0:00:20 > 0:00:24- Which it probably will be.- ..Mummy's promised to help.- Oh, that's nice.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27I'll be back for the interviews.

0:00:39 > 0:00:44"Dear Mummy, I am sorry I have taken so long to reply to you.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47"I hope you didn't worry. Everything here is fine.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49"We think we might have found a bigger surgery -

0:00:49 > 0:00:51"it's part of a big house.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57"Prem is finally going to see it today.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02"Life here is still busy.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07"Sian is getting used to living on her own since Gina and the baby

0:01:07 > 0:01:10"left for London.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14- "She's back to her normal self." - Oi! Get out of here!

0:01:16 > 0:01:18You...! Oh!

0:01:18 > 0:01:22"Megan and Emlyn have settled well into married life.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24"They seem very much in love.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35"Dan's doing very well in school.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36"He's such a clever boy."

0:01:37 > 0:01:42CAR HORN BEEPS

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Let's go follow it.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48"I really want to try to get a job

0:01:48 > 0:01:51"but Prem still needs plenty of looking after."

0:01:55 > 0:01:58"And, no, there's still no news on the baby front,

0:01:58 > 0:02:01"but I'm going to try what you suggested.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05"As you always say, "Anything is possible to a willing heart."

0:02:06 > 0:02:09CAR HORN BEEPS

0:02:12 > 0:02:13Dan!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16What are you doing here?

0:02:34 > 0:02:35CAR APPROACHES

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Good morning. I wasn't sure I got the time right.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51You were expecting me.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Yes, to show me around the house.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55To show you the house?

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Estate agent, no?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59I see!

0:02:59 > 0:03:03No. No. We're the owners. I'm Basil Thomas.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04This is my brother Robert.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Dr Prem Sharma.- Hello.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10What a coincidence, my brother here's a doctor also.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Very pleased to meet you, Dr Sharma.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15The local GP, I presume.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm sure you two will get along famously.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Well, look, we're very sorry to have wasted your time

0:03:21 > 0:03:26but I'm afraid we've decided to take the house off the market.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29I do hope you're not too disappointed.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30Not at all.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32My wife will be, though.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34We were looking for larger premises

0:03:34 > 0:03:36and she had her eye on this place, but...

0:03:36 > 0:03:38pretty sure we couldn't have afforded it.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Again, sorry to have wasted your time.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41No. No.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Actually, it's a relief.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Good day.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- Good day.- Good day.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's as much of a dump as I remember.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Why did you have to tell him I'm a doctor?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's always good to introduce yourself

0:04:12 > 0:04:15to the competition early on.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Hello, Father.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24We're home.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Come on, baby brother, chin up.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Remember why we're here.

0:04:32 > 0:04:33A new start.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36A new project for us both.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's what Daddy would have wanted.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42And aren't we just thrilled about it(?)

0:04:44 > 0:04:47Do you want to be stuck in this village all your life?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I don't care. I like here. Do you think it was a Mustang?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Whatever it was, the person driving it went to school.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- He didn't go to my school. - How do you know? School is school.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Anyway, you will never get a car like that

0:04:57 > 0:05:00- unless you finish your education. - I can do it.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01I can leave in the summer anyway.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05All the more reason to work hard now. Off you go.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'll be checking with your teacher you were there.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22KETTLE WHISTLES

0:05:28 > 0:05:31My mam used to swear by this for these summer colds.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33You go and sit down, and I'll bring it in to you.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35Shouldn't you be in work?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38My work is to look after the people of Trefelin...

0:05:38 > 0:05:40and that includes my wife.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46I hope you're not thinking of going to work today.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48No.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I'm sure Annie can cope for one more day.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Maybe you should pop by and see the doctor.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55And tell him I'm tired? Don't be silly.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Emlyn.- Is that enough?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Are you warm enough?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Maybe you should go back to bed. - Emlyn, I'm fine.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Would you like me to stay with you, perhaps?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11And have the crime rates shoot up just because of me?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12No.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15You go.

0:06:15 > 0:06:16Right-oh.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36We've got to smash the system, Daf.

0:06:36 > 0:06:37Do we have to do it today, Al?

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Yes, comrade. Every day is a new beginning, a new dawn.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Have you got the banner?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Banner!

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Come on.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55If you can just take a seat.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Well?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01It looks like it's going to be a busy morning.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Tell me.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- The house. - It's been taken off the market.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Never mind, there will be others.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Anyway, we're happy here. Send the first one in.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Of course.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Mrs Williams.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Please, sit down.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I didn't know that you were interested in becoming

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- a receptionist.- Oh, I'm not.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Ah, well, today I am interviewing... - I'm here about my Aled.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35He spends all day sitting around the place with that layabout Daf,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38talking a load of old rubbish about politics.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41He's got pictures all over his wall of that foreign gentleman,

0:07:41 > 0:07:44you know, the one with the beard. What's his name?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Oh, you know... I'm so worried about him.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Abraham Lincoln?- No, Aled.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Yes, of course, Mrs Williams. - Mr Che something...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Guevara.- He doesn't even get out of bed until midday.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Che Guevara? - No. No. Aled.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Mrs Williams...

0:07:59 > 0:08:01a healthy interest in politics

0:08:01 > 0:08:03- is hardly a medical matter. - Well, it will be.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06My nerves can't take much more of this.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09He needs to stop messing and get a proper job.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Could you talk to him?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Please, Dr... - I'll see what I can do.

0:08:15 > 0:08:16Thank you, Dr Sharma.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23All the...best.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24BELL DINGS

0:08:24 > 0:08:26You look lovely today, Sian.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Oh, go on with you. I'm too busy for idle chat.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Even busy you look lovely.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I need to ask you something.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- I need you as a wife. - What?

0:08:38 > 0:08:44Well, I need someone to agree to be my next of kin and...

