0:00:02 > 0:00:06I, er, apologise. I did not wish to...injure.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Have you told Rene?

0:00:09 > 0:00:11- About the baby... - I can't.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Why not? - Because the baby can't be his.

0:00:14 > 0:00:15George must never know.

0:00:15 > 0:00:20The only thing you need to make you unbeatable is the right wife.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23George is having a second chance and you're taking yours.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25I thought perhaps I might follow suit.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27So you'll be leaving Ash Park?

0:00:27 > 0:00:29If that's what George wants.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32We do hope you'll do us the honour of being George's godparents?

0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Oh, my goodness!- We can't.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36- We thought that...- We're Catholic.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38All because of James?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41It's not natural, what he is. It goes against God.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46HE YELLS IN PAIN

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Quick! I need help!

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I can't have this baby. I don't want it.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52You running away from home, missy?

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Aunt Peg isn't well.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm off to the shops, do you want anything?

0:01:19 > 0:01:20I'll do the shopping.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23I've just had a stroke, love. I'm not a cripple.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25And I am still on the ball.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27At least I think I am.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29I just have to find my keys. SHE CHUCKLES

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, then, I'm not making myself clear.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39I just need you to confirm this is a registered

0:01:39 > 0:01:42medical doctor's surgery before I make an app...

0:01:42 > 0:01:44DEAD TONE ON PHONE

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Well, would you mind telling me where the doctor's practising now?

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Yes, I understand, but, er, do you know where the doctor's moved to?

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Well, is there anyone else that you can refer me to

0:02:03 > 0:02:05- who might be able to...? - DOOR SLAMS

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Er, yes, the intravenous just needs to stay in another day.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12I think that's it. OK. Bye.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Here, let me.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, you can stay as long as you like!

0:02:16 > 0:02:17THEY CHUCKLE

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Next door pays for their telephone calls.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23You certainly don't.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Well, they don't either, half the time.- Aunt Peg!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Oh, don't "Aunt Peg" me!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32But you have been on the blower quite a lot. It must be exhausting.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, any luck finding a surgeon?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Oh, I suppose it must be a very specialised field,

0:02:38 > 0:02:40that sort of brain operation.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yes, yes, it is.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, have you spoken to Rene this morning?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yes, he's much better. Much.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- And George, any news?- They tell me he's making excellent progress.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51It was a terrible thing to happen.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55But on what you've told me, it could have been a lot worse.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59When all's said and done, George is a very lucky man.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06And how is he this morning?

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Last heard boasting he'd had a long walk before breakfast.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's very good news. And baby George?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Currently reading the morning paper out loud,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16in ancient Greek, I believe.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17I AM smiling.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20And Dr Nordmann, any news?

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I suppose the poor man is still under close supervision?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Jack's taken responsibility for watching over him.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Jack takes on too much. - Well, Sarah had to go to Sydney.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Oh, really? Oh, d-do you know why?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Er...her Aunt Peg's unwell...

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Sorry, Mother. I might have to go in a tick.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37Oh, so do I.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Oh, but speaking of time, that clock radio contraption of yours

0:03:41 > 0:03:45has proved rather a challenge, but I think I've managed to tame it.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I thought it was a two-day wonder!

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Oh, I told you you'd enjoy waking up to music.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51The instruction booklet was incomprehensible, of course.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I've written a letter to the manufacturers.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59- Anything else you need help with? - No, no. Nothing at all.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Bye-bye, dear, I've enjoyed the chat.- Bye.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Thank you.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33So what brings you to Sydney?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- To find a good surgeon for my husband.- Oh! I see.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Carolyn mentioned that your aunt's unwell?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Yes, yes, that as well. - Please do give her my best.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47- I shall include her in my prayers. - I will.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50I'm so glad you agreed to meet me, Sarah.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55I did apologise for my hasty reaction at the hospital,

0:04:55 > 0:04:57but I must not let myself off the hook.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I truly regret treating you so poorly in the past.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Thank you, Elizabeth.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07I know that if it hadn't been for your courage

0:05:07 > 0:05:11and your sharp thinking, I might have lost George.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Then again, if I hadn't brought Rene back to Inverness,

0:05:14 > 0:05:15the accident would never have happened.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's so sad for George that your marriage didn't proceed.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29Marriage is of course about so much more than just love, isn't it?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31For so many women since the war,

0:05:31 > 0:05:34their husband is no longer the man they married.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37I feel for you.

