0:00:02 > 0:00:06According to Elwyn, Sharpe has been breaking every safety regulation there is, and has been for years.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09The coal dust in the mine is worse than anyone ever remembers.

0:00:09 > 0:00:14- The first thing is to find out exactly how many miners have got lung disease and how bad it is.- How?

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Simple. Chest x-rays.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20I don't anyone going near that van. Understand? Not one miner gets his chest x-rayed.

0:00:20 > 0:00:24- What am I supposed to tell them? - Tell them it was my idea. - Then they'll be against it!- Exactly.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29There's only one reason why Dr Sharma brought that x-ray van to our village.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32To help you, all of you.

0:00:32 > 0:00:33He's not a company doctor.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36We should go.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Leave the village?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43I told you to get Elwyn's diary.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44And I'll get it.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55MUSIC: "Stay" by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs

0:01:04 > 0:01:07You may have won last year, Ceri Joseph, but I think my

0:01:07 > 0:01:10little sweetheart may have a surprise or two for you tomorrow.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12You say that every year and you never win.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13- I do.- Not unless you cheat.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Now don't start all that. - It's not me that starts it.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Mr Griffiths? Are you all right?

0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Have you seen my boy?- Dan? No.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- He's not with Mrs...er...Sharma? - I don't know.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Why? Is something wrong?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47He's disappeared.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50He's always disappearing. That's what he does.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54No. This is different. He's never gone like this before.

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Is he in trouble?

0:01:57 > 0:02:02I have to find him. If you see him, tell me.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20You are looking at the new area manager for Nottingham.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Your promotion?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24- It's official.- Oh, Dickie!

0:02:24 > 0:02:29I can't believe we're finally going to get out of this miserable little village.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30Ha-ha!

0:02:30 > 0:02:33What about Sharma's x-rays, they won't cause us a problem, will they?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- No, the poor fool who succeeds me will have to deal with them. - And that silly diary...

0:02:37 > 0:02:42The diary, yes, a little bit of unfinished business there, but that's in hand, I think.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45I think today look sets to be rather splendid.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Dickie?- What?

0:02:47 > 0:02:52Seeing as you're a big area manager now, why don't we celebrate?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- What are you after?- Nothing.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- I just thought we'd go upstairs. Maybe fool around a little.- Sylvia!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- It's first thing in the morning.- So?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03I haven't got time for this nonsense.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05You never have time.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I have to go to work.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10And you never want to go upstairs.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Why can't you just admit you've got a problem?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18It's nothing to be ashamed of, Dickie. Dr Sharma says it happens to lots of men.

0:03:22 > 0:03:23What?!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27It's normal.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29And there are things you can do.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33You told Sharma?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37It just sort of slipped out.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42You told that Indian

0:03:42 > 0:03:45what goes on in our bedroom?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Nothing goes on in our bedroom!

0:03:47 > 0:03:50How dare you discuss my private life!

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Ow! I'm sorry. - Who do you think you are, Sylvia?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Please... I said I'm sorry.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58You will be.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00If you ever mention this

0:04:01 > 0:04:04ever again, to anybody,

0:04:04 > 0:04:10you'll be out on the street so fast your feet won't touch the ground.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Morning.- Morning, Gina.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's good about the miners, isn't it?

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- What is?- Having their x-rays done.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Didn't you know? Megan Evans went down the pub last night and had a good old shout at them.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- She marched them all up to the x-ray van.- All of them?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I think so. I'm glad I wasn't there.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51You do not want to see her bad side.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55I can imagine. Gina? Have a seat.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Your results have come back.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'm pregnant, aren't I?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09According to the tests, yes.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Have you told anyone?

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- You're going to have to, you know. - I know.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19You should tell your grandmother.

