Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074
2
00:00:24,115 --> 00:00:28,753
Everyone knows that birds migrate...
3
00:00:28,755 --> 00:00:33,153
..but not which country they believe
to be their home -
4
00:00:33,155 --> 00:00:36,713
the hard, hot, cloudless climate of
the south,
5
00:00:36,715 --> 00:00:42,673
or the fragile, grey-white warmth
of our own climes?
6
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:45,913
But perhaps the birds are simply
lucky
7
00:00:45,915 --> 00:00:48,595
they have the best of both worlds.
8
00:01:08,755 --> 00:01:12,193
I spy with my little eye, something
beginning with L, Nancy.
9
00:01:12,195 --> 00:01:13,393
Ladder?
10
00:01:13,395 --> 00:01:14,753
SHE GROANS
11
00:01:14,755 --> 00:01:16,713
These were the best of the bunch.
12
00:01:16,715 --> 00:01:19,953
I thought if the hole was round the
back, the patients wouldn't see it.
13
00:01:19,955 --> 00:01:23,913
You know perfectly well that that
is not acceptable, Nurse Corrigan.
14
00:01:23,915 --> 00:01:25,953
Does anyone have a spare pair?
15
00:01:25,955 --> 00:01:29,115
I always have a spare pair, as Nurse
Corrigan knows.
16
00:01:38,675 --> 00:01:39,875
Sister!
17
00:01:41,275 --> 00:01:43,193
What's the matter?
18
00:01:43,195 --> 00:01:44,793
I...
19
00:01:44,795 --> 00:01:47,233
I just feel so dreadfully...
20
00:01:47,235 --> 00:01:49,793
..dizzy, as though I might be sick.
21
00:01:49,795 --> 00:01:52,955
Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get
you home. You can lean on me.
22
00:01:54,035 --> 00:01:55,193
Oh!
23
00:01:55,195 --> 00:01:56,593
Oh, Miss Higgins,
24
00:01:56,595 --> 00:01:59,553
we've had overnight guests at the
back of the building.
25
00:01:59,555 --> 00:02:01,353
It was meths drinkers, I'm afraid.
26
00:02:01,355 --> 00:02:03,393
I asked them to take their leave
when I arrived,
27
00:02:03,395 --> 00:02:05,433
and they did so with surprising
courtesy.
28
00:02:05,435 --> 00:02:07,593
They've been using the stairwell as
a lavatory.
29
00:02:07,595 --> 00:02:09,233
Reparations are in hand
30
00:02:09,235 --> 00:02:12,913
and hygiene will be restored before
patients arrive.
31
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:14,315
Thank you, Miss Higgins.
32
00:02:15,875 --> 00:02:18,753
I hope they don't make a habit of
it, Patrick.
33
00:02:18,755 --> 00:02:21,433
We seem to be seeing more of them
round here recently.
34
00:02:21,435 --> 00:02:24,153
It's this new wave of demolitions.
35
00:02:24,155 --> 00:02:27,153
The men tended to gather in the
cellars of the old houses
36
00:02:27,155 --> 00:02:28,593
up around Albany Square,
37
00:02:28,595 --> 00:02:32,113
but with those gone, they'll be
looking for new quarters.
38
00:02:32,115 --> 00:02:34,153
Homelessness is all relative.
39
00:02:34,155 --> 00:02:38,633
I know, but they're so unsavoury
and people are afraid of them.
40
00:02:38,635 --> 00:02:40,035
PHONE RINGS
41
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:43,833
Good morning, Dr Turner's surgery.
42
00:02:43,835 --> 00:02:45,233
I spoke to the surgery.
43
00:02:45,235 --> 00:02:48,193
Dr Turner's going to come see
Sister Julienne at 11:30am.
44
00:02:48,195 --> 00:02:50,313
Thank you, Nurse Corrigan.
45
00:02:50,315 --> 00:02:53,153
Meanwhile, we have a change of tack
for you this week.
46
00:02:53,155 --> 00:02:55,995
Your debut on the district roster
beckons.
47
00:02:57,315 --> 00:02:59,353
I usually just do midwifery.
48
00:02:59,355 --> 00:03:02,473
That's because you needed to
consolidate your skills.
49
00:03:02,475 --> 00:03:04,593
Now you need to expand them.
50
00:03:04,595 --> 00:03:07,313
You're to go with Sister Frances on
the district round.
51
00:03:07,315 --> 00:03:10,153
That means you can help me do the
sputum tests
52
00:03:10,155 --> 00:03:12,073
at the Hostel for Tuberculous Men.
53
00:03:12,075 --> 00:03:14,675
See? It's non-stop glamour.
54
00:03:18,515 --> 00:03:20,633
Midwife calling.
55
00:03:20,635 --> 00:03:22,513
You here to see Maureen? Mm.
56
00:03:22,515 --> 00:03:24,473
She's gone down the launderette.
57
00:03:24,475 --> 00:03:27,513
It's just a routine call.
I shall leave a note.
58
00:03:27,515 --> 00:03:29,553
It's Thelma Haig, isn't it?
59
00:03:29,555 --> 00:03:31,193
I bet you never forget a face...
60
00:03:31,195 --> 00:03:32,833
..or a varicose ulcer.
61
00:03:32,835 --> 00:03:35,073
I thought we'd never see the back of
that one.
62
00:03:35,075 --> 00:03:37,553
I must have been dressing it for
nigh on three months.
63
00:03:37,555 --> 00:03:40,035
Right as ninepence now, thanks to
you, Nurse.
64
00:03:43,155 --> 00:03:44,755
Is she ready, Mrs Haig?
65
00:03:47,955 --> 00:03:50,035
Julie, your manager's here!
66
00:03:54,955 --> 00:03:56,593
I'm off, Mum.
67
00:03:56,595 --> 00:03:57,793
Don't wait up.
68
00:03:57,795 --> 00:03:59,875
I'll always wait up. You're my
daughter.
69
00:04:04,755 --> 00:04:06,513
He's her manager.
70
00:04:06,515 --> 00:04:08,353
I gathered that.
71
00:04:08,355 --> 00:04:10,633
She's blossomed
since I last saw her.
72
00:04:10,635 --> 00:04:13,153
Yeah, she never used to look like
anything much
73
00:04:13,155 --> 00:04:14,593
but she could always sing.
74
00:04:14,595 --> 00:04:15,953
I used to say to her all the time,
75
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:18,513
"You keep up that singing and it'll
bring you opportunities."
76
00:04:18,515 --> 00:04:21,753
A girl with a gift is a woman with
potential.
77
00:04:21,755 --> 00:04:23,913
Mr Lewin spotted her in a talent
show,
78
00:04:23,915 --> 00:04:26,633
and now she sings in clubs all
over town, yeah.
79
00:04:26,635 --> 00:04:29,113
She's got a contract to record a
single
80
00:04:29,115 --> 00:04:31,633
and he reckons she's in with a
chance of being on the telly,
81
00:04:31,635 --> 00:04:34,913
and if he can make that happen,
well, the sky's the limit.
82
00:04:34,915 --> 00:04:37,633
It's always been just you and her,
hasn't it?
83
00:04:37,635 --> 00:04:39,833
I brought her up on my own, yeah.
84
00:04:39,835 --> 00:04:41,353
You look after each other, now.
85
00:04:41,355 --> 00:04:42,595
We will.
86
00:04:46,475 --> 00:04:48,673
I never heard of a TB hostel before.
87
00:04:48,675 --> 00:04:52,113
I thought everyone with TB went to a
country sanatorium.
88
00:04:52,115 --> 00:04:53,513
It's quite a new idea.
89
00:04:53,515 --> 00:04:55,113
Cheaper probably, but...
90
00:04:55,115 --> 00:04:57,713
..it keeps all the men under one
roof, so we know where they are,
91
00:04:57,715 --> 00:04:59,713
and it's clean, they can be
monitored
92
00:04:59,715 --> 00:05:01,715
and we can help them with nutrition.
93
00:05:13,875 --> 00:05:15,835
Where are you?
94
00:05:27,355 --> 00:05:28,555
Eh...
95
00:05:29,635 --> 00:05:31,193
Your blood pressure's normal.
96
00:05:31,195 --> 00:05:34,233
No sign of any swollen glands or
fever.
97
00:05:34,235 --> 00:05:36,833
I'm putting my money on
labyrinthitis.
98
00:05:36,835 --> 00:05:38,713
Is that the inner ear?
99
00:05:38,715 --> 00:05:40,673
A mild infection or...
100
00:05:40,675 --> 00:05:43,113
..possibly a bubble in the
vestibular fluid.
101
00:05:43,115 --> 00:05:45,433
The best treatment is rest.
102
00:05:45,435 --> 00:05:48,393
You can draw the curtains if you
feel very dizzy.
103
00:05:48,395 --> 00:05:51,793
Resting and drawing the curtains is
not going to help...
104
00:05:51,795 --> 00:05:53,713
..Nonnatus House run smoothly.
105
00:05:53,715 --> 00:05:55,233
I can see to all of that.
106
00:05:55,235 --> 00:05:57,273
There's even more to do than usual.
107
00:05:57,275 --> 00:06:00,153
I still haven't managed to arrange
the anniversary event.
108
00:06:00,155 --> 00:06:04,393
This month marks 100 years
since the Order came to Poplar.
109
00:06:04,395 --> 00:06:05,913
I specialise in celebrations.
110
00:06:05,915 --> 00:06:07,153
I know you do.
111
00:06:07,155 --> 00:06:09,153
Sister, we've been here before.
112
00:06:09,155 --> 00:06:11,953
You work yourself to a thread time
and time again,
113
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:13,393
and then what happens?
114
00:06:13,395 --> 00:06:14,715
Threads snap.
115
00:06:16,115 --> 00:06:19,033
One day, we won't be able to mend
you.
116
00:06:19,035 --> 00:06:21,033
I will rest...
117
00:06:21,035 --> 00:06:22,993
..for three days.
118
00:06:22,995 --> 00:06:25,873
You will rest for as long as I tell
you to.
119
00:06:25,875 --> 00:06:29,595
And in the meantime, I don't care
who helps you, but someone must.
120
00:06:31,155 --> 00:06:33,715
And you must accept that
with good grace.
121
00:06:36,955 --> 00:06:40,593
I think we need to get the doctor
out to see you, Mr Huntley.
122
00:06:40,595 --> 00:06:44,593
I'm worried about your weight loss
and your weakness.
123
00:06:44,595 --> 00:06:46,393
Nurse Corrigan...
124
00:06:46,395 --> 00:06:48,913
..have you collected those samples?
All done and dusted.
125
00:06:48,915 --> 00:06:51,473
Nothing like decanting some phlegm
to brighten up a morning.
126
00:06:51,475 --> 00:06:56,193
I need your help turning Mr Huntley
and getting him more comfortable.
