1
00:00:27,236 --> 00:00:31,935
Everyone knows that birds migrate...
2
00:00:31,936 --> 00:00:35,949
...but not which country they believe
to be their home -
3
00:00:36,326 --> 00:00:39,885
the hard, hot, cloudless climate of
the south,
4
00:00:39,886 --> 00:00:45,836
or the fragile, grey-white warmth
of our own climes?
5
00:00:45,837 --> 00:00:49,045
But perhaps the birds are simply lucky
6
00:00:49,046 --> 00:00:51,736
they have the best of both worlds.
7
00:01:11,936 --> 00:01:15,325
I spy with my little eye, something
beginning with I, Nancy.
8
00:01:15,326 --> 00:01:16,525
Ladder?
9
00:01:16,526 --> 00:01:17,885
SHE GROANS
10
00:01:17,886 --> 00:01:19,885
These were the best of the bunch.
11
00:01:19,886 --> 00:01:23,125
I thought if the hole was round the
back, the patients wouldn't see it.
12
00:01:23,126 --> 00:01:27,045
You know perfectly well that that
is not acceptable, Nurse Corrigan.
13
00:01:27,046 --> 00:01:29,125
Does anyone have a spare pair?
14
00:01:29,126 --> 00:01:32,210
I always have a spare pair, as Nurse
Corrigan knows.
15
00:01:41,812 --> 00:01:43,012
Sister!
16
00:01:44,412 --> 00:01:46,321
What's the matter?
17
00:01:46,322 --> 00:01:47,931
I...
18
00:01:47,932 --> 00:01:50,371
I just feel so dreadfully...
19
00:01:50,372 --> 00:01:52,962
...dizzy, as though I might be sick.
20
00:01:52,963 --> 00:01:56,083
Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get
you home. You can lean on me.
21
00:01:57,162 --> 00:01:58,321
Oh!
22
00:01:58,322 --> 00:01:59,761
Oh, Miss Higgins,
23
00:01:59,762 --> 00:02:02,681
we've had overnight guests at the
back of the building.
24
00:02:02,682 --> 00:02:04,521
It was meths drinkers, I'm afraid.
25
00:02:04,522 --> 00:02:06,561
I asked them to take their leave
when I arrived,
26
00:02:06,562 --> 00:02:08,601
and they did so with surprising
courtesy.
27
00:02:08,602 --> 00:02:10,731
They've been using the stairwell as
a lavatory.
28
00:02:10,732 --> 00:02:12,401
Reparations are in hand
29
00:02:12,402 --> 00:02:16,031
and hygiene will be restored before
patients arrive.
30
00:02:16,056 --> 00:02:17,476
Thank you, Miss Higgins.
31
00:02:19,042 --> 00:02:21,921
I hope they don't make a habit of
it, Patrick.
32
00:02:21,922 --> 00:02:24,551
We seem to be seeing more of them
round here recently.
33
00:02:24,552 --> 00:02:27,321
It's this new wave of demolitions.
34
00:02:27,322 --> 00:02:30,301
The men tended to gather in the
cellars of the old houses
35
00:02:30,302 --> 00:02:31,761
up around Albany Square,
36
00:02:31,762 --> 00:02:35,251
but with those gone, they'll be
looking for new quarters.
37
00:02:35,252 --> 00:02:37,321
Homelessness is all relative.
38
00:02:37,322 --> 00:02:41,761
I know, but they're so unsavoury
and people are afraid of them.
39
00:02:41,762 --> 00:02:43,172
PHONE RINGS
40
00:02:44,708 --> 00:02:46,938
Good morning, Dr Turner's surgery.
41
00:02:46,963 --> 00:02:48,401
I spoke to the surgery.
42
00:02:48,402 --> 00:02:51,321
Dr Turner's going to come see
Sister Julienne at 11:30am.
43
00:02:51,322 --> 00:02:53,471
Thank you, Nurse Corrigan.
44
00:02:53,472 --> 00:02:56,331
Meanwhile, we have a change of tack
for you this week.
45
00:02:56,332 --> 00:02:59,122
Your debut on the district roster
beckons.
46
00:03:00,452 --> 00:03:02,531
I usually just do midwifery.
47
00:03:02,532 --> 00:03:05,601
That's because you needed to
consolidate your skills.
48
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:07,761
Now you need to expand them.
49
00:03:07,762 --> 00:03:10,481
You're to go with Sister Frances on
the district round.
50
00:03:10,482 --> 00:03:13,281
That means you can help me do the
sputum tests
51
00:03:13,282 --> 00:03:15,201
at the Hostel for Tuberculous Men.
52
00:03:15,202 --> 00:03:17,802
See? It's non-stop glamour.
53
00:03:21,652 --> 00:03:23,761
Midwife calling.
54
00:03:23,762 --> 00:03:25,661
You here to see Maureen? Mm.
55
00:03:25,662 --> 00:03:27,651
She's gone down the launderette.
56
00:03:27,652 --> 00:03:30,651
It's just a routine call.
I shall leave a note.
57
00:03:30,652 --> 00:03:32,681
It's Thelma Haig, isn't it?
58
00:03:32,682 --> 00:03:34,321
I bet you never forget a face...
59
00:03:34,322 --> 00:03:36,011
...or a varicose ulcer.
60
00:03:36,012 --> 00:03:38,251
I thought we'd never see the back of
that one.
61
00:03:38,252 --> 00:03:40,731
I must have been dressing it for
nigh on three months.
62
00:03:40,732 --> 00:03:43,172
Right as ninepence now, thanks to
you, Nurse.
63
00:03:46,349 --> 00:03:47,959
Is she ready, Mrs Haig?
64
00:03:51,169 --> 00:03:53,449
Julie, your manager's here!
65
00:03:58,159 --> 00:03:59,797
I'm off, Mum.
66
00:03:59,798 --> 00:04:01,038
Don't wait up.
67
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:03,088
I'll always wait up. You're my daughter.
68
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:09,697
He's her manager.
69
00:04:09,698 --> 00:04:11,249
I gathered that.
70
00:04:11,608 --> 00:04:13,867
She's blossomed since I last saw her.
71
00:04:13,868 --> 00:04:16,347
Yeah, she never used to look like
anything much
72
00:04:16,348 --> 00:04:17,787
but she could always sing.
73
00:04:17,788 --> 00:04:19,187
I used to say to her all the time,
74
00:04:19,188 --> 00:04:21,757
"You keep up that singing and it'll
bring you opportunities.”
75
00:04:21,758 --> 00:04:24,977
A girl with a gift is a woman with
potential.
76
00:04:24,978 --> 00:04:27,158
Mr Lewin spotted her in a talent show,
77
00:04:27,159 --> 00:04:29,877
and now she sings in clubs all
over town, yeah.
78
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:32,337
She's got a contract to record a single
79
00:04:32,338 --> 00:04:34,867
and he reckons she's in with a
chance of being on the telly,
80
00:04:34,868 --> 00:04:38,158
and if he can make that happen,
well, the sky's the limit.
81
00:04:38,159 --> 00:04:40,827
It's always been just you and her,
hasn't it?
82
00:04:40,828 --> 00:04:42,769
I brought her up on my own, yeah.
83
00:04:43,039 --> 00:04:44,547
You look after each other, now.
84
00:04:44,548 --> 00:04:45,808
We will.
85
00:04:49,678 --> 00:04:51,908
I never heard of a TB hostel before.
86
00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:55,317
I thought everyone with TB went to a
country sanatorium.
87
00:04:55,318 --> 00:04:56,697
It's quite a new idea.
88
00:04:56,698 --> 00:04:58,347
Cheaper probably, but...
89
00:04:58,348 --> 00:05:00,957
...it keeps all the men under one
roof, so we know where they are,
90
00:05:00,958 --> 00:05:02,908
and it's clean, they can be monitored
91
00:05:02,909 --> 00:05:04,909
and we can help them with nutrition.
92
00:05:17,068 --> 00:05:19,039
Where are you?
93
00:05:30,548 --> 00:05:31,758
Eh...
94
00:05:32,828 --> 00:05:34,427
Your blood pressure's normal.
95
00:05:34,428 --> 00:05:37,477
No sign of any swollen glands or fever.
96
00:05:37,478 --> 00:05:40,038
I'm putting my money on labyrinthitis.
97
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:41,908
Is that the inner ear?
98
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:43,908
A mild infection or...
99
00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:46,317
...possibly a bubble in the
vestibular fluid.
100
00:05:46,318 --> 00:05:48,677
The best treatment is rest.
101
00:05:48,678 --> 00:05:51,627
You can draw the curtains if you
feel very dizzy.
102
00:05:51,628 --> 00:05:54,987
Resting and drawing the curtains is
not going to help...
103
00:05:54,988 --> 00:05:56,908
...Nonnatus House run smoothly.
104
00:05:56,909 --> 00:05:58,427
I can see to all of that.
105
00:05:58,428 --> 00:06:00,517
There's even more to do than usual.
106
00:06:00,518 --> 00:06:03,397
I still haven't managed to arrange
the anniversary event.
107
00:06:03,398 --> 00:06:07,597
This month marks 100 years
since the Order came to Poplar.
108
00:06:07,598 --> 00:06:09,117
I specialize in celebrations.
109
00:06:09,118 --> 00:06:10,347
I know you do.
110
00:06:10,348 --> 00:06:12,387
Sister, we've been here before.
111
00:06:12,388 --> 00:06:15,157
You work yourself to a thread time
and time again,
112
00:06:15,158 --> 00:06:16,607
and then what happens?
113
00:06:16,608 --> 00:06:17,919
Threads snap.
114
00:06:19,348 --> 00:06:21,969
One day, we won't be able to mend you.
115
00:06:22,238 --> 00:06:23,969
I will rest...
116
00:06:24,228 --> 00:06:26,089
...for three days.
117
00:06:26,238 --> 00:06:29,117
You will rest for as long as I tell
you to.
118
00:06:29,118 --> 00:06:32,779
And in the meantime, I don't care
who helps you, but someone must.
119
00:06:34,398 --> 00:06:36,909
And you must accept that
with good grace.
120
00:06:40,198 --> 00:06:43,827
I think we need to get the doctor
out to see you, Mr Huntley.
121
00:06:43,828 --> 00:06:47,788
I'm worried about your weight loss
and your weakness.
122
00:06:47,789 --> 00:06:49,627
Nurse Corrigan...
123
00:06:49,628 --> 00:06:52,147
- ...have you collected those samples?
- Al done and dusted.
124
00:06:52,148 --> 00:06:54,707
Nothing like decanting some phlegm
to brighten up a morning.
125
00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:59,427
I need your help turning Mr Huntley
and getting him more comfortable.
