0:00:02 > 0:00:03Good day, gentlemen.
0:00:03 > 0:00:07Hello. I'm Prem Sharma, your new doctor.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Last thing I need is another doctor poking around, stirring things up.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14They've only just got off the boat. How much trouble can they cause?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17You need a challenging job, something to pull you out of yourself.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I had a challenging job in India, that's why she died.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22It's Dad, I think he's dying.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25We have to get him to hospital. An ambulance please. Please!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I've had a reply to my telegram.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29"London position available.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31"Telephone ministry to confirm."
0:00:31 > 0:00:35It's as good as done. We can leave.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I'm not going to London.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49# Tonight you're mine, completely
0:00:51 > 0:00:56# You give your love, so sweetly. #
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Two weeks it's taken me to get a straight answer.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- It's worse than India.- What is?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The NHS.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Anyway, I've got you an interview for you for a job in London.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- And that's what I want is it? - Of course you do.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's a practice in Southall.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Southall? Where's that?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I don't know...it's London.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21How do you know things will be better in London?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Oh, stop being so negative, it's tiresome.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27All you have to do is call them.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30We should've looked harder for Elwyn's diary when we had the chance.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33You turned the surgery upside down, it's not there.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34It is, I'm sure of it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40It's only a matter of time before that Delhi doctor stumbles on it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Maybe he already has.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Why don't you just ask him?- What?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Ask him if he's found the diary.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48You never know, he might just give it to you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Don't be absurd!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Then he'd know how important it is.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Would that matter?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- Sylvia, if you ever have a thought, it would die of loneliness. - Oh, Dickie!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03There are no appointments at all today.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The last two weeks have been so busy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Everyone's had a good gawk at you, look at you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The only people you'll see in here from now on are the ones that are sick.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So what are they saying about me?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20These people who've had a good gawk at me?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Do you really want to know?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26According to my nan, Mrs Rees is worried you might be a bit young.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29But Miss Roberts thinks you're nice, and not nearly as posh as you seem.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Posh?- It's the way you talk.- Oh.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36Mrs Jenkins thinks you're much cleverer than Dr Elwyn, but she never really liked Dr Elwyn.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40And Miss Morgan says you're not nearly as dark as she expected.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Why not?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Well, it's...it's prejudiced.- Is it?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I don't know, I don't think so.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- No?- What else are they saying?- Erm...
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Oh, yes, Mrs Bevan said she could hardly wait to get round my nan's after she saw you. She said...
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I'm not sure I should tell you what she said.- What?
0:03:02 > 0:03:07She said she thinks... that you're really tidy.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Tidy? I don't understand.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You know, tidy?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Cracking. She fancies you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Mm... Oh!
0:03:17 > 0:03:18I wouldn't worry, she's 81.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22There seem to be a lot of talk about me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25They've got nothing else to talk about.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Have you called the people in London yet?- Er, no.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Are you going to? - Yeah, when I have time.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33They're expecting you to call.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34And I will when I have time.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Time is the one thing we're not short of here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Well, I could make some house calls?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- You might as well have the day off.- Really?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49It's a beautiful day. Makes no sense sitting inside.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Dr Elwyn never gave me the day off.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Tidy!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02FOOTSTEPS
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Get in.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Get in!
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Morning.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Morning.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Who's that?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- The whipper-in.- The what?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11If they catch you mitching, they whip you in to school.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Perhaps this place isn't so backward after all.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- You're Owen Griffith's son aren't you?- Maybe.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Don't worry, I won't turn you in.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I hated school myself.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Complete waste of time.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Do you want to make some money? - For what?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Nothing difficult. Right up your street in fact.- What?