0:05:19 > 0:05:20I can't. She'll kick me out.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22I'm sure she won't.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25She kicked my mother out when she got pregnant with me.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29I don't know where I'll go.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I can still keep my job, can't I?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37It won't be up to me, I'm afraid.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Why not?- I won't be here.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Mrs Sharma and I are going back to India.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Oh. It's you.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53What are you doing here?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56My son's disappeared.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59When did you last see him?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Last night,

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- this morning... - You're drunk, aren't you?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05You are a father.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09There are plenty of people who would give anything to have children.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11What's going on?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Dan's gone.- He's run away.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I thought he might have come to you.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Why? - He's talked about your missus...

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Mrs Sharma.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I've looked everywhere, doctor.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Have you been to the police?- No.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Why not?

0:06:28 > 0:06:34- I can't.- Owen if you and Dan are in some sort of trouble, then we can try to help you.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36But you have to tell us what's happened.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Why don't you step into my office?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Come.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Tom?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What do you want?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I thought we could talk?

0:06:56 > 0:06:57What about?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Not here,

0:06:59 > 0:07:01my nan.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Do you want to go somewhere?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- I can't.- Just for a minute.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- I'm working.- When you finish.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11No, I have to meet someone in Ponty...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14a man from London.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- About your singing? - Probably won't come to anything.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Can I come with you?

0:07:19 > 0:07:20No,

0:07:22 > 0:07:24it wouldn't look right.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32It's been hard, bringing up Dan on my own, and working too.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35I'd have a pint and a game of cards.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38That's how it started.

0:07:38 > 0:07:39But it got out of hand.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42I've no idea how I lost so much.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45I do. I've seen you play.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Whatever you tell me in here is confidential.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51All right.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58There's a Welfare Fund for the miners.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02I borrowed some money from the fund to pay my debts.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05And?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07I meant to pay it back, honestly.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12But I kept falling behind with the rent and Dan needed things.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14- I see.- And then...

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Sharpe found out.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20He's blackmailing you?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24He wants me to give him the diary.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30If I don't, he'll ruin me.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32You have Dr Elwyn's diary?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Megan showed it to me.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- And I took it.- You stole it?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Sharpe forced me.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- He doesn't own you.- He does.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Owen, do you have any idea how important that diary is?

0:08:49 > 0:08:53It's the one thing that can stop Sharpe from putting more lives at risk.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56If he's blackmailing you, it will never stop. You have to stand up to him.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Where's the diary now?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03I don't know.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06I had a lot to drink.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08When I woke up it was gone.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Gina. Are you all right?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Not really.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Why? What's wrong?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Is Tom avoiding me?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30No, I don't think so.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Has he said anything? About us?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38You need to speak to him, Gina.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I can't.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45This is the worst day of my life.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47It can't be that bad.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50It is.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54I've lost my job, my boyfriend won't talk to me...

0:09:54 > 0:09:56You lost your job?

0:09:56 > 0:09:58I will.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00When Dr Sharma goes.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02What?

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Where's he going?

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Back to India.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Megan?

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Where do you want the rest of the stalls?

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Goddess costs a bit more than the others but it's worth it.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Mmm.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35My granddaughter swears by it.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's good for greasy hair?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- She says it is.- Lots of body?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Plenty of bounce?- Oh, yes.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46All the girls love it. I've only got a couple of bottles left.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49I'll take them both.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01What can I do for you, Mr Joseph?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Well, I'm hoping you can help me, Mrs Davies.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07I'm looking for a very good shampoo.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Something a...

0:11:08 > 0:11:11bit special, if you know what I mean.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14How funny. So was Mr Dawkins.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16He's just taken my last two bottles of Goddess.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Has he?- Yes, just now.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20I could order some in for you?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22No.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Would you like something else?

0:11:24 > 0:11:27No. I'll be fine.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Thank you.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Busy?- Just doing some paperwork.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Did you hear about the miners getting their x-rays?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Yes, well done.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50You succeeded where I failed.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52We succeeded, it was your idea.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54They didn't take my word for it.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I saw Owen Griffiths.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Oh?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04He was looking for Dan.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05There's nothing new there then!

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Why did you show him the diary?

