GIRLS GIGGLE

00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,440
MATURE JENNIFER: Everyone needs
a place of safety.

3
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,240
Somewhere that bathes us
in warmth and reassurance.

4
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,480
Hello!

5
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:44,080
Somewhere where the door
is always open

6
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,720
and where it can be closed

7
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,360
<font color="
from harm.

8
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,760
Sometimes a smell or a taste
will take us back to childhood.

9
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,120
A simple dish
can become a talisman,

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,840
warding off the perils
of the world outside.

11
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,800
We all find ways
<font color="

12
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,320
Life can be so bleak
without the benison of shelter.

13
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,000
Good afternoon, Nurse.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,440
I hope you gave it a good wash
this time, Mrs Williams.

15
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,960
SHE LAUGHS

16
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:22,600
Washed and scrubbed,
don't you worry. Thank you.

<font color="

18
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640
He is,
but he's only seeing referrals.

19
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,400
I'd like to see Dr Turner, please.

20
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,280
If I may take your name, Mrs...?

21
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,960
It's Louise Wrigley - Miss.

22
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080
And if I can have
your co-op card, Miss Wrigley?

23
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,360
I don't have one.

been issued with one

25
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,000
when your pregnancy was confirmed.

26
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,560
But that's the whole point.

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,920
I need to see the doctor
to have my pregnancy confirmed.

28
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960
If you're not actually pregnant...

29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,560
No, I am.

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,400
That's why he did the test.
<font color="

31
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
Please, I really have to know.

32
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,440
Oh, very well.

33
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520
If you'll take a seat,
I shall speak with Dr Turner.

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,320
That's another two pounds this week,
Mrs Williams.

35
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,480
Me know, Nurse, but I'm big-boned.

36
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,240
I know it's hard,

37
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120
<font color="
and limit your weight gain.

38
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Did you look at the pamphlet
me did give you

39
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,480
about healthy eating?

40
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,360
Yes, yes. But, er, hope
you don't mind me tell you,

41
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,800
you need to put on some weight,
you look too magga.

42
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,400
<font color="

43
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440
I don't understand.

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
I've seen the test result,
Miss Wrigley,

45
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,480
and it confirmed
that you're not pregnant.

46
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,440
It isn't the news
you were hoping for?

47
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,800
It's not that, it's just
<font color="

48
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,680
It's generally very reliable.

49
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440
But I know how I feel.

50
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,680
I'm feeling sick all the time
and I'm sort of tender, there.

51
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,320
I've got all the symptoms.

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040
I can see why
that might be confusing, but...

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,560
<font color="
Just in case?

54
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,160
We can certainly examine you,

55
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,080
if it would put your mind
at rest. Yes.

56
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,120
Yes, please, Doctor.

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,840
Can you do it now?

58
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Your blood pressure is up
a little, Mrs Williams.

59
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,400
<font color="
a trace of glucose

60
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,920
in your last urine test.

61
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Ah, the nurse said it was
probably the jam jar.

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,840
It's possible, but we'll need
to repeat the test

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,720
and keep a close eye
between now and the birth.

64
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,360
<font color="
trying to do too much.

65
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600
I'm fine, Sister, just tired.

66
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,320
Then, I'm not as young as I was
the last time around.

67
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,160
SHE LAUGHS

68
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,160
And this one

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,760
presses down on my bladder
like anything.

70
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,560
<font color="

71
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Baby's certainly a very good size.

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,760
Hah, the other two were just
the same,

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560
nine pounds, and ten and a half -

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,400
big, bonny and healthy,
the pair of them.

75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,200
That's good to hear.

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,400
Now, while my hand is
<font color="

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,880
I'd like you to slowly sit up for
me.

78
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,160
That's it.

79
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,240
There! I can feel the head
dropping nicely down

80
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,600
into the pelvis.

81
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,280
Hah! At least we know it fit.
It does.

82
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,440
But given Baby's size,

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880
<font color="
for a hospital delivery.

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,680
I told you, Mrs Turner.

85
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,120
I'm having this baby
in my own house.

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,720
I promise you,
you'll receive excellent care

87
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,080
at St Cuthbert's.

88
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,600
I don't doubt it.

89
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,600
<font color="

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240
And Lord knows he does a fine job.

91
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:00,240
But I delivered two babies in
one room with no running water.

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520
I mean to do it properly this time.

93
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Hospital are for sick people.

94
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,160
Babies should be born at home.

95
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,600
Right.

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,200
<font color="

97
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,320
We'll just give you a moment
to slip your things back on.

98
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,800
Please, just tell me.

99
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,120
I'm pregnant, aren't I?

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,880
No, Miss Wrigley.

101
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Having examined you,

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,080
I can say with certainty

103
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,280
that there is no sign
<font color="

104
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,880
I see.

105
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,400
I'll let you get dressed.

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,480
And then if you'd like
to talk further...

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,760
No. Thank you, Doctor.

108
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,040
Miss Wrigley, it's perfectly
natural to feel anxious

109
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,960
about an unexpected pregnancy,

110
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,640
<font color="
options available...

111
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,000
Thank you.

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,560
That won't be necessary.

113
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,480
Bless, O Father, thy gifts to
our use and us to thy service,

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960
for the sake of Jesus Christ,
our Lord.

115
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,600
Amen. Amen.

00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,920
Oh, yes?

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,480
A young curate who requires
temporary lodgings

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,040
before joining his new parish
in Newcastle.