0:05:31 > 0:05:39Dr Elwyn kept a diary in his surgery, a green leather diary with a leather cord around it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Do you think you could find it and bring it to me?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44How much?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Good lad.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Mrs Evans.- Dr Sharma. I didn't put in for a house call.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55No, no. I was just passing.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I thought I'd check in on your husband now he's home.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00He's sleeping.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Good. The more rest he gets the better.- Yeah, he's fine.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Good.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08See you some other time.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- What's he trying to do? - He's being thoughtful.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- No he's not. - Well, I thought it was nice.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Is that a new dress?- What? No.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- It's a bit bright isn't it?- No.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I think it is.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26It's summer, Tom.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31MUSIC PLAYS
0:06:41 > 0:06:43RECORD STICKS
0:06:48 > 0:06:50SHE SIGHS
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Perfect.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Good morning.- Morning, Doctor.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Hey! Hey!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- You're the doctor?- Yes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- You have to come.- What?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- It's Gwyneth. It's her time. - Her time?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16She's going into labour and something's wrong.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20He's always round our house.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's like he's got nothing better to do.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24He's only checking in on your dad.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- He spends more time with Megan than he does with my dad.- Really?
0:07:28 > 0:07:33I don't see why we can't just stick with Dr Morgan. At least he's Welsh.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Dr Sharma's all right.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36He gave me the day off.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Did he?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You want to go somewhere?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Where?- I don't know.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50- Anywhere.- OK.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Come on, Doc!
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Is that everything?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Yes.- You don't want the Marmite?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- I'm sorry?- The Marmite?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Oh, no.- Right.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Could you order in an Indian paper for me?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- The Hindustan Times?- The what?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- The Hindustan Times.- What is that?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's a paper.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Foreign paper?- Yes, it's Indian.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- No. Don't do that. - Do you carry The Times?
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Bridgend Times, The Pontypridd Observer, or the Western Examiner.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13No. Thank you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Right.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- COW MOOS - It's a cow?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28She's a cow.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Why didn't you call a veterinarian?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Vets are expensive, Doc.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34NHS? Well, it's free.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37NHS is for people.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Please, Doc. Gwyneth, she's like family to me, Doc.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Do you want to abandon Gwyneth in her hour of need?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46COW MOOS
0:09:46 > 0:09:47I've never delivered a cow.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50But you could, you could.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's all the same way...basically.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I've brought you hot water and towels, Doc.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Not sure we'll be needing the towels.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Did you remember an apron?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Right, let's get stuck in.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Right. Yes. Stuck in.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27Who let you in here?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28No-one.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And what exactly do you think you're doing?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- What's wrong? - I thought you were going to hit me?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Hit you? Why would I do that?
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Everyone does.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well, I'm not everyone.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43I can't thank you enough, Doc.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I thought Gwyneth was a goner there. And the little one.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53Provided they're dealt with, breech births aren't serious. I'm sure the baby will be... The...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Calf, Doc. Calf.- Much obliged.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The calf will be absolutely fine.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59I'll tell you what,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I'm going to name the little one after you.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Little Dr Sharma.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Are you going to take me to the police?- No.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Why not?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- What for? - Because I broke into your house.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18You didn't break in. The window was open.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yeah, but... - And you didn't do any damage.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23A bit of iodine on the floor...
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I was trying to steal from you!
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Is that what you were doing?- Yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I expect you were just bored.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33I wasn't bored. It was a job.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I was getting paid and everything.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36What was it, a bet?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- One of your friends?- No!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Some girl you were trying to impress?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44It was Mr Sharpe! He paid me to steal your diary.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46I don't have a diary.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Well, someone's diary. A green leather diary.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Well, then, we'd better pay a visit to your Mr Sharpe.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And any time you want a pint of milk, Doc, just pop round.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58That's very kind. Is this your car?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Piece of junk.- What model is it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Prefect '53.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You like cars?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05No...I LOVE cars.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I learnt to drive in a Hindustan Ambassador.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Could never afford one, though.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Prefect, nice name.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Ah...that way?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19That way.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25Down the hill, across the field, over the stile, footpath, village.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Good day.- Good day.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36# Only the lonely, only the lonely
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- # Only the lonely - Dum, dum, dum, dum di do ah
0:13:42 > 0:13:49- # The way I feel tonight - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- # Only the lonely - Dum, dum, dum, dum di do ah
0:13:53 > 0:13:57# Know this feeling ain't right... #
0:13:59 > 0:14:01All I've ever wanted to do is sing for people.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05When I sing, I feel like I'm on fire.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Well, no, not on fire. But, like, really, really alive.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Don't get nervous when people are watching you?- No, why?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I would.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18That's the best bit.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think you're amazing.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Me too.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Gina?
