REPORTER: Northern India, where doctors are battling a deadly foe -

0:00:060:00:10

smallpox.

0:00:100:00:12

A new and perilous epidemic has already infected many thousands.

0:00:120:00:16

Vast areas of the country remain under threat,

0:00:160:00:20

and fresh vaccination supplies are being rushed to the scene.

0:00:200:00:24

Meanwhile, at home, the Ministry of Health has ordered

0:00:240:00:27

that in future all visitors from India will require

0:00:270:00:30

proof of vaccination before being allowed into the country

0:00:300:00:33

until this lethal disease is brought under control.

0:00:330:00:36

Any minute now.

0:00:480:00:49

Don't do that.

0:00:490:00:50

Sorry.

0:00:500:00:52

Just try to look happy.

0:00:520:00:54

TRAIN WHISTLES

0:00:550:00:57

That sounds like her.

0:00:570:00:59

What's the matter, why are you pulling that bizarre face?

0:01:010:01:04

You said, "Try to look happy." Happy, not demented.

0:01:040:01:09

What sort of face should I pull? Don't pull any face.

0:01:090:01:12

She thinks the world of you, you know that.

0:01:120:01:15

Mummy! Kamini!

0:01:400:01:42

It's been so long! I'm so excited!

0:01:420:01:46

And Prem, hello.

0:01:460:01:48

Maji, welcome to Wales.

0:01:480:01:50

GUARD: Bloody hell! Oi! That one, as well.

0:01:500:01:53

You want to be a boss, the way you're talking.

0:01:530:01:55

Don't lose any, I've counted them.

0:01:550:01:57

You must be exhausted - let's get home. It's been so tiring.

0:01:570:02:01

Such a long journey.

0:02:030:02:05

Sorry about that. It's you I feel sorry for, but...!

0:02:060:02:10

GUARD'S WHISTLE

ENGINE STARTS

0:02:260:02:27

Prem's practice is doing so well.

0:02:290:02:31

You know how the patients were at first, but they're fine now.

0:02:310:02:36

I can't believe it's been a year since we came.

0:02:360:02:39

It took a while for us to fit in.

0:02:390:02:41

It's all been a big success, hasn't it, Prem?

0:02:420:02:45

It has.

0:02:450:02:47

Excellent.

0:02:470:02:48

LAUGHTER AND SHOUTING

0:02:510:02:54

This is the mine morning shift just finishing.

0:02:540:02:58

They work around the clock. Gosh, they look like minstrels!

0:02:590:03:02

That's what they used to say about us.

0:03:020:03:04

Let's be in the bath before you!

0:03:040:03:07

That's the new preacher, Reverend Todd.

0:03:070:03:10

He's just arrived from Kenya - he was a missionary there. How exotic!

0:03:100:03:14

He's only been here a month. He wants to save the village.

0:03:140:03:17

Quite the evangelist.

0:03:170:03:20

He's very pious, I'm sure you'll get on well with him.

REVEREND TODD: Verity?

0:03:300:03:33

Verity, where are you?!

0:03:350:03:37

What are you doing? Reading.

0:03:430:03:46

You're not spending the summer holidays lying on that bed

0:03:480:03:51

listening to pop music - there's work to be done.

0:03:510:03:54

OK.

0:03:540:03:56

You have to understand that I'm here to work.

0:03:560:03:58

This village needs our help.

0:03:580:04:01

And what do you want me to do?

0:04:010:04:02

For goodness sake. The floor of the hall needs cleaning before tonight.

0:04:020:04:07

I'll do it now. Please do. I'll see you later.

0:04:070:04:11

Oh, I was thinking I might call Mummy.

0:04:120:04:15

Your mother left this family to start a new life elsewhere.

0:04:170:04:20

It would be best for you to accept that.

0:04:200:04:23

And to pray for her lost soul.

0:04:230:04:25

Please have the floor cleaned by lunchtime.

0:04:260:04:29

Right.

0:04:290:04:31

Thank you.

0:04:310:04:32

So, Mummy, this is home.

0:04:460:04:50

Tu kaha ray?

0:04:500:04:51

Come in, come in.

0:04:550:04:56

So, this is the surgery.

0:04:590:05:03

May I take that for you? This way.

0:05:030:05:05

Would you like a cuppa?

0:05:230:05:25

A what?

0:05:250:05:27

A cup of tea. Oh, yes.

0:05:270:05:29

Hello, Prem.

0:05:340:05:36

Megan.

0:05:370:05:39

How are you?

0:05:390:05:40

Well. I can see that.

0:05:400:05:43

You look really well.

0:05:430:05:45

Thank you. I've been in London.

0:05:460:05:49

I've missed you.

0:05:500:05:52

My mother-in-law's just arrived from India.

0:05:560:05:59

I'd better leave you to it then.