120
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,320
And where will the young
gentleman be sleeping?

121
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,560
He will take the spare room
<font color="

122
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,200
I'm assured he'll be
perfectly happy up there.

123
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Glad to hear it.

124
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,760
Mm!

125
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,760
Is your tooth
still troubling you, Sister?

126
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,360
No, no, no, it's much better,
thank you.

127
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,160
I do not understand.

128
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,960
<font color="
under the misapprehension

129
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,920
that we are some form
of lodging house?

130
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,520
No, he isn't.

131
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,800
But it seemed the least we could do.

132
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,760
Do try and eat something.

133
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,360
I have no appetite for Spam.

134
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,360
I believe the other is fish paste.

00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,280
<font color="
is immaterial.

136
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,480
It does not ameliorate
the blandness of the bread.

137
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920
That was wonderful, Lucille.

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Proper Guyanese pepper pot,
just like my mother used to make.

139

THEY CHUCKLE

You don't need to do that.

We can't leave them
soaking in the sink.

144
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,840
Don't forget
you're living in a church.

145

HE CHUCKLES

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
And wonderful it is, too.

147
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,560
No-one stealing my milk.

Now you're just showing off.

150
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920
I thought it was bad
with three sisters,

151
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920
but if I don't get
in the bathroom before Trixie,

152
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,960
me not get in at all.

153
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,960
I'm sorry, I shouldn't gloat.

154
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Here, I wanted to show you this.

<font color="

156

That's my cousin Rose
and her family.

157

Them the ones who live near Shell
Beach? Mm-hm.

158
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,120
She said the whole family
are going down there

159
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040
for Uncle John's birthday.

160
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,240
They're having

When I was a little girl,

162
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
I always had my birthday party
at the beach.

163
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,240
My mother would make a special
picnic

164
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,080
and we all swimming in the sea.

165
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000
So far from Poplar, that's for sure.

Everton, plate in the sink.

on your feet

all day, Mrs Williams. Uh-uh.

169
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,680
I just run the iron
over a few sheets.

170
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:41,640
Gayle, put these away for me -
third shelf.

171

You have them well trained.

00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,120
A place for everything

175
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160
and everything in its place -

176
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,320
that's what my mother taught me.

177
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,880
Ooh!

178
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,320
Are you very thirsty? Uh-uh.

179
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,760
Uh-uh. I just get hot
when I'm ironing.

180
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,480
<font color="
while you can.

181
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,600
I tell you, Nurse,

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,040
I've been waiting for this
likkle one for so long.

183
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,200
Well, you're three days overdue,

184
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,840
so I doubt you'll be waiting
much longer.

185
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,120
Hello, Nurse.

186
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,560
<font color="
Me like to see her

187
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,360
slowing down a bit.

188
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Mm-hm, I did tell her.

189
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,920
She should put her feet up,

190
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,320
watch that new television I bought
her. Me not want to waste my time

191
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480
watching the television.

192
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,480
<font color="

193
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,800
And, Antony, if you've finished
with the cot,

194
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,440
move it over to the bedroom window.

195
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,040
The midwife don't want
to keep bumping into it

196
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,600
every five minutes.

197
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,960
Mrs Williams, you know I said
that when labour starts,

198
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,640
<font color="
straight to the hospital?

199
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,080
It's safest for you and for Baby.

200
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,880
Well, er, we'll just see how we go.

201
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,960
Ah! Cyril, just the man.
I've got something for you.

202
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Oh, yes?

203
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,440
A bunch of silk flowers.

204
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Oh, Fred, you really are too kind.

205
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,160
<font color="

206
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,280
Mrs Wallace dropped them
in for the church,

207
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,680
asked me to keep 'em safe.
It's much appreciated.

208
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,320
Now, then, Fred Buckle,
what did we say?

209
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,640
This is a newsagent's,
not a lending library.

210
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,840
<font color="
It's just that, um...

211
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,360
Alfie Norris, two weeks owing.

212
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Joe Hinds, three weeks owing.

213
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Yeah, but to be fair,
poor old Joe, he's laid up

214
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:40,360
with the old lumbago, ain't he?
If he can walk to the shop,

215
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,280
<font color="
in his pocket.

216
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,960
You all right there, Cyril?

217
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,000
I just wondered if you might have
such a thing as a picnic basket.

218
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,960
Ah, picnic basket?

219
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Well, I do, as it happens.

220
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,400
Although I couldn't tell you
the last time I used it.

221
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,920
<font color="
for a certain nurse?

222
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,120
Thought I'd surprise Lucille
with a trip to the coast.

223
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Oh, now that is what
I call romantic.

224
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,640
I think you took it down
the shed, Fred.

225
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,440
SHE CLEARS THROAT

00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,960

Sister Frances?

227
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,360
Oh, no. I was just...

228
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,560
I thought we might have
some oil of cloves.

229
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:17,920
Chemist on Commercial Road
is open late.

230
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,960
But you can't avoid the dentist
for ever, you know.

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,760
SHE SIGHS

232
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,360
<font color="

233
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,760
Of course. No, I quite understand.

234
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,280
Well, leave it with me
and I'll see what I can do.

235
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,720
You're welcome.

236
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,520
Everything all right?
That was St Cuthbert's.

237
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,640
One of their Sister Tutors

238
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,480
<font color="
the pupil midwife assessments.

239
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560
I'm going to see if Nonnatus
can spare anyone.

240
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:48,240
They need every extra penny
they can find.