127
00:06:56,195 --> 00:06:58,235
He's not doing so well
all of a sudden.
128
00:07:01,675 --> 00:07:05,635
Right. One, two, three.
129
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:09,113
There you go. All done.
130
00:07:09,115 --> 00:07:11,633
You're good girls.
131
00:07:11,635 --> 00:07:13,435
It's all part of the service.
132
00:07:16,835 --> 00:07:18,073
My name's Avis.
133
00:07:18,075 --> 00:07:20,193
Joan Avis, Cotton Field Tower.
134
00:07:20,195 --> 00:07:22,913
Our rubbish chute has been blocked
for two weeks
135
00:07:22,915 --> 00:07:24,873
and there's no light bulb in the
stairwell.
136
00:07:24,875 --> 00:07:26,873
Well, I have an evening surgery.
137
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:29,633
You're welcome to attend, if you'd
like to make a formal complaint.
138
00:07:29,635 --> 00:07:32,473
This is a formal complaint.
I've got my smart coat on.
139
00:07:32,475 --> 00:07:35,673
And please be advised, I shall be
suspending payment of my rates
140
00:07:35,675 --> 00:07:37,313
if matters don't improve.
141
00:07:37,315 --> 00:07:40,593
I'm not quite sure where you think
you are, Mrs Avis, but...
142
00:07:40,595 --> 00:07:42,473
..this isn't the rates office.
143
00:07:42,475 --> 00:07:44,313
Oh, it's not a dressmaker's either.
144
00:07:44,315 --> 00:07:46,915
That hem looks like it was done with
a knife and fork.
145
00:07:51,075 --> 00:07:54,233
We need to go straight to the
phone box and call the surgery.
146
00:07:54,235 --> 00:07:58,113
Mr Huntley's pulse is weak and he's
so debilitated.
147
00:07:58,115 --> 00:08:00,273
Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
148
00:08:00,275 --> 00:08:04,033
Well, if he is dying, and I think he
might be dying,
149
00:08:04,035 --> 00:08:07,113
we'll take care of him here in his
own bed. His own bed?
150
00:08:07,115 --> 00:08:09,673
This is no better than a dosshouse.
151
00:08:09,675 --> 00:08:12,833
The men in here used to be sailors
and labourers, Nancy.
152
00:08:12,835 --> 00:08:15,073
They're too old and too
sick to work now,
153
00:08:15,075 --> 00:08:17,713
and they've no families to turn to
or to take them in.
154
00:08:17,715 --> 00:08:20,353
They've been in and out of actual
dosshouses their whole lives,
155
00:08:20,355 --> 00:08:21,873
and I promise you, this is better.
156
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:23,675
I'm sorry, I just don't see how.
157
00:08:30,395 --> 00:08:33,153
And it's an emphatic no to
strawberries and evap
158
00:08:33,155 --> 00:08:34,513
from Sister Julienne.
159
00:08:34,515 --> 00:08:35,913
That bodes ill.
160
00:08:35,915 --> 00:08:39,993
The strawberry is a fruit of which
she has always been extremely fond.
161
00:08:39,995 --> 00:08:42,873
I don't think she fancies trying to
eat them lying down.
162
00:08:42,875 --> 00:08:45,673
She goes dizzy the minute she tries
to lift her head up off the pillow.
163
00:08:45,675 --> 00:08:47,873
I shall be heading upstairs in short
order
164
00:08:47,875 --> 00:08:50,833
to make sure she passes all
responsibilities on to me,
165
00:08:50,835 --> 00:08:53,073
including the centenary celebration.
166
00:08:53,075 --> 00:08:57,233
I think you'll find she refers to
the event as a "commemoration".
167
00:08:57,235 --> 00:08:58,753
Be that as it may,
168
00:08:58,755 --> 00:09:02,433
she can't be setting events in train
from her couch of anguish,
169
00:09:02,435 --> 00:09:05,235
and I am content to step into
the breach.
170
00:09:10,715 --> 00:09:13,873
I think, after this, I shall be a
shoo-in for next year's Olympics.
171
00:09:13,875 --> 00:09:15,553
Mexico City, here I come.
172
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:18,313
Do the Olympics have a medal for
catching and throwing?
173
00:09:18,315 --> 00:09:21,635
Of course, and I'd get a gold medal
with moves like this.
174
00:09:23,315 --> 00:09:24,955
Mummy!
175
00:09:27,435 --> 00:09:30,633
Excuse me, mister, can I have my
ball back, please?
176
00:09:30,635 --> 00:09:33,793
Yeah, you'll have to come fetch it
if you want it,
177
00:09:33,795 --> 00:09:36,673
cos I've got a bad leg.
178
00:09:36,675 --> 00:09:38,113
All right.
179
00:09:38,115 --> 00:09:39,235
Colette.
180
00:09:41,155 --> 00:09:42,553
Come away!
181
00:09:42,555 --> 00:09:43,953
She's all right.
182
00:09:43,955 --> 00:09:46,553
Don't panic, I had her in my sights.
183
00:09:46,555 --> 00:09:48,553
The likes of him shouldn't even be
around here.
184
00:09:48,555 --> 00:09:50,113
He looks harmless enough.
185
00:09:50,115 --> 00:09:52,553
There is a school over there!
186
00:09:52,555 --> 00:09:54,553
Meths drinkers are like rats,
187
00:09:54,555 --> 00:09:56,915
except the council does something
about rats.
188
00:09:59,035 --> 00:10:02,113
COLETTE: Why does that man smell so
horrible?
189
00:10:02,115 --> 00:10:05,793
He's in the habit of drinking stuff
that's very bad for him.
190
00:10:05,795 --> 00:10:09,033
It has an effect on his blood and
his insides.
191
00:10:09,035 --> 00:10:11,193
So, why does he do it?
192
00:10:11,195 --> 00:10:12,473
I don't know.
193
00:10:12,475 --> 00:10:14,393
He might not know himself.
194
00:10:14,395 --> 00:10:17,593
But you keep away from him and men
like him, do you hear me?
195
00:10:17,595 --> 00:10:19,593
OK, come on. Let's get you a piece
of cake
196
00:10:19,595 --> 00:10:21,553
before I take you back to Auntie
Vera's.
197
00:10:21,555 --> 00:10:25,353
Cry me a river
198
00:10:25,355 --> 00:10:29,633
Cry me a river
199
00:10:29,635 --> 00:10:36,275
I cried a river over you
200
00:10:44,395 --> 00:10:51,233
I cried a river over you.
201
00:10:51,235 --> 00:10:53,793
APPLAUSE
202
00:10:53,795 --> 00:10:55,153
Wow!
203
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,115
Wow, girl, they love you!
204
00:11:12,675 --> 00:11:14,433
DOOR OPENS
205
00:11:14,435 --> 00:11:16,553
Oh, Vi.
206
00:11:16,555 --> 00:11:18,233
I was getting worried about you.
207
00:11:18,235 --> 00:11:21,113
You've been cooking fried bread?
208
00:11:21,115 --> 00:11:23,953
It was for you
but it was getting cold.
209
00:11:23,955 --> 00:11:27,273
Council meetings don't normally go
on this late.
210
00:11:27,275 --> 00:11:28,913
Well...
211
00:11:28,915 --> 00:11:31,713
..we had a bit of a turn-up for
the books, as it happens,
212
00:11:31,715 --> 00:11:34,553
and we ended up with quite a lot
to discuss.
213
00:11:34,555 --> 00:11:35,713
Oh, yeah?
214
00:11:35,715 --> 00:11:37,713
What's that, then?
215
00:11:37,715 --> 00:11:39,673
Lord Stonham has invited us
216
00:11:39,675 --> 00:11:42,873
to send a deputation
to the House of Commons.
217
00:11:42,875 --> 00:11:44,393
Oh, what brought that about, then?
218
00:11:44,395 --> 00:11:46,513
You know he started
out in the East End himself,
219
00:11:46,515 --> 00:11:49,313
and we've corresponded with him over
various issues
220
00:11:49,315 --> 00:11:50,993
for the last year or two, and...
221
00:11:50,995 --> 00:11:54,033
..well, he always seemed inclined to
listen to working people.
222
00:11:54,035 --> 00:11:56,273
And now that he's Minister for
State,
223
00:11:56,275 --> 00:11:58,833
he wants to hear from us direct.
224
00:11:58,835 --> 00:12:00,233
Are you going to get to go, Vi?
225
00:12:00,235 --> 00:12:03,113
Well, I thought it would be all
the men
226
00:12:03,115 --> 00:12:06,433
but they want me to be part of the
deputation.
227
00:12:06,435 --> 00:12:08,433
You say that like you're surprised.
228
00:12:08,435 --> 00:12:10,713
Yeah, well, I'm certainly daunted.
229
00:12:10,715 --> 00:12:12,593
All the way home I kept on thinking,
230
00:12:12,595 --> 00:12:15,513
"What am I going to wear?
What am I going to say?
231
00:12:15,515 --> 00:12:18,993
"And what is it that Poplar people
really want?"
232
00:12:18,995 --> 00:12:23,273
If I were you, I would just round
them up and ask them face-to-face.
233
00:12:23,275 --> 00:12:24,475
Mm.
234
00:12:33,075 --> 00:12:35,793
Milk's going on for your Bournvita.
235
00:12:35,795 --> 00:12:38,433
How was it?
236
00:12:38,435 --> 00:12:41,393
You look proper washed-out under all
that panstick.
237
00:12:41,395 --> 00:12:43,473
SHE SOBS QUIETLY
238
00:12:43,475 --> 00:12:45,793
Petal...
239
00:12:45,795 --> 00:12:47,513
..what's up?
240
00:12:47,515 --> 00:12:50,713
I had one of them
funny turns onstage.
241
00:12:50,715 --> 00:12:52,793
Everything was just swimming in
front of me
242
00:12:52,795 --> 00:12:54,393
and there was smoke in my eyes,
243
00:12:54,395 --> 00:12:57,993
and the baby was
just kicking and kicking.
244
00:12:57,995 --> 00:12:59,873
You're going to have
to tell Mr Lewin.
245
00:12:59,875 --> 00:13:02,273
You haven't even told Jeff and he's
the baby's father.
246
00:13:02,275 --> 00:13:04,593
Everything's fizzled out since he
joined the Army.
247
00:13:04,595 --> 00:13:06,193
It's like we're just pen-friends.
248
00:13:06,195 --> 00:13:08,233
We've both had our heads in the sand
about this.
249
00:13:08,235 --> 00:13:09,633
Me just as much as you,
250
00:13:09,635 --> 00:13:12,313
cos I've been trying to play things
your way but...
251
00:13:12,315 --> 00:13:13,915
..Julie, you are pregnant.
