0:00:29 > 0:00:31'To the young, it seems no door is closed
0:00:31 > 0:00:35'and as though all hearts are open,
0:00:35 > 0:00:36'everything is possible...
0:00:37 > 0:00:39'..and love comes so easily.'
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Oh, hello.- Hello.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Hello.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57'I loved my work
0:00:57 > 0:00:59'and the freedom that it brought me.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01'I loved the teeming streets,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04'the families I encountered.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'I loved it all,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09'and I thought the joy would last for ever.'
0:01:16 > 0:01:17What's this?
0:01:17 > 0:01:20My attempt at making the Children's Dental Education Programme
0:01:20 > 0:01:22a little more fun.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Would you mind finishing it later?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Nurse Miller's still with Kitty Chubb
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and she's run out of pethidine.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Is there no-one else who can go?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You're next on call, and it's been a long labour.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I think Nurse Miller would value some support.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Of course.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I shall see you at the Clinic.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51What's that?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55The nightdress I was making.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58With every stitch, I could see the baby's face more clearly.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03But now the nightdress will never be needed,
0:02:03 > 0:02:04and the face won't go away.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Put it in the drawer, Shelagh. Put it away out of sight.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10I tried that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13This isn't the end of the world.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17It's just the end of a road. We'll find a way ahead.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'm looking for it. I really am.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44KITTY WAILS
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I can't keep doing this!
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Sshh! You're nearly there, Kitty.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54And remember, every one of these pushes,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56you're that bit nearer to meeting your baby.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Pethidine? Special delivery!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Bless you, Sister, but we don't need it now!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Baby decided he was in a hurry after all, and Kitty's coping really well.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- No, I'm not!- Oh, poor thing... - I need Frankie.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I think I saw Mr Chubb in the kitchen.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Mr Chubb is called Victor. - Frankie...he's in there.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Top drawer.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24That's him!
0:03:24 > 0:03:25KITTY WAILS
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Big, strong, brave push!
0:03:32 > 0:03:33We're nearly there, Kitty.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'll go and organise some hot water.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Actually, Sister, if could just pass me that warm towel...
0:03:38 > 0:03:39KITTY WHIMPERS
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Now pant for me, Kitty.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Good.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Well done.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Now, one more big push.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03KITTY WAILS
0:04:08 > 0:04:09BABY CRIES
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Oh, what a beautiful baby boy!
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Is he mine? Is he really mine?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You must think me a right daft 'un, asking for my teddy.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Not at all. If it helps you, that's what matters.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Congratulations.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38BABY CRIES
0:04:51 > 0:04:55He's yours now, little one. I'm not a kid any more.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01BABY SCREAMS
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Excuse me? How much longer, please? - What's the name?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Moss. Leah Moss. I've been here over an hour.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I do apologise, Mrs Moss, we've been busier than usual today,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- but you are after this lady. - Thank you.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Sorry for the long wait.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Could've done without it today, to be honest.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Don't suppose you've got a spare hour to lend me?
0:05:27 > 0:05:31If only. You are looking a little tired.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32You getting enough rest?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33You sound like my mother.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Your ankles are very swollen. Are they troubling you?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Apart from turning me into an elephant, no.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Any headaches? Heartburn?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Nothing. I'm sorry, but I really need to go now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I just need to check your urine. It'll only take a minute.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Sister, there isn't an ashtray in my cubicle.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55I'll fetch one right away, doctor.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I do think Kitty will make a wonderful mother.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02She was so distressed when she was in labour!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Oh, it's deliveries like Kitty's that make me glad I'm a midwife.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10It's as though I've found my true purpose.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I felt like that when I was called to the religious life.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Sister, do you enjoy the medical side of things?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Of course! I started off as a teacher in the village school,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23but that's what you do when you join this Order,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25you train as a nurse, and then as a midwife,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27and all the while you're studying to take your vows.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- It's quite a tall order. - Yes. I've learned a lot.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Oh, I just don't seem to feel the same...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40..joy that others do.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Perhaps stop trying quite so hard
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and instead just...feel,
0:06:47 > 0:06:51feel the mother's pain, the mother's joy.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53The happiness is catching.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Mrs Moss?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Mama, I'm sorry to be so long,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I was waiting and waiting for the Kranknshvester.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Mama?
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Mama?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Not again?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57MAMME GROANS
0:07:57 > 0:07:59No, not yet.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02We'll wait till it passes.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13A free spirit, a suffragette, a nobler heroine!