0:12:09 > 0:12:14Because I thought that he should know what Sharpe was really like.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15Sharpe asked him to steal it.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oh.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21He says he's lost it, but for all I know he's probably given it to Sharpe.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24But we will have the x-ray results back in a couple of weeks.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28And they will probably tell us that some of the miners have lung disease.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31But it's the diary that links it all to Sharpe.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Without the diary, Sharpe gets away scot free.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'm sure we can...

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Megan, it's not my fight, it never was.

0:12:40 > 0:12:46It's yours, the miners, the villagers, not some Indian doctor who happened to be passing through.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Is that why you're leaving?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52No.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55But it's made me realise that we just don't fit in here.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Maybe we don't belong here.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00Not everyone feels like that.

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Seems that way.

0:13:03 > 0:13:04I don't.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Oh, Mrs Sharma.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14I was just telling Mrs Evans that we'll be leaving by the end of the week.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Then you'll get the doctor you deserve.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I hope you come to the fete.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22You might find more friends there than you realise.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Goodbye.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35What is she doing here?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39She just came to say that all the miners have had their x-rays taken.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43Good, then the next doctor can deal with the results.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44It's not our problem any more.

0:13:48 > 0:13:53- Where are you going?- I think I know where to find Dan Griffiths.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Where?- I can't tell you.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I promised the boy I wouldn't tell anyone.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Besides, if you came with me it might scare him off.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12A bit over there, just do it, man. Oh, Megan!

0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Megan. He's at it again.- What?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Emlyn Dawkins. He's cheating. He does it every year.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Ceri. I don't care. - Well, it's not a fair contest.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23It's a beauty contest, Ceri! It doesn't matter!

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- It matters to me. - Well, it doesn't matter to me!

0:14:26 > 0:14:30There are more important things in life than this stupid fete.

0:14:36 > 0:14:37Dan?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Dan?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Dan?

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- You can't have that.- Oh!

0:15:14 > 0:15:15You scared the life out of me.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Give it to me.- You look awful.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Are you all right? Come here.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22No. I mean it.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Everyone's worried sick about you.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32You're freezing.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Have you read that?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- You know I can't read something this difficult.- But you took it.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49So Mr Sharpe can't have it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I hate him. He spoils everything.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Come on. Let me take you home.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57To my house.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I wish you was my mam.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07Dr Sharma says it might be a while before we get another doctor.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Apparently there's a real shortage.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16I'll be out of a job if we don't get a new one.

0:16:16 > 0:16:21And what makes you think you'll have a job even if we do get a new doctor?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23I know that job like the back of my hand.

0:16:23 > 0:16:27How long do you think you can carry on working with that?

0:16:27 > 0:16:28What?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Were you ever going to tell me?

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Or did you think I wouldn't notice?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35I wasn't born yesterday, Gina.

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Have you thought what you're going to do when this baby comes?

0:16:39 > 0:16:43How you're going to get by? Where you're going to live?

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Are you going to kick me out?

0:16:46 > 0:16:51Can you think of any reason why I shouldn't?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58# Never know how much I love you

0:16:58 > 0:17:00# Never know how much I care

0:17:02 > 0:17:05# When you put your arms around me

0:17:05 > 0:17:08# I get a feeling that's so hard to bear

0:17:08 > 0:17:10# You give me fever... #

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Right, then.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17We'll show them, won't we? Yes, let's show them.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yes! You're a good girl, aren't you?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Go up. I'll be there in a minute.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- What's going on? - I told him he could stay.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- I couldn't leave him where he was. - Why didn't you take him home?

0:17:42 > 0:17:43He won't go home.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- We're not his parents.- So?

0:17:46 > 0:17:49- And we're leaving. - Not tonight, we're not.

0:17:53 > 0:17:58Emlyn Dawkins thinks he's so clever taking that last bottle of shampoo.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01But there's more than one way to skin a cat.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Oh, yes.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Now then, Gladys.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Let's make you look beautiful.

