Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,978 --> 00:00:27,720
Everyone knows that birds migrate...
2
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:32,600
...but not which country they believe
to be their home -
3
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,559
the hard, hot, cloudless climate of
the south,
4
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:42,510
or the fragile, grey-white warmth
of our own climes?
5
00:00:42,511 --> 00:00:45,719
But perhaps the birds are simply lucky
6
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,410
they have the best of both worlds.
7
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:11,999
I spy with my little eye, something
beginning with L, Nancy.
8
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,199
Ladder?
9
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,559
These were the best of the bunch.
10
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,799
I thought if the hole was round the
back, the patients wouldn't see it.
11
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,719
You know perfectly well that that
is not acceptable, Nurse Corrigan.
12
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,799
Does anyone have a spare pair?
13
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,884
I always have a spare pair, as Nurse
Corrigan knows.
14
00:01:38,486 --> 00:01:39,686
Sister!
15
00:01:41,086 --> 00:01:42,995
What's the matter?
16
00:01:42,996 --> 00:01:44,605
I...
17
00:01:44,606 --> 00:01:47,045
I just feel so dreadfully...
18
00:01:47,046 --> 00:01:49,636
...dizzy, as though I might be sick.
19
00:01:49,637 --> 00:01:52,757
Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get
you home. You can lean on me.
20
00:01:53,836 --> 00:01:54,995
Oh!
21
00:01:54,996 --> 00:01:56,435
Oh, Miss Higgins,
22
00:01:56,436 --> 00:01:59,355
we've had overnight guests at the
back of the building.
23
00:01:59,356 --> 00:02:01,195
It was meths drinkers, I'm afraid.
24
00:02:01,196 --> 00:02:03,235
I asked them to take their leave
when I arrived,
25
00:02:03,236 --> 00:02:05,275
and they did so with surprising
courtesy.
26
00:02:05,276 --> 00:02:07,405
They've been using the stairwell as
a lavatory.
27
00:02:07,406 --> 00:02:09,075
Reparations are in hand
28
00:02:09,076 --> 00:02:12,705
and hygiene will be restored before
patients arrive.
29
00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:14,150
Thank you, Miss Higgins.
30
00:02:15,716 --> 00:02:18,595
I hope they don't make a habit of
it, Patrick.
31
00:02:18,596 --> 00:02:21,225
We seem to be seeing more of them
round here recently.
32
00:02:21,226 --> 00:02:23,995
It's this new wave of demolitions.
33
00:02:23,996 --> 00:02:26,975
The men tended to gather in the
cellars of the old houses
34
00:02:26,976 --> 00:02:28,435
up around Albany Square,
35
00:02:28,436 --> 00:02:31,925
but with those gone, they'll be
looking for new quarters.
36
00:02:31,926 --> 00:02:33,995
Homelessness is all relative.
37
00:02:33,996 --> 00:02:38,435
I know, but they're so unsavoury
and people are afraid of them.
38
00:02:41,382 --> 00:02:43,612
Good morning, Dr Turner's surgery.
39
00:02:43,637 --> 00:02:45,075
I spoke to the surgery.
40
00:02:45,076 --> 00:02:47,995
Dr Turner's going to come see
Sister Julienne at 11:30am.
41
00:02:47,996 --> 00:02:50,145
Thank you, Nurse Corrigan.
42
00:02:50,146 --> 00:02:53,005
Meanwhile, we have a change of tack
for you this week.
43
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,796
Your debut on the district roster
beckons.
44
00:02:57,126 --> 00:02:59,205
I usually just do midwifery.
45
00:02:59,206 --> 00:03:02,275
That's because you needed to
consolidate your skills.
46
00:03:02,276 --> 00:03:04,435
Now you need to expand them.
47
00:03:04,436 --> 00:03:07,155
You're to go with Sister Frances on
the district round.
48
00:03:07,156 --> 00:03:09,955
That means you can help me do the
sputum tests
49
00:03:09,956 --> 00:03:11,875
at the Hostel for Tuberculous Men.
50
00:03:11,876 --> 00:03:14,476
See? It's non-stop glamour.
51
00:03:18,326 --> 00:03:20,435
Midwife calling.
52
00:03:20,436 --> 00:03:22,335
- You here to see Maureen?
- Mm.
53
00:03:22,336 --> 00:03:24,325
She's gone down the launderette.
54
00:03:24,326 --> 00:03:27,325
It's just a routine call.
I shall leave a note.
55
00:03:27,326 --> 00:03:29,355
It's Thelma Haig, isn't it?
56
00:03:29,356 --> 00:03:30,995
I bet you never forget a face...
57
00:03:30,996 --> 00:03:32,685
...or a varicose ulcer.
58
00:03:32,686 --> 00:03:34,925
I thought we'd never see the back of
that one.
59
00:03:34,926 --> 00:03:37,405
I must have been dressing it for
nigh on three months.
60
00:03:37,406 --> 00:03:39,846
Right as ninepence now, thanks to
you, Nurse.
61
00:03:43,023 --> 00:03:44,633
Is she ready, Mrs Haig?
62
00:03:47,843 --> 00:03:50,123
Julie, your manager's here!
63
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:56,471
I'm off, Mum.
64
00:03:56,472 --> 00:03:57,712
Don't wait up.
65
00:03:57,713 --> 00:03:59,762
I'll always wait up. You're my daughter.
66
00:04:04,622 --> 00:04:06,371
He's her manager.
67
00:04:06,372 --> 00:04:07,923
I gathered that.
68
00:04:08,282 --> 00:04:10,541
She's blossomed since I last saw her.
69
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:13,021
Yeah, she never used to look like
anything much
70
00:04:13,022 --> 00:04:14,461
but she could always sing.
71
00:04:14,462 --> 00:04:15,861
I used to say to her all the time,
72
00:04:15,862 --> 00:04:18,431
"You keep up that singing and it'll
bring you opportunities."
73
00:04:18,432 --> 00:04:21,651
A girl with a gift is a woman with
potential.
74
00:04:21,652 --> 00:04:23,832
Mr Lewin spotted her in a talent show,
75
00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:26,551
and now she sings in clubs all
over town, yeah.
76
00:04:26,552 --> 00:04:29,011
She's got a contract to record a single
77
00:04:29,012 --> 00:04:31,541
and he reckons she's in with a
chance of being on the telly,
78
00:04:31,542 --> 00:04:34,832
and if he can make that happen,
well, the sky's the limit.
79
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:37,501
It's always been just you and her,
hasn't it?
80
00:04:37,502 --> 00:04:39,443
I brought her up on my own, yeah.
81
00:04:39,713 --> 00:04:41,221
You look after each other, now.
82
00:04:41,222 --> 00:04:42,482
We will.
83
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:48,582
I never heard of a TB hostel before.
84
00:04:48,583 --> 00:04:51,991
I thought everyone with TB went to a
country sanatorium.
85
00:04:51,992 --> 00:04:53,371
It's quite a new idea.
86
00:04:53,372 --> 00:04:55,021
Cheaper probably, but...
87
00:04:55,022 --> 00:04:57,631
...it keeps all the men under one
roof, so we know where they are,
88
00:04:57,632 --> 00:04:59,582
and it's clean, they can be monitored
89
00:04:59,583 --> 00:05:01,583
and we can help them with nutrition.
90
00:05:13,742 --> 00:05:15,713
Where are you?
91
00:05:27,222 --> 00:05:28,432
Eh...
92
00:05:29,502 --> 00:05:31,101
Your blood pressure's normal.
93
00:05:31,102 --> 00:05:34,151
No sign of any swollen glands or fever.
94
00:05:34,152 --> 00:05:36,712
I'm putting my money on labyrinthitis.
95
00:05:36,713 --> 00:05:38,582
Is that the inner ear?
96
00:05:38,583 --> 00:05:40,582
A mild infection or...
97
00:05:40,583 --> 00:05:42,991
...possibly a bubble in the
vestibular fluid.
98
00:05:42,992 --> 00:05:45,351
The best treatment is rest.
99
00:05:45,352 --> 00:05:48,301
You can draw the curtains if you
feel very dizzy.
100
00:05:48,302 --> 00:05:51,661
Resting and drawing the curtains is
not going to help...
101
00:05:51,662 --> 00:05:53,582
...Nonnatus House run smoothly.
102
00:05:53,583 --> 00:05:55,101
I can see to all of that.
103
00:05:55,102 --> 00:05:57,191
There's even more to do than usual.
104
00:05:57,192 --> 00:06:00,071
I still haven't managed to arrange
the anniversary event.
105
00:06:00,072 --> 00:06:04,271
This month marks 100 years
since the Order came to Poplar.
106
00:06:04,272 --> 00:06:05,791
I specialize in celebrations.
107
00:06:05,792 --> 00:06:07,021
I know you do.
108
00:06:07,022 --> 00:06:09,061
Sister, we've been here before.
109
00:06:09,062 --> 00:06:11,831
You work yourself to a thread time
and time again,
110
00:06:11,832 --> 00:06:13,281
and then what happens?
111
00:06:13,282 --> 00:06:14,593
Threads snap.
112
00:06:16,022 --> 00:06:18,643
One day, we won't be able to mend you.
113
00:06:18,912 --> 00:06:20,643
I will rest...
114
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:22,763
...for three days.
115
00:06:22,912 --> 00:06:25,791
You will rest for as long as I tell
you to.
116
00:06:25,792 --> 00:06:29,453
And in the meantime, I don't care
who helps you, but someone must.
117
00:06:31,072 --> 00:06:33,583
And you must accept that
with good grace.
118
00:06:36,872 --> 00:06:40,501
I think we need to get the doctor
out to see you, Mr Huntley.
119
00:06:40,502 --> 00:06:44,462
I'm worried about your weight loss
and your weakness.
120
00:06:44,463 --> 00:06:46,301
Nurse Corrigan...
121
00:06:46,302 --> 00:06:48,821
- ...have you collected those samples?
- All done and dusted.
122
00:06:48,822 --> 00:06:51,381
Nothing like decanting some phlegm
to brighten up a morning.
123
00:06:51,382 --> 00:06:56,101
I need your help turning Mr Huntley
and getting him more comfortable.
124
00:06:56,102 --> 00:06:58,092
He's not doing so well all of a sudden.
125
00:07:01,552 --> 00:07:05,512
Right. One, two, three.
126
00:07:06,502 --> 00:07:09,001
There you go. All done.