0:08:44 > 0:08:47And I need someone with a phone number.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49- But... - CAR HORN BLARES

0:08:49 > 0:08:50Who on Earth...?

0:08:54 > 0:08:58That road hog nearly ran me off the road this morning.

0:09:00 > 0:09:05And why do you think you would make a good receptionist?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Because I know all about germs.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Germs.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Did you know they're everywhere?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, but you can leave the medical side of things to me.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Your job would include answering the phone...

0:09:17 > 0:09:21My last employer was very happy with my telephone manner.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- May I? - Of course.

0:09:23 > 0:09:24Bring, bring!

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Bring, bring!

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Bring, bring!

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Bring, bring!

0:09:30 > 0:09:31Bring, bring!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Who was your last employer?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Petra Sewage Works. Blockage or seepage?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39That's very...very good.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, look at you,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45just like film stars.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Wilfred Thomas' boys.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I can still remember baby-sitting for you like it was yesterday.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Such lovely little cherubs, you were.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I used to kiss their fat little bottoms.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59And how long are you staying?

0:09:59 > 0:10:00As long as you'll have us.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Won't you find this a bit dull after the bright lights of London?

0:10:04 > 0:10:08You were missing our Welsh cooking.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10And we missed the fresh air of home, didn't we?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13And the wonderful simplicity of the people.

0:10:13 > 0:10:19So... Look, we'd like to invite you to attend a party we're throwing

0:10:19 > 0:10:22tomorrow in the village hall. Will you come?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25We'll be honoured to attend, won't we?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Honoured, aye.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Excellent.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Until tomorrow, then.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Until tomorrow.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Oh, you look like your father.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Ta-ta, now.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54What on Earth am I going to wear?

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Myn uffarn i.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Mind the shop.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05Guess what? The Thomas boys are back.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Oh, look at their car.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16MEN LAUGHING

0:11:17 > 0:11:20It isn't. It is!

0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's Basil and Robert Thomas.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Griffiths. Owen Griffiths.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Haha! Good God!

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- How you doing? - Well, well.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Bit smart for the likes of us now, aren't you?

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Not at all. Not at all.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Beva Brendon and Winston Pew.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Well, what are you all drinking? First round's on me.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42CHEERING

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Guess what? Basil and Robert Thomas are back!

0:11:54 > 0:11:57LAUGHTER

0:11:57 > 0:12:00So, what makes you think that you would be suitable for this job?

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- I'd be good at keeping the patients amused.- Oh.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Why do bees hum?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10- I'm sorry?- Cos they don't know the words. Haha!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14SHE SINGS HIGH NOTES

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Thank you for coming in, Mrs Roberts. I was wondering,

0:12:17 > 0:12:21what is it that you think you can bring to the role of...?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25..receptionist.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Any short hand?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34SHE SINGS HIGH PITCHED

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Why did the chicken cross the road?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45I'll be in touch.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Last one. - (Thank God.)

0:13:03 > 0:13:04Mrs Daniels.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Mrs Daniels, thank you so much for coming in.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11And I was a doctor's receptionist before the war.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13He's certainly given you a glowing reference.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17"Reorganised all medical files, cross referenced against

0:13:17 > 0:13:21"surname, age, blood group, gender." Very impressive.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Why did you stop working, Mrs Daniels?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Well, I felt like it, dear.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh. You reduced waiting times by 50%,

0:13:29 > 0:13:33revolutionised the appointment system...

0:13:33 > 0:13:35If I offered you the job, when could you start?

0:13:35 > 0:13:39- Oh, I'm not sure that I want it yet, dear.- I'm sorry?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Well, it's a big step, isn't it?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yes, I suppose...

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Thank you for coming in. I'll let you know.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Whose is it?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Somebody who thinks they're above the law, I'd say.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00- How fast do you think it goes? - Too fast.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Must belong to someone really rich.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08They can afford to pay that then, can't they?

0:14:10 > 0:14:13I was really very sorry to hear about your father.

0:14:13 > 0:14:14Wonderful man.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Did so much for our community.

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Thank you.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20To Wilfred Thomas.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Father.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Afternoon, Mr Graham.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Pint of dark, please. - Here, I'll get that.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38I wouldn't bother if I was you, Mr Thomas.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40NCB Inspection Team.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43He's sniffing around to see if he can close us down.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Your father wouldn't have stood for that.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Oh, well, we're all friends here.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Well, how did it go? - Total waste of a morning.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Well, there is one candidate you haven't considered.- Really?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05She's a university graduate, she can type,

0:15:05 > 0:15:07very hard working and very efficient.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- She sounds ideal. Who? - Me.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16You're too good for this job, Kamini.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Anyway, you're too busy with the housework.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Emlyn.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23Dr Sharma. Kamini.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Any chance of a quick word, Dr?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Ah, come.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Well, Mummy, time to put your plan into action.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43It's just that I'm really worried about Megan.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46She's tired, very up and down, very snappy.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49It's as if she's always angry...

0:15:49 > 0:15:51with me.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54I know they do say women can get a touch of depression after

0:15:54 > 0:15:56they get married.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Life changes can cause some depression

0:15:59 > 0:16:02but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Listen, don't tell her that I came to see you, will you?

0:16:05 > 0:16:07But...

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Could you come up with some excuse to go by and see her?

0:16:12 > 0:16:14Er... Of course, Emlyn.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17- I'll drop in tomorrow. - Thank you, Prem.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22- There you go, lads. - Thanks.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Can we take drinks off a capitalist?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Think of it as wealth redistribution.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Whatever happened to Megan? Megan Howells.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37She works here usually. She married Emlyn Dawkins.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39Who? Fatty?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42He's done very well for himself.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45He's the village copper.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48My overriding memory of Fatty is his red face after rugby.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Blood, mud, tears and snot.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Oh, Mrs Sharma.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55Hello, Owen.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59Mrs Sharma has taken a shine to my boy Dan.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00Dan won't be home for dinner.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04I'm taking him to the library for a school project - it's about cars.