0:06:010:06:03

SHE GASPS Prem, come here a minute.

0:06:150:06:19

Look at this, isn't it wonderful?

0:06:200:06:24

Yes, it is.

0:06:240:06:25

Er, ladies, excuse me, I think I heard my first patients arriving.

0:06:250:06:30

I'll see you later, Maji. Of course.

0:06:300:06:32

I can't wait to wear it.

0:06:320:06:34

So, tell me about Loli's husband. Nice, no looks.

0:06:340:06:38

I heard he was a bit...

0:06:380:06:40

Does he have a moustache?

0:06:410:06:43

Big ears.

0:06:440:06:46

Oh, Mummy, poor girl.

0:06:480:06:50

Doctor, I'm in a hurry, so could I...?

0:06:500:06:52

I've got a verruca the size of Vesuvius!

0:06:520:06:54

And I've got a bunion the size of the Rock of Gibraltar.

0:06:540:06:58

BABY CRIES

0:06:580:07:00

One moment, please.

0:07:000:07:03

Gina, where have you been?

0:07:050:07:08

I'm sorry, my mum couldn't take Nye.

0:07:080:07:10

You can't keep bringing your baby into work.

0:07:100:07:13

The patients can take turns with him. They're here because they're sick.

0:07:130:07:17

Do you want Nye to get ill?

0:07:170:07:19

It's totally unacceptable. I'm sorry. It just can't go on.

0:07:190:07:23

Please don't cry.

0:07:260:07:28

I'm so sorry, it's all my fault.

0:07:340:07:36

Well, yes.

0:07:360:07:37

Please don't sack me, I really need this job.

0:07:370:07:41

I'm not going to sack you, but you really must stop crying.

0:07:410:07:44

I can't. I'm at the end of my tether, it's hopeless.

0:07:440:07:48

No-one understands. Reverend Todd won't baptise Nye,

0:07:480:07:52

I mean, what if he died?

0:07:520:07:53

Stop talking nonsense.

0:07:530:07:56

Or I will sack you.

0:07:560:07:58

And I'll hire Nye instead.

0:07:580:08:00

That's better. Now, dry your tears and send in the first patient.

0:08:020:08:05

Doctor, would you speak to Reverend Todd about Nye?

0:08:050:08:10

It would mean so much to my nan. I'll see what I can do.

0:08:110:08:14

Give him to me.

0:08:160:08:17

MUSIC PLAYS ON THE RADIO

0:08:250:08:28

Thank you, Verity. I'll see you later.

0:08:310:08:34

Ah, ladies.

0:08:470:08:48

Please do come, it'll be a most interesting evening, I promise you.

0:08:480:08:53

At 85 he's opened a new school for underprivileged kids. Excuse me.

0:08:560:09:01

Could you look after the baby, please? Yes. This is news to me.

0:09:010:09:05

Prem's receptionist, this is her baby.

0:09:050:09:07

He's just adorable.

0:09:070:09:09

Every home needs children.

0:09:090:09:12

Yes, adorable. Um, excuse me.

0:09:120:09:15

Why isn't this girl's family looking after the baby?

0:09:170:09:20

It is all a bit of a mess. The boy's father's abandoned her.

0:09:200:09:23

He's gone off to London to be a pop star.

0:09:230:09:25

The boy's family have done nothing?

0:09:250:09:27

It doesn't work like that here, Mummy. I see.

0:09:270:09:31

Reverend! How lovely to see you.

0:09:330:09:36

And you, Mrs Davies.

0:09:360:09:38

I do hope you'll be coming to my talk this evening? Oh, yes.

0:09:380:09:42

I'm sure it will be fascinating.

0:09:420:09:45

Can I just say, I think you were so brave going out there

0:09:450:09:48

and working with the pygmies?

0:09:480:09:51

I hear there's going to be a slideshow.

0:09:510:09:54

Yes, lots of slides. Oh, well, definitely don't want to miss that.

0:09:540:09:58

You will put the word round for me, won't you?

0:09:580:10:00

I'm hoping for a full house. I'll do my best, Reverend,

0:10:000:10:03

but I'm afraid the only full house you get round here is at the bingo.

0:10:030:10:07

Good.

0:10:070:10:09

Look at your face.

0:10:140:10:16

Look at your beautiful little face.

0:10:160:10:18

You need a change, don't you, Nye?

0:10:180:10:20

Excuse me for a minute.

0:10:200:10:23

Come on.

0:10:230:10:24

Who are you? Dan, who are you?

0:10:480:10:50

That's none of your business.

0:10:500:10:53

Are you the houseboy? Yeah, I suppose so.

0:10:530:10:56

Is there anything to eat? I'm starving.

0:10:560:10:58

Get your feet off this minute or I'll have you thrown out!