127
00:07:09,002 --> 00:07:11,511
You're good girls.
128
00:07:11,512 --> 00:07:13,302
It's all part of the service.
129
00:07:16,713 --> 00:07:17,931
My name's Avis.
130
00:07:17,932 --> 00:07:20,091
Joan Avis, Cotton Field Tower.
131
00:07:20,092 --> 00:07:22,811
Our rubbish chute has been blocked
for two weeks
132
00:07:22,812 --> 00:07:24,741
and there's no light bulb in the
stairwell.
133
00:07:24,742 --> 00:07:26,791
Well, I have an evening surgery.
134
00:07:26,792 --> 00:07:29,561
You're welcome to attend, if you'd
like to make a formal complaint.
135
00:07:29,562 --> 00:07:32,381
This is a formal complaint.
I've got my smart coat on.
136
00:07:32,382 --> 00:07:35,541
And please be advised, I shall be
suspending payment of my rates
137
00:07:35,542 --> 00:07:37,231
if matters don't improve.
138
00:07:37,232 --> 00:07:40,462
I'm not quite sure where you think
you are, Mrs Avis, but...
139
00:07:40,463 --> 00:07:42,351
...this isn't the rates office.
140
00:07:42,352 --> 00:07:44,221
Oh, it's not a dressmaker's either.
141
00:07:44,222 --> 00:07:46,792
That hem looks like it was done with
a knife and fork.
142
00:07:50,992 --> 00:07:54,151
We need to go straight to the
phone box and call the surgery.
143
00:07:54,152 --> 00:07:57,981
Mr Huntley's pulse is weak and he's
so debilitated.
144
00:07:57,982 --> 00:08:00,191
Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
145
00:08:00,192 --> 00:08:03,961
Well, if he is dying, and I think he
might be dying,
146
00:08:03,962 --> 00:08:05,863
we'll take care of him here in his
own bed.
147
00:08:05,887 --> 00:08:07,153
His own bed?
148
00:08:07,184 --> 00:08:09,602
This is no better than a dosshouse.
149
00:08:09,603 --> 00:08:12,741
The men in here used to be sailors
and labourers, Nancy.
150
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:14,991
They're too old and too
sick to work now,
151
00:08:14,992 --> 00:08:17,631
and they've no families to turn to
or to take them in.
152
00:08:17,632 --> 00:08:20,231
They've been in and out of actual
dosshouses their whole lives,
153
00:08:20,232 --> 00:08:21,751
and I promise you, this is better.
154
00:08:21,752 --> 00:08:23,542
I'm sorry, I just don't see how.
155
00:08:30,312 --> 00:08:33,021
And it's an emphatic no to
strawberries and evap
156
00:08:33,022 --> 00:08:34,381
from Sister Julienne.
157
00:08:34,382 --> 00:08:35,821
That bodes ill.
158
00:08:35,822 --> 00:08:39,901
The strawberry is a fruit of which
she has always been extremely fond.
159
00:08:39,902 --> 00:08:42,791
I don't think she fancies trying to
eat them lying down.
160
00:08:42,792 --> 00:08:45,582
She goes dizzy the minute she tries
to lift her head up off the pillow.
161
00:08:45,583 --> 00:08:47,801
I shall be heading
upstairs in short order
162
00:08:47,802 --> 00:08:50,712
to make sure she passes all
responsibilities on to me,
163
00:08:50,713 --> 00:08:53,001
including the centenary celebration.
164
00:08:53,002 --> 00:08:57,111
I think you'll find she refers to
the event as a "commemoration".
165
00:08:57,112 --> 00:08:58,671
Be that as it may,
166
00:08:58,672 --> 00:09:02,351
she can't be setting events in train
from her couch of anguish,
167
00:09:02,352 --> 00:09:05,102
and I am content to step into
the breach.
168
00:09:10,608 --> 00:09:13,717
I think, after this, I shall be a
shoo-in for next year's Olympics.
169
00:09:13,742 --> 00:09:15,472
Mexico City, here I come.
170
00:09:15,473 --> 00:09:18,231
Do the Olympics have a medal for
catching and throwing?
171
00:09:18,232 --> 00:09:21,512
Of course, and I'd get a gold medal
with moves like this.
172
00:09:23,182 --> 00:09:24,832
Mummy!
173
00:09:27,352 --> 00:09:30,541
Excuse me, mister, can I have my
ball back, please?
174
00:09:30,542 --> 00:09:33,671
Yeah, you'll have to come fetch it
if you want it,
175
00:09:33,672 --> 00:09:36,551
cos I've got a bad leg.
176
00:09:36,552 --> 00:09:38,001
All right.
177
00:09:38,002 --> 00:09:39,112
Colette.
178
00:09:41,022 --> 00:09:42,431
Come away!
179
00:09:42,432 --> 00:09:43,831
She's all right.
180
00:09:43,832 --> 00:09:46,462
Don't panic, I had her in my sights.
181
00:09:46,463 --> 00:09:48,431
The likes of him shouldn't even be
around here.
182
00:09:48,432 --> 00:09:49,991
He looks harmless enough.
183
00:09:49,992 --> 00:09:52,263
There is a school over there!
184
00:09:52,432 --> 00:09:54,472
Meths drinkers are like rats,
185
00:09:54,473 --> 00:09:56,792
except the council does something
about rats.
186
00:09:58,952 --> 00:10:01,743
Why does that man smell so horrible?
187
00:10:02,042 --> 00:10:05,443
He's in the habit of drinking stuff
that's very bad for him.
188
00:10:05,723 --> 00:10:08,901
It has an effect on his blood and
his insides.
189
00:10:08,902 --> 00:10:10,723
So, why does he do it?
190
00:10:11,072 --> 00:10:12,351
I don't know.
191
00:10:12,352 --> 00:10:14,311
He might not know himself.
192
00:10:14,312 --> 00:10:17,163
But you keep away from him and men
like him, do you hear me?
193
00:10:17,522 --> 00:10:19,521
OK, come on. Let's get you a piece
of cake
194
00:10:19,522 --> 00:10:21,183
before I take you back to Auntie Vera's.
195
00:10:21,442 --> 00:10:24,843
♪ Cry me a river
196
00:10:25,242 --> 00:10:28,403
♪ Cry me a river
197
00:10:29,522 --> 00:10:36,162
♪ I cried a river over you
198
00:10:44,272 --> 00:10:51,111
♪ I cried a river over you. ♪
199
00:10:53,682 --> 00:10:55,031
Wow!
200
00:10:55,032 --> 00:10:56,972
Wow, girl, they love you!
201
00:11:14,302 --> 00:11:16,043
Oh, Vi.
202
00:11:16,442 --> 00:11:18,121
I was getting worried about you.
203
00:11:18,122 --> 00:11:20,683
You've been cooking fried bread?
204
00:11:21,032 --> 00:11:23,871
It was for you but it was getting cold.
205
00:11:23,872 --> 00:11:26,843
Council meetings don't normally go
on this late.
206
00:11:27,162 --> 00:11:28,563
Well...
207
00:11:28,832 --> 00:11:31,621
...we had a bit of a turn-up for
the books, as it happens,
208
00:11:31,622 --> 00:11:34,441
and we ended up with quite a lot
to discuss.
209
00:11:34,442 --> 00:11:35,592
Oh, yeah?
210
00:11:35,593 --> 00:11:37,003
What's that, then?
211
00:11:37,593 --> 00:11:40,283
Lord Stonham has invited us
212
00:11:40,343 --> 00:11:42,751
to send a deputation
to the House of Commons.
213
00:11:42,752 --> 00:11:44,062
Oh, what brought that about, then?
214
00:11:44,063 --> 00:11:46,431
You know he started
out in the East End himself,
215
00:11:46,432 --> 00:11:49,191
and we've corresponded with him over
various issues
216
00:11:49,192 --> 00:11:50,901
for the last year or two, and...
217
00:11:50,902 --> 00:11:53,951
...well, he always seemed inclined to
listen to working people.
218
00:11:53,952 --> 00:11:56,151
And now that he's Minister for State,
219
00:11:56,152 --> 00:11:58,711
he wants to hear from us direct.
220
00:11:58,712 --> 00:12:00,161
Are you going to get to go, Vi?
221
00:12:00,162 --> 00:12:03,031
Well, I thought it would be all the men
222
00:12:03,032 --> 00:12:06,311
but they want me to be part of the
deputation.
223
00:12:06,312 --> 00:12:08,321
You say that like you're surprised.
224
00:12:08,322 --> 00:12:10,592
Yeah, well, I'm certainly daunted.
225
00:12:10,593 --> 00:12:12,521
All the way home I kept on thinking,
226
00:12:12,522 --> 00:12:15,441
"What am I going to wear?
What am I going to say?
227
00:12:15,442 --> 00:12:18,911
"And what is it that Poplar people
really want?"
228
00:12:18,912 --> 00:12:23,161
If I were you, I would just round
them up and ask them face-to-face.
229
00:12:23,162 --> 00:12:24,343
Mm.
230
00:12:32,962 --> 00:12:35,681
Milk's going on for your Bournvita.
231
00:12:35,682 --> 00:12:38,342
How was it?
232
00:12:38,343 --> 00:12:41,271
You look proper washed-out under all
that panstick.
233
00:12:43,353 --> 00:12:45,671
Petal...
234
00:12:45,672 --> 00:12:47,063
...what's up?
235
00:12:47,442 --> 00:12:50,323
I had one of them funny turns onstage.
236
00:12:50,632 --> 00:12:52,671
Everything was just swimming in
front of me
237
00:12:52,672 --> 00:12:54,182
and there was smoke in my eyes,
238
00:12:54,183 --> 00:12:57,443
and the baby was
just kicking and kicking.
239
00:12:57,902 --> 00:12:59,791
You're going to have to tell Mr Lewin.
240
00:12:59,792 --> 00:13:02,191
You haven't even told Jeff and he's
the baby's father.
241
00:13:02,192 --> 00:13:04,472
Everything's fizzled out since he
joined the Army.
242
00:13:04,473 --> 00:13:06,121
It's like we're just pen-friends.
243
00:13:06,122 --> 00:13:07,902
We've both had our heads in the sand
about this.
244
00:13:07,903 --> 00:13:09,342
Me just as much as you,
245
00:13:09,343 --> 00:13:11,803
cos I've been trying to play things
your way but...
