Newborns are always beautiful. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
They cannot fail to make the heart sing, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
for even the plainest faces are alive with promise. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
But I have always seen beauty in old age too. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Light shines through the bone, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
exquisite even as it flickers, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
even as it flutters and dims towards the end. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |

Where is Sister Monica Joan? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |

TELEPHONE RINGS | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
No peace for the wicked. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Nonnatus House, midwife speaking. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Which one? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Well, it isn't your girlfriend! | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
Have you been up all night tormented by visions of her loveliness? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
No, I was on the beat and I came across something...rather untoward. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
Is Sister Julienne there? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Sister Julienne's away on retreat. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Sister Bernadette's in charge until she returns. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Sister. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
Sister! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Where did you find her? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
Down on the pier. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
The wind was wicked and she had nothing on her feet. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Oh, you poor thing. Run inside and make up a hot-water bottle. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
And some tea! | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
I have had tea and it was most acceptable. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
This, conversely, fails to impress. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
It smells somewhat of perspiration | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
and a great deal of regurgitated ale. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
She seems quite distracted. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Thank you so much for finding her. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
It's fine. I'm just worried... | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
Sister! | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
Jesus...washed the feet of the disciples. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
Yeah, I bet they weren't tramping all over Poplar, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
walking in dog muck and motor oil and worse. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
SHE SNORES LOUDLY | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
I don't like the sound of that. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
I'll ring for Dr Turner. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
SHE COUGHS | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
How did she get out dressed like that? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
We love Sister Monica Joan, Doctor, and do the best we can for her, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:34 | |
but it wouldn't be right to lock her in her room. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Besides, the truth is, we don't know | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
whether she has dementia or whether she's just wilfully eccentric. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
I understand. There are more medical treatises written about senile decay | 0:03:46 | 0:03:51 | |
than you can shake a stick at. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
But I keep to one invariable diagnostic rule, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
if they're brought back by a policeman in their nightie | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
then they've got it. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
For now, the pneumonia is the real concern. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
The old people's friend. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
If they are ready to go, it takes them gently. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
We could try penicillin, | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
but if she has any family, I think they should be sent for. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
She's been estranged from her family since she took her vows. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
The head of our order, Mother Jesu Emmanuel, is really her next of kin. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
I will call her at once. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
GROANING | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
I will not have rotting matter put into my veins. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
If you don't take this penicillin, you will be rotting matter! | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
I note I am getting the silver tongue treatment. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
Are you trying to summon up a fart? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
No, Sister, I am praying for strength. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
SHE COUGHS | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Everybody's asking how she is. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
And a lady called just now and left these roses. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
Mm, roses. There'll be roses on her coffin if she won't take the proper treatment. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
Mother Jesu, if she finds out, she'll be outraged. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
Mother Jesu is coming in love and very possibly to say goodbye. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:16 | |
We are not going to lose Sister Monica Joan. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
She is going to take that penicillin even if it kills us. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
I suppose you think I'm suffering a dark night of the soul, Mother Jesu? | 0:05:44 | 0:05:49 | |
A spiritual crisis? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
No, my dear, I think you are ill and in need of powerful drugs. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:58 | |
Your spirit seems rather robust to me. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
I miss my mother. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
I never thought I would when old age came to claim me... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
..for she tried me very sorely in my youth. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
I think it's cruel that I should miss her now. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
All this can be remedied. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
You are in for a treat, Sister. Penicillin's a wonder drug. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
Penicillin won't change the world. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
Nostradamus says nothing about it. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
And Nostradamus was an apothecary. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
# ...Was just for you | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
# My lover, I was wrong | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
# To try to love you | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
# Know well that my love | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
# Was just for you | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
# Only you... # | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
Nurse Browne, there is a letter for you. And one for Nurse Lee. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
