I need someone in my life. I need a girl to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel alright.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Don't somebody tell me what I've done wrong.

What, love?

It gives me great pleasure as Rose Festival Queen to give you a present of

roses. To present you with these roses. To present you with these roses.

Don't forget the curtain, sis.

That's it.

Fetch!

Can I try the dress on again when we get home, love? Of course you can.

Where's that daft dog gone?

Anita, don't be careful. Don't get too close.

Pop! Popsy!

Are you saying I'm not worth a cup of tea after all the things I do for you

girls? What's wrong with Edna's trolley? Well, I couldn't find her.

Cheers.

I hear Lizzie's taking you into the lodger.

She must be desperate.

Very funny.

Doc Goodwin's got her in there as well.

You'll have to mind your P's and Q's then. I know. I've been looking

for you. There's an emergency call.

Right. Excuse me.

Please. Okay, okay. Just stand back, please. Stand back, just to be safe. All

right?

Hey, we'll get to her there. Don't worry.

Okay. There's a young girl on a ledge about 20 feet down.

Doesn't seem conscious.

Losing a lot of blood from somewhere.

Please. Can we get to her?

It won't be easy.

Please. We've got a rope in the van now. I'll have a go. Okay.

Please.

People love to see their floats all decked out for a festival, don't they?

You don't appreciate the ardour's wrath that goes into it.

No, they don't. Hey, gagging for a mug of tea, you don't fancy brewing up any

a minute.

I'm busy.

Why don't you go and get us one off Trolley? Because I can't find Edna, the

girl hadn't turned up.

She won't be turning up any more from what I've just heard.

What?

Papa's given the WRVS the push.

Hey, Steve.

Dig your reels in, all right?

And once I'm down, lower the doctor's bag down, right?

Okay. Let's go.

Be very careful, Frankie.

Jump the building, come on.

Right.

Keep going, mate.

Down we go.

I'm here now.

She's got a nasty wound on her thigh.

The ankle looks like it's broken.

Can you give me instructions?

Look, you lowered him. You can manage me, right?

Sleeper time.

Sleeper time.

I'll pick you up in 20 minutes.

Don't be late.

I'll be as quick as I can.

Okay,

I'm down!

Find those rocks, find them!

Are you okay?

I think I'll be doing this when I have the cornflakes this morning.

Come on, get down.

Alright.

Hello, Anita?

What, yeah.

I'm a sleeper time baby.

Sleeper time.

Oh, I think so.

She's got a lot of blood. We need to get her off here as soon as possible.

Right.

Okay, get the doctor up first and then lower the stretcher down, Steve.

Can we get her off her stretcher?

There's no other way.

Go on, you get up.

On you go.

Everything's going to be all right now, darling.

Look out!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You go with me, Mr. Cotton. Thanks.

Thank you, Paul.

Well done, Frankie.

Thanks.

Mr.

Rose, the maintenance gave you an emergency operation.

A young girl's fallen off a cliff.

Damn fool thing to do.

A head wound. You need to be in casualty. The nun said he had to come in

a doctor.

He fell asleep at the wheel. Only for a second.

What nun?

The one he knocked off a bike.

She's a nurse here.

You put my lights up, Lizzie?

Yeah, a patient of yours, Arthur Graham.

His wife's been on, says he's been chucking up all night.

Well, I'd better get over there, then.

Hang on, Doctor, what about him? He nearly killed a nun on a bike.

Oh, Mrs Sadler, if you both take a seat, I'll see him as soon as I get back.

Come on, then.

Hey, she's in good hands.

Come here.

OK.

Severe laceration to the lower inner thigh, and I think the femoral artery's

been torn.

Possible ankle fracture.

Have you given her analgesia?

Yes, pethidine, 50 milligrams, IVO, 20 minutes ago.

Right, just 0 .6 of a milligram of atropine, please, darling.

That leg's a real bloody mess.

As soon as you can, everyone.