126
00:06:59,428 --> 00:07:01,418
He's not doing so well all of a sudden.
127
00:07:04,878 --> 00:07:08,838
Right. One, two, three.
128
00:07:09,828 --> 00:07:12,327
There you go. All done.
129
00:07:12,328 --> 00:07:14,837
You're good girls.
130
00:07:14,838 --> 00:07:16,628
It's all part of the service.
131
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:21,257
My name's Avis.
132
00:07:21,258 --> 00:07:23,417
Joan Avis, Cotton Field Tower.
133
00:07:23,418 --> 00:07:26,137
Our rubbish chute has been blocked
for two weeks
134
00:07:26,138 --> 00:07:28,067
and there's no light bulb in the
stairwell.
135
00:07:28,068 --> 00:07:30,117
Well, I have an evening surgery.
136
00:07:30,118 --> 00:07:32,887
You're welcome to attend, if you'd
like to make a formal complaint.
137
00:07:32,888 --> 00:07:35,707
This is a formal complaint.
I've got my smart coat on.
138
00:07:35,708 --> 00:07:38,867
And please be advised, I shall be
suspending payment of my rates
139
00:07:38,868 --> 00:07:40,557
if matters don't improve.
140
00:07:40,558 --> 00:07:43,788
I'm not quite sure where you think
you are, Mrs Avis, but...
141
00:07:43,789 --> 00:07:45,677
...this isn't the rates office.
142
00:07:45,678 --> 00:07:47,547
Oh, it's not a dressmaker's either.
143
00:07:47,548 --> 00:07:50,118
That hem looks like it was done with
a knife and fork.
144
00:07:54,318 --> 00:07:57,477
We need to go straight to the
phone box and call the surgery.
145
00:07:57,478 --> 00:08:01,307
Mr Huntley's pulse is weak and he's
so debilitated.
146
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:03,517
Shouldn't he be in a hospital?
147
00:08:03,518 --> 00:08:07,287
Well, if he is dying, and I think he
might be dying,
148
00:08:07,288 --> 00:08:09,189
we'll take care of him here in his
own bed.
149
00:08:09,213 --> 00:08:10,479
His own bed?
150
00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:12,928
This is no better than a dosshouse.
151
00:08:12,929 --> 00:08:16,067
The men in here used to be sailors
and labourers, Nancy.
152
00:08:16,068 --> 00:08:18,317
They're too old and too
sick to work now,
153
00:08:18,318 --> 00:08:20,957
and they've no families to turn to
or to take them in.
154
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:23,557
They've been in and out of actual
dosshouses their whole lives,
155
00:08:23,558 --> 00:08:25,077
and I promise you, this is better.
156
00:08:25,078 --> 00:08:26,868
I'm sorry, I just don't see how.
157
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:36,347
And it's an emphatic no to
strawberries and evap
158
00:08:36,348 --> 00:08:37,707
from Sister Julienne.
159
00:08:37,708 --> 00:08:39,147
That bodes ill.
160
00:08:39,148 --> 00:08:43,227
The strawberry is a fruit of which
she has always been extremely fond.
161
00:08:43,228 --> 00:08:46,117
I don't think she fancies trying to
eat them lying down.
162
00:08:46,118 --> 00:08:48,908
She goes dizzy the minute she tries
to lift her head up off the pillow.
163
00:08:48,909 --> 00:08:51,127
I shall be heading
upstairs in short order
164
00:08:51,128 --> 00:08:54,038
to make sure she passes all
responsibilities on to me,
165
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,327
including the centenary celebration.
166
00:08:56,328 --> 00:09:00,437
I think you'll find she refers to
the event as a "commemoration".
167
00:09:00,438 --> 00:09:01,997
Be that as it may,
168
00:09:01,998 --> 00:09:05,677
she can't be setting events in train
from her couch of anguish,
169
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:08,428
and I am content to step into
the breach.
170
00:09:13,934 --> 00:09:17,043
I think, after this, I shall be a
shoo-in for next year's Olympics.
171
00:09:17,068 --> 00:09:18,798
Mexico City, here I come.
172
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,557
Do the Olympics have a medal for
catching and throwing?
173
00:09:21,558 --> 00:09:24,838
Of course, and I'd get a gold medal
with moves like this.
174
00:09:26,508 --> 00:09:28,158
Mummy!
175
00:09:30,678 --> 00:09:33,867
Excuse me, mister, can I have my
ball back, please?
176
00:09:33,868 --> 00:09:36,997
Yeah, you'll have to come fetch it
if you want it,
177
00:09:36,998 --> 00:09:39,877
cos I've got a bad leg.
178
00:09:39,878 --> 00:09:41,327
All right.
179
00:09:41,328 --> 00:09:42,438
Colette.
180
00:09:44,348 --> 00:09:45,757
Come away!
181
00:09:45,758 --> 00:09:47,157
She's all right.
182
00:09:47,158 --> 00:09:49,788
Don't panic, I had her in my sights.
183
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:51,757
The likes of him shouldn't even be
around here.
184
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:53,317
He looks harmless enough.
185
00:09:53,318 --> 00:09:55,589
There is a school over there!
186
00:09:55,758 --> 00:09:57,798
Meths drinkers are like rats,
187
00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:00,118
except the council does something
about rats.
188
00:10:02,278 --> 00:10:05,069
COLETTE: Why does that man smell so
horrible?
189
00:10:05,368 --> 00:10:08,769
He's in the habit of drinking stuff
that's very bad for him.
190
00:10:09,049 --> 00:10:12,227
It has an effect on his blood and
his insides.
191
00:10:12,228 --> 00:10:14,049
So, why does he do it?
192
00:10:14,398 --> 00:10:15,677
I don't know.
193
00:10:15,678 --> 00:10:17,637
He might not know himself.
194
00:10:17,638 --> 00:10:20,489
But you keep away from him and men
like him, do you hear me?
195
00:10:20,848 --> 00:10:22,847
OK, come on. Let's get you a piece
of cake
196
00:10:22,848 --> 00:10:24,509
before I take you back to Auntie Vera's.
197
00:10:24,768 --> 00:10:28,169
♪ Cry me a river
198
00:10:28,568 --> 00:10:31,729
♪ Cry me a river
199
00:10:32,848 --> 00:10:39,488
♪ I cried a river over you
200
00:10:47,598 --> 00:10:54,437
♪ I cried a river over you. ♪
201
00:10:54,438 --> 00:10:57,007
APPLAUSE
202
00:10:57,008 --> 00:10:58,357
Wow!
203
00:10:58,358 --> 00:11:00,298
Wow, girl, they love you!
204
00:11:15,868 --> 00:11:17,627
DOOR OPENS
205
00:11:17,628 --> 00:11:19,369
Oh, Vi.
206
00:11:19,768 --> 00:11:21,447
I was getting worried about you.
207
00:11:21,448 --> 00:11:24,009
You've been cooking fried bread?
208
00:11:24,358 --> 00:11:27,197
It was for you but it was getting cold.
209
00:11:27,198 --> 00:11:30,169
Council meetings don't normally go
on this late.
210
00:11:30,488 --> 00:11:31,889
Well...
211
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,947
...we had a bit of a turn-up for
the books, as it happens,
212
00:11:34,948 --> 00:11:37,767
and we ended up with quite a lot
to discuss.
213
00:11:37,768 --> 00:11:38,918
Oh, yeah?
214
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:40,329
What's that, then?
215
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,609
Lord Stonham has invited us
216
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:46,077
to send a deputation
to the House of Commons.
217
00:11:46,078 --> 00:11:47,388
Oh, what brought that about, then?
218
00:11:47,389 --> 00:11:49,757
You know he started
out in the East End himself,
219
00:11:49,758 --> 00:11:52,517
and we've corresponded with him over
various issues
220
00:11:52,518 --> 00:11:54,227
for the last year or two, and...
221
00:11:54,228 --> 00:11:57,277
...well, he always seemed inclined to
listen to working people.
222
00:11:57,278 --> 00:11:59,477
And now that he's Minister for State,
223
00:11:59,478 --> 00:12:02,037
he wants to hear from us direct.
224
00:12:02,038 --> 00:12:03,487
Are you going to get to go, Vi?
225
00:12:03,488 --> 00:12:06,357
Well, I thought it would be all the men
226
00:12:06,358 --> 00:12:09,637
but they want me to be part of the
deputation.
227
00:12:09,638 --> 00:12:11,647
You say that like you're surprised.
228
00:12:11,648 --> 00:12:13,918
Yeah, well, I'm certainly daunted.
229
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:15,847
All the way home I kept on thinking,
230
00:12:15,848 --> 00:12:18,767
"What am I going to wear?
What am I going to say?
231
00:12:18,768 --> 00:12:22,237
"And what is it that Poplar people
really want?"
232
00:12:22,238 --> 00:12:26,487
If I were you, I would just round
them up and ask them face-to-face.
233
00:12:26,488 --> 00:12:27,669
Mm.
234
00:12:36,288 --> 00:12:39,007
Milk's going on for your Bournvita.
235
00:12:39,008 --> 00:12:41,668
How was it?
236
00:12:41,669 --> 00:12:44,597
You look proper washed-out under all
that panstick.
237
00:12:44,598 --> 00:12:46,678
SHE SOBS QUIETLY
238
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,997
Petal...
239
00:12:48,998 --> 00:12:50,389
...what's up?
240
00:12:50,768 --> 00:12:53,649
I had one of them funny turns onstage.
241
00:12:53,958 --> 00:12:55,997
Everything was just swimming in
front of me
242
00:12:55,998 --> 00:12:57,508
and there was smoke in my eyes,
243
00:12:57,509 --> 00:13:00,769
and the baby was
just kicking and kicking.
244
00:13:01,228 --> 00:13:03,117
You're going to have to tell Mr Lewin.
245
00:13:03,118 --> 00:13:05,517
You haven't even told Jeff and he's
the baby's father.
246
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:07,798
Everything's fizzled out since he
joined the Army.
247
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:09,447
It's like we're just pen-friends.
248
00:13:09,448 --> 00:13:11,228
We've both had our heads in the sand
about this.
249
00:13:11,229 --> 00:13:12,668
Me just as much as you,
250
00:13:12,669 --> 00:13:15,129
cos I've been trying to play things
your way but...
251
00:13:15,309 --> 00:13:16,919
...Julie, you are pregnant.
252
00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:21,969
If I can just keep it
a secret for a bit longer...
253
00:13:27,439 --> 00:13:30,078
You're running a temperature, Julie.
254
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:31,470
I don't think we can.