0:05:37 > 0:05:38It's not an easy cross to bear.

0:05:38 > 0:05:44Well, they say the two most powerful healers are patience...and time.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51So, tell me how you're settling into city life.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56It's very different.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00You know, when I left Ash Park, I thanked you for the impetus to go.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01You were one of the very few people

0:06:01 > 0:06:03who truly understood why I had to leave.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07I admired...ADMIRE your courage.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You know, I...

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I used to be disdainful of women

0:06:12 > 0:06:18who made their decisions based on emotions, feelings.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24I'm coming to realise that feelings are not necessarily to be ignored.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31Mind you, if my feelings about the dreadful Regina Standish

0:06:31 > 0:06:33were ever allowed to surface...

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- SARAH CHUCKLES - ..heaven help us all!

0:06:36 > 0:06:38When in doubt, ask a busy person.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41I shouldn't have promised Sir Richard a card party,

0:06:41 > 0:06:43you've got the christening to rearrange.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45And now all these men descending upon the house...

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I'll greet the chaps as they arrive throughout the day, how's that?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I think everything's under control, but...thank you.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'll ask the staff to check the card tables.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Moths do love felt.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57That's been done. Thank you.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Good cigars, plenty of?

0:06:59 > 0:07:03I've done a few men's cards parties in my time, that's all.

0:07:03 > 0:07:09Actually, our estate in England was known for its games evenings.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I can hear my mother's instructions to the staff,

0:07:12 > 0:07:13as if she were here beside me.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16And how satisfying it is to be busy!

0:07:16 > 0:07:20- The time just seems to fly, don't you think?- Always.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Excuse me. Olivia, my artist friend Lloyd has written to say

0:07:23 > 0:07:25that he's arriving tomorrow to start on your family portrait,

0:07:25 > 0:07:27on top of everything else! Sorry.

0:07:27 > 0:07:32- We'll just have to make time, won't we? And room.- Good.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37I'll walk with you. How does this sound for the supper menu?

0:07:41 > 0:07:42There you are.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48George, do we have any more records to spare? Some jazz?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Jack thinks a variety might be therapeutic for Dr Nordmann.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Yes, of course. Of course. - Thank you.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Jack's a good man, isn't he?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59He is indeed.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01What?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Sit down for a moment.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Is he...

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Is Jack...

0:08:12 > 0:08:13How do I put this?

0:08:13 > 0:08:15..Anna's natural father?

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Carolyn?

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Yes.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Jack Duncan.- Yes.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30When Anna was a baby...

0:08:32 > 0:08:35..Elaine and I would speculate who the father was

0:08:35 > 0:08:37and why you would never tell us.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Then...

0:08:42 > 0:08:43..life takes over, Anna was ours.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47How much does she know?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50She knows that I gave birth to her.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53And she knows about Jack.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55She put two and two together, George,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- I had to tell her the truth. - Does Jack know that he's her...?

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Yes.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02I told him not long before Anna realised.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04There was so much going on for you and Sarah,

0:09:04 > 0:09:08I was...I was waiting for the right time.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Of course.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14So.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16- What is the etiquette here? - CAROLYN LAUGHS

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Shall I speak with Jack, or...would you like to ask Jack

0:09:20 > 0:09:22if he'd like to speak with me?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24How does one share one's daughter?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29You are Anna's father, George.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33She thinks of you as her father and she loves you as her father.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- I hope that doesn't change. - Father?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Is now a good time to talk about the ram figures?- Course.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44All right, Carolyn?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48So that's the greasy fleece weight,

0:09:48 > 0:09:50that's the body weight and that's the wool type.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52350 guineas was the price from a similar sale.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Now, question is, do we go that high?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I have every faith in you.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59You've seen enough auctions, you'll get the best price.