Sister Monica Joan, you're back with us. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
The quadrants are in alignment, the Moon is in Venus. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
We are all of us exactly where we should be. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
It's from my mother. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
She's on her way to London from Madeira. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Better not tell Sister Monica Joan. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
She might think there's cake involved. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
Mater comes over twice a year to get her dresses fitted. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
And she wants to come to see me - here at Nonnatus House. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
How nice. Ask her for tea. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
We'll roll out the red carpet for her. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Why doesn't your mother meet you in the West End? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
You could go to Fortnum's and have some of their blissful scones. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Sounds like she wants a tour of inspection. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
I think she may have caught wind of the big romance. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Possibly. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Oh, all right. I added a PS to my last letter | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
and put, "Walking out with a chap." Then, in brackets, "in uniform". | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-You tease! -One couldn't resist. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
It's the news she's wanted all her life. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
Oh, I forgot, letter for you. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
"Dear Jenny... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
"Why did I choose to telephone that day? | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
"That one day of all the days since we last met. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
"Why not telephone you, when we made each other happy? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
"We were nothing but careful, Jenny. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
"But we broke two hearts for the sake of saving one. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
"This has been such a long silence, don't let it last for ever. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
"I would so like to see you. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
"With love, Gerald." | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
That's better. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Catherine Powell. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
My back's been killing me. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
I hate to say it, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
but I think flat shoes might be a little more comfortable. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
No, heels are my trademark. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
First thing my fella noticed about me when we first met was my pink stilettos. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
Well, that and my legs, presumably. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
This is your first visit. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
And your doctor seems to be in...Hull. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
Yeah, I only came to London yesterday. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
My fella, he's a bit of a dozy drawers when it comes to writing letters | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
so I thought I'd just come here and give him a surprise. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
And did you? Well, he wasn't there. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Away at sea, I reckon. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
No. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
No wedding ring yet, but I'm sure that'll change when he comes home. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
And where are you staying now? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
At his place. I let myself in. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
Is this going to take long? I don't want to be away if he comes home. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Not long. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
We do need to go through all your details and get you properly booked in. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
We like to do a home visit before the baby's due. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
Check your living conditions. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
What for? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:30 | |
Home delivery. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
I'd also like to examine you as well | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
and I'd also make sure you've got your dates right. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
I'm seven months, two weeks on the dot. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Looking at you, I think you may be a little further on. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
No, I met Billy on my birthday, my birthday was seven months, | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
two weeks ago. I'm sorry but I don't really have much time. COMMOTION OUTSIDE CURTAIN | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
-Stand back, get some air! -Jenny, can you spare a moment? We've got a fainter. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
I'll be back in one minute. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
That's good, just lie down. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
All right. Just keep breathing. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
In through your nose, out through your mouth. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
Childbearing, | 0:12:15 | 0:12:16 | |
you have to have the stamina of an athlete. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
Here, Nurse, can you make her better? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
I'll get some water. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Sister... | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
Oh, I heard you was poorly. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
Oh, I'm that glad to see you out and about again. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
Can I tempt you to a bit of fruit today? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
On the house, you take your pick. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
How very kind. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Oh... | 0:12:57 | 0:12:58 | |
I will not suffer my pale forehead to be kissed by nightshade. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
Or the ruby grape of Proserpine. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
I'll have a pound of those pears. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
My pleasure. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:12 | |
All Saints' Crypt, May Blitz, 1941. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
A girl, born as they sounded the all-clear. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
You remember! | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
Yes. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
If you could deliver those to Nonnatus House, I'd be much obliged. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