0:17:04 > 0:17:09Mrs Sharma. Basil Thomas. This is my brother Robert.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Hello.- I believe we met your husband earlier.- Oh, really?

0:17:12 > 0:17:16Yes, he said you'd be disappointed, the house no longer being for sale.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17It's a beautiful house, Mr Thomas.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- If it was mine, I wouldn't sell it either.- Thank you.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23My brother and I are hosting a social event in the village

0:17:23 > 0:17:24hall tomorrow evening.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27We'd be honoured if you could attend - your husband, too.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30We'd love to. Thank you very much.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Come on, Dan.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37MAN ON RADIO: West Bromwich Albion - nil.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Leicester City - four. Tottenham Hotspur - three.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Sheffield United - two. Stoke City - two.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Everton - one. West Ham United - one.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55Emlyn Dawkins, it's been years.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Robert Thomas.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Who'd have thought, back in school, that you'd be giving me

0:18:01 > 0:18:02- a parking ticket one day?- Ah.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Revenge for all those rugby tackles, huh?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Listen, must dash, but I wanted to let you know my brother

0:18:13 > 0:18:16and I are having a homecoming party tomorrow evening - do come.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh, thank you very much. I'll certainly bare it in mind.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21And make sure to bring that beautiful wife of yours.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Congratulations, by the way.

0:18:23 > 0:18:27If she's anything like the woman I remember, you are a lucky man.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37- What a day.- Really?

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Oh, dear.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41I met Basil Thomas today - he seems like a charming man.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Charming, really?

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Have you met his brother? He's also a GP.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Apparently, they're back to stay. - Really?

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Maybe that's why he said the house wasn't on the market any more.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Well, we couldn't have afforded it anyway.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Old places like that need a lot of work.- I wouldn't have minded.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00It would have given me something to do between all this housework.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05It's a pity you didn't go and see that place weeks ago.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Then maybe we could have bought it while it was still on the market.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Systematically, two Ms, two Ls?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Do you think he'll be disappointed if he saw us now?

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Probably.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Stuck in the 19th century as he was.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38He never understood...you must move with the times.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Not for me.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Fatty's face was priceless when he realised it was me

0:19:49 > 0:19:51he was giving the parking ticket to.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Careful, that's my future patients you're laughing about.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57So...

0:19:57 > 0:20:00what do you think of our Indian doctor's wife, huh?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Maybe worth getting to know better.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Man alive.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10What on Earth did Father want with this?

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Maybe there was a dark side to him after all.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Maybe he skulked around at night...

0:20:19 > 0:20:21murdering the natives.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25I can't believe Megan married Emlyn Dawkins.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Forget Megan. She'll be fat and 40 now.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35You always were a coward.

0:21:00 > 0:21:05# Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying... #

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Morning.- Morning.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16You left my shop unattended yesterday.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18We could all have been murdered in our beds.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- We weren't in our beds. - Figure of speech.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23When a cow needs milking, she needs milking.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Anyway, I was trying to ask you something yesterday.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm doing the pools...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Gambling, work of the Devil. - No, Sian, listen...

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Megan...

0:21:53 > 0:21:55It went out in the night.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- You should have let me do that. - It's done now.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02Are you feeling...any better?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04A bit.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Have a good day.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yes. You, too.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31KNOCK ON DOOR

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Oh!

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Robert Thomas. - Can I come in?

0:22:45 > 0:22:50If you're part of a pool syndicate, then you're gambling.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Whatever you call it, they need my next of kin

0:22:53 > 0:22:56and they need a telephone number. And if I win...

0:22:56 > 0:23:00- You won't. The pools are a con, everyone knows that.- But if I do...

0:23:00 > 0:23:01I'll take you out.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05I hope you're not harbouring indecent thoughts.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Of course not.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11You carry on like that and you'll get a good clip around the ear.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Hi, Dr Sharma. - Oh, can I help you, Dr Sharma?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Well, these oranges look nice. - Ooh.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19- I'll take six, please. - Ooh.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25Three, four, five and six.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Oh.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Are you moving back for good?

0:23:40 > 0:23:42That depends on whether I get any patients.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I might be taking over Dr Morgan's old practice

0:23:44 > 0:23:49- if you're looking for a doctor. - No. We're with Dr Sharman.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54I was in private practice in London but I wanted to come home.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57You know, give something back to the community.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Thank you.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05Is that enough milk?

0:24:05 > 0:24:09Personally, I like it stronger but some people like it like that.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10It's perfect.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I didn't know you got married again.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Yes.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23After my first husband died, I suppose I didn't like to be alone.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28But Emlyn, he's very...

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Sorry.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37You must think that I collect husbands like football cards.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Did you ever marry?

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Is that how you spell orange? It doesn't look right.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Oh, doctor, a word.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53Where are they from?

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Oh, just shoo!

0:24:55 > 0:24:58You'll lose me customers!

0:24:58 > 0:25:00South African oranges are evil.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Why don't you sell Welsh oranges?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06I'll tell you what, boys, I'll get some, shall I(?)

0:25:06 > 0:25:09On the orange grove on my Welsh hillside(!)

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Daft, the pair of you.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16I think an interest in world politics is admirable...

0:25:16 > 0:25:18but I think your mother would really like you to get a job.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20My job...

0:25:20 > 0:25:27is bringing about the fall of the imperialist and capitalist system.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30I made a mistake, now shoo!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Is there anything wrong with Spanish oranges?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36They had a civil war there.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Er, it's over. Who won?

0:25:40 > 0:25:41- They did.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49- So, will you be my next of kin? - Yes!

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Hoo-hoo!

0:25:52 > 0:25:54I'll see you soon.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Prem, that's a nice surprise.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Dr Sharma.