0:08:13 > 0:08:14That's all well and good,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17but it doesn't mean Miss Scarlett is innocent of murder!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Murder in Nonnatus House?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23An enthralling board game, in which we are required to play detective.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Cluedo.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Sshh!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30J'accuse...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35..Colonel Mustard,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36for one should never trust
0:08:36 > 0:08:39a yellow-bellied, colonial imperialist...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43..in the Billiard Room -
0:08:43 > 0:08:47billiards is such a foolish pastime - with...
0:08:48 > 0:08:51..a revolver - the weapon of cowards.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56It's about collecting clues, not divine inspiration!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Well? Am I correct?
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Oh-h!
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Yes!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Do you wish to join us, Sister?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I must confess, I find this game singularly invigorating!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It would be more so, if you followed the rules!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Perhaps another time. I have some correspondence to take care of.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I only agreed to join you in this nonsense on condition you help me
0:09:19 > 0:09:23with the rest of the donations, so I suggest we go and do that instead.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I see.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27What?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You do not take defeat very well,
0:09:30 > 0:09:34so it's best we abandon all hope of a rematch.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I am indubitably the superior player
0:09:38 > 0:09:42and I would not wish to vanquish you a second time.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47Well, if you'll pardon me, I'll leave the experts to it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56# Oh, I do like to stroll along the prom-prom-prom
0:09:56 > 0:09:59# Where the brass band plays tiddly-om-pom-pom..."
0:09:59 > 0:10:03If you're hoping for a duet, I'm afraid I'm far too tired.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't want a duet, I want an answer to a question.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And I'm rather hoping that answer might be yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Well, it depends on the question.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I don't suppose you'd like to come with me to Brighton this weekend -
0:10:13 > 0:10:15all perfectly respectable.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17A chap at work had a hotel reservation
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and he can't go now so...
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Jenny, have you seen my dratted tennis racket anywhere?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26If Sister Evangelina's borrowed it to chase mice again...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27I'll be up in a minute.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Do say yes. It would be nice, for once,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36not to have to compete with every nurse and mother
0:10:36 > 0:10:37in the East End for your attention.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- It is my weekend off. - Is that a yes, then?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, I do like to be beside the seaside.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Cynthia!
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Say you'll come shopping with me tomorrow.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06There's a dress I've been dying for an excuse to buy,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- and Alec's invited me somewhere quite exciting!- Has he?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Penny for them?- Sorry.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It's just that I've had such an odd conversation with Sister Winifred.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- What about?- I noticed something wasn't right
0:11:18 > 0:11:20when Kitty Chubb gave birth this morning.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23She just looked terribly uneasy.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27And when we were talking it over,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30she seemed to be saying that she found midwifery quite hard.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Perhaps we need to give her more support.- Yes.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35We were all beginners once.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Gosh, who would've thought we'd end up the old hands?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Now, tell me all about this dress.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57DOOR OPENS
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Where's my sweetheart?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Got you some little treats from the shop,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08schmaltz herring, er, pickled cucumbers -
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- I know you've been craving them, little bit of cream cheese...- Why?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Benny Koffman stopped by the delicatessen,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23turns out his manager's moving to Israel
0:12:23 > 0:12:25and he's looking for a new one,
0:12:25 > 0:12:26wants to know if I fancy it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Benny Koffman's shop's in Golders Green?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31There's a flat above it, and a garden for the little 'un.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35This is our chance to get out the East End.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43It's, er, it's going to be a no, isn't it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- What about my mother? - Take her to a doctor, Leah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48No doctors, Charlie. I won't even discuss it.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51It's 12 years since she left this flat!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Do you think that doesn't make me feel as trapped as she is?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Do you think I want to be stuck here,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59imprisoned in this house of ghosts?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Talk to her, Leah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Talk to her.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08KNOCK ON DOOR
0:13:10 > 0:13:11My dear!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Sister Monica Joan let me in.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I wanted to give you something, for the charity box.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19KNOCK ON DOOR
0:13:21 > 0:13:22KNOCKS AGAIN
0:13:24 > 0:13:25DOOR OPENS
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Hello?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Midwives calling.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40Come in, come in. Don't stand on the doorstep!