0:09:59 > 0:10:00Thanks, Father.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02James?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05There's something Carolyn and I need to tell you.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'm actually Anna's cousin.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16And of course, that's why Jack was best man at the wedding.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's...it's like something out of one of Anna's novels.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22She's obviously handled it all very well.

0:10:22 > 0:10:23I never guessed.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Not once.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30I remember when my parents brought Anna home as a baby.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34And my mother putting her in my arms and she said,

0:10:34 > 0:10:35"This is your little sister."

0:10:35 > 0:10:38She still is, James.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- BABY GURGLES Oh! Oh!- I'll take him.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Hello, Georgie. Georgie Porgy.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55They can all keep a secret, that's for sure.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Can't they, Georgie?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59From a good place, though.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Not wanting to hurt each other.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06The most important thing, I think, is that your parents loved Anna

0:11:06 > 0:11:08as if she WERE their own.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Ooh... Ah...

0:11:12 > 0:11:14I think he needs a change. Can you...?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20One day, I will show you how to do it.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Mind you, what if she had never been told?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Or worse still, found out accidentally?

0:11:32 > 0:11:35All's well that ends well, I suppose.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42BABY CRIES Ssh!

0:11:43 > 0:11:47SHEEP BLEAT

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Hello!

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Look at you, riding!

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Does your doctor know?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55No, he doesn't.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- And you're not about to tell him. - SHE LAUGHS

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Carolyn and I had a talk this morning.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Are you cross with me?

0:12:09 > 0:12:10Father...

0:12:10 > 0:12:13I know some people tell their children - why didn't we?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16As I said to Carolyn, you always seemed so...carefree.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19And I was yours. Yours and Mother's.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20I still am.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27George.

0:12:27 > 0:12:28Gino.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Father knows. That I know, and about Jack.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Is everything OK?

0:12:35 > 0:12:39My greatest hope, truly, is that nothing changes between us.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40There's no chance of that.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Then, please. You're both welcome in Ash Park any time.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Thank you, Father.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48I'll be over this afternoon to race Stardust.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50- You should bring her down here! - SHE LAUGHS

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Can you imagine Stardust sleeping in that draughty old barn?

0:12:54 > 0:12:56But we're going to fix it up, and then she can.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Take your father in for a cold drink, eh?

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'll just finish up with Carlo.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Now, don't faint.- Mm-hm?

0:13:05 > 0:13:09But, um, I've made some limonata and panforte cake.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's...like a cake.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13So on top of everything else,

0:13:13 > 0:13:15my daughter is turning into an Italiana?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18IN ITALIAN ACCENT: Ah, of course!

0:13:23 > 0:13:24Grazie, Carlo.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28I should be back before the end of the week.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Yes.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32OK, thanks, Jack.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38- I'm just popping out for a while. I won't be long.- Sarah!

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Anything you need?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42When Mrs Bligh called earlier,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45she seemed to know that I'd been unwell.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I get the sense that I'm an excuse.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Well, I have been concerned about you since...

0:13:50 > 0:13:53That you didn't really come down to look for a surgeon for Rene.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Well, there's a health matter of mine I need to attend to.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01It's nothing. Really. I'll be as right as rain.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03I just need to find my purse.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I know I'm an old lady,

0:14:08 > 0:14:10but...I didn't come down in the last shower.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15Are you expecting, love? Is that it?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Are you and the baby healthy?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Then that's all that matters.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26Everything else can be solved! Sit down.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30How far gone are you?

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Nearly three months.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37I will do everything I can to help you and Rene.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39It won't be easy, I know,

0:14:39 > 0:14:41he has a long way to go before, you know, all that...

0:14:41 > 0:14:42Peg, it isn't...

0:14:45 > 0:14:46The baby isn't Rene's.

0:14:52 > 0:14:53It's George's.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58Oh, my dear Godfather. Did...did you and George...?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Oh, yes, you did.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Look, I know I'm old-fashioned, but... Sorry.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04You don't need me going crook on you.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06The thing is that I need to face facts.

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Rene may take years to recover fully,

0:15:10 > 0:15:13he'll probably never practise medicine again.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15- He can find some other employment. - I can't be a mother

0:15:15 > 0:15:17and a nursing sister.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Oh, don't, don't!