246
00:13:11,983 --> 00:13:13,593
...Julie, you are pregnant.
247
00:13:15,943 --> 00:13:18,643
If I can just keep it
a secret for a bit longer...
248
00:13:24,113 --> 00:13:26,752
You're running a temperature, Julie.
249
00:13:26,753 --> 00:13:28,144
I don't think we can.
250
00:13:38,553 --> 00:13:41,472
Good morning. Nonnatus House,
midwife speaking.
251
00:13:41,473 --> 00:13:43,263
You were right, Sister Frances.
252
00:13:43,264 --> 00:13:46,838
I was slightly worried about
Mr Huntley at the TB hostel
253
00:13:46,863 --> 00:13:50,383
when I saw him last night, but he
seemed bright enough.
254
00:13:50,803 --> 00:13:54,002
I came back early this morning and
he's really gone downhill.
255
00:13:54,003 --> 00:13:55,522
Does he need someone with him?
256
00:13:55,523 --> 00:13:56,603
Yes.
257
00:13:56,923 --> 00:13:59,373
It could be another 24 hours or so.
258
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:02,563
You know what it's like, but...
259
00:14:02,588 --> 00:14:04,387
No-one dies alone, Doctor Turner.
260
00:14:05,603 --> 00:14:06,872
Not on our watch.
261
00:14:09,003 --> 00:14:11,162
- Is she all right this morning?
- I'm fine.
262
00:14:11,163 --> 00:14:12,856
She's got a bit of a sore throat.
263
00:14:12,895 --> 00:14:14,102
I'm taking her to the quack
264
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:16,121
to see if he can give her some sort
of prescription gargle.
265
00:14:16,145 --> 00:14:17,383
Perfect.
266
00:14:17,683 --> 00:14:21,573
Cos I have secured an audition for
a certain young lady for...
267
00:14:21,574 --> 00:14:23,242
...Associated Television.
268
00:14:23,243 --> 00:14:24,652
When, Mo?
269
00:14:24,653 --> 00:14:26,503
5pm tomorrow.
270
00:14:27,043 --> 00:14:29,923
Hop in, let's make sure we get your
pipes oiled.
271
00:14:37,043 --> 00:14:40,403
Smoking is not permitted in the surgery.
272
00:14:40,883 --> 00:14:43,123
It's a top-quality cigar.
273
00:14:43,533 --> 00:14:45,802
Havanas, Panatellas, Henley's
274
00:14:45,803 --> 00:14:48,852
or roll-ups stuffed with the
cheapest shag...
275
00:14:48,853 --> 00:14:51,083
The same rule applies
and will be enforced.
276
00:14:54,099 --> 00:14:56,008
Look, if we don't get satisfaction here,
277
00:14:56,033 --> 00:14:57,643
I'm taking Julie to Harley Street.
278
00:14:58,043 --> 00:14:59,403
That girl...
279
00:14:59,723 --> 00:15:01,153
...heading for the top.
280
00:15:08,269 --> 00:15:10,058
I'm quite far gone, aren't I?
281
00:15:10,083 --> 00:15:13,002
I'd put you at 36 weeks, lass.
282
00:15:13,003 --> 00:15:16,882
In other words, you've seen off
eight out of nine months pregnancy
283
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:18,762
with no medical support.
284
00:15:18,763 --> 00:15:22,082
No wonder you're feeling a bit
frayed around the edges.
285
00:15:22,083 --> 00:15:24,283
Will she have hurt the baby, Doctor...
286
00:15:24,564 --> 00:15:26,652
...cramming it flat with that panty
girdle?
287
00:15:26,653 --> 00:15:30,602
We're giving her a thorough
once-over but I doubt it very much.
288
00:15:30,603 --> 00:15:33,652
Doctor's going to have
a feel of your tummy now, Julie.
289
00:15:33,653 --> 00:15:34,963
Usual bloods?
290
00:15:37,293 --> 00:15:40,123
Oh, come on. No tears, now.
291
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:43,522
We've plenty of time
to get things organised.
292
00:15:43,523 --> 00:15:47,122
She's got an audition for a
television show tomorrow night.
293
00:15:49,013 --> 00:15:51,252
Oh, no, she hasn't.
294
00:15:51,253 --> 00:15:55,603
Because what she has got, I suspect,
is a very nasty water infection.
295
00:16:00,473 --> 00:16:02,323
Is Colette too young for the Judy, Fred?
296
00:16:02,324 --> 00:16:05,172
I wouldn't know.
Reggie's the expert on the comics.
297
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,062
I bet even he don't
read the girls' ones.
298
00:16:07,063 --> 00:16:09,482
I'll get it anyway. Free gift this week.
299
00:16:09,483 --> 00:16:11,372
Nurse Nancy, just the person!
300
00:16:11,373 --> 00:16:14,232
Now, I've arranged an open meeting
at the Institute.
301
00:16:14,233 --> 00:16:18,763
Could you deliver some handbills on
your rounds, please?
302
00:16:23,693 --> 00:16:25,122
Do you sell drink?
303
00:16:25,123 --> 00:16:27,723
No, sorry, pal. We don't have a licence.
304
00:16:28,293 --> 00:16:31,283
We do baccy and fags, if you want those.
305
00:16:35,373 --> 00:16:37,083
No, I'll leave it.
306
00:16:37,293 --> 00:16:38,763
Thanks all the same.
307
00:16:42,444 --> 00:16:44,962
He'll probably go straight to the
ironmongers
308
00:16:44,963 --> 00:16:46,752
and buy methylated spirits.
309
00:16:46,753 --> 00:16:48,752
It smells like sewer gas.
310
00:16:48,753 --> 00:16:51,522
I wouldn't light
any matches for a while.
311
00:16:54,723 --> 00:16:57,963
He would've been a
respectable bloke, once.
312
00:16:58,533 --> 00:17:02,523
Just because he isn't now
doesn't entitle us to laugh at him.
313
00:17:07,113 --> 00:17:08,613
Here, mate.
314
00:17:10,473 --> 00:17:11,763
Take these.
315
00:17:14,523 --> 00:17:16,922
It's not got much of a kick to it,
but, you know,
316
00:17:16,923 --> 00:17:18,803
with the warm weather and all that.
317
00:17:19,243 --> 00:17:20,453
Well...
318
00:17:20,454 --> 00:17:21,923
...I won't say no.
319
00:17:22,363 --> 00:17:23,763
Thank you.
320
00:17:28,204 --> 00:17:29,882
She can't be in the family way.
321
00:17:29,883 --> 00:17:31,882
She's... she's been wearing minidresses!
322
00:17:31,883 --> 00:17:34,453
We've built every stage outfit
around the Sandie Shaw look.
323
00:17:34,454 --> 00:17:36,672
She needs bed rest and antibiotics.
324
00:17:36,673 --> 00:17:39,443
They're going to keep her in
overnight in the maternity home.
325
00:17:39,444 --> 00:17:42,562
Maternity home! I never even noticed
a blinking thing!
326
00:17:42,563 --> 00:17:45,203
The chances are ATV won't notice either.
327
00:17:45,204 --> 00:17:48,172
- She can still do the audition.
- No, she can't!
328
00:17:48,173 --> 00:17:50,482
From now on, my daughter's health
comes first.
329
00:17:50,483 --> 00:17:52,752
I'm not saying never mind about her
health, Mrs Haig.
330
00:17:52,753 --> 00:17:55,302
But I am saying, what about her future?
331
00:17:55,303 --> 00:17:58,302
I can't market an unmarried mother.
332
00:17:58,303 --> 00:18:01,203
She's already got a
contract for the single.
333
00:18:01,204 --> 00:18:03,823
They'll drop her like a stone
the minute they find out.
334
00:18:04,033 --> 00:18:06,523
Well, then, her future
stops here, doesn't it?
335
00:18:06,843 --> 00:18:09,093
Everything we planned is over.
336
00:18:10,253 --> 00:18:13,002
If she tied the knot with someone,
it would be a different matter.
337
00:18:13,003 --> 00:18:15,243
Dare I ask where the father is?
338
00:18:15,454 --> 00:18:17,453
Westfalen, Germany.
339
00:18:17,454 --> 00:18:19,243
He's in the Rifles.
340
00:18:19,893 --> 00:18:21,563
Well, he wants ruddy shooting.
341
00:18:26,693 --> 00:18:28,923
It must be like feeling seasick.
342
00:18:30,283 --> 00:18:35,038
It is, only without the consoling
thought of a holiday destination
343
00:18:35,063 --> 00:18:37,123
at the end of it.
344
00:18:37,483 --> 00:18:38,733
All will be well.
345
00:18:40,259 --> 00:18:44,868
Only I'm not convinced all will be
well in time for the centenary.
346
00:18:44,893 --> 00:18:47,093
Do you have to mark it at all?
347
00:18:49,099 --> 00:18:51,738
There have been so many miracles
along the way
348
00:18:51,763 --> 00:18:53,962
that thanksgiving seems essential.
349
00:18:53,963 --> 00:18:55,163
But...
350
00:18:55,373 --> 00:18:57,562
...we mustn't seem to be patting
ourselves on the back.
351
00:18:57,563 --> 00:19:00,092
Sister Hilda seems to be full of ideas.
352
00:19:00,093 --> 00:19:03,382
Sister Hilda is as inventive as she
is enthusiastic,
353
00:19:03,383 --> 00:19:06,893
which I fear will prove a rather
febrile mix.
354
00:19:09,253 --> 00:19:11,213
You, on the other hand...
355
00:19:11,214 --> 00:19:13,842
...know us inside and out...
356
00:19:13,843 --> 00:19:17,092
...and can look towards us from the
outside in.
357
00:19:17,093 --> 00:19:19,742
Oh, I hope you're not suggesting
I might take it over.
358
00:19:19,743 --> 00:19:22,562
No, I'm asking you to.
359
00:19:22,563 --> 00:19:27,443
Simple, dignified, loving and truthful.
360
00:19:29,003 --> 00:19:31,373
No-one can do it... better.
361
00:19:34,834 --> 00:19:37,203
I want all of this drunk up
362
00:19:37,204 --> 00:19:40,052
and there'll be another glass of
water with your teatime omelette.
363
00:19:40,053 --> 00:19:42,453
The baby's going to drown
if I carry on like this.
364
00:19:42,454 --> 00:19:47,172
A regular intake of fluids is just
as important as your antibiotics.