0:18:07 > 0:18:12# Calon lan yn llawn daioni

0:18:12 > 0:18:16# Tecach yw na'r lili dlos... #

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Well, I'm sorry to hear you're leaving.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I'm sure you'll be missed.- Perhaps.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24As it happens I'm leaving myself, in a few days.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28I've been promoted to area manager.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33Perhaps we should make a joint announcement at the fete tomorrow?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35No, I don't think we will be doing that.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Is there anything else you wanted? - Right.

0:18:41 > 0:18:46Oh, one more thing. Will you be passing Dr Elwyn's diary on to your successor?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48That's not my decision.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Ah, yes.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Megan Evans has it.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Or does she?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I wouldn't know.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Oh, dear.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Do I take it that whole situation's become a bit tricky?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- What situation? - Is that why you're leaving?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08Did Mrs Sharma find out about your bit of crumpet?

0:19:08 > 0:19:10My what?

0:19:10 > 0:19:15Or has Mrs Evans tired of her little exotic fling?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17I think you'd better leave.

0:19:17 > 0:19:22Perhaps she's realised how disgusted people are with her behaviour.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23And yours.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Mr Sharpe, as a doctor it's my duty to uphold the wellbeing

0:19:28 > 0:19:30of every single person in this village,

0:19:30 > 0:19:33but I'm sure it doesn't apply to a cockroach such as yourself.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37Do you think your silly little insults bother me?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Probably not.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43But I wonder if being exposed for theft, perjury and, who knows,

0:19:43 > 0:19:46manslaughter might wipe that smile from your face.

0:19:46 > 0:19:52I'd be very careful what you say, doctor.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55This is Britain, our laws require proof,

0:19:55 > 0:19:59and if I'm not mistaken, without that diary you have no proof

0:19:59 > 0:20:04and without proof you have nothing.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07You are an immoral, corrupt little man, Mr Sharpe,

0:20:07 > 0:20:10and sooner or later it will catch up with you.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13Well, that's a possibility

0:20:13 > 0:20:18but I'm afraid you're missing one vital factor,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21I don't care!

0:20:21 > 0:20:23God speed with your packing.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Where did you get this?- From Dan.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Have you read this?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Yes. - I never trusted Sharpe, but this...

0:20:52 > 0:20:54He's getting away with murder.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56It's a disgrace.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58The whole world should know what he's been up to.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Come. Let's not disturb him.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10What did you just say?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I don't want to disturb him. He's exhausted.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14No. About Sharpe.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18He's a disgrace. Everybody should know what he's been doing.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Yes, they should.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27MUSIC: "Oh! Carol" by Neil Sedaka

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Very nice. Much better than I expected.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51And don't forget your tickets for the raffle.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55The more tickets you buy, the more chances you've got.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59All the money goes to the Miner's Welfare Fund, so if you want to

0:21:59 > 0:22:05support a good cause, or if you want a week in a caravan in Porthcawl,

0:22:05 > 0:22:10make sure you buy plenty of raffle tickets.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12CAR HORN BEEPS

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Mr Sharpe? I'd rather you didn't park...

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Don't fuss, Mrs Evans. It's fine where it is.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20If you could just move it round to the side.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Marvellous job you've done organising this.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25You're becoming rather a a dab hand at organising.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28I gather you were behind that bolshie little protest the other day.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Marching all the miners up to have their x-rays done?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Very clever.- I'm glad you think so.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36It won't make any difference though,

0:22:36 > 0:22:39unless you can prove that someone is responsible.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Can you do that?

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Because if you can't, you might as well not bother.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Once the results of the x-rays have come back and they're sent on to the Coal Board, then we'll...

0:22:49 > 0:22:51What?

0:22:51 > 0:22:54What do you think the Coal Board are going to do?

0:22:54 > 0:22:59Breathing difficulties are an occupational hazard for coal miners.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03I'll be sure to tell that to my dead husband.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Are you sure this is going to work?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- No. But it's worth a try. - What time are you meeting him?

0:23:11 > 0:23:15- I said I'd be at the fete at 12.30. - Are you sure he'll be there?