0:15:18 > 0:15:22Don't adopt this baby out to strangers, please!

0:15:22 > 0:15:24This could be your last chance!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26You would regret it for the rest of your life!

0:15:26 > 0:15:33I'll take it! I'll look after it until you're...until you're ready!

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I can, I will!- Peg...- Please, please don't adopt out this baby.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I have thought about this long and hard.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44But I can't go through with it. I...I need to find a doctor.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46No. Oh, no, no, no.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48You're going to say what I think you're going to say?!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50If I thought there was an alternative...

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Adopt it out then, do that.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Give yours to couple who can't have a child.- I have to work!

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- George will help you! - He can never know.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59I can't have this baby, Peg.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01All the times I've stood up for you.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Don't think I haven't agonised over this!

0:16:03 > 0:16:05You are carrying a child!

0:16:05 > 0:16:08- TEARFULLY:- I could never forgive you this!

0:16:08 > 0:16:11All the terrible things you've been through, this is...

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I can't even look at you. - Aunt Peg, please!

0:16:14 > 0:16:16- No. No, no, no, no.- Peg!

0:16:16 > 0:16:20- I don't even know who you are! - Please!- No!

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- The physical symptoms are difficult to deal with.- It is hard, yes.

0:17:08 > 0:17:14When I...when I had my...dark times...

0:17:16 > 0:17:20..I tried to place myself way back to the person I was before the war.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23So that I wasn't defined by it.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Focus on a happier time.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28A student in Paris. That must have been...

0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Well, I can't even imagine that. - So music and parties...

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Life.- There you are.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Because while we need to address the underlying physical problem,

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- there's also the psychological... - Sarah. Where is Sarah?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44She's still in Sydney. She left yesterday.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49You have told me this, yes?

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes, Dr Nordmann.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Each time you ask.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54More than ten?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Do I ask more than...20 times?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00No.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03I improve.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Improvement.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Dr Duncan?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Mrs Timms is waiting on her medication

0:18:09 > 0:18:10and a trunk call for Dr Nordmann.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Rene?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22SPEAKS FRENCH:

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Parlez-moi.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Er...it's me.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34How is he, Jack?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36He was good this morning.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37I see.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Everything all right there?

0:18:52 > 0:18:53Hello.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Mm!

0:18:58 > 0:19:01See, if I had this every lunchtime, I'd fly through the afternoons.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05Aw. Imagine how you'd go if you had dessert.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06HE CHUCKLES

0:19:09 > 0:19:11George knows.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- About Anna.- Really?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17It's good. He's pleased that it's you.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21- And Anna? - George has spoken with her

0:19:21 > 0:19:23and he said that he would like to talk with you.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27All right. Good.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Did you happen to see that weeklies article?

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Didn't Her Majesty look simply charming?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39And the Duke - so handsome.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Order, please. Order.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43Now, ladies, as we all know,

0:19:43 > 0:19:47this year's ball is in aid of Mr Goddard's soup kitchen.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Refuge.- Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Goddard. - Returned soldiers' refuge.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56Which will soon have a much healthier bank account

0:19:56 > 0:20:00with Mrs Bligh having recently joined the committee.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- THEY APPLAUD - Thank you.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Mrs Bligh has to only wave her magic wand

0:20:05 > 0:20:08and the well-heeled open their cheque books.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10That's not entirely true.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12I look forward to seeing Mrs Bligh in action.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Patrons respond to first-rate entertainment.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20My point - and I would like this minuted, please -

0:20:20 > 0:20:23is that a lower budget for decor and the band

0:20:23 > 0:20:25would have a significant effect on funds raised.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I note the figure...

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Final cost for last year, page three of the annual report,

0:20:32 > 0:20:34surely far higher than strictly necessary.

0:20:34 > 0:20:35Mm-hm.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40So, we've decided on a Hollywood theme for the decor.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Do keep a note of your tasks, please.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44They signed the Treaty of Versailles

0:20:44 > 0:20:46quicker than we got to that conclusion.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49And for music, Sammy's Big Band is our first choice?

