0:00:30 > 0:00:32- MATURE JENNY:- 'The River Thames
0:00:32 > 0:00:35'pulsed through the heart of the East End like its blood,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37'sustaining its people
0:00:37 > 0:00:40'and taking with it much they had thrown away or lost.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'For some, it marked beginning of a journey.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'For others, it became a channel of return,
0:00:48 > 0:00:52'bringing back the missing and the loved,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56'the forgotten, and the longed for.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03'It was often an escape route and sometimes the road home.'
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Oi, you've got enough there to feed an army, Mrs Lacey!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09That's right, see you Thursday.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10MAN: What d'you say?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I think you've got yourself a deal, my son!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Good. Enjoy it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16I will.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- It's all yours.- Lovely.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Arthur, look at that. What d'you reckon, hey?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Speedy Gonzalez here, look!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I'm wondering what to do about my room.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Fresh flowers and new curtains?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I mean with Nurse Noakes and her husband coming to stay.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It's only right Chummy should have her old room back.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Chummy wouldn't dream of it. That's your room now.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I think Fred's clearing out another room, anyway.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And they might be with us for a while before they're rehoused.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Their whole block was condemned.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Jane?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01What is it?
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I suppose I was here to fill a gap, really, and, well,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07that gap was Nurse Noakes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11So, I'm wondering what I do now there won't be a gap.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Jane, you're part of Nonnatus. In your own right,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16not filling a gap.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Quite impossible, anyway, as you'll see when she arrives next week.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Though to be quite blunt, her grasp of timing is a little loose.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37And we pray for the continued recovery of Sister Bernadette.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- May the Lord keep her safe. Amen. - Amen.- Amen.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Come on, push. Good boys.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Up we go.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Ladies, your carriage awaits.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Courtesy of our successful fete
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and the generous contribution from the Mother House.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18A Bumblebee for a staff vehicle.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I've had my eye on a weekend in Southend for months.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I don't believe we cover Southend.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The new addition is for the carrying of gas and air.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30And we may also appreciate the lack of pedalling in the years to come.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Speak for yourself. In your own time, Nurse Miller.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Chocks away then!- No, no, no, no.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38This machine is to be treated with the greatest respect.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Set off on this unprepared
0:03:40 > 0:03:44and unschooled in its mechanical workings - disaster.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Thank you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46HORN TOOTS
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Don't do that.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51PHONE RINGS
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Nonnatus House.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07'It's my Rose. She's having it. She's having it now.'
0:04:07 > 0:04:11A flower was offered to me,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14such a flower as May never more.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17But I said, "I have a pretty rose tree."
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23'What the hell?' SHE GIGGLES
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Dear fellow, do not take fright at poetry.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Let us start with a name and address.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33'My wife. Mrs Laidlaw.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36'We're at ten Dublin Lane off Pollard Road.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37'That's ten...'
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Sister Monica Joan, was that the telephone I just heard?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Child, how can I possibly interpret the working of your ears?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Mrs Laidlaw. Ten Dublin Lane. Right on time.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57I have to say, your note-taking is quite exceptional.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Do remember, the telephone should only be answered
0:05:00 > 0:05:03by midwives on call. It may confuse matters otherwise.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07If matters are so easily confused...
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I could murder a bit of steak and kidney.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Mr John Lacey among you?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Bring me a beer. Useless wretch!
0:05:36 > 0:05:37That's the gentleman.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- "Gentleman", you say? - Out the back.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43But John, the sister's coming.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45What bloody sister?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Who the hell are you?
0:05:49 > 0:05:50The bloody sister!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53The doctor ain't got the guts to tell me, eh?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Sends you? Go on then, say it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I'm dying, ain't I?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You've got diabetes, I'm here to test your pee.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Lame or on the game -
0:06:03 > 0:06:05only ones who should still be in bed this time of day.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07But I'm on the way out.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09You are no nearer dying than I am.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Now, I want you to take this, and fill it up.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15For pity's sake, don't let that blanket slip.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh! Pick it up. Come on, woman!
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- Sylvie Bailey, I have told you to lay off my fags.- Ow!
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Now sit down.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39They say girls are easier, but you try me
0:06:39 > 0:06:41more than your brothers ever did.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55That coloured woman bothering you again, Sylvie?