0:26:06 > 0:26:07Hello again.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Robert, isn't it?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Robert's a GP, too.

0:26:13 > 0:26:14Yes, I know.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Megan's an old friend.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18I'm not visiting in a professional context, yet.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Although, I do need patients.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23I've been asked to take over Dr Morgan's old practice in Treherbert.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Really? - See you soon, Megan.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Good day, Dr Sharma.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32You coming in?

0:26:32 > 0:26:37Erm, no, no. I wasn't going to stop.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38Haven't seen you in a while,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- so I thought I'd drop in and give you these.- Oh.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43And see how you were.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Just a bit tired, really.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Nothing that a good rest and some oranges can't cure.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Good. You know you can drop in and see me any time.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- My door is always open to you. - I know.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00See you soon.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Hope you feel better. - Thank you.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26- What do you think they're doing? - Don't know.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Must be for the party.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Loads of booze.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- We should infiltrate. - Definitely.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45Excuse me. Excuse me.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47I've been waiting...

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Well, I'm sorry...

0:27:51 > 0:27:53What on Earth...? Why are you here?

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Your filing system is in a terrible mess.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57- Whose are these? - Ooh, his and hers.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00But they're not labelled. How do I know whose is whose?

0:28:00 > 0:28:04Well, he came in first, so the colder one will be his.

0:28:04 > 0:28:05Mrs Daniels...

0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'm sorry, I can't do anything

0:28:07 > 0:28:08until I've sorted out this shambles.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10I've never seen anything like it.

0:28:10 > 0:28:14How on Earth have you been managing?

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Kamini, what's she doing here?

0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Did you offer her a job? - Of course not. I thought you did.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21I did. Did I?

0:28:21 > 0:28:22I'm...sure I didn't.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Anyway, please, could you help? - I'd love to, I'm just so busy.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Sian, you look radiant.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47Thank you so much for coming.

0:28:47 > 0:28:49Thank you so much for asking us.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51Please. Please.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Ooh, doesn't he look smart?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55He looks like a ponce to me.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57How do you do? Oh, lads, are you coming in as well?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Only...wouldn't have thought this was your kind of thing.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Still, all welcome.

0:29:03 > 0:29:04All welcome.

0:29:05 > 0:29:06How do you do?

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Hey, you look nice. Any special reason?

0:29:16 > 0:29:19I told you, it's the Thomases homecoming party.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22How was Mrs Daniels?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25Oh, filing all day and now I can't find a thing.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Poor you.

0:29:27 > 0:29:28Could you tie that for me, please?

0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Do we really have to go out?- Why?

0:29:34 > 0:29:37Did you have something else in mind?

0:29:37 > 0:29:38KNOCK ON DOOR

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Yes...

0:29:40 > 0:29:42to find out who's at the door.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Emlyn, come in. - Thank you, Prem.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58- How are you?- Fine. Fine.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Fine, thank you. Never better.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Just thought I'd pop by to say hello.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Good. Good. Well, come up. - Thank you.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- You on your way to the...? - The village hall, yes.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10Only Megan's not feeling too clever,

0:30:10 > 0:30:12but I thought I should go and show my face.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Hello, Emlyn. - Kamini.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Actually, we were going to give it a miss.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Oh, well that settles it. If you're not going, then neither am I.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23Funny thing for you now.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27Megan and Dr Robert used to court...

0:30:27 > 0:30:29- way back, you know. - Really?

0:30:29 > 0:30:31And now she has you.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Come on, let's go for half an hour.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35You can wear the etchkan Mummy sent for you.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38I think you should tell Mummy to stop sending expensive things

0:30:38 > 0:30:41that I'm never ever going to wear.

0:30:41 > 0:30:42Don't be grumpy.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Prem is cross because he doesn't like his new receptionist.

0:30:45 > 0:30:47- I didn't say that. - I offered to do it.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Right. If we're going to go, then let's go

0:30:49 > 0:30:51and get it over and done with.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54CLASSIC SOUL MUSIC PLAYS

0:31:03 > 0:31:06CHATTER

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Ladies and gentlemen.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12Ladies and gentlemen,

0:31:12 > 0:31:16I'd like to thank you all very much for coming along this evening.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19I have a confession to make.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24This isn't just a party.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30This is a chance to change your lives.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37This is a decade of progress.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40All over the country, things are changing.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43And as my late father, God rest his soul, used to say,

0:31:43 > 0:31:46"You must move with the times."

0:31:46 > 0:31:49So, imagine if you will,

0:31:49 > 0:31:50what it would be like

0:31:50 > 0:31:54if you didn't have to carry that heavy coal bucket around any more.

0:31:56 > 0:32:01Imagine if you could have a hot bath any time you wanted it.

0:32:02 > 0:32:07Imagine a warm house, hot water and clean clothes,

0:32:07 > 0:32:11and all at the touch...of a button.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13CROWD EXCLAIM

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Well, imagine no longer.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18What I'm describing is already a reality over most of the country

0:32:18 > 0:32:25and I believe that, together, we can make it a reality...

0:32:25 > 0:32:26right here.

0:32:26 > 0:32:31Ladies and gentlemen, may I present...

0:32:33 > 0:32:36..New Trefelin.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38CROWD GASP

0:32:44 > 0:32:46New Trefelin,

0:32:46 > 0:32:49a bigger and better new town to be built right here,

0:32:49 > 0:32:52right where we're standing, in place of the old.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55A new shopping centre, pubs, cafes, even a new

0:32:55 > 0:32:57and expanded medical centre,

0:32:57 > 0:32:59attractive the very best Welsh doctors,

0:32:59 > 0:33:02people like my own brother here Robert Thomas.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08And...

0:33:08 > 0:33:11And if you agree to my plan,

0:33:11 > 0:33:17one of these beautiful new homes,

0:33:17 > 0:33:20complete with hot water, central heating

0:33:20 > 0:33:22and a washing machine...