241
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,720
And all the while
the clock is ticking.

242
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,200
Don't, Patrick.

243
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,160
<font color="

244
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,760
In six months' time,
there could be no more Nonnatus.

245
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,560
And what would that mean
for the maternity home?

246
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:03,240
How would we keep it going
without their support?

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,920
We have to pray
it doesn't come to that.

248
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,240
<font color="
will be enough.

249
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Good afternoon.

250
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Good afternoon, Nurse Anderson.

251
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000
I put the special request
to one side for you.

252
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Heaven knows, the additional
income would be welcome,

253
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160
but it's not possible at present.

254
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,680
<font color="

255
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,320
when Nurse Franklin
was at the Lady Emily Clinic,

256
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,560
for all the good it did us.

257
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,160
There has to be something else
we can try.

258
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,560
An avenue
we haven't yet explored.

259
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,160
I hope you're right, but,
<font color="

260
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,520
I'm at a loss to know
what it might be.

261
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,360
KNOCK ON DOOR

262
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Sorry to interrupt,
Sister Julienne,

263
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,200
but I looked into
the spare room on the top floor

264
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,920
and the mice have got into
the mattress.

265
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360
<font color="
to use the camp bed.

266
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,280
Are you expecting a visitor?

267
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,680
A curate. It's a shame we can't
charge for board and lodging.

268
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Oh, Mrs Turner? Might I ask
your opinion on something?

269
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,480
The study found that
<font color="

270
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,440
can develop during pregnancy,

271
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,640
even when a mother has
no history of the condition.

272
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,520
Patients who presented
with excessive weight gain

273
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,320
and glucose in their urine

274
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,440
went on to have much larger babies,

275
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,600
<font color="
in obstructed deliveries.

276
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,280
And this made me
think of Patricia Williams.

277
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,600
She's gained an excessive
amount of weight

278
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,000
and we've seen
a trace of glucose in her urine

279
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,640
on more than one occasion.

280
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,880
<font color="
and I've spoken to Dr Turner

281
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520
about sending her
for a glucose tolerance test.

282
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,280
And her baby is also
measuring very large.

283
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Do you think it's possible

284
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,480
she could have developed
this form of diabetes?

285
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,200
<font color="
a very interesting theory.

286
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,440
True -
that doesn't necessarily point

287
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,240
to an abnormal condition, though.

288
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,800
I know it's only the one study,

289
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,000
but we frequently see
that larger women,

290
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,280
with glucose in their urine,
<font color="

291
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,520
It may simply be linked to
unmonitored weight gain.

292
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,160
But if they were found
to have a form of diabetes,

293
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,080
that might open up the possibility

294
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,760
of treating the condition

295
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,880
and reducing the risk
of complications

296
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,120
<font color="

297
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480
Could prove a very exciting
development,

298
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,160
once it's been thoroughly
researched.

299
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,880
You know, Patrick, I think
I'd like to put myself forward

300
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,320

304
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400
Makes you a natural teacher.

305
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,160
I'm rather rusty, though.

306
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,560
It's been a while since
<font color="

Whyever didn't you drive?

Oh, for the simple reason

318

nothing about it.

Well, then,
if you don't mind my saying,

345

And this morning,

it looked like there was blood.

That's what they said.

00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Then they just sent me home.

354
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,840
Well, first things first,
I'll take a urine sample.

355
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,200
Then, if needs be,

356
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,280
I can ask the doctor to call in
on his rounds.

357
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,640
<font color="
Thank you, Sister.

358
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,680
Hmm, right.

359
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:34,680
Pupil Midwives, I'm Sister Turner,

360
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,800
and I shall be supervising
your work today.

361
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,640
Thank you for being on time.

362
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,040
I consider punctuality
to be the sign

<font color="

364
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,680
Yes, Sister.

365
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,760
Shall we go onto the ward?
I'm sorry, Sister.

366
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,160
Mr Armitage hasn't
finished his rounds yet.

367
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,840
He's always late.

368
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,960
But don't worry, he never stays
very long.

00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,880
<font color="

370
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,680
So, you've mainly been feeling
the pain on the left side?

371
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,480
And in my back.

372
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,120
Have you had any other symptoms?

373
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,200
I've been feeling dizzy

374
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,480
and sometimes it feels like
my heart's going really fast.

375
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,360
<font color="
blood in my urine sample.

376
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:23,520
Your heart rate seems to be
normal at the moment.

377
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,960
Do you think I might need to go
back to the hospital?

378
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480
I don't think that would be
necessary right now,

379
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,360
but I would like to take

00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,480
then I'll run some tests.

381
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,040
Do you live alone, Miss Wrigley?

382
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,280
And, er, are you in work
at present?

383
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,640
I was let go.

384
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,160
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

385
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,520
Mrs Williams, were you here

386
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,800
to see the consultant?
<font color="

387
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,400
Is everything all right?

388
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Three hours I waited,
to be spoken to like that.

389
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,320
I won't be coming here again.

390
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,880
Mr Armitage?

391
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,240
I believe you've just seen

392
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,560
one of my patients, Mrs Williams.

393
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,960
She was referred

394
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720
Ah, yes, well, no surprises there.

Third trimester, severely obese.

396
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,560
I told her she just needs
to eat less.

397
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Only a colleague of mine was reading

398
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,120
a recent study on latent
diabetes in pregnancy...