Madam's usual. A quart of whelks. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
Terrific. I can smell the vinegar from here. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-Can't tempt you to a bit of jellied eel? -No, ta. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
It's far too much like salmon in aspic. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
I had quite enough of that in my debutante days. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
We'll have to bring your mum here. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
Over my supine corpse! | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Tea in the best cups, with the nuns, and that's the lot. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
I'm looking forward to it. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
I'm not. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
You met my parents, we came through that. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Is the dog's paw better? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
He gets under people's feet. It wasn't your fault. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
Mater's coming on Wednesday. You'll have to ask for time off, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
and you're working towards your promotion. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
I want to meet your mother, Camilla. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
I love you, and I want her to know it. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
You've never said that before. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
It doesn't mean I haven't been thinking it. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
We're in uniform. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
Well, who's looking? | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
The man on the whelk stall. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:50 | |
# Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
# Boom, what you do to me | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
# It's so new to me | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
# What you do to me | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
# Hot diggity, dog ziggity | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
# Boom, what you do to me | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
# When you're holding me tight | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
# Never dreamed anybody could kiss thattaway | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
# Bring me bliss thattaway | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
# What a kiss thattaway | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
# What a wonderful feelin' to feel thattaway | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
# Tell me where have you been all my life | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
# Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
# Boom, what you do to me | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
# It's so new to me... # | 0:15:27 | 0:15:28 | |
You want to put a glace cherry on those or they won't look finished off. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
No, no, glace cherries are vulgar. Fred, please. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
What on earth are you doing? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
You can't put cream in the meringues and leave them standing. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Mrs B left me the component parts. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
I offered to help with the assembly but I was spurned. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
I'll finish them. Take the sandwiches in and go and sit with Peter. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
-Is he here already? -Yes, I let him in. -How does he look? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Calmer than you. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
-PANICKY: -I'm completely calm. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Hello, Mater. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Camilla, dear. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
I believe you've recently retired to Madeira, | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Lady Fortescue-Cholmondely-Browne. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
No need to stand on ceremony, Sister. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
Lady Browne will do. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
You must enjoy the sunshine, after living in India. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
I give the weather six out of ten. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Of course, the administration is Portuguese | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
which Sir Rex and I find rather trying. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
Sandwich, Mother? They're salmon. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
Smoked? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:10 | |
-Tinned. -No. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
I was under the impression that you were in the forces. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Camilla now tells me that you are, in fact, a police constable. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:24 | |
Yes. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
He's sitting his sergeant exams next year. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Constable Noakes was recently telling me | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
that he has to study every single aspect of the law, | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
from traffic offences to crimes against the person. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
I've been studying the Betting and Gambling Act, | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
the Licensing Act, | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
and the Prostitution Act. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
One hopes the theory is more savoury than the practice. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
Whatever is this made of? | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
It's Crimplene. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
This isn't good enough. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
I only wear it for church. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
I don't mean the skirt suit, and you know it. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
What pleasure does this give you? | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
You sent me to Roedean. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Our motto was "Honour the Worthy". | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
When I deliver babies, that's what I do. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
Whom exactly do you define as worthy, Camilla? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
Those people out there? | 0:18:30 | 0:18:31 | |
That policeman downstairs? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
There's an entire dismantled empire needing its worthy honoured. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
Africa, Malaya, | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
India's a nightmare. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:42 | |
I'd sooner you were a missionary than lived like this | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
and walked out with a man like that. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
Because at least our friends would comprehend it when we told them. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
You'd be a spinster but... | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
..you'd be doing good works. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
And wouldn't be wearing Crimplene. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
-I've been talking to my mother. -It wasn't all bad. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