Is that Mrs Graham? I was just on my way to see you. Doctor, I'm so sorry. I

couldn't wait. He's getting worse.

How long has he been shaking like this?

Since after he was sick the second time, middle of the night.

OK, let's get him inside.

Mrs Graham?

There's a brew coming for you, all right?

Do you want to use the telephone? Let your husband know.

I'm divorced.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm not.

She will be all right, won't she?

She's been so excited.

Help me make her dress.

Hardly able to sleep, counting the days.

Hey, come on now.

Come on, she'll be all right.

There you are. I made it myself.

In here, please.

Vending snacks.

I beg your pardon?

Our new drinks vending machine.

Over there.

How serious is it? Might you lose the leg?

Let's just get on with it, shall we?

This is the future of convenience catering.

Well, it won't make tea like Edna does.

It won't block up the corridor's chatting for hours on end, either. Give

Visitors and patients like to natter with her.

One can have one's coffee at the press of a button now, not at the whim of the

town gossip.

I'm hoping it might improve efficiency all round.

Excuse me.

Dr Goodwin's got an emergency admission.

You'll have to wait.

We've done nothing but wait.

Would you swab the wound, please, nurse?

Very, very gently.

Right, let's have a look.

There we are,

thank you.

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, were there any of the symptoms last night?

That he had pins and needles in his mouth and his tongue went numb.

Well, some form of food poisoning seems likely.

Did you eat together last night? Aye.

And you seemed fine?

Well, we didn't eat the same.

He had fish. I ate bread and cheese.

Can't stand fish myself.

Where did you buy the fish? He caught it.

It was fishing.

It was from the big public pond, I think.

Was there any of the fish left over?

Went in bin.

Well, the dustman took that this morning.

All right, then.

Ah, it's nothing.

The patient of yours knocked me off my bike.

Drive an instructor, would you believe?

Oh, Mr Sadler.

Is he sleeping all right? You can't wake him. Snows like a pig.

That's still going on, is it?

Earplugs are useless.

It's like the battle of the thumb.

Well, perhaps you should consider sleeping in another room.

I am in another room. When he snores, walls are no protection.

Was this the first time you've dozed off at the wheel?

Yeah.

I just felt tired, you know. I don't know why you're tired. It's me who gets

sleep.

We'd better admit you for tests.

And then we can make sure you haven't suffered any concussion.

Foot's pinked up nicely.

Dorsalis pedis.

Nice and strong.

Off she goes.

Looks like that arterial graft did the trick.

Right, I've got to catch up on some household.

Excuse me.

I know I don't show my appreciation very often, but you did a terrific job in

there. Thank you.

A young girl like that should have two legs.

How else is she going to catch a husband?

The temperature's quite high, I'm afraid.

I've just been bathing his rash, trying to cool him down.

He said it's very itchy and irritating.

Well, with chickenpox, it usually is, I'm afraid.

But don't worry, Keith.

You're going to be all right.

Um, you've both had chickenpox?

Yeah. I had it as a lad.

Good, good. Right, uh, well, I'll pop in and see him in the morning.

Call me if the fever gets any worse.

Well done, Kate.

That was it.

We need to pin down the cause.

I'd like some blood taken for the lab. A stool nail and hair samples.

I'll organise that, Doctor.

I'd also like some swabs taken from Mr Sadler's mouth.

Can you see to that, sister?

Certainly.

My pleasure.

Swabs?

What does that entail?

Oh, don't worry now, Mr Sadler.

It's not quite as painful as being knocked off your bike.

And just get the instruments.

Anita's recovery will take time and be rather uncomfortable, I'm afraid.

She's alive with both legs.

That's all that matters.

Thank you.

Just thought I'd see how my favourite girl's doing. She'll be fine.

Thanks to you.

You were very brave.

No, that's all part of the service.

The only thing I have to worry about now is telling her she can't be the Rose

Queen anymore.

I'm sure we can work something out.

Don't worry.