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Dr Sharma?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34What are you doing here?
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Tom. I'm trying to get to the village.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43I keep seeing it, I just can't seem to get there.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We could give you a ride in the van.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Couldn't we, Tom?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Sure.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54What?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57HE CHUCKLES
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Nothing, nothing. Funny day.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05# If your lonely heart breaks
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- # Only the lonely - Dum, dum, dum, dum di do ah. #
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Did he say why he wanted this diary?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14No. He just said what it looked like
0:15:14 > 0:15:17and he'd give me five bob if I found it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Got you!- Ah! - Don't you dare hurt that child!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- No, you don't!- Who do you think you are? Let go of him!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- This boy's a truant. He's supposed to be in school.- No, he is not.- What?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- He's not supposed to be in school. - Oh, and why not?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Because I'm teaching him.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- What?- I'm giving him private tuition.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- And you can do that?- Of course I can.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I've never heard of this before.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- And you call yourself an educationalist? - No, a welfare officer.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48So, you've never heard of Bertrand Russell, AS Neill, Wilhelm Reich?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Are they in the Cardiff office?- What?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I only know Pontypridd.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55It doesn't matter. The point is, the child is with me.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Fancy sending grown men out in the streets to attack children. - I did not attack him.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Now, we've had enough interference
0:16:01 > 0:16:04and we'd like to get on with our lesson. Good day.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I'm going to check on this.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Ridiculous little man. No wonder you don't want to go to school.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You're not going to give me lessons, are you?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Of course not, I just need you with me when I speak to Mr Sharpe.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You repeat everything you told me.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- OK.- Anyway, I wasn't going to let him beat you.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27How barbaric, the English are supposed to be civilised.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- He's Welsh.- English, Welsh - what difference does it make?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Oh!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Can I help you, Mrs Evans?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Dr Sharma. Yes, please.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You're a...you're a musician?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Not me, no. Those are Tom's.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Your son?- Stepson.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Ah, of course.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I didn't think you looked old enough to have a teenage son.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58He's singing in a talent contest at the pub tomorrow.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59You should come, it'll be fun.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02He just gave me a lift back to the village.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Tom? Where were you?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Some farm up in the hills.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I performed my first delivery.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10A baby? Whose?
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Gwyneth Joseph's.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Ceri Joseph's cow.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- I delivered a calf! - I didn't think doctors did that.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It was a first.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Why didn't he get the vet?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Apparently vets are too expensive.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Ah, yes. That would be Ceri!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- That's my wife.- You liar, you did.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Mrs Sharma,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I haven't the foggiest idea what this boy is talking about.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38You paid this child to break into my house and steal from me.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- He would say anything to get himself out of trouble.- He's not lying.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45He's really does have the most inventive imagination.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- Should be locked away, he should. - The only person who should be locked away is you, Mr Sharpe.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- You're a liar and a thief. - Oh, jiw jiw!
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Kamini?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57He paid this child to break into our house and I'd like to know why.
0:17:57 > 0:18:04Dr Sharma. I'm sorry, but your wife appears to be labouring under some dreadful misunderstanding.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- There's no misunderstanding. - This appalling child has filled her head with a lot of nonsense.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It's not nonsense!- Kamini!
0:18:12 > 0:18:15You and your good lady wife are guests in our country
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- and the way this boy is taking advantage of that... - Do you take me for an idiot?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Kamini, please!- The man is lying.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25If you don't believe me we can ask the boy. Dan? Dan!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'm afraid he really can't be trusted.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It's you who can't be trusted. What are you doing?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- You're making a scene. - I'm not going anywhere.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You're acting like a child.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Poor woman. It must be hard, being so far from home.
0:18:47 > 0:18:52That sort of behaviour might be acceptable where she comes from, but it certainly isn't here.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- What happened? - It's the Griffiths boy, I'm afraid.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Up to his usual tricks.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I see you've been out walking with the doctor.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04What?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- No, we just bumped into each other... - I don't blame you.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Lovely day for it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I can't believe you said that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- You called him a liar and a thief! - Because he is!- According to a child.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Why would a man like Sharpe pay a child to break into my office?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Do you think I made all this up?