365
00:19:47,173 --> 00:19:50,163
We need to get that
infection on the run.
366
00:19:50,813 --> 00:19:53,842
Yep, you do as the nurse says, girl.
367
00:19:53,843 --> 00:19:56,492
Now I've rearranged the audition
for next week,
368
00:19:56,493 --> 00:19:58,652
you've really got
something to aim towards.
369
00:19:58,653 --> 00:20:00,532
If I may interject,
370
00:20:00,533 --> 00:20:03,552
I think Doctor Turner may be of the
opposite opinion.
371
00:20:03,553 --> 00:20:05,682
I just want to sing, Nurse Crane.
372
00:20:05,683 --> 00:20:09,842
I want to be like Helen Shapiro used
to be, like Shirley Bassey is now.
373
00:20:09,843 --> 00:20:12,132
She's from somewhere no better than
round here,
374
00:20:12,133 --> 00:20:13,892
and they say she's made so much money
375
00:20:13,893 --> 00:20:15,482
she's going to have to live abroad.
376
00:20:15,483 --> 00:20:17,902
There's nothing wrong in wanting to
get on in life.
377
00:20:17,903 --> 00:20:21,172
I transfigured my own
fortunes in my small way.
378
00:20:21,173 --> 00:20:23,922
But you're not going to be playing
The Palladium
379
00:20:23,923 --> 00:20:25,972
when you're 36 weeks gone.
380
00:20:25,973 --> 00:20:28,092
The audition is for the telly
381
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:30,902
and they can do things
with camera angles.
382
00:20:30,903 --> 00:20:35,612
What you can't do with a camera is
bring an infant into the world
383
00:20:35,613 --> 00:20:39,203
on time, properly nourished and healthy.
384
00:20:40,363 --> 00:20:42,723
You've got work to do, lass...
385
00:20:42,933 --> 00:20:45,003
...and it isn't on the stage.
386
00:20:55,053 --> 00:20:56,253
Hello.
387
00:20:57,823 --> 00:20:59,763
I'm sorry to disturb you.
388
00:21:01,283 --> 00:21:03,683
I'm only listening to the dogs bark.
389
00:21:04,454 --> 00:21:06,443
They do that in the evenings.
390
00:21:06,633 --> 00:21:08,972
They send messages to each other.
391
00:21:08,973 --> 00:21:11,612
I brought you some things that you
might find handy -
392
00:21:11,613 --> 00:21:13,703
a walking stick and a mack.
393
00:21:13,853 --> 00:21:15,852
You'll be too warm
in that overcoat soon.
394
00:21:15,853 --> 00:21:17,482
I don't like to take it off.
395
00:21:17,483 --> 00:21:20,603
A good coat gets to be a friend.
396
00:21:23,183 --> 00:21:25,083
Will you have the stick?
397
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:27,533
I might give it a try.
398
00:21:32,074 --> 00:21:34,503
I wondered if you'd hurt your foot, sir.
399
00:21:35,733 --> 00:21:36,822
"Sir"?
400
00:21:38,723 --> 00:21:42,423
I'm a nurse. It gives you a knack
with the etiquette.
401
00:21:43,053 --> 00:21:46,492
No, I got shot of my surname years ago.
402
00:21:46,493 --> 00:21:51,663
I just answer to the name of
Bernard, like a dog.
403
00:21:54,573 --> 00:21:56,683
You're from Ireland.
404
00:21:58,723 --> 00:22:00,362
My name's Nancy.
405
00:22:00,363 --> 00:22:03,003
I was born in Cork but I live here now.
406
00:22:03,373 --> 00:22:06,492
My mother was from Skibbereen.
407
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:08,718
She... she lived here, too.
408
00:22:08,743 --> 00:22:10,943
People from our neck of the woods
get everywhere.
409
00:22:10,968 --> 00:22:15,943
When I see things that are yellow
sometimes, I... I think of her.
410
00:22:17,413 --> 00:22:20,052
A painted door, a ribbon on a child...
411
00:22:20,053 --> 00:22:23,972
She... she had eyes the colour of
robins' eggs
412
00:22:23,973 --> 00:22:27,362
but it... it was the yellow things
she loved.
413
00:22:27,363 --> 00:22:29,483
Does that foot hurt you, Bernard?
414
00:22:29,803 --> 00:22:33,002
You could come to the surgery, where
I work, and get it dressed.
415
00:22:33,003 --> 00:22:34,563
No.
416
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:37,043
I can't... can't even feel it.
417
00:22:39,613 --> 00:22:42,123
It's the best way.
418
00:22:42,533 --> 00:22:43,883
Best way.
419
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:47,283
Is that the pop that Fred gave you
from the shop?
420
00:22:48,373 --> 00:22:49,963
Might be.
421
00:22:50,773 --> 00:22:55,103
Might be a little bit more to it, now.
422
00:22:56,693 --> 00:22:59,923
You know, I... I was just looking...
423
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:04,692
...for them little golden flowers.
424
00:23:04,693 --> 00:23:06,963
Not daisies.
425
00:23:07,214 --> 00:23:09,263
The ones that shine.
426
00:23:11,084 --> 00:23:13,422
Butterfingers and all that.
427
00:23:13,423 --> 00:23:15,084
You mean buttercups?
428
00:23:16,863 --> 00:23:18,053
Might do.
429
00:23:23,053 --> 00:23:26,413
I keep looking but I never find any.
430
00:23:28,903 --> 00:23:31,213
I have no objection to Mrs Turner...
431
00:23:31,214 --> 00:23:35,982
Doctor's wife, midwife, nurse and,
well, general all-round good egg...
432
00:23:35,983 --> 00:23:38,492
Arranging the centenary celebration.
433
00:23:38,493 --> 00:23:40,902
I have every objection to such an
important role
434
00:23:40,903 --> 00:23:45,243
being assigned to Sister Bernadette,
ex-nun!
435
00:23:46,205 --> 00:23:48,862
Perhaps we can talk about what we're
likely to see the Queen wearing,
436
00:23:48,863 --> 00:23:51,083
during her forthcoming tour to Canada.
437
00:23:51,283 --> 00:23:54,782
I'm always very struck by her
diplomatic choice of colours.
438
00:23:54,783 --> 00:23:57,372
So, I'd anticipate a lot of red
and white
439
00:23:57,373 --> 00:24:00,522
and she might borrow the maple leaf
brooch from the Queen Mother.
440
00:24:00,523 --> 00:24:03,362
I'd just like to see her jazz up her
shoes a bit.
441
00:24:03,363 --> 00:24:05,932
And her bags. I mean, they're all
the same.
442
00:24:05,933 --> 00:24:09,612
Her footwear does seem to be
becoming increasingly conservative.
443
00:24:09,746 --> 00:24:13,467
Once upon a time, it wasn't unusual
to see her in a peep-toe.
444
00:24:57,013 --> 00:25:01,363
Hello. I'd like to enquire about
making an international call...
445
00:25:01,623 --> 00:25:02,973
...to West Germany.
446
00:25:06,037 --> 00:25:07,667
There you go, Albert.
447
00:25:08,893 --> 00:25:11,372
That should freshen you up a little.
448
00:25:11,373 --> 00:25:15,052
Albert - it seems so natural now,
449
00:25:15,053 --> 00:25:18,093
even to one from a generation such
as mine,
450
00:25:18,094 --> 00:25:20,372
where formal terms prevailed.
451
00:25:20,373 --> 00:25:23,543
A woman's Christian name, when she's
in travail.
452
00:25:23,783 --> 00:25:30,422
A man's, when he stands in equipoise
betwixt this life and the next.
453
00:25:30,423 --> 00:25:34,523
You think of his mother choosing it,
don't you, when he was born?
454
00:25:36,243 --> 00:25:40,882
Looking down at his little face and
wondering what would suit him.
455
00:25:40,883 --> 00:25:44,963
I've brought you a Thermos of
minestrone and some Cheddar rolls.
456
00:25:45,173 --> 00:25:48,853
A rather savoury repast for so early
in the day.
457
00:25:53,453 --> 00:25:55,043
Sister Monica Joan...
458
00:25:55,523 --> 00:25:56,693
...I think he's going.
459
00:26:08,344 --> 00:26:12,203
Depart, O Christian soul, out of
this world.
460
00:26:13,013 --> 00:26:17,522
In the Name of God, the Father
Almighty, who created you.
461
00:26:17,523 --> 00:26:20,982
In the Name of Jesus Christ, who
redeemed you.
462
00:26:20,983 --> 00:26:24,882
In the Name of the Holy Spirit, who
sanctifies you.
463
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:28,283
May your rest be this day in peace
464
00:26:28,653 --> 00:26:31,772
and your dwelling place in the
Paradise of God.
465
00:26:31,773 --> 00:26:33,143
Amen.
466
00:26:44,344 --> 00:26:46,163
Is there anything I can do?
467
00:26:48,603 --> 00:26:49,863
Open the window.
468
00:26:51,413 --> 00:26:52,933
Let his soul out.
469
00:26:59,453 --> 00:27:02,302
Mrs Buckle, what plans has the council
470
00:27:02,303 --> 00:27:04,852
to ensure that the order of
St Raymond Nonnatus
471
00:27:04,853 --> 00:27:08,292
remains at the heart of midwifery
and nursing in this area?
472
00:27:08,293 --> 00:27:11,892
The council makes a significant
contribution to health care
473
00:27:11,893 --> 00:27:13,522
right across Tower Hamlets.
474
00:27:13,523 --> 00:27:18,322
My understanding is that there are
no plans whatever
475
00:27:18,323 --> 00:27:21,452
to change the funds already allocated.
476
00:27:21,453 --> 00:27:24,882
But, in the centenary year of the
Order's arrival in the area,
477
00:27:24,883 --> 00:27:28,223
is Lord Stonham even aware of the
extent to which a vital service
478
00:27:28,224 --> 00:27:32,213
has to rely on religious charity and
private donations?
479
00:27:32,214 --> 00:27:36,963
I can certainly ensure that it is
brought to his attention.
480
00:27:36,964 --> 00:27:42,822
No-one's higher up in the nun's fan
club than me, Mrs Buckle.
481
00:27:42,823 --> 00:27:45,062
I've had five kids with them...
482
00:27:45,063 --> 00:27:48,463
Four in my own bed and one in the
air raid shelter.
483
00:27:50,573 --> 00:27:53,245
They are the best of the East End.
