0:00:25 > 0:00:28BIKE BELL RINGS AND PEOPLE CHATTER
0:00:28 > 0:00:29WOMAN: Morning!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Hello, Nurse Lee. - Morning!
0:00:44 > 0:00:48MATURE JENNY: Before I came to Poplar, I'd been sheltered.
0:00:48 > 0:00:53I was shy, shielded from life's more...unsavoury facts.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'd kept my guard up, kept my head down,
0:00:56 > 0:01:01kept my distance from the world and believed myself content.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What? Getting a good look, are you?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Be nice. You might well be seeing a lot more of me.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11MATURE JENNY: Life in the East End had begun to make its mark.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I was growing bolder.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19But there was still a great deal I was keeping in reserve.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Another early one? - Aren't they always?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Sometimes you want to tell them to cross their legs till lunch time.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33A happy customer donated half a cow to our dinner table.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- WOMEN: Ooh! - Must have been quite a delivery.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Butcher's baby.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39SISTER BERNADETTE: It's not fireworks, is it, Fred?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Nope.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Well, that's something at least.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Fred has another moneyspinning idea and won't tell us what it is.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48You're welcome to guess, but you won't get it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50It's a winner, this one, I'm telling you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Fortune favours the bold.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Thus Virgil.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Quite right, Sister.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Caput inter nubilia condo. I hide my head among the clouds.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Also Virgil.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's too early for Virgil.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Only for the ignorant.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10SISTER JULIENNE: Oh, Nurse Lee, excellent.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I'm sure you wanted a rest after the night you've had, but I'm afraid you're needed.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18This is the one, ladies. I can feel it.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23"Who's got that big house on the hill?" people will ask, and it'll be me.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25You see if it ain't.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29And everyone will say, "He's not such a fool as we thought."
0:02:30 > 0:02:33GULLS CRY OUTSIDE
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- The patient is Joe Collett. - BELL CHIMES
0:02:37 > 0:02:40He suffers with ulcers on his legs
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and requires his dressings to be changed three times a week.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Ulcers?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I know you weren't on the district nursing rota for several weeks,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52but numbers at Nonnatus are limited,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and the needs of our community are only ever expanding, so...
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Of course.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Enjoy yourself.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He is an interesting old man, I have found.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- DOOR SHUTS - Hurry up.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Sorry, it's my blasted slip. SHE SIGHS
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I took it in last night, but I think I've overdone it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's somewhat restrictive to the breathing.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Planning to work in that? - I'm fine.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Unless I bend. Or sit.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Or laugh. Or cough. Or if I...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Oh.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30Morning, officers.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Good morning, Sister. - Oh!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- I am so, so sorry. - No harm done.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You're something of a menace on that thing.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I know.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Er...Constable Noakes is the, um...
0:03:43 > 0:03:46the officer I managed to crash into a few weeks ago.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49If it's any consolation, she's a menace no matter how she conveys herself.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Well, like I say, no harm done at all.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Although maybe it'd be best if you had hit me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I wouldn't say no to more of that whiskey you brought over.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm sure it can be arranged. The whiskey,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02not deliberately levelling you with my bicycle.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06- You look well. - And you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Very well.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10As do you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- SISTER EVANGELINA CLEARS THROAT - Well...