0:20:49 > 0:20:50I'm going to contact them.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Prudence, please, only if Mr Sammy is prepared to lower his fee.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58A good five-piece ensemble will still have people on their feet.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01The object of the game is to raise money, not spend it.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02I'm with Mrs B.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Very true. However, as we've heard,

0:21:04 > 0:21:08there's strong competition this fundraising season.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12We need to promise them a good bash and I do so love a big band.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Thank you.- Excuse me a minute. - Of course.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Thank you.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34We're on the same team, you and I, Mrs Bligh.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37People don't need bells and whistles and big bands to cough up.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40They either support these diggers or they don't.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42It must be very satisfying, Mr Goddard,

0:21:42 > 0:21:43helping the men as you do.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Why don't you come and have a look? You'd be the first of this lot.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Why not?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'm afraid I don't have the address, Mr Goddard.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00People often ask for the address.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Not too many turn up.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11As long as you understand, I couldn't tell you,

0:22:11 > 0:22:12not until Father knew.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15I do understand. I just keep thinking how,

0:22:15 > 0:22:17if Mother and Father hadn't brought you in,

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- I could have been spared a little sister.- You...!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21You're still my big brother.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24You're still my irritating little sister.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27My James is much too nice to do that!

0:22:27 > 0:22:29That wine took a while.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Now, come here and settle something for me.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35I need your support. Olivia doesn't believe me.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37He would never have done such a thing.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41I was telling her about the time you put Anna's favourite teddy bear

0:22:41 > 0:22:43on your billy cart and sent it down the hill.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44No, no, no. That was her.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47I loved my teddies. I never would have done that.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49You pushed them down the steepest hill you could find.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52You sent it off a cliff and then you blamed me.

0:22:52 > 0:22:57- I need a testimony from the teddies. - Calling Mr Teddy to the stand!

0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Wasn't one of them named Felix? - Yes. Mother named him Felix

0:23:01 > 0:23:03because she liked the cartoon.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Yes. Yes, she did.- Miss...

0:23:06 > 0:23:10Little Georgie had quite a cry. He's asleep now.

0:23:10 > 0:23:11Thank you so much, Rose.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Speaking of Georgie,

0:23:16 > 0:23:20we met with the reverend to discuss the christening

0:23:20 > 0:23:23and you could both be witnesses.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Can we please stop talking about this?

0:23:26 > 0:23:30As Roman Catholics, it's against our religion to be godparents

0:23:30 > 0:23:32to children who are not of our faith,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35because we have to promise to raise that child in our church.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Same for you if we had a baby. I'm not being...- Of course.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Of course.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Well, here's to a wonderful family dinner.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44Thank you, Father.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:02 > 0:24:04You were looking at James strangely all night.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08I can't help it. It's unnatural.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11But they were holding hands. They seemed happy.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13So, is he cured?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15He could be.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26- And who are you being? - I made an experiment.

0:24:26 > 0:24:27It's good, uh?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29- It's lovely.- Blackberry.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33Strong tannins.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37I sent the soil from the west hill to be analysed.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Very good soil.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41- Very good drainage for... - For cucumbers.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45..for planting quality grapes.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Right here.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51But don't grape vines take a long time to grow?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52We can do it.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I know we can. You sacrificed a lot to be with me, but...

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Gino.- ..I'm going to make you proud, Mrs Poletti.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59You don't have to make me proud.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03All the best restaurants. Imagine. "A bottle of your finest Poletti."

0:25:03 > 0:25:04"Thank you, waiter."

0:25:04 > 0:25:08"Poletti wine is for that special occasion!"

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Look at this. My uncle's going to Toscana.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15They're making wines in traditional bottle, see?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Straw. We've got plenty of straw!

0:25:17 > 0:25:19SONG STARTS

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Oh, this is my new favourite song!

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- SHE TURNS VOLUME UP - Ballare con me.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46HE SIGHS

0:25:46 > 0:25:47George?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51I so much want to help you,

0:25:51 > 0:25:53but I know you want to do it on your own.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56- That's right. - I'm here if you need me.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00I could telephone Sir Richard. Postpone the card party.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02- I'm sure he'd understand. - No.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06It was an excellent idea of yours. You make sure he stays the night.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Thank you.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15It all seems so much fuss, this christening.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Over one chubby boy.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Our chubby boy.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Sleep well.