00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:36,280
<font color="

400
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,840
And I would caution your colleague
in the strongest terms

401
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,920
against confusing her patients
with complicated theories.

402
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:59,800
Oh, Shelagh. You're not still
worrying over it, are you?

403
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,680
The consultant was so rude, Patrick.

404
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,640
<font color="
if that's how he spoke to me,

405
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,680
imagine how he made
poor Patricia Williams feel.

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,280
Still, Mrs Williams won't be
helped by you losing sleep.

Oh, Lucille, my sincere apologies,

00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,920
has become a matter of urgency.

410
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Might I prevail upon you
to forgo your afternoon off

411
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,360
and take over her rounds?

412
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,480
Of course. I only plan
on doing me laundry.

00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Oh, thank you.

Er, if you can tell me
what the problem is?

He came to see me before,

SHE GROANS

528
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,480
What's the matter?

529
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480
SHE GROANS

530
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,480
Oh, it's my leg.

531
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,640
Oh, it's like a spasm in my thigh.

532
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,400
It's all right.
<font color="

533
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,080
They can be terribly painful.

534
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,000
I'm sorry, you need to go.
Oh, I'm afraid I do.

535
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,360
But I'll mop up
that tea before I leave you.

536
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,280
SISTER FRANCES: Sister Monica Joan,
it's time for compline.

537
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,880
<font color="

538
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,520
DOOR SHUTS

539
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,680
All right, Mrs Williams,

540
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,520
the local anaesthetic
should be working now.

541
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,680
This isn't what I wanted.

542
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,600
Just stay nice and calm. No!

543
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,320
The head's still too high.

544
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,360
We shouldn't delay any further.

545
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:39,680
<font color="
please?

546
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,160
What is it? Where's she going?

547
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,560
I'm afraid your baby's
not comfortable, Mrs Williams.

548
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,840
We're going to need to deliver
by Caesarean section.

549
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,240
No, no, no, no, please, no.
Steady now. Now steady.

550
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760
<font color="
will accompany you to the hospital.

551
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,520
SHE GASPS

552
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,800
SHE SCREAMS AND CRIES

553
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,840
Nurse? What's happening?
Is she all right?

554
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Your wife needs a Caesarean section,
so they're taking her into theatre.

555
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:16,960
<font color="
at home.

556
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,640
I know, Mr Williams,

557
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,000
but sometimes we don't get to
decide.

558
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,640
Oh, dear, oh, dear,
what have we here?

559
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,720
I believe a return visit
to the dentist may be in order.

560
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,960
<font color="

561
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,760
Well, I can't send you
on rounds in this state.

562
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,680
Any news?

563
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,720
Patricia Williams' baby was
successfully delivered by Caesarean.

564
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,240
And what was the weight?

565
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,240
13 lb, 8oz.

566
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,600
TRIXIE: Oh, my.

567
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,600
<font color="

568
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,040
was overweight at the start
of the pregnancy

569
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,480
and gained more weight
than recommended,

570
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,000
with several episodes of glycosuria.

571
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,560
But the patient's weight

572
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,080
and the size of the baby
caused the labour to obstruct,

573
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,520
<font color="

574
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,400
Was a head fitting performed at
her last antenatal appointment?

575
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,880
It was, but to quote
an old midwife's adage,

576
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,880
"You may see the size of the field,

577
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,240
"but you can't guarantee
the size of the gate."

578
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Mrs Williams,
<font color="

579
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,920
She's just going to check
your dressing.

580
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,040
Please, when can I see my baby?

581
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,880
We need to keep your baby quiet
in an incubator

582
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,560
for a few days, Mrs Williams,

583
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,160
just while we get his feeding
established.

584
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,520
<font color="

585
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,080
so your incision can begin to heal.

586
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,360
I just want to see him.

587
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,200
I know, but it won't be for long.

588
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,520
As I'm sure Mr Armitage explained,

589
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,520
he won't experience
any long-term ill effects.

590
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,760
He didn't talk to me about my baby.

591
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,760
<font color="
exercised more self-control.

592
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,560
My son could've died...

593
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,520
..and I've no-one but myself
to blame.

594
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,240
As your midwife,
I'm telling you, you did

595
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,800
a wonderful job under
very difficult circumstances.

596
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,840
<font color="
proving rather a puzzle.

597
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,800
Her blood test was negative

598
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,760
and there's no obvious explanation

599
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,760
for the blood in her urine.

600
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,880
Then there are her other symptoms,

601
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,280
the pain and the elevated
heart rate.

602
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,480
<font color="

603
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,360
I'm beginning to wonder if it might
be some form of rheumatoid disease.

604
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,480
Lupus can affect the kidneys.

605
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,000
And there are others
which can cause quite vague

606
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,480
and varied symptoms. Right.

607
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,480
Erm, I did wonder,

608
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,200
<font color="
seemed rather low.

609
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,200
She hasn't any family support
and she's obviously lonely.

610
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,920
You think she may have been
tempted to exaggerate

611
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,600
some of her symptoms?

612
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,160
Well, possibly. The pain in her side
did seem to come and go.

613
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,160
<font color="
in the urine.

614
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,000
Yes, but it is very concerning.

615
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,120
SHE SIGHS HEAVILY
Well, that sounded heartfelt.

616
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,680
Well, with Mrs Turner
otherwise engaged,

617
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,720
her administrative responsibilities

618
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
have fallen to me,
<font color="

619
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,560
Might I suggest a brief respite?

