she's a health visitor

me. What was it?

"A specialist interest

When the real pains start,
they will be much stronger,

All we can do is make sure
the latter doesn't happen.

174
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,520
Fred, your mince
is getting cold.

175
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,919
It's from the authorities. They're
disbanding the Civil Defence Corps.

176
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,839
Well, they've been talking
<font color="

177
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,080
Well, now it's official.

178
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,359
I don't know what I'm
going to do with myself.

179
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,359
I do. You can spend more
time in the paper shop,

180
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,959
and the outside of this
building needs painting.

one sort or another...

182
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920

I just feel...

..finished.

185
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,079
Hmm. These have got worse
with every pregnancy,

186
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,919
haven't they, Greta? I'm shutting
up shop after this one, Dr T.

187
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,359
<font color="
They may not get worse,

188
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,360
but even so, I think we're looking
at surgery within a year or two.

189
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,679
You wouldn't have a look at my
Anita while you're here, would you?

190
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:36,040
It's her mouth. It's got
a great big lump in it.

191
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,080
<font color="

192
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,519
Hmm. It's an abscess in her gum.

193
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,799
I can give her antibiotics
to tackle the infection,

194
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,759
but, really, you need
to get her to a dentist.

195
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,959
We're not with a
dentist, Doctor!

196
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,040
They cost money.

197
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,239

The canape list will include
miniature beef Wellington,

Nurse Crane has a
surprisingly hearty appetite.

204
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,879
And there's your cousin
Venetia. Ah. Of course. Venetia.

205
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,639
I liked her when I met her,
although I think she might

206
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,759
give us some of her
pottery as a wedding gift.

at Peter Jones. It should keep
unsolicited gifts to a minimum.

210
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,959
Dinner service and bedding aside, is
there anything you'd like me to add?

00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,719

00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,799
Golf clubs? Mm. You can't

00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,679
with a set of golf clubs!

214
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:55,679
I'll put a lawnmower down. I expect
we'll have a lawn eventually.

216
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,399
I've crossed Venetia off the list.
And my Uncle Ted and Aunt Maude

217
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,519
will be over from Singapore
at the end of the month.

218
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Meanwhile, there's, erm, afternoon
tea with Fiona's parents.

I know that you've
met them before,

but, er, not as my fiancee...

222
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,280
..or even as my girlfriend.

223
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,999
I've bought a fawn two-piece

Everything's in hand.

225
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,879
Right.

228
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,679
Sometimes it's the level of
overcrowding or untidiness.

229
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,479
Sometimes it's just the smell.

230
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,999
Does Greta Pickard's home smell?

231
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,599
<font color="
Stardrops around the sink,

232
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,599
so I know she's trying,

233
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,439
but the toddlers reek of urine,
so I know she's overwhelmed.

234
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,279
This is exactly the kind of
family a health visitor can help.

00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,199
I grew up in Poplar, so when
I hear the factory hooters

00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,199
and the coal cart going past,

244
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,680
I know I'm home.

Oh, there is no work, Sister.
There's nothing to unload.

Well, there wasn't

That's why it was half-price.

00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,240
Then we realised... we were both
<font color="

341
00:20:24,120 --> 00:20:26,839
I mean, after the war, the
Government was crying out

342
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,879
for teachers, so we became
Miss Macketts and Miss Parris.

343
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,560
I taught physics...

344
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,880
..and she had a flair
for children's art.

345
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,160
That's where the
prisms come from.</font>

346
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,159
It was something we both
had in our classrooms.

347
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,040
I knew the science.

348
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,720
She simply knew that
they were beautiful.

349
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,680
We've spent the last 25
years hiding in plain sight.

350
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,159
Landlady and lodger, usually.

351
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,000
<font color="

352
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,959
We didn't even get a dog

353
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,239
in case it would obey us both
equally and give the game away.

354
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,639
Sorry. You didn't
need to know this.

355
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,080
I think I do.

356
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,399
I'm her nurse, and...

357
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,600
..you make her feel better.

358
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,239
<font color="
don't know who Mrs Saeed is,

359
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,399
but I need to shake her hand.
That was a magnificent curry.

360
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,759
I wish we had
something for dessert.

361
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,080
I got something
better than dessert.

362
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,959
The pictures from
Celine's wedding?!

363
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,879
"Contains photographs.
Do not bend."</font>

364
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,600
THEY CHUCKLE

365
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,039
It's not that I was shocked.
I've heard of lesbians before.

366
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,559
I've just never met any.

367
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,959
You probably have. The thing about
people who lead unusual lives is

368
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,879
they tend to mind
their own business,

369
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,759
<font color="

370
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,519
Is it still illegal,
like it was for men?

371
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,199
Lesbianism has
never been illegal.

372
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,359
So why are they so scared?

373
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:13,919
Because it's not laws

374
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,200
that rule this country,
it's attitudes.

375
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,879
There's no law against unmarried
<font color="

376
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,799
more about that shame than most.

377
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,999
I suppose that's why Olive
doesn't want to die in hospital.