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I'd best be getting on.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Uphold the law, good sir.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Quite.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Chummy...! Why on earth did I say that?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28At times like this, I'm more grateful than ever that I took vows.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Now come along.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Oh!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35CHILDREN CHATTER
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Mr Collett, I'm Nurse Jenny Lee. I'm here to see about your ulcers.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Ah, yeah, well, it's my pleasure to have you here.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03I'm sure we're going to get along famous.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Follow me.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I've, er... I've got the boiling water ready.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15MR COLLETT GRUNTS
0:05:18 > 0:05:20HE GRUNTS
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Um...where can I lay out my instruments?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Oh, just move that out the way.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I'm going to clean the wounds now. It may sting, Mr Collett.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Joe. Joe will do fine. Yeah.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51HE GASPS AND SIGHS
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Would you...would you like a cup of tea?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I'm fine, thank you. - Oh, it's no bother.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00It won't take but a minute.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Oh, um...- There.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09What...what's wrong?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15I'd actually, er...prefer a cold drink, if you had one.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Then that's what you shall have, my maiden.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Oh, no, I can't drink on duty. I meant orange squash or something.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Well, I'm sorry. I...I don't have anything else.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It doesn't matter.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45I got them from gun wounds during the war.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The Boer War, this was.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I thought you must be a soldier.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51HE CHUCKLES A soldier!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Hardly.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I was 17.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57No older than you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- You're flattering me, Mr Collett. - Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I...I am. Is it working?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Absolutely!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Over here.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Beautiful bunch, eh?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Lovely.- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16My two sons, they, er... joined the Great War and...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18they never came home.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And my Sally... Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27A firebomb during the Blitz.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- I'm sorry.- Don't be.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I loved them.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They loved me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41HE SIGHS
0:07:41 > 0:07:43There. All done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Now, are you sure I can't offer you a drink?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'm quite all right, really.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Yes, of course, er...
0:07:51 > 0:07:55you have a great deal to do, no doubt.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- CHILDREN PLAY OUTSIDE - I have the evening off tonight.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I could...come back then and share a glass with you?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09If...if you wanted that, I mean.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Well, that would be a delight, my maiden.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17A thousand welcomes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28BABY GRIZZLES
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Pregnant, eh?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56We're having a baby, you know. Me and my wife.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Just found out today.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'm going to be a dad.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Hush, Ted. - Sorry, love.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- BABY WHINES - Got no chance now, have I?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Not now it's two against one.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Mrs Lawson?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12That's us. Ted and Winnie.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm sorry. We don't allow men back here.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I can't stay with her?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm sorry, Mr Lawson.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I'll be right here, love, if you need me. Right here.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25We went to the doctor's this morning.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I thought Win was ill, didn't I?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Lost my first wife to cancer, so I was thinking the worst.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33She's been so tired.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And there it is. Pregnant.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Thought I was too old. I've got three already.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Done most of their growing.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I never even thought about another.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50There.
0:09:55 > 0:09:5836 centimetres fundal height.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01That means you're 36 weeks along. Due in a month.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05That soon?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Your husband said you only found out today?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I...I knew I was getting bigger.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13So did Ted, though, bless him, he never said nothing.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I thought maybe I was going through the change or...I don't know.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Maybe I just didn't want to think I could be in the family way again.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Not now.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Mrs Lawson, are you all right? - Course.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Just a bit of a shock.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm 41. I'm too old.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38All that all over again.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It's just a bit of a shock.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Thank you, Mr Collett.- Joe.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Joe. Joe.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Yeah, well...
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I was afraid you wouldn't come.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Here you are. - Mm. Well, of course I am.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- How are your legs? - Oh, very comfortable, thanks to you.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Do you mind? - Not at all.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19This is luxury, isn't it?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Ah, but it is.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26When I was young, I would... I'd never have dreamed of such luxury.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30A warm bed at night. Enough food to eat.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Huh! Oh.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35My Sally loved it here.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40CHILDREN PLAY NEARBY
0:11:41 > 0:11:44TRAFFIC PASSES
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Twice in one day, I know. Probably the last thing you want.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55But I thought I should drop round your delivery pack.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Come in.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Did you have any questions or...?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04No, you've been kind enough as it is, bringing this over.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Now, Ted, I'm sure he'd be full of questions. Fortunately for you, he's out.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11He seems very excited.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's his first. You must think we make quite the pair.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Not at all.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21My first husband walked out one day without a word, never came back.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22How awful.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26With three children to look out for, I got a job in a paper shop.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Ted used to come in to that shop every day and just stare at this bar of chocolate
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and he'd leave without saying a word.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34I thought he was mad.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Anyway, finally I ask him, "What are you up to?"