Peter, it was diabolical. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
I was courting a girl once, Enid, fancied her chances as a mannequin. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
One day, when we were on the bus, | 0:19:15 | 0:19:16 | |
she said to me, "Do you like what I've done with my eyebrows?" | 0:19:16 | 0:19:20 | |
-Peter... -That was it. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
I packed her in. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
The day I fell for you, I saw you cycling up Leyland Street | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
at six o'clock in the morning. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
You looked all in, dead beat. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
Don't tease. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
I'm not teasing. You don't half make it hard for a chap | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
-to show his feelings. -Maybe I don't want you to. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
I've been turning it over and over in my mind for weeks. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Should I say, should I ask, should I go down on my knees and beg you? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
What do you mean, on your knees? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
On one knee. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
I don't want you to say it at all. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
Why? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
Because you're making me feel uncomfortable. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-Why? -Because I've hardly ever felt comfortable anywhere. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
And when I have, it's been with you. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
SNIFFS | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
It has been the most extraordinary thing. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
I felt small. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:10 | |
And in my proper place and not at risk of breaking anything precious. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:16 | |
But now, all of a sudden, I don't feel that any more. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
I think it's best for both of us if we put a stop to this. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
Goodbye, Peter. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
It was all rather splendid. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
She's packed him in. I knew something was up. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
But why? It's her wretched mother's influence. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
That tea party was a horrible thing to witness. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
Chummy just crumbled in front of her. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
You know, Cynthia, some people do care what their parents think. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
Darling, she's a grown woman, not a schoolgirl. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
I don't mind her caring. I mind her being cowed | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
and running away from a thing that makes her happy. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |

WOMAN: Hello. Silsden 359... | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
Hello? | 0:22:06 | 0:22:07 | |
I'm sorry, I have the wrong number. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
Oi! You in the penguin dress! | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
A simple "excuse me" would suffice. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
And you can give me back that spoon you've got stashed inside your pinafore. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Pinafore? I am clad in no such garment. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Must be the first time you've been down here without half-inching something. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
You really are extremely boorish individuals. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
And you are a thieving old God-botherer! | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
SHOCKED GASPS | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
What remarkable sleight of hand. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
LAUGHS | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Thank you. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:06 | |
I've had enough of this. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
This wasn't an isolated incident. The costermonger, Mr Sidney Crumb, | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
known as Cakey to his intimates, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
joined forces with several other tradesmen with the same complaint. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
They came to my desk in the form of a deputation. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
They all believe that Sister Monica Rose is... | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
Joan, sir. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Sister Monica Joan. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
...is known to them as, and I quote, "light-fingered", | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
and has a habit of stealing small items from their stalls. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:46 | |
That is a serious accusation, Sergeant. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
It will have to be proved or disproved. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
I will escort you upstairs. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
Nurse Lee, will you remain here with Sister Monica Joan? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
Of course. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:05 | |
You may search her room for stolen goods. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:10 | |
That is, of course, if Sister Monica Joan is agreeable. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Have you anything to say to the sergeant, Sister? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:18 | |
Yes. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Pooh to you. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
Five pairs of fully fashioned nylon stockings, | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
three egg cups, one corkscrew, a whistle, 11 teaspoons, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
a hairpiece - which was blonde - a china robin, a box of gents' handkerchiefs, | 0:24:35 | 0:24:40 | |
several coloured ribbons, | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
an eau-de-nil suspender belt, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
a pipe rack and a box of Steradent tablets... | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
As you are probably aware, Sister Monica Jones doesn't wear dentures. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
I am afraid that she has been stealing for quite some time. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
It's her age, she doesn't know what she's doing. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
She's wily as a fox and always has been. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
It's the police that's deluded if they think she's done it deliberate. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
She's away with the fairies half the time. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
And half the time she is as sane as you or I. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Dr Turner will vouch for her mental health - | 0:25:14 | 0:25:18 | |
or lack of it - when she appears in court. If he can't win them over, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
the law must take its course. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
'The case was referred to the London Quarter Sessions. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