378
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,879
Jessie can't be her next of kin,

379
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,159
so she wouldn't be
allowed extended visiting.

380
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,799
She wouldn't be allowed
<font color="

381
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,959
That's criminal.

382
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,999
Nobody ever forgets what
happens at a deathbed.

383
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,919
It's like you feel everything
ten times more intensely -

384
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,079
the hate and anger and
resentment... as well as love.

385
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Mm.

386
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,160
<font color="
wear yellow with a turquoise hat.

387
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,159
The thing is, a photograph
can't really show you

388
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,240
how yellow or how turquoise.

389
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,680
And I can't tell if Celine's
bouquet has stephanotis in it.

390
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,160
And she is taller than Edwin.

391
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,560
<font color="
just her headdress.

392
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,879
My mother kept hinting he
was small in her letters,

393
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,319
and you can't see how
short his legs are.

394
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,479
Lucille, a man's height
has no bearing on his...

395
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,479
..on his character.

396
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,960
You don't know that.

397
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,240
<font color="

398
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,400
Celine's my sister.

399
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:44,200
I haven't seen her for years.

400
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,160
I've never met her husband.
She has never met you.

401
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,560
We used to plait
each other's hair.

402
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,600
When she was a baby...

403
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,640
..she used to suck my thumb
<font color="

404
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,960
And now we just send photographs
of all the things that matter.

405
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,119
SHE SIGHS

406
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:23,639
Oh, Fiona...

407
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,240
SHE YAWNS

408
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,519
Goodness me, Doctor. Are you
up early or going to bed late?

409
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,879
I was called out
to Olive Macketts'.

410
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,119
<font color="
pulmonary oedema,

411
00:24:39,120 --> 00:24:41,640
so she's going to need
oxygen and diuretics.

412
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,559
Nancy's built up quite
a rapport with them.

413
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,999
Do you want to give her
particular instructions?

414
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,399
You'll need to be
involved, as well.

415
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,400
<font color="
with her most of the time now.

416
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,160
It won't be for long.

417
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Hmm.

418
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,599
I telephoned Phyllis.

419
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,479
I told her you were ill and
you couldn't come in today.

420
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,079
Did you say it
was a tummy upset?

421
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,559
I did.

422
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,119
<font color="

423
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,199
You're not sick, Lucille.

424
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,080
You're just sad.

425
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960
And maybe that needs a
different kind of medicine.

426
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,399
Oh, I'm sorry, Fred.

427
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,759
I mean, I've looked at it
in the dark, in light rain,

428
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,679
<font color="
early-morning sunshine. And?

429
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,559
There is no way on this Earth that
you're painting my shop that colour.

430
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,479
I mean, this is a respectable
neighbourhood haberdashery,

431
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,040
not one of the fleshpots
<font color="

432
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,959
I sometimes have to remind myself
that even moths are God's creatures.

433
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,919
And delayed GPO engineers.

434
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,919
BOTH CHUCKLE

435
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,839
Also bicycles.

436
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,159
Have you not found
one that suits yet?

437
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,599
The problem isn't to do
with</font> <font color="

438
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,199
It's to do with me. I
have health concerns

439
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,359
that mean I must avoid
all vigorous activity.

440
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,119
Mother Mildred said
nothing about this.

441
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:25,519
I really think it might be best
if the Order were to purchase

442
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,199
<font color="

443
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,879
Well, once my programme of home,
school and nursery visits starts,

444
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,799
I could be covering
20 miles a day,

445
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,799
which would be quite a challenge...
on one and a half lungs.

446
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,240
Sister!

447
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,280
<font color="
of a lung removed?

448
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,160
Life in the Far East
can take quite a toll.

449
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,840
SHOP BELL RINGS

450
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,159
Evening, Fred. Got
any Turkish Delight?

451
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,959
Oh, you're trying to butter up
that missus of yours, are you, eh?

452
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:02,919
<font color="
Here y'are, on the house.

453
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,319
Oh, no, Fred.

454
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,879
Here, have it.

455
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:11,479
And, er... got some free paint, too,
if you want it. What sort of paint?

456
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,439
Purplish. You could give the
flat a once-over, if you like.

457
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,959
<font color="
colour it already is.

458
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Fair enough.

459
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,600
HE SIGHS

460
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:29,959
There you are. Nothing like the good
stuff to set you up for the day.

461
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,879
I think the oral morphine
has stopped working.

462
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,039
I was telling Olive
before you came

463
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,279
<font color="
between Ribena and neat whisky.

464
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,399
Are you going now? I just popped
in to make the introductions,

465
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,079
but Nurse Franklin will stay
with you for a few hours.

466
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,799
We're like the Windmill Girls.

467
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,199
Great legs?

468
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,759
<font color="

469
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,479
BOTH CHUCKLE

470
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,440
FRED: Oi! Over here!

471
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,599
Come on, then.

472
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,239
Yes! Bobby Moore!

473
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,399
Yes!

474
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,639
What a shot!

475
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,320
Yeah!