252
00:13:16,235 --> 00:13:18,835
If I can just keep it
a secret for a bit longer...
253
00:13:24,435 --> 00:13:27,073
You're running a temperature, Julie.
254
00:13:27,075 --> 00:13:28,475
I don't think we can.
255
00:13:32,315 --> 00:13:33,635
PHONE RINGS
256
00:13:38,835 --> 00:13:41,793
Good morning. Nonnatus House,
midwife speaking.
257
00:13:41,795 --> 00:13:43,553
You were right, Sister Frances.
258
00:13:43,555 --> 00:13:46,793
I was slightly worried about
Mr Huntley at the TB hostel
259
00:13:46,795 --> 00:13:50,913
when I saw him last night, but he
seemed bright enough.
260
00:13:50,915 --> 00:13:54,153
I came back early this morning and
he's really gone downhill.
261
00:13:54,155 --> 00:13:55,673
Does he need someone with him?
262
00:13:55,675 --> 00:13:57,033
Yes.
263
00:13:57,035 --> 00:13:59,515
It could be another
24 hours or so.
264
00:14:00,835 --> 00:14:02,713
You know what it's like, but...
265
00:14:02,715 --> 00:14:04,515
No-one dies alone, Doctor Turner.
266
00:14:05,755 --> 00:14:07,033
Not on our watch.
267
00:14:07,035 --> 00:14:09,113
HORN BEEPS
268
00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:11,313
Is she all right this morning?
I'm fine.
269
00:14:11,315 --> 00:14:13,153
She's got a bit of a sore throat.
270
00:14:13,155 --> 00:14:14,473
I'm taking her to the quack
271
00:14:14,475 --> 00:14:17,793
to see if he can give her some sort
of prescription gargle. Perfect.
272
00:14:17,795 --> 00:14:21,713
Cos I have secured an audition for
a certain young lady for...
273
00:14:21,715 --> 00:14:23,393
..Associated Television.
274
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:24,793
When, Mo?
275
00:14:24,795 --> 00:14:27,153
5pm tomorrow.
276
00:14:27,155 --> 00:14:29,835
Hop in, let's make sure we get your
pipes oiled.
277
00:14:37,155 --> 00:14:41,033
Smoking is not
permitted in the surgery.
278
00:14:41,035 --> 00:14:43,673
It's a top-quality cigar.
279
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:45,913
Havanas, Panatellas, Henley's
280
00:14:45,915 --> 00:14:48,953
or roll-ups stuffed with the
cheapest shag -
281
00:14:48,955 --> 00:14:51,235
the same rule applies
and will be enforced.
282
00:14:54,235 --> 00:14:56,193
Look, if we don't get
satisfaction here,
283
00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:58,193
I'm taking Julie to Harley Street.
284
00:14:58,195 --> 00:14:59,873
That girl...
285
00:14:59,875 --> 00:15:01,315
..heading for the top.
286
00:15:08,435 --> 00:15:10,233
I'm quite far gone, aren't I?
287
00:15:10,235 --> 00:15:13,113
I'd put you at 36 weeks, lass.
288
00:15:13,115 --> 00:15:17,033
In other words, you've seen off
eight out of nine months pregnancy
289
00:15:17,035 --> 00:15:18,873
with no medical support.
290
00:15:18,875 --> 00:15:22,193
No wonder you're feeling a bit
frayed around the edges.
291
00:15:22,195 --> 00:15:24,673
Will she have hurt the baby,
Doctor...
292
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:26,753
..cramming it flat with that panty
girdle?
293
00:15:26,755 --> 00:15:30,713
We're giving her a thorough
once-over but I doubt it very much.
294
00:15:30,715 --> 00:15:33,793
NURSE CRANE: Doctor's going to have
a feel of your tummy now, Julie.
295
00:15:33,795 --> 00:15:35,115
Usual bloods?
296
00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:40,473
Oh, come on. No tears, now.
297
00:15:40,475 --> 00:15:43,633
We've plenty of time
to get things organised.
298
00:15:43,635 --> 00:15:47,273
She's got an audition for a
television show tomorrow night.
299
00:15:47,275 --> 00:15:49,153
SHE MOANS
300
00:15:49,155 --> 00:15:51,353
Oh, no, she hasn't.
301
00:15:51,355 --> 00:15:55,755
Because what she has got, I suspect,
is a very nasty water infection.
302
00:16:00,595 --> 00:16:02,433
Is Colette too young
for the Judy, Fred?
303
00:16:02,435 --> 00:16:05,273
I wouldn't know.
Reggie's the expert on the comics.
304
00:16:05,275 --> 00:16:07,353
I bet even he don't
read the girls' ones.
305
00:16:07,355 --> 00:16:09,633
I'll get it anyway.
Free gift this week.
306
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:11,473
Nurse Nancy, just the person!
307
00:16:11,475 --> 00:16:14,353
Now, I've arranged an open meeting
at the Institute.
308
00:16:14,355 --> 00:16:18,915
Could you deliver some handbills on
your rounds, please?
309
00:16:23,835 --> 00:16:25,233
Do you sell drink?
310
00:16:25,235 --> 00:16:28,393
No, sorry, pal.
We don't have a licence.
311
00:16:28,395 --> 00:16:31,435
We do baccy and fags,
if you want those.
312
00:16:35,515 --> 00:16:37,433
No, I'll leave it.
313
00:16:37,435 --> 00:16:38,915
Thanks all the same.
314
00:16:42,555 --> 00:16:45,113
He'll probably go straight to the
ironmongers
315
00:16:45,115 --> 00:16:46,913
and buy methylated spirits.
316
00:16:46,915 --> 00:16:48,873
It smells like sewer gas.
317
00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:51,673
I wouldn't light
any matches for a while.
318
00:16:51,675 --> 00:16:53,155
SHE GIGGLES
319
00:16:54,835 --> 00:16:58,633
He would've been a
respectable bloke, once.
320
00:16:58,635 --> 00:17:02,555
Just because he isn't now
doesn't entitle us to laugh at him.
321
00:17:07,275 --> 00:17:08,755
Here, mate.
322
00:17:10,635 --> 00:17:11,915
Take these.
323
00:17:14,635 --> 00:17:17,073
It's not got much of a kick to it,
but, you know,
324
00:17:17,075 --> 00:17:19,393
with the warm weather and all that.
325
00:17:19,395 --> 00:17:20,593
Well...
326
00:17:20,595 --> 00:17:22,513
..I won't say no.
327
00:17:22,515 --> 00:17:23,915
Thank you.
328
00:17:28,355 --> 00:17:29,993
She can't be in the family way.
329
00:17:29,995 --> 00:17:31,993
She's...she's been wearing
minidresses!
330
00:17:31,995 --> 00:17:34,593
We've built every stage outfit
around the Sandie Shaw look.
331
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:36,793
She needs bed rest and antibiotics.
332
00:17:36,795 --> 00:17:39,553
They're going to keep her in
overnight in the maternity home.
333
00:17:39,555 --> 00:17:42,673
Maternity home! I never even noticed
a blinking thing!
334
00:17:42,675 --> 00:17:45,313
The chances are
ATV won't notice either.
335
00:17:45,315 --> 00:17:48,273
She can still do the audition.
No, she can't!
336
00:17:48,275 --> 00:17:50,593
From now on, my daughter's health
comes first.
337
00:17:50,595 --> 00:17:52,873
I'm not saying never mind about her
health, Mrs Haig.
338
00:17:52,875 --> 00:17:55,433
But I am saying,
what about her future?
339
00:17:55,435 --> 00:17:58,393
I can't market an unmarried mother.
340
00:17:58,395 --> 00:18:01,313
She's already got a
contract for the single.
341
00:18:01,315 --> 00:18:04,153
They'll drop her like a stone
the minute they find out.
342
00:18:04,155 --> 00:18:06,993
Well, then, her future
stops here, doesn't it?
343
00:18:06,995 --> 00:18:09,235
Everything we planned is over.
344
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:13,153
If she tied the knot with someone,
it would be a different matter.
345
00:18:13,155 --> 00:18:15,593
Dare I ask where the father is?
346
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:17,593
Westfalen, Germany.
347
00:18:17,595 --> 00:18:20,033
He's in the Rifles.
348
00:18:20,035 --> 00:18:21,635
Well, he wants ruddy shooting.
349
00:18:26,835 --> 00:18:29,075
It must be like feeling seasick.
350
00:18:30,395 --> 00:18:34,833
It is, only without the consoling
thought of a holiday destination
351
00:18:34,835 --> 00:18:37,633
at the end of it.
352
00:18:37,635 --> 00:18:38,875
All will be well.
353
00:18:40,395 --> 00:18:45,033
Only I'm not convinced all will be
well in time for the centenary.
354
00:18:45,035 --> 00:18:47,235
Do you have to mark it at all?
355
00:18:49,235 --> 00:18:51,913
There have been so many miracles
along the way
356
00:18:51,915 --> 00:18:54,113
that thanksgiving seems essential.
357
00:18:54,115 --> 00:18:55,473
But...
358
00:18:55,475 --> 00:18:57,673
..we mustn't seem to be patting
ourselves on the back.
359
00:18:57,675 --> 00:19:00,193
Sister Hilda seems to be
full of ideas.
360
00:19:00,195 --> 00:19:03,473
Sister Hilda is as inventive as she
is enthusiastic,
361
00:19:03,475 --> 00:19:07,035
which I fear will prove a rather
febrile mix.
362
00:19:09,395 --> 00:19:11,353
You, on the other hand...
363
00:19:11,355 --> 00:19:13,953
..know us inside and out...
364
00:19:13,955 --> 00:19:17,193
..and can look towards us from the
outside in.
365
00:19:17,195 --> 00:19:19,873
Oh, I hope you're not suggesting
I might take it over.
366
00:19:19,875 --> 00:19:22,673
No, I'm asking you to.
367
00:19:22,675 --> 00:19:27,355
Simple, dignified, loving and
truthful.
368
00:19:29,155 --> 00:19:31,515
No-one can do it...better.
369
00:19:35,315 --> 00:19:37,313
I want all of this drunk up
370
00:19:37,315 --> 00:19:40,153
and there'll be another glass of
water with your teatime omelette.
371
00:19:40,155 --> 00:19:42,553
The baby's going to drown
if I carry on like this.
372
00:19:42,555 --> 00:19:47,273
A regular intake of fluids is just
as important as your antibiotics.
373
00:19:47,275 --> 00:19:50,953
We need to get that
infection on the run.
374
00:19:50,955 --> 00:19:53,953
Yep, you do as the nurse says, girl.
375
00:19:53,955 --> 00:19:56,593
Now I've rearranged the audition
for next week,
376
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:58,793
you've really got
something to aim towards.