0:13:42 > 0:13:47I'm so ashamed, we've not so much as a crumb in the house to offer you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51We're not here to eat, Mrs Rubin. We've come to see your daughter.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53She's in the bedroom.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Hello. I'm Nurse Miller... What on earth are you doing?
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Let me help you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Sister Winifred was bringing your delivery pack,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14so thought I'd tag along.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Nurse Lee told me you left the clinic in rather a hurry.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- I'm sorry.- Don't worry.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Your urine test was clear,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24but we do need you to help us keep on top of routine checks.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It's important for you and for your baby.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I had to come home.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31My mother doesn't like being left alone for too long.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33We can come to you here.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Apart from anything else, it will give us
0:14:35 > 0:14:38a chance to make sure you're not doing any heavy lifting.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Just going to take your blood pressure.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48When Dr Turner and I married, I was so sure what my life would be.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Just as sure as I was when I took my vows.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56But now... I don't feel sure of anything.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I can't picture the future at all.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02In the past year, your life has changed unrecognisably.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It's understandable that you looked for certainties.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Perhaps I was greedy!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12I was given so much, and I wanted more.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Do not even begin to think of your childlessness as a punishment.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I will not allow it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Thank you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24I need something to occupy my mind.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'm not used to having so much time.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29You have so many gifts, Shelagh.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Oh, I don't know about that.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34You have energy and compassion and intelligence
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and a voice I have seldom heard matched.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I only sing in church now.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Have you thought of joining a choir?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Poplar Choral Society have a wonderful repertoire.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I thought I heard their director had retired?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yes, but the choir itself is still going strong.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I don't doubt they'd welcome you with open arms.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So, you are a nun?
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Yes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04And a midwife?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06That's right.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It is truly a wonderful thing, what you do,
0:16:09 > 0:16:15bringing life into the world, seeing everything made new.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Everything's coming along nicely,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21but I've ticked Leah off - she's been trying to do too much.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24That's my fault. I make work for her.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'm sure that's not true.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27She has attacks.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Attacks?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Dizzy spells.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34It's gornisht - nothing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35It's not nothing!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38What if you have a dizzy spell when you're out and about?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40You may fall and hurt yourself.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I don't go outside, so that will not happen.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44You don't go outside?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52The attacks, they come and they go.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55We can arrange for a doctor to drop by and see you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59There's no need for a doctor. She just needs peace and quiet.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02And peace and quiet, I get at home.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Apparently the restaurant serves the best moules marinieres in England,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and I've just remembered you don't like shellfish.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Well, if it's a seafood restaurant, there'll be Dover sole.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19I'll have to throw you out in a minute.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'll be up all hours packing. I haven't even started.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25ROMANTIC MUSIC ON RADIO Sshh! Not so loud.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29There's something extremely urgent we must attend to first.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31What if one of the nuns walks past?
0:17:33 > 0:17:38# I was made for you
0:17:41 > 0:17:43# Nature...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I never used to think I could dance.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49When I dance with you, it feels as if we're in a film.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Like Debbie Reynolds.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Does that make me Gene Kelly?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I rather think it does.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I say!- What do you think?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18I think how wicked you are to be spending two whole nights
0:18:18 > 0:18:19in a hotel with a man.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Surely you don't think...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Alec will have organised two rooms!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Oh, I'm teasing, silly.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I'm sure it will all be perfectly proper.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Though I think that's what he's organised.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32He didn't exactly say.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Oh, it's going to be lovely, strolling, hand in hand,
0:18:36 > 0:18:37along the pier.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41But you are a modern girl in many ways,
0:18:41 > 0:18:43he might have made assumptions.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Men will be men.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Not Alec, surely!
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Course not.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51In which case, you'd better have such a marvellous time
0:18:51 > 0:18:53that you make us all positively green with envy.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Hello.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Ah, hello!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Do take a seat, Mr Jesmond will be with you shortly.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You can take in the luxurious ambience while you wait.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06D'you know when he'll be back?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Well, he said he was going to the bank
0:19:08 > 0:19:11to withdraw the wherewithal for your little treat...in Brighton.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12I see.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14It's a shame I had to cancel my plans,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I've had some memorable weekends in that hotel.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Still, you two are clearly going to make the most of it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21What's he been saying?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Oh, not much. But then, he doesn't need to say much.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We understand each other.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Jenny! What a lovely surprise!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Didn't think I'd be seeing you until this evening.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33What have you told him?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Just that I was looking forward to taking you away.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I was under the impression you'd booked two separate rooms!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- He clearly isn't! - Jenny, you're making assumptions.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43No, Alec, you are.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Enjoy your moules marinieres!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52That's perfect!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55You just need to take it easy now these last few days.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Don't worry, Sister, I do all the housework today.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05Not only is it our Shabbas soon, it is also the festival of Shavous.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I've heard of Shavous.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Isn't it the Feast of Weeks, the day you read the Book of Ruth?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13And the day I make cheesecake!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16A recipe from the heim.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You want to try a bit?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Oh, I've got to get back in time for evening prayer.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I do love the story of Ruth.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26"Whither thou goest I will go
0:20:26 > 0:20:28"and where thou lodgest, I will lodge."