476
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,439
Nobody else about, Sister?

477
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,999
Everyone is engaged.

478
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,239
<font color="
at Nonnatus House.

479
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,239
I have deliberately
sought out honest toil,

480
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,079
lest I be accused of sloth.

481
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,959
You can give the woodwork a
bit of a touch-up, if you like.

482
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,960
Just going to park this paint
<font color="

483
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,560
But this is purple, a colour of
intense ecclesiastical potential!

484
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:46,480
I shall require sandpaper,
brushes... a rag and turpentine.

485
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,520
I have received a letter from
Mother Mildred, and I quote...

486
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,559
.."Sister Veronica came to
the Order</font> <font color="

487
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,439
"and has had no serious illnesses,
hospitalisation or surgeries

488
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:06,279
"in the intervening years. Her
propensity for tactical falsehoods,

489
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,520
"however, remains
an enduring flaw."

490
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,959
She's saying I tell
fibs, isn't she?

491
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,520
Yes, she is.

492
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,959
<font color="
penance every single time,

493
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,279
but sometimes embellishment
is such a useful tool.

494
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,999
SHE GASPS Suggesting
the Order purchase a car

495
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,440
for you is not embellishment.
It's highway robbery!

496
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,599
<font color="
is to convince the people of Poplar

497
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,920
to embrace everything that's
positive, modern and new.

498
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,759
I can't do that on
a 1930s bone-shaker.

499
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,439
Unless you can find some way
of funding an alternative,

500
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,919
<font color="
you will have to.

501
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,759
The minute I saw
those photographs,

502
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,760
all I wanted to do was go home.

503
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,359
Jamaica felt like the
solution to everything.

504
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,359
But you've a home here now.

505
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,720
You've a career and purpose
<font color="

506
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,119
Hiding away won't help
you to believe that.

507
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,640
I know.

508
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,279
And I'm going to go to church
on Sunday and work on Monday

509
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,800
with a smile on my face.

510
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,679
In the meantime, I'm
going to clean this flat.

You've both been so good

00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:18,959
TRIXIE: I should be no
longer than two minutes!

856
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,960
Or possibly three. Mm-hm...

857
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,759
Oh! Mr Aylward, how fortuitous.

858
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,039
I was just waiting
on Nurse Franklin.

859
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,879
<font color="
Perhaps in due course,

860
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,279
you would care to come
and see me at my desk.

861
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,400
I have a request to make
of you as our benefactor.

862
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,879
I shall be telling you
about my pulmonary problems,

863
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,200
so you must steel yourself.

864
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,919

two-piece. What do you think?

865
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,919
Er, it's great. It's great.

866
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,279
I need this to be so
much more than great.

867
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,760
It has to say so many things
when I meet Fiona's parents.

868
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,880
Are you sure you want
<font color="

869
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:11,039
I'm part of their story, too...

870
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,039
..just like Fiona was...

871
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,399
..and just like you are.

872
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,520
And that matters.

873
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,999
Cyril...

874
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,520
..I want to go home.

875
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,719
Just take the sick leave.

876
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:32,799
Sick leave for your nerves,
<font color="

877
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,359
I'm not sick.

878
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,679
I'm sad.

879
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,279
And like you said, maybe that
needs a different kind of medicine.

880
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,760
Going home is not
the answer, Lucille.

881
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,200
I can't leave my job,
not even for a holiday.

882
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:53,200
<font color="
That's where our home will be...

883
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,399
..you and me and...

884
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,920
..whoever God sends
along to keep us company.

885
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,200
Hm?

886
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,840
We'll work on that another time.

887
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,520
You sleep now.

Hey...

892
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,559
Nurse Crane'll go in. She's a
bit of an old iron knickers,

893
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,159
but there's nothing she don't
know about newborns. When my baby

894
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,400
was born, it didn't cry.

<font color="

896
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,680
And now it cries
and I'm not there.

897
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,599
Have you got slippers?

Mrs Patel thought
her baby was crying.

900

No. It's Mademoiselle Marie

902
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,160
Right.

00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:16,840
Thank you.

904
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:26,000
Hussein is not hungry, I think.

905
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:32,440
He's a lovely little thing.

906
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:35,920
And your daughter is beautiful.

I've been down the council and I
got myself a little part-time job.

00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:56,079
It involves a uniform,

913
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,919
and I get to make the world
just a little bit safer.

914
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,239
Doing what?

..a lollipop man!

918
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:18,840
One can understand the
desire for acknowledgement.

919
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,239
My defining relationship
was always with my parents,

920
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:26,399
and it was such a consolation

their daughter on the census.

922
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,839
Olive and Jessie were recorded

923
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,279
as... landlady and
lodger, which is a lie.

924
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,599
She's going to have
to register her death.

925
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,480
What's she supposed to put
<font color="

926
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:48,639
Tell her she can fill in that
section with "present at death".

927
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,240
Present at death?

928
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,919
There's no more intimate
connection, really.

929
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,200

all of us are dust.

Thanks.

We can choose to