0:26:59 > 0:27:06- Oh! Lloyd Ellis-Parker, you ratbag! - Carolyn Bligh, you old tart!

0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Remember where you are, please! - Well, yes. Hallowed ground.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12The family pile.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16Lo, this is what being in love looks like.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20Iridescent. Or perhaps just smug.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23You'll be staying in the outhouse if you're not careful.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Did you find a room for him away from Mr Bligh's guests?

0:27:27 > 0:27:30- The groundsman's quarters, miss. - Good girl.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Ah, Olivia. Your guest has arrived.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Mrs Bligh, Mrs Standish, may I introduce Mr Ellis-Parker?

0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Pleased to meet you both. - And you, Mr Ellis-Parker.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Welcome to Ash Park. - Thank you.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Wait, please! We've put you in the groundsman's quarters

0:27:46 > 0:27:48we had set aside as your studio.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable there.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54You will be. Full house, I'm afraid.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Do have a very pleasant stay, Mr Ellis-Parker.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Let's talk card tables when you have a moment.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- So, it's Olivia you'll be painting, Lloyd.- Ah.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08And my son and husband.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12Well, for a terrible moment, I thought it was that snow queen.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16But, quelle fortunato.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18A perfect English rose. Thank you, Carolyn.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Lucky me.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary pray for us...

0:28:34 > 0:28:37O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy

0:28:37 > 0:28:39of the promises of Christ...

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Overall, I'm very pleased.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Your wound is healing very well indeed.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Quite proud of my handiwork actually.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37How's the morphine going? Do you need another prescription?

0:29:37 > 0:29:38It certainly takes the pain away.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41Well, that's what it's supposed to do.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44But too much of it and you'll be three sheets to the wind,

0:29:44 > 0:29:46so do keep an eye on it, as I'm sure you will.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48- You've done a wonderful job, Mr Fox. - Henry, please.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51KNOCK AT DOOR Yes?

0:29:51 > 0:29:52Tea for Mr Fox.

0:29:52 > 0:29:53Thank you.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57No, credit where credit's due, George. If Sister...

0:29:57 > 0:30:01- Oh, the nurse who was in the ambulance.- Nordmann.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04If she hadn't have pulled her brilliant rabbit out of the hat,

0:30:04 > 0:30:07I doubt you would have made it to my table.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10Well, as you can see, I continue to be well looked after.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12And, Henry, if you care to stay the evening after you

0:30:12 > 0:30:16- finish your rounds, you're most welcome.- Oh, thank you.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Tell me, is Sister Nordmann still working up here?- Yes. Yes, she is.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Tell her she's still the talk of the tea room.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Do give her my best, will you?

0:30:24 > 0:30:25Of course.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30Ah, for Sarah? I thought those were for me.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Er...she's not here. She's gone to Sydney.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Rene?- No, he's here.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Is that the...?- Yes, it is.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40I'll get a nurse to put those in water.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- You're making an excellent recovery. - Yes.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00- I suppose I should have twigged it was you. At the wedding.- Ah.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Yes.- But I didn't.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05You were too focused on giving your daughter away.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08A daughter you have every right to be very, very proud of.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14Jack...

0:31:14 > 0:31:16I'd feel more comfortable if this remained within our family.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20- No-one's business but our own. - Thank you.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27I've been told you'd like some new recordings.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30I took a guess as to what you might enjoy.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38- Oh? Grappelli!- There's some Maxine Sullivan, Josephine Baker.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41Shall I put this one on?

0:31:41 > 0:31:42Not here.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44Sorry?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46Not here. Sarah is not here.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50No, she's in Sydney, as I understand.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Her Aunt Peg.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt, I like very much.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58Satie, aussi.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Good.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02So do I.

0:32:05 > 0:32:10Very kind of you to chauffeur Mr Bligh during his convalescence.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13I like to help wherever I can.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16What a compassionate man, to visit Dr Nordmann,

0:32:16 > 0:32:18given the circumstances.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22And also to thank Sister Nordmann in person.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25What a shame. She's not here.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27She had to go to Sydney.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Oh. We weren't aware.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33I imagine she's gone to seek medical help for her husband.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35I wouldn't know.