'We hoped against hope that the thefts were so small | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
'the case would be thrown out of court.' | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
'The suspect wandered at will. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
'The focus of her mind seemed to ripple and shift - | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
'to change as unpredictably as weather.' | 0:25:55 | 0:25:59 | |

Jenny? | 0:26:56 | 0:26:57 | |
This is Nurse Lee, yes. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
You telephoned me. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
My darling, darling girl. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
I shouldn't have. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
You're still married. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
I'm always going to be still married. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
I know. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
If you want to see me, will you write? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:30 | |
Yes. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:34 | |
Nurse Lee. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |

Will you join us for handicrafts? | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
KNOCKING | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
Enter and state your purpose. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
Sister Julienne asked you to recreation. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
She thought you might like to bring down your gollies. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
I have suspended all involvement with my gollies. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:12 | |
I have esoteric matters to investigate. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
These bands are the parallels wherein men and angels... | 0:28:15 | 0:28:20 | |
..and beasts, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:26 | |
and others... | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
You do well not to mock me, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
for I know it makes no sense. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
Sister. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
I'm going to get you a handkerchief and you're going to dry your eyes. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:44 | |
My handkerchiefs were all given to the police! | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
Sister Julienne took them away. She took everything! | 0:28:48 | 0:28:55 | |
Including my ribbons. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
SHE WAILS | 0:29:00 | 0:29:01 | |
And my china robin! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
And I needed...all of them! | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:29:06 | 0:29:08 | |
Sister Monica Joan... | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
Close that drawer! You have no business clawing through my things! | 0:29:11 | 0:29:16 | |
These are not your things. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
Have you no secrets? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:21 | |
Have you nothing precious you might like to conceal? | 0:29:21 | 0:29:24 | |
I'm not under investigation by the police. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:28 | |
You could end up in prison. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
These are valuable jewels, | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
and Sister Julienne was pinning all hope | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
on the fact that the things you stole were just cheap rubbish. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:39 | |
Why do I do it? | 0:29:39 | 0:29:42 | |
Is the devil tempting me? | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
Or am I ill? | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
SHE SIGHS | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
I don't know. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
I used to know so much, and now I don't even know myself. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:59 | |
Or what I will do next. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
-NURSE LEE: -She must be moving things about, secreting them in different places. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:56 | |
I just thought if I could take the necklace and the ring and the bangle, | 0:30:56 | 0:31:03 | |
I could hide them from somebody so nobody would ever find them. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:08 | |
I still would, if I knew where they were. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
You'd be making yourself into an accessory! | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
Why on earth does this sherry taste of toothpaste? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |

Oh, look! I'm in jail. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Hello, Sister Monica Joan. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
It's not funny, Trixie! | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
These weren't just knick-knacks from the market. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
There was a pearl necklace, a ring, an exquisite bracelet. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
Sly old vixen! She must've been plying her trade in Hatton Gardens. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:42 | |
She has come home in a taxi at least once. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
I saw Sister Bernadette pay out of the petty cash. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:51 | |
Cynthia, you're sloshed. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
Have some bread pudding. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
I just care for her, that's all. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
Do you know something, Jenny? We all care about Sister Monica Joan, | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
and she's up to her armpits in bother. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
She doesn't need you making things any worse | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
by saying that you might have seen some loot in her room | 0:32:08 | 0:32:11 | |
or that she might have hidden it, | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
or that you might just have been seeing things all along. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
Are you saying I should lie? | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
I'm saying you should keep your mouth shut. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
I saw Constable Noakes when I was cycling past the banana sheds. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:38 | |
Do you know, his face was as long as a fiddle. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
All bobbies are romantics at heart. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:44 | |
It's what lures them into the force in the first place. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
Can we please not embark on another discussion of Nurse Browne's private life? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:50 | |
Would you rather we talked about something else? | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
I'd rather everyone concentrated on their handicrafts. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
It seems we're all on edge. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
And the reason for that, of course, is entirely obvious. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:05 | |

I need some red wool to mend it. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Sister Monica Joan? | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
Would you be so kind as to pass me your knitting bag? | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
I'm casting on. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
Oof! | 0:33:47 | 0:33:48 | |