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Leah...
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Oh, my goodness.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Sit in the chair, Leah.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Sorry.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Don't lift her or she'll vomit!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm sending for the doctor, Leah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I'm sending for the doctor,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45if not for your mother's sake, then for your baby's.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51I don't want to go to choir practice! It will all be old women.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55No, it won't. It's a choral society, all sorts of people join.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I like piano and violin, I don't like singing.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Good evening, PC Noakes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Evening, Mrs Turner. How are you, Timothy?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Rather hoping I might get arrested,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06so I don't have to go to choir practice.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09We're joining the Poplar Choral Society tonight.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Timothy's vexed because he's missing The Lone Ranger.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Me too. Mind you, I've always fancied singing in a choir.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18You could go instead of me.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well, I'd be quite tempted, but, er, I'm on duty.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22You enjoy yourselves.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24We'll be sure to do just that.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I think we've come on the wrong night.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Mrs Turner and Timothy?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Mr Delaney?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Welcome, welcome. Both of you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41This all looks very...cosy.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Since you telephoned, we've lost three more members and our pianist.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So this is it, I'm sorry to say.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Five voices isn't so bad.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52And Timothy plays the piano, don't you?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes, but I can't sing.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Oh, as a matter of fact, we were about to head to
0:21:56 > 0:21:57the Coach and Horses.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You can come, if you like?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The nipper can sit on the steps and we'll send out a cream soda.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03All right!
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You're very kind. But no, thank you.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Come on, ladies! All good things come to an end.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Coach and Horses is only round the corner.- No!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Baby seems completely unperturbed.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34What about my mother?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37The sedative I've given her will help.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Not least because it means I can ask you some questions.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Aside from dizziness, nausea and hearing loss,
0:22:45 > 0:22:47does your mother have any other symptoms?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50She hasn't set foot outside this flat for 12 years.
0:22:50 > 0:22:5112 years?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Please don't take her away.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I know she's lost her mind, but I can look after her.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What makes you think she's lost her mind?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02During the war,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Mama and I were in a Nazi ghetto.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09A miracle happened and we escaped.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11We lived in a cellar till it was safe.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17When we returned home, our family, our friends were...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20..gone.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Soon after, we move to London and these attacks start.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26You see now?
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Mrs Moss, I am not going to take your mother anywhere.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35You've lost enough, she's lost enough.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39But we do need to get to the bottom of what ails her.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I told you. It's her mind that ails her.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Not necessarily.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47It's possible we may be looking at a form of vertigo,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49something called Meniere's disease.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's a problem with the inner ear.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52- The ear?- Yes.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55And there are medications we can try.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Really?
0:23:57 > 0:24:01A fear of leaving home is quite common with Meniere's sufferers.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It may be that everything's related.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07So, if you treat her ear, she'll be able to go outside?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10There is every reason for optimism.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13After 12 years. I can hardly believe it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Thank you both.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Thank you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- ALEC:- You've no business talking to her about our weekend plans, Clive.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Look, sorry old thing, but she lured me into a conversation.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25She was checking up on you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I don't care if she was. I've got nothing to hide.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Look, why don't you come out on the town with me instead?
0:24:30 > 0:24:31I'll find you a nice new girl.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34That Nurse Jenny Lee is far too proper.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And do you know something? That's exactly what I like about her!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39It was a joke!
0:24:39 > 0:24:40WOOD CREAKS
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Aaargh!
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Alec!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Police! Police! Police!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55There's been an accident, quick!
0:24:55 > 0:24:56He's over here.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00The staircase just gave way.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Oh, no...
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Is he...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Is he dead?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06No.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Alec? Alec!
0:25:10 > 0:25:14I'll stay with him, you call an ambulance.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15But fetch the doctor first!
