0:00:17 > 0:00:20- Kamini, I'm only going to look at it. - I know. If it's too much money...

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 > 0:07:17- Ah, Mrs Sharma. - Surgery doesn't open till later.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- No, it's you I want to see. Could you be my next of kin?- Sorry?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23They need my telephone number and the telephone number of my next of kin,

0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I haven't got a telephone number and I haven't got a next of kin.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Ceri, I'm sorry - I have no idea what you're talking about. As you can see, we're very busy.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Mrs Williams, the doctor's ready for you now. Thank you.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Mrs Williams.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Please, sit down.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49I didn't know that you were interested in becoming

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- a receptionist.- Oh, I'm not.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Ah, well, today I am interviewing... - I'm here about my Aled.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58He spends all day sitting around the place with that layabout Daf,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02talking a load of old rubbish about politics.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05He's got pictures all over his wall of that foreign gentleman,

0:08:05 > 0:08:08you know, the one with the beard. What's his name?

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, you know... I'm so worried about him.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Abraham Lincoln?- No, Aled.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Yes, of course, Mrs Williams. - Mr Che something...

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Guevara.- He doesn't even get out of bed until midday.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Che Guevara? - No. No. Aled.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Mrs Williams...

0:08:23 > 0:08:24a healthy interest in politics

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- is hardly a medical matter. - Well, it will be.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30My nerves can't take much more of this.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33He needs to stop messing and get a proper job.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Could you talk to him?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Please, Dr... - I'll see what I can do.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40Thank you, Dr Sharma.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46All the...best.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48BELL DINGS

0:08:48 > 0:08:50You look lovely today, Sian.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54Oh, go on with you. I'm too busy for idle chat.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Even busy you look lovely.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58I need to ask you something.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- I need you as a wife. - What?

0:09:02 > 0:09:08Well, I need someone to agree to be my next of kin and...

0:09:08 > 0:09:10And I need someone with a phone number.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- But... - CAR HORN BLARES

0:09:13 > 0:09:14Who on Earth...?

0:09:17 > 0:09:22That road hog nearly ran me off the road this morning.

0:09:24 > 0:09:28And why do you think you would make a good receptionist?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Because I know all about germs.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Germs.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Did you know they're everywhere?

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Yes, but you can leave the medical side of things to me.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Your job would include answering the phone...

0:09:40 > 0:09:45My last employer was very happy with my telephone manner.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46- May I? - Of course.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Bring, bring!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Bring, bring!

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Bring, bring!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Bring, bring!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Bring, bring!

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Who was your last employer?

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Petra Sewage Works. Blockage or seepage?

0:10:01 > 0:10:02That's very...very good.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Oh, look at you,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09just like film stars.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Wilfred Thomas' boys.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I can still remember baby-sitting for you like it was yesterday.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Such lovely little cherubs, you were.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19I used to kiss their fat little bottoms.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23And how long are you staying?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24As long as you'll have us.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Won't you find this a bit dull after the bright lights of London?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31You were missing our Welsh cooking.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34And we missed the fresh air of home, didn't we?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37And the wonderful simplicity of the people.

0:10:37 > 0:10:42So... Look, we'd like to invite you to attend a party we're throwing

0:10:42 > 0:10:45tomorrow in the village hall. Will you come?

0:10:45 > 0:10:49We'll be honoured to attend, won't we?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Honoured, aye.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Excellent.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Until tomorrow, then.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Until tomorrow.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Oh, you look like your father.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Ta-ta, now.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18What on Earth am I going to wear?

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Myn uffarn i.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Mind the shop.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29Guess what? The Thomas boys are back.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Oh, look at their car.

0:11:56 > 0:12:00She was hanging on to the cliff edge with her fingernails.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02He said, "Bet you're sorry you had that manicure now!"

0:12:02 > 0:12:06MEN LAUGHING

0:12:07 > 0:12:10It isn't. It is!

0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's Basil and Robert Thomas.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Griffiths. Owen Griffiths.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Haha! Good God!

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- How you doing? - Well, well.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Bit smart for the likes of us now, aren't you?

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Not at all. Not at all.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Beva Brendon and Winston Pew.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Well, what are you all drinking? First round's on me.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31CHEERING

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Guess what? Basil and Robert Thomas are back!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47LAUGHTER

0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, what makes you think that you would be suitable for this job?