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Mrs Monique Hyde?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12If you would go through, please.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Very high sugar levels, Sister. 1.5%.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30No more pies. And no more beer.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You've been told to give up pastry, sugar and potatoes,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35but you ignored it. Now look where we are!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Sky high sugar and injections.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Injections? - Insulin. Twice a day.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42No, no, no, no. You don't take old John down that way.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'll fight anyone who tries. You tell 'er!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47He won't take the needle, Sister. Hates 'em.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53HE SHRIEKS
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You can expect Nurse Miller every day, twice a day.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'd like to give your husband a good talking to.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Moving house would be bad enough,
0:08:10 > 0:08:14moving the other side of the world when you're 35 weeks pregnant!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18The world seems much smaller when you've been in the Air Force.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19He flew in the war?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24And longed to get back to the mother country ever since.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Made me believe Vera Lynn would meet me at Dover.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I must have just missed her.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32If it's any consolation, the Pearly Kings and Queens
0:08:32 > 0:08:34didn't meet me in Poplar either.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Is your husband still in the airforce?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40They wouldn't take him back after the war.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43They said his eyesight was not good enough.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Though my Harold says it's no different.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50He's got a position at the docks.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52They're not easy to come by.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55We're very lucky.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59For a home delivery we shall want to see you at home,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02make sure everything's as it should be for baby.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06You're very kind, but I shall come to you when my time comes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'd like to see you try. It's our standard procedure.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13< Sylvie Bailey, SIT DOWN. Sit down before I wallop ya!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16One thing about my neighbour...
0:09:17 > 0:09:21..we always know exactly how she feels, about everything.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oh, yes, of course, Mrs Bailey lives next door to you.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Rumour has it she has a heart of gold.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Though we'll probably need a postmortem to prove it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42When are we going to get to take her for a spin?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's not a toy. In the wrong hands, it's a weapon.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47My hairdryer has more power.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51And if they were that dangerous they wouldn't let the Italians ride them.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oi, don't knock the Italians - they gave us Sophia Loren.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Hello, international nun of mystery.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I've figured it out - you're on the run.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You did a number in Geneva, escaped with the proceeds,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25the habit's a disguise, TB - pure cover story. Jane Bond.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Or you have absolutely no curiosity,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and that's why you never open your mail.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Oh, and if you happen to be praying today,
0:10:39 > 0:10:40be a brick and say one for me.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I put a lethal amount of gin away at the weekend
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and behaved badly with a man I feel utterly immoral about.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50There are souls in want of saving quicker than your own, Nurse Peters.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Take it from me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Swap you my demonstration of nappies for one of those?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Oh, no dice, I'm afraid.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Sister Bernadette used to do this in seconds. Takes me forever.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Any news of Sister Bernadette?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Food's plentiful, conversation fair to middling, health much the same.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21She may not be Jane Austen quite yet but her letters are regular...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24though lacking in gossip of any kind.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Hopefully I'll get the low-down when I visit her tomorrow.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well, that's all ticketyboo and marvellous.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Oh, do give her my regards.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35CUTLERY CLATTERS
0:11:40 > 0:11:42"Ticketyboo"?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Mrs Lacey, tell me that's not a pie for your husband?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's hard not to do as he wants.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51He's ill.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Controlling his diet is a very large part of managing his condition.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Sorry, Miss. Sorry.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00JOHN SHOUTS ANGRILY
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Doing what he wants isn't the same as doing what's best.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07You being stronger - it will help him, Mrs Lacey.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Do you understand?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09- JOHN:- Come on, woman!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Where have you put my paper?!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Then it's out the way... where it can't do no harm.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- You take it when you go.- Thank you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Mmmmm... it's delicious.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38And thoroughly unforgiving on the hips.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Poor Mrs Lacey. She puts all her love into the pies -
0:12:41 > 0:12:43her husband certainly doesn't want it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45He sounds like a beast.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Thank God you're looking after him, Cynthia.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I think I'd feed him pies to help him pop his clogs.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Like all bullies though, the minute you say boo to him he'll crumble.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56I just wish I could help Mrs Lacey to say boo.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Boo.- Boo!