0:10:580:11:01

No-one's allowed to hurt me, that's the rules here.

0:11:010:11:04

You stay right here.

0:11:040:11:05

Kamini?

0:11:090:11:10

Kamini, the houseboy just walked into the living room

0:11:120:11:14

and put his feet up as though he owned the place.

0:11:140:11:17

Oh, no, that's Dan, Owen Griffiths' boy.

0:11:170:11:19

He stays here from time to time. What?

0:11:190:11:22

His father drinks.

0:11:220:11:24

He's an alcoholic? Dan comes to us when things are bad.

0:11:240:11:28

I'm teaching him to write, he's really very clever.

0:11:280:11:31

This isn't a family, it's a menagerie.

0:11:310:11:34

I'm going to go say my prayers. Good idea.

0:11:340:11:38

There, that's better, isn't it?

0:11:380:11:41

Mr Griffiths. Reverend Todd.

0:11:440:11:48

Making an early start, I see.

0:11:480:11:51

Each to his own, eh, Reverend?

0:11:510:11:54

I'm doing a little talk in the hall tonight

0:11:540:11:57

about my experiences in Kenya - perhaps you'd like to come?

0:11:570:12:00

Let me see now...

0:12:000:12:03

There are two main reasons why I won't be going.

0:12:030:12:05

Firstly, because I turned my back on religion, oh, 40 years ago,

0:12:050:12:09

on account of it being a load of old mumbo jumbo.

0:12:090:12:13

The opiate of the people.

0:12:130:12:15

The second -

0:12:150:12:16

I reckon the Africans were better off before the white man

0:12:160:12:19

arrived and stole their lands.

0:12:190:12:21

Tell me, how is Dan?

0:12:220:12:25

Fine.

0:12:250:12:27

I gather he's been staying with the Sharmas again.

0:12:270:12:29

What's that got to do with you?

0:12:290:12:32

Your drinking -

0:12:320:12:34

he's the one who's paying the price.

0:12:340:12:36

That, Mr Todd, is none of your business.

0:12:360:12:40

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:12:460:12:47

Last patient.

0:12:470:12:49

It's Emlyn Dawkins again.

0:12:490:12:51

Emlyn, come in. Take a seat.

0:12:530:12:56

What can I do for you...today?

0:13:000:13:03

I've lost a bit of weight. Yes, I can see that.

0:13:050:13:08

And I'm all out of sorts again.

0:13:080:13:12

I thought maybe you could give me some of them...

0:13:120:13:15

pet pills.

0:13:150:13:17

Well, let's not turn to drugs just yet.

0:13:170:13:20

Will you watch this baby for me for a minute?

0:13:200:13:24

Yeah, all right.

0:13:240:13:25

You like chewing your thumb, don't you, Nye?

0:13:270:13:30

You really know how to make him smile, don't you?

0:13:300:13:34

HE COUGHS

0:13:340:13:36

Dan, don't cough all over that baby.

0:13:360:13:39

Who coughed all over you? ..Have you got a cold?

0:13:390:13:42

Nah, I'm all right.

0:13:420:13:44

Oooh, who coughed all over you?

0:13:470:13:48

Why don't you go to your room and read for a while, huh?

0:13:500:13:53

Who coughed all over you?

0:13:540:13:56

Emlyn, it's always lovely to see you,

0:13:560:13:59

but what's really going on?

0:13:590:14:02

It's just my life.

0:14:050:14:07

It's so boring, Doctor.

0:14:070:14:10

I mean, if it was like Z cars, now - criminals, cheeses, robberies -

0:14:100:14:13

I'd be fine.

0:14:130:14:14

But the most exciting thing that happened to me last week

0:14:140:14:17

was a missing sheep. What Bobby wouldn't be depressed?

0:14:170:14:21

Emlyn, you have a good life.

0:14:210:14:24

You live in a nice community, you're well respected,

0:14:240:14:28

you have your health.

0:14:280:14:29

Contentment is about appreciating the things you HAVE got.

0:14:310:14:35

Yeah, I think I understand.

0:14:350:14:37

Maybe I should get myself a hobby.

0:14:370:14:41

Exactly. Something you're passionate about.

0:14:410:14:43

I've got this mate who goes potholing. Good idea.

0:14:430:14:47

But I get terrible claustrophobic. Oh.

0:14:470:14:50

And then, my brother's very keen on climbing, I could try that. You could, you could.

0:14:500:14:55

But I get terrible vertigo.

0:14:550:14:56

Well, then it's probably not the thing for you.

0:14:560:15:00

Sometimes you just have to seek the beauty in the world around you.

0:15:010:15:06

Seek the beauty around you.

0:15:080:15:11

Righto, I'll give it a go.

0:15:150:15:17

Good luck.

0:15:170:15:19

Megan? Is that you?