I haven't the faintest notion where those came from. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
BELL RINGS AGAIN | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
Can we move on now, please, Constable? | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
Yes, sir. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
Those jewels are worth thousands of pounds. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
She cannot vouch for where they came from, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
and the police are checking thefts all over London. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
I was afraid they would. That's why I didn't tell you. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
How long have you known? | 0:35:02 | 0:35:03 | |
Three days. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
You could've faced charges! | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
You could've faced the end of your nursing career. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
I know. I did it because... | 0:35:13 | 0:35:14 | |
Don't you dare say you love her. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
Deceit compounds deceit, Nurse Lee. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
You have just made matters considerably worse | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
and love is no excuse. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
Dragged over coals? | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
Completely. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
You really do have a soft spot for the old bat, don't you? | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
Sister Monica Joan... | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
I admire her... | 0:36:01 | 0:36:03 | |
and she's lonely. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
It's a lonely life. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
Or at least, a peaceful one. Rules and all that. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
So many roads one doesn't have to go down. | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
Chummy, you aren't thinking of taking holy orders? | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
It has presented itself as a solution. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
It wouldn't be a solution, it would be a hiding place. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
I came here to hide from a love affair... | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
..from my feelings for a man I couldn't have... | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
..and I haven't escaped anything at all. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
Here. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:49 | |
Magic hanky. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
May not work. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
Didn't work on me. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:55 | |
You can have Peter, Chummy. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
There's nothing and nobody standing in your way. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
Yes, there is. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
The defendant, Miss Antonia Cavill, known as Sister Monica Joan | 0:37:21 | 0:37:26 | |
of the order of St Raymond Nonnatus, has been accused of theft. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:30 | |
This bench is unanimously agreed that, given the witness statements, | 0:37:30 | 0:37:35 | |
there is a prima facie case for the accused to answer. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:40 | |
You may proceed. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
Dr Turner, as the defendant's general practitioner, | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
what is your opinion of her state of health? | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
Well, she is certainly not as robust as she was. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
Fiddlesticks! I saw pneumonia off flat in five days! | 0:37:53 | 0:37:57 | |
He's not talking to you. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
Is this true, Doctor? | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
She did respond extremely well to penicillin. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
But, mentally, she has been frail for many months. | 0:38:03 | 0:38:07 | |
Balderdash! | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
What this court needs to ascertain, sir, is would the doctor | 0:38:09 | 0:38:14 | |
have prescribed penicillin if I, the patient, were mentally infirm? | 0:38:14 | 0:38:20 | |
Indeed, would he have prescribed penicillin | 0:38:20 | 0:38:24 | |
had he thought recovery would enable me to go out thieving? | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
With respect, madam, Dr Turner is not charged with curing you of pneumonia. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:33 | |
You are charged with larceny, specifically a sapphire ring, | 0:38:33 | 0:38:37 | |
a pearl necklace and a diamond bracelet. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:40 | |
You said prima facie before. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
You must be precise, my man, and not confuse your terms. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:46 | |
If I may interject, Sister. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:47 | |
Who is this person? | 0:38:47 | 0:38:49 | |
He is your barrister, Mr Briggs. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
He's not very good. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
Doctor, in your opinion, | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
does the defendant understand the charges brought against her? | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
No. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
I don't believe she does. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
I wish to make a statement. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
Sit down and wait your turn! | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
-Order in court. -We're waiting our turn, and we're the aggrieved! | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
Sister... | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
let Mr Briggs speak for you. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
None should presume to speak for another. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
All judgement comes from God. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
MUTTERING | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
And we will all stand naked and alone before his throne. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
Sister Monica Joan, | 0:39:36 | 0:39:38 | |
do you understand the nature of the charges brought against you? | 0:39:38 | 0:39:42 | |
I thank you for your enquiry, sir. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:46 | |
Yes, I do. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
The court will adjourn until the morning. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
These are fresh from the laundry, Sister. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
Good. Can't have her in court with custard on her scapular. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:03 | |
The curse of a mind like mine is that, sometimes, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
the fragments recompose themselves, | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
rather like a shattered looking glass | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
that has been made whole. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
Horlicks and bed. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:15 | |
I am fed up with all this "round and round the gasworks". | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
I know now from whence the jewels came. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:22 | |
It had nothing to do with the gasworks. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