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I just saw his car parked halfway up James Street.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20It's a green Austin. Knock on doors if you have to!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Alec? Alec?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Here. It's Alec Jesmond.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34No...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37He's breathing, but spark out.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38Has been since I arrived.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Main problem looks like his leg.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55He fell from up there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Nasty.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11The femur's shattered. And I don't like the look of this foot.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13We're going to have to get his shoe off.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15ALEC COUGHS
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- It's all right, mate. It's all right. - Aaargh!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21You've come a bit of a cropper. The doctor's here.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Aargh!
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Sorry, sorry. Just try and stay as still as you can.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Everything's all right, mate. The ambulance is on its way.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37No blood supply.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40The whole limb is at risk.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Now, do as I tell you and we might save his leg.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Any more pads?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04There's a couple of rolled bandages.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Thank you.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I need your tie too, to fix the splint. And yours.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You go outside and wait to flag down the ambulance.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Yes, sir.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Aaargh!
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- My leg...- Alec, don't move.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34In a moment, I can give you something to help with the pain,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37but I just need you to stay completely still.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Where's his ambulance?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40That's the man.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It's going to be OK, mate.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Is it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Yeah, it better be.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49I don't fancy giving any bad news to that girlfriend of yours.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- No, you don't.- No.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52BELL CLANGS
0:27:54 > 0:27:58A problem with my ear?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59And it can be mended?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03The doctor believes so. It means you can leave the house.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It means you don't need to be scared any more.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08And the timing couldn't be better.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10What do you mean?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You know we always talk of moving to North West London?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Well, Benny Koffman has asked Charlie to be
0:28:16 > 0:28:17the manager of his shop.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19In Golders Green!
0:28:19 > 0:28:21And there's a flat too, with room for all of us.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24I see.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30So much news you give me, all in one evening.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33We need to let Benny know by Sunday, Mama.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36And today is Shabbas.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42On Sunday, we start packing.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Steady on the way, gentlemen.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11How can I have been so naive?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Are you quite certain that Alec's intentions
0:29:13 > 0:29:15aren't of the honourable kind?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17You said yourself, men will be men.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19You said Alec wasn't like that.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21And nothing you've told me now suggests otherwise.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I wish you could have heard this chap. He was nauseating.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28But Alec isn't, though.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Perhaps you should discuss it with him now you've calmed down.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33There's still time to go.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34KNOCK ON DOOR
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Cynthia?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38We've had a call.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39There's been an accident.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47How is he?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49He's out of theatre.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51He's broken his right femur,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54left arm and several ribs.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56What about his foot?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59They couldn't save it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04His ankle was so shattered, he would never have walked on it again.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06They said he would have lost the whole leg
0:30:06 > 0:30:08if it hadn't been for Doctor Turner.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17WHISPERING: What makes you think that?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I don't know. If it's a boy...
0:30:20 > 0:30:22MUSIC DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Visiting hours are over.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Mr Jesmond needs to rest.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58HE CHUCKLES TO HIMSELF
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Oh, Nurse Lee.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02How are you?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Only, I heard what happened to your gentleman friend...
0:31:06 > 0:31:08SHE CRIES
0:31:08 > 0:31:10You poor kid, come here.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Have you slept or had anything to eat?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16I haven't been able to do either.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Well, I can't do anything about the sleeping,
0:31:18 > 0:31:20save knocking you over the head with a mallet.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23But I can give you something to keep your strength up.
0:31:23 > 0:31:24So, go on.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Oh, no, Fred, I couldn't. You made that for yourself.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30No, it's all right. I shouldn't really, anyway.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- I mean, me guts been giving me jip...- Thank you.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Mmm. Mmm.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Maybe I should wait until after I get the tests?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47You'll have to leave the flat to get the tests.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49What if I have an attack?
0:31:49 > 0:31:50You do want to go out?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Would I be doing this, would I be struggling like this,
0:31:53 > 0:31:54if I didn't want to?!
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Try, Mama. Please try.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Don't worry.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19We'll try again.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Yes, thank you, you've been very helpful. Goodbye.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32The vascular surgeon saved Alec Jesmond's leg,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34but not his foot.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39What age is he? 25, 26?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42He'll live another 50 years, Patrick.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44You played your part in that.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46Do you want one?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I always want one.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50But you don't always ask.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Patrick, I'm going to take on that choir.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Revive it, get it back on its feet.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Well, that's a bold move.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I'm a bold girl.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Sometimes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18We tried three times and she can't even stand on the doorstep,
0:33:18 > 0:33:19let alone on the street.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Why not?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Perhaps she needs more time.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26How much more? Another 12 years?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28The mind is a very complicated thing.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31I've already told Benny I'm taking the job!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Well, now you can tell him that you're not!