255
00:13:35,309 --> 00:13:36,629
PHONE RINGS
256
00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:44,798
Good morning. Nonnatus House,
midwife speaking.
257
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:46,589
You were right, Sister Frances.
258
00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:50,164
I was slightly worried about
Mr Huntley at the TB hostel
259
00:13:50,189 --> 00:13:53,709
when I saw him last night, but he
seemed bright enough.
260
00:13:54,129 --> 00:13:57,328
I came back early this morning and
he's really gone downhill.
261
00:13:57,329 --> 00:13:58,848
Does he need someone with him?
262
00:13:58,849 --> 00:13:59,929
Yes.
263
00:14:00,249 --> 00:14:02,699
It could be another 24 hours or so.
264
00:14:03,999 --> 00:14:05,889
You know what it's like, but...
265
00:14:05,914 --> 00:14:07,713
No-one dies alone, Doctor Turner.
266
00:14:08,929 --> 00:14:10,198
Not on our watch.
267
00:14:10,199 --> 00:14:11,969
HORN BEEPS
268
00:14:12,329 --> 00:14:14,488
- Is she all right this morning?
- I'm fine.
269
00:14:14,489 --> 00:14:16,182
She's got a bit of a sore throat.
270
00:14:16,221 --> 00:14:17,428
I'm taking her to the quack
271
00:14:17,429 --> 00:14:19,447
to see if he can give her some sort
of prescription gargle.
272
00:14:19,471 --> 00:14:20,709
Perfect.
273
00:14:21,009 --> 00:14:24,899
Cos I have secured an audition for
a certain young lady for...
274
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:26,568
...Associated Television.
275
00:14:26,569 --> 00:14:27,978
When, Mo?
276
00:14:27,979 --> 00:14:29,829
5pm tomorrow.
277
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:33,249
Hop in, let's make sure we get your
pipes oiled.
278
00:14:40,369 --> 00:14:43,729
Smoking is not permitted in the surgery.
279
00:14:44,209 --> 00:14:46,449
It's a top-quality cigar.
280
00:14:46,859 --> 00:14:49,128
Havanas, Panatellas, Henley's
281
00:14:49,129 --> 00:14:52,178
or roll-ups stuffed with the
cheapest shag...
282
00:14:52,179 --> 00:14:54,409
The same rule applies
and will be enforced.
283
00:14:57,425 --> 00:14:59,334
Look, if we don't get satisfaction here,
284
00:14:59,359 --> 00:15:00,969
I'm taking Julie to Harley Street.
285
00:15:01,369 --> 00:15:02,729
That girl...
286
00:15:03,049 --> 00:15:04,479
...heading for the top.
287
00:15:11,595 --> 00:15:13,384
I'm quite far gone, aren't 1?
288
00:15:13,409 --> 00:15:16,328
I'd put you at 36 weeks, lass.
289
00:15:16,329 --> 00:15:20,208
In other words, you've seen off
eight out of nine months pregnancy
290
00:15:20,209 --> 00:15:22,088
with no medical support.
291
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:25,408
No wonder you're feeling a bit
frayed around the edges.
292
00:15:25,409 --> 00:15:27,609
Will she have hurt the baby, Doctor...
293
00:15:27,890 --> 00:15:29,978
...cramming it flat with that panty
girdle?
294
00:15:29,979 --> 00:15:33,928
We're giving her a thorough
once-over but I doubt it very much.
295
00:15:33,929 --> 00:15:36,978
NURSE CRANE: Doctor's going to have
a feel of your tummy now, Julie.
296
00:15:36,979 --> 00:15:38,289
Usual bloods?
297
00:15:40,619 --> 00:15:43,449
Oh, come on. No tears, now.
298
00:15:43,699 --> 00:15:46,848
We've plenty of time
to get things organised.
299
00:15:46,849 --> 00:15:50,448
She's got an audition for a
television show tomorrow night.
300
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:52,338
SHE MOANS
301
00:15:52,339 --> 00:15:54,578
Oh, no, she hasn't.
302
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:58,929
Because what she has got, I suspect,
is a very nasty water infection.
303
00:16:03,799 --> 00:16:05,649
Is Colette too young for the Judy, Fred?
304
00:16:05,650 --> 00:16:08,498
I wouldn't know.
Reggie's the expert on the comics.
305
00:16:08,499 --> 00:16:10,388
I bet even he don't
read the girls' ones.
306
00:16:10,389 --> 00:16:12,808
I'll get it anyway. Free gift this week.
307
00:16:12,809 --> 00:16:14,698
Nurse Nancy, just the person!
308
00:16:14,699 --> 00:16:17,558
Now, I've arranged an open meeting
at the Institute.
309
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:22,089
Could you deliver some handbills on
your rounds, please?
310
00:16:27,019 --> 00:16:28,448
Do you sell drink?
311
00:16:28,449 --> 00:16:31,049
No, sorry, pal. We don't have a licence.
312
00:16:31,619 --> 00:16:34,609
We do baccy and fags, if you want those.
313
00:16:38,699 --> 00:16:40,409
No, I'll leave it.
314
00:16:40,619 --> 00:16:42,089
Thanks all the same.
315
00:16:45,770 --> 00:16:48,288
He'll probably go straight to the
ironmongers
316
00:16:48,289 --> 00:16:50,078
and buy methylated spirits.
317
00:16:50,079 --> 00:16:52,078
It smells like sewer gas.
318
00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:54,848
I wouldn't light
any matches for a while.
319
00:16:54,849 --> 00:16:56,329
SHE GIGGLES
320
00:16:58,049 --> 00:17:01,289
He would've been a
respectable bloke, once.
321
00:17:01,859 --> 00:17:05,849
Just because he isn't now
doesn't entitle us to laugh at him.
322
00:17:10,439 --> 00:17:11,939
Here, mate.
323
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:15,089
Take these.
324
00:17:17,849 --> 00:17:20,248
It's not got much of a kick to it,
but, you know,
325
00:17:20,249 --> 00:17:22,129
with the warm weather and all that.
326
00:17:22,569 --> 00:17:23,779
Well...
327
00:17:23,780 --> 00:17:25,249
...I won't say no.
328
00:17:25,689 --> 00:17:27,089
Thank you.
329
00:17:31,530 --> 00:17:33,208
She can't be in the family way.
330
00:17:33,209 --> 00:17:35,208
She's... she's been wearing minidresses!
331
00:17:35,209 --> 00:17:37,779
We've built every stage outfit
around the Sandie Shaw look.
332
00:17:37,780 --> 00:17:39,998
She needs bed rest and antibiotics.
333
00:17:39,999 --> 00:17:42,769
They're going to keep her in
overnight in the maternity home.
334
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:45,888
Maternity home! I never even noticed
a blinking thing!
335
00:17:45,889 --> 00:17:48,529
The chances are ATV won't notice either.
336
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:51,498
- She can still do the audition.
- No, she can't!
337
00:17:51,499 --> 00:17:53,808
From now on, my daughter's health
comes first.
338
00:17:53,809 --> 00:17:56,078
I'm not saying never mind about her
health, Mrs Haig.
339
00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,628
But I am saying, what about her future?
340
00:17:58,629 --> 00:18:01,628
I can't market an unmarried mother.
341
00:18:01,629 --> 00:18:04,529
She's already got a
contract for the single.
342
00:18:04,530 --> 00:18:07,149
They'll drop her like a stone
the minute they find out.
343
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,849
Well, then, her future
stops here, doesn't it?
344
00:18:10,169 --> 00:18:12,419
Everything we planned is over.
345
00:18:13,579 --> 00:18:16,328
If she tied the knot with someone,
it would be a different matter.
346
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:18,569
Dare I ask where the father is?
347
00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:20,779
Westfalen, Germany.
348
00:18:20,780 --> 00:18:22,569
He's in the Rifles.
349
00:18:23,219 --> 00:18:24,889
Well, he wants ruddy shooting.
350
00:18:30,019 --> 00:18:32,249
It must be like feeling seasick.
351
00:18:33,609 --> 00:18:38,364
It is, only without the consoling
thought of a holiday destination
352
00:18:38,389 --> 00:18:40,449
at the end of it.
353
00:18:40,809 --> 00:18:42,059
All will be well.
354
00:18:43,585 --> 00:18:48,194
Only I'm not convinced all will be
well in time for the centenary.
355
00:18:48,219 --> 00:18:50,419
Do you have to mark it at all?
356
00:18:52,425 --> 00:18:55,064
There have been so many miracles
along the way
357
00:18:55,089 --> 00:18:57,288
that thanksgiving seems essential.
358
00:18:57,289 --> 00:18:58,489
But...
359
00:18:58,699 --> 00:19:00,888
...we mustn't seem to be patting
ourselves on the back.
360
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:03,418
Sister Hilda seems to be full of ideas.
361
00:19:03,419 --> 00:19:06,708
Sister Hilda is as inventive as she
is enthusiastic,
362
00:19:06,709 --> 00:19:10,219
which I fear will prove a rather
febrile mix.
363
00:19:12,579 --> 00:19:14,539
You, on the other hand...
364
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:17,168
...know us inside and out...
365
00:19:17,169 --> 00:19:20,418
...and can look towards us from the
outside in.
366
00:19:20,419 --> 00:19:23,068
Oh, I hope you're not suggesting
I might take it over.
367
00:19:23,069 --> 00:19:25,888
No, I'm asking you to.
368
00:19:25,889 --> 00:19:30,769
Simple, dignified, loving and truthful.
369
00:19:32,329 --> 00:19:34,699
No-one can do it... better.
370
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,529
I want all of this drunk up
371
00:19:40,530 --> 00:19:43,378
and there'll be another glass of
water with your teatime omelette.
372
00:19:43,379 --> 00:19:45,779
The baby's going to drown
if 1 carry on like this.
373
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:50,498
A regular intake of fluids is just
as important as your antibiotics.
374
00:19:50,499 --> 00:19:53,489
We need to get that
infection on the run.
375
00:19:54,139 --> 00:19:57,168
Yep, you do as the nurse says, girl.
376
00:19:57,169 --> 00:19:59,818
Now I've rearranged the audition
for next week,
377
00:19:59,819 --> 00:20:01,978
you've really got
something to aim towards.
378
00:20:01,979 --> 00:20:03,858
If I may interject,
379
00:20:03,859 --> 00:20:06,878
I think Doctor Turner may be of the
opposite opinion.
380
00:20:06,879 --> 00:20:09,008
I just want to sing, Nurse Crane.
381
00:20:09,009 --> 00:20:13,168
I want to be like Helen Shapiro used
to be, like Shirley Bassey is now.