0:12:58 > 0:12:59LAUGHTER
0:12:59 > 0:13:04There, see? We'll give her lessons. No man will ever bully us.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11HE MIMICS MOTORBIKE REVVING
0:13:13 > 0:13:15What on earth are you doing?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Er, I've just, er...
0:13:18 > 0:13:21..fitted the rack for the gas and air, and I had to check the tyres
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and the suspension.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26These things are a death trap really if they're not maintained properly.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Well, if the Blitz and the Great Smog didn't polish us off
0:13:28 > 0:13:30I think we might survive it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Oh, sorry, sorry, Nurse. Just trying to keep the place sanitary.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Good day, Mrs Bailey.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Every time a boat comes in there's another one.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Six coloureds in there now.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Oh, Miss, it's you.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32May I come in, Mrs Hyde?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We like to make sure everything's in order for a home delivery
0:14:35 > 0:14:37and I was just passing.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It'll only take a moment.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- I can't eat this slop. - SMASHING
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- John, please! - Come here, you hag of a woman!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- You stop this instant. - Out of my way.- Make me!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Please, Miss, don't worry yourself.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You are having "slop" to keep you alive.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57You are having "slop" on my instructions,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00so if you want to bully someone, bully me.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02A man can't live on baby food.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04He can if he behaves like one.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Now, I suggest you go and do something useful
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and provide me with a urine sample.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You shouldn't have to put up with this.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I'd better get this up before someone hurts themselves.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Mrs Hyde, I'm afraid I have to ask for our notes -
0:16:02 > 0:16:04where do you and your husband sleep?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08My Harold's cousin and his wife gave up their own room for us.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11But there are six of you here?
0:16:13 > 0:16:19Mrs Bailey likes to talk. Jacob has two brothers... we're quiet people.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21We get along with it.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Thank you.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25We intend to take rooms of our own.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's just not that easy to find them that will rent to us.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32The colour bar, Miss.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Oh.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39My mother has this china.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Mine too. I brought it with me...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46..to remind me of her.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48You must miss her.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Like the sunshine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And the flowers she used to bring me from her garden...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00..her "English Garden" is what she called it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I used to think everyone in England drank tea
0:17:04 > 0:17:07and grew beautiful flowers in their gardens.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You shouldn't be doing all this on your own.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20S'all right. I'm strong enough.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30He shouldn't treat you the way he does.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37No treatment's worse than dragging yourself through the streets,
0:17:37 > 0:17:42nowhere to rest your head, nowhere to rest the baby.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44You were homeless?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Long time ago, Miss. Don't pay it no mind.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50It showed me what I could and couldn't stand.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I raised my son, my Bob, safe and well.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And now that he's grown I don't need to worry about nothing.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Thank you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- JOHN:- Woman!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20He's a bully.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23He makes his poor wife's life a misery and she puts up with it
0:18:23 > 0:18:26because she's so pitifully grateful for a roof over her head.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28A week of living on the streets,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30you'd be surprised what you'd put up with.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32If a wolf had offered her shelter, she'd have thanked him
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- for all eternity. - She's not on the streets any more -
0:18:35 > 0:18:37she could stand up to him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Ain't you been here long enough yet?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43We don't have Hollywood endings here, Nurse Miller.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44We just do our jobs.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I have to say, the tuberculosis doctors are extremely
0:18:59 > 0:19:00pleasing on the eye.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And extremely well-qualified and good at their jobs.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04What a bonus!
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Oh, I've been dying to know what's inside.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Young Timothy Turner insisted I gave it to you personally.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Oh, and Mrs B hopes you enjoy the cake.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21A dead butterfly. Peculiar boy.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Pieris brassicae. He wants me to ask the doctors for a diagnosis.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Apparently, it's not his father's area.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I'd say the pin sticking through it didn't help.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35He found him dead on the windowsill.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Besides, an enquiring mind is always to be admired.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47How is... How is everyone?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49We're all perfectly fine.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52But frankly we've had enough of this sanitorium business.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53We'd like you to come home.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56With Chummy coming back it will be just like old times again.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05He's coming home. He's coming home!
0:20:07 > 0:20:12My Bob. Home from America! With his fi-an-ce.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14He has a fi-an-ce!