377
00:19:58,795 --> 00:20:00,633
If I may interject,
378
00:20:00,635 --> 00:20:03,713
I think Doctor Turner may be of the
opposite opinion.
379
00:20:03,715 --> 00:20:05,793
I just want to sing, Nurse Crane.
380
00:20:05,795 --> 00:20:09,953
I want to be like Helen Shapiro used
to be, like Shirley Bassey is now.
381
00:20:09,955 --> 00:20:12,233
She's from somewhere no better than
round here,
382
00:20:12,235 --> 00:20:14,033
and they say she's made
so much money
383
00:20:14,035 --> 00:20:15,593
she's going to have to live abroad.
384
00:20:15,595 --> 00:20:17,993
There's nothing wrong in wanting to
get on in life.
385
00:20:17,995 --> 00:20:21,273
I transfigured my own
fortunes in my small way.
386
00:20:21,275 --> 00:20:24,073
But you're not going to be playing
The Palladium
387
00:20:24,075 --> 00:20:26,113
when you're 36 weeks gone.
388
00:20:26,115 --> 00:20:28,193
The audition is for the telly
389
00:20:28,195 --> 00:20:31,353
and they can do things
with camera angles.
390
00:20:31,355 --> 00:20:35,713
What you can't do with a camera is
bring an infant into the world
391
00:20:35,715 --> 00:20:39,115
on time,
properly nourished and healthy.
392
00:20:40,515 --> 00:20:43,073
You've got work to do, lass...
393
00:20:43,075 --> 00:20:45,155
..and it isn't on the stage.
394
00:20:55,195 --> 00:20:56,395
Hello.
395
00:20:57,955 --> 00:20:59,915
I'm sorry to disturb you.
396
00:21:01,395 --> 00:21:04,593
I'm only listening
to the dogs bark.
397
00:21:04,595 --> 00:21:06,793
They do that in the evenings.
398
00:21:06,795 --> 00:21:09,073
They send messages to each other.
399
00:21:09,075 --> 00:21:11,753
I brought you some things that you
might find handy -
400
00:21:11,755 --> 00:21:13,953
a walking stick and a mack.
401
00:21:13,955 --> 00:21:15,993
You'll be too warm
in that overcoat soon.
402
00:21:15,995 --> 00:21:17,633
I don't like to take it off.
403
00:21:17,635 --> 00:21:20,635
A good coat gets to be a friend.
404
00:21:23,315 --> 00:21:25,633
Will you have the stick?
405
00:21:25,635 --> 00:21:27,675
I might give it a try.
406
00:21:32,195 --> 00:21:34,435
I wondered if you'd hurt
your foot, sir.
407
00:21:35,875 --> 00:21:37,233
"Sir"?
408
00:21:37,235 --> 00:21:38,833
HE LAUGHS
409
00:21:38,835 --> 00:21:43,153
I'm a nurse. It gives you a knack
with the etiquette.
410
00:21:43,155 --> 00:21:46,593
No, I got shot of
my surname years ago.
411
00:21:46,595 --> 00:21:51,635
I just answer to the name of
Bernard, like a dog.
412
00:21:54,715 --> 00:21:56,835
You're from Ireland.
413
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:00,473
My name's Nancy.
414
00:22:00,475 --> 00:22:03,513
I was born in Cork but I live here
now.
415
00:22:03,515 --> 00:22:06,633
My mother was from Skibbereen.
416
00:22:06,635 --> 00:22:08,673
She...she lived here, too.
417
00:22:08,675 --> 00:22:11,233
People from our neck of the woods
get everywhere.
418
00:22:11,235 --> 00:22:15,835
When I see things that are yellow
sometimes, I...I think of her.
419
00:22:17,515 --> 00:22:20,153
A painted door, a ribbon on a
child...
420
00:22:20,155 --> 00:22:24,073
She...she had eyes the colour of
robins' eggs
421
00:22:24,075 --> 00:22:27,513
but it...it was the yellow things
she loved.
422
00:22:27,515 --> 00:22:29,913
Does that foot hurt you, Bernard?
423
00:22:29,915 --> 00:22:33,153
You could come to the surgery, where
I work, and get it dressed.
424
00:22:33,155 --> 00:22:34,993
No.
425
00:22:34,995 --> 00:22:37,035
I can't...I can't even feel it.
426
00:22:39,755 --> 00:22:42,673
It's the best way.
427
00:22:42,675 --> 00:22:44,593
Best way.
428
00:22:44,595 --> 00:22:47,435
Is that the pop that Fred gave you
from the shop?
429
00:22:48,515 --> 00:22:50,873
Might be.
430
00:22:50,875 --> 00:22:55,035
Might be a little bit more to it,
now.
431
00:22:56,835 --> 00:23:00,753
You know, I...I was just looking...
432
00:23:00,755 --> 00:23:04,833
..for them little golden flowers.
433
00:23:04,835 --> 00:23:07,353
Not daisies.
434
00:23:07,355 --> 00:23:09,395
The ones that shine.
435
00:23:11,235 --> 00:23:13,553
Butterfingers and all that.
436
00:23:13,555 --> 00:23:15,235
You mean buttercups?
437
00:23:16,995 --> 00:23:18,195
Might do.
438
00:23:23,195 --> 00:23:26,555
I keep looking but I never find any.
439
00:23:29,035 --> 00:23:31,313
I have no objection to Mrs Turner -
440
00:23:31,315 --> 00:23:36,113
doctor's wife, midwife, nurse and,
well, general all-round good egg -
441
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:38,593
arranging the centenary celebration.
442
00:23:38,595 --> 00:23:41,273
I have every objection to such an
important role
443
00:23:41,275 --> 00:23:45,235
being assigned to Sister Bernadette,
ex-nun!
444
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:49,433
Perhaps we can talk about what we're
likely to see the Queen wearing,
445
00:23:49,435 --> 00:23:51,393
during her forthcoming tour to
Canada.
446
00:23:51,395 --> 00:23:54,873
I'm always very struck by her
diplomatic choice of colours.
447
00:23:54,875 --> 00:23:57,473
So, I'd anticipate a lot of red
and white
448
00:23:57,475 --> 00:24:00,633
and she might borrow the maple leaf
brooch from the Queen Mother.
449
00:24:00,635 --> 00:24:03,473
I'd just like to see her jazz up her
shoes a bit.
450
00:24:03,475 --> 00:24:06,033
And her bags. I mean, they're all
the same.
451
00:24:06,035 --> 00:24:09,713
Her footwear does seem to be
becoming increasingly conservative.
452
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:13,475
Once upon a time, it wasn't unusual
to see her in a peep-toe.
453
00:24:57,115 --> 00:25:01,753
Hello. I'd like to enquire about
making an international call...
454
00:25:01,755 --> 00:25:03,115
..to West Germany.
455
00:25:05,875 --> 00:25:07,515
There you go, Albert.
456
00:25:09,035 --> 00:25:11,513
That should freshen you up a little.
457
00:25:11,515 --> 00:25:15,153
Albert - it seems so natural now,
458
00:25:15,155 --> 00:25:18,233
even to one from a generation such
as mine,
459
00:25:18,235 --> 00:25:20,473
where formal terms prevailed.
460
00:25:20,475 --> 00:25:23,873
A woman's Christian name, when she's
in travail.
461
00:25:23,875 --> 00:25:30,513
A man's, when he stands in equipoise
betwixt this life and the next.
462
00:25:30,515 --> 00:25:34,475
You think of his mother choosing it,
don't you, when he was born?
463
00:25:36,355 --> 00:25:40,993
Looking down at his little face and
wondering what would suit him.
464
00:25:40,995 --> 00:25:45,273
I've brought you a Thermos of
minestrone and some Cheddar rolls.
465
00:25:45,275 --> 00:25:48,995
A rather savoury repast for so early
in the day.
466
00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:55,673
Sister Monica Joan...
467
00:25:55,675 --> 00:25:56,835
..I think he's going.
468
00:26:08,435 --> 00:26:12,075
Depart, O Christian soul, out of
this world.
469
00:26:13,115 --> 00:26:17,633
In the Name of God, the Father
Almighty, who created you.
470
00:26:17,635 --> 00:26:21,073
In the Name of Jesus Christ, who
redeemed you.
471
00:26:21,075 --> 00:26:25,033
In the Name of the Holy Spirit, who
sanctifies you.
472
00:26:25,035 --> 00:26:28,753
May your rest be this day in peace
473
00:26:28,755 --> 00:26:31,913
and your dwelling place in the
Paradise of God.
474
00:26:31,915 --> 00:26:33,275
WHISPERS: Amen.
475
00:26:44,435 --> 00:26:46,315
WHISPERS: Is there anything I can
do?
476
00:26:48,755 --> 00:26:49,995
Open the window.
477
00:26:51,555 --> 00:26:53,075
Let his soul out.
478
00:26:59,555 --> 00:27:02,393
Mrs Buckle, what plans has the
council
479
00:27:02,395 --> 00:27:04,953
to ensure that the order of
St Raymond Nonnatus
480
00:27:04,955 --> 00:27:08,393
remains at the heart of midwifery
and nursing in this area?
481
00:27:08,395 --> 00:27:12,033
The council makes a significant
contribution to health care
482
00:27:12,035 --> 00:27:13,633
right across Tower Hamlets.
483
00:27:13,635 --> 00:27:18,433
My understanding is that there are
no plans whatever
484
00:27:18,435 --> 00:27:21,553
to change the funds already
allocated.
485
00:27:21,555 --> 00:27:24,993
But, in the centenary year of the
Order's arrival in the area,
486
00:27:24,995 --> 00:27:28,313
is Lord Stonham even aware of the
extent to which a vital service
487
00:27:28,315 --> 00:27:32,313
has to rely on religious charity and
private donations?
488
00:27:32,315 --> 00:27:37,073
I can certainly ensure that it is
brought to his attention.
489
00:27:37,075 --> 00:27:42,953
No-one's higher up in the nun's fan
club than me, Mrs Buckle.
490
00:27:42,955 --> 00:27:45,153
I've had five kids with them -
491
00:27:45,155 --> 00:27:48,595
four in my own bed and one in the
air raid shelter.
492
00:27:50,715 --> 00:27:53,113
They are the best of the East End.
493
00:27:53,115 --> 00:27:54,433
CROWD: Hear, hear!
494
00:27:54,435 --> 00:27:57,753
And what I want to know is, what
are you going to do about the worst?
495
00:27:57,755 --> 00:28:00,113
Well, I think you're going to need
to define
496
00:28:00,115 --> 00:28:01,753
what you mean by "the worst",
497
00:28:01,755 --> 00:28:05,673
if I'm going to answer that question
in a satisfactory manner.
498
00:28:05,675 --> 00:28:10,833
I mean cars all over the bombsites,
with God knows who living in them,
499
00:28:10,835 --> 00:28:13,753
people keeping goats in their back
yards
500
00:28:13,755 --> 00:28:16,433
and meths drinkers in every doorway.