382
00:20:13,169 --> 00:20:15,458
She's from somewhere no better than
round here,
383
00:20:15,459 --> 00:20:17,218
and they say she's made so much money
384
00:20:17,219 --> 00:20:18,808
she's going to have to live abroad.
385
00:20:18,809 --> 00:20:21,228
There's nothing wrong in wanting to
get on in life.
386
00:20:21,229 --> 00:20:24,498
I transfigured my own
fortunes in my small way.
387
00:20:24,499 --> 00:20:27,248
But you're not going to be playing
The Palladium
388
00:20:27,249 --> 00:20:29,298
when you're 36 weeks gone.
389
00:20:29,299 --> 00:20:31,418
The audition is for the telly
390
00:20:31,419 --> 00:20:34,228
and they can do things
with camera angles.
391
00:20:34,229 --> 00:20:38,938
What you can't do with a camera is
bring an infant into the world
392
00:20:38,939 --> 00:20:42,529
on time, properly nourished and healthy.
393
00:20:43,689 --> 00:20:46,049
You've got work to do, lass...
394
00:20:46,259 --> 00:20:48,329
...and it isn't on the stage.
395
00:20:58,379 --> 00:20:59,579
Hello.
396
00:21:01,149 --> 00:21:03,089
I'm sorry to disturb you.
397
00:21:04,609 --> 00:21:07,009
I'm only listening to the dogs bark.
398
00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:09,769
They do that in the evenings.
399
00:21:09,959 --> 00:21:12,298
They send messages to each other.
400
00:21:12,299 --> 00:21:14,938
I brought you some things that you
might find handy -
401
00:21:14,939 --> 00:21:17,029
a walking stick and a mack.
402
00:21:17,179 --> 00:21:19,178
You'll be too warm
in that overcoat soon.
403
00:21:19,179 --> 00:21:20,808
I don't like to take it off.
404
00:21:20,809 --> 00:21:23,929
A good coat gets to be a friend.
405
00:21:26,509 --> 00:21:28,409
Will you have the stick?
406
00:21:28,819 --> 00:21:30,859
I might give it a try.
407
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,829
I wondered if you'd hurt your foot, sir.
408
00:21:39,059 --> 00:21:40,148
"Sir"?
409
00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:42,048
HE LAUGHS
410
00:21:42,049 --> 00:21:45,749
I'm a nurse. It gives you a knack
with the etiquette.
411
00:21:46,379 --> 00:21:49,818
No, I got shot of my surname years ago.
412
00:21:49,819 --> 00:21:54,989
I just answer to the name of
Bernard, like a dog.
413
00:21:57,899 --> 00:22:00,009
You're from Ireland.
414
00:22:02,049 --> 00:22:03,688
My name's Nancy.
415
00:22:03,689 --> 00:22:06,329
I was born in Cork but I live here now.
416
00:22:06,699 --> 00:22:09,818
My mother was from Skibbereen.
417
00:22:09,819 --> 00:22:12,044
She... she lived here, too.
418
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:14,269
People from our neck of the woods
get everywhere.
419
00:22:14,294 --> 00:22:19,269
When I see things that are yellow
sometimes, I... I think of her.
420
00:22:20,739 --> 00:22:23,378
A painted door, a ribbon on a child...
421
00:22:23,379 --> 00:22:27,298
She... she had eyes the colour of
robins' eggs
422
00:22:27,299 --> 00:22:30,688
but it... it was the yellow things
she loved.
423
00:22:30,689 --> 00:22:32,809
Does that foot hurt you, Bernard?
424
00:22:33,129 --> 00:22:36,328
You could come to the surgery, where
I work, and get it dressed.
425
00:22:36,329 --> 00:22:37,889
No.
426
00:22:38,179 --> 00:22:40,369
I can't... can't even feel it.
427
00:22:42,939 --> 00:22:45,449
It's the best way.
428
00:22:45,859 --> 00:22:47,209
Best way.
429
00:22:47,819 --> 00:22:50,609
Is that the pop that Fred gave you
from the shop?
430
00:22:51,699 --> 00:22:53,289
Might be.
431
00:22:54,099 --> 00:22:58,429
Might be a little bit more to it, now.
432
00:23:00,019 --> 00:23:03,249
You know, I... I was just looking...
433
00:23:04,749 --> 00:23:08,018
...for them little golden flowers.
434
00:23:08,019 --> 00:23:10,289
Not daisies.
435
00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:12,589
The ones that shine.
436
00:23:14,410 --> 00:23:16,748
Butterfingers and all that.
437
00:23:16,749 --> 00:23:18,410
You mean buttercups?
438
00:23:20,189 --> 00:23:21,379
Might do.
439
00:23:26,379 --> 00:23:29,739
I keep looking but I never find any.
440
00:23:32,229 --> 00:23:34,539
I have no objection to Mrs Turner...
441
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:39,308
Doctor's wife, midwife, nurse and,
well, general all-round good egg...
442
00:23:39,309 --> 00:23:41,818
Arranging the centenary celebration.
443
00:23:41,819 --> 00:23:44,228
I have every objection to such an
important role
444
00:23:44,229 --> 00:23:48,569
being assigned to Sister Bernadette,
ex-nun!
445
00:23:49,531 --> 00:23:52,188
Perhaps we can talk about what we're
likely to see the Queen wearing,
446
00:23:52,189 --> 00:23:54,409
during her forthcoming tour to Canada.
447
00:23:54,609 --> 00:23:58,108
I'm always very struck by her
diplomatic choice of colours.
448
00:23:58,109 --> 00:24:00,698
So, I'd anticipate a lot of red
and white
449
00:24:00,699 --> 00:24:03,848
and she might borrow the maple leaf
brooch from the Queen Mother.
450
00:24:03,849 --> 00:24:06,688
I'd just like to see her jazz up her
shoes a bit.
451
00:24:06,689 --> 00:24:09,258
And her bags. I mean, they're all
the same.
452
00:24:09,259 --> 00:24:12,938
Her footwear does seem to be
becoming increasingly conservative.
453
00:24:13,072 --> 00:24:16,793
Once upon a time, it wasn't unusual
to see her in a peep-toe.
454
00:25:00,339 --> 00:25:04,689
Hello. I'd like to enquire about
making an international call...
455
00:25:04,949 --> 00:25:06,299
...to West Germany.
456
00:25:09,363 --> 00:25:10,993
There you go, Albert.
457
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:14,698
That should freshen you up a little.
458
00:25:14,699 --> 00:25:18,378
Albert - it seems so natural now,
459
00:25:18,379 --> 00:25:21,419
even to one from a generation such
as mine,
460
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:23,698
where formal terms prevailed.
461
00:25:23,699 --> 00:25:26,869
A woman's Christian name, when she's
in travail.
462
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:33,748
A man's, when he stands in equipoise
betwixt this life and the next.
463
00:25:33,749 --> 00:25:37,849
You think of his mother choosing it,
don't you, when he was born?
464
00:25:39,569 --> 00:25:44,208
Looking down at his little face and
wondering what would suit him.
465
00:25:44,209 --> 00:25:48,289
I've brought you a Thermos of
minestrone and some Cheddar rolls.
466
00:25:48,499 --> 00:25:52,179
A rather savoury repast for so early
in the day.
467
00:25:56,779 --> 00:25:58,369
Sister Monica Joan...
468
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:00,019
...I think he's going.
469
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:15,529
Depart, O Christian soul, out of
this world.
470
00:26:16,339 --> 00:26:20,848
In the Name of God, the Father
Almighty, who created you.
471
00:26:20,849 --> 00:26:24,308
In the Name of Jesus Christ, who
redeemed you.
472
00:26:24,309 --> 00:26:28,208
In the Name of the Holy Spirit, who
sanctifies you.
473
00:26:28,209 --> 00:26:31,609
May your rest be this day in peace
474
00:26:31,979 --> 00:26:35,098
and your dwelling place in the
Paradise of God.
475
00:26:35,099 --> 00:26:36,469
WHISPERS: Amen.
476
00:26:47,670 --> 00:26:49,489
WHISPERS: Is there anything I can do?
477
00:26:51,929 --> 00:26:53,189
Open the window.
478
00:26:54,739 --> 00:26:56,259
Let his soul out.
479
00:27:02,779 --> 00:27:05,628
Mrs Buckle, what plans has the council
480
00:27:05,629 --> 00:27:08,178
to ensure that the order of
St Raymond Nonnatus
481
00:27:08,179 --> 00:27:11,618
remains at the heart of midwifery
and nursing in this area?
482
00:27:11,619 --> 00:27:15,218
The council makes a significant
contribution to health care
483
00:27:15,219 --> 00:27:16,848
right across Tower Hamlets.
484
00:27:16,849 --> 00:27:21,648
My understanding is that there are
no plans whatever
485
00:27:21,649 --> 00:27:24,778
to change the funds already allocated.
486
00:27:24,779 --> 00:27:28,208
But, in the centenary year of the
Order's arrival in the area,
487
00:27:28,209 --> 00:27:31,549
is Lord Stonham even aware of the
extent to which a vital service
488
00:27:31,550 --> 00:27:35,539
has to rely on religious charity and
private donations?
489
00:27:35,540 --> 00:27:40,289
I can certainly ensure that it is
brought to his attention.
490
00:27:40,290 --> 00:27:46,148
No-one's higher up in the nun's fan
club than me, Mrs Buckle.
491
00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:48,388
I've had five kids with them...
492
00:27:48,389 --> 00:27:51,789
Four in my own bed and one in the
air raid shelter.
493
00:27:53,899 --> 00:27:56,571
They are the best of the East End.
494
00:27:56,596 --> 00:27:57,648
CROWD: Hear, hear!
495
00:27:57,649 --> 00:28:00,978
And what I want to know is, what
are you going to do about the worst?
496
00:28:00,979 --> 00:28:02,988
Well, I think you're going to need
to define
497
00:28:02,989 --> 00:28:04,988
what you mean by "the worst",
498
00:28:04,989 --> 00:28:08,898
if I'm going to answer that question
in a satisfactory manner.
499
00:28:08,899 --> 00:28:14,068
I mean cars all over the bombsites,
with God knows who living in them,
500
00:28:14,069 --> 00:28:16,938
people keeping goats in their back yards
501
00:28:16,939 --> 00:28:19,648
and meths drinkers in every doorway.
502
00:28:19,649 --> 00:28:24,164
One cannot be oblivious to the
presence of unsavoury elements
503
00:28:24,189 --> 00:28:25,468
throughout the borough,
504
00:28:25,469 --> 00:28:29,008
which appears to be the direct
result of the chaos
505
00:28:29,009 --> 00:28:31,299
caused by the housing programme.
506
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:35,978
Will you be asking Lord Stonham how
this can be remedied?