0:12:38 > 0:12:40And he says his wife used to love that chocolate.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Then I started talking to him whenever he came in,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and soon enough, he asked me to the pictures.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49A year later, we were married.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51That's lovely.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Truth be told, I... I didn't marry him for love.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59It was for my children.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Making a future for 'em, a life.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07But he's so kind, so patient.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14As time went by, I... I knew I hadn't done the wrong thing.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16(SOBS) But...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19What's wrong, Mrs Lawson?
0:13:19 > 0:13:20DOOR SLAMS
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Nurse? Everything all right?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Absolutely. I just came to drop round the delivery pack.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And that's all fine, so I should probably be on my way.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I went to get some books.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Margaret Myles, Midwifery.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Grantly Dick-Read, Childbirth Without Fear.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44You'll know more than me by the time you've read that lot!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'll see you both soon.
0:13:50 > 0:13:57We were only 16 apiece, but I knew she was the only girl in the world for me.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02She agreed to wait until I got back from the war.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Three years she waited.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09And she was the reason I came back at all.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12How romantic!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14That's my one weakness.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17BOTH CHUCKLE
0:14:17 > 0:14:19What about you?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You must surely have a beau in your life?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Not really, Mr Collett. I'm far too busy.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Oh, never! A lively young girl like you? I don't believe it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31There'll be plenty of time for romance when I'm older.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Now, how about some more of those biscuits?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Of course. - No, I'll get them.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Oh!
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Are you all right?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yes, yes, I'm fine.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I, er... Do you know, I really think I should be going.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yeah, of course.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56You've...you've had a day's work today and you need your beauty sleep.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59No, no, don't get up. I'll...I'll see myself out.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15SHE GAGS
0:15:21 > 0:15:23LOW CHATTER
0:15:32 > 0:15:35How was the old man? He must have been handsome to keep you out so late.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I had the most terrifying experience.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I looked down and saw, right on the table...
0:15:44 > 0:15:47..there were hundreds of insects.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Just crawling about! - Oh, those.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Yes, they are a nuisance.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- It was revolting. It set off my asthma.- You poor thing.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Some of the insects I saw in India were as big as your hand,
0:16:01 > 0:16:06and their jaws, you saw every sharp glistening tooth, like, trying to bite you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Oh, sorry.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12All the tenements are full of insects. I'm surprised you hadn't seen them before.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's no wonder there's talk of closing the buildings down.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- There's always been talk. - They're not hygienic. It's about time.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I hold the insect in high esteem.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25I've often wished I had a thorax and a small pair of wings.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Who on earth would wish to be an insect? - We are all God's creatures.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And I would have thought you above all people, Sister,
0:16:32 > 0:16:35would appreciate a more slender thorax.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Behave yourself.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I can't go back there, not with those things crawling about.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Calm yourself, Nurse Lee. They do not infest human beings.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46And as for never going back there, it's out of the question.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- But, Sister... - Your comfort is not important.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54You have a job to do with Mr Collett and you will do it.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'm in a bit of a tight spot, Jenny. Can I come in?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm not dressed.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Please?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Thanks, Jen. You're a brick. - (Keep your voice down.)
0:18:10 > 0:18:12SHE MOUTHS
0:18:15 > 0:18:17How long have you been in London?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20About seven hours.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I'm sorry. I did come by earlier, but you were out.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Thank God you've still got that hideous clock.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I saw it in the window and I knew I had the right room.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can't believe you're a nun now.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34(I'm not a nun, you fool. I'm a nurse who works with nuns.)