501
00:28:16,435 --> 00:28:20,433
One cannot be oblivious to the
presence of unsavoury elements
502
00:28:20,435 --> 00:28:22,233
throughout the borough,
503
00:28:22,235 --> 00:28:25,833
which appears to be the direct
result of the chaos
504
00:28:25,835 --> 00:28:28,073
caused by the housing programme.
505
00:28:28,075 --> 00:28:32,753
Will you be asking Lord Stonham how
this can be remedied?
506
00:28:32,755 --> 00:28:36,593
We all have grave concerns about
housing, Miss Higgins.
507
00:28:36,595 --> 00:28:41,073
I have grave concerns about people
using my stairwell as a khazi.
508
00:28:41,075 --> 00:28:43,153
CROWD MURMURS IN AGREEMENT
509
00:28:43,155 --> 00:28:46,713
Your concerns have been noted and
will be passed on,
510
00:28:46,715 --> 00:28:50,913
when the deputation visits the House
of Commons.
511
00:28:50,915 --> 00:28:53,393
My mum thinks you should've kept
me in longer.
512
00:28:53,395 --> 00:28:55,193
You're doing very nicely.
513
00:28:55,195 --> 00:28:58,273
If this were a test at school, you'd
be top of the form.
514
00:28:58,275 --> 00:28:59,715
That would be a first.
515
00:29:01,915 --> 00:29:04,673
Can I do classes in what to expect?
516
00:29:04,675 --> 00:29:06,793
I feel like I've got to make up for
lost time.
517
00:29:06,795 --> 00:29:09,753
The only thing you've got to do is
stop berating yourself.
518
00:29:09,755 --> 00:29:11,913
There's no harm done.
519
00:29:11,915 --> 00:29:14,233
And you can't turn back the clock.
520
00:29:14,235 --> 00:29:17,553
You don't understand. I've got to be
fantastic at this.
521
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:19,953
Like I've always had to be fantastic
at everything.
522
00:29:19,955 --> 00:29:21,873
Why do you think that?
523
00:29:21,875 --> 00:29:24,593
Because my dad ran out on me after
I was born.
524
00:29:24,595 --> 00:29:27,113
The only thing he left behind was
the colour of my skin.
525
00:29:27,115 --> 00:29:29,073
He also left your mother.
526
00:29:29,075 --> 00:29:32,473
And she's given you enough
determination, love
527
00:29:32,475 --> 00:29:36,635
and willpower to make up for any
deficit of his.
528
00:29:37,675 --> 00:29:39,673
Now...
529
00:29:39,675 --> 00:29:42,433
..I'll talk you through what to
expect, shall I?
530
00:29:42,435 --> 00:29:44,513
KNOCKING
531
00:29:44,515 --> 00:29:48,713
Mr Lewin, you're intruding upon
a professional consultation.
532
00:29:48,715 --> 00:29:51,793
I've actually come in search of a
professional consultation
533
00:29:51,795 --> 00:29:55,113
about residential nurseries for the
nipper. I beg your pardon?
534
00:29:55,115 --> 00:29:56,753
What's a residential nursery?
535
00:29:56,755 --> 00:30:01,073
A select, fee-paying facility, where
babies can reside all year round.
536
00:30:01,075 --> 00:30:03,073
Now, we can pick up where you left
off.
537
00:30:03,075 --> 00:30:05,033
I've even got contacts at
Search For A Star.
538
00:30:05,035 --> 00:30:07,313
Out of this young lady's bedroom,
now!
539
00:30:07,315 --> 00:30:10,233
She may have decisions to make about
her future,
540
00:30:10,235 --> 00:30:14,313
but she also has a mind and opinions
of her own.
541
00:30:14,315 --> 00:30:17,475
I've been her manager for a year.
Do you think I don't know that?
542
00:30:19,835 --> 00:30:22,793
Julie, if we don't sort this out,
543
00:30:22,795 --> 00:30:24,915
none of this will ever come your way
again.
544
00:30:34,075 --> 00:30:35,793
Jeff, what are you doing here?
545
00:30:35,795 --> 00:30:37,033
Well, what do you think?
546
00:30:37,035 --> 00:30:39,953
As soon as you told me, I couldn't
get to the boat train fast enough.
547
00:30:39,955 --> 00:30:42,353
I didn't even change out of my
uniform.
548
00:30:42,355 --> 00:30:44,473
Oh, have a heart, Thelma.
549
00:30:44,475 --> 00:30:45,715
Let me in.
550
00:30:47,635 --> 00:30:49,873
Jeff, why aren't you in Germany?
551
00:30:49,875 --> 00:30:50,915
Because of this.
552
00:30:54,795 --> 00:30:56,553
Is she having it now?
553
00:30:56,555 --> 00:30:59,513
NURSE CRANE: No, although I can't
vouch for how the day will unfold,
554
00:30:59,515 --> 00:31:01,635
if we are subject to any more drama.
555
00:31:04,555 --> 00:31:06,433
I brought Lucille's lacquer.
556
00:31:06,435 --> 00:31:10,393
You can immobilise Big Ben with what
she's sprayed on her barnet already.
557
00:31:10,395 --> 00:31:11,513
It's a windy day
558
00:31:11,515 --> 00:31:13,993
and we're having our photograph
taken with Lord Stonham.
559
00:31:13,995 --> 00:31:16,113
Have you got the French chalk?
560
00:31:16,115 --> 00:31:17,433
Where's the kid gloves?
561
00:31:17,435 --> 00:31:19,993
On the kitchen table. The mark is on
the thumb.
562
00:31:19,995 --> 00:31:23,433
Just pretend you're spraying a car.
563
00:31:23,435 --> 00:31:25,753
You have to stay calm, Mrs Buckle.
564
00:31:25,755 --> 00:31:27,353
You're looking elegant and
dignified
565
00:31:27,355 --> 00:31:29,473
but it's not your appearance that
matters today,
566
00:31:29,475 --> 00:31:31,113
it's about what you are going to
say.
567
00:31:31,115 --> 00:31:33,593
That's exactly why the backs of my
knees have turned to water.
568
00:31:33,595 --> 00:31:35,513
Why, when all you have to do is tell
the truth
569
00:31:35,515 --> 00:31:38,233
and ask the questions that matters
on behalf of the people you love?
570
00:31:38,235 --> 00:31:40,353
You make it sound so easy, Cyril.
571
00:31:40,355 --> 00:31:44,353
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy,
but you know...
572
00:31:44,355 --> 00:31:47,955
..it can be quite simple, if you
just speak from your heart.
573
00:31:55,795 --> 00:31:57,073
Garnets?
574
00:31:57,075 --> 00:31:59,433
They're your birthstone, if you're
born in January.
575
00:31:59,435 --> 00:32:02,273
I was going to get you a diamond but
that's the birthstone for April
576
00:32:02,275 --> 00:32:04,713
and I thought it might be unlucky.
577
00:32:04,715 --> 00:32:07,633
I've applied for a special licence.
578
00:32:07,635 --> 00:32:09,793
It only takes a few days.
579
00:32:09,795 --> 00:32:11,313
Please...
580
00:32:11,315 --> 00:32:13,113
..please, say yes.
581
00:32:13,115 --> 00:32:16,633
At least it'll make having gone AWOL
worthwhile. AWOL?
582
00:32:16,635 --> 00:32:18,873
You've come here absent without
leave?
583
00:32:18,875 --> 00:32:20,153
What did your mum say?
584
00:32:20,155 --> 00:32:23,953
She thinks they've let me home on
compassionate grounds.
585
00:32:23,955 --> 00:32:25,075
I panicked.
586
00:32:27,115 --> 00:32:29,033
Jeff...
587
00:32:29,035 --> 00:32:31,633
..what if I say yes and I make you
miserable?
588
00:32:31,635 --> 00:32:34,913
Well, I keep telling myself how much
more miserable I'd be,
589
00:32:34,915 --> 00:32:39,793
knowing our little titch was getting
name called for being a bastard.
590
00:32:39,795 --> 00:32:43,035
You had it just as bad as me, didn't
you, Jeff? Almost.
591
00:32:47,195 --> 00:32:49,395
Let me be a man who does the decent
thing.
592
00:33:02,395 --> 00:33:06,035
Would the delegation from Tower
Hamlets please come with me?
593
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:13,073
Greetings.
594
00:33:13,075 --> 00:33:16,075
I imagine you've come to confer with
Sister Julienne.
595
00:33:27,035 --> 00:33:28,433
I approve of all of it.
596
00:33:28,435 --> 00:33:29,953
Even the balloons?
597
00:33:29,955 --> 00:33:33,393
Especially the balloons. So much of
our work has been about children,
598
00:33:33,395 --> 00:33:36,393
why not do something that will make
them smile?
599
00:33:36,395 --> 00:33:38,475
Sister Hilda, would you like to see
this?
600
00:33:58,555 --> 00:34:00,753
This all seems most...
601
00:34:00,755 --> 00:34:02,235
..acceptable.
602
00:34:03,555 --> 00:34:07,953
But what, may I ask, is item 10 -
Surprise?
603
00:34:07,955 --> 00:34:10,033
I can't say.
604
00:34:10,035 --> 00:34:13,273
All of this is in the manner of a
gift to you.
605
00:34:13,275 --> 00:34:15,313
To the whole Order.
606
00:34:15,315 --> 00:34:19,995
And it doesn't seem right to unwrap
every element at once.
607
00:34:21,435 --> 00:34:23,113
DOOR OPENS
608
00:34:23,115 --> 00:34:25,673
Violet, you're home!
609
00:34:25,675 --> 00:34:29,193
The minister gave us a full 40
minutes of his time.
610
00:34:29,195 --> 00:34:30,473
That's good, isn't it?
611
00:34:30,475 --> 00:34:33,913
We discussed play streets,
playgrounds, unlicensed dogs,
612
00:34:33,915 --> 00:34:36,073
and what's going on at Tilbury
Docks.
613
00:34:36,075 --> 00:34:38,593
Well, no-one likes the sound of
those containers coming in.
614
00:34:38,595 --> 00:34:41,273
And then, finally, we looked at a
plan of action
615
00:34:41,275 --> 00:34:43,313
against the meths drinkers.
616
00:34:43,315 --> 00:34:46,833
Councillor Finney persuaded the
minister that what we really need
617
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:51,553
is to increase police powers of
arrest and dispersal.
618
00:34:51,555 --> 00:34:53,833
All that's going to do is move them
on
619
00:34:53,835 --> 00:34:56,353
and make them somebody else's
problem.
620
00:34:56,355 --> 00:34:58,835
Oh, half the time, that's what
politics is, Fred.