507
00:28:35,979 --> 00:28:39,828
We all have grave concerns about
housing, Miss Higgins.
508
00:28:39,829 --> 00:28:44,258
I have grave concerns about people
using my stairwell as a khazi.
509
00:28:44,259 --> 00:28:46,378
CROWD MURMURS IN AGREEMENT
510
00:28:46,379 --> 00:28:49,938
Your concerns have been noted and
will be passed on,
511
00:28:49,939 --> 00:28:54,138
when the deputation visits the House
of Commons.
512
00:28:54,139 --> 00:28:56,588
My mum thinks you should've kept
me in longer.
513
00:28:56,589 --> 00:28:58,409
You're doing very nicely.
514
00:28:58,410 --> 00:29:01,468
If this were a test at school, you'd
be top of the form.
515
00:29:01,469 --> 00:29:03,049
That would be a first.
516
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:07,908
Can I do classes in what to expect?
517
00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:10,008
I feel like I've got to make up for
lost time.
518
00:29:10,009 --> 00:29:12,938
The only thing you've got to do is
stop berating yourself.
519
00:29:12,939 --> 00:29:14,769
There's no harm done.
520
00:29:15,109 --> 00:29:17,468
And you can't turn back the clock.
521
00:29:17,469 --> 00:29:20,778
You don't understand. I've got to be
fantastic at this.
522
00:29:20,779 --> 00:29:23,138
Like I've always had to be fantastic
at everything.
523
00:29:23,139 --> 00:29:25,108
Why do you think that?
524
00:29:25,109 --> 00:29:27,828
Because my dad ran out on me after
I was born.
525
00:29:27,829 --> 00:29:30,299
The only thing he left behind was
the colour of my skin.
526
00:29:30,300 --> 00:29:32,289
He also left your mother.
527
00:29:32,290 --> 00:29:35,708
And she's given you enough
determination, love
528
00:29:35,709 --> 00:29:39,839
and willpower to make up for any
deficit of his.
529
00:29:40,859 --> 00:29:42,069
Now...
530
00:29:42,909 --> 00:29:45,628
...I'll talk you through what to
expect, shall 1?
531
00:29:45,629 --> 00:29:47,728
KNOCKING
532
00:29:47,729 --> 00:29:51,938
Mr Lewin, you're intruding upon
a professional consultation.
533
00:29:51,939 --> 00:29:55,008
I've actually come in search of a
professional consultation
534
00:29:55,009 --> 00:29:57,149
about residential nurseries
for the nipper.
535
00:29:57,173 --> 00:29:58,276
I beg your pardon?
536
00:29:58,300 --> 00:29:59,988
What's a residential nursery?
537
00:29:59,989 --> 00:30:04,299
A select, fee-paying facility, where
babies can reside all year round.
538
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:06,289
Now, we can pick up where you left off.
539
00:30:06,290 --> 00:30:08,268
I've even got contacts at
Search For A Star.
540
00:30:08,269 --> 00:30:10,549
Out of this young lady's bedroom, now!
541
00:30:10,550 --> 00:30:13,478
She may have decisions to make about
her future,
542
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:17,549
but she also has a mind and opinions
of her own.
543
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:20,659
I've been her manager for a year.
Do you think I don't know that?
544
00:30:23,019 --> 00:30:26,018
Julie, if we don't sort this out,
545
00:30:26,019 --> 00:30:28,089
none of this will ever come your way
again.
546
00:30:37,259 --> 00:30:38,988
Jeff, what are you doing here?
547
00:30:38,989 --> 00:30:40,268
Well, what do you think?
548
00:30:40,269 --> 00:30:43,188
As soon as you told me, I couldn't
get to the boat train fast enough.
549
00:30:43,189 --> 00:30:45,369
I didn't even change out of my uniform.
550
00:30:45,550 --> 00:30:47,469
Oh, have a heart, Thelma.
551
00:30:47,659 --> 00:30:48,909
Let me in.
552
00:30:50,829 --> 00:30:53,068
Jeff, why aren't you in Germany?
553
00:30:53,069 --> 00:30:54,289
Because of this.
554
00:30:57,601 --> 00:30:58,897
Is she having it now?
555
00:30:58,922 --> 00:31:02,708
NURSE CRANE: No, although I can't
vouch for how the day will unfold,
556
00:31:02,709 --> 00:31:04,969
if we are subject to any more drama.
557
00:31:07,329 --> 00:31:09,648
I brought Lucille's lacquer.
558
00:31:09,649 --> 00:31:13,585
You can immobilise Big Ben with what
she's sprayed on her barnet already.
559
00:31:13,586 --> 00:31:14,745
It's a windy day
560
00:31:14,746 --> 00:31:17,185
and we're having our photograph
taken with Lord Stonham.
561
00:31:17,186 --> 00:31:19,296
Have you got the French chalk?
562
00:31:19,297 --> 00:31:20,655
Where's the kid gloves?
563
00:31:20,656 --> 00:31:23,185
On the kitchen table. The mark is on
the thumb.
564
00:31:23,186 --> 00:31:25,569
Just pretend you're spraying a car.
565
00:31:26,626 --> 00:31:28,985
You have to stay calm, Mrs Buckle.
566
00:31:28,986 --> 00:31:30,575
You're looking elegant and dignified
567
00:31:30,576 --> 00:31:32,705
but it's not your appearance that
matters today,
568
00:31:32,706 --> 00:31:34,345
it's about what you are going to say.
569
00:31:34,346 --> 00:31:36,815
That's exactly why the backs of my
knees have turned to water.
570
00:31:36,816 --> 00:31:38,725
Why, when all you have to do is tell
the truth
571
00:31:38,726 --> 00:31:41,426
and ask the questions that matters
on behalf of the people you love?
572
00:31:41,427 --> 00:31:43,575
You make it sound so easy, Cyril.
573
00:31:43,576 --> 00:31:47,049
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy,
but you know...
574
00:31:47,586 --> 00:31:51,136
...it can be quite simple, if you
just speak from your heart.
575
00:31:58,986 --> 00:32:00,296
Garnets?
576
00:32:00,297 --> 00:32:02,268
They're your birthstone, if you're
born in January.
577
00:32:02,269 --> 00:32:05,455
I was going to get you a diamond but
that's the birthstone for April
578
00:32:05,456 --> 00:32:07,209
and I thought it might be unlucky.
579
00:32:07,906 --> 00:32:10,815
I've applied for a special licence.
580
00:32:10,816 --> 00:32:12,729
It only takes a few days.
581
00:32:12,986 --> 00:32:14,552
Please...
582
00:32:14,553 --> 00:32:16,049
...please, say yes.
583
00:32:16,337 --> 00:32:18,376
At least it'll make having gone AWOL
worthwhile.
584
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,833
AWOL?
585
00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:22,056
You've come here absent without leave?
586
00:32:22,057 --> 00:32:23,376
What did your mum say?
587
00:32:23,377 --> 00:32:25,989
She thinks they've let me home on
compassionate grounds.
588
00:32:27,137 --> 00:32:28,257
I panicked.
589
00:32:30,264 --> 00:32:31,689
Jeff...
590
00:32:32,257 --> 00:32:34,846
...what if I say yes and I make you
miserable?
591
00:32:34,847 --> 00:32:38,136
Well, I keep telling myself how much
more miserable I'd be,
592
00:32:38,137 --> 00:32:42,129
knowing our little titch was getting
name called for being a bastard.
593
00:32:43,017 --> 00:32:45,392
You had it just as bad as me, didn't
you, Jeff?
594
00:32:45,416 --> 00:32:46,829
Almost.
595
00:32:50,418 --> 00:32:52,577
Let me be a man who does the decent
thing.
596
00:33:05,617 --> 00:33:09,217
Would the delegation from Tower
Hamlets please come with me?
597
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:15,929
Greetings.
598
00:33:16,288 --> 00:33:19,257
I imagine you've come to confer with
Sister Julienne.
599
00:33:30,217 --> 00:33:31,626
I approve of all of it.
600
00:33:31,627 --> 00:33:33,157
Even the balloons?
601
00:33:33,158 --> 00:33:36,616
Especially the balloons. So much of
our work has been about children,
602
00:33:36,617 --> 00:33:39,616
why not do something that will make
them smile?
603
00:33:39,617 --> 00:33:41,647
Sister Hilda, would you like to see
this?
604
00:34:01,737 --> 00:34:03,569
This all seems most...
605
00:34:03,937 --> 00:34:05,269
...acceptable.
606
00:34:06,777 --> 00:34:11,136
But what, may I ask, is item 10...
Surprise?
607
00:34:11,137 --> 00:34:13,246
I can't say.
608
00:34:13,247 --> 00:34:16,436
All of this is in the manner of a
gift to you.
609
00:34:16,437 --> 00:34:18,289
To the whole Order.
610
00:34:18,527 --> 00:34:23,369
And it doesn't seem right to unwrap
every element at once.
611
00:34:24,627 --> 00:34:26,297
DOOR OPENS
612
00:34:26,298 --> 00:34:28,489
Violet, you're home!
613
00:34:28,897 --> 00:34:32,376
The minister gave us a full 40
minutes of his time.
614
00:34:32,377 --> 00:34:33,696
That's good, isn't it?
615
00:34:33,697 --> 00:34:37,668
We discussed play streets,
playgrounds, unlicensed dogs,
616
00:34:37,709 --> 00:34:39,287
and what's going on at Tilbury Docks.
617
00:34:39,288 --> 00:34:41,468
Well, no-one likes the sound of
those containers coming in.
618
00:34:41,469 --> 00:34:44,348
And then, finally, we looked at a
plan of action
619
00:34:44,349 --> 00:34:46,516
against the meths drinkers.
620
00:34:46,517 --> 00:34:50,056
Councillor Finney persuaded the
minister that what we really need
621
00:34:50,057 --> 00:34:54,529
is to increase police powers of
arrest and dispersal.
622
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:57,056
All that's going to do is move them on
623
00:34:57,057 --> 00:34:58,988
and make them somebody else's problem.
624
00:34:58,989 --> 00:35:02,007
Oh, half the time, that's what
politics is, Fred.
625
00:35:09,937 --> 00:35:12,538
Good afternoon, sir. May I be of
assistance.
626
00:35:12,539 --> 00:35:14,220
Um... Yeah.
627
00:35:14,221 --> 00:35:17,500
There's a... there's a nurse, who
works here, name of Nancy.
628
00:35:17,501 --> 00:35:20,548
You can't have him in here. It's
insanitary!
629
00:35:20,549 --> 00:35:23,880
I'm afraid Nurse Corrigan is not on
the premises today.