You must speak to Mother Jesu and you must do so soon. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:30 | |
TELEPHONE RINGS | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
I'll get it. I'm on first call. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
Do be quick! | 0:40:34 | 0:40:35 | |
Nonnatus House, midwife speaking. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
-WOMAN: -Hello? Er, I think it's my time. I don't know what to do. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
What's the name, please? | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
Cathy, Cathy Powell. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:46 | |
SHE MOANS IN PAIN | 0:40:46 | 0:40:47 | |
Mrs Powell? Cathy? Is there anyone with you? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:52 | |
Oh, ohhh! | 0:40:52 | 0:40:53 | |
I have a Catherine Powell here but no home address and the GP's in Hull. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
Ohhh! | 0:40:58 | 0:40:59 | |
Yes, that's me. Batten Buildings, it's, er, second landing. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
There's a number five painted on the door. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
Cathy, listen to me. Go back home and I'll be with you in... | 0:41:09 | 0:41:13 | |
less than 15 minutes. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:14 | |
Please, can you hurry up? | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Oh! | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
-Better grab a delivery pack. All yours. -Thanks. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
Ah! Ah! | 0:41:34 | 0:41:35 | |
Oh! Oh! | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:41:40 | 0:41:41 | |
Oh, no! | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
SHE WAILS AND GROANS | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
There's no answer. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
I feared there wouldn't be, now the silence has begun. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
So we will have to go to Chichester and be there by dawn | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
-to speak to Mother Jesu. -She is our final hope. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
I'm about to start praying for a car. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
I can get us a car. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:04 | |
SIRENS WAIL IN DISTANCE | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
Whoa! Oi! | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
Oh, no! The delivery pack! Bally bugger it! | 0:42:19 | 0:42:23 | |
MOANS | 0:42:25 | 0:42:26 | |
Ohh! Ahhh! | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
Cathy? | 0:42:31 | 0:42:32 | |
I always keep my promises. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
It's got the name of a lewd book written on its bonnet. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
Mother Jesu won't notice once we're inside. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
I've got three-quarters of a tank of petrol, | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
so that should get us all the way. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Jimmy, we are in your debt. | 0:42:58 | 0:42:59 | |
I'd do anything for Jenny, Sister. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
Do you need a chaperone? | 0:43:02 | 0:43:05 | |
We'll be quite safe, won't we, Jimmy? | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
Waste no time. The court sits at nine in the morning. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
-CATHY: -Ah, help! | 0:43:19 | 0:43:22 | |
WATER SPLASHES | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
Oh, I think I've wet myself! | 0:43:26 | 0:43:27 | |
-Don't fret, that's just your waters breaking. -Oh! | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS REPEATEDLY | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
Oh... Having no luck with the light switch. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:39 | |
The leccy's off. I think it's off in the whole block. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:44 | |
There's some candles on the chest of drawers. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
Excellent. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:49 | |
Now, slip yourself out of those wet drawers, | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
lie down on your back, legs apart, | 0:43:54 | 0:43:57 | |
knees propping upwards and outwards. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
Looks like you've been caught slightly on the hop. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
Not quite ready for baby, perhaps. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
Sorry, it must feel rather strange. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
Not that strange. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
How'd you think I ended up like this? | 0:44:19 | 0:44:21 | |
THEY BOTH LAUGH | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
Now, I'm going to examine you and then pop down the road | 0:44:24 | 0:44:29 | |
to use the telephone. I think we might treat you to an ambulance. | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
SHE GROANS AND SCREAMS | 0:44:32 | 0:44:33 | |
I've got to get it out! | 0:44:33 | 0:44:35 | |
Oh! | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
I've changed my mind. We're staying right here. | 0:44:39 | 0:44:43 | |
-Do you have a cot or any blankets for the baby? -No! | 0:44:43 | 0:44:47 | |
-Have you any hot water? -No! | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
-Any cold? -No! No! | 0:44:50 | 0:44:52 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:44:52 | 0:44:53 | |
Not to worry. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:54 | |
SHE MOANS | 0:44:54 | 0:44:57 | |
Now, pant for the head. | 0:44:57 | 0:44:59 | |
Pant, pant, pant. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:02 | |
PANTS | 0:45:02 | 0:45:03 | |
-Ooh! -Top notch. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:06 | |
The head's out. | 0:45:08 | 0:45:09 | |
After your next contraction, the baby will be born. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
I'll put ten bob on it being a whopper. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
All right. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:17 | |
That's it. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:20 | |
That's it! | 0:45:22 | 0:45:24 | |
BABY GURGLES | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |

BABY CRIES | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
Good job I'm not a betting woman. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:46 | |
He's a dainty little thing. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:48 | |
CRYING CONTINUES | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
His dad, Billy, he was... | 0:45:55 | 0:45:57 | |
He had shoulders on him like I've never seen. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:00 | |
Docker? | 0:46:00 | 0:46:02 | |
Sailor. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
He made me feel small in his arms, like I was always meant to be there. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:11 | |
He had lips like these. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:16 | |
Oh! | 0:46:18 | 0:46:20 | |
What are you doing? | 0:46:20 | 0:46:22 | |
Just waiting for the afterbirth. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:24 | |
It's a grisly business, leave it to me. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:26 | |
Ow... Ow! Is it supposed to hurt?! | 0:46:28 | 0:46:32 | |
Not this much. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:33 | |
Ah! Oh! | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
It's another baby. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:36 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:46:36 | 0:46:38 | |
Every window and door is closed. Drawbridge completely pulled up. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:45 | |
Bit like us, really. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