0:15:280:15:31

Hello, Emlyn. Welcome home.

0:15:310:15:35

I hardly recognised you, you look so different -

0:15:350:15:38

that dress, and your hair.

0:15:380:15:41

You'll have me blushing in a minute, now stop it.

0:15:410:15:45

It's very sweet of you, Emlyn.

0:15:450:15:48

You've made my day.

0:15:480:15:49

I'll see you around. Yes, you will.

0:15:490:15:53

Gina!

0:16:110:16:12

Gina! Shh, Prem!

0:16:140:16:17

I just managed to get the baby off to sleep.

0:16:170:16:19

I'm sorry, I thought I was in my own surgery.

0:16:190:16:22

Sorry, the door was open, not interrupting, I hope. Not at all, Reverend Todd.

0:16:220:16:26

Mrs Sharma, am I right in thinking your mother's arrived?

0:16:260:16:29

Yes, she's making herself at home.

0:16:290:16:31

Ah, Dan, will you be coming to Bible class tomorrow night?

0:16:310:16:36

Ah, sorry, can't stop, I've got an appointment.

0:16:360:16:38

Dan, you should be resting. Dan!

0:16:380:16:40

He shouldn't be out, he has a cold. Do come up. Thank you.

0:16:400:16:44

Dr Sharma...

0:16:480:16:51

Here.

0:16:510:16:53

That's four and nine, please.

0:16:570:17:00

Thank you so much. Goodbye now.

0:17:000:17:04

And what can I do for you, Dan?

0:17:070:17:09

Have you got any corned beef? Mrs Sharma sent me out for some.

0:17:090:17:13

I thought Hindus worshipped cows.

0:17:130:17:15

What's she doing eating corned beef?

0:17:150:17:17

I don't know, but her mum's a beggar for it.

0:17:170:17:19

You've only got luncheon meat on the shelf,

0:17:190:17:21

have you got some in the back?

0:17:210:17:23

Might have, somewhere.

0:17:230:17:26

Here we are, half a crown.

0:17:340:17:37

Oh, no, she asked for Fray Bentos.

0:17:370:17:39

Corned beef is corned beef.

0:17:390:17:41

I know, but the old lady's really fussy. Thanks, anyway.

0:17:410:17:45

Right.

0:17:450:17:47

And I believe Ganesha is the elephant-headed god

0:17:500:17:54

who rides a rat to represent his subjugation of the demon vanity.

0:17:540:17:57

In a manner of speaking.

0:17:570:17:59

And I'm most drawn to the idea of Shiva's neck turning blue

0:17:590:18:01

because he drank poison as an act of self-sacrifice.

0:18:010:18:05

Much like Christ carrying away the sins of the world on the cross.

0:18:050:18:09

Exactly.

0:18:090:18:10

You certainly know your Hindu deities, Reverend.

0:18:100:18:13

Tell me, what denomination are you?

0:18:130:18:15

I think of myself as a nonconformist-nonconformist.

0:18:150:18:20

What does that mean, exactly?

0:18:200:18:22

Well, my philosophy's quite simple - actions speak louder than words. They do.

0:18:220:18:26

In fact, I wondered if we might collaborate on a project, Doctor.

0:18:270:18:32

What might that be?

0:18:320:18:34

Dan's father, Owen - I saw him this morning outside the pub already drunk.

0:18:340:18:37

He's making himself ill, isn't he?

0:18:370:18:40

I'm sorry, I can't discuss a patient.

0:18:400:18:43

What if we get him to sign the pledge?

0:18:430:18:46

What is that?

0:18:460:18:47

We have a long tradition of temperance in this country.

0:18:470:18:50

By signing the pledge, a man - or indeed a woman -

0:18:500:18:54

makes an undertaking before God never to drink alcohol again.

0:18:540:18:57

Good luck with that.

0:18:570:18:59

Could I not count on your support?

0:18:590:19:01

Well, of course, it would be a good idea if Owen stopped drinking,

0:19:030:19:08

but, as a doctor... You see, that's the problem with scientists,

0:19:080:19:12

they think the body and spirit are separate.

0:19:120:19:15

Well, it seems I have an ally in this house, Mrs Bakshi.

0:19:150:19:18

Please, call me Pushpa. You must call me Herbert.

0:19:180:19:21

Don't you dare mess up my floor, you horrid little urchin.

0:19:330:19:36

Sorry.

0:19:360:19:39

My friends are on holiday somewhere exotic

0:19:410:19:44

and I'm stuck here in this filthy, dull little place,

0:19:440:19:47

mopping a floor and talking to you.

0:19:470:19:49

What do you mean? Trefelin's got it all.

0:19:490:19:51

That's true - there are no coalmines on the Kings Road.

0:19:510:19:56

What do you want?

0:19:560:19:57

I want to see the treasures, same as last time.