621
00:35:06,715 --> 00:35:09,313
Good afternoon, sir. May I be of
assistance.
622
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:10,993
Um... Yeah.
623
00:35:10,995 --> 00:35:14,273
There's a...there's a nurse, who
works here, name of Nancy.
624
00:35:14,275 --> 00:35:17,633
You can't have him in here. It's
insanitary!
625
00:35:17,635 --> 00:35:20,673
I'm afraid Nurse Corrigan is not on
the premises today.
626
00:35:20,675 --> 00:35:25,593
I will confer with Dr Turner, if you
would like to wait outside.
627
00:35:25,595 --> 00:35:29,153
No, it...it's not bad enough for a
doctor.
628
00:35:29,155 --> 00:35:31,955
No, I'm...I'm happy with the nurse.
629
00:35:41,195 --> 00:35:43,113
Sorry for dragging you out, Fred.
630
00:35:43,115 --> 00:35:45,913
Nothing much scares me, but on my
own,
631
00:35:45,915 --> 00:35:49,953
I can't vouch for Nurse Corrigan's
safety in this set-up after dark.
632
00:35:49,955 --> 00:35:52,875
And I suspect she's the only one
this man will trust.
633
00:35:54,195 --> 00:35:56,953
What's this? Eucalyptus ointment.
634
00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:59,513
Rub it underneath your nose.
635
00:35:59,515 --> 00:36:02,833
It's a trick I learned years ago,
going into dosshouses.
636
00:36:02,835 --> 00:36:06,033
What is it about drinking meths that
makes them like this, Doc?
637
00:36:06,035 --> 00:36:08,073
If you mean the smell,
638
00:36:08,075 --> 00:36:12,033
the raw alcohol is rotting their
flesh from the inside out.
639
00:36:12,035 --> 00:36:16,313
Some of them will have gastritis
and soil themselves constantly,
640
00:36:16,315 --> 00:36:19,433
and their legs are probably covered
in ulcers.
641
00:36:19,435 --> 00:36:21,033
Poor sods.
642
00:36:21,035 --> 00:36:24,433
If you mean why are they confused
and incoherent,
643
00:36:24,435 --> 00:36:27,393
it's because the alcohol is damaging
their brains,
644
00:36:27,395 --> 00:36:29,513
possibly even blinding them.
645
00:36:29,515 --> 00:36:32,793
Why is there nowhere for these
people to go and get treatment?
646
00:36:32,795 --> 00:36:36,633
There is no treatment and they
wouldn't go.
647
00:36:36,635 --> 00:36:38,873
They cling to each other
648
00:36:38,875 --> 00:36:42,555
and the few small things that still
feel familiar.
649
00:36:44,035 --> 00:36:46,753
Everything beyond that is the void.
650
00:36:46,755 --> 00:36:50,673
And in the one place they can bear
to be...
651
00:36:50,675 --> 00:36:52,235
..nobody even wants them.
652
00:36:55,915 --> 00:36:58,073
I got the licence. I got the dress.
653
00:36:58,075 --> 00:36:59,593
Me and Mum nipped up to Venus Modes
654
00:36:59,595 --> 00:37:01,633
and bought a little white number off
the peg.
655
00:37:01,635 --> 00:37:04,233
Hat to match, and all.
Oh, can I see it?
656
00:37:04,235 --> 00:37:05,713
No.
657
00:37:05,715 --> 00:37:08,313
It's like diamonds when you're born
in January -
658
00:37:08,315 --> 00:37:09,675
unlucky.
659
00:37:10,995 --> 00:37:13,475
I hope you aren't planning on
wearing that shirt.
660
00:37:26,915 --> 00:37:28,315
Bernard?
661
00:37:34,795 --> 00:37:37,233
It's Nancy, the nurse.
662
00:37:37,235 --> 00:37:40,113
You asked for me at the surgery but
I wasn't there.
663
00:37:40,115 --> 00:37:41,353
I've brought the doctor.
664
00:37:41,355 --> 00:37:43,193
I don't need the doctor.
665
00:37:43,195 --> 00:37:44,593
Now, I reckon you do.
666
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:49,593
But I'm just junior, he knows more
than me, which isn't difficult.
667
00:37:49,595 --> 00:37:53,433
If you'd let the nurse just ease
your shoe off, have a quick look,
668
00:37:53,435 --> 00:37:55,913
I won't interfere, unless it's
necessary.
669
00:37:55,915 --> 00:38:00,273
I've heard of a thing called
antibions.
670
00:38:00,275 --> 00:38:01,913
Antibiotics?
671
00:38:01,915 --> 00:38:03,753
Mm, we've tonnes of them.
672
00:38:03,755 --> 00:38:06,793
Pills, lotions, liquid, solid.
673
00:38:06,795 --> 00:38:09,673
Probably even gas. Just her.
674
00:38:09,675 --> 00:38:10,955
Right.
675
00:38:12,635 --> 00:38:15,153
Let's ease this off, then.
676
00:38:15,155 --> 00:38:18,995
My mother, right, she used to be a
Lady's maid.
677
00:38:20,115 --> 00:38:22,953
The family, who she worked for,
678
00:38:22,955 --> 00:38:27,395
they used to have their shoes
handmade in Piccadilly.
679
00:38:38,515 --> 00:38:42,355
His...his foot's come off with the
shoe.
680
00:38:51,835 --> 00:38:53,955
I'm...I'm sorry, Bernard.
681
00:38:55,515 --> 00:38:57,353
I'm sorry.
682
00:38:57,355 --> 00:38:59,393
I didn't feel a thing.
683
00:38:59,395 --> 00:39:01,393
You wouldn't.
684
00:39:01,395 --> 00:39:02,915
You've got gangrene.
685
00:39:24,275 --> 00:39:26,553
What will they do at the hospital?
686
00:39:26,555 --> 00:39:28,953
Amputate...
687
00:39:28,955 --> 00:39:31,075
..somewhere below the knee, if he's
lucky.
688
00:39:32,835 --> 00:39:35,233
If he'd led a different sort of
life,
689
00:39:35,235 --> 00:39:39,793
he'd stand a decent chance of being
fitted with an artificial leg.
690
00:39:39,795 --> 00:39:41,913
That's not going to happen,
691
00:39:41,915 --> 00:39:45,753
because of the thing that got him in
this state in the first place.
692
00:39:45,755 --> 00:39:47,873
The drink?
693
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:49,513
The drink...
694
00:39:49,515 --> 00:39:51,555
..and everything that made him
drink.
695
00:39:53,275 --> 00:39:56,633
Smoking can cause arteriosclerosis.
696
00:39:56,635 --> 00:39:59,195
A bad diet can cause diabetes.
697
00:40:00,715 --> 00:40:04,515
Both can lead to loss of circulation
and dry gangrene.
698
00:40:06,755 --> 00:40:09,153
But only catastrophic self-neglect
699
00:40:09,155 --> 00:40:12,193
can result in a sight like we've
just seen.
700
00:40:12,195 --> 00:40:13,995
It didn't even seem to hurt him.
701
00:40:15,315 --> 00:40:17,155
It was as though he hardly cared.
702
00:40:18,555 --> 00:40:21,315
And that is the most painful thing
we ever see.
703
00:40:25,675 --> 00:40:28,033
I can't stop asking myself.
704
00:40:28,035 --> 00:40:32,553
I mean, why is it that I bend over
backwards for some people
705
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:34,473
and not for others?
706
00:40:34,475 --> 00:40:38,233
And all for the sake of what,
a well-kept street?
707
00:40:38,235 --> 00:40:40,793
I can't say I'm keen on driving
those poor men
708
00:40:40,795 --> 00:40:42,233
as far away as possible.
709
00:40:42,235 --> 00:40:44,033
It's not about what I want, is it?
710
00:40:44,035 --> 00:40:46,313
It's about what my constituents
want.
711
00:40:46,315 --> 00:40:48,913
I mean, I am in the service of
others,
712
00:40:48,915 --> 00:40:52,793
however unfortunate that may be in
this instance.
713
00:40:52,795 --> 00:40:54,673
What about Bernard?
714
00:40:54,675 --> 00:40:56,755
Isn't he your constituent, too?
715
00:41:00,755 --> 00:41:02,035
Knock, knock.
716
00:41:03,435 --> 00:41:06,513
Bernard, it's Dr Turner.
717
00:41:06,515 --> 00:41:08,353
We met last night.
718
00:41:08,355 --> 00:41:09,993
Do you work here?
719
00:41:09,995 --> 00:41:11,633
No, but...
720
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:13,713
..I'm good at sneaking in.
721
00:41:13,715 --> 00:41:17,113
And there is a lady, who wanted to
visit you.
722
00:41:17,115 --> 00:41:18,555
Is it Nancy?
723
00:41:20,075 --> 00:41:22,193
I'm Councillor Buckle.
724
00:41:22,195 --> 00:41:23,953
Violet.
725
00:41:23,955 --> 00:41:26,633
I'm so sorry for your troubles.
726
00:41:26,635 --> 00:41:29,553
I...I brought you a small parcel of
essentials
727
00:41:29,555 --> 00:41:32,713
from the
Pensioners' Benevolent Society.
728
00:41:32,715 --> 00:41:34,513
Oh, I don't get a pension.
729
00:41:34,515 --> 00:41:36,673
I lost me cards.
730
00:41:36,675 --> 00:41:38,753
Is there something wrong with me
731
00:41:38,755 --> 00:41:42,473
cos I keep thinking I ought to want
to drink?
732
00:41:42,475 --> 00:41:46,353
They're giving you medication to
take the edge off any cravings.
733
00:41:46,355 --> 00:41:49,233
Yeah, they took me leg off too,
didn't they?
734
00:41:49,235 --> 00:41:50,793
Not all of it.
735
00:41:50,795 --> 00:41:55,033
According to the staff nurse, you've
still got your knee joint.
736
00:41:55,035 --> 00:41:56,795
I always wanted to disappear.
737
00:41:58,115 --> 00:42:00,433
Looks like I'm doing it bit by bit.
738
00:42:00,435 --> 00:42:02,035
HE LAUGHS
739
00:42:08,915 --> 00:42:11,073
This is not something I get to say
every day,
740
00:42:11,075 --> 00:42:13,593
but we have a bride in labour.
741
00:42:13,595 --> 00:42:16,273
Events have taken something of a
turn.
742
00:42:16,275 --> 00:42:20,993
And are we to book the lady in
question in as Miss Haig or Mrs...?
743
00:42:20,995 --> 00:42:24,393
..Lilly. My client is in fact a
married woman, now.
744
00:42:24,395 --> 00:42:27,313
We told the registrar to keep
proceedings brief.
745
00:42:27,315 --> 00:42:30,473
I love you, Julie.