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Oh.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Thank heavens. You're far too attractive to be a nun.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Mind your cheek, Jimmy.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45If I can't be cheeky to a girl I've known for 18 years, then what hope is there?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47What are you doing here?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51You remember when you were studying? I was a bit short of cash.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So Chris and I stayed in the drying room at the nurses' home.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I do. Three months of nail-biting fear that you'd be found out.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Why do you mention that?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Oh, no. You can't stay here.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07A man in Nonnatus House?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09I'd be dismissed for sure.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10One night.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I've nowhere else to go.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19(This way.)
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- You better be gone by the crack of dawn.- Scout's honour.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35I assume there's a story here.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I have no idea.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43All told, this might be the strangest night of my life. Good night.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:20:10 > 0:20:12SHE SIGHS
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Your guest made an early departure.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Jimmy's an old friend. He had nowhere to stay. I didn't think...
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Don't worry, Nurse Lee, I shan't be telling any tales...
0:20:24 > 0:20:29since you no doubt caught sight that I had a few overnight guests of my own.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Yes.- They're quails.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I'm a little short of space at home, and they'll do better in the warm.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40It all started with potatoes. I was growing 'em, see.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43But there's no money in spuds, so I switched to onions.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46And onions got me thinking, naturally, of chickens.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Naturally.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52And that got me thinking, "Well, hang on, Fred. What about quails?" You know?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Not really.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57People are always talking about chickens.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Chickens this and chickens that, like they can't do no wrong.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06But I say...move over chickens, there's a new fella in town.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Your quail.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Ah, he tastes very similar,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12but he's half the size and twice the price.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Ah...good for you.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Don't worry, Nurse Lee. I shan't forget you when I'm rich.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I'm telling you, I'm fine.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Shush, just another minute.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39This is silly. I've got to do the washing.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The book says we need to keep alert for any surges in temperature.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44You and your damn books.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Let me help with the washing, love.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The book says you'll be unsteady on your feet about now.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52We don't want you losing your balance, do we?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55I'm not a damned invalid, Ted.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So put those bloody books away and let me be!
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Sorry.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Nothing to apologise for, love.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You seeing that smelly old man again?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Bad enough I've got madam living on one side,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46I've got that disgusting old bugger on the other, stinking the place out...
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I'm telling you, you nurses ought to have something better to do
0:22:49 > 0:22:51than keep running around after him all the time.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52SHE SPITS
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm glad you came back.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Oh, of course.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Ah!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Most kind.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14And now, please, you'll join me,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16seeing as it's the end of the day.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, allow me.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25A reunion of the Scots Guards? How exciting!
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Oh, yes, it's quite an occasion, you know.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I used to enjoy them a great deal.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32You're not going?
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Oh, not for years now, thanks to these legs of mine.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Huh!
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Well, what if I were to take you?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Well, I... I don't want you to feel obliged.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49Mr Collett, it doesn't seem right that a man who fought for his country should be penned up at home.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Besides, it's not every girl has the opportunity
0:23:53 > 0:23:55to dine with so many men in uniform.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58You darling girl!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01What a day we'll have!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04What a day!
0:24:04 > 0:24:05GULLS CRY
0:24:05 > 0:24:08In spite of everything, he stays so cheerful.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13I only hope I can be like that when I'm old.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It sounds like he's had a full life.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18More than just work.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Oh, stop it. There's more to me than work.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24I've had my share of adventures.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Have you, now?
0:24:26 > 0:24:30When I was 17, there was a concert in London.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32My parents wouldn't let me go, so I stole out of the window,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35hitchhiked to London, saw the show anyway.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Well, well.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46What else haven't you told me?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Are you secretly married?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Wouldn't you like to know!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oh, please.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'll buy you these hideous earrings as a bribe.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58SHE LAUGHS
0:25:00 > 0:25:02No, what about these?