620
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:23,520
Well, I had planned to eat
my sandwiches at my desk.

621
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,480
My friend in Bury St Edmunds
has invited me

622
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,480
to spend a week with her in August.

623
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,440
Oh. Suffolk is a most
attractive county.

624
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,880
<font color="
woman.

625
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,280
My thoughts have also been
turned to travel of late.

626
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,400
I fear I've been sorely perezosa -

627
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,680
lazy -
and neglected my Spanish vocabulary.

628
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,840
Is there a trip in the offing?

629
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000
I should so like to see
<font color="

630
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Next year, perhaps, funds allowing.

631
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,720
How wonderful.

632
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,080
Well, it might make
a nice change from Suffolk.

633
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,040
Nurse! Please can I ju...?

634
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,040
SHE GROANS

635
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Oh, dear.

636
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,760
Sorry. Lucille's had to cover
<font color="

637
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:39,880
Oh.

638
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,920
HE SIGHS

639
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,920
Louise?

640
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,960
Oh, don't bother parking up.

641
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,960
Your presence is required
at young Mr Robinson's flat.

642
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,680
What's all this?

643
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,080
I wanted to take you
to Canvey Island.

644
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,560
<font color="

645
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,760
A picnic by the sea, but, alas,
Sister Frances's toothache

646
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,400
and the English weather
were against us.

647
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,120
I don't really understand.

648
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,520
I got the feeling
you were missing home.

649
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,800
I wanted to try and give you
<font color="

650
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,400
It's a lovely thought.

651
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,200
But it's not the beach
or the weather I miss.

652
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,120
It's hearing you talk about family

653
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,000
and not being able
to get to know them,

654
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,760
or wanting to introduce you
to my sisters

655
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,160
<font color="

656
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,080
It just makes me a bit sad
sometimes.

657
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,400
I know.

658
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,520
BOTH CHUCKLE

659
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,000
I keep thinking how it'd be
if we'd met at church back home.

660
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,440
I'd come calling in my Sunday suit.

661
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,360
Wow! I'd have tried my best

662
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,280
<font color="
on your mother

663
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,960
and talked to your father very
seriously about my prospects.

664
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,520
And he'd have ignored you and
made you wait upon the porch.

665
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,000
I don't doubt it.

666
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,480
But the truth is,
if we hadn't both left home,

667
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000
<font color="

668
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
And it's a long way
from Guyana to Jamaica.

669
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,040
Not quite as far as Poplar.

670
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,720
No, but there are still ways
to bridge the gap.

671
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,160
We only have a camp bed
to offer you,

672
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,640
I'm afraid, Mr Spragg.

673
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,760
<font color="
tell you how grateful I am.

674
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,720
And you must let me
repay your generosity, Sister.

675
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:52,840
Oh, no, that really...

676
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,160
Corpus Christi is almost upon us.

677
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,840
Perhaps I could conduct

678
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,440
a Eucharistic service in the chapel.

679
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,920
<font color="

680
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,800
Yes, that would be wonderful.

681
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,600
I must say,
I'm relieved to find you in.

682
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,880
I've tried to visit several times.

683
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,200
I know, Sister, I'm sorry.

684
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,000
I had some things I had to do.

685
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,720
Well, it's good you felt
well enough to go out.

686
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,160
<font color="

687
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840
And how are you feeling today?

688
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,600
Really bad, Sister.

689
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,480
Just pop this under your arm for me.

690
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,720
I've got such a pain in my head.

691
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,080
And I'm all hot and cold.

692
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,640
Have you been vomiting?

693
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,480
I was sick in the night.

694
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,440
<font color="

695
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,240
When I was sick, it looked like
there was blood in it.

696
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680
I see. That's bad, isn't it?

697
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,600
Not necessarily.

698
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,760
Let me just empty this out.

699
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,360
Are you sure you should be doing
this?

700
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,040
<font color="
this morning

701
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,720
so the nurse said
they can't make me stay.

702
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:15,000
But even so...

703
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,200
I am getting my baby
and I'm going home!

704
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,600
All right, I'll just rinse this out.

705
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,200
My head hurts so much, Sister.

706
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,280
<font color="
Louise?

707
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,280
Nothing, it's just a scratch.

708
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,920
May I see it, please?

709
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,160
How did you do this?

710
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,480
I don't remember.

711
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,960
Louise, when a patient
has blood in their vomit,

712
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,720
it usually looks like
<font color="

713
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,880
But yours was bright red.

714
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,360
More like the blood from a cut.

715
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,360
I don't know what you mean.

716
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,920
Could the blood in the bowl
have come from your finger?

717
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,480
No, of course not.

718
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,040
And what about the blood
that was in your urine?

719
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,760
<font color="

720
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,640
you know that.

721
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,680
I just think it seems strange...

722
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,640
I wouldn't lie about it!

723
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,720
Why would I lie? Why would
I want to be sick if I wasn't?

724
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,240
That doesn't make any sense.

725
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,560
It's all right. It's all right.

726
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,560
<font color="

727
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,440
Truly. I'm not well.

728
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,480
Fred just needs you to choose
some roses for the chapel.

729
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,760
"The Sacraments
were not ordained of Christ

730
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,040
"to be gazed upon, or carried about,

731
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,640
"but that we should use them."

732
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,160
<font color="
to get some fresh air.

733
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,680
We'll all help.
We can even make it like

734
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,160
the flower processions
they have in Spain.

735
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,160
They are Roman Catholic.