746
00:42:30,475 --> 00:42:32,395
COUGHING
747
00:42:39,635 --> 00:42:42,913
They won't let me smoke. It's making
me cough.
748
00:42:42,915 --> 00:42:45,033
Pneumonia's making you cough.
749
00:42:45,035 --> 00:42:47,713
Is it? Mm, it's in your notes.
750
00:42:47,715 --> 00:42:50,113
I took a shufty at them.
751
00:42:50,115 --> 00:42:54,633
Is pneumonia when your lungs fill up
with water?
752
00:42:54,635 --> 00:42:58,033
Well, it's an acute lower
respiratory infection,
753
00:42:58,035 --> 00:43:00,513
involving the alveoli.
754
00:43:00,515 --> 00:43:02,953
But, yeah, it comes to the same
thing.
755
00:43:02,955 --> 00:43:06,153
Ah, I can go along with that.
756
00:43:06,155 --> 00:43:08,593
They're giving you medicine for it.
757
00:43:08,595 --> 00:43:10,753
My mother drowned...
758
00:43:10,755 --> 00:43:12,793
..in a canal.
759
00:43:12,795 --> 00:43:14,473
She left her handbag on the side
760
00:43:14,475 --> 00:43:17,993
and there were three ha'pence in her
purse.
761
00:43:17,995 --> 00:43:21,273
They gave me the coins to take to
the industrial school
762
00:43:21,275 --> 00:43:24,155
but the matron robbed them...
763
00:43:25,155 --> 00:43:27,633
..and I've been grubbing about in
the dirt,
764
00:43:27,635 --> 00:43:29,555
looking for pennies ever since.
765
00:43:32,275 --> 00:43:34,155
I lost my mother when I was a child.
766
00:43:36,555 --> 00:43:39,233
I'm a mother myself, now.
767
00:43:39,235 --> 00:43:41,555
Does it make things better?
768
00:43:45,435 --> 00:43:46,515
Yeah.
769
00:43:50,835 --> 00:43:52,835
PIANO PLAYS
770
00:43:55,275 --> 00:43:59,273
I'm sorry, Miss Higgins, but if this
is to be set to "Repton",
771
00:43:59,275 --> 00:44:02,193
I don't think that's the appropriate
key.
772
00:44:02,195 --> 00:44:05,313
It's the key I sang it in, when I
was writing the verse.
773
00:44:05,315 --> 00:44:08,673
Miss Higgins, the words are your
domain.
774
00:44:08,675 --> 00:44:10,355
The music is mine.
775
00:44:15,315 --> 00:44:16,955
PIANO PLAYS
776
00:44:27,315 --> 00:44:30,673
I joined the Navy when I was 14.
777
00:44:30,675 --> 00:44:33,313
That didn't make it better.
778
00:44:33,315 --> 00:44:36,393
I started with the booze at 16.
779
00:44:36,395 --> 00:44:38,873
That didn't make it better, either.
780
00:44:38,875 --> 00:44:41,193
You certainly gave it enough of a
chance.
781
00:44:41,195 --> 00:44:42,715
The war made it worse.
782
00:44:44,435 --> 00:44:49,073
Living a life at sea in peacetime
made it worse.
783
00:44:49,075 --> 00:44:53,433
Every year, every day, I needed
something stronger...
784
00:44:53,435 --> 00:44:54,795
..and I just tramped about.
785
00:44:56,395 --> 00:44:58,313
Went all over -
786
00:44:58,315 --> 00:45:03,553
Land's End to John O'Groats, like a
ship avoiding harbour.
787
00:45:03,555 --> 00:45:05,433
And then...
788
00:45:05,435 --> 00:45:07,073
..in the end...
789
00:45:07,075 --> 00:45:08,593
..I came home.
790
00:45:08,595 --> 00:45:10,673
Home to Poplar.
791
00:45:10,675 --> 00:45:13,513
Where I lived with my mother.
792
00:45:13,515 --> 00:45:16,633
It was like I could see her
footprints on the pavement
793
00:45:16,635 --> 00:45:18,353
and hear her voice.
794
00:45:18,355 --> 00:45:21,273
IN IRISH ACCENT: "Let's see if you
like butter."
795
00:45:21,275 --> 00:45:24,553
And the tickle of the flower
underneath me chin.
796
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:26,715
"Yes...yes, you do."
797
00:45:30,435 --> 00:45:34,235
One way or another, I've been trying
to drown myself for 40 years.
798
00:45:36,075 --> 00:45:39,273
Now, I have the pneumonia...
799
00:45:39,275 --> 00:45:40,475
..I can stop.
800
00:45:50,275 --> 00:45:53,033
I'm sorry about the smell of dog
dirt.
801
00:45:53,035 --> 00:45:56,633
I'm trying not to spray it around
with the brush.
802
00:45:56,635 --> 00:45:59,955
After the stenches I've encountered
in the last few days, it's nothing.
803
00:46:04,995 --> 00:46:07,193
How do you do it?
804
00:46:07,195 --> 00:46:08,473
Do what?
805
00:46:08,475 --> 00:46:09,953
This job.
806
00:46:09,955 --> 00:46:12,633
Seeing people so...
807
00:46:12,635 --> 00:46:15,553
..broken and in so much want?
808
00:46:15,555 --> 00:46:18,673
You have to sidestep want most of
the time.
809
00:46:18,675 --> 00:46:22,993
Just concentrate on providing what
they need and that's...
810
00:46:22,995 --> 00:46:26,115
..just love, most of the time.
811
00:46:35,555 --> 00:46:38,073
I just want it to be all right,
Nurse.
812
00:46:38,075 --> 00:46:41,713
Not too weak or too small or too
poorly.
813
00:46:41,715 --> 00:46:43,073
Come on, precious.
814
00:46:43,075 --> 00:46:45,913
You're using up all your strength
with all this crying.
815
00:46:45,915 --> 00:46:48,073
And I don't want any more
contractions.
816
00:46:48,075 --> 00:46:50,993
Nobody said how much they were going
to hurt!
817
00:46:50,995 --> 00:46:54,673
Julie, if we can get you nice and
calm,
818
00:46:54,675 --> 00:46:57,313
we will have a try with the gas and
air with the next one,
819
00:46:57,315 --> 00:46:59,353
and I promise that will really help.
820
00:46:59,355 --> 00:47:03,355
But first, let me get you a nice,
cool cloth to bathe those eyes.
821
00:47:05,955 --> 00:47:10,553
No wonder she's in no frame of mind
for this, with all their fretting.
822
00:47:10,555 --> 00:47:14,513
And she's had no time whatsoever
to prepare.
823
00:47:14,515 --> 00:47:15,793
I'm scared.
824
00:47:15,795 --> 00:47:18,673
Everybody is scared of things
they've never done before
825
00:47:18,675 --> 00:47:20,513
but that's where we come in.
826
00:47:20,515 --> 00:47:23,713
We've done this time and time again,
haven't we, Nurse Crane?
827
00:47:23,715 --> 00:47:25,353
I delivered my first baby
828
00:47:25,355 --> 00:47:28,315
before Shirley Temple was top of the
hit parade.
829
00:47:29,635 --> 00:47:31,835
SHE SHRIEKS
830
00:47:35,315 --> 00:47:37,153
Here we go, precious.
831
00:47:37,155 --> 00:47:40,233
You do exactly as I tell you, and I
promise,
832
00:47:40,235 --> 00:47:42,435
the difference will be like night
from day.
833
00:47:44,755 --> 00:47:46,555
JULIE SCREAMS
834
00:47:50,515 --> 00:47:55,273
I brought us all some pie and mash
and a bottle of champagne for later.
835
00:47:55,275 --> 00:47:56,913
Vintage.
836
00:47:56,915 --> 00:47:59,513
I just hope we've got something to
celebrate.
837
00:47:59,515 --> 00:48:01,075
It's coming too early, Mo.
838
00:48:02,275 --> 00:48:07,475
I've never known a girl push
so strongly and with such control.
839
00:48:08,515 --> 00:48:11,353
Every time you push, I can see a bit
more of the head.
840
00:48:11,355 --> 00:48:13,475
You're doing so well, lass.
841
00:48:20,475 --> 00:48:21,995
And the head is with us.
842
00:48:27,315 --> 00:48:28,995
See how well you've done?
843
00:48:31,195 --> 00:48:35,073
The baby's head's starting to turn
now, just one last push, Julie.
844
00:48:35,075 --> 00:48:37,115
Give it all the strength you've got.
845
00:48:38,635 --> 00:48:39,993
SHE SHRIEKS
846
00:48:39,995 --> 00:48:41,353
BABY CRIES
847
00:48:41,355 --> 00:48:42,635
Hello.
848
00:48:53,155 --> 00:48:57,273
May I introduce you to your
daughter?
849
00:48:57,275 --> 00:48:59,033
BABY CRIES
850
00:48:59,035 --> 00:49:00,833
She's beautiful.
851
00:49:00,835 --> 00:49:02,993
And that was...that was...
852
00:49:02,995 --> 00:49:04,715
How about fantastic?
853
00:49:08,555 --> 00:49:10,835
So many men are psychologically
damaged.
854
00:49:12,555 --> 00:49:14,233
Loss or...
855
00:49:14,235 --> 00:49:15,275
..poverty.
856
00:49:17,195 --> 00:49:19,195
Always, always war.
857
00:49:21,955 --> 00:49:24,955
When I got back from Italy, I was
encouraged to talk.
858
00:49:26,755 --> 00:49:28,515
Maybe I didn't talk enough.
859
00:49:30,595 --> 00:49:34,673
Maybe I could've talked more about
talking...
860
00:49:34,675 --> 00:49:36,355
..but I was healed.
861
00:49:39,435 --> 00:49:41,755
People like Bernard never get that
chance.
862
00:49:44,795 --> 00:49:48,313
We are all the things that have
happened to us, aren't we?
863
00:49:48,315 --> 00:49:50,673
I keep thinking about that all the
time,
864
00:49:50,675 --> 00:49:53,913
while I've been organising the
centenary.
865
00:49:53,915 --> 00:49:56,833
All the things I was part of...
866
00:49:56,835 --> 00:49:59,633
..and how those things became a part
of me.
867
00:49:59,635 --> 00:50:01,675
We've been so lucky, haven't we?
868
00:50:08,995 --> 00:50:11,913
One for posterity, in case the press
ever ask.
869
00:50:11,915 --> 00:50:13,233
What are you going to call her?
870
00:50:13,235 --> 00:50:15,073
Nicola Samantha.
871
00:50:15,075 --> 00:50:16,115
I love it.
872
00:50:24,755 --> 00:50:26,113
Is it all right to come in?
873
00:50:26,115 --> 00:50:28,315
Please, do. There's no-one we can
send for.
874
00:50:30,555 --> 00:50:32,513
Mother...
