business leaders have welcoled the intervention even though thdy did | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
not expect it. It was unthinkable, six months ago, the situation would | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
happen. It has caused great concern. These institutions have these | :05:53. | :06:03. | |

about that sort of stuff. Instead you got a babe with | :15:28. | :15:33. | |

I fell into my career by accident. We didn't like each other for the | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
first few weeks, we were different! I'm relishing the chance to do this | :15:50. | :15:59. | |

I'm having for lunch? Now in the second in our series | :16:21. | :16:30. | |
on World War One At Home, I've been finding out | :16:31. | :16:58. | |
about a famous author whose name is known around the world, but whose | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
war time work is little known. In 1914 Agatha Christie joined the | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
volunteers helping wounded soldiers She quickly moved up | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
the ranks to become a nurse. In a rare interview, | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
recorded towards the end of her life and now held by the Imperial War | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Museum, Agatha described her time I think it's very satisfactory work, | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
nursing. Because somehow, what you'rd doing, | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
you feel that if you're going to succeed `t all | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
in it, that person will be cured. With her fianc? Archie Christie | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
among the first to go to Fr`nce Agatha wanted to do her bit | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
for the war effort. He had just been accepted | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
in the RAF, so I felt, you know It's quite eerie being in hdre | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
in a way, isn't it, because these surroundings would be exactly | :17:52. | :18:09. | |
as Agatha would have known them She worked here in Torquay Town | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
Hall, which had been transformed This woman, Joan, | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
has studied the life and work of this First World War nurse, | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
and on tours of Agatha's Torquay After a few days, she was promoted | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
to the bedside because the mature ladies hadn't re`lised | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
what hospital nursing involved. So they discovered it | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
was quite gruesome? Gruesome, yes ` emptying urhnals, | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
washing and scrubbing. The casualties came straight | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
from the trenches in those days with the very galling injurhes, | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
bandaging, not looking very clean. And long before Agatha's wrhting | :18:59. | :19:06. | |
career began, she was penning letters for the | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
wounded soldiers, though thdy didn't He said put what you like ` no, | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
she said, you tell me... So they managed a letter | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
which finished 'yours till hell One for Nelly, one for Marg`ret | :19:22. | :19:22. | |
and one for Jessie. Oh, hah`! She said, | :19:23. | :19:39. | |
surely they will compare notes! They live in different towns, | :19:40. | :19:40. | |
they don't know each other! He may have got away with that, | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
but most people conformed to protocol and life | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
in the military hospital, jtst as She said she hadn't realised that | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
one had to almost fall down We'd hand things to her and she | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
would hand things to the doctor If I'd handed them to the doctor, | :20:01. | :20:14. | |
done it straight, While she was nursing, | :20:15. | :20:16. | |
Agatha fell ill. She didn't return to | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
the hospital but instead went to work in the dispensary, which | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
reminded her of a conversathon she'd Agatha said at the time, "I'd | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
love to write a detective story " But this new work gave her | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
the inspiration ` it seems @gatha "I've now got time, and I'm going to | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
try to write the detective story. During her time working in the | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
dispensary, Agatha wrote thhs poem: 'From the bourgeois time to | :21:00. | :21:15. | |
the present day... Their power has been proved | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
and tried. Monk's head blue called Aconite | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
and the deadly cyanide. Here is sleep and solace | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
and soothing of pain Here is menace and murder | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
and sudden death in these fhles "One day I was having to do an | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
ointment for someone, At three o'clock in the morning I | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
woke up and I said to myself: 'I believe I've put | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
the old carbolic in the ointment'. I realised that dispensing had | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
a certain amount It seems her time in the dispensary, | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
and nursing the sick and wotnded and refugees from places such | :21:51. | :22:01. | |
as Belgium, went on to infltence her writing career, creating famous | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
characters such as Hercule Poirot and the Agatha Christie who is | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
now known around the world. And you see Hercule Poirot's office | :22:09. | :22:20. | |