Ah, a convert.

Sampling the delights of bendy snacks, eh, hot cake?

There have been complaints, and I'm just testing it for myself.

I've heard no complaints.

Well, you can hear some now.

We're busy enough as it is without making my job work.

How do you mean?

I'm a receptionist, not a flaming change machine.

I've had folk asking me for sixpences all afternoon.

I'm in the firing line here.

One lad got very shirty because he wanted sugar and didn't get any.

Obviously pressed the wrong button.

A woman got soup instead of coffee.

It doesn't do soup.

She said it tasted like it. It's dishwater. You should get rid of it.

Forget that.

You're nothing but a pair of Luddites.

No, we're not. We're a pair of Opkirks.

I'm proud of it.

Has anyone checked out that near to yours yet, sister?

Everyone's too busy to worry about a little thing like this. That's what he

knows as well as I. Being brave isn't always sensible.

Or would you like me to?

Well,

if it's not putting you out, Doctor. No, of course not.

Come on.

Right. Sit yourself down on the couch and, yes, you'd better slip your

off.

Just go through.

I'll close the door.

How do you do?

Right, let's take a look, shall we?

Yes, well, that's a very nasty bruise, isn't it?

How does it feel?

Not too painful?

No, not at all.

Hmm.

Well, it's not too swollen, which seems to suggest that the cartilage isn't

damaged. Just straighten your leg for me, will you, please?

Hmm.

OK.

OK, that's... that's fine.

I think the ligament is just a little strained, which means no running about

a couple of days.

All right, sister?

Any luck, chaps?

Let's have a look.

Ah, good morning, Doctor.

And a fine one it is, too.

Good morning.

So did Mr Sadler keep everyone awake last night with his story? Indeed he did

not. We hardly heard a sound out of you, did we?

When can I go home, Doctor?

There's a few more tests that we need to do today.

I'm suffering from serious boredom. You'll be suffering from more than that

you fall asleep at the wheel again.

Please, just try and be patient.

And Mr Bloom?

Still complaining of double vision.

And he has the numbness in the mouth.

I need to identify what's poisoned you.

Now, if the fish from the public pond were the cause, we'd have added the

Are you sure there's nothing else you can tell us?

OK.

Well, Matron, do we know when Mr Graham's test results will be back?

I marked them urgent. I'll let you have them as soon as they arrive, Doctor.

Thank you.

We take sick pens as only, so there's no point trying to stuff... Kenny's in.

And before you ask, no, I haven't any change.

I wanted to know how my husband is this morning.

Why don't you ask him?

Because he's in hospital here.

Oh, right, sorry.

I'm afraid you'll have to wait for visiting hours.

Ah, Mrs Graham.

Could I have a word?

You see, I don't think those fish could have caused the poisoning.

The ones in the pond seemed quite healthy.

It killed me.

Made me promise to keep my mouth shut.

It didn't come from Pond.

They were fishing on private land.

Poaching. Come in.

Sorry to interrupt, Doctor.

You asked for these test results as soon as they came in. Thank you, Matron.

Mr Graham, the blood tests indicate that you're suffering from mercury

poisoning.

Mercury? I'm going to treat you with penicillamine.

You may feel some side effects. Loss of appetite, disturbed digestion.

Couldn't be any worse than it is now.

It's vital we know how the mercury got into your system.

Your wife mentioned that you were fishing on private land.

We should have no business to shoot her mouth off.

She was doing the right thing.

Right now, I'm not interested in whether you broke the law or not.

I need to know where that fish you ate came from so that we can stop others

being poisoned.

What the hell do you think you're doing here?

Well, I can't understand it. They were perfectly healthy a few days ago.

Whatever's poisoned your fish probably poisoned my patient.

His own fault.

He had no right to be fishing on private property.

Why aren't you concerned about what's causing it?

Of course I am.

And I intend to find out.

But I'm also concerned about illegal fishing in my river.