0:32:35 > 0:32:40- Poor man.- I'm told she telephones him twice a day. Sometimes more.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42- It's Mr Briggs I worry about.- Why?

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Well, the man's been a saint to take in the Nordmanns as he did.

0:32:45 > 0:32:47I'm sure he enjoys the company.

0:32:47 > 0:32:51But would it be wise to take Mr Nordmann back

0:32:51 > 0:32:52after what happened?

0:32:52 > 0:32:57Mr Briggs is entirely capable. And where else would they go?

0:32:57 > 0:32:59That is where the Nordmanns live now.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00That is their home.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04I just assumed Dr Nordmann would be needing full-time care.

0:33:04 > 0:33:08As I said, you'll find Mr Briggs entirely capable.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16- These things have a way of working out.- Mm.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Mrs Bligh! Welcome!

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Back to the pond. Back to the pond, lads.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21- Oh, don't take any notice of them. - I've heard worse, Mr Goddard.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Douglas.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26So this is our refuge.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31Ah, yes. Some of our men sleep rough.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34"Weary is he, and sick of the sorrow of war.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38"Hating the shriek of loud music, the beat of the drum."

0:34:38 > 0:34:42"Is this the shadow called glory men sell themselves for?"

0:34:42 > 0:34:44How do you take your tea, Mrs Bligh?

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Oh, I'm here to be of use, Mr Goddard,

0:34:46 > 0:34:48not to sit about drinking tea.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55How are you managing? Everything all right?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57I'm very, very well, thank you.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Well, I'm sure it'll be delicious. - Ha!

0:35:00 > 0:35:03And if it isn't, they'll throw something.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Ah.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23- I hope you're settling in all right. - Yes.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26We have a card party this evening, if you'd care to join the men.

0:35:26 > 0:35:31Oh, I think I'd rather poke my eye out with a pencil!

0:35:31 > 0:35:32Oh, is that too rude?

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Not at all.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37I don't play poker either.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Oh, I'm not here for a sitting. - Just indulge me.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45All right.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52My brother-in-law's wine. It's grown here.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Thought you might like to try it.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Never trust a country that doesn't make its own wine.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01I hope it's not too rough. Not for me.

0:36:01 > 0:36:02Thank you.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Righty-ho.

0:36:04 > 0:36:09Also, I wasn't sure if you'd eaten. Just in case you're peckish.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13And I am sorry you've had to stay so far from the house.

0:36:13 > 0:36:15If there's anything you need, just let me know.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Should I stop talking?

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Depends on what you have to say.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26Boring practical matters, I'm afraid.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29How you'll get us all together.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32My husband is busy with an auction today and after that, he's...

0:36:32 > 0:36:36What's it called? Oh, it's something else to do with the stock.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38- Um...- Slaughtering them, perhaps?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40No!

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- I can't think when someone's sketching me.- There.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'll paint you all separately.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53- That way I can get to know you better.- Goodness!

0:36:53 > 0:36:55It's me, but...

0:36:55 > 0:36:56Yes.

0:36:56 > 0:36:57..in a different way.

0:36:57 > 0:37:02A painter friend of mine once described art as deception.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Just...

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Yes.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17Any favourite painters, Olivia?

0:37:19 > 0:37:23Um... I used to love the Dutch Masters.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Yes.- The National Gallery in London.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- My father used to take me whenever we went to town.- Van Eyck.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Rembrandt? - Vermeer was my favourite.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Yeah. - Have you been there? London?

0:37:36 > 0:37:39You must miss it? England?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44No.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45This is home now.

0:38:12 > 0:38:13Cut it up. I can't eat that.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15Oh, no, no. Not to worry.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18Bill has to have it cut up for him. Hang on a sec, mate.

0:38:18 > 0:38:19Won't be long.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22He was an Anzac, that bloke.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25Tale to tell, if anyone could get it out of him.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Want me to do it? - No. No, no. Not at all.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40How's that for you, Mr... Um... Bill?

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Is that small enough?

0:38:42 > 0:38:44HE MUMBLES

0:38:44 > 0:38:47Could you repeat that, please?