0:12:50 > 0:12:54- I'd be good at keeping the patients amused.- Oh.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Why do bees hum?

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- I'm sorry?- Cos they don't know the words. Haha!

0:13:00 > 0:13:05SHE SINGS HIGH NOTES

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Thank you for coming in, Mrs Roberts. I was wondering,

0:13:07 > 0:13:11what is it that you think you can bring to the role of...?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15..receptionist.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20Any short hand?

0:13:20 > 0:13:24SHE SINGS HIGH PITCHED

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Why did the chicken cross the road?

0:13:34 > 0:13:35I'll be in touch.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Last one. - (Thank God.)

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Mrs Daniels.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58Mrs Daniels, thank you so much for coming in.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01I was really very sorry to hear about your father.

0:14:01 > 0:14:02Wonderful man.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Did so much for our community.

0:14:04 > 0:14:05Thank you.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08To Wilfred Thomas.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Father.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Afternoon, Mr Graham.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Pint of dark, please. - Here, I'll get that.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I wouldn't bother if I was you, Mr Thomas.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28NCB Inspection Team.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32He's sniffing around to see if he can close us down.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Your father wouldn't have stood for that.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Oh, well, we're all friends here.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46And I was a doctor's receptionist before the war.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49He's certainly given you a glowing reference.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53"Reorganised all medical files, cross referenced against

0:14:53 > 0:14:57"surname, age, blood group, gender." Very impressive.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Why did you stop working, Mrs Daniels?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well, I felt like it, dear.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Oh. You reduced waiting times by 50%,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08revolutionised the appointment system...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11If I offered you the job, when could you start?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Oh, I'm not sure that I want it yet, dear.- I'm sorry?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Well, it's a big step, isn't it?

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Yes, I suppose...

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Thank you for coming in. I'll let you know.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Whose is it?

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Somebody who thinks they're above the law, I'd say.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36- How fast do you think it goes? - Too fast.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Must belong to someone really rich.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43They can afford to pay that then, can't they?

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Well, how did it go? - Total waste of a morning.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Well, there is one candidate you haven't considered.- Really?

0:15:53 > 0:15:55She's a university graduate, she can type,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57very hard working and very efficient.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- She sounds ideal. Who? - Me.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07You're too good for this job, Kamini.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Anyway, you're too busy with the housework.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Emlyn.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Dr Sharma. Kamini.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Any chance of a quick word, Dr?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Ah, come.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21Well, Mummy, time to put your plan into action.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33It's just that I'm really worried about Megan.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36She's tired, very up and down, very snappy.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's as if she's always angry...

0:16:39 > 0:16:42with me.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45I know they do say women can get a touch of depression after

0:16:45 > 0:16:47they get married.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Life changes can cause some depression

0:16:50 > 0:16:52but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Listen, don't tell her that I came to see you, will you?

0:16:56 > 0:16:57But...

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Could you come up with some excuse to go by and see her?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Er... Of course, Emlyn.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- I'll drop in tomorrow. - Thank you, Prem.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13- There you go, lads. - Thanks.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Can we take drinks off a capitalist?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Think of it as wealth redistribution.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Whatever happened to Megan? Megan Howells.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28She works here usually. She married Emlyn Dawkins.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Who? Fatty?

0:17:31 > 0:17:33He's done very well for himself.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36He's the village copper.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39My overriding memory of Fatty is his red face after rugby.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Blood, mud, tears and snot.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Oh, Mrs Sharma.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Hello, Owen.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50Mrs Sharma has taken a shine to my boy Dan.

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Dan won't be home for dinner.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55I'm taking him to the library for a school project - it's about cars.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Mrs Sharma. Basil Thomas. This is my brother Robert.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- Hello.- I believe we met your husband earlier.- Oh, really?

0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yes, he said you'd be disappointed, the house no longer being for sale.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08It's a beautiful house, Mr Thomas.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- If it was mine, I wouldn't sell it either.- Thank you.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14My brother and I are hosting a social event in the village

0:18:14 > 0:18:15hall tomorrow evening.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18We'd be honoured if you could attend - your husband, too.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20We'd love to. Thank you very much.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Come on, Dan.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Shoo!

0:18:34 > 0:18:36I'll be telling your mothers!