484
00:27:53,270 --> 00:27:54,322
Hear, hear!
485
00:27:54,323 --> 00:27:57,652
And what I want to know is, what
are you going to do about the worst?
486
00:27:57,653 --> 00:27:59,662
Well, I think you're going to need
to define
487
00:27:59,663 --> 00:28:01,662
what you mean by "the worst",
488
00:28:01,663 --> 00:28:05,572
if I'm going to answer that question
in a satisfactory manner.
489
00:28:05,573 --> 00:28:10,742
I mean cars all over the bombsites,
with God knows who living in them,
490
00:28:10,743 --> 00:28:13,612
people keeping goats in their back yards
491
00:28:13,613 --> 00:28:16,322
and meths drinkers in every doorway.
492
00:28:16,323 --> 00:28:20,838
One cannot be oblivious to the
presence of unsavoury elements
493
00:28:20,863 --> 00:28:22,142
throughout the borough,
494
00:28:22,143 --> 00:28:25,682
which appears to be the direct
result of the chaos
495
00:28:25,683 --> 00:28:27,973
caused by the housing programme.
496
00:28:27,974 --> 00:28:32,652
Will you be asking Lord Stonham how
this can be remedied?
497
00:28:32,653 --> 00:28:36,502
We all have grave concerns about
housing, Miss Higgins.
498
00:28:36,503 --> 00:28:40,932
I have grave concerns about people
using my stairwell as a khazi.
499
00:28:43,053 --> 00:28:46,612
Your concerns have been noted and
will be passed on,
500
00:28:46,613 --> 00:28:50,812
when the deputation visits the House
of Commons.
501
00:28:50,813 --> 00:28:53,262
My mum thinks you should've kept
me in longer.
502
00:28:53,263 --> 00:28:55,083
You're doing very nicely.
503
00:28:55,084 --> 00:28:58,142
If this were a test at school, you'd
be top of the form.
504
00:28:58,143 --> 00:28:59,723
That would be a first.
505
00:29:01,793 --> 00:29:04,582
Can I do classes in what to expect?
506
00:29:04,583 --> 00:29:06,682
I feel like I've got to make up for
lost time.
507
00:29:06,683 --> 00:29:09,612
The only thing you've got to do is
stop berating yourself.
508
00:29:09,613 --> 00:29:11,443
There's no harm done.
509
00:29:11,783 --> 00:29:14,142
And you can't turn back the clock.
510
00:29:14,143 --> 00:29:17,452
You don't understand. I've got to be
fantastic at this.
511
00:29:17,453 --> 00:29:19,812
Like I've always had to be fantastic
at everything.
512
00:29:19,813 --> 00:29:21,782
Why do you think that?
513
00:29:21,783 --> 00:29:24,502
Because my dad ran out on me after
I was born.
514
00:29:24,503 --> 00:29:26,973
The only thing he left behind was
the colour of my skin.
515
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:28,963
He also left your mother.
516
00:29:28,964 --> 00:29:32,382
And she's given you enough
determination, love
517
00:29:32,383 --> 00:29:36,513
and willpower to make up for any
deficit of his.
518
00:29:37,533 --> 00:29:38,743
Now...
519
00:29:39,583 --> 00:29:42,302
...I'll talk you through what to
expect, shall I?
520
00:29:44,403 --> 00:29:48,612
Mr Lewin, you're intruding upon
a professional consultation.
521
00:29:48,613 --> 00:29:51,682
I've actually come in search of a
professional consultation
522
00:29:51,683 --> 00:29:53,823
about residential nurseries
for the nipper.
523
00:29:53,847 --> 00:29:54,950
I beg your pardon?
524
00:29:54,974 --> 00:29:56,662
What's a residential nursery?
525
00:29:56,663 --> 00:30:00,973
A select, fee-paying facility, where
babies can reside all year round.
526
00:30:00,974 --> 00:30:02,963
Now, we can pick up where you left off.
527
00:30:02,964 --> 00:30:04,942
I've even got contacts at
Search For A Star.
528
00:30:04,943 --> 00:30:07,223
Out of this young lady's bedroom, now!
529
00:30:07,224 --> 00:30:10,152
She may have decisions to make about
her future,
530
00:30:10,153 --> 00:30:14,223
but she also has a mind and opinions
of her own.
531
00:30:14,224 --> 00:30:17,333
I've been her manager for a year.
Do you think I don't know that?
532
00:30:19,693 --> 00:30:22,692
Julie, if we don't sort this out,
533
00:30:22,693 --> 00:30:24,763
none of this will ever come your way
again.
534
00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:35,662
Jeff, what are you doing here?
535
00:30:35,663 --> 00:30:36,942
Well, what do you think?
536
00:30:36,943 --> 00:30:39,862
As soon as you told me, I couldn't
get to the boat train fast enough.
537
00:30:39,863 --> 00:30:42,043
I didn't even change out of my uniform.
538
00:30:42,224 --> 00:30:44,143
Oh, have a heart, Thelma.
539
00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:45,583
Let me in.
540
00:30:47,503 --> 00:30:49,742
Jeff, why aren't you in Germany?
541
00:30:49,743 --> 00:30:50,963
Because of this.
542
00:30:54,275 --> 00:30:55,571
Is she having it now?
543
00:30:55,596 --> 00:30:59,382
No, although I can't
vouch for how the day will unfold,
544
00:30:59,383 --> 00:31:01,643
if we are subject to any more drama.
545
00:31:04,003 --> 00:31:06,322
I brought Lucille's lacquer.
546
00:31:06,323 --> 00:31:10,259
You can immobilise Big Ben with what
she's sprayed on her barnet already.
547
00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:11,419
It's a windy day
548
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:13,859
and we're having our photograph
taken with Lord Stonham.
549
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:15,970
Have you got the French chalk?
550
00:31:15,971 --> 00:31:17,329
Where's the kid gloves?
551
00:31:17,330 --> 00:31:19,859
On the kitchen table. The mark is on
the thumb.
552
00:31:19,860 --> 00:31:22,243
Just pretend you're spraying a car.
553
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:25,659
You have to stay calm, Mrs Buckle.
554
00:31:25,660 --> 00:31:27,249
You're looking elegant and dignified
555
00:31:27,250 --> 00:31:29,379
but it's not your appearance that
matters today,
556
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:31,019
it's about what you are going to say.
557
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:33,489
That's exactly why the backs of my
knees have turned to water.
558
00:31:33,490 --> 00:31:35,399
Why, when all you have to do is tell
the truth
559
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,100
and ask the questions that matters
on behalf of the people you love?
560
00:31:38,101 --> 00:31:40,249
You make it sound so easy, Cyril.
561
00:31:40,250 --> 00:31:43,723
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy,
but you know...
562
00:31:44,260 --> 00:31:47,810
...it can be quite simple, if you
just speak from your heart.
563
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:56,970
Garnets?
564
00:31:56,971 --> 00:31:58,942
They're your birthstone, if you're
born in January.
565
00:31:58,943 --> 00:32:02,129
I was going to get you a diamond but
that's the birthstone for April
566
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:03,883
and I thought it might be unlucky.
567
00:32:04,580 --> 00:32:07,489
I've applied for a special licence.
568
00:32:07,490 --> 00:32:09,403
It only takes a few days.
569
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:11,226
Please...
570
00:32:11,227 --> 00:32:12,723
...please, say yes.
571
00:32:13,011 --> 00:32:15,050
At least it'll make having gone AWOL
worthwhile.
572
00:32:15,074 --> 00:32:16,507
AWOL?
573
00:32:16,531 --> 00:32:18,730
You've come here absent without leave?
574
00:32:18,731 --> 00:32:20,050
What did your mum say?
575
00:32:20,051 --> 00:32:22,663
She thinks they've let me home on
compassionate grounds.
576
00:32:23,811 --> 00:32:24,931
I panicked.
577
00:32:26,938 --> 00:32:28,363
Jeff...
578
00:32:28,931 --> 00:32:31,520
...what if I say yes and I make you
miserable?
579
00:32:31,521 --> 00:32:34,810
Well, I keep telling myself how much
more miserable I'd be,
580
00:32:34,811 --> 00:32:38,803
knowing our little titch was getting
name called for being a bastard.
581
00:32:39,691 --> 00:32:42,066
You had it just as bad as me, didn't
you, Jeff?
582
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:43,503
Almost.
583
00:32:47,092 --> 00:32:49,251
Let me be a man who does the decent
thing.
584
00:33:02,291 --> 00:33:05,891
Would the delegation from Tower
Hamlets please come with me?
585
00:33:11,001 --> 00:33:12,603
Greetings.
586
00:33:12,962 --> 00:33:15,931
I imagine you've come to confer with
Sister Julienne.
587
00:33:26,891 --> 00:33:28,300
I approve of all of it.
588
00:33:28,301 --> 00:33:29,831
Even the balloons?
589
00:33:29,832 --> 00:33:33,290
Especially the balloons. So much of
our work has been about children,
590
00:33:33,291 --> 00:33:36,290
why not do something that will make
them smile?
591
00:33:36,291 --> 00:33:38,321
Sister Hilda, would you like to see
this?
592
00:33:58,411 --> 00:34:00,243
This all seems most...
593
00:34:00,611 --> 00:34:01,943
...acceptable.
594
00:34:03,451 --> 00:34:07,810
But what, may I ask, is item 10...
Surprise?
595
00:34:07,811 --> 00:34:09,920
I can't say.
596
00:34:09,921 --> 00:34:13,110
All of this is in the manner of a
gift to you.
597
00:34:13,111 --> 00:34:14,963
To the whole Order.
598
00:34:15,201 --> 00:34:20,043
And it doesn't seem right to unwrap
every element at once.
599
00:34:22,972 --> 00:34:25,163
Violet, you're home!
600
00:34:25,571 --> 00:34:29,050
The minister gave us a full 40
minutes of his time.
601
00:34:29,051 --> 00:34:30,370
That's good, isn't it?
602
00:34:30,371 --> 00:34:34,342
We discussed play streets,
playgrounds, unlicensed dogs,
603
00:34:34,383 --> 00:34:35,961
and what's going on at Tilbury Docks.
604
00:34:35,962 --> 00:34:38,142
Well, no-one likes the sound of
those containers coming in.
605
00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:41,022
And then, finally, we looked at a
plan of action
606
00:34:41,023 --> 00:34:43,190
against the meths drinkers.