0:20:14 > 0:20:19Oh, Mrs Lacey, how wonderful. When will he be here?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Why, any day. And he shall stay three weeks.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Ooh, and look, look at this. He sent it me.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Says I must have my own transistor radio.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Says there's a programme I can listen to every week about America.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Oh, yes, Letter From America. Sister Monica Joan adores it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Says I must listen to it and think of him.- Ahh.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I can carry it around everywhere.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Don't weigh more than a bag of sugar.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Ain't got a clue how to switch it on but that don't matter.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You must... you'll love it.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Here, I'll show you how it works.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27Then let's make sure we're as well as we can be for him, shall we?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I shall need a new razor.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33And some of that stuff that smells nice - pomade, that's it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35And my good suit. Should still fit.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Tell her, would you, my old lady? Tell her what I need.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I won't tell her anything, Mr Lacey.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Oh, I'm so sorry!
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Imagine the chairs
0:22:52 > 0:22:56are cars, pedestrians, or other road users.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00When do we actually get to go on the scooter, Fred?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04When you are proficient and no longer a danger to other road users.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Nurse Franklin, mind the chair.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I've got a run in my stockings. Counts as an emergency stop.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Sister Monica Joan? You'll catch a chill.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Child, were it not for the flowers you carry which imbue you
0:23:37 > 0:23:41with an air of innocence, I would curse you where you stand.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Can you not see the task I am undertaking?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Buried beneath us lie the keys.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53If I have the keys, I can get out.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04You can come with me.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I like it here. You like it here.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40He'll be here any minute.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41I wanted to be at my best.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It's too bright, ain't it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You could wear Billy Smart's tent
0:24:50 > 0:24:52and Bob would think you look wonderful.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Where is he then? - He'll be here. By and by.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59You look like a tin of strawberries exploded!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01He'll think we dropped the bomb again.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03How you do hurt me, John.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I'm joking, you daft mare.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07You look lovely, Mrs Lacey.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Well, it is new, and that counts for something, don't it?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32It's not just a myth.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Some of us do grow flowers and drink tea.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37SHE MOANS
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Mrs Hyde?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42They're Braxton Hicks contractions, Mrs Hyde.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47They may feel like labour but they're not the real ones.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49But they hurt so bad.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You've been having what you thought were contractions
0:25:52 > 0:25:55alone here and you didn't think to telephone us?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58And have my neighbours think I got my own nurse come running
0:25:58 > 0:25:59whenever I sneeze?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00I'm sorry?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They already think I get too much for nothing.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You have enough to get on with.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09All I have to get on with are my patients.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13And I would come out whatever the time, whatever the weather,
0:26:13 > 0:26:14for whatever worried any of you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Mrs Hyde, my job is looking after you.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24You're the English lady my mother told me about.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Well, then you need to promise me to let me look after you.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32So I can keep the side up for your mother.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38For goodness' sake, we're only around the corner.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Highway Code. I thought we'd spend tomorrow on it.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Still be on chairs, will they? More theory?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Without the theory, we are dust.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04You can't ride one, can you?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I beg your pardon?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Tomorrow. By the bike shed. 8am sharp.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Miss, I want a word with you. We've been talking.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Oh? Who's "we"?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Me and the other girls. We want you to come to us first.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28When you come round here.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I don't quite follow.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31When you do your home visits.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33And when you say "first"..?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Before what's-her-face. The coloured girl.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39And why's that?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well, we're vulnerable, ain't we?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43At this late stage, we could go down with all sorts.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45And you know what they bring in with them,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47and it ain't just banana spiders.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49So, it's just ignorant not to mention it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- I'll come to you first, Mrs Bailey. - See, I knew you'd understand.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Because then at the end of my round I'll be able to sit with Mrs Hyde
0:27:58 > 0:28:01and have a conversation with an intelligent, well-mannered woman.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02A proper conversation -
0:28:02 > 0:28:04one that isn't full of narrow-minded judgement.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06It will help me get through my other visits.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Fine son you got.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21He must just be delayed or caught up with something.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Oh, no.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31What difference does it make?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Ain't no-one here to see ya.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37No difference. None. There! Are you happy now?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Are you sad, Dad?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36How could I be sad when I've got you?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Granny Parker said you used to just sit in the car after Mummy died,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45like a sheepdog without his sheep.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Did she? How about some fried bread?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It's all about weight distribution and speed.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Too slow and it'll collapse on you, dump you like a sack of spuds.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Too fast and you fly over the top like a human cannon ball.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Ooh... ooh... ooh...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41If anyone was to see us in this position...