630
00:35:23,881 --> 00:35:28,569
I will confer with Dr Turner, if you
would like to wait outside.
631
00:35:28,801 --> 00:35:32,320
No, it... it's not bad enough for a
doctor.
632
00:35:32,321 --> 00:35:35,329
No, I'm... I'm happy with the nurse.
633
00:35:44,361 --> 00:35:46,330
Sorry for dragging you out, Fred.
634
00:35:46,331 --> 00:35:49,130
Nothing much scares me, but on my own,
635
00:35:49,131 --> 00:35:52,929
I can't vouch for Nurse Corrigan's
safety in this set-up after dark.
636
00:35:53,162 --> 00:35:56,289
And I suspect she's the only one
this man will trust.
637
00:35:57,371 --> 00:36:00,130
- What's this?
- Eucalyptus ointment.
638
00:36:00,131 --> 00:36:02,189
Rub it underneath your nose.
639
00:36:02,731 --> 00:36:06,060
It's a trick I learned years ago,
going into dosshouses.
640
00:36:06,061 --> 00:36:09,210
What is it about drinking meths that
makes them like this, Doc?
641
00:36:09,211 --> 00:36:11,049
If you mean the smell,
642
00:36:11,282 --> 00:36:15,049
the raw alcohol is rotting their
flesh from the inside out.
643
00:36:15,251 --> 00:36:19,520
Some of them will have gastritis
and soil themselves constantly,
644
00:36:19,521 --> 00:36:22,590
and their legs are probably covered
in ulcers.
645
00:36:22,591 --> 00:36:24,250
Poor sods.
646
00:36:24,251 --> 00:36:27,650
If you mean why are they confused
and incoherent,
647
00:36:27,651 --> 00:36:30,580
it's because the alcohol is damaging
their brains,
648
00:36:30,581 --> 00:36:32,529
possibly even blinding them.
649
00:36:32,721 --> 00:36:35,769
Why is there nowhere for these
people to go and get treatment?
650
00:36:36,011 --> 00:36:39,800
There is no treatment and they
wouldn't go.
651
00:36:39,801 --> 00:36:42,090
They cling to each other
652
00:36:42,091 --> 00:36:45,969
and the few small things that still
feel familiar.
653
00:36:47,221 --> 00:36:49,609
Everything beyond that is the void.
654
00:36:49,971 --> 00:36:53,249
And in the one place they can bear
to be...
655
00:36:53,861 --> 00:36:55,422
...nobody even wants them.
656
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:01,240
- I got the licence.
- I got the dress.
657
00:37:01,241 --> 00:37:03,004
Me and Mum nipped up to Venus Modes
658
00:37:03,029 --> 00:37:04,840
and bought a little white number off
the peg.
659
00:37:04,841 --> 00:37:07,411
- Hat to match, and all.
- Oh, can I see it?
660
00:37:07,412 --> 00:37:08,930
No.
661
00:37:08,931 --> 00:37:11,490
It's like diamonds when you're born
in January...
662
00:37:11,491 --> 00:37:12,861
unlucky.
663
00:37:14,211 --> 00:37:16,651
I hope you aren't planning on
wearing that shirt.
664
00:37:30,091 --> 00:37:31,491
Bernard?
665
00:37:37,961 --> 00:37:40,450
It's Nancy, the nurse.
666
00:37:40,451 --> 00:37:43,291
You asked for me at the surgery but
I wasn't there.
667
00:37:43,292 --> 00:37:44,530
I've brought the doctor.
668
00:37:44,531 --> 00:37:46,360
I don't need the doctor.
669
00:37:46,361 --> 00:37:47,800
Now, I reckon you do.
670
00:37:47,801 --> 00:37:52,810
But I'm just junior, he knows more
than me, which isn't difficult.
671
00:37:52,811 --> 00:37:56,660
If you'd let the nurse just ease
your shoe off, have a quick look,
672
00:37:56,661 --> 00:37:59,140
I won't interfere, unless it's
necessary.
673
00:37:59,141 --> 00:38:03,209
I've heard of a thing called antibions.
674
00:38:03,451 --> 00:38:05,090
Antibiotics?
675
00:38:05,091 --> 00:38:06,930
Mm, we've tonnes of them.
676
00:38:06,931 --> 00:38:09,970
Pills, lotions, liquid, solid.
677
00:38:09,971 --> 00:38:12,860
- Probably even gas.
- Just her.
678
00:38:12,861 --> 00:38:14,141
Right.
679
00:38:15,811 --> 00:38:18,009
Let's ease this off, then.
680
00:38:18,381 --> 00:38:22,409
My mother, right, she used to be a
Lady's maid.
681
00:38:23,302 --> 00:38:26,029
The family, who she worked for,
682
00:38:26,182 --> 00:38:30,769
they used to have their shoes
handmade in Piccadilly.
683
00:38:41,731 --> 00:38:45,809
His.. his foot's come off with the shoe.
684
00:38:55,011 --> 00:38:57,309
I'm... I'm sorry, Bernard.
685
00:38:58,681 --> 00:39:00,169
I'm sorry.
686
00:39:00,531 --> 00:39:02,570
I didn't feel a thing.
687
00:39:02,571 --> 00:39:04,169
You wouldn't.
688
00:39:04,571 --> 00:39:06,101
You've got gangrene.
689
00:39:27,451 --> 00:39:29,389
What will they do at the hospital?
690
00:39:29,731 --> 00:39:31,289
Amputate...
691
00:39:32,182 --> 00:39:34,489
...somewhere below the knee, if he's
lucky.
692
00:39:36,052 --> 00:39:38,450
If he'd led a different sort of life,
693
00:39:38,451 --> 00:39:42,249
he'd stand a decent chance of being
fitted with an artificial leg.
694
00:39:42,961 --> 00:39:44,908
That's not going to happen,
695
00:39:44,909 --> 00:39:48,609
because of the thing that got him in
this state in the first place.
696
00:39:48,941 --> 00:39:50,529
The drink?
697
00:39:51,042 --> 00:39:52,409
The drink...
698
00:39:52,731 --> 00:39:54,741
...and everything that made him drink.
699
00:39:56,461 --> 00:39:59,589
Smoking can cause arteriosclerosis.
700
00:39:59,811 --> 00:40:02,381
A bad diet can cause diabetes.
701
00:40:03,931 --> 00:40:07,929
Both can lead to loss of circulation
and dry gangrene.
702
00:40:09,941 --> 00:40:12,380
But only catastrophic self-neglect
703
00:40:12,381 --> 00:40:14,969
can result in a sight like we've
just seen.
704
00:40:15,371 --> 00:40:17,369
It didn't even seem to hurt him.
705
00:40:18,491 --> 00:40:20,331
It was as though he hardly cared.
706
00:40:21,771 --> 00:40:24,649
And that is the most painful thing
we ever see.
707
00:40:28,841 --> 00:40:31,250
I can't stop asking myself.
708
00:40:31,251 --> 00:40:35,730
I mean, why is it that I bend over
backwards for some people
709
00:40:35,731 --> 00:40:37,690
and not for others?
710
00:40:37,691 --> 00:40:41,460
And all for the sake of what,
a well-kept street?
711
00:40:41,461 --> 00:40:43,970
I can't say I'm keen on driving
those poor men
712
00:40:43,971 --> 00:40:45,400
as far away as possible.
713
00:40:45,401 --> 00:40:47,260
It's not about what I want, is it?
714
00:40:47,261 --> 00:40:49,520
It's about what my constituents want.
715
00:40:49,521 --> 00:40:52,120
I mean, I am in the service of others,
716
00:40:52,121 --> 00:40:55,970
however unfortunate that may be in
this instance.
717
00:40:55,971 --> 00:40:57,840
What about Bernard?
718
00:40:57,841 --> 00:40:59,941
Isn't he your constituent, too?
719
00:41:03,941 --> 00:41:05,211
Knock, knock.
720
00:41:06,577 --> 00:41:09,666
Bernard, it's Dr Turner.
721
00:41:09,691 --> 00:41:11,540
We met last night.
722
00:41:11,541 --> 00:41:12,989
Do you work here?
723
00:41:13,014 --> 00:41:14,652
No, but...
724
00:41:14,811 --> 00:41:16,769
...I'm good at sneaking in.
725
00:41:16,941 --> 00:41:20,301
And there is a lady, who wanted to
visit you.
726
00:41:20,302 --> 00:41:21,731
Is it Nancy?
727
00:41:23,241 --> 00:41:25,370
I'm Councillor Buckle.
728
00:41:25,371 --> 00:41:26,889
Violet.
729
00:41:27,121 --> 00:41:29,609
I'm so sorry for your troubles.
730
00:41:29,841 --> 00:41:32,760
...I brought you a small parcel of
essentials
731
00:41:32,761 --> 00:41:35,900
from the Pensioners' Benevolent Society.
732
00:41:35,901 --> 00:41:37,409
Oh, I don't get a pension.
733
00:41:37,681 --> 00:41:39,569
I lost me cards.
734
00:41:39,841 --> 00:41:41,468
Is there something wrong with me
735
00:41:41,469 --> 00:41:45,690
cos I keep thinking I ought to want
to drink?
736
00:41:45,691 --> 00:41:49,560
They're giving you medication to
take the edge off any cravings.
737
00:41:49,561 --> 00:41:52,410
Yeah, they took me leg off too,
didn't they?
738
00:41:52,411 --> 00:41:53,828
Not all of it.
739
00:41:53,829 --> 00:41:57,409
According to the staff nurse, you've
still got your knee joint.
740
00:41:58,201 --> 00:42:00,229
I always wanted to disappear.
741
00:42:01,312 --> 00:42:03,620
Looks like I'm doing it bit by bit.
742
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:05,201
HE LAUGHS
743
00:42:12,131 --> 00:42:14,260
This is not something I get to say
every day,
744
00:42:14,261 --> 00:42:16,820
but we have a bride in labour.
745
00:42:16,821 --> 00:42:19,169
Events have taken something of a turn.
746
00:42:19,481 --> 00:42:24,210
And are we to book the lady in
question in as Miss Haig or Mrs...?
747
00:42:24,211 --> 00:42:27,610
...Lilly. My client is in fact a
married woman, now.
748
00:42:27,611 --> 00:42:30,480
We told the registrar to keep
proceedings brief.
749
00:42:30,481 --> 00:42:32,169
I love you, Julie.
750
00:42:33,661 --> 00:42:35,571
COUGHING
751
00:42:42,851 --> 00:42:46,090
They won't let me smoke. It's making
me cough.
752
00:42:46,091 --> 00:42:48,210
Pneumonia's making you cough.
753
00:42:48,211 --> 00:42:50,890
- Is it?