607
00:34:43,191 --> 00:34:46,730
Councillor Finney persuaded the
minister that what we really need
608
00:34:46,731 --> 00:34:51,203
is to increase police powers of
arrest and dispersal.
609
00:34:51,441 --> 00:34:53,730
All that's going to do is move them on
610
00:34:53,731 --> 00:34:55,662
and make them somebody else's problem.
611
00:34:55,663 --> 00:34:58,681
Oh, half the time, that's what
politics is, Fred.
612
00:35:06,611 --> 00:35:09,212
Good afternoon, sir. May I be of
assistance?
613
00:35:09,213 --> 00:35:10,894
Um... Yeah.
614
00:35:10,895 --> 00:35:14,174
There's a... there's a nurse, who
works here, name of Nancy.
615
00:35:14,175 --> 00:35:17,222
You can't have him in here. It's
insanitary!
616
00:35:17,223 --> 00:35:20,554
I'm afraid Nurse Corrigan is not on
the premises today.
617
00:35:20,555 --> 00:35:25,243
I will confer with Dr Turner, if you
would like to wait outside.
618
00:35:25,475 --> 00:35:28,994
No, it... it's not bad enough for a
doctor.
619
00:35:28,995 --> 00:35:32,003
No, I'm... I'm happy with the nurse.
620
00:35:41,035 --> 00:35:43,004
Sorry for dragging you out, Fred.
621
00:35:43,005 --> 00:35:45,804
Nothing much scares me, but on my own,
622
00:35:45,805 --> 00:35:49,603
I can't vouch for Nurse Corrigan's
safety in this set-up after dark.
623
00:35:49,836 --> 00:35:52,963
And I suspect she's the only one
this man will trust.
624
00:35:54,045 --> 00:35:56,804
- What's this?
- Eucalyptus ointment.
625
00:35:56,805 --> 00:35:58,863
Rub it underneath your nose.
626
00:35:59,405 --> 00:36:02,734
It's a trick I learned years ago,
going into dosshouses.
627
00:36:02,735 --> 00:36:05,884
What is it about drinking meths that
makes them like this, Doc?
628
00:36:05,885 --> 00:36:07,723
If you mean the smell,
629
00:36:07,956 --> 00:36:11,723
the raw alcohol is rotting their
flesh from the inside out.
630
00:36:11,925 --> 00:36:16,194
Some of them will have gastritis
and soil themselves constantly,
631
00:36:16,195 --> 00:36:19,264
and their legs are probably covered
in ulcers.
632
00:36:19,265 --> 00:36:20,924
Poor sods.
633
00:36:20,925 --> 00:36:24,324
If you mean why are they confused
and incoherent,
634
00:36:24,325 --> 00:36:27,254
it's because the alcohol is damaging
their brains,
635
00:36:27,255 --> 00:36:29,203
possibly even blinding them.
636
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:32,443
Why is there nowhere for these
people to go and get treatment?
637
00:36:32,685 --> 00:36:36,474
There is no treatment and they
wouldn't go.
638
00:36:36,475 --> 00:36:38,764
They cling to each other
639
00:36:38,765 --> 00:36:42,643
and the few small things that still
feel familiar.
640
00:36:43,895 --> 00:36:46,283
Everything beyond that is the void.
641
00:36:46,645 --> 00:36:49,923
And in the one place they can bear
to be...
642
00:36:50,535 --> 00:36:52,096
...nobody even wants them.
643
00:36:55,765 --> 00:36:57,914
- I got the licence.
- I got the dress.
644
00:36:57,915 --> 00:36:59,678
Me and Mum nipped up to Venus Modes
645
00:36:59,703 --> 00:37:01,514
and bought a little white number off
the peg.
646
00:37:01,515 --> 00:37:04,085
- Hat to match, and all.
- Oh, can I see it?
647
00:37:04,086 --> 00:37:05,604
No.
648
00:37:05,605 --> 00:37:08,164
It's like diamonds when you're born
in January...
649
00:37:08,165 --> 00:37:09,535
unlucky.
650
00:37:10,885 --> 00:37:13,325
I hope you aren't planning on
wearing that shirt.
651
00:37:26,765 --> 00:37:28,165
Bernard?
652
00:37:34,635 --> 00:37:37,124
It's Nancy, the nurse.
653
00:37:37,125 --> 00:37:39,965
You asked for me at the surgery but
I wasn't there.
654
00:37:39,966 --> 00:37:41,204
I've brought the doctor.
655
00:37:41,205 --> 00:37:43,034
I don't need the doctor.
656
00:37:43,035 --> 00:37:44,474
Now, I reckon you do.
657
00:37:44,475 --> 00:37:49,484
But I'm just junior, he knows more
than me, which isn't difficult.
658
00:37:49,485 --> 00:37:53,334
If you'd let the nurse just ease
your shoe off, have a quick look,
659
00:37:53,335 --> 00:37:55,814
I won't interfere, unless it's
necessary.
660
00:37:55,815 --> 00:37:59,883
I've heard of a thing called antibions.
661
00:38:00,125 --> 00:38:01,764
Antibiotics?
662
00:38:01,765 --> 00:38:03,604
Mm, we've tonnes of them.
663
00:38:03,605 --> 00:38:06,644
Pills, lotions, liquid, solid.
664
00:38:06,645 --> 00:38:09,534
- Probably even gas.
- Just her.
665
00:38:09,535 --> 00:38:10,815
Right.
666
00:38:12,485 --> 00:38:14,683
Let's ease this off, then.
667
00:38:15,055 --> 00:38:19,083
My mother, right, she used to be a
Lady's maid.
668
00:38:19,976 --> 00:38:22,703
The family, who she worked for,
669
00:38:22,856 --> 00:38:27,443
they used to have their shoes
handmade in Piccadilly.
670
00:38:38,405 --> 00:38:42,483
His.. his foot's come off with the shoe.
671
00:38:51,685 --> 00:38:53,983
I'm... I'm sorry, Bernard.
672
00:38:55,355 --> 00:38:56,843
I'm sorry.
673
00:38:57,205 --> 00:38:59,244
I didn't feel a thing.
674
00:38:59,245 --> 00:39:00,843
You wouldn't.
675
00:39:01,245 --> 00:39:02,775
You've got gangrene.
676
00:39:24,125 --> 00:39:26,063
What will they do at the hospital?
677
00:39:26,405 --> 00:39:27,963
Amputate...
678
00:39:28,856 --> 00:39:31,163
...somewhere below the knee, if he's
lucky.
679
00:39:32,726 --> 00:39:35,124
If he'd led a different sort of life,
680
00:39:35,125 --> 00:39:38,923
he'd stand a decent chance of being
fitted with an artificial leg.
681
00:39:39,635 --> 00:39:41,582
That's not going to happen,
682
00:39:41,583 --> 00:39:45,283
because of the thing that got him in
this state in the first place.
683
00:39:45,615 --> 00:39:47,203
The drink?
684
00:39:47,716 --> 00:39:49,083
The drink...
685
00:39:49,405 --> 00:39:51,415
...and everything that made him drink.
686
00:39:53,135 --> 00:39:56,263
Smoking can cause arteriosclerosis.
687
00:39:56,485 --> 00:39:59,055
A bad diet can cause diabetes.
688
00:40:00,605 --> 00:40:04,603
Both can lead to loss of circulation
and dry gangrene.
689
00:40:06,615 --> 00:40:09,054
But only catastrophic self-neglect
690
00:40:09,055 --> 00:40:11,643
can result in a sight like we've
just seen.
691
00:40:12,045 --> 00:40:14,043
It didn't even seem to hurt him.
692
00:40:15,165 --> 00:40:17,005
It was as though he hardly cared.
693
00:40:18,445 --> 00:40:21,323
And that is the most painful thing
we ever see.
694
00:40:25,515 --> 00:40:27,924
I can't stop asking myself.
695
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:32,404
I mean, why is it that I bend over
backwards for some people
696
00:40:32,405 --> 00:40:34,364
and not for others?
697
00:40:34,365 --> 00:40:38,134
And all for the sake of what,
a well-kept street?
698
00:40:38,135 --> 00:40:40,644
I can't say I'm keen on driving
those poor men
699
00:40:40,645 --> 00:40:42,074
as far away as possible.
700
00:40:42,075 --> 00:40:43,934
It's not about what I want, is it?
701
00:40:43,935 --> 00:40:46,194
It's about what my constituents want.
702
00:40:46,195 --> 00:40:48,794
I mean, I am in the service of others,
703
00:40:48,795 --> 00:40:52,644
however unfortunate that may be in
this instance.
704
00:40:52,645 --> 00:40:54,514
What about Bernard?
705
00:40:54,515 --> 00:40:56,615
Isn't he your constituent, too?
706
00:41:00,615 --> 00:41:01,885
Knock, knock.
707
00:41:03,251 --> 00:41:06,340
Bernard, it's Dr Turner.
708
00:41:06,365 --> 00:41:08,214
We met last night.
709
00:41:08,215 --> 00:41:09,663
Do you work here?
710
00:41:09,688 --> 00:41:11,326
No, but...
711
00:41:11,485 --> 00:41:13,443
...I'm good at sneaking in.
712
00:41:13,615 --> 00:41:16,975
And there is a lady, who wanted to
visit you.
713
00:41:16,976 --> 00:41:18,405
Is it Nancy?
714
00:41:19,915 --> 00:41:22,044
I'm Councillor Buckle.
715
00:41:22,045 --> 00:41:23,563
Violet.
716
00:41:23,795 --> 00:41:26,283
I'm so sorry for your troubles.
717
00:41:26,515 --> 00:41:29,434
...I brought you a small parcel of
essentials
718
00:41:29,435 --> 00:41:32,574
from the Pensioners' Benevolent Society.
719
00:41:32,575 --> 00:41:34,083
Oh, I don't get a pension.
720
00:41:34,355 --> 00:41:36,243
I lost me cards.
721
00:41:36,515 --> 00:41:38,142
Is there something wrong with me
722
00:41:38,143 --> 00:41:42,364
cos I keep thinking I ought to want
to drink?
723
00:41:42,365 --> 00:41:46,234
They're giving you medication to
take the edge off any cravings.
724
00:41:46,235 --> 00:41:49,084
Yeah, they took me leg off too,
didn't they?
725
00:41:49,085 --> 00:41:50,502
Not all of it.