0:19:570:20:01

And do you have what I asked for?

0:20:010:20:03

Ah, you beauty.

0:20:060:20:07

The treasures?

0:20:070:20:09

Well, you must be exhausted after your long journey.

0:20:140:20:18

I'll leave you all in peace.

0:20:180:20:21

Thank you.

0:20:230:20:25

Oh, will I see you all this evening? We'll be there.

0:20:250:20:27

Good, you can meet my daughter, Verity.

0:20:270:20:29

She's home from boarding school for the summer.

0:20:290:20:32

I'm sure she'll benefit from some quiet contemplation away from the distraction of the city.

0:20:320:20:37

Trefelin must seem so dull to her.

0:20:370:20:39

Will we be meeting Mrs Todd?

0:20:390:20:41

No, she's, er...she's away.

0:20:410:20:43

Well, thank you so much for the tea.

0:20:430:20:46

Until this evening. Thank you.

0:20:520:20:55

Dr Sharma...

0:20:550:20:56

Reverend, I believe you know my receptionist, Gina.

0:20:560:21:00

Yes, of course, hello, Gina. Hello.

0:21:000:21:02

Gina was rather hoping to talk to you about Nye.

0:21:030:21:06

How can I help?

0:21:060:21:08

It was about the baptism.

0:21:080:21:10

Well, once you and the boy's father are married,

0:21:100:21:13

it will give me great pleasure to baptise the child.

0:21:130:21:16

But that might not ever happen, that's not Nye's fault.

0:21:160:21:19

What if he died and then he wasn't baptised?

0:21:190:21:21

He would go to hell, wouldn't he? That's not fair!

0:21:210:21:25

As I said, once you're wed we can discuss the baptism.

0:21:250:21:29

Thank you again for the tea.

0:21:290:21:31

Dr Sharma!

0:21:320:21:34

Reverend! A moment, please. Yes, of course.

0:21:390:21:43

Gina - it would mean so much to her if you would do the baptism.

0:21:430:21:46

I understand, and I would like to help,

0:21:460:21:49

but as I'm sure you will agree, if I were to baptise that child,

0:21:490:21:52

it would be seen as an endorsement of her behaviour.

0:21:520:21:55

She's been through such a lot. There is a wave of permissiveness sweeping across this country

0:21:550:21:59

and it's young girls like Gina who are paying the price. I agree.

0:21:590:22:02

The best solution would be for the father of the child to return

0:22:020:22:05

and take up his responsibility.

0:22:050:22:07

Yes, if... There's only one thing that will bring him back,

0:22:070:22:10

and that's shame.

0:22:100:22:11

There's more than enough shame in her life as it is.

0:22:120:22:15

What she needs is compassion and forgiveness -

0:22:150:22:17

that is Christ's message, is it not?

0:22:170:22:19

I see you find my attitude unyielding, Doctor. But believe me,

0:22:220:22:26

I have the girl's best interests at heart, and those of her baby.

0:22:260:22:30

I look forward to seeing you this evening.

0:22:300:22:33

Don't you try pulling the wool over my eyes, Mr Joseph, you cannot park that tractor there.

0:22:380:22:42

There's only the one, sergeant. Rubbish!

0:22:420:22:45

I've seen you park it there a dozen times before. You're nicked.

0:22:450:22:48

BELL JINGLES

0:22:480:22:51

Fine-looking woman.

0:22:560:22:58

Eh?

0:22:580:22:59

Play your cards right, and you could be in there.

0:22:590:23:03

It's got nothing to do with you. I'm only saying. Well, don't!

0:23:030:23:08

Right you are.

0:23:080:23:11

You park that tractor there again

0:23:130:23:15

and I will have you up in front of a magistrate.

0:23:150:23:17

You disgusting little boy, use a handkerchief, not that.

0:23:280:23:32

Are these from Africa?

0:23:350:23:37

You do know you can go to hell for that?

0:23:390:23:43

I really don't know why you're so interested, it's just old junk.

0:23:470:23:51

It's witchcraft, isn't it?

0:23:510:23:52

I just love the embroidery. I knew you would.

0:23:550:23:59

I had it done by Rukhsana. Do you remember her? Yes.

0:23:590:24:03

She used to embroider all your frocks when you were little.

0:24:030:24:07

It's beautiful, Mummy.

0:24:070:24:08

Thank you.

0:24:100:24:11

Ah, you're back. What have you been up to all day? Oh, this and that.

0:24:190:24:23

I can imagine.

0:24:230:24:24

Are you all right? I feel hot. You are.

0:24:270:24:31

Bit swollen, too. How long have you been feeling unwell? All day.

0:24:330:24:37

Right, go to bed. I'll get some aspirin.

0:24:370:24:40

Drink lots and lots of water.