0:19:27 > 0:19:31You do? You don't trust me.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33It doesn't make any sense!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35How dare you?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I have never lied to you about anything.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39I didn't say that you lied.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41So you're not going to do anything?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll speak to the boy's father.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45If he doesn't know anything, you can get drunk with him.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- That happened once. - You spend more time with these people than you do with me.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I am their doctor. I have to win their trust.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55That's a struggle without you picking fights.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- I didn't.- And embarrassing me in front of the whole village.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02That's what I am then? An embarrassment to you?
0:20:09 > 0:20:14# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:20:14 > 0:20:16# The whole day through
0:20:18 > 0:20:22# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:20:23 > 0:20:25# Night time too. #
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Are you going to sing that the contest tomorrow night?
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Do you want me to?
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I don't know. I'm not sure I like the idea of you singing to all those girls.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37I'll be singing to them but I'll be thinking of you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42WINDOW OPENS
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Gina, is that you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49If my nan knew I was kissing a boy on her doorstep, she'd kill me.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54We could go back to my house.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Megan's out all night and my dad never comes downstairs.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Not yet, Tom.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Soon though.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Tom just gave me a lift home.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Tom...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Mrs Davies.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Just going.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Five quid.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41HE COUNTS QUIETLY
0:21:47 > 0:21:49We're ready.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Rum.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I don't know why he plays. He always loses.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Can I get you a pint, Doctor?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04That's all right. It's my round.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I'm fine thank you, Doctor.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10That was a pretty big loss there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13You sure you can afford it?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16How can anyone afford anything these days?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18What was it you wanted to ask me?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Did Dr Elwyn keep a diary?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Elwyn?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25He kept loads of diaries.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Do you know where they are?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Would you like me to show you?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Always writing, he was. His thoughts about the village,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43things people told him, gossip, bit of local colour.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Aye, very proud of being Welsh, was Dr Elwyn.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Put them all here in the institute library.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58There's one for every five years,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00all the way back to the 30s.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Any particular one you're after?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Where's the current one?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Probably still writing that one when he died.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Must be back in the surgery somewhere.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Does your son know about these?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Dan? Not likely.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20He and books aren't exactly best mates.
0:23:20 > 0:23:26- What about Mr Sharpe?- Mr Sharpe?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29The only thing that interests him in the Valleys
0:23:29 > 0:23:31is how quickly he can get out of them.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- Can anyone come here? - Any time you like.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45But not now. Your round!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'd love to, but I have to get home.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Perhaps some other time.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Kamini? You were right.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I spoke to Owen Griffiths.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06He showed me a whole shelf full of Elwyn's old diaries.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08They were just like the one you described.
0:24:08 > 0:24:14Which means the boy couldn't have made it up. Which is what you said.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- I should have believed you. I'm sorry, it just didn't seem right. - I don't care.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22What matters is that you didn't trust me.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Kam...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Griffiths! Owen Griffiths!
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Ma' Sharpe ishe gwel' Owen Griffiths.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- WHISTLING - Sharpe wants to see Griffiths!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I'm on my way.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I heard you lost again last night.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Your bad luck at poker is hardly a secret, Griffiths.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57How much was it this time?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- None of your business. - That sounds like a lot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Was it your money or did you have to...?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04It was my money.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10I suppose, though, you taking money from the Miners' Welfare Fund isn't technically wrong.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I mean, you being a miner
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- and it being for your welfare. - I did that once.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17And I'm going to pay it back.
0:25:17 > 0:25:23- Not if you keep losing. - What do you want?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25The Indian doctor came to see you.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Yes. So?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- What did he want? - He just wanted to talk.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31About what?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Politics, Gandhi, South Africa... we have a lot in common.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36And that was it?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37He didn't talk about his wife?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43His wife? No.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Or Elwyn?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47No. Why?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I just don't want him making trouble.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Trouble for who?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55You?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I know you don't like me, Griffiths, and that's fine.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02The only thing I care about is the productivity of this mine.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So you can get in with the area manager.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07If that's what you want to think, yes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09But understand this...