726
00:41:50,503 --> 00:41:54,083
According to the staff nurse, you've
still got your knee joint.
727
00:41:54,875 --> 00:41:56,903
I always wanted to disappear.
728
00:41:57,986 --> 00:42:00,294
Looks like I'm doing it bit by bit.
729
00:42:08,805 --> 00:42:10,934
This is not something I get to say
every day,
730
00:42:10,935 --> 00:42:13,494
but we have a bride in labour.
731
00:42:13,495 --> 00:42:15,843
Events have taken something of a turn.
732
00:42:16,155 --> 00:42:20,884
And are we to book the lady in
question in as Miss Haig or Mrs...?
733
00:42:20,885 --> 00:42:24,284
...Lilly. My client is in fact a
married woman, now.
734
00:42:24,285 --> 00:42:27,154
We told the registrar to keep
proceedings brief.
735
00:42:27,155 --> 00:42:28,843
I love you, Julie.
736
00:42:39,525 --> 00:42:42,764
They won't let me smoke. It's making
me cough.
737
00:42:42,765 --> 00:42:44,884
Pneumonia's making you cough.
738
00:42:44,885 --> 00:42:47,564
- Is it?
- Mm, it's in your notes.
739
00:42:47,565 --> 00:42:49,563
I took a shufty at them.
740
00:42:50,015 --> 00:42:54,524
Is pneumonia when your lungs fill up
with water?
741
00:42:54,525 --> 00:42:57,884
Well, it's an acute lower
respiratory infection,
742
00:42:57,885 --> 00:42:59,803
involving the alveoli.
743
00:43:00,415 --> 00:43:02,663
But, yeah, it comes to the same thing.
744
00:43:02,805 --> 00:43:05,723
Ah, I can go along with that.
745
00:43:06,005 --> 00:43:08,163
They're giving you medicine for it.
746
00:43:08,455 --> 00:43:10,123
My mother drowned...
747
00:43:10,596 --> 00:43:12,163
...in a canal.
748
00:43:12,655 --> 00:43:14,374
She left her handbag on the side
749
00:43:14,375 --> 00:43:16,863
and there were three ha'pence in her
purse.
750
00:43:17,885 --> 00:43:21,134
They gave me the coins to take to
the industrial school
751
00:43:21,135 --> 00:43:23,783
but the matron robbed them...
752
00:43:25,045 --> 00:43:27,484
...and I've been grubbing about in
the dirt,
753
00:43:27,485 --> 00:43:29,643
looking for pennies ever since.
754
00:43:32,135 --> 00:43:34,005
I lost my mother when I was a child.
755
00:43:36,415 --> 00:43:38,723
I'm a mother myself, now.
756
00:43:39,075 --> 00:43:41,415
Does it make things better?
757
00:43:45,295 --> 00:43:46,365
Yeah.
758
00:43:55,175 --> 00:43:59,164
I'm sorry, Miss Higgins, but if this
is to be set to "Repton",
759
00:43:59,165 --> 00:44:02,074
I don't think that's
the appropriate key.
760
00:44:02,075 --> 00:44:05,214
It's the key I sang it in, when I
was writing the verse.
761
00:44:05,215 --> 00:44:08,524
Miss Higgins, the words are your domain.
762
00:44:08,525 --> 00:44:10,225
The music is mine.
763
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:30,223
I joined the Navy when I was 14.
764
00:44:30,525 --> 00:44:32,803
That didn't make it better.
765
00:44:33,165 --> 00:44:35,923
I started with the booze at 16.
766
00:44:36,235 --> 00:44:38,774
That didn't make it better, either.
767
00:44:38,775 --> 00:44:41,044
You certainly gave it enough of a
chance.
768
00:44:41,045 --> 00:44:42,883
The war made it worse.
769
00:44:44,301 --> 00:44:48,423
Living a life at sea in peacetime
made it worse.
770
00:44:48,955 --> 00:44:53,083
Every year, every day, I needed
something stronger...
771
00:44:53,285 --> 00:44:54,860
...and I just tramped about.
772
00:44:56,221 --> 00:44:57,923
Went all over...
773
00:44:58,205 --> 00:45:03,414
Land's End to John O'Groats, like a
ship avoiding harbour.
774
00:45:03,415 --> 00:45:04,763
And then...
775
00:45:05,295 --> 00:45:06,683
...in the end...
776
00:45:06,945 --> 00:45:08,444
...I came home.
777
00:45:08,445 --> 00:45:10,163
Home to Poplar.
778
00:45:10,525 --> 00:45:12,683
Where I lived with my mother.
779
00:45:13,415 --> 00:45:16,494
It was like I could see her
footprints on the pavement
780
00:45:16,495 --> 00:45:18,254
and hear her voice.
781
00:45:18,255 --> 00:45:20,403
"Let's see if you like butter."
782
00:45:21,165 --> 00:45:23,963
And the tickle of the flower
underneath me chin.
783
00:45:24,415 --> 00:45:26,763
"Yes... yes, you do."
784
00:45:30,325 --> 00:45:34,085
One way or another, I've been trying
to drown myself for 40 years.
785
00:45:35,935 --> 00:45:38,243
Now, I have the pneumonia...
786
00:45:39,135 --> 00:45:40,325
...I can stop.
787
00:45:50,165 --> 00:45:52,924
I'm sorry about the smell of dog dirt.
788
00:45:52,925 --> 00:45:56,083
I'm trying not to spray it around
with the brush.
789
00:45:56,540 --> 00:46:00,123
After the stenches I've encountered
in the last few days, it's nothing.
790
00:46:04,856 --> 00:46:06,563
How do you do it?
791
00:46:07,045 --> 00:46:08,324
Do what?
792
00:46:08,325 --> 00:46:09,503
This job.
793
00:46:09,815 --> 00:46:12,504
Seeing people so...
794
00:46:12,505 --> 00:46:15,454
...broken and in so much want?
795
00:46:15,455 --> 00:46:18,403
You have to sidestep want most of
the time.
796
00:46:18,585 --> 00:46:21,963
Just concentrate on providing what
they need and that's...
797
00:46:22,856 --> 00:46:26,123
...just love, most of the time.
798
00:46:35,445 --> 00:46:37,974
I just want it to be all right, Nurse.
799
00:46:37,975 --> 00:46:40,983
Not too weak or too small or too poorly.
800
00:46:41,575 --> 00:46:42,964
Come on, precious.
801
00:46:42,965 --> 00:46:45,814
You're using up all your strength
with all this crying.
802
00:46:45,815 --> 00:46:47,974
And I don't want any more contractions.
803
00:46:47,975 --> 00:46:50,884
Nobody said how much they were going
to hurt!
804
00:46:50,885 --> 00:46:54,564
Julie, if we can get you nice and calm,
805
00:46:54,565 --> 00:46:57,218
we will have a try with the gas and
air with the next one,
806
00:46:57,219 --> 00:46:59,245
and I promise that will really help.
807
00:46:59,246 --> 00:47:03,216
But first, let me get you a nice,
cool cloth to bathe those eyes.
808
00:47:05,843 --> 00:47:10,063
No wonder she's in no frame of mind
for this, with all their fretting.
809
00:47:10,456 --> 00:47:13,837
And she's had no time whatsoever
to prepare.
810
00:47:13,862 --> 00:47:15,063
I'm scared.
811
00:47:15,563 --> 00:47:18,525
Everybody is scared of things
they've never done before
812
00:47:18,526 --> 00:47:20,405
but that's where we come in.
813
00:47:20,406 --> 00:47:23,575
We've done this time and time again,
haven't we, Nurse Crane?
814
00:47:23,576 --> 00:47:25,255
I delivered my first baby
815
00:47:25,256 --> 00:47:28,323
before Shirley Temple was top of the
hit parade.
816
00:47:35,176 --> 00:47:36,843
Here we go, precious.
817
00:47:37,046 --> 00:47:40,115
You do exactly as I tell you, and I
promise,
818
00:47:40,116 --> 00:47:42,286
the difference will be like night
from day.
819
00:47:50,406 --> 00:47:54,483
I brought us all some pie and mash
and a bottle of champagne for later.
820
00:47:55,126 --> 00:47:56,403
Vintage.
821
00:47:56,816 --> 00:47:59,123
I just hope we've got something to
celebrate.
822
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:00,936
It's coming too early, Mo.
823
00:48:02,176 --> 00:48:07,403
I've never known a girl push
so strongly and with such control.
824
00:48:08,406 --> 00:48:11,215
Every time you push, I can see a bit
more of the head.
825
00:48:11,216 --> 00:48:13,326
You're doing so well, lass.
826
00:48:20,326 --> 00:48:21,846
And the head is with us.
827
00:48:27,186 --> 00:48:28,846
See how well you've done?
828
00:48:31,106 --> 00:48:34,935
The baby's head's starting to turn
now, just one last push, Julie.
829
00:48:34,936 --> 00:48:36,976
Give it all the strength you've got.
830
00:48:41,226 --> 00:48:42,477
Hello.
831
00:48:53,046 --> 00:48:56,883
May I introduce you to your daughter?
832
00:48:58,896 --> 00:49:00,685
She's beautiful.
833
00:49:00,686 --> 00:49:02,845
And that was... that was...
834
00:49:02,846 --> 00:49:04,586
How about fantastic?
835
00:49:08,152 --> 00:49:10,923
So many men are psychologically damaged.
836
00:49:12,406 --> 00:49:13,843
Loss or...
837
00:49:14,096 --> 00:49:15,126
...poverty.
838
00:49:17,046 --> 00:49:19,046
Always, always war.
839
00:49:21,846 --> 00:49:24,816
When I got back from Italy, I was
encouraged to talk.
840
00:49:26,607 --> 00:49:28,386
Maybe I didn't talk enough.
841
00:49:30,487 --> 00:49:33,563
Maybe I could've talked more about
talking...
842
00:49:34,536 --> 00:49:36,206
...but I was healed.
843
00:49:39,336 --> 00:49:41,617
People like Bernard never get that
chance.
844
00:49:44,672 --> 00:49:48,003
We are all the things that have
happened to us, aren't we?
845
00:49:48,216 --> 00:49:50,565
I keep thinking about that all the time,
846
00:49:50,566 --> 00:49:53,163
while I've been organising the
centenary.
847
00:49:53,776 --> 00:49:56,243
All the things I was part of...
848
00:49:56,737 --> 00:49:59,283
...and how those things became a part
of me.