0:30:41 > 0:30:43with me behind you...
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I beg your pardon!
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I mean, er, with me as your pillion,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50might we phrase it such that I was demonstrating the machine to you?
0:30:50 > 0:30:56We might indeed phrase it that way, Frederick. We might indeed.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Not too fast, not too fast! You don't know the machine!
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Know it?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I rode a machine ten times this size day in, day out during the war.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10And I tell you what - I've missed it!
0:31:14 > 0:31:16HE WHIMPERS
0:31:26 > 0:31:29You said your parents were in hospitality.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Pie and mash... it's quite the thing in London.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38We have a room at the Grosvenor. I want to enjoy it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Show me England, the real England.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44We can't just go.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Bob, there's nobody here.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Bob? I knew it was you. We were expecting you yesterday.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Your mother's talked so much about you.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Bob.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00You're not leaving? Your mother's only popped out to pay the rent -
0:32:00 > 0:32:01she'll be back any minute.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Beg your pardon, Miss, but it's just that we've, um... We've...
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I have an appointment that I overlooked.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Mr Lacey, you can't possibly leave,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11your mother's living for this.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- I knew you'd come.- Mum.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Well, well, if it ain't the one that got away.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Nurse.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Mr Lacey?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Let's sit you down.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49I've come to the conclusion
0:32:49 > 0:32:53he's either the dullest man on earth or the most exciting one.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Perhaps we should just return to sender?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Save the poor man his postage.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Unrewardingly normal.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I think I'd like to arrange for a visitor.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08May I use the telephone?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I'll dial the number myself.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Just got up a little too quickly. Let's get you some water.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28They lie to ya... try to keep your spirits up.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Diabetes. I got my own nurse, that's how bad I am.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I'm sorry to hear that.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Why you talking all posh?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40He's talking like a gentleman. I could listen to you all day.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44David Niven, that's who you remind me of.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Perhaps the David Niven of insurance, Mum.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48SHE LAUGHS
0:33:50 > 0:33:53To be married! My Lord, I dreamed of this.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56When are you thinking?
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Um, we could get the Parish Hall, I reckon.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03We wouldn't want to put you to any trouble.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05We'll be getting married back home.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08But this is your home.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Trudie's parents... they very kindly...
0:34:11 > 0:34:14They have a beautiful house overlooking the Hudson River.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16It will be the perfect place.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Hudson River.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23My mother wouldn't forgive us.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Righto, righto, course.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28We'd like you to be there.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Oh, John. What do you think to that? Well, it... It could be a holiday.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37No, couldn't travel, not with my health.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41You'll have to write, tell us how it went.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- We should probably be going. - You're not stopping?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Oh, no, we couldn't put you to the bother.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Wait one minute, won't you, dear, just a minute?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02I have another call to make, Mrs Lacey, unless you need me here?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Oh, no, Miss. You go on now.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10What a day this has been, Miss. I've dreamed of a day like today.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24SHE SCREAMS
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Bloody hell! You saved us.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Ta.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49You'd have done the same for me.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Council promise to wash these steps every month. Lying sods.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Then we must look after each other, Mrs Bailey.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01How d'you mean?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Where I come from, we take it in turns...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06some of the ladies.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12One week I'd scrub the verandas, next week someone else.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15We could do that here.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19"Verandas". Makes me think of Gone With The Wind.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20I don't know why.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Gawd, I love a bit of Clark Gable.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29My mother keeps his picture beside her bed.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30I'd do the same.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Better than looking at my old man next to me on the pillow.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41What's it like?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Where you come from?