0:24:400:24:42

He's unwell. I noticed that. Is he all right? Yes, I just sent to bed.

0:24:450:24:49

You'd better hurry up and get dressed, we're leaving soon.

0:24:490:24:52

Do I really need to go? You must, it would be rude not to.

0:24:520:24:55

And besides, it's an opportunity to introduce Mummy to a few people.

0:24:550:24:59

Dan is unwell. Maji, you look splendid. Thank you.

0:24:590:25:02

Why aren't you ready? We are about to leave. Sadly, I can't come.

0:25:020:25:06

The boy is unwell. My duties come first.

0:25:060:25:09

What a pity, I was so looking forward to it. But have a lovely evening.

0:25:090:25:13

See you later. Come on, Mummy.

0:25:130:25:15

# I put a spell on you... #

0:25:260:25:28

Don't fidget, Verity.

0:25:280:25:30

We have to be presentable.

0:25:310:25:34

# Because you're mine... #

0:25:340:25:36

Good day.

0:25:410:25:43

# Stop the things you do... #

0:25:430:25:46

So glad you could make it.

0:25:460:25:48

# I ain't lying... #

0:25:510:25:53

Mrs Davies, welcome. I wouldn't have missed this for the world.

0:25:530:25:57

I've made you some Welsh cakes. Perfect for after the show.

0:25:570:26:02

Don't seem to be many here. Oh, I'm sure there'll be a late surge.

0:26:020:26:08

Good evening, Verity.

0:26:110:26:12

I'm sure you're looking forward to your father's film show.

0:26:120:26:16

Very much so. These are for later.

0:26:160:26:20

# Because you're mi-i-i-ine. #

0:26:220:26:27

Emlyn. Not disturbing you, am I?

0:26:310:26:32

No, no. Not at all.

0:26:320:26:34

Mrs Sharma, Pushpa. I'm so glad you could make it.

0:26:420:26:46

We're not late, I hope.

0:26:460:26:47

No, just about to dim the lights. Excellent.

0:26:470:26:50

If you'd like to take a seat...

0:26:500:26:52

Mummy, this is Mrs Davies who runs the local shop.

0:26:520:26:55

It's Pushpa, isn't it? How do you do? Very well, thank you.

0:26:550:26:59

You've picked quite the day to arrive - everything is happening.

0:26:590:27:04

We should sit down.

0:27:040:27:05

I ordered you in some corned beef, one of the posh brands,

0:27:050:27:09

I know it's your favourite. Corned beef?

0:27:090:27:12

But we are Hindus. Your secret is safe with me.

0:27:120:27:15

REVEREND: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome.

0:27:190:27:23

Verity, if we could have the lights, please.

0:27:230:27:26

You're in love?!

0:27:270:27:29

You said seek the beauty in the world around you -

0:27:290:27:32

I was walking down the high street and there she appeared,

0:27:320:27:35

right in front of my eyes, like a dream.

0:27:350:27:37

Er, good! May I know the name of this goddess?

0:27:390:27:43

No, no, no, no. I don't want to jinx it. That's fair enough.

0:27:430:27:46

Well, I think my work here is done. Good luck with it.

0:27:460:27:49

That's the problem, you see, Doctor.

0:27:490:27:51

When it comes to courting women, I get all tongue tied.

0:27:510:27:55

Well, just be yourself. But I'm not confident at being myself.

0:27:550:27:58

In a professional capacity you are very confident. Be bold, be brave!

0:27:580:28:02

A woman likes a man who knows how to give orders.

0:28:020:28:05

I got the impression in this house it was your wife wearing the trousers.

0:28:050:28:08

That's just... what I want her to think.

0:28:080:28:12

Very good, very clever, Doctor.

0:28:140:28:17

Now, here we see some Masai tribeswomen.

0:28:170:28:21

You will notice their elaborate decoration.

0:28:210:28:24

Harmless enough, you may think.

0:28:240:28:26

But if we put too much thought into the predilection

0:28:260:28:30

of our self image, there is a risk that we, like the Pharisees,

0:28:300:28:33

will become oblivious to the feelings and needs of others.

0:28:330:28:36

This is an eternal truth we would do well to observe.

0:28:360:28:40

Now, it's the turn of the men.

0:28:410:28:43

This is a group of males grooming each other's hair.

0:28:450:28:49

Try this exercise. Say to yourself,

0:28:490:28:51

"I am in command.

0:28:510:28:54

"I am decisive.

0:28:540:28:56

"I am confident." Say it.

0:28:560:28:59

I am in command.

0:29:010:29:02

I am...

0:29:020:29:04

decisive. No, no, no, no. With conviction. Believe it!

0:29:040:29:08

I am confident. Yes, again.

0:29:100:29:12

I am confident. Yes.

0:29:140:29:17

I am in command. You are.