849
00:49:59,497 --> 00:50:01,683
We've been so lucky, haven't we?
850
00:50:08,906 --> 00:50:11,765
One for posterity, in case the press
ever ask.
851
00:50:11,766 --> 00:50:13,105
What are you going to call her?
852
00:50:13,106 --> 00:50:14,683
Nicola Samantha.
853
00:50:14,926 --> 00:50:15,986
I love it.
854
00:50:24,617 --> 00:50:26,025
Is it all right to come in?
855
00:50:26,026 --> 00:50:28,483
Please, do. There's no-one we can
send for.
856
00:50:30,406 --> 00:50:31,763
Mother...
857
00:50:32,406 --> 00:50:35,255
- ...is that you?
- You're out of luck, love.
858
00:50:35,256 --> 00:50:37,683
But I brought you some flowers.
859
00:50:42,096 --> 00:50:44,775
I've been crawling all over the
bombsites with a nun,
860
00:50:44,776 --> 00:50:46,203
looking for these.
861
00:50:46,487 --> 00:50:48,043
I hope you're grateful.
862
00:50:53,186 --> 00:50:55,255
It's not right, is it, Nurse Crane?
863
00:50:55,256 --> 00:50:58,285
It's a tiny bit on the high side.
864
00:50:58,286 --> 00:51:01,616
Little lass might have picked up
a mild infection.
865
00:51:01,617 --> 00:51:02,835
What will you do?
866
00:51:02,836 --> 00:51:04,815
Will you send her to hospital?
867
00:51:04,816 --> 00:51:08,826
I'm going to telephone Dr Turner
and we'll see what he advises.
868
00:51:18,566 --> 00:51:20,487
I can see it glowing against your skin.
869
00:51:22,176 --> 00:51:25,883
Brightest gold you ever saw, like a
coin...
870
00:51:26,186 --> 00:51:27,603
...or a Fairy Flag.
871
00:51:33,305 --> 00:51:35,243
Shall we see who likes butter?
872
00:51:38,766 --> 00:51:41,803
Oh, you do, Bernard.
873
00:51:42,553 --> 00:51:43,763
You do.
874
00:51:55,326 --> 00:51:57,175
I don't want her to go.
875
00:51:57,176 --> 00:51:58,883
I'm her mother.
876
00:51:59,146 --> 00:52:01,283
And you're a very good one,
877
00:52:01,656 --> 00:52:05,043
which is why you know you have to
let her get the best of care.
878
00:52:14,871 --> 00:52:16,871
Will you leave the buttercups with him?
879
00:52:16,896 --> 00:52:18,416
He loved yellow things.
880
00:52:41,497 --> 00:52:44,746
I'm the only person who's crying
for him in the whole world.
881
00:52:44,747 --> 00:52:46,043
No, you aren't.
882
00:52:49,546 --> 00:52:52,285
These readings are going up and up,
Julie.
883
00:52:52,286 --> 00:52:55,223
I don't want to have to ask Doctor
for a sedative.
884
00:52:55,497 --> 00:52:59,185
Baby will be back in your arms in a
day or two, I'm sure.
885
00:52:59,186 --> 00:53:01,325
And what's going to happen, then?
886
00:53:01,326 --> 00:53:04,765
I hand her over to my mum, put on my
glad rags,
887
00:53:04,766 --> 00:53:06,905
paint my face and go out singing?
888
00:53:06,906 --> 00:53:10,376
You're under contract to Mr Lewin
and to the record company.
889
00:53:10,377 --> 00:53:13,523
My contract is with my daughter.
890
00:53:15,736 --> 00:53:18,095
Sincere apologies for any disturbance,
891
00:53:18,096 --> 00:53:20,363
but two gentlemen have called for
Mr Lilly.
892
00:54:21,096 --> 00:54:23,575
Do the hospital require any assistance
893
00:54:23,576 --> 00:54:26,465
with the gentleman's funeral
arrangements, Dr Turner?
894
00:54:26,466 --> 00:54:30,135
There are age-old routines for
burial in a council grave.
895
00:54:30,136 --> 00:54:31,735
They do it all the time.
896
00:54:31,736 --> 00:54:35,135
I said they could use my surname,
on the forms.
897
00:54:35,136 --> 00:54:37,003
Bernard Corrigan.
898
00:54:37,497 --> 00:54:39,825
If anyone looks at the cemetery records,
899
00:54:39,826 --> 00:54:42,323
they'll know he belonged to someone.
900
00:54:42,696 --> 00:54:45,545
Well, he belonged here. He was born
in Poplar.
901
00:54:45,546 --> 00:54:47,815
Poplar should have taken better care
of him.
902
00:54:47,816 --> 00:54:49,403
We tried...
903
00:54:49,776 --> 00:54:52,003
...but we could all do better.
904
00:54:52,377 --> 00:54:54,003
And we will.
905
00:54:54,576 --> 00:54:59,345
Now, I know we have hostels for
treating men who have TB.
906
00:54:59,346 --> 00:55:02,305
We need similar facilities for
treating people,
907
00:55:02,306 --> 00:55:04,376
who suffer from alcohol addiction.
908
00:55:04,377 --> 00:55:06,303
Somewhere where they can be helped.
909
00:55:06,446 --> 00:55:09,483
Somewhere where they can be treated
like human beings.
910
00:55:09,906 --> 00:55:11,843
Would the council fund that?
911
00:55:13,456 --> 00:55:15,203
Well, it will take time...
912
00:55:15,497 --> 00:55:17,363
but I will try.
913
00:55:17,766 --> 00:55:19,363
We look after our own here.
914
00:55:21,926 --> 00:55:24,266
I'm going to sing her so many
songs, Mum.
915
00:55:26,066 --> 00:55:28,083
I wanted more for you.
916
00:55:28,546 --> 00:55:30,775
You gave me everything I needed.
917
00:55:30,776 --> 00:55:33,296
And now, I'm going to do the same
for her.
918
00:55:35,576 --> 00:55:37,025
With respect, Mrs Turner,
919
00:55:37,026 --> 00:55:39,376
wouldn't it be more sensible to get
this into position
920
00:55:39,377 --> 00:55:40,975
once the rain had packed in?
921
00:55:40,976 --> 00:55:42,775
It's going to end up out of tune,
you know.
922
00:55:42,776 --> 00:55:45,865
The rain is not due to "pack in"
until early afternoon,
923
00:55:45,866 --> 00:55:48,455
exactly as the service commences.
924
00:55:48,456 --> 00:55:50,856
I'm also armed with a large tarpaulin.
925
00:55:53,792 --> 00:55:55,271
When we first started,
926
00:55:55,296 --> 00:55:57,366
this seemed like the
most marvellous idea.
927
00:55:57,367 --> 00:55:59,725
A canopy of massed summer flowers
928
00:55:59,726 --> 00:56:03,135
donated by well-wishers from the
community of Poplar.
929
00:56:03,136 --> 00:56:05,425
What we've ended up with is a sort of...
930
00:56:05,426 --> 00:56:09,295
...chrysanthemum soup with privet
croutons.
931
00:56:09,296 --> 00:56:11,975
So, that's no good, then?
932
00:56:11,976 --> 00:56:16,015
Matthew, I'm Constance Spry-trained.
933
00:56:16,016 --> 00:56:18,175
Well, I'm glad I didn't know that
934
00:56:18,176 --> 00:56:20,377
when I sent you the Swiss cheese plant.
935
00:56:23,936 --> 00:56:25,443
It wasn't...
936
00:56:25,866 --> 00:56:29,016
...right for me to send you actual
flower flowers, then.
937
00:56:31,122 --> 00:56:34,403
And it wasn't right for me to do
that for a long, long, time.
938
00:56:34,786 --> 00:56:36,323
No, when I...
939
00:56:36,726 --> 00:56:38,523
I... I never wanted that.
940
00:56:39,446 --> 00:56:41,203
And do you want that, now?
941
00:56:41,866 --> 00:56:44,803
I mean, would you allow that, now?
942
00:56:46,916 --> 00:56:50,243
Because, if you'd let me...
943
00:56:51,546 --> 00:56:54,283
...I would fill your arms with flowers.
944
00:56:54,586 --> 00:56:57,883
Roses, lilacs, lilies...
945
00:56:58,637 --> 00:57:00,376
...and something red.
946
00:57:00,377 --> 00:57:02,626
Like, more roses.
947
00:57:02,627 --> 00:57:04,627
- Red roses.
- Yeah, red roses.
948
00:57:07,346 --> 00:57:09,786
Because, I mean, everybody knows
what they mean.
949
00:57:11,340 --> 00:57:14,723
And I hope very much you know what I
mean, when I do this.
950
00:57:27,306 --> 00:57:32,945
♪ Their heads were veiled,
their lives avowed.
951
00:57:32,946 --> 00:57:36,105
♪ They came to serve the people proud. ♪
952
00:57:36,106 --> 00:57:41,025
The Nonnatus House centenary
celebrations took place
953
00:57:41,026 --> 00:57:43,403
in gently falling rain.
954
00:57:43,637 --> 00:57:46,865
The people, who loved it, stood
shoulder to shoulder
955
00:57:46,866 --> 00:57:49,038
in defiance of the elements,
956
00:57:49,039 --> 00:57:52,763
determined to carry on and regardless.
957
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,279
The weather could not have been more
perfect.
958
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,329
Skies will always shift, seasons
with them.
959
00:58:01,330 --> 00:58:05,360
Days become years, years become decades.
960
00:58:05,361 --> 00:58:09,480
Decades evolve into a century and more.
961
00:58:09,481 --> 00:58:14,639
And all the while, our lives
entwine, and then, unspool,
962
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:19,779
borne on the winds of time and aimed
we know not where.
963
00:58:19,780 --> 00:58:25,903
But we know where we come from and
where our hearts call home.
964
00:58:29,690 --> 00:58:31,689
May I give you a wee bit of advice?
965
00:58:31,690 --> 00:58:33,999
Please do. Polish up your dancing shoes.
966
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,360
Make her feel like she's the only
girl in the world.
967
00:58:36,361 --> 00:58:39,159
Well, how does Cyril feel about that?
968
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,123
I haven't told him yet.
969
00:58:41,870 --> 00:58:44,610
Get away from her. You're hurting her!
970
00:58:44,611 --> 00:58:49,783
I prayed for the intervention of
angels and I have been answered.