0:33:22 > 0:33:25WOMEN GASP

0:33:25 > 0:33:26..could be yours.

0:33:26 > 0:33:30These are working people, Mr Thomas, they can't afford new houses.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32That's where you're wrong.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36That's where you're wrong because, in return for your loyalty

0:33:36 > 0:33:38and the deeds to your old home,

0:33:38 > 0:33:41I can promise each and every current resident

0:33:41 > 0:33:43a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to

0:33:43 > 0:33:48own a brand-new home at the heart of this new development.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51A new home that will, in time I'm sure,

0:33:51 > 0:33:54prove to be the shrewdest investment you will ever make.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- And what's in it for you? - Shut up!

0:33:57 > 0:34:00No, no. He has a point -

0:34:00 > 0:34:01a fair point.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, obviously, new Trefelin will bring with it many challenges

0:34:05 > 0:34:07and opportunities.

0:34:07 > 0:34:11Let me be honest, profit,

0:34:11 > 0:34:15and I intend to be around to enjoy it all.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20But tonight, ladies and gentlemen, friends, I want you to join with me

0:34:20 > 0:34:23and share in this dream.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27So, please, have another drink, have a good look at the plans.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30I'll be happy to answer any questions

0:34:30 > 0:34:33you may have and individually, if you so wish. Thank you.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Thank you very much.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50That sounds very interesting. No police station, though.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52It's all very interesting.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Nice to see you again, Dr Sharma.

0:34:58 > 0:34:59Dr Thomas.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02Emlyn, on your own?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Megan...my wife, is busy.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10What a shame. Please, help yourself to drinks.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12I think I will, you know.

0:35:14 > 0:35:17So, what do you think?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19It's very interesting.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Is it based on the development at Milton Keynes?

0:35:22 > 0:35:23There are similarities, yes.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Towns like this, Dr Sharma, bear the future of pedestrianised

0:35:27 > 0:35:29town centres and purpose-built car parks.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32Where does the mine fit in? I don't see the mine anywhere.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35Well, we are in discussion with the Coal Board about that

0:35:35 > 0:35:39and I'm confident we will reach a mutually profitable agreement...

0:35:39 > 0:35:42- What is mutually...? - Excuse me.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46I'm so pleased you could come.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Thank you so much for inviting us, Mr Thomas.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Oh, first names, please. Call me Basil.- Kamini.

0:35:53 > 0:35:54Do you work, Kamini?

0:35:54 > 0:35:57No, not at the moment. I studied English at university -

0:35:57 > 0:35:59I was hoping to do something with that.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02But, when we moved to Trefelin, other things took priority.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Well, we should talk. You're exactly the kind of educated person

0:36:05 > 0:36:08I'm going to need to get this new town built. Excuse me.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11An American-style supermarket, ladies and gentleman,

0:36:11 > 0:36:13just like the latest ones in London.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16A supermarket, fancy that?

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Well, I'll buy you one when I win the pools, girl.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22Nonsense. You'll spend it all on your chickens.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Nobody expected this, did they?

0:36:28 > 0:36:30Or this new health centre.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35You know, maybe we should have stayed in India.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40- Or maybe I should have taken that job in London after all.- Maybe.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42Maybe. Maybe.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45Maybe we need a new receptionist, but maybe you couldn't choose one.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Maybe you'll go to see the new house and then leave it

0:36:47 > 0:36:49until it gets taken off the market.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53- So, ladies... - I'm not getting into this now.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57..thank you for allowing me to share in my vision.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Maybe you'll move to a new practice.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Maybe you'll apply for a job.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06It's not always up to me, you know.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Everything's maybe with you.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11You're so busy saying it, nothing ever changes.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Nothing ever happens.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18..a new dream of a new Trefelin,

0:37:18 > 0:37:21a town finally worthy of the brave Welsh men and women

0:37:21 > 0:37:24who have toiled, fought and died

0:37:24 > 0:37:28so that we may share in a better future.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31I hope that you agree. Thank you. Thank you very much.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34APPLAUSE

0:37:42 > 0:37:44Got your dinner money?

0:37:46 > 0:37:49HE COUGHS

0:37:49 > 0:37:51You should see Dr Sharma.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53- I'm fine.- No, you're not.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57You're always short of breath and I can hear you coughing every night.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02I'll come with you.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05You're not missing school because of me.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07No doctor, no school.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20There must be a lot of upkeep on an old place like this.

0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Ooh, Mr Thomas. - You used to steal my bon-bons,

0:38:22 > 0:38:26Sian, I am sure you can call me Basil.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28You know, I can really picture you, Sian,

0:38:28 > 0:38:31in charge of a new, modern shop.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34All mod cons. Produce from all over the world.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37It all sounds very exciting but the thing is, Basil,

0:38:37 > 0:38:41I don't think I can afford all that.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43I didn't come here to ask for your money, Sian.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46What do you think I am? I came to invite you out for lunch.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Lunch?- If you have a prior engagement, I understand.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52It's very last-minute.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54No...not at all.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00It would be an honour.

0:39:00 > 0:39:01The honour's all mine, Sian.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17KNOCK ON DOOR. Come in.

0:39:17 > 0:39:21I've put them in appointment, not alphabetical, order.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23You're next scheduled patient is Mrs Megan Dawkins,

0:39:23 > 0:39:25who has yet to appear,

0:39:25 > 0:39:29so I've moved Mr Rogers to the top of the list because of his cough.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31- It's... - SHE SPEAKS WELSH

0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Beg your pardon? - His cough, it's filthy.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Er, Mrs Daniels, have you seen any of my pens?

0:39:38 > 0:39:41I appear to have lost all of them.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51A place for everything, and everything in its place.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Morning.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22What are you doing, boys?