736
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,240
I made ginger snaps.

737
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:10,520
SHE SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION

738
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,200
<font color="
to what she's been doing,

739
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,120
but I'm certain of it.

740
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,400
I have to say,
it confirms my suspicions.

741
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,520
I did some ringing around,

742
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,400
and it appears Miss Wrigley
has been seeking treatment

743
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,280
from at least
<font color="

744
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,280
And I dare say providing them

745
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,080
with contaminated samples as well.

746
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,880
But why do it?
What could she hope to gain?

747
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,000
With this type of behaviour,
a lot of it's about attention.

748
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,000
When you're a patient,

749
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,160
<font color="

750
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,640
But to take it to such an extreme?

751
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,600
When people feel desperate,

752
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,920
they resort to desperate measures.

753
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,120
At least now we can try and
get her the help she needs.

754
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,720
The hybrid teas should be out
in full bloom next week.

755
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,800
<font color="
the French Lace floribunda,

756
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,160
and I'm not quite sure whether
they will be out in time.

757
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,640
What do you think, Sister?

758
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:14,440
I think you have little need
of my opinion

759
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,720
but have been told to distract.

760
00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,600
Sister Julienne thought
<font color="

761
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,680
You should talk to her, you know.

762
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,920
About what you told me.

763
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,360
It might help.

764
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Some things exist beyond
the realm of logical debate.

765
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:38,760
The ineffable,
by its very definition,

766
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,160
defies description.

767
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,960
<font color="
things very hard, Miss Wrigley,

768
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,360
and I don't think we've been
helping you in the right way.

769
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,200
Well, that's why I'm going
to see a specialist, isn't it?

770
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,680
So he can find out
what's wrong with me.

771
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,680
<font color="
to a consultant

772
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,440
who deals in renal problems...

773
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,280
Because I'll do whatever it takes,

774
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,360
if I need an operation
or tablets, whatever he says.

775
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,280
I just want to get well again.

776
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,720
I would also like you to see
another specialist.

777
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:18,760
<font color="

778
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,360
..psychiatric disorders.

779
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,000
Why would I do that?

780
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,400
Louise...

781
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,600
..I believe that there are
elements of your illness

782
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,120
that may not be purely physical.

783
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,400
What, so you're saying
it's all in my head,

784
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,200
<font color="

785
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,960
Is that what you told him?
That I'm a liar?

786
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,040
No, no, not at all.
Nobody's calling you a liar.

787
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,840
Far from it.

788
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,080
And I'm not saying
you're not suffering.

789
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,600
The mind is a complex
<font color="

790
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,800
and it needs the same care
as any other organ in the body.

791
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,560
I don't believe this.

792
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,760
I'm in pain all the time.

793
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,560
There's blood in my urine.

794
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,680
I can barely walk, it gets so bad.

795
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,000
And there's the vomiting
and the cramps...

796
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,320
<font color="
to accept,

797
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,800
but I want you to understand
that a mental illness

798
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,720
is no less serious than
a physical one.

799
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:15,040
I don't need a psychiatrist,
I need medical treatment.

800
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,560
Why won't you listen to me?

801
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,960
<font color="
the best way forward.

802
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,440
How bad do things have to be
before you'll help me?

00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
BABY CRIES

804
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,040
Hush.

Hush, sweetheart.

806
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,160
It's all right.

807
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,720
Eh?

Jasmine, you need
to pick him up.

00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,600
You can't hear the baby crying?

814
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,480
Me know,
me just have warmed a bottle.

815
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,400
Be sure it's not too hot.

816
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,960
Watch him head.

817
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,920
Jasmine, you need to watch him head.

Yeah, I'm fine.

You need to tip it more.

Right, if I could have a moment
to examine Mrs Williams, please?

Mr Spragg, I do hope your
accommodation has proven adequate.

830

Yes, thank you, Sister.

831
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,360
The camp bed is extremely
comfortable.

that you have an elderly sister

00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,880
who finds it difficult
to attend chapel,

837
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,080
and I wondered if I might...

838
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,160
..offer my assistance.

Hmm, I'm afraid your wound has

I'll need to prescribe
a course of antibiotics.

00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,400
She all right, Doctor?

844
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,320
It's because she came home
too soon, isn't it?

845
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,920
It would have been better

846
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,200
if she'd been monitored
<font color="

847
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:29,800
But don't worry,

848
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,360
the antibiotics should start
working quite quickly.

849
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,680
Mrs Williams, I know that

850
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,120
while you were pregnant you had
a glucose tolerance test.

851
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,560
That's right. Well,

852
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,320
<font color="
who's gained a lot of weight

853
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,240
to have an abnormal result.

854
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:49,160
But in your case, it's possible

855
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,040
that during your pregnancy,

856
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:52,840
you may have developed a condition

857
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,920
called latent diabetes.

858
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,400
No-one said anything about diabetes.

859
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,800
<font color="

860
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,360
we've only just started
to be aware of.

861
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,080
There hasn't been a lot of
research done about it yet,

862
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,320
but we think it can affect
the baby's development,

863
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,600
causing it to grow larger,

864
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,480
which then makes the delivery
<font color="

865
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,600
So, what, I'm diabetic now?

866
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,240
And what about Paul?
Him diabetic as well?

867
00:44:20,240 --> 00:44:21,960
No, no, not at all.

868
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,120
In both mother and baby, the
condition disappears after delivery.

869
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,920
Your son is perfectly healthy.