0:36:46 > 0:36:54Green. Very green. And the sea... like jade.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57If you climb up high enough,
0:36:57 > 0:36:58you can see the whole island.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03WOMEN CHATTER
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Well, I'll have to do my wash again now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08All sorts over it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22It's quaint. It's like stepping back in time.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Yes, that's what it is - it's Dickens.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Oh!- It were Bob's. I kept it all these years,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34hoping one day there'd be a reason for it again.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37It's yours now, dear.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Yes, it's very special.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Come and see me, Mum.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22I mean, the place was a hole, and those people...
0:38:22 > 0:38:25"Those people"? She's my mother.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51- Oh!- Left it, forgot it, don't make no difference.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Well, they can't be that far - I'll go after her.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56She's got no more interest in this than you have in the moon.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- He's found a right harsh one there. - We don't know her yet, John.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Won't get the chance neither. She's in charge, no doubt about it.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07He's marrying up, and she won't let him forget that in a hurry.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Hudson bloody River.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12He ain't like that. He won't be changed.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Don't see him coming back for this, do you?
0:39:15 > 0:39:19He's my son. I know what kind of a man he is!

0:40:14 > 0:40:18How is life at Nonnatus? I hear Chummy is on her way back.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Sister, from our letters and our visits, you probably know
0:40:24 > 0:40:27more about life at Nonnatus House than I do.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32So, please, what is it you can say to me now that
0:40:32 > 0:40:34you couldn't say in a letter?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41I've been lying, Sister.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46Lying to you, to God, to myself.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Would you mind turning it down, please?
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- You are perfectly able to travel, you know that.- So what if I do?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Don't you want to see your son get married?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20He ain't my son.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24I just took him in, put a roof over his head, same as I did her.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Sorry, I had no idea.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Ain't so high and mighty now, are ya?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34But don't you think it would mean such an awful lot to Mrs Lacey?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37She and that boy would have been in a work house without me.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39And I might as well have been.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42You got a nerve. I picked you up off the streets.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43I saved you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46And haven't I thanked you every day for it?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50I'm grateful, John, grateful for everything,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53but I've given far more than I've taken.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I've cared and done for you every day that we've been together.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And though you might not think it worth the mention,
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I've given you all that I have.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02HE SCOFFS
0:42:11 > 0:42:14So all this time you felt unable to share your suffering.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I thought I'd lost my faith.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I never felt so wretched or alone in my life.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25I've been so worried. I hoped you would speak to me again.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26I haven't lost my faith.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31I want other things.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Things I can't have in the religious life.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42We've all felt that - times of confusion.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45There were for me.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51This was my wilderness, my test of what I felt, what I believed.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55And I see now that I wasn't close to death,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59I was close to life - and it took the illness to show me.
0:43:03 > 0:43:09I think God wants another path for me... beyond Nonnatus.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20Sister... what you're saying, what you're asking...
0:43:22 > 0:43:26..is the first step on a journey which will not be an easy one.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31You must be sure that it is one you wish to pursue.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34I need your strength, Sister.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39I don't have enough of my own because I don't know if God's given
0:43:39 > 0:43:43me a window and I'm just staring out of it because I'm afraid to open it?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15So I'm going out now. And I can't says when I'll be back.
0:44:15 > 0:44:20- What do you mean, "going out"? Where?- That's my business.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22Where would you be going all painted up like that?
0:44:22 > 0:44:24I had a life before you, John.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27It's about time I found it again.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29(Well done, Annie!)
0:44:29 > 0:44:30Thank you, dear.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42It's all about weight distribution and speed.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Too slow and it will collapse under you,
0:44:44 > 0:44:45dumping you like a sack of spuds.
0:44:45 > 0:44:49Too fast and you'll fly over the top like a human cannon ball.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50Thank you, Sister.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Don't be afraid of it. Fear kills.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01I'm not.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39Gently, chaps. I've come back a bit top heavy.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42Oh, Chummy. How wonderful!

0:46:33 > 0:46:34Mum...
0:46:34 > 0:46:38That don't mean I expect to be pride of place - I don't.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41You got your life and I couldn't be more proud of you.

0:46:50 > 0:46:56Nothing's perfect. But we keep on, cos we remember the good bits.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Then we must have a long, long lunch, where we remember all
0:47:01 > 0:47:05those good bits and tell each other all the little things we've missed.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- Is that all right? - Yes, love, quite all right.