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Making a stand for the rights of every common man, woman

0:40:25 > 0:40:27and child being exploited by imperialist

0:40:27 > 0:40:30capitalists for monetary selfish gain.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34Goodness me! And there I was thinking all you ever did was

0:40:34 > 0:40:36lie in your little beds dreaming up protests

0:40:36 > 0:40:40because you're too lazy to do a real day's work.

0:40:40 > 0:40:42Hope you got a Blue Peter badge for that.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45HE SPEAKS WELSH

0:40:46 > 0:40:49It's cyfalafwr, not cyfalafydd.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52And you don't need a soft mutation on Prydeinig.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54because the word is masculine...

0:40:55 > 0:40:58..which is more than can be said for you.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Your blood pressure's quite high,

0:41:06 > 0:41:09you have some fluid on the lungs, hence the coughing,

0:41:09 > 0:41:12and you have an irregular heartbeat.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16Now, this might be just down to a virus or being run down,

0:41:16 > 0:41:19but these are also the symptoms of heart disease.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Sounds like I should be planning my funeral.

0:41:23 > 0:41:24No. No, not at all.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27With the right care and some changes to the way that you live,

0:41:27 > 0:41:29these things can be managed,

0:41:29 > 0:41:32but I'll have a much better idea once your blood test results are back.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35In the meantime, I am putting you on sick leave.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38But I'm fine to work.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41I've got to work.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43It can't just stop me.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Owen, as the mine's doctor,

0:41:45 > 0:41:47I'm recommending plenty of rest and fresh air,

0:41:47 > 0:41:50and the last place you're going to get those are down the pit.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56# I

0:41:56 > 0:42:00# I love the colourful clothes she wears... #

0:42:00 > 0:42:04Wow! What a beautiful vision this is.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05Get away with you, Kerry Joseph.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08I'm not listening to your idle talk.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11I was wondering, you haven't had any phone calls for me, have you?

0:42:11 > 0:42:13Phone calls? Why?

0:42:13 > 0:42:15No reason. I was just expecting.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Can't you see I'm busy?

0:42:17 > 0:42:19Basil Thomas is taking me out.

0:42:19 > 0:42:26- Yeah, but if someone rings asking for me, could you take a message?- No.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28CAR HORNS BEEPS

0:42:30 > 0:42:33Sian, you look like a movie star,

0:42:33 > 0:42:36a cross between Lana Turner and Doris Day.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38I had no idea what to wear.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41I didn't know where you were taking me.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43I thought we'd try Tony's in Ponty.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Not THE Tony's?

0:42:46 > 0:42:51Not that really posh, really expensive Italian place?!

0:42:51 > 0:42:54And really busy. We don't want to lose our table.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Afternoon, Mrs Rogers!

0:42:57 > 0:43:00I'm just off to Tony's in Pontypridd!

0:43:00 > 0:43:04# Good, good, good, good vibrations

0:43:06 > 0:43:08# Good, good... #

0:43:11 > 0:43:14Mrs Daniels sorted out all my pens today.

0:43:14 > 0:43:18Nibs at one end, straight, straight, straight, - very annoying.

0:43:19 > 0:43:23A little organisation and decisiveness around the surgery isn't a bad thing.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26And she's left a message for you - it's by the phone.

0:43:26 > 0:43:29A farmer barricaded himself in his house.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Aren't you going to have some lunch? - Not hungry.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36Kamini...

0:43:38 > 0:43:42I've been thinking about what you said last night - that I don't...

0:43:42 > 0:43:44I'm slow at making decisions.

0:43:45 > 0:43:48I probably overreacted a little bit.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Yes, but maybe I don't listen enough.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56How about we talk things through tonight?

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Maybe.

0:44:07 > 0:44:09BOTH LAUGH

0:44:09 > 0:44:13This is going to go straight to my head, I can tell.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Work hard, play hard, that's my motto.

0:44:15 > 0:44:17And you've always been a good worker, Sian,

0:44:17 > 0:44:19with a good head for business.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22- Stop it now! - It's true.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24Out of all the baby-sitters we ever had,

0:44:24 > 0:44:26only you had the sense to charge for it - I admired you for that.

0:44:28 > 0:44:29What about you then?

0:44:29 > 0:44:36I can't believe the little boys who used to fight behind the sofa

0:44:36 > 0:44:41would one day end up being a doctor and a big shot property developer.

0:44:43 > 0:44:47Is there a Mrs Thomas somewhere in the background?

0:44:47 > 0:44:49If you don't mind me asking.

0:44:53 > 0:44:54There could have been.

0:44:55 > 0:44:56She...

0:44:58 > 0:44:59She was...

0:44:59 > 0:45:01beautiful,

0:45:01 > 0:45:03funny, clever.

0:45:03 > 0:45:06I'd never have believed a woman like that would have looked

0:45:06 > 0:45:08twice at a buffoon such as me.

0:45:11 > 0:45:13I'm sorry.

0:45:13 > 0:45:14I haven't spoke about this for years.

0:45:16 > 0:45:20I've been told I'm a very good listener.

0:45:34 > 0:45:36KNOCK ON DOOR

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Coming!

0:45:42 > 0:45:44- Guess who? - Robert?

0:45:44 > 0:45:46For your hubby.

0:45:46 > 0:45:48For Emlyn?

0:45:48 > 0:45:51For you. Come on, valleys girl, catch up.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03I'll never forget that night, Sian.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05I'll never forget it.

0:46:05 > 0:46:07We were supposed to be going to the opera.

0:46:07 > 0:46:10Madame Butterfly, her favourite.

0:46:10 > 0:46:13I had to cancel...again.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17These things do happen.

0:46:17 > 0:46:20I was married to my work, Sian, even then.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23She came second and she knew it.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26So, that night, the night of the opera...

0:46:26 > 0:46:28Well, we had a terrible row.

0:46:28 > 0:46:31She was angry. She was upset. She...

0:46:31 > 0:46:33She stormed out.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36Back then...