Mr. Archer, I'd like to take this dead fish and a water sample for analysis, if

I may.

Go ahead.

Well, let's get one thing straight.

When I find out the name of your patient, I intend to prosecute him for

poaching. Just like I'll prosecute whoever caused this.

So, how is the patient today?

He seemed to get better, Doctor.

Well, your temperature's back to normal.

Those spots of yours, well, they're going to itch for some time.

But the good news, Keith, is that you're through the worst of it.

Hmm?

All right?

Taking it tall on us, though.

Barry's been at his side 24 hours.

The same when he was a baby.

Sat up all night, watching over him, many a time.

Is he all right?

Exhausted. Came over with a raging headache.

He's resting up.

He does too much, really.

Well, shall I pop up and see him?

No need.

As I'm here.

She says she's lost a sixpence.

Ah, I see.

So this is it.

He sneaked it in whilst you were away, Mr Middleditch. I did no such thing. It

was sanctioned by the authority.

And it looks like it's gone wrong again.

It has not gone wrong.

Right.

One sixpence.

Watch!

Into the flop.

Select beverage. Tea with sugar.

Press the button.

Simple.

It's a fiddle normally, isn't it, Sheila?

I play rugby regularly.

I'm just tired with tending to our Keith, you know.

Yes, well, he's definitely got a rash, though.

Just a bit run down.

I'm just glad our Keith's going to be all right. That's the main thing.

And your temperature is a little high.

Sorry to interrupt, Doctor. Your surgery's on the phone.

Oh, right.

Thank you.

Stay in bed, keep warm and try and catch up on some sleep.

And maybe give the rugby a miss this weekend.

Don't worry, Doctor.

What's wrong with that?

It doesn't look, smell or taste like tea.

That's what's wrong with it.

Come on, Mr Bridges.

The workforce are unhappy, Mr Middleditch. We want it out. It's

with the workforce. You've got your own kettle.

It'll supply the public under current health authority refreshment guidelines.

We don't need it at the Royal. We need Edna and her trolley.

What do you say, Mr Middleditch?

I say that as you have your own kettle, maybe you'll invite me back to your den

for a decent cup of tea. Yeah.

I've sent samples from the lake to the lab for analysis.

I need you to confirm that's where the fish you ate came from.

I'm not saying anything that'll incriminate me.

My wife should have kept her mouth shut.

You're lucky to be alive.

Other people are at risk.

Was that where the fish came from?

Off the record, yes.

Thank you.

Mr Harper's correct when he says it's a health authority decision.

And I understand it. This is a trial run.

Ah, so it might not be permanent.

Well, that rather depends on how successful the machine proves to be.

Or how unsuccessful.

Exactly.

Excellent cup of tea, this.

Any chance for a top -up?

Oh, sorry to interrupt. I was hoping for a word with Ken.

Your report and repeat prescriptions, Doctor. Thanks, Lizzie.

Right. Oh, be an angel.

Track down Edinburgh and get me a nice cup of tea, will you?

Ah.

Oh.

Shall we go?

Doctor. I'll bring up myself. We'll run to you.

Thanks, Lizzie.

Well, there's a few factories around here that produce a bit of mercury.

There are strict guidelines about how it's disposed of. And a lot of cowboys

the trade. There's money to be made if you do it on the cheap.

Well, there was no sign of dumping in the lake itself, but there was a couple

streams that feed into it.

I thought we might take a look.

Come in.

From Lizzie?

Ah, thank you, sister.

That's most welcome.

Well, one good turn deserves another.

My knee.

Oh, right.

Good.

Was there anything else?

No. No, it mustn't detain you.

Thanks for the tea.

Not at all. All part of my juices.

Oh, no.

Encephalitis.

Doctor?

Have you ever come across a case of that in your wards?

No, I can't say I have.

I thought it was extremely rare.

But I think I may have found a case of it in one of my patients.

Hello.

Hello. Good to see you.

Is it?

You're not having second thoughts about us, are you?