870
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,480

I can't feed him, I can't bathe him.

Me know, but it will get easier.

877
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,760
I waited so long.

878
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,600

00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:14,280
Me little miracle, me little Paul.

881
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,120
He's my reward
for all the hard work,

882
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,360
all the years it take

883
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,080
for build a life in this place.

884
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,720
And now, it ruined,

885
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:30,560
as I ruined it.

886
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,520
Mrs Williams, you still have
<font color="

887
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,760
Things may not be
quite the way you wanted,

888
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,400
but it doesn't make
that any less precious.

889
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,520
I've never seen her like this,
Nurse.

890
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,400
Anything goes wrong, Pat's the one
who finds a way forward.

891
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,560
<font color="

892
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,280
you don't always need
a grand gesture.

893
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,920
Sometimes a few
little practical changes

894
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,440
can do just as well.

895
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,320
I would be more than happy

896
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,640
to bring the sacrament to you,
Sister,

897
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:14,600
<font color="
whichever you would prefer.

898
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,480
You are offering to bring me
the Communion for the Sick?

899
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:19,640
Absolutely.

900
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,600
So, you are under the impression
that I am ill?

901
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Well, no, but...

902
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,480
Or perhaps you offer
<font color="

903
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,360
for my final journey to the beyond?

904
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,640
I merely meant,
given your current situation...

905
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,480
Despite my situation,

906
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,760
I can assure you I do not
yet require the Last Rites.

907
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,400
I may be verging on decrepitude,

908
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,560
<font color="

909
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,880
Mr Spragg only wished to include you

910
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,760
in the celebration, Sister.

911
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,000
Louise, it's Sister Hilda.
May I come in?

912
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,040
Louise?

913
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,640
Louise, sit up for me!

914
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,280
MUFFLED GROANS

915
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,720
Louise, how many pills did you take?

916
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,640
<font color="

917
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,520
That's it. There you go.

918
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,240
I knew you'd come.

919
00:48:15,240 --> 00:48:17,360
I'm going to call
for the doctor, all right?

920
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,440
I think she did this on purpose.

921
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,200
She knew I was coming.
I told her I'd bring some food.

922
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,440
Louise desperately needs
<font color="

923
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,360
..and if she won't agree to that,

924
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:40,520
then she'll have to be certified.

925
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,480
It's not something
I ever like to do,

926
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,120
but at least then
I'll be able to arrange

927
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,280
for the Linchmere to admit her.

928
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,760
I doubt they'll be able
<font color="

929
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,320
until the morning.

930
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,080
I'll stay with her.

931
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,800
You said it yourself, Patrick,
you had no choice.

932
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,760
But I know only too well what places
like the Linchmere are like.

933
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,560
Mental illness is exactly that,
an illness.

934
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:09,840
<font color="

935
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,520
But when I think of the kind of life

936
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,920
Louise Wrigley will have now,

937
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,200
the stigma and the hopelessness...

938
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,520
It may be the only possible outcome,

939
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,760
but that doesn't make it a good one.

940
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,760
You said you had something
to show me.

941
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,160
<font color="
No, it sounded important.

942
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:30,920
All right.

943
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,440
Now, this is still very rough.

944
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,960
And it may be a little ambitious,

945
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,800
but I thought, nothing ventured...

946
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,880
What do you think?

947
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,840
I think it's a marvellous idea.

948
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,320
<font color="
an exceptionally clever mother.

949
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,640
CHILDREN: Yay!

950
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,040
SHE GIGGLES

951
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,840
You packed my suitcase.

952
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,240
Just some underthings
and nightclothes.

953
00:50:05,240 --> 00:50:07,280
We'll add your toothbrush
in the morning.

954
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,160
<font color="
you need.

955
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,600
I had to go to hospital
when I was little.

956
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,320
Did you?

957
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,320
For appendicitis.

958
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,480
Mum just said I was making it up.

959
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,200
She said I should stop crying,

960
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,200
or she'd give me something
<font color="

961
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,600
She did, too.

962
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,520
Gave me the strap
and made me stand in the yard.

963
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,880
You poor thing.

964
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,920
The next day, the pain got so bad

965
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,680
I fell down in the street.

966
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,640
That must have been
very frightening.

967
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,920
<font color="

968
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,760
The nurses were so kind.

969
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,240
They put me in a clean nightie

970
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:53,920
and one of them used to sit
and put her hand on my forehead.

971
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,520
And it was so cool and soft.

972
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,600
I felt like nothing bad
could ever happen.

973
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,920
I just wanted to stay there
<font color="

974
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,040
The ambulance is coming, isn't it?

975
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,000
It'll be here first thing.

976
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,600
Just try and sleep.

977
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,520
I'm suggesting we provide
a number of places

978
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,040
for pupil midwives

979
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,360
needing to take part two

980
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,000
of their midwifery training.

981
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,800
<font color="

982
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:31,720
to give them good district
experience.

983
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:33,320
You can just start with one

984
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:34,840
and see how that goes.

985
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,440
But is this something
that the board would consider?

986
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,480
I spoke with the Officer for Health.

987
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,640
There's such a shortage
<font color="

988
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,480
he's extremely keen
to adopt the proposal.

989
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,680
It would come
with substantial funding,

990
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,680
enough to replace
your existing shortfall

991
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,760
and more than cover the increased
rent for Nonnatus House.

992
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,600
<font color="
for bed and board.