0:46:36 > 0:46:38we lived by the coast.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Had a little cottage up by the cliffs -

0:46:41 > 0:46:43it was very beautiful.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47So, she stormed out and...

0:46:49 > 0:46:51..it was dark.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55She didn't fall off the cliff.

0:46:58 > 0:47:00I really don't know.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02We searched for months.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06You'll think I'm crazy but...

0:47:07 > 0:47:10..every time I'm by the sea, I...

0:47:10 > 0:47:12I swear I can hear her calling me.

0:47:14 > 0:47:15What was her name?

0:47:17 > 0:47:19Her name?

0:47:25 > 0:47:27Brigitte.

0:47:29 > 0:47:31Her name was Brigitte.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37Excuse me.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39And to think, it will all have been for nothing.

0:47:39 > 0:47:40What do you mean?

0:47:42 > 0:47:44This new town, Sian,

0:47:44 > 0:47:46it's an absolute gold mine.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Gold mine? But if the people of Trefelin don't take up the offer,

0:47:51 > 0:47:54then it will be made available to everybody else.

0:47:54 > 0:47:58Everyone else who has that sort of money.

0:47:58 > 0:48:02Oh, money, money. I'm not after anybody's money, Sian, not yet.

0:48:02 > 0:48:06All they have to do to secure a deposit for a brand-new house

0:48:06 > 0:48:09is hand me the deeds to their old property and...

0:48:09 > 0:48:12By the time the outside world gets to hear...

0:48:12 > 0:48:14they'll be sitting on a small fortune.

0:48:19 > 0:48:23- No new town! - Don't sell your life away!

0:48:23 > 0:48:24No new town!

0:48:24 > 0:48:28They're selling you lies! Nothing but lies!

0:48:28 > 0:48:30No new town! No new town!

0:48:30 > 0:48:35All right. Now, I am sure you can make up your own minds...

0:48:35 > 0:48:37intelligent people that you are.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39No new town!

0:48:39 > 0:48:41Just... Just take a seat inside.

0:48:41 > 0:48:45I'll be right in. And remember, you're under no obligation.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48No new town! No...

0:48:54 > 0:48:57All right, lads, you've had your fun.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Don't you think it's time for beddy-byes?

0:49:00 > 0:49:03You can't make us leave. This is a democracy.

0:49:03 > 0:49:06- We have our rights. - Yeah, we're antichrists.

0:49:06 > 0:49:07You what?

0:49:07 > 0:49:09- We're...- Anarchists.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11He means anarchists.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Well, whatever you are,

0:49:13 > 0:49:16I also have a right to run a legitimate business.

0:49:16 > 0:49:20And unless you run along like good little boys,

0:49:20 > 0:49:21I'm going to take your banner

0:49:21 > 0:49:24and I'm going to shove it up your Che Guevara.

0:49:24 > 0:49:26You understand?

0:49:26 > 0:49:28Come on, Aled.

0:49:28 > 0:49:30I'll buy you a half in the pub.

0:49:30 > 0:49:35I think you should listen to your friend Bob Dylan over there.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37Call me what you like, Mr Thomas,

0:49:37 > 0:49:39but I bet I sleep better than you at night.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52I was so drunk at that party.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54Yes. We'd had those liqueurs you'd stolen

0:49:54 > 0:49:56from your dad's drinks cabinet.

0:49:56 > 0:50:00- Look at my hair. Look at Emlyn's hair.- Oh!

0:50:00 > 0:50:02We must have had the same hairdresser.

0:50:04 > 0:50:06I couldn't believe it when I heard you got married to him.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09- Hmm. Life is full of surprises. - Hmm.

0:50:09 > 0:50:11I bet you he couldn't believe his luck.

0:50:11 > 0:50:15Megan, I've brought you a lovely custard slice.

0:50:15 > 0:50:17We're just looking at some old photos.

0:50:17 > 0:50:19How are you, Emlyn?

0:50:19 > 0:50:20HE LAUGHS

0:50:20 > 0:50:23I'll go and put your custard slice in the fridge.

0:50:25 > 0:50:26I better go.

0:50:28 > 0:50:29No, you keep that.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34Till the next time.

0:50:42 > 0:50:45Come on, ladies! Hurry up, Iva.

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Come on!

0:50:49 > 0:50:51My lovely baby-sitter.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53SHE CHUCKLES

0:50:53 > 0:50:54Sobered up yet?

0:50:55 > 0:50:59Stop it now! Hmm.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02I hope you don't mind, I've brought some friends with me.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04I thought they might benefit from a more detailed

0:51:04 > 0:51:08explanation of the opportunities available to us all.

0:51:08 > 0:51:09It would be my pleasure.

0:51:11 > 0:51:14Go on, go and have another look. Go on!

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Don't it get to you, the way he spoke to us?

0:51:27 > 0:51:29Like we're dirt under his shoe.

0:51:29 > 0:51:33What a man like that thinks of me isn't important...

0:51:33 > 0:51:37but I wouldn't want to see him taking advantage of anyone.

0:51:37 > 0:51:40My mam was talking about looking into those new houses this morning.

0:51:40 > 0:51:41We've got to do something bigger.

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Something that would really hurt his stupid new town.

0:51:46 > 0:51:51Quite difficult, bearing in mind it hasn't even been built yet.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53It makes a change from this morning.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56I knew I could rely on Sian for a complete lack of discretion.

0:51:56 > 0:52:00Ah...pretty woman, stage left.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Kamini, we're so pleased you could make it.

0:52:02 > 0:52:05- Your husband not with you? - No. He's on his rounds.

0:52:05 > 0:52:07Of course. Of course.

0:52:07 > 0:52:09Well, let's get you a cup of tea, shall we?

0:52:09 > 0:52:11Robert, tea for Kamini, please.

0:52:11 > 0:52:14Maybe you could show these to your husband.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16You think he'd be interested?