0:23:15 > 0:23:17I don't know. I hope so. You're not coming?

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Yes, but I'll see you there.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I've been asked to remind you that the refreshment tent won't be open

0:23:25 > 0:23:30for the sale of alcoholic beverages until later this afternoon.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34We don't want a repeat of last year's fiasco.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Why not?- Best fun I had all year.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Not everyone shares your enthusiasm for a punch-up, Bryn.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I do!

0:23:42 > 0:23:46As I expect some of you will know by now, Dr Sharma and his lovely wife

0:23:46 > 0:23:50have decided to return home to their native land.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'm sure I speak for all of us

0:23:52 > 0:23:59when I say what a real pleasure it's been to entertain our foreign guests.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04They've brought us a delightful splash of colour from their exotic country

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and we hope that we, in turn,

0:24:07 > 0:24:13have given them an instructive glimpse of the British way of life.

0:24:13 > 0:24:19But the good doctor isn't the only one who will be leaving the village in the next few days.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23My good lady wife and I are also off to pastures new.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28MURMURING It's been my great honour to serve Trefelin over the past five years

0:24:28 > 0:24:35and I trust that I have left the mine, and the village, in a strong and healthy state.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38The mine may be healthy, but the miners aren't.

0:24:38 > 0:24:43And perhaps today is the perfect time for us all to come together as a community and bury the hatchet.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46I know where I'd like to bury it.

0:24:49 > 0:24:50Dr Sharma?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Dafyd Lewis, Pontypridd Observer.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54- We spoke on the phone.- Oh, yes.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Thank you for coming. - How can I help?

0:24:57 > 0:24:59there's something you should read.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Come with me, please.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05..the Trefelin annual summer fete, open.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14Where did you learn to cook this?

0:25:14 > 0:25:18I just picked it up. It's not that hard, really.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Basically, it's just a cawl.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23You can get everything you need for this in my shop.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Apart from one or two swanky spices.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27But you don't really need them.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29It's much the same with or without.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Pop in to the shop sometime and I'll give you the recipe.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Megan's doing a fabulous job of organising the fete.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44Shame she can't organise that useless stepson of hers.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Tom? He's all right. I heard he's going to sing for us later.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50About the only thing he's good for.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Nan? Can you take over for a minute? I don't feel well.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57You should have thought of that before, shouldn't you?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00It's no good crying to me now.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02You can have another helping, if you like.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04On the house.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Where did you get this?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14The previous doctor hid it in the surgery before he died.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16These are his notes?

0:26:16 > 0:26:19No, a friend translated them for me.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22This is damning stuff. If even half of it is true,

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Mr Sharpe has a lot of explaining to do.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Then you have to publish it.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Whoa. It's not that simple.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I need more than just this.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33- On it's own, it's worthless. - Worthless?

0:26:33 > 0:26:34Yes.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Unless there are men willing to come forward

0:26:37 > 0:26:40and confirm what it says in here, then this is just hearsay.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43If it's even true at all.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45But... why would these men lie?

0:26:45 > 0:26:47People lie for all kinds of reasons, Mrs Sharma.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50That's the first thing you learn in my business.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Most of the time they don't even know they're doing it.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- But you could find them and interview them?- I could try.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58But there's no guarantee that they would speak to me.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01It might not be worth the time and effort.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You can't let Sharpe get away with this.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05You overestimate me, Dr Sharma.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08The Observer's just a small paper.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11It may not be just Sharpe.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14And if it isn't just him...

0:27:14 > 0:27:18Look, these are powerful men with friends in high places.

0:27:18 > 0:27:19You're frightened.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Yes, I am. And you should be too.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25They could make life very unpleasant for you,

0:27:26 > 0:27:28unless you can prove what's in this diary.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39What if...

0:27:39 > 0:27:41I brought you a witness?

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Griffiths. What do you want?

0:27:49 > 0:27:50I need more time.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52You haven't got more time.