0:26:11 > 0:26:15..if productivity stays up, the mine stays open.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Do you have any idea how many pits in this area are going to close over the next few years?
0:26:22 > 0:26:29- Yes.- Without the mine, this village will die.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32So bear that in mind.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41He's singing in the talent contest tonight at the club.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I'm sure he'll win.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47He's got such lovely eyes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Can I tell you a secret?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56He's a gorgeous kisser too.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I could kiss him all day.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04In fact, I did.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I can't believe I just told you that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13If my nan could hear me now, she'd lock me in my room and throw the key away.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Hear you say what?- Nothing.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17There's absolutely nothing wrong with your heart.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- It's very strong. - It must be the worry then.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22If it's not one thing it's another.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25People take the most awful liberties.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27It gives me palpitations.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Perfectly normal. Nothing to worry about.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33You'd be amazed at the things some people do in my shop.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- PHONE RINGS - I'm sure I would.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Hello? Hello?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Mummy?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Operator?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48That's the third time. How did these people run an empire?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50How much is this costing?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I haven't spoken to my mother in two weeks.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55She'll be fine. She's got your father to nag.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- It was a joke.- It's not funny.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02I'm going out of my mind here and you won't even let me speak to my mother.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04I didn't say you...
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Kamini!
0:28:12 > 0:28:17- Gina, do you know anything about a diary?- Diary?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Did Dr Elwyn keep a diary in the surgery?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I don't know.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Mr Sharpe seems to think so.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Apparently he's looking for it.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Oh yeah, I heard about that.- I'm sure everyone in the village has.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I looked everywhere I could think of last night, and this morning.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35It's probably none of my business.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You're the right sort of person, aren't you?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42You're a good person.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43I hope so.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Dr Elwyn made me swear this wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56It's in Welsh.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- Have you read it? - I can't speak much Welsh.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Do you know anyone who could translate it for me?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04My nan could.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Someone discreet?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Oh, I see what you mean.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11If we give it to my nan it'll be round the whole village by tea time.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Is there anyone else?- Not really.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16None of my friends speak much Welsh either.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18DOOR OPENS
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Excuse me, are you here to see the doctor?- No.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Excuse me! Mrs Sharma!
0:29:25 > 0:29:29I was thinking maybe you could give me lessons, like you said.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33That was before you ran off and left me with Mr Sharpe.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- What's this?- It's perfume. It makes you smell nicer.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I know what it is. Why are you giving it to me?- To say I'm sorry.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- Did you steal it? - No, it's my mother's.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Doesn't she want it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- I don't know.- Did you ask her?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I haven't seen her since I was eight.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53My father's never going to use it, so you might as well have it.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57Thank you.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03No, no, no. That means absolutely no alcohol, not even for medicinal purposes.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Thanks, Doc. - Don't forget that phone call.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Mrs Sharma said you had to make a phone call.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13These are all from your mother?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15And you've never read them?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Bits of them.- So you can read.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Go on then.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- Were you a teacher in India? - No.- Then how come you know so much?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Because I read a lot.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I thought you wanted me to teach you.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Let's do that later. You read it.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36No. Come on, stop being lazy.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- I'm not lazy.- Then stop wasting time and read it.- No.- Why not?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Because I don't like reading.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- Don't be stupid. - I'm not stupid and I'm not lazy.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- You're just like everyone else. - Dan!
0:30:57 > 0:31:02I didn't mean what I said. And I don't really think you're stupid.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Actually, I think you're quite clever compared to most of the people around here.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10The other day someone asked me if I lived in a mud hut.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Do I look like I could live in a mud hut?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You look like you should live in a palace.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16I wish I did.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I am stupid, though.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Everyone says so.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Because you can't read?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- How did you know? - It's pretty obvious.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Hasn't anyone tried to help you?
0:31:26 > 0:31:31They try, and then they get angry with me because I can't do it.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Dr Sharma?