875
00:50:32,515 --> 00:50:35,393
..is that you? You're out of luck,
love.
876
00:50:35,395 --> 00:50:37,595
But I brought you some flowers.
877
00:50:42,195 --> 00:50:44,913
I've been crawling all over the
bombsites with a nun,
878
00:50:44,915 --> 00:50:46,633
looking for these.
879
00:50:46,635 --> 00:50:47,915
I hope you're grateful.
880
00:50:53,315 --> 00:50:55,393
It's not right, is it, Nurse Crane?
881
00:50:55,395 --> 00:50:58,393
It's a tiny bit on the high side.
882
00:50:58,395 --> 00:51:01,753
Little lass might have picked up
a mild infection.
883
00:51:01,755 --> 00:51:02,993
What will you do?
884
00:51:02,995 --> 00:51:04,913
Will you send her to hospital?
885
00:51:04,915 --> 00:51:08,955
I'm going to telephone Dr Turner
and we'll see what he advises.
886
00:51:18,675 --> 00:51:20,635
I can see it glowing against your
skin.
887
00:51:22,275 --> 00:51:26,313
Brightest gold you ever saw, like a
coin...
888
00:51:26,315 --> 00:51:27,635
..or a Fairy Flag.
889
00:51:33,395 --> 00:51:35,235
WHISPERS: Shall we see who likes
butter?
890
00:51:38,915 --> 00:51:42,193
Oh, you do, Bernard.
891
00:51:42,195 --> 00:51:43,395
You do.
892
00:51:55,475 --> 00:51:57,313
I don't want her to go.
893
00:51:57,315 --> 00:51:59,273
I'm her mother.
894
00:51:59,275 --> 00:52:01,753
And you're a very good one,
895
00:52:01,755 --> 00:52:04,795
which is why you know you have to
let her get the best of care.
896
00:52:14,875 --> 00:52:17,033
Will you leave the buttercups with
him?
897
00:52:17,035 --> 00:52:18,555
He loved yellow things.
898
00:52:41,595 --> 00:52:44,873
I'm the only person who's crying
for him in the whole world.
899
00:52:44,875 --> 00:52:46,115
No, you aren't.
900
00:52:49,635 --> 00:52:52,393
These readings are going up and up,
Julie.
901
00:52:52,395 --> 00:52:55,593
I don't want to have to ask Doctor
for a sedative.
902
00:52:55,595 --> 00:52:59,313
Baby will be back in your arms in a
day or two, I'm sure.
903
00:52:59,315 --> 00:53:01,433
And what's going to happen, then?
904
00:53:01,435 --> 00:53:04,913
I hand her over to my mum, put on my
glad rags,
905
00:53:04,915 --> 00:53:06,993
paint my face and go out singing?
906
00:53:06,995 --> 00:53:10,513
You're under contract to Mr Lewin
and to the record company.
907
00:53:10,515 --> 00:53:13,475
My contract is with my daughter.
908
00:53:15,835 --> 00:53:18,193
Sincere apologies for any
disturbance,
909
00:53:18,195 --> 00:53:20,395
but two gentlemen have called for
Mr Lilly.
910
00:53:26,915 --> 00:53:33,313
Something happened to my heart
the day that I met you
911
00:53:33,315 --> 00:53:38,673
Something that I never felt before
912
00:53:38,675 --> 00:53:43,833
You are always on my mind no
matter what I do
913
00:53:43,835 --> 00:53:48,593
And every day, it seems I want
you more
914
00:53:48,595 --> 00:53:54,153
My love is warmer than the warmest
sunshine, softer than a sigh
915
00:53:54,155 --> 00:54:01,033
My love is deeper than the deepest
ocean, wider than the sky
916
00:54:01,035 --> 00:54:04,673
My love is brighter than the
brightest star
917
00:54:04,675 --> 00:54:06,793
That shines every night above
918
00:54:06,795 --> 00:54:13,595
And there is nothing in this world
that can ever change my love.
919
00:54:21,195 --> 00:54:23,673
Do the hospital require any
assistance
920
00:54:23,675 --> 00:54:26,553
with the gentleman's funeral
arrangements, Dr Turner?
921
00:54:26,555 --> 00:54:30,273
There are age-old routines for
burial in a council grave.
922
00:54:30,275 --> 00:54:31,833
They do it all the time.
923
00:54:31,835 --> 00:54:35,273
I said they could use my surname,
on the forms.
924
00:54:35,275 --> 00:54:37,593
Bernard Corrigan.
925
00:54:37,595 --> 00:54:39,953
If anyone looks at the cemetery
records,
926
00:54:39,955 --> 00:54:42,793
they'll know he belonged to someone.
927
00:54:42,795 --> 00:54:45,633
Well, he belonged here. He was born
in Poplar.
928
00:54:45,635 --> 00:54:47,953
Poplar should have taken better care
of him.
929
00:54:47,955 --> 00:54:49,913
We tried...
930
00:54:49,915 --> 00:54:52,513
..but we could all do better.
931
00:54:52,515 --> 00:54:54,673
And we will.
932
00:54:54,675 --> 00:54:59,433
Now, I know we have hostels for
treating men who have TB.
933
00:54:59,435 --> 00:55:02,433
We need similar facilities for
treating people,
934
00:55:02,435 --> 00:55:04,513
who suffer from alcohol addiction.
935
00:55:04,515 --> 00:55:06,553
Somewhere where they can be helped.
936
00:55:06,555 --> 00:55:10,033
Somewhere where they can be treated
like human beings.
937
00:55:10,035 --> 00:55:11,875
Would the council fund that?
938
00:55:13,595 --> 00:55:15,633
Well, it will take time...
939
00:55:15,635 --> 00:55:17,913
..but I will try.
940
00:55:17,915 --> 00:55:19,395
We look after our own here.
941
00:55:22,035 --> 00:55:24,395
JULIE: I'm going to sing her so many
songs, Mum.
942
00:55:26,195 --> 00:55:28,673
I wanted more for you.
943
00:55:28,675 --> 00:55:30,873
You gave me everything I needed.
944
00:55:30,875 --> 00:55:33,435
And now, I'm going to do the same
for her.
945
00:55:35,715 --> 00:55:37,113
With respect, Mrs Turner,
946
00:55:37,115 --> 00:55:39,513
wouldn't it be more sensible to get
this into position
947
00:55:39,515 --> 00:55:41,073
once the rain had packed in?
948
00:55:41,075 --> 00:55:42,873
It's going to end up out of tune,
you know.
949
00:55:42,875 --> 00:55:45,993
The rain is not due to "pack in"
until early afternoon,
950
00:55:45,995 --> 00:55:48,553
exactly as the service commences.
951
00:55:48,555 --> 00:55:50,995
I'm also armed with a large
tarpaulin.
952
00:55:53,955 --> 00:55:55,393
TRIXIE: When we first started,
953
00:55:55,395 --> 00:55:57,513
this seemed like the most marvellous
idea.
954
00:55:57,515 --> 00:55:59,833
A canopy of massed summer flowers
955
00:55:59,835 --> 00:56:03,233
donated by well-wishers from the
community of Poplar.
956
00:56:03,235 --> 00:56:05,513
What we've ended up with is a sort
of...
957
00:56:05,515 --> 00:56:09,433
..chrysanthemum soup with privet
croutons.
958
00:56:09,435 --> 00:56:12,113
So, that's no good, then?
959
00:56:12,115 --> 00:56:16,153
Matthew, I'm Constance Spry-trained.
960
00:56:16,155 --> 00:56:18,273
Well, I'm glad I didn't know that
961
00:56:18,275 --> 00:56:20,515
when I sent you the Swiss cheese
plant.
962
00:56:24,075 --> 00:56:25,953
It wasn't...
963
00:56:25,955 --> 00:56:29,155
..right for me to send you actual
flower flowers, then.
964
00:56:31,235 --> 00:56:34,913
And it wasn't right for me to do
that for a long, long, time.
965
00:56:34,915 --> 00:56:36,873
No, when I...
966
00:56:36,875 --> 00:56:39,593
I...I never wanted that.
967
00:56:39,595 --> 00:56:41,993
And do you want that, now?
968
00:56:41,995 --> 00:56:44,835
I mean, would you allow that, now?
969
00:56:47,035 --> 00:56:51,633
Because, if you'd let me...
970
00:56:51,635 --> 00:56:54,713
..I would fill your arms with
flowers.
971
00:56:54,715 --> 00:56:58,753
Roses, lilacs, lilies...
972
00:56:58,755 --> 00:57:00,513
..and something red.
973
00:57:00,515 --> 00:57:02,753
Like, more roses.
974
00:57:02,755 --> 00:57:04,755
Red roses. Yeah, red roses.
975
00:57:07,435 --> 00:57:09,915
Because, I mean, everybody knows
what they mean.
976
00:57:11,635 --> 00:57:15,035
And I hope very much you know what I
mean, when I do this.
977
00:57:27,395 --> 00:57:33,033
Their heads were veiled,
their lives avowed.
978
00:57:33,035 --> 00:57:36,193
They came to serve the people
proud.
979
00:57:36,195 --> 00:57:41,153
The Nonnatus House centenary
celebrations took place
980
00:57:41,155 --> 00:57:43,713
in gently falling rain.
981
00:57:43,715 --> 00:57:46,993
The people, who loved it, stood
shoulder to shoulder
982
00:57:46,995 --> 00:57:49,073
in defiance of the elements,
983
00:57:49,075 --> 00:57:53,273
determined to carry on and
regardless.
984
00:57:53,275 --> 00:57:57,393
The weather could not have been more
perfect.
985
00:57:57,395 --> 00:58:01,433
Skies will always shift, seasons
with them.
986
00:58:01,435 --> 00:58:05,473
Days become years, years become
decades.
987
00:58:05,475 --> 00:58:09,593
Decades evolve into a century
and more.
988
00:58:09,595 --> 00:58:14,753
And all the while, our lives
entwine, and then, unspool,
989
00:58:14,755 --> 00:58:19,873
borne on the winds of time and aimed
we know not where.
990
00:58:19,875 --> 00:58:25,675
But we know where we come from and
where our hearts call home.
991
00:58:29,835 --> 00:58:31,793
May I give you a wee bit of advice?
992
00:58:31,795 --> 00:58:34,113
Please do. Polish up your dancing
shoes.
993
00:58:34,115 --> 00:58:36,473
Make her feel like she's the only
girl in the world.
994
00:58:36,475 --> 00:58:39,313
Well, how does Cyril feel about
that?
995
00:58:39,315 --> 00:58:41,993
I haven't told him yet.
996
00:58:41,995 --> 00:58:44,713
Get away from her. You're hurting
her!
997
00:58:44,715 --> 00:58:49,555
I prayed for the intervention of
angels and I have been answered.77161