- Mm, it's in your notes.
754
00:42:50,891 --> 00:42:52,889
I took a shufty at them.
755
00:42:53,341 --> 00:42:57,850
Is pneumonia when your lungs fill up
with water?
756
00:42:57,851 --> 00:43:01,210
Well, it's an acute lower
respiratory infection,
757
00:43:01,211 --> 00:43:03,129
involving the alveoli.
758
00:43:03,741 --> 00:43:05,989
But, yeah, it comes to the same thing.
759
00:43:06,131 --> 00:43:09,049
Ah, I can go along with that.
760
00:43:09,331 --> 00:43:11,489
They're giving you medicine for it.
761
00:43:11,781 --> 00:43:13,449
My mother drowned...
762
00:43:13,922 --> 00:43:15,489
...in a canal.
763
00:43:15,981 --> 00:43:17,700
She left her handbag on the side
764
00:43:17,701 --> 00:43:20,189
and there were three ha'pence in her
purse.
765
00:43:21,211 --> 00:43:24,460
They gave me the coins to take to
the industrial school
766
00:43:24,461 --> 00:43:27,109
but the matron robbed them...
767
00:43:28,371 --> 00:43:30,810
...and I've been grubbing about in
the dirt,
768
00:43:30,811 --> 00:43:32,969
looking for pennies ever since.
769
00:43:35,461 --> 00:43:37,331
I lost my mother when I was a child.
770
00:43:39,741 --> 00:43:42,049
I'm a mother myself, now.
771
00:43:42,401 --> 00:43:44,741
Does it make things better?
772
00:43:48,621 --> 00:43:49,691
Yeah.
773
00:43:54,021 --> 00:43:56,001
PIANO PLAYS
774
00:43:58,501 --> 00:44:02,490
I'm sorry, Miss Higgins, but if this
is to be set to "Repton”,
775
00:44:02,491 --> 00:44:05,400
I don't think that's
the appropriate key.
776
00:44:05,401 --> 00:44:08,540
It's the key I sang it in, when I
was writing the verse.
777
00:44:08,541 --> 00:44:11,850
Miss Higgins, the words are your domain.
778
00:44:11,851 --> 00:44:13,551
The music is mine.
779
00:44:18,491 --> 00:44:20,131
PIANO PLAYS
780
00:44:30,491 --> 00:44:33,549
I joined the Navy when I was 14.
781
00:44:33,851 --> 00:44:36,129
That didn't make it better.
782
00:44:36,491 --> 00:44:39,249
I started with the booze at 16.
783
00:44:39,561 --> 00:44:42,100
That didn't make it better, either.
784
00:44:42,101 --> 00:44:44,370
You certainly gave it enough of a
chance.
785
00:44:44,371 --> 00:44:46,209
The war made it worse.
786
00:44:47,627 --> 00:44:51,749
Living a life at sea in peacetime
made it worse.
787
00:44:52,281 --> 00:44:56,409
Every year, every day, I needed
something stronger...
788
00:44:56,611 --> 00:44:58,186
...and I just tramped about.
789
00:44:59,547 --> 00:45:01,249
Went all over...
790
00:45:01,531 --> 00:45:06,740
Land's End to John O'Groats, like a
ship avoiding harbour.
791
00:45:06,741 --> 00:45:08,089
And then...
792
00:45:08,621 --> 00:45:10,009
...in the end...
793
00:45:10,271 --> 00:45:11,770
...I came home.
794
00:45:11,771 --> 00:45:13,489
Home to Poplar.
795
00:45:13,851 --> 00:45:16,009
Where I lived with my mother.
796
00:45:16,741 --> 00:45:19,820
It was like I could see her
footprints on the pavement
797
00:45:19,821 --> 00:45:21,580
and hear her voice.
798
00:45:21,581 --> 00:45:23,729
IN IRISH ACCENT: "Let's see if you
like butter.”
799
00:45:24,491 --> 00:45:27,289
And the tickle of the flower
underneath me chin.
800
00:45:27,741 --> 00:45:30,089
"Yes... yes, you do."
801
00:45:33,651 --> 00:45:37,411
One way or another, I've been trying
to drown myself for 40 years.
802
00:45:39,261 --> 00:45:41,569
Now, I have the pneumonia...
803
00:45:42,461 --> 00:45:43,651
...I can stop.
804
00:45:53,491 --> 00:45:56,250
I'm sorry about the smell of dog dirt.
805
00:45:56,251 --> 00:45:59,409
I'm trying not to spray it around
with the brush.
806
00:45:59,866 --> 00:46:03,449
After the stenches I've encountered
in the last few days, it's nothing.
807
00:46:08,182 --> 00:46:09,889
How do you do it?
808
00:46:10,371 --> 00:46:11,650
Do what?
809
00:46:11,651 --> 00:46:12,829
This job.
810
00:46:13,141 --> 00:46:15,830
Seeing people so...
811
00:46:15,831 --> 00:46:18,780
...broken and in so much want?
812
00:46:18,781 --> 00:46:21,729
You have to sidestep want most of
the time.
813
00:46:21,911 --> 00:46:25,289
Just concentrate on providing what
they need and that's...
814
00:46:26,182 --> 00:46:29,449
...just love, most of the time.
815
00:46:38,771 --> 00:46:41,300
I just want it to be all right, Nurse.
816
00:46:41,301 --> 00:46:44,309
Not too weak or too small or too poorly.
817
00:46:44,901 --> 00:46:46,290
Come on, precious.
818
00:46:46,291 --> 00:46:49,140
You're using up all your strength
with all this crying.
819
00:46:49,141 --> 00:46:51,300
And I don't want any more contractions.
820
00:46:51,301 --> 00:46:54,210
Nobody said how much they were going
to hurt!
821
00:46:54,211 --> 00:46:57,890
Julie, if we can get you nice and calm,
822
00:46:57,891 --> 00:47:00,544
we will have a try with the gas and
air with the next one,
823
00:47:00,545 --> 00:47:02,571
and I promise that will really help.
824
00:47:02,572 --> 00:47:06,542
But first, let me get you a nice,
cool cloth to bathe those eyes.
825
00:47:09,169 --> 00:47:13,389
No wonder she's in no frame of mind
for this, with all their fretting.
826
00:47:13,782 --> 00:47:17,163
And she's had no time whatsoever
to prepare.
827
00:47:17,188 --> 00:47:18,389
I'm scared.
828
00:47:18,889 --> 00:47:21,851
Everybody is scared of things
they've never done before
829
00:47:21,852 --> 00:47:23,731
but that's where we come in.
830
00:47:23,732 --> 00:47:26,901
We've done this time and time again,
haven't we, Nurse Crane?
831
00:47:26,902 --> 00:47:28,581
I delivered my first baby
832
00:47:28,582 --> 00:47:31,649
before Shirley Temple was top of the
hit parade.
833
00:47:32,813 --> 00:47:35,012
SHE SHRIEKS
834
00:47:38,502 --> 00:47:40,169
Here we go, precious.
835
00:47:40,372 --> 00:47:43,441
You do exactly as I tell you, and I
promise,
836
00:47:43,442 --> 00:47:45,612
the difference will be like night
from day.
837
00:47:47,933 --> 00:47:49,732
JULIE SCREAMS
838
00:47:53,732 --> 00:47:57,809
I brought us all some pie and mash
and a bottle of champagne for later.
839
00:47:58,452 --> 00:47:59,729
Vintage.
840
00:48:00,142 --> 00:48:02,449
I just hope we've got something to
celebrate.
841
00:48:02,702 --> 00:48:04,262
It's coming too early, Mo.
842
00:48:05,502 --> 00:48:10,729
I've never known a girl push
so strongly and with such control.
843
00:48:11,732 --> 00:48:14,541
Every time you push, I can see a bit
more of the head.
844
00:48:14,542 --> 00:48:16,652
You're doing so well, lass.
845
00:48:23,652 --> 00:48:25,172
And the head is with us.
846
00:48:30,512 --> 00:48:32,172
See how well you've done?
847
00:48:34,432 --> 00:48:38,261
The baby's head's starting to turn
now, just one last push, Julie.
848
00:48:38,262 --> 00:48:40,302
Give it all the strength you've got.
849
00:48:41,813 --> 00:48:43,171
SHE SHRIEKS
850
00:48:43,172 --> 00:48:44,551
BABY CRIES
851
00:48:44,552 --> 00:48:45,803
Hello.
852
00:48:56,372 --> 00:49:00,209
May I introduce you to your daughter?
853
00:49:00,462 --> 00:49:02,009
BABY CRIES
854
00:49:02,222 --> 00:49:04,011
She's beautiful.
855
00:49:04,012 --> 00:49:06,171
And that was... that was...
856
00:49:06,172 --> 00:49:07,912
How about fantastic?
857
00:49:11,478 --> 00:49:14,249
So many men are psychologically damaged.
858
00:49:15,732 --> 00:49:17,169
Loss or...
859
00:49:17,422 --> 00:49:18,452
...poverty.
860
00:49:20,372 --> 00:49:22,372
Always, always war.
861
00:49:25,172 --> 00:49:28,142
When I got back from Italy, I was
encouraged to talk.
862
00:49:29,933 --> 00:49:31,712
Maybe I didn't talk enough.
863
00:49:33,813 --> 00:49:36,889
Maybe I could've talked more about
talking...
864
00:49:37,862 --> 00:49:39,532
...but I was healed.
865
00:49:42,662 --> 00:49:44,943
People like Bernard never get that
chance.
866
00:49:47,998 --> 00:49:51,329
We are all the things that have
happened to us, aren't we?
867
00:49:51,542 --> 00:49:53,891
I keep thinking about that all the time,
868
00:49:53,892 --> 00:49:56,489
while I've been organising the
centenary.
869
00:49:57,102 --> 00:49:59,569
All the things I was part of...
870
00:50:00,063 --> 00:50:02,609
...and how those things became a part
of me.
871
00:50:02,823 --> 00:50:05,009
We've been so lucky, haven't we?
872
00:50:12,232 --> 00:50:15,091
One for posterity, in case the press
ever ask.
873
00:50:15,092 --> 00:50:16,431
What are you going to call her?
874
00:50:16,432 --> 00:50:18,009
Nicola Samantha.
875
00:50:18,252 --> 00:50:19,312
I love it.
876
00:50:27,943 --> 00:50:29,351
Is it all right to come in?
877
00:50:29,352 --> 00:50:31,809
Please, do. There's no-one we can
send for.
878
00:50:33,732 --> 00:50:35,089
Mother...
879
00:50:35,732 --> 00:50:38,581
- ...is that you?
- You're out of luck, love.