0:18:38 > 0:18:43Wait till I see you, Ceri Joseph!

0:18:44 > 0:18:46MAN ON RADIO: West Bromwich Albion - nil.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Leicester City - four. Tottenham Hotspur - three.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Sheffield United - two. Stoke City - two.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Everton - one. West Ham United - one.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Emlyn Dawkins, it's been years.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Robert Thomas.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Who'd have thought, back in school, that you'd be giving me

0:19:13 > 0:19:14- a parking ticket one day?- Ah.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Revenge for all those rugby tackles, huh?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Listen, must dash, but I wanted to let you know my brother

0:19:25 > 0:19:28and I are having a homecoming party tomorrow evening - do come.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Oh, thank you very much. I'll certainly bear it in mind.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34And make sure to bring that beautiful wife of yours.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Congratulations, by the way.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39If she's anything like the woman I remember, you are a lucky man.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52- What a day.- Really?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Oh, dear.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57I met Basil Thomas today - he seems like a charming man.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Charming, really?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Have you met his brother? He's also a GP.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04- Apparently, they're back to stay. - Really?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Maybe that's why he said the house wasn't on the market any more.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Well, we couldn't have afforded it anyway.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Old places like that need a lot of work.- I wouldn't have minded.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15It would have given me something to do between all this housework.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's a pity you didn't go and see that place weeks ago.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Then maybe we could have bought it while it was still on the market.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Systematically, two Ms, two Ls?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Maybe you should see the doctor.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I slept most of the day. I'll be fine tomorrow.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17How was your day?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Nothing out of the ordinary.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Do you think he'll be disappointed if he saw us now?

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Probably.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Stuck in the 19th century as he was.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47He never understood...you must move with the times.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Not for me.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Fatty's face was priceless when he realised it was me

0:21:58 > 0:22:00he was giving the parking ticket to.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Careful, that's my future patients you're laughing about.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06So...

0:22:06 > 0:22:09what do you think of our Indian doctor's wife, huh?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Maybe worth getting to know better.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Man alive.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19What on Earth did Father want with this?

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Maybe there was a dark side to him after all.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27Maybe he skulked around at night...

0:22:27 > 0:22:29murdering the natives.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I can't believe Megan married Emlyn Dawkins.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36Forget Megan. She'll be fat and 40 now.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44You always were a coward.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13# Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying... #

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Are you coming in? Could you reschedule Mr Bowen's appointment?

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Sorry. I'm very busy. Housewife duties.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40Recipes to plan.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Morning.- Morning.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55You left my shop unattended yesterday.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58We could all have been murdered in our beds.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- We weren't in our beds. - Figure of speech.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02When a cow needs milking, she needs milking.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Anyway, I was trying to ask you something yesterday.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06I'm doing the pools...

0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Gambling, work of the Devil. - No, Sian, listen...

0:24:39 > 0:24:41Megan...

0:24:41 > 0:24:43It went out in the night.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47- You should have let me do that. - It's done now.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Are you feeling...any better?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53A bit.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Have a good day.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59Yes. You, too.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19KNOCK ON DOOR

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Oh!

0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Robert Thomas. - Can I come in?

0:25:35 > 0:25:39If you're part of a pools syndicate, then you're gambling.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Whatever you call it, they need my next of kin

0:25:43 > 0:25:45and they need a telephone number. And if I win...

0:25:45 > 0:25:50- You won't. The pools are a con, everyone knows that.- But if I do...

0:25:50 > 0:25:51I'll take you out.

0:25:51 > 0:25:55I hope you're not harbouring indecent thoughts.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Of course not.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00You carry on like that and you'll get a good clip around the ear.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Hi, Dr Sharma. - Oh, can I help you, Dr Sharma?

0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Well, these oranges look nice. - Ooh.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08- I'll take six, please. - Ooh.

0:26:09 > 0:26:15Three, four, five and six.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18Oh.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Are you moving back for good?

0:26:29 > 0:26:32That depends on whether I get any patients.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34I might be taking over Dr Morgan's old practice

0:26:34 > 0:26:38- if you're looking for a doctor. - No. We're with Dr Sharma now.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43I was in private practice in London but I wanted to come home.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46You know, give something back to the community.

0:26:51 > 0:26:52Thank you.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55Is that enough milk?