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- ALEC:- So...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39no foot.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Better no foot than no you.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51HE SNIFFS
0:33:53 > 0:33:55What am I going to do?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02We are going to do perfectly well.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07HE SOBS
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Who here brushes their teeth? - ALL: Me!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Are you going to show me?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Ah, now brushing across is fun,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17I'll grant you, but it won't do the job.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19You see, if you wanted to clean between your fingers,
0:34:19 > 0:34:22you wouldn't brush across them like this, would you?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Up and down!- You'd go up and down!
0:34:25 > 0:34:27That's it, you already know...
0:34:27 > 0:34:28WOMEN SING
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Would you like to come through?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34# With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
0:34:34 > 0:34:40# When I had it on I walked on the air. #
0:34:40 > 0:34:42APPLAUSE
0:34:42 > 0:34:44That was lovely.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45We've been singing since school.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48We fancied ourselves as the new Chordettes.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Only look at us now.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53All mums, just a few weeks between our babies.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55You've got beautiful voices.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Miss all that singing.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Ladies, I might have just the thing for you.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02How would you like to join my choir?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04We'll be practising one evening a week.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Love to, Mrs Turner. But we've got little ones.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I'm sure you'll be able to bring them along to rehearsals.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Kitty? You shouldn't be here,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16you know you're still entitled to home visits.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17I got bored of home visits.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Anyway, I wanted to show him off.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Aww, he's still got his teddy.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Oh, we don't go nowhere without Frankie!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Don't forget to tell your family and friends about the choir.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29A choir?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32I'm taking over the Poplar Choral Society.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Numbers had dwindled and it would be such a shame if it died out.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Goodness. Have you ever run a choir before?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40I haven't.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43But no-one else has taken up the reins.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Mrs Rubin...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Mrs Rubin, when I was 12,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59there was a horse that lived on the farm next door.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03He'd been a fine racer, but then was kept in the stables so long
0:36:03 > 0:36:06he wouldn't come outdoors any more.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09So the farmer tried a tiny bit at a time...
0:36:09 > 0:36:13You think I'm an alte kliatshe and don't know what you're doing?!
0:36:13 > 0:36:17Coming into my house and calling me a horse!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Yes, all right, it was a silly idea.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25But I cannot sit back
0:36:25 > 0:36:28and watch your family fall to pieces after
0:36:28 > 0:36:30everything you've been through.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35What about this story?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38It's about a heroine
0:36:38 > 0:36:41called Tzirale Rubin,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45who fought and beat the most evil humans in history.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Who saved her daughter's life.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And left her family and friends behind?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Some heroine!
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Listen to me!
0:36:54 > 0:36:58You are a warrior, Mrs Rubin.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01You can fight this!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Take my arm.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Take it.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15That's right.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26No.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27No, please!
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Everyone tells you that the love in films isn't real.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40But I know what you and I have is better than in any film.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42When I thought I might lose you...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47When you get out of here, we're going straight to Brighton.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Then Paris.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Where Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds belong.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Won't be able to do much dancing, of course.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00We'll be dancing in here.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Even now?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Yes.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08How do I look?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Pretty suave?
0:38:11 > 0:38:12The suavest.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19My beautiful Jenny.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31So, do you think I'll be able to get 50% off shoes from now on?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Absolutely.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I'll see you tomorrow.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46I've signed up several new members so far,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48but we still need more.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51We rehearse at the Community Centre every Friday.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Everybody's welcome.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55I wish I could come. I'm busy with Girls' Brigade.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I think it's a wonderful enterprise.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01How's Alec?
0:39:01 > 0:39:05He's got a long road ahead of him and he knows it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08But he's being so brave. I couldn't be prouder.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18- I'm in the process of reviving it. - Well, you can count me in.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20And Alec too, once he's out of hospital.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Wonderful! Thank you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24That was Mr Moss, Leah's husband.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Leah thinks she's gone into labour and I'm next on call.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Well, if you wait while I change into my uniform, I'll come with you.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Don't you want to rest? - No. I want to work.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I need to get back to normal now, for Alec's sake.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Oh. Good for you.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Just going to listen to baby.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Baby's heartbeat's a little slower than I'd like.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Nurse Lee. I must talk with you.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Your friend, Mr Jesmond.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08He is gravely sick.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11But I saw him less than an hour ago. What's happened?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15The Sister on the phone said you should go now to the hospital.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- I'm sorry.- But...