0:38:47 > 0:38:49HE MUMBLES

0:38:49 > 0:38:50No, no, no.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52Could you just say it again,

0:38:52 > 0:38:54or shall I leave you to have your meal in peace?

0:38:54 > 0:38:58- MUMBLING:- I was only... Stay and have a chinwag.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01I'll leave you.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04HE MUMBLES

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Does he want something else? Do you want something else?

0:39:07 > 0:39:09- MUMBLING:- Sit down...sit down...

0:39:13 > 0:39:16I think I might be better in here.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Shall I put you on the roster? Another day this week?

0:39:18 > 0:39:22I don't think so, Mr Goddard. I'm not sure I'm of use.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Where's my handbag? I left it there.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30Being down and out doesn't make a man a thief.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Could it be any more garish?

0:39:52 > 0:39:55SHE SIGHS

0:39:55 > 0:39:57DOOR CLOSES

0:40:00 > 0:40:04This isn't fair on you, Peg.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06I've put you in a terrible position.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10I've found a hotel and I'll move in there.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14The church teaches us

0:40:14 > 0:40:17that a child is a gift.

0:40:17 > 0:40:19A gift from God.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21However, I've...

0:40:21 > 0:40:24I've never been in your position.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29Judge not and ye shall not be judged.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41I had to have two sherries at the Captain Cook to get this.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01You won! Fourth prize.

0:41:01 > 0:41:02It's a boiled fruitcake.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05- So it will last.- I don't even remember buying a ticket.

0:41:05 > 0:41:09It's what everybody always says. Look. Your name.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12Well, we'll make short work of it. Thanks a lot.

0:41:12 > 0:41:16The nurses tell me that Dr Nordmann's been quite agitated.

0:41:16 > 0:41:20Well, he would be with missy away. I'll drop by and see him directly.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23He's safe at the hospital, which is a good thing.

0:41:23 > 0:41:25He'll be safe back here as well.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Do you really think so, Mr Briggs? Given George Bligh's lucky escape?

0:41:29 > 0:41:31I know you mean well,

0:41:31 > 0:41:34but that poor bugger was trying to kill himself, not anyone else.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Well...

0:41:36 > 0:41:39We'll have this for the coming home tea, eh?

0:41:47 > 0:41:48Ahem.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57Just relax.

0:41:57 > 0:41:58- I am relaxed.- No, you're not.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00You're too straight, you're too erect.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03I mean, you look like you have something stuck up your...

0:42:03 > 0:42:04..spine.

0:42:08 > 0:42:12My mother was wont to say my posture was my most attractive feature.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15Well, your mother was a damn fool.

0:42:22 > 0:42:26May I ask how long these preliminary sketches take?

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Change of plan.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Argh!

0:42:32 > 0:42:33HE LAUGHS

0:42:33 > 0:42:35Argh!

0:42:36 > 0:42:37Oh, no, no! I don't like this!

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Woo-hoo!

0:42:44 > 0:42:46THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Are you relaxed now?- I'm relaxed!

0:42:55 > 0:42:58James.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01This artist chap, he won't make up the numbers?

0:43:01 > 0:43:03Apparently not.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Do you want me to make up a table or not?

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Chap can't play cards without his lucky tie.

0:43:18 > 0:43:19You'll make a fool out of George. Go and change.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Or I could play starkers. What would you prefer?

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Righty-ho, chaps. Problem solved. Where am I?

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Resident cardsharp Miss Bligh's offered to make up a table.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29Good on you, Carolyn.

0:43:29 > 0:43:32You never cease to amaze me. You watch out for my sister.

0:43:32 > 0:43:34She's lethal.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Sir Richard?

0:43:45 > 0:43:48KNOCKS ON WINDOW Hello there.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51Come in.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53- I'm so sorry.- Come on in.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58I know this is unexpected.

0:43:58 > 0:43:59Don't mind me.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06I wanted to thank you today.

0:44:07 > 0:44:10It was lovely.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12It was really lovely! And I had a marvellous time,

0:44:12 > 0:44:14but I just wanted to say that...

0:44:16 > 0:44:18..I am a happily married woman.