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Listen, I was hoping I could avail myself of the boiler room again tonight.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I thought you were studying to be an architect, not a professional vagrant.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I know, I know, but rent's so fearfully expensive,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and I can't take any of Mother's money, she's barely any.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23So, I've been going from floor to floor.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And tonight's floor has other occupants?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Something like that.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I promise I'll be discreet.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Again.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I'll throw in these.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38CLICKS CASTANETS
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Fine, fine!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Although I think I know a way you can pay me back.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Mr Lawson, is your wife on her way or...?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Actually, it's, er...it's just me,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- if that's allowed. - Of course.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06I'm trying to arrange the nursery, make all the preparations, you know.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11I've tried to talk to Winnie about it, but, well...she's busy around the house.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16We can talk about the nursery, Mr Lawson, but is that why you're really here?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17HE SIGHS
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Am I that see-through?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Take a seat.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Truth is, I'm worried about her.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29She ain't been herself.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34She's been...closed off. Barely talks to me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36And when she does speak, she's angry or she's...
0:26:36 > 0:26:39crying.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I don't know what to do.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44There are a lot of hormonal changes that happen when you're pregnant.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47A lot of women can get rather emotional.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50But you can't take it to heart, Mr Lawson.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Support her, and she will get through this.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56DOOR OPENS
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Oh, my goodness!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07You look wonderful!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- You should have let me help you. - HE CHUCKLES
0:27:10 > 0:27:12And missed the look on your face?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Jimmy?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Someone call for the cavalry? - Ah!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19HE CHUCKLES
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I've heard a lot about you, Mr Collett.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Then you'll know I prefer to be called Joe.
0:27:26 > 0:27:33I'm afraid Jenny hasn't returned the favour and I know very little about you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- Well, I'm her secret weapon. - Oh, yeah?

0:28:04 > 0:28:09Now, gentlemen, here is a truly distinguished old guardsman.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11HE CLEARS THROAT Collett, yes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- To an esteemed old soldier. - MEN: To an esteemed old soldier!

0:28:36 > 0:28:38The pleasure is all mine.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Maiden, I do hope you'll forgive me saying,
0:28:43 > 0:28:45but...

0:28:59 > 0:29:01HE CHUCKLES Oh, I don't know.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I do, and he does.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12Now, I don't know how many of you remember your first sergeant major.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21I wasn't, really.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Gonna take them home, dip 'em in toffee, put a stick in, and what have you got?

0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Another business venture? - Huge profit margin in this one.

0:31:01 > 0:31:02They're closing the building.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05They're tearing the whole place down.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Oh, there's been rumours for years, of course.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I...I just never thought...
0:31:12 > 0:31:14But why?

0:31:44 > 0:31:46I wonder.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Will I?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Where will you go?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Oh, er...St Mark's...in Mile End.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59When I was young, it used to be a workhouse.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01It's not right, Mr Collett.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05They can't make you leave your own home, can they?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Oh, now.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Don't bother so.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Don't cry over an old codger like myself.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17It's just a flat, dear.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24But the block won't be demolished immediately.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Why can't Mr Collett stay longer?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29At least until we find him somewhere better than an old workhouse.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Nurse Lee, the decision has been made.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34The buildings are being closed and the tenants evicted.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37The best you can do is help ease the transition for him.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42But it's not fair! His legs need constant attention. Who will look after him now?
0:32:43 > 0:32:48God once said to St Peter, "When you are young, you go where you wish.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56Is Fred about? The boiler's making all kinds of noises.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I don't believe he's currently on the premises.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03It sounds like someone's clattering about in there. I'm going to take a look.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00way back when I used to stay in the drying room at her nurses' home.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Nurse Lee! Quite the rebel, were you?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Um...I...
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Ah.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18which was just...as well!
0:36:18 > 0:36:22That's an awfully roomy cupboard. Were they sleeping standing up?

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Oh, no.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I don't think so.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13He's very handsome, isn't he?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I knew a young man that looked like that once.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19I think.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Young people have so much licence today.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34though I'm not sure Jenny would agree.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Sometimes I think she might be harbouring secret desires to join the order herself.