0:26:55 > 0:26:59Personally, I like it stronger but some people like it like that.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00It's perfect.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04I didn't know you got married again.

0:27:07 > 0:27:08Yes.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13After my first husband died, I suppose I didn't like to be alone.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18But Emlyn, he's very...

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Sorry.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27You must think that I collect husbands like football cards.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- I bumped into Emlyn yesterday. - Did you?

0:27:33 > 0:27:34He didn't say.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Did you ever marry?

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Is that how you spell orange? It doesn't look right.

0:27:47 > 0:27:50Oh, doctor, a word.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Where are they from?

0:27:52 > 0:27:53Oh, just shoo!

0:27:53 > 0:27:56You'll lose me customers!

0:27:56 > 0:27:58South African oranges are evil.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Why don't you sell Welsh oranges?

0:28:01 > 0:28:04I'll tell you what, boys, I'll get some, shall I(?)

0:28:04 > 0:28:07On the orange grove on my Welsh hillside(!)

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Daft, the pair of you.

0:28:09 > 0:28:14I think an interest in world politics is admirable...

0:28:14 > 0:28:16but I think your mother would really like you to get a job.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18My job...

0:28:18 > 0:28:25is bringing about the fall of the imperialist and capitalist system.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28I made a mistake, now shoo!

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Is there anything wrong with Spanish oranges?

0:28:32 > 0:28:34They had a civil war there.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Er, it's over. Who won?

0:28:38 > 0:28:39- They did.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47- So, will you be my next of kin? - Yes!

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Hoo-hoo!

0:28:50 > 0:28:52I'll see you soon.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01Prem, that's a nice surprise.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Dr Sharma.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Hello again.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Robert, isn't it?

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Robert's a GP, too.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12Yes, I know.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Megan's an old friend.

0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'm not visiting in a professional context, yet.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Although, I do need patients.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22I've been asked to take over Dr Morgan's old practice in Treherbert.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Really? - See you soon, Megan.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27Good day, Dr Sharma.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30You coming in?

0:29:30 > 0:29:35Erm, no, no. I wasn't going to stop.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36Haven't seen you in a while,

0:29:36 > 0:29:39- so I thought I'd drop in and give you these.- Oh.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41And see how you were.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44Just a bit tired, really.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Nothing that a good rest and some oranges can't cure.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Good. You know you can drop in and see me any time.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55- My door is always open to you. - I know.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58See you soon.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01- Hope you feel better. - Thank you.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24- What do you think they're doing? - Don't know.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28Must be for the party.

0:30:34 > 0:30:35Loads of booze.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38- We should infiltrate. - Definitely.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Excuse me. Excuse me.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46I've been waiting...

0:30:46 > 0:30:47Well, I'm sorry...

0:30:49 > 0:30:51What on Earth...? Why are you here?

0:30:51 > 0:30:54Your filing system is in a terrible mess.

0:30:54 > 0:30:55- Whose are these? - Ooh, his and hers.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58But they're not labelled. How do I know whose is whose?

0:30:58 > 0:31:02Well, he came in first, so the colder one will be his.

0:31:02 > 0:31:03Mrs Daniels...

0:31:03 > 0:31:05I'm sorry, I can't do anything

0:31:05 > 0:31:07until I've sorted out this shambles.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08I've never seen anything like it.

0:31:08 > 0:31:12How on Earth have you been managing?

0:31:12 > 0:31:14Kamini, what's she doing here?

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Did you offer her a job? - Of course not. I thought you did.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19I did. Did I?

0:31:19 > 0:31:20I'm...sure I didn't.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24- Anyway, please, could you help? - I'd love to, I'm just so busy.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42Megan? Megan!

0:31:46 > 0:31:48I brought you these.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Prem brought those.- Oh!

0:31:52 > 0:31:57He's been to see you. Did he say anything about, er...

0:31:57 > 0:31:59He just said I was a bit run down.

0:32:01 > 0:32:02Right.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08Well, if you're up to it, we've been invited to a party tonight.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10I know. Robert told me.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13I heard you saw him.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16I forgot to say.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19Right.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22So the party?

0:32:22 > 0:32:23I don't feel up to it.

0:32:26 > 0:32:28You can go if you like.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Sian, you look radiant.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Thank you so much for coming.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Thank you so much for asking us.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Please. Please.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54Ooh, doesn't he look smart?