0:29:170:29:20

And you, woman, are going to do what I say or there'll be trouble!

0:29:200:29:24

Maybe not quite that confident.

0:29:240:29:27

Sorry, Doctor.

0:29:270:29:28

Well, I think you're ready. Go for it, tiger!

0:29:310:29:34

Thanks again, Doctor. Not at all.

0:29:340:29:36

Doctor...will you come with me?

0:29:380:29:40

Again, they are focused on outward appearance.

0:29:420:29:46

Throughout my ministry, I have sought to guide man away from the poverty of

0:29:460:29:52

outward appearance to the bountiful and rich terrain of our inner lives.

0:29:520:29:58

The treasures of the spirit where true joy and harmony can flourish.

0:29:580:30:03

Now, here is a remarkable fellow.

0:30:080:30:10

His name is Lessang Guiny Guiny, and there he is with his wife and child.

0:30:100:30:16

They were the first of many natives I was able to bring under my wing.

0:30:160:30:21

How was this achieved, you may ask?

0:30:210:30:23

Well, I began by telling them of the Hebrews,

0:30:230:30:27

who, as I'm sure you'll remember, were promised land,

0:30:270:30:30

but had to take it by force one town at a time.

0:30:300:30:34

In the same way, we are promised the gift of self-control,

0:30:340:30:39

and yet we also must take it by force. I need the boys' room.

0:30:390:30:45

Self-control is the first step towards freeing our hearts

0:30:470:30:51

and spirits.

0:30:510:30:53

We must pursue this goal with vigour and avoid distractions.

0:30:530:30:58

All right?

0:31:120:31:13

You shouldn't be smoking. It's bad for you.

0:31:150:31:18

Give us a drag.

0:31:200:31:21

What happened to your eye?

0:31:250:31:27

Captain of the rugby team. We had a game last weekend.

0:31:280:31:32

Rough, was it?

0:31:320:31:34

We won easy.

0:31:340:31:36

Got this in the pub after.

0:31:360:31:38

What's it like down a mine?

0:31:420:31:44

All right. Did you get scared?

0:31:450:31:48

I've been down that pit for 14 years. You get used to it.

0:31:480:31:52

I bet it's filthy.

0:31:520:31:54

Aye, and hotter than hell.

0:31:560:31:59

Some seams, they get so hot,

0:32:000:32:03

you can't touch the walls,

0:32:030:32:05

they're that boiling,

0:32:050:32:08

and the air...

0:32:080:32:09

gets so wet, feels like you're drowning.

0:32:090:32:14

You must sweat a lot.

0:32:150:32:17

Like pigs.

0:32:170:32:19

Sounds revolting.

0:32:210:32:22

# The night we met I knew I needed you so

0:32:360:32:42

# And if I had the chance, I'd never let you go... #

0:32:440:32:48

You are confident. You are in command. Evening, Emlyn.

0:32:480:32:53

What will it be, bitter or stout? Yes, please.

0:32:540:32:58

Bitter or stout? Oh, no, thank you. I don't want a drink.

0:32:590:33:04

This is a pub, Emlyn. Drinking is what people do here.

0:33:040:33:08

Are you all right?

0:33:080:33:10

I am brave, I am bold.

0:33:100:33:12

That's good to hear.

0:33:120:33:15

This is very important.

0:33:150:33:17

What is?

0:33:170:33:19

I've got something I want to say.

0:33:190:33:22

What?

0:33:220:33:23

You let me know, love. All right, Emlyn? Found that missing sheep yet?

0:33:280:33:32

He's been with her all weekend!

0:33:320:33:34

LAUGHTER

0:33:340:33:37

Dan? You should be in the bed.

0:33:450:33:48

I'm too hot.

0:33:480:33:50

The pills will start working in a minute. Here, let's get this off.

0:33:520:33:56

There we go.

0:33:570:33:58

Here, jump in.

0:34:000:34:02

Lie down.

0:34:070:34:08

Stay there.

0:34:140:34:15

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

0:34:150:34:17

Try to get some sleep.

0:34:190:34:21

"Good evening, Doctor. Hello, sergeant, won't you come in?"(!)

0:34:410:34:45

What happened? It's my nerves.

0:34:560:35:00

Worse than ever.

0:35:000:35:01

I stood there like a flaming idiot, talking nonsense.

0:35:010:35:06

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you. It's not your fault, Doctor.

0:35:060:35:10

It's me. I'm a fool.

0:35:100:35:12

You're not a fool, you're a decent man.

0:35:140:35:16

And any woman would be lucky to have you.

0:35:160:35:19

Maybe it would be an idea to put your feelings down on paper?

0:35:220:35:27

No, I'm no poet.

0:35:290:35:30

It doesn't have to be poetry. Just as long as it comes from the heart.