Well, at least, like you. | 0:46:53 | 0:46:56 | |
Jimmy... | 0:46:56 | 0:46:58 | |
..you've driven all this way! | 0:46:59 | 0:47:01 | |
You've been so kind. | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
I'd never be unkind. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:07 | |
What would be the point in that? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
-SHE PANTS AND MOANS -That's it! | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
Well done! Well done! | 0:47:24 | 0:47:27 | |
Congratulations, it's another little boy, just like the first. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
-Twins. -Not unheard of. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |

Is that the last candle? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
No need to fret. It'll be all right. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |

Oh, it hurts, it really... It hurts! | 0:48:31 | 0:48:35 | |
It's just the afterbirth giving itself its marching orders. | 0:48:35 | 0:48:38 | |
Now, there may be one or two, according to | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
whether or not the babies are identical. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:43 | |

Just breathe, just breathe... | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
I'm dying, I can't do it! | 0:49:06 | 0:49:07 | |
No, we're not. We can do this. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |

Well done! Well done! | 0:49:27 | 0:49:29 | |
It's another boy! | 0:49:35 | 0:49:37 | |
I've got nothing to wrap him in. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:41 | |
We'll just have to make do and mend. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:44 | |
BABIES GURGLE | 0:49:45 | 0:49:47 | |
I had the happiest night of my life with Billy. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:55 | |
I never had enough of anything when I was growing up, but... | 0:49:57 | 0:50:00 | |
with him, it was as if my life was spilling out of the cup. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:05 | |
I grabbed love with both hands. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
I had a chance. I took it. | 0:50:10 | 0:50:13 | |
It was the best and bravest thing I ever did. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:16 | |
He gave me these. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
I'm never letting them go. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
BABIES GURGLE AND CRY | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
I'm sorry I hurt you, Jimmy. | 0:50:45 | 0:50:48 | |
You can survive hurt. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
I hope so. | 0:50:54 | 0:50:55 | |
-Well done. -Thank you. -You deserve a good rest. | 0:51:07 | 0:51:10 | |
I'm turning myself in. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
I'm guilty of criminal cowardice | 0:51:29 | 0:51:32 | |
and robbing two people of something | 0:51:32 | 0:51:34 | |
that would make them both very happy. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:36 | |
I've decided it's time to be brave. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
-I see. -I hope so. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:45 | |
Because underneath this raincoat, I am practically naked. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:54 | |
I love you. | 0:52:05 | 0:52:07 | |
BELL TOLLS | 0:52:10 | 0:52:13 | |
The court will now rise. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
Sister, stand up. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
Father Joseph, hurry! It's ten past nine already. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:30 | |
When a sister takes her final vows, | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
all her property is given to the Order. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:38 | |
In some Orders, this is irrevocable, but not in ours. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:42 | |
We merely hold the property in trust throughout a sister's lifetime, | 0:52:42 | 0:52:46 | |
or for as long as she remains with us. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:48 | |
Sister Monica Joan took her final vows in 1904. | 0:52:48 | 0:52:52 | |
There was something... | 0:52:52 | 0:52:54 | |
unusual about the property of the accused, was there not? | 0:52:54 | 0:52:58 | |
Sister Monica Joan arrived penniless. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
She had apparently defied her family's wishes | 0:53:00 | 0:53:04 | |
and was estranged from them, but her mother, | 0:53:04 | 0:53:06 | |
who had been mentally unstable, left Sister Monica Joan a legacy | 0:53:06 | 0:53:11 | |
and it passed into the Order's hands in 1927. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:14 | |
And would you like to tell the court what that legacy was? | 0:53:14 | 0:53:19 | |
One sapphire ring, one necklace of pearls, | 0:53:19 | 0:53:23 | |
one diamond bracelet. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
They were all put in our bank and forgotten about - | 0:53:26 | 0:53:30 | |
even, I believe, by Sister Monica Joan. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
And can you describe how they came to be in her possession? | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
I gave them to her, | 0:53:39 | 0:53:41 | |
not as objects of monetary value | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |

Sometimes, in extremis, our past trials rise | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
and cause us pain. | 0:53:52 | 0:53:55 | |
I am a nurse and a midwife, I will always seek to ease distress. | 0:53:55 | 0:54:00 | |
Hear, hear. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:01 | |
Why don't you just shut up and keep knitting? | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
Order in court. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:06 | |
I thought she would recall my visit | 0:54:06 | 0:54:08 | |
and that the jewels would be meaningful to her. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:12 | |
I am sad that they came too late to be of solace. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
It seems that her fragility was such that she did not recognise them, | 0:54:14 | 0:54:18 | |
just as she did not recognise her petty thefts. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:21 | |
Thank you. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:25 | |
Your Honour, I rest my case. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
Oh! Come on, come on! No dawdling! | 0:54:40 | 0:54:44 | |

Nonnatus House, mid... | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
Hello, Lady Browne. | 0:55:45 | 0:55:47 | |
Chummy... | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
What-ho, Mater! | 0:55:57 | 0:55:58 | |
I've spoken to the Bishop. | 0:55:58 | 0:56:00 | |
And St Margaret's, Westminster is still a possibility. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:03 | |
No, it isn't. I booked All Saints' Church up the road. | 0:56:03 | 0:56:06 | |
But you can't. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:07 | |
It's nowhere near a suitable reception venue. | 0:56:07 | 0:56:11 | |
Mother, it's right next door to the parish hall. | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
We're going to have the party there. | 0:56:14 | 0:56:16 | |
Camilla... | 0:56:16 | 0:56:18 | |
And you needn't advise me about the catering. | 0:56:18 | 0:56:20 | |
I've asked the nuns to organise the buffet. Sandwiches and trifle. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:24 | |
In which case, | 0:56:24 | 0:56:25 | |
will you at least let me take you to Norman Hartnell | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
and buy you a wedding gown? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:30 | |
You can take me to Norman Hartnell, | 0:56:30 | 0:56:33 | |
and buy me a skirt suit. Preferably Crimplene. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:37 | |
As you wish. As long as it's white. | 0:56:37 | 0:56:40 | |
Sorry... | 0:56:42 | 0:56:43 | |
No longer entitled. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:46 | |