0:32:54 > 0:32:56He looks like a ponce to me.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58How do you do? Oh, lads, are you coming in as well?

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Only...wouldn't have thought this was your kind of thing.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Still, all welcome.

0:33:04 > 0:33:05All welcome.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07How do you do?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Hey, you look nice. Any special reason?

0:33:17 > 0:33:20I told you, it's the Thomases' homecoming party.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23How was Mrs Daniels?

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Oh, filing all day and now I can't find a thing.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Poor you.

0:33:28 > 0:33:29Could you tie that for me, please?

0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Do we really have to go out?- Why?

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Did you have something else in mind?

0:33:38 > 0:33:39KNOCK ON DOOR

0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yes...

0:33:41 > 0:33:43to find out who's at the door.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Emlyn, come in. - Thank you, Prem.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59- How are you?- Fine. Fine.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Fine, thank you. Never better.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Just thought I'd pop by to say hello.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05- Good. Good. Well, come up. - Thank you.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09- You on your way to the...? - The village hall, yes.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Only Megan's not feeling too clever,

0:34:12 > 0:34:14but I thought I should go and show my face.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Hello, Emlyn. - Kamini.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19Actually, we were going to give it a miss.

0:34:19 > 0:34:22Oh, well that settles it. If you're not going, then neither am I.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25Funny thing for you now.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29Megan and Dr Robert used to court...

0:34:29 > 0:34:31- way back, you know. - Really?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33And now she has you.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34Come on, let's go for half an hour.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36You can wear the etchkan Mummy sent for you.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40I think you should tell Mummy to stop sending expensive things

0:34:40 > 0:34:42that I'm never ever going to wear.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44Don't be grumpy.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Prem is cross because he doesn't like his new receptionist.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- I didn't say that. - I offered to do it.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Right. If we're going to go, then let's go

0:34:51 > 0:34:53and get it over and done with.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55SOUL MUSIC PLAYS

0:35:05 > 0:35:08CHATTER

0:35:20 > 0:35:22Ladies and gentlemen.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Ladies and gentlemen,

0:35:25 > 0:35:29I'd like to thank you all very much for coming along this evening.

0:35:29 > 0:35:32I have a confession to make.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38This isn't just a party.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44This is a chance to change your lives.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50This is a decade of progress.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53All over the country, things are changing.

0:35:53 > 0:35:57And as my late father, God rest his soul, used to say,

0:35:57 > 0:36:00"You must move with the times."

0:36:00 > 0:36:02So, imagine if you will,

0:36:02 > 0:36:03what it would be like

0:36:03 > 0:36:08if you didn't have to carry that heavy coal bucket around any more.

0:36:09 > 0:36:14Imagine if you could have a hot bath any time you wanted it.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20Imagine a warm house, hot water and clean clothes,

0:36:20 > 0:36:24and all at the touch...of a button.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26CROWD EXCLAIM

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Well, imagine no longer.

0:36:28 > 0:36:32What I'm describing is already a reality over most of the country

0:36:32 > 0:36:38and I believe that, together, we can make it a reality...

0:36:38 > 0:36:39right here.

0:36:39 > 0:36:45Ladies and gentlemen, may I present...

0:36:46 > 0:36:49..New Trefelin.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03a bigger and better new town to be built right here,

0:37:03 > 0:37:05right where we're standing, in place of the old.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08A new shopping centre, pubs, cafes, even a new

0:37:08 > 0:37:10and expanded medical centre,

0:37:10 > 0:37:12attractive the very best Welsh doctors,

0:37:12 > 0:37:15people like my own brother here Robert Thomas.

0:37:20 > 0:37:21And...

0:37:21 > 0:37:24And if you agree to my plan,

0:37:24 > 0:37:30one of these beautiful new homes,

0:37:30 > 0:37:33complete with hot water, central heating

0:37:33 > 0:37:36and a washing machine...

0:37:36 > 0:37:38WOMEN GASP

0:37:38 > 0:37:39..could be yours.

0:37:39 > 0:37:44These are working people, Mr Thomas, they can't afford new houses.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45That's where you're wrong.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49That's where you're wrong because, in return for your loyalty

0:37:49 > 0:37:51and the deeds to your old home,

0:37:51 > 0:37:54I can promise each and every current resident

0:37:54 > 0:37:57a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to

0:37:57 > 0:38:01own a brand-new home at the heart of this new development.