0:27:52 > 0:27:58Either I get that diary today or I let everyone know you're a thief.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Don't do this to me.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Stop snivelling, Griffiths, and get on with it.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15This is your doing.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Where's Gladys?- Never mind Gladys.

0:28:18 > 0:28:19Where's Dilys!?

0:28:24 > 0:28:30Well, this is one thing our colonial cousins certainly know how to do.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Really good. In fact,

0:28:32 > 0:28:36I'd venture to say that it's the best thing they've ever done for us.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40Not like that awful muck you served up when the Sharmas came to dinner.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44Thank you, Dickie. So nice to know that you appreciate me.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48What did I say?

0:28:49 > 0:28:51SHEEP BAAS

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Thank you for helping today, Nan.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28I didn't do it for you. I did it for the shop.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32When do you want me to move out?

0:29:32 > 0:29:34What?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36You said you wanted me to move out.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38You don't half talk rubbish, Gina.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42What do you mean?

0:29:42 > 0:29:45You think you're going to be able to find a place of your own?

0:29:45 > 0:29:49Who's going to pay for it while you're looking after that?

0:29:49 > 0:29:54- I don't know. - Then stop talking nonsense.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57You're not going to kick me out?

0:29:57 > 0:29:59I made that mistake once.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01I'm not make it again.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04But if you think I'm going to wash out nappies, get up in the middle

0:30:04 > 0:30:08of the night and run around buying endless presents, you've got another thing coming.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11I had enough of that nonsense with you and your mother.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14You won't have to, Nan, honestly. I'll do everything.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Yes, well, you say that now.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Get off.

0:30:18 > 0:30:23I still think you're a stupid little girl who should have known better.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Is this on?

0:30:25 > 0:30:28Hello, sorry.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30You'd better tell him.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32I can't. I don't know what to say.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Well, think of something. He needs to know. Even if he is useless.

0:30:36 > 0:30:37I've tried.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Just talk to him, Gina.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44Try not to make all the mistakes your mother made.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Mr Griffiths, it's important you understand.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56Some of the things it says in this diary are shocking.

0:30:56 > 0:31:01It's amazing that Sharpe was allowed to get away with this, that no-one's come forward...

0:31:01 > 0:31:04I know what it says in the diary.

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- I've seen it.- You have?- Yes.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12Do you know any of the men who talked to the old doctor?

0:31:14 > 0:31:15Would they speak to me?

0:31:15 > 0:31:17I don't know.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21What about you? Did you know all this was going on?

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Could you give me details?

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Back it up?- I'm not sure.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27Would you put your name to it?

0:31:29 > 0:31:33Mr Lewis, can you give us a minute, alone?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Sure.

0:31:39 > 0:31:45Even if we weren't leaving, you couldn't stay here forever, Dan.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48- I could come with you.- No.- Why not?

0:31:48 > 0:31:52Because Dr Sharma and I aren't your parents.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54You have to go back to your dad.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56I don't want you to go.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I know.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03I'll never forget you, you know.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05Me neither.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07I got you a little something.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25Come on. Let's go and find your dad.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29If I do what he asks, Sharpe will ruin me.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32He's already ruining you.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Look at yourself.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36You don't know what it's like here.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38You don't know what will happen to me.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Can it be any worse than what's already happening to you now?

0:32:41 > 0:32:45You made a mistake. Admit it.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Pay the money back. Accept the consequences.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51Miners are my friends, the only friends I've got.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53If they find out I stole from them...

0:32:53 > 0:32:57At least be a friend to them. Come clean.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00You are a miner, a shop steward, a socialist.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06If you can't make the right decisions, then we're all lost.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14You can't ask me to do this, doctor.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18You know a lot more about Gandhi than I ever did, Owen Griffiths.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20But I do remember one thing he said.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Fear has its uses, but cowardice has none.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30Just listen to what Mr Lewis has to say.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32I'll leave you two alone to speak.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Megan.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51Prem.

0:33:51 > 0:33:52Can we talk?