0:52:16 > 0:52:18I think he might need a bit of persuading.

0:52:18 > 0:52:20Nothing wrong with a bit of caution -

0:52:20 > 0:52:22cut from the same cloth as myself -

0:52:22 > 0:52:25but I'd hope you'd both be interested

0:52:25 > 0:52:26in the new medical practice.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29Certainly we'll be looking for an intelligent

0:52:29 > 0:52:31and experienced practice manager.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34Is that something that might appeal to you?

0:52:34 > 0:52:35- Yes.- Good.- Yes, it would.

0:52:35 > 0:52:37Well...

0:52:37 > 0:52:41I've been keeping this back for you.

0:52:41 > 0:52:44I know how disappointed you were to lose out on the manor house,

0:52:44 > 0:52:46but this is a fine residence

0:52:46 > 0:52:49befitting the local doctor and his wife.

0:52:49 > 0:52:53Of course, it would also make an ideal home for a family.

0:52:53 > 0:52:56- Would it be possible for me to keep this?- Certainly.

0:52:56 > 0:52:58- I'll speak with my husband tonight. - Excellent.

0:52:58 > 0:53:00I'll see how Robert's doing with that tea.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06A little house call for you, I think.

0:53:06 > 0:53:08A chance to flex those charm muscles.

0:53:08 > 0:53:10You were doing a pretty good job of it yourself.

0:53:10 > 0:53:13You need to get Kamini's husband onside -

0:53:13 > 0:53:15he's a well-loved doctor.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17Better to have him on our team than to play against him.

0:53:17 > 0:53:21Oh, and bring a bottle of Dad's malt along with you.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24These Indians are useless with alcohol.

0:53:47 > 0:53:49You drinking?

0:53:49 > 0:53:51You promised you'd stop.

0:53:54 > 0:53:58This...is for medicinal purposes.

0:54:02 > 0:54:04I'm on sick leave...

0:54:05 > 0:54:07..thanks to you.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09- What did Dr Sharma say? - Ha!

0:54:10 > 0:54:14That I'm not fit to go down the mine.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18So, make the most of what you've got...

0:54:20 > 0:54:25..cos pretty soon we're not going to have money for the roof

0:54:25 > 0:54:27over our heads. Right?

0:54:35 > 0:54:38I don't need any examination.

0:54:40 > 0:54:41I know what's wrong with me.

0:54:46 > 0:54:47I'm pregnant...

0:54:50 > 0:54:51..but I don't want to be.

0:54:54 > 0:54:58It's not uncommon to feel this way, especially in the early stages.

0:55:00 > 0:55:01Does Emlyn know?

0:55:02 > 0:55:03No.

0:55:06 > 0:55:08He'd be over the moon.

0:55:10 > 0:55:12He's one of the loveliest people I've ever known...

0:55:14 > 0:55:17..but it feels like we've been together for 30 years, not just one.

0:55:17 > 0:55:19Having a child together may change that.

0:55:20 > 0:55:23It won't fix something that's never been there.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29I don't expect you to have answers for me, Prem.

0:55:30 > 0:55:34I just need some time to think it through.

0:55:34 > 0:55:35Something...

0:55:38 > 0:55:40- Promise me you won't tell Emlyn. - Of course not.

0:55:42 > 0:55:43Patient confidentiality.

0:55:45 > 0:55:46Thank you.

0:56:02 > 0:56:05# Cos I made my mind up

0:56:05 > 0:56:07# You're going to be mine

0:56:07 > 0:56:09# I tell you right now

0:56:09 > 0:56:11# Any trick in the book... #

0:56:11 > 0:56:13MUSIC OFF

0:56:15 > 0:56:17Get in.

0:56:28 > 0:56:30The safety committee meeting is today.

0:56:32 > 0:56:34And they'll all vote to close the mine?

0:56:34 > 0:56:37You don't need them all, just the majority.

0:56:40 > 0:56:43This isn't what we agreed on.

0:56:43 > 0:56:44I'm not paying you full price

0:56:44 > 0:56:46until I know what I'm getting for my money.

0:56:49 > 0:56:52Roger Gibson and Ron Steadman,

0:56:52 > 0:56:55both retiring soon, both very greedy.

0:56:55 > 0:57:00A bit more comfort in their old age would be very welcome.

0:57:00 > 0:57:02And that will be enough for your majority, will it?

0:57:02 > 0:57:05Guaranteed...trust me.

0:57:12 > 0:57:13Get out.

0:57:19 > 0:57:21You make sure they shut that mine.

0:57:21 > 0:57:24Just make sure it happens.

0:57:29 > 0:57:31# I'll tell you right now

0:57:31 > 0:57:34Any trick in the book now, baby

0:57:34 > 0:57:36# That I can find... #

0:57:40 > 0:57:43I'll do my best to make it look like an accident,

0:57:43 > 0:57:48but I still can't guarantee it won't look like sabotage.

0:57:49 > 0:57:52- I thought you'd be pleased. - Pleased?!

0:57:52 > 0:57:55But this is the future, Megan, yours and mine!

0:57:56 > 0:58:00You've some pills, your brother was telling me, miracle pills.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02They're not exactly a cure for everything.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04Let me try them at least.

0:58:04 > 0:58:06Terrorists in Trefelin, Sergeant Dawkins,

0:58:06 > 0:58:07and we both know who's to blame...

0:58:07 > 0:58:10Oi! What are you doing?!

0:58:10 > 0:58:13..those malcontents Daf and Aled.

0:58:13 > 0:58:17Of course! Your mother had to be involved.

0:58:17 > 0:58:20This has her meddling fingerprints all over it.

0:58:20 > 0:58:22Trust me, Mr Graham, one way or another,

0:58:22 > 0:58:24you will close that mine...

0:58:24 > 0:58:26or your life won't be worth living.