0:38:01 > 0:38:04A new home that will, in time I'm sure,

0:38:04 > 0:38:07prove to be the shrewdest investment you will ever make.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- And what's in it for you? - Shut up!

0:38:11 > 0:38:13No, no. He has a point -

0:38:13 > 0:38:15a fair point.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19Now, obviously, new Trefelin will bring with it many challenges

0:38:19 > 0:38:20and opportunities.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24Let me be honest, profit,

0:38:24 > 0:38:28and I intend to be around to enjoy it all.

0:38:28 > 0:38:33But tonight, ladies and gentlemen, friends, I want you to join with me

0:38:33 > 0:38:36and share in this dream.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40So, please, have another drink, have a good look at the plans.

0:38:40 > 0:38:43I'll be happy to answer any questions

0:38:43 > 0:38:47you may have and individually, if you so wish. Thank you.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49Thank you very much.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03That sounds very interesting. No police station, though.

0:39:03 > 0:39:06It's all very interesting.

0:39:09 > 0:39:11Nice to see you again, Dr Sharma.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13Dr Thomas.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Emlyn, on your own?

0:39:15 > 0:39:18Megan...my wife, is busy.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23What a shame. Please, help yourself to drinks.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25I think I will, you know.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31So, what do you think?

0:39:31 > 0:39:32It's very interesting.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35Is it based on the development at Milton Keynes?

0:39:35 > 0:39:36There are similarities, yes.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40Towns like this, Dr Sharma, bear the future of pedestrianised

0:39:40 > 0:39:42town centres and purpose-built car parks.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Where does the mine fit in? I don't see the mine anywhere.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48Well, we are in discussion with the Coal Board about that

0:39:48 > 0:39:52and I'm confident we will reach a mutually profitable agreement...

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- What is mutually...? - Excuse me.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00I'm so pleased you could come.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02Thank you so much for inviting us, Mr Thomas.

0:40:02 > 0:40:05- Oh, first names, please. Call me Basil.- Kamini.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Do you work, Kamini?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10No, not at the moment. I studied English at university -

0:40:10 > 0:40:12I was hoping to do something with that.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15But, when we moved to Trefelin, other things took priority.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Well, we should talk. You're exactly the kind of educated person

0:40:18 > 0:40:21I'm going to need to get this new town built. Excuse me.

0:40:21 > 0:40:24An American-style supermarket, ladies and gentleman,

0:40:24 > 0:40:27just like the latest ones in London.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29A supermarket, fancy that?

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Well, I'll buy you one when I win the pools, girl.

0:40:31 > 0:40:35Nonsense. You'll spend it all on your chickens.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40Nobody expected this, did they?

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Or this new health centre.

0:40:44 > 0:40:49You know, maybe we should have stayed in India.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53- Or maybe I should have taken that job in London after all.- Maybe.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Maybe. Maybe.

0:40:55 > 0:40:58Maybe we need a new receptionist, but maybe you couldn't choose one.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Maybe you'll go to see the new house and then leave it

0:41:01 > 0:41:02until it gets taken off the market.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- So, ladies... - I'm not getting into this now.

0:41:06 > 0:41:11..thank you for allowing me to share in my vision.

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Maybe you'll move to a new practice.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Maybe you'll apply for a job.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19It's not always up to me, you know.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22Everything's maybe with you.

0:41:22 > 0:41:24You're so busy saying it, nothing ever changes.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Nothing ever happens.

0:41:28 > 0:41:33And now, will you all join me in a rendition of our glorious National Anthem?

0:41:42 > 0:41:45THEY SING WELSH NATIONAL ANTHEM

0:42:07 > 0:42:09You make sure they shut that mine.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11Just make sure it happens.

0:42:11 > 0:42:16That's where they keep the explosives. Got 'em.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17Oi! What are you doing?!

0:42:18 > 0:42:22I know what's wrong with me. I don't need any examination.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25I just need some time to think it through.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27This new town - it's an absolute gold mine.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30By the time the outside world gets to hear,

0:42:30 > 0:42:32we'll be sitting on a small fortune.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38We'd really appreciate your opinion on the plans for the health centre.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Yes, of course.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44And I don't want to jump the gun, but I will be looking for a new partner.