993
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,480
And once the individual midwives
are approved,

994
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,320
they'll receive a salary increase

995
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:05,880
for supervising pupils.

996
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,160
EMOTIONAL: Oh, Shelagh...

997
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,400
..I really do believe this might

998
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,000
<font color="

999
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,720
What you doing?

1000
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,640
Just you wait and see.

1001
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,120
Our midwives will have
to have approval, of course,

1002
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,440
and the pupils will require
accommodation,

1003
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,080
which means
a complete reorganisation,

1004
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,840
<font color="
of the Order in Poplar

1005
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,840
is assured for years to come...

1006
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,920
Sister, it is good news, is it not?

1007
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,760
Perhaps, for those
who may live to see it.

1008
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:00,720
Oh, Sister...

1009
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,280
..if only you would
unburden yourself to me.

1010
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,720
<font color="
anything I can to help.

1011
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,320
There can be no help.

1012
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,480
Where there was certainty,

1013
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,200
there is emptiness.

1014
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,240
Where once I heard his voice,

1015
00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:24,440
be it as a whisper or a shout,
now...

1016
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,560
..now there is nothing.

1017
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,080
<font color="

1018
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:37,360
The light by which I led my life...

1019
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:41,200
..it is no more.

1020
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:44,920
And worst of all...

1021
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,160
..I fear it never was.

1022
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,280
Sister...

1023
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:56,000
..a crisis of faith may come
to any of us at any time.

1024
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,600
We must try to look on it
<font color="

1025
00:54:01,240 --> 00:54:04,480
..a chance to examine
how much we are worth

1026
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,600
and how far we can extend ourselves

1027
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,800
in the service and praise of God.

1028
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,200
Then I have failed.

1029
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,440
Hold firm. He will return.

1030
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,280
SOFT GRUNTING

1031
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,040
You all right there, Mr Williams?

1032
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,440
<font color="

1033
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,440
Yes, Nurse.

1034
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,400
Just moving it up to the bedroom.

1035
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,400
Good morning.

1036
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,400
Look like somebody been busy.

1037
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:35,880
Don't look at me!

1038
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,640
I've had no say in the matter.

1039
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,640
Antony raised the base of the cot,

1040
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:41,960
so now she can stroke
<font color="

1041
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:46,360
And we work out a system for
feeding.

1042
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:47,720
See?

1043
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,920
Most ingenious.

1044
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,920
Let me go fetch the milk. Mm-hm.

1045
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,480
Me glad for see you getting back
to your old self, Mrs Williams.

1046
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,440
Oh, we're doing just fine.

1047
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,360
<font color="

1048
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,040
Aren't we, my angel?

1049
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,600
The Lord gave me
three happy, healthy children.

1050
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,200
Don't reckon
I can ask for more than that.

1051
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,040
BANGING

1052
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,920
Will you two watch me paintwork?!

1053
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,440
Antony Williams,
if that is a scratch...

1054
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,280
<font color="
my artistry has limits.

1055
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:41,360
There are no limits when
one seeks to glorify our Lord.

1056
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,800
And you don't think
Sister Monica Joan'll mind

1057
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,160
if we do it for her?

1058
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,480
We simply need to support her
in any way we can.

1059
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,400
<font color="
how many others there must be,

1060
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,440
like Louise Wrigley...

1061
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,480
..who we only encounter
when it's too late.

1062
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,760
There are certainly many
who are fragile and vulnerable

1063
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,280
who go unnoticed.

1064
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,320
But if one could provide

1065
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,120
in that moment of crisis...

1066
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,440
What did you have in mind, Sister?

1067
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,440
I would like to volunteer
for the Samaritans.

1068
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,480
I realise they are a secular
organisation and, of course,

1069
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,680
any involvement would need to take
<font color="

1070
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:30,240
I think it's an extremely valuable
and worthwhile use of your time.

1071
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,360
You've written a letter?

1072
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:38,960
To your parents -

1073
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,160
introducing myself and assuring them

1074
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,240
of my honourable intentions.

1075
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,120
If that's not too forward.

1076
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,480
<font color="

1077
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,520
And I shall tell your mother
as much when I write to her.

1078
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:59,680
HONKING

1079
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,160
MATURE JENNIFER: The world
is not as bleak or as vast

1080
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,520
as we imagine.

1081
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,880
We are stronger than we think,

1082
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,600
and less alone.

1083
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:16,560
<font color="

1084
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,680
..and our barricades.

1085
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:21,800
They are our place of safety.

1086
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,000
Too often we say,
"We're only human,"

1087
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,560
as though humanity is
a small thing, a frail state,

1088
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,160
something feeble and constrained.

1089
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:38,160
But to be human is to embrace
<font color="

1090
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,160
It is not always easy.

1091
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,680
But it can be so very beautiful.

1092
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,920
And so we grow and we nurture.

1093
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,960
We protect and we accept.

1094
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,920
We listen, we witness,

1095
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,840
we learn...

1096
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:04,720
..and we love.

1097
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,960
BELL DINGS

1099
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,360
Everyone calls me Nancy.

1100
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:16,800
Like Nancy Sinatra!

1101
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,880
Would it be possible to speak
with Nurse Franklin?

1102
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,280
This is Nurse Franklin speaking.

1103
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,400
It is lovely having you home, son.

1104
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,000
It's lovely being home.

1105
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,600
I don't care if the Parthenon's
<font color="

1106
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:27,800
it's not a patch on this.

1107
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,200
Yes!