I can't, no. It's like that song said.

Oh,

excuse me.

Have you got a minute?

Just a minute.

Young Anita and this Rose Festival.

Yes. Well, I was wondering if she could still go. In a wheelchair, say.

Because it'd really make her day.

I'll think about it.

And it would be great publicity for the hospital.

Local paper involved.

Pictures of you and her.

Attractive doctor climbs down cliffs to save girls' life. And then ensures she

enjoys a big day. Any decisions regarding Anita will be made on a

medical basis.

OK?

Oh, and for future reference, these corny attempts at flattery may actually

on other susceptible females, unfortunately.

They're entirely wasted on me.

Frankie! I need an ambulance.

Come on.

He tried to get off. He fell over.

Looked like he was having a fit.

He's feverish. What is it?

Better give him something to stop those convulsions.

And then we've got to get him to a hospital.

Fine.

Come on, Ken, let's get back.

There's nothing here.

Hey, what's that?

Well spotted, Ken.

I reckon we've found what we're looking for.

OK, straight.

How's it looking?

It's encephalitis.

He's been in contact with the viricella zoster virus.

His son has chickenpox.

Oh, God.

All we can do now is offer him 24 -hour systemic care and pray.

This is my fault.

Gordon, no, it isn't. You couldn't possibly have known.

I saw him when I visited his son. I was concerned. I came back here to look up

the symptoms.

It was too late.

Damn.

Damn it.

If you've come to plead for your thieving person, Doctor, you can forget

told you.

I'm going to prosecute.

I've come to tell you I've found the source of the pollution.

Well, that's good news.

Somebody's going to get an empty bill from me for restocking this river.

Cans of mercury waste were dumped in a ditch near a stream that feeds into your

river.

Mercury?

I've informed the police.

They're going to contact the factoring responsible.

You what?

This is my company.

This comes from my factory.

But I employ a local firm to dispose of waste products.

Well, they've let you down.

But it was your responsibility to check them out.

Anyway, I have informed the police. They'll be wanting details from you.

You mean I could be held responsible for this?

Possibly.

And if you prosecute my patient for illegal fishing, he may well count a

against you for gross negligence.

Good day.

An inflammation of the brain and central nervous system caused by the chickenpox

virus.

Chickenpox?

I thought you couldn't get that again. He had it as a boy.

Immunity isn't always certain.

He's a very strong man, is my Barry.

He'll be all right, won't he? We're doing everything we can.

But it is very serious.

You don't think he's going to pull through, do you?

We need to bring his temperature down.

Work on his chest as well.

Mercury poisoning is very serious, Mr Graham.

I think I know that.

I nearly died, remember?

Well, you should have been honest with me from the start.

I'm the victim here. What are you having a go at me for?

That lake feeds into a river.

By withholding information, you put a lot of people at risk.

Anyway, they'll have to stay in for some time. It may even take months to fully

recover.

Good -bye, Mr Sadler.

Doctor, I'll just tell you my mate.

How absolutely boring it is in here.

We should try it for a living.

Excuse me, Matron.

I don't know what to do about our Keith.

My neighbour, she can't stay overnight. She has work tomorrow.

We'll call you at once, if there's any change.

I can't take it all in.

You will let me know if... Of course.

Thought I'd stay behind for an hour, see if I can get this finished by tonight.

Good idea.

You like mechanical things.

Cars, engines and that, don't you?

I know a bit about them.

How do vending machines work?

I don't know. I've never driven one.

Come to see how the float's getting on, have you?

I wanted to work with Alan, actually.

Oh, thank you.

I know.

Some boring safety meeting's come up.

Poor you.

I'm sorry. But I promise, I'll make it up to you tomorrow night.

Come later.

You're cheating!

I thought we'd have dinner at my place.

They thank you properly.

Can't wait.

Oh,

Gordon, look at you. You're exhausted.

You need to get some rest. Come home. The nurses will call you if necessary.

I know that.