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Sorry to disturb you.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It's Ceri Joseph. He wants to speak to you but he's a bit embarrassed.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Oh, no! What is it this time? It's not a pig, is it?- No, no.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44He feels terrible about yesterday.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Tell him it's fine. - He wants to thank you.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49He has something he wants to give you.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51There's really no need.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53It would mean a lot if you let him thank you.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Fine.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- A pint of milk, is it?- Not exactly.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08I was up all night, Doc, and I finally got her working. Now she's purring like a little kitten.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- I can't possibly accept this. - Why not?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17It's the point of the NHS. It's free at the point of care.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Ah! For people.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22The NHS is free for people. But cows - a different matter.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Yes, but...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27No, I really can't.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34Look, uh... I'll give you £10 for it.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- It's worth 30.- What?- If not more.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42- But...- All right. Doc, for Gwyneth's sake, I'll let you have her for £25.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47- You want me to give you £25 for your car?- 20.- 20?- Done.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51I don't have the money on me.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Don't worry, Doc. You pay me when you can.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57You couldn't possibly give me a lift back?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I don't like leaving Gwyneth on her own for too long.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Ceri. Ma fe'n rhy fishi. So fe'n gallu bratu'i amser yn dy redeg di ambythdi.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Fydd e ddim wincad. - A shwd ma fe'n mynd i ffindo'i ffordd gatre o'ch lle chi?
0:33:06 > 0:33:12- Dere di 'da ni... Elli di weud 'tho fe. Na 'lle di? - It's a long way round by road.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- It's not easy to find your way back. - That I know.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Mrs Evans is coming with us to show you the way back.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- You don't mind? - No, not at all.- Great!
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Give me a chance to take her for a spin.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I'll get my hat and coat.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33We made a deal.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I read one letter and then you read one letter. It's your turn.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38That's not what we said.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39It is, Dan.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43You read a letter, then I try to read a letter.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I've tried. It's your turn.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Mrs Sharpe's downstairs.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50What does she want?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- Well, all the best, Doc.- Thank you.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I still don't understand how he got me to pay for this.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- You were the one who mentioned money.- He didn't have to bargain. I was just being polite.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Of course he had to bargain.- Why?
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Pride.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15What's so funny?
0:34:15 > 0:34:21Nothing. People from the Valleys may seem all warm and simple, but there are no flies on us.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- ENGINE STARTS - Oh!
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Woo-hoo-hoo!
0:34:31 > 0:34:36- Dickie felt really awful about yesterday.- Did he?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40He can be such a brute sometimes. He doesn't mean to be.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Between you and me, I don't think he understands women.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44No.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48He was very upset, though, about all that business with the boy.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- It's fine. The boy was obviously lying.- Really?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I'm sure.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58I'm so sorry about him. He's a disgrace to the village.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- What you must think of us...- It's fine. I've forgotten all about it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Mind you, the rest of them aren't much better.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Very small minded.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It's been really hard for my Dickie.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12The things people have said to us.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Even Dr Elwyn. Oh, yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18In many ways he was the worst.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20A terrible racialist.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25He was horrible to Dickie just because he's English. God knows what he would have made of you.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Aww. I bet you never imagined Britain would be like this.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33No, I didn't.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Oh. You gave me a fright. - I didn't lie to you.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46I said that because the less she knows, the better.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49That woman must think I'm really stupid.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Because you're Indian?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Probably.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I think Indians are really clever if they're all like you.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01They're not, any more than all Welsh people are as stupid as Mrs Sharpe.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STOPS
0:36:06 > 0:36:09ENGINE WHINES
0:36:12 > 0:36:14No wonder he wanted to give it away.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I don't think he was trying to cheat you.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Right, excuse me.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22What are you doing?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24It's not going to fix itself.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26You can do that?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30You're not a man unless you know your tappets from your pistons.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Ooh, Doctor!
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- You speak Welsh.- What?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40That was Welsh you were speaking with Mr Joseph, wasn't it?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Ah, yes.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Might I ask a favour?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46No, I don't know anything about cars.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49No, not this.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53I've got this diary that Dr Elwyn left in his surgery.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I'm quite curious as to what's in it, but it's in Welsh.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Do you want me to have a look at it?- Would you?