0:33:54 > 0:33:55Yes.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00- I'm sorry about this morning... - No, I'm the one who should be sorry.

0:34:00 > 0:34:01For letting you down.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04- I was an idiot for losing that diary.- It doesn't matter.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Please let me have my say.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09I've always been the outsider in the village.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12You're the first person who's been there for me.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14You've helped me without judging.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16You've made me feel good about myself.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Megan, I...- No, please.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21I know you have your reasons for going,

0:34:21 > 0:34:24and that's none of my business.

0:34:24 > 0:34:28But I can't let you go without letting you know how much you've meant to me.

0:34:28 > 0:34:29Oh, Megan.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33I wouldn't have lasted five minutes here if it wasn't for you.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Really?

0:34:35 > 0:34:37You've given me a purpose.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41Reminded me of what it felt like to be alive.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46You'll miss us, you know.

0:34:46 > 0:34:47I'll miss you, you know.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Please don't go.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Megan!

0:35:01 > 0:35:02Megan.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Oh, hello, doctor.

0:35:05 > 0:35:10Sorry, Megan. Everyone's looking for you. It's Emlyn Dawkins and Ceri Joseph.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13The sheep contest.

0:35:15 > 0:35:16The sheep contest.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32This is your doing, Ceri Joseph.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36- No it isn't.- Every year... - No, it's not, it's you!

0:35:36 > 0:35:37Come on, boys behave!

0:35:37 > 0:35:40There you are, Megan. Tell him he's not getting away with it this year!

0:35:40 > 0:35:43What do you mean do you mean not getting away with it?

0:35:43 > 0:35:45All over a couple of sheep.

0:35:48 > 0:35:49Sylvia?

0:35:52 > 0:35:53What are you doing in here?

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Sylvia?

0:35:55 > 0:35:57You're drunk.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I haven't even started yet.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02What do you think you're doing? There are people out there.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05"Ooh, there are people out there." What's the matter, Dickie?

0:36:05 > 0:36:08Are you worried they'll see your "good lady wife" isn't so perfect after all?

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Or maybe it's you who isn't perfect.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Give me that.- No.- You're going home.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15I'm not going anywhere with you.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Sylvia!- Leave me alone!

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Stop it!

0:36:19 > 0:36:20FEEDBACK FROM MICROPHONE

0:36:20 > 0:36:22Don't make me slap you, Sylvia!

0:36:22 > 0:36:27- MIC TURNED ON: - 'Why would I want to go home with you? You're not even a real man.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29'I could have had any man in this village.'

0:36:29 > 0:36:31They all wanted me. The rugby player?

0:36:31 > 0:36:35- Shut up, Sylvia!- The miners can't keep their eyes off me.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37'The pop van boy? The one with the hair?

0:36:37 > 0:36:39'I had to fight him off.

0:36:39 > 0:36:45'Even the doctor fancies me. Every man in this village fancies me,'

0:36:45 > 0:36:49Except you! Fancy anyone calling you Dick.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51That's a joke.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54MUSIC: "Hit The Road Jack" by Ray Charles

0:36:56 > 0:36:58LAUGHTER

0:36:59 > 0:37:01You need a hand, Mrs Sharpe?

0:37:01 > 0:37:02It's not a hand she needs.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Come on now, Mr Sharpe. No hard feelings.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Steady on, Bryn. That's a bit stiff!

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Mr Sharpe.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18What would you say to the accusation

0:37:18 > 0:37:21that you've been risking men's lives to make your mine more profitable?

0:37:21 > 0:37:25And for years have been lying to your workforce and ignoring their safety?

0:37:25 > 0:37:29You aren't seriously going to listen to anything he says?

0:37:29 > 0:37:33And I should remind you, Dr Sharma, to be more careful

0:37:33 > 0:37:37with accusations in a country in which you are a guest.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40I'm not making any accusations whatsoever, Mr Sharpe.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43I'm merely relaying the words of my predecessor. Dr Elwyn Thomas.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47Elwyn was an obsessive, senile old man

0:37:47 > 0:37:52who had no idea what was going on in my mine.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54But there are men who do, Mr Sharpe.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58Men who have first hand experience of what goes on in your mine.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00Who? What men, Dr Sharma?