I just want to see him through.

Look. Even if you'd acted straight away, this virus was in his system. This

isn't your fault, Gordon.

I know that, too.

But it doesn't really help, does it?

It's going to be a long night.

What a racket. Have you tried waking

him up? I'm not going anywhere near him without earplugs.

This is ridiculous.

Mr Sadler! Mr Sadler, wake up!

You're not shaking him, are you?

Nurse,

please, can't you wake him up?

For goodness sake, nurse, can you not wake the man? He's dead to the world.

Mr Sadler, come on, wake up.

No wonder.

Drunk as a load.

Throw a bucket of water over him.

We could put him on a trolley, I suppose. Wheel him out to the car park.

Mr Sadler!

Come on! Wake up!

Oh, you carry on like that, Mr Sadler.

I'll take you down for casualty and I'll have your nostrils stitched up.

Sometimes you just feel so... useless.

I hate this job.

No.

No, you don't.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, Doctor, I managed to get a babysitter for Keith.

Mrs Price.

I'm so sorry, Mrs Price.

We did everything we could.

He would want you to carry on, you know.

He loved his family.

He would have wanted Keith and you to try and be brave now.

Oh, poor Keith.

I don't want him thinking that it was his chickenpox that did this to him.

He's bad enough he lost his dad.

He's lost his dad.

I know.

It will get easier.

It will get easier, Sheila.

I promise you it will. It won't.

So it looks like the snoring is directly linked to the drinking.

So I suggest you cut down on the evening whiskey.

Don't worry. He'll be going on the wagon full time.

You said cut down. You didn't say give up altogether.

I've had enough.

There'll be no alcohol in our house from now on.

I'll cheer up if the snoring stops and you'll both be able to share the same

bedroom again.

Yes, I'm fine.

Oh, I don't know.

Was there really nothing I could have done to you?

Look, transferring him to another hospital wouldn't have made any

You know that, Gordon.

Sometimes there's just nothing we can do.

Is this the kind of thing you had in mind, Doctor?

Oh, Alan, that looks great.

We, um, we thought we'd try and bring a smile to somebody's face.

There you are.

Just the job.

I think she'll be there for the big day then, Doctor.

If we're careful, yes.

But tell me to watch.

They won't let me be Rose Queen in a wheelchair, will they?

Well, probably not.

But you never know.

Come on.

Mr Bridget wants to see you in this.

Some of our health authority are also on the festival committee. Now, Mr.

Middleditch is trying to persuade them that having a royal patient as a Rose

Queen might be good publicity all round, so we'll see. Okay?

Heel to the back.

And here we are again, back in reception.

Well done, TJ.

I must say, the hospital's in tip -shop shape.

Oh, thank you.

Perhaps you'd like some refreshment from our new Vendee Snacks machine?

Ah, Mr Harper encouraged the authority to try this out.

How's the reaction been?

Oh, early days.

Why not try a cup yourself?

I've some change here, if you'd like to give me your orders.

Tea for me, please. One sugar.

Tea's all round?

I'll do it.

Don't make any mistakes.

Deliberate or otherwise, suit yourself.

Mr Harper will take responsibility for your tea.

I take it that you're not too keen on this machine yourself, T .J.? Hospitals

traditionally rely a lot on tea and sympathy.

You can get tea of a kind from that machine, but very little sympathy.

There you are, Mr Hallows.

One tea with sugar.

Thank you.

Oh!

Are you all right, Charles?

Perhaps we should reassess our policy on vending machines.

That's a very wise thought.

Ah, and here she is.

Perhaps I can persuade you then to let Anita still do the honours on the big

day. If you can provide me with a proper cup of tea, you'd take this foul taste

out of me, ma 'am.

You can persuade me to do anything.

Good riddance.

I couldn't put it better myself.

Well, gentlemen, how about a nice cup of tea?

It gives me great pleasure, as Rose Festival Queen, to present you with

roses. Thank you very much.