0:35:300:35:35

Will you help me?

0:35:370:35:38

This is the chapel on the day of its dedication just six months later.

0:35:400:35:45

By this time, our congregation numbered several hundred.

0:35:450:35:50

What a proud day that was for us all. (Where you been? Having a smoke.)

0:35:500:35:55

Here I am with four loyal elders

0:35:570:36:02

of my congregation.

0:36:020:36:04

Sadly, since the photograph of this happy occasion was taken,

0:36:060:36:10

these dear friends have crossed over.

0:36:100:36:13

Doubtless to their reward in heaven.

0:36:150:36:18

I think that was in fact the last slide.

0:36:330:36:36

Verity, if we could have the lights, please.

0:36:360:36:39

HE SIGHS

0:36:420:36:46

Right. Starting again.

0:36:460:36:48

When you saw her, how did it make you feel?

0:36:500:36:52

As if I had come alive. Well, why not talk about that?

0:36:540:36:57

How she fills you with 1,000 sunrises and sunsets.

0:37:010:37:07

How each dawn brings the hope that you might catch a glimpse of her.

0:37:070:37:14

Even for a few seconds.

0:37:150:37:17

And that when she smiles at you,

1,000 love songs could never do that moment justice.

0:37:210:37:26

You've got a way with words, Doctor. That was lovely.

0:37:300:37:32

Yes, well, it really should be in your own words.

0:37:340:37:38

I have to look in on Dan, he's not feeling very well.

0:37:380:37:42

Of course. Thank you, Doctor.

0:37:420:37:45

Thanks again, Doc. Night.

0:37:480:37:50

DAN COUGHS

0:37:540:37:57

Here, drink some water.

0:38:080:38:10

I feel terrible. My mouth's all swollen. OK. Let's take a look.

0:38:160:38:21

Close your eyes. Say "ah". Ah.

0:38:230:38:28

"Ah". Ah.

0:38:310:38:33

I'll be right back.

0:38:360:38:38

Corn beef? What was the boy playing at? A tight slap is what he needs.

0:38:580:39:02

Leave it to me, Mummy.

0:39:020:39:04

Give the boy a hiding and send him back to his father.

0:39:260:39:30

OK, Mummy, I'll deal with it.

0:39:300:39:32

Dan, you are in serious trouble.

0:39:330:39:35

We know what happened at the shop, now explain yourself.

0:39:350:39:38

Answer me, Dan. I'm sorry, please, I'm sorry.

0:39:390:39:43

You're soaking. Stay there.

0:39:430:39:45

Prem?

0:39:470:39:48

Dan has a terrible fever. Yes, yes.

0:40:010:40:04

So, what is it? I'm not sure. He has small red spots on his tongue.

0:40:090:40:14

We have to keep him cool. I'll get cold water and towels.

0:40:150:40:18

Dan? What did the boy have to say for himself? Dan is very ill.

0:40:290:40:34

He's gone. What? I can't find him. No, I told him he was in trouble.

0:40:360:40:41

The front door was open. Kamini, what on earth is happening?

0:40:410:40:45

It's Dan, he's run away. You stay here,

0:40:450:40:47

we'll be back as soon as we can.

0:40:470:40:48

Evening, Doctor. Mrs Sharma. Megan, have you seen Dan? He's run away.

0:40:550:41:01

No. What about Owen? I threw him out about an hour ago.

0:41:010:41:04

He was drunk as hell. Thank you.

0:41:040:41:07

He used to have a den at the old mine.

0:41:090:41:12

He hasn't mentioned it in months. We could try there.

0:41:120:41:16

Let's do that. It's really important we find him tonight. What is it?

0:41:160:41:21

I think he's got smallpox.

0:41:210:41:24

Stay right back!

0:41:490:41:52

I don't think I can do this. You must.

0:41:540:41:56

It'll be like losing Rani all over again.

0:41:560:41:59

Where did he get it from?

0:41:590:42:01

That's the question, isn't it?

0:42:010:42:04

I'm sorry, Mrs Davies,

0:42:050:42:07

I've got orders to close this shop with immediate effect.

0:42:070:42:09

You can't do that! Yes, I can.

0:42:090:42:12

KLAXON BLASTS That's the hooter.

0:42:120:42:14

What are they doing clocking off now?

0:42:140:42:16

Don't go! I'm on the rescue team.

0:42:160:42:19

There are only seven doses.

0:42:210:42:22

We're going to have to choose. Just seven people?

0:42:220:42:26

You have to isolate the village, set up roadblocks. People will panic.

0:42:260:42:29

If we don't contain this disease, people will die.

Continuing on BBC Two, it's... Wow! That looks complicated.

0:43:030:43:07

Whoa! How did they...?

0:43:070:43:09

It's... Oh, I don't... What...?

That's chocolate? I...