0:38:03 > 0:38:09You don't seem to have much support. Basically because you're not one of us.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13I'll support him. Every word in that diary is true.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16And there's a lot more that Elwyn didn't know.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19That man is a thief and a drunkard.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21If you want to know how much he can be trusted,

0:38:21 > 0:38:25ask him where the missing money from the miner's benevolent fund is.

0:38:26 > 0:38:34It's true. Do whatever you want with me later, but don't let this liar get away with it.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36I don't have to listen to you.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Then perhaps you'd be prepared to answer to the press, Mr Sharpe.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Dafydd Lewis, Pontypridd Observer.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43What do you say to the allegations...

0:38:43 > 0:38:48All this lung disease nonsense is nothing has got nothing to do with my mine!

0:38:48 > 0:38:53They just smoke too much.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55This is all a joke to you, isn't it?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58Well, it isn't to us. More men are going to die because of you.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Sylvia!

0:39:04 > 0:39:10You don't deserve what I did for your mine. None of you!

0:39:18 > 0:39:19Dan! Where have you been?

0:39:37 > 0:39:41Sometimes when you've found someone you think you could really be happy with.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47Well, it's just not meant to be.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54But I love him.

0:39:54 > 0:39:58I know. And I think he loves you too.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00In his way.

0:40:00 > 0:40:06What happens if he goes away and I never see him again?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10I don't know.

0:40:18 > 0:40:23Someone once told me that if you want someone badly you have to go out and get it.

0:40:27 > 0:40:28Maybe they're right.

0:40:45 > 0:40:46THEY PLAY "HEATWAVE"

0:41:00 > 0:41:01Come with me.

0:41:01 > 0:41:04On stage?

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- No. To London.- I can't.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08Us two, together. Taking on the world!

0:41:10 > 0:41:11Why not? What's stopping us?

0:41:11 > 0:41:15I'm pregnant.

0:41:15 > 0:41:16Come on!

0:41:23 > 0:41:28# Whenever I'm with you Something inside

0:41:28 > 0:41:31# Starts burning... #

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Care to dance?

0:41:36 > 0:41:38# Something's got a hold on me

0:41:38 > 0:41:41# Is this the way love's supposed to be

0:41:41 > 0:41:43# It's like a heatwave

0:41:43 > 0:41:46# Burning in my heart

0:41:46 > 0:41:48# Can't keep on crying

0:41:48 > 0:41:51# It's tearing me apart

0:41:51 > 0:41:55# Whenever you call my name... #

0:41:55 > 0:41:57You'll miss him, won't you?

0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Yes.- I'll miss all of them.

0:42:00 > 0:42:01I hope they'll be OK.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Why wouldn't they be?

0:42:03 > 0:42:08If the results of the x-rays are bad,

0:42:08 > 0:42:11a lot of these men and their families are going to suffer terribly.

0:42:11 > 0:42:14- I don't suppose we'll ever know.- No.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20- We could always wait until the results come back.- What?

0:42:20 > 0:42:22It'll be a couple of weeks.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24One or two months, maximum.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Prem, you're impossible!

0:42:40 > 0:42:42# Sometimes I stare in space

0:42:42 > 0:42:45# Tears all over my face

0:42:45 > 0:42:49# Can't explain it Don't understand it

0:42:49 > 0:42:51# I never felt like this before

0:42:51 > 0:42:55# This kind of feeling's got me amazed

0:42:55 > 0:42:58# Don't know what to do My head's in a haze

0:42:58 > 0:42:59# Like a heatwave

0:42:59 > 0:43:02# Burning in my heart

0:43:02 > 0:43:05# It's like a heatwave

0:43:05 > 0:43:08# Burning in my heart

0:43:08 > 0:43:11# It's like a heatwave. #