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Of course.- The thing is, I think Mr Sharpe's is trying to get hold of it,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05and Dr Elwyn did want to keep it a secret.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07So mum's the word.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09You sure you don't mind?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12It'll give me something do while I'm looking after Gareth.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Why would Mr Sharpe want one of Dr Elwyn's diaries?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I have no idea.
0:37:19 > 0:37:25# Take good care of my baby
0:37:25 > 0:37:29# Please don't ever make her blue. #
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I'm so sorry.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Yes, Mr Powell did say he should call straight away and I did tell him...
0:37:38 > 0:37:42I know. He has been very busy...
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I'm sure he meant to call.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51I'm sure you are, I appreciate that.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54I know you've gone to so much trouble.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56As soon as he gets back I'll...
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Are you sure?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Mr Powell's...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I understand.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12LINE GOES DEAD
0:38:22 > 0:38:24OK, give it a try.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28ENGINE REVS
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Triumph! I'm impressed.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34I haven't played with an engine in ages.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Better than fixing people?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Cars do exactly what the doctor ordered.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Right. Home? - Can you take me to the pub?
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- If I don't get there before Tom sings he'll never forgive me. - Let's see what this baby can do.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:38:56 > 0:38:59# The whole day through
0:38:59 > 0:39:02# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:39:02 > 0:39:08# Night time too I love you and I'm dreaming of you
0:39:09 > 0:39:12# But that won't do
0:39:12 > 0:39:14# Dream baby, make me stop my dreaming
0:39:14 > 0:39:16# You can make my dreams come true. #
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Maybe Elwyn got rid of the diary.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Well whatever he did with it, it's not there.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30And if the Sherpas haven't found it by now they never will.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Sharma.- What?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Sharma. Their name is Sharma.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Stupid name.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41You're sure she believed you about the boy?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45She didn't have a clue. She's not as clever as she thinks she is.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Good.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52So do I get a reward for being your clever little girl?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57There's a rumour going round about an area manager's job in Nottingham.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Really?- Yes.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01And my name's been mentioned.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Dickie!
0:40:02 > 0:40:04We could move to England.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- Yes.- Get a posh new house.- A new car.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Start a family.- Ow, that hurts!
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- It's supposed to feel nice. - Well, it doesn't.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- TELEVISION:- What would you like to do? Would you like to give it a go or take the money?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Always take the money.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:40:27 > 0:40:30# The whole day through
0:40:30 > 0:40:33# Dream baby, got me dreaming sweet dreams
0:40:33 > 0:40:35# Night time too
0:40:36 > 0:40:39# I love you and I'm dreaming of you
0:40:39 > 0:40:41# But that won't do
0:40:41 > 0:40:45# Dream baby, make me stop dreaming
0:40:45 > 0:40:47# You can make my dreams come true... #
0:40:51 > 0:40:53DOOR CLOSES
0:40:54 > 0:40:56SNORING
0:41:02 > 0:41:06# Sweet dream baby
0:41:08 > 0:41:12# How long must I dream? #
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Kamini.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Guess what I've just bought.
0:41:20 > 0:41:27I paid a little more than I expected to... What?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30All you had to do was make one phone call.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Have you any idea how humiliated I felt?
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Enoch is a friend of Daddy's, and that job is gone now.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40There's nothing wrong with this job.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Everything is wrong with it! That's why we were going to London.
0:41:43 > 0:41:49- I never said I wanted to go to London.- That's the problem.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51You never say anything.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54That's what you do, Prem.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58We don't belong here. I want to go.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Aren't you going to say anything?
0:42:05 > 0:42:09I'm...I'm going to bed.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20If there is a health problem at the mine,
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- I'm sure the Coal Board is aware of it.- I don't think they are.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26If they aren't, then we've got to tell them about Sharpe.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- I told you to get Elwyn's diary for me.- I couldn't find it.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34So you decided to tell the doctor's wife all about our little deal.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37- Hey!- It's about my boy.
0:42:37 > 0:42:38Go home, Griffiths.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40It's too late now.