880
00:50:38,582 --> 00:50:41,009
But I brought you some flowers.
881
00:50:45,422 --> 00:50:48,101
I've been crawling all over the
bombsites with a nun,
882
00:50:48,102 --> 00:50:49,529
looking for these.
883
00:50:49,813 --> 00:50:51,369
I hope you're grateful.
884
00:50:56,512 --> 00:50:58,581
It's not right, is it, Nurse Crane?
885
00:50:58,582 --> 00:51:01,611
It's a tiny bit on the high side.
886
00:51:01,612 --> 00:51:04,942
Little lass might have picked up
a mild infection.
887
00:51:04,943 --> 00:51:06,161
What will you do?
888
00:51:06,162 --> 00:51:08,141
Will you send her to hospital?
889
00:51:08,142 --> 00:51:12,152
I'm going to telephone Dr Turner
and we'll see what he advises.
890
00:51:21,892 --> 00:51:23,813
I can see it glowing against your skin.
891
00:51:25,502 --> 00:51:29,209
Brightest gold you ever saw, like a
coin...
892
00:51:29,512 --> 00:51:30,929
...or a Fairy Flag.
893
00:51:36,631 --> 00:51:38,569
WHISPERS: Shall we see who likes butter?
894
00:51:42,092 --> 00:51:45,129
Oh, you do, Bernard.
895
00:51:45,879 --> 00:51:47,089
You do.
896
00:51:58,652 --> 00:52:00,501
I don't want her to go.
897
00:52:00,502 --> 00:52:02,209
I'm her mother.
898
00:52:02,472 --> 00:52:04,609
And you're a very good one,
899
00:52:04,982 --> 00:52:08,369
which is why you know you have to
let her get the best of care.
900
00:52:18,197 --> 00:52:20,197
Will you leave the buttercups with him?
901
00:52:20,222 --> 00:52:21,742
He loved yellow things.
902
00:52:44,823 --> 00:52:48,072
I'm the only person who's crying
for him in the whole world.
903
00:52:48,073 --> 00:52:49,369
No, you aren't.
904
00:52:52,872 --> 00:52:55,611
These readings are going up and up,
Julie.
905
00:52:55,612 --> 00:52:58,549
I don't want to have to ask Doctor
for a sedative.
906
00:52:58,823 --> 00:53:02,511
Baby will be back in your arms in a
day or two, I'm sure.
907
00:53:02,512 --> 00:53:04,651
And what's going to happen, then?
908
00:53:04,652 --> 00:53:08,091
I hand her over to my mum, put on my
glad rags,
909
00:53:08,092 --> 00:53:10,231
paint my face and go out singing?
910
00:53:10,232 --> 00:53:13,702
You're under contract to Mr Lewin
and to the record company.
911
00:53:13,703 --> 00:53:16,849
My contract is with my daughter.
912
00:53:19,062 --> 00:53:21,421
Sincere apologies for any disturbance,
913
00:53:21,422 --> 00:53:23,689
but two gentlemen have called for
Mr Lilly.
914
00:53:30,929 --> 00:53:36,309
♪ Something happened to my heart
the day that I met you
915
00:53:36,512 --> 00:53:41,901
♪ Something that I never felt before
916
00:53:41,902 --> 00:53:47,061
♪ You are always on my mind no
matter what I do
917
00:53:47,062 --> 00:53:51,822
♪ And every day, it seems I want
you more
918
00:53:51,823 --> 00:53:57,391
♪ My love is warmer than the warmest
sunshine, softer than a sigh
919
00:53:57,392 --> 00:54:04,251
♪ My love is deeper than the deepest
ocean, wider than the sky
920
00:54:04,252 --> 00:54:07,861
♪ My love is brighter than the
brightest star
921
00:54:07,862 --> 00:54:10,021
♪ That shines every night above
922
00:54:10,022 --> 00:54:16,792
♪ And there is nothing in this world
that can ever change my love. ♪
923
00:54:24,422 --> 00:54:26,901
Do the hospital require any assistance
924
00:54:26,902 --> 00:54:29,791
with the gentleman's funeral
arrangements, Dr Turner?
925
00:54:29,792 --> 00:54:33,461
There are age-old routines for
burial in a council grave.
926
00:54:33,462 --> 00:54:35,061
They do it all the time.
927
00:54:35,062 --> 00:54:38,461
I said they could use my surname,
on the forms.
928
00:54:38,462 --> 00:54:40,329
Bernard Corrigan.
929
00:54:40,823 --> 00:54:43,151
If anyone looks at the cemetery records,
930
00:54:43,152 --> 00:54:45,649
they'll know he belonged to someone.
931
00:54:46,022 --> 00:54:48,871
Well, he belonged here. He was born
in Poplar.
932
00:54:48,872 --> 00:54:51,141
Poplar should have taken better care
of him.
933
00:54:51,142 --> 00:54:52,729
We tried...
934
00:54:53,102 --> 00:54:55,329
...but we could all do better.
935
00:54:55,703 --> 00:54:57,329
And we will.
936
00:54:57,902 --> 00:55:02,671
Now, I know we have hostels for
treating men who have TB.
937
00:55:02,672 --> 00:55:05,631
We need similar facilities for
treating people,
938
00:55:05,632 --> 00:55:07,702
who suffer from alcohol addiction.
939
00:55:07,703 --> 00:55:09,629
Somewhere where they can be helped.
940
00:55:09,772 --> 00:55:12,809
Somewhere where they can be treated
like human beings.
941
00:55:13,232 --> 00:55:15,169
Would the council fund that?
942
00:55:16,782 --> 00:55:18,529
Well, it will take time...
943
00:55:18,823 --> 00:55:20,689
but I will try.
944
00:55:21,092 --> 00:55:22,689
We look after our own here.
945
00:55:25,252 --> 00:55:27,592
JULIE: I'm going to sing her so many
songs, Mum.
946
00:55:29,392 --> 00:55:31,409
I wanted more for you.
947
00:55:31,872 --> 00:55:34,101
You gave me everything I needed.
948
00:55:34,102 --> 00:55:36,622
And now, I'm going to do the same
for her.
949
00:55:38,902 --> 00:55:40,351
With respect, Mrs Turner,
950
00:55:40,352 --> 00:55:42,702
wouldn't it be more sensible to get
this into position
951
00:55:42,703 --> 00:55:44,301
once the rain had packed in?
952
00:55:44,302 --> 00:55:46,101
It's going to end up out of tune,
you know.
953
00:55:46,102 --> 00:55:49,191
The rain is not due to "pack in"
until early afternoon,
954
00:55:49,192 --> 00:55:51,781
exactly as the service commences.
955
00:55:51,782 --> 00:55:54,182
I'm also armed with a large tarpaulin.
956
00:55:57,118 --> 00:55:58,597
TRIXIE: When we first started,
957
00:55:58,622 --> 00:56:00,692
this seemed like the
most marvellous idea.
958
00:56:00,693 --> 00:56:03,051
A canopy of massed summer flowers
959
00:56:03,052 --> 00:56:06,461
donated by well-wishers from the
community of Poplar.
960
00:56:06,462 --> 00:56:08,751
What we've ended up with is a sort of...
961
00:56:08,752 --> 00:56:12,621
...chrysanthemum soup with privet
croutons.
962
00:56:12,622 --> 00:56:15,301
So, that's no good, then?
963
00:56:15,302 --> 00:56:19,341
Matthew, I'm Constance Spry-trained.
964
00:56:19,342 --> 00:56:21,501
Well, I'm glad I didn't know that
965
00:56:21,502 --> 00:56:23,703
when I sent you the Swiss cheese plant.
966
00:56:27,262 --> 00:56:28,769
It wasn't...
967
00:56:29,192 --> 00:56:32,342
...right for me to send you actual
flower flowers, then.
968
00:56:34,448 --> 00:56:37,729
And it wasn't right for me to do
that for a long, long, time.
969
00:56:38,112 --> 00:56:39,649
No, when I...
970
00:56:40,052 --> 00:56:41,849
1... 1 never wanted that.
971
00:56:42,772 --> 00:56:44,529
And do you want that, now?
972
00:56:45,192 --> 00:56:48,129
I mean, would you allow that, now?
973
00:56:50,242 --> 00:56:53,569
Because, if you'd let me...
974
00:56:54,872 --> 00:56:57,609
...I would fill your arms with flowers.
975
00:56:57,912 --> 00:57:01,209
Roses, lilacs, lilies...
976
00:57:01,963 --> 00:57:03,702
...and something red.
977
00:57:03,703 --> 00:57:05,952
Like, more roses.
978
00:57:05,953 --> 00:57:07,953
- Red roses.
- Yeah, red roses.
979
00:57:10,672 --> 00:57:13,112
Because, I mean, everybody knows
what they mean.
980
00:57:14,666 --> 00:57:18,049
And I hope very much you know what I
mean, when I do this.
981
00:57:30,632 --> 00:57:36,271
♪ Their heads were veiled,
their lives avowed.

983
00:57:39,432 --> 00:57:44,351
The Nonnatus House centenary
celebrations took place
984
00:57:44,352 --> 00:57:46,729
in gently falling rain.
985
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:50,191
The people, who loved it, stood
shoulder to shoulder
986
00:57:50,192 --> 00:57:52,364
in defiance of the elements,
987
00:57:52,365 --> 00:57:56,089
determined to carry on and regardless.
988
00:57:56,486 --> 00:58:00,605
The weather could not have been more
perfect.
989
00:58:00,606 --> 00:58:04,655
Skies will always shift, seasons
with them.
990
00:58:04,656 --> 00:58:08,686
Days become years, years become decades.
991
00:58:08,687 --> 00:58:12,806
Decades evolve into a century and more.
992
00:58:12,807 --> 00:58:17,965
And all the while, our lives
entwine, and then, unspool,
993
00:58:17,966 --> 00:58:23,105
borne on the winds of time and aimed
we know not where.
994
00:58:23,106 --> 00:58:29,229
But we know where we come from and
where our hearts call home.
995
00:58:33,016 --> 00:58:35,015
May I give you a wee bit of advice?
996
00:58:35,016 --> 00:58:37,325
Please do. Polish up your dancing shoes.
997
00:58:37,326 --> 00:58:39,686
Make her feel like she's the only
girl in the world.
998
00:58:39,687 --> 00:58:42,485
Well, how does Cyril feel about that?
999
00:58:42,486 --> 00:58:44,449
I haven't told him yet.
1000
00:58:45,196 --> 00:58:47,936
Get away from her. You're hurting her!
1001
00:58:47,937 --> 00:58:53,109
I prayed for the intervention of
angels and I have been answered.