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Are they sending someone else?

0:41:05 > 0:41:08Into a family filled with love.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10And I need you to do exactly as I tell you.
0:41:10 > 0:41:11Do you understand?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Tell me what to do.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14Sit here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Leah, you're fully dilated now.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25The baby's heartbeat is a little slow,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27so I want this baby out quickly.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Now, push for me as hard as you can.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44The head's coming!
0:41:44 > 0:41:47I need you to pant for me.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Good girl.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50There's the head.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I can see the head!
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Now, I need you to give me one more big push!

0:42:45 > 0:42:47Congratulations!
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Hello. I'm your mummy.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58She looks like you.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59She looks like Tateh.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10We'll stay, here in the flat, altogether.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Sister?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28I'm sorry, Mr Jesmond has just passed away.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33No. You're wrong.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35I was with him just an hour ago and he was fine.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- I'm afraid there was a further... - You're wrong. - ..complication with his fracture.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42The doctors suspect it was an embolism that killed him. I'm so sorry.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Please.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11You've been bereaved.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I won't hear of any return to work until after Alec's funeral.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17His parents won't even be able to be there.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20They're stationed in Ceylon, his father's at sea.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23No work for you today.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26You must rest and join us in chapel if you wish to.
0:47:26 > 0:47:27Chapel?
0:47:27 > 0:47:30I just don't see where God fits into any of this.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32God isn't in the event, Jenny.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35He is in the response to the event.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40In the love that is shown and the care that is given.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43I wish I could argue with you.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I wish I could think of anything at all.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50Would you consider taking compassionate leave?
0:47:50 > 0:47:53You could be our guest, at the Mother House in Chichester.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56I...
0:47:56 > 0:47:57I might.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00You don't have to give an answer now.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09Patrick. Would you look at this manuscript for me?
0:48:09 > 0:48:11I haven't read music for years.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13You help Timothy with his piano.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I've had to fiddle with the tenor part,
0:48:15 > 0:48:17because I'm not sure how many men will turn up.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Turn up when?
0:48:19 > 0:48:20At choir practice. Tonight.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23I've said we'll sing at Alec's funeral
0:48:23 > 0:48:27and I've absolutely no idea how I'm going to pull it off.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30My love, I can't rewrite choral music
0:48:30 > 0:48:32any more than I can fly to the moon.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34You could do your best. I'm doing my best.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36If doing my best made any difference,
0:48:36 > 0:48:38the choir wouldn't be singing at a funeral.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41You are not to blame for Alec's death.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46You did everything you could for him.
0:48:46 > 0:48:47But somewhere else
0:48:47 > 0:48:50a decision was made that no amount of prayer will change.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52And you have to accept that.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56That's what I can't bear.
0:48:58 > 0:48:59I know how that feels.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I know you do.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Baby's a beauty, that's for sure.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14They named her yesterday at the synagogue.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Elizabeth Malke.
0:49:30 > 0:49:31Mrs Rubin?
0:49:51 > 0:49:52Leah?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Mama!
0:49:56 > 0:50:00What you want to bring the baby out in that thin shmatte?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02She'll catch pneumonia!
0:51:00 > 0:51:03Is it all right if we bring the prams in, Mrs Turner?
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Of course. It's so good of you to come.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07We read about that young man in the paper.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10It said his mother couldn't make it to his funeral.
0:51:10 > 0:51:11Said she lives abroad.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Yes. In Ceylon.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Well, we're all mums now.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16We're doing this for her.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17Thank you.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21I'll go to the kitchen and put the urn on.
0:51:21 > 0:51:22I knew it'd be a good turn-out.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27- You came.- We both wanted to.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31But Camilla's had to send apologies, Freddie's teething.
0:51:31 > 0:51:32How's Jenny?
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Not too good, I'm afraid.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37I'm desperate to think of a wise or profound word to help,
0:51:37 > 0:51:40but all I can feel is utter fury and that's no help at all.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Well, sometimes there's nothing you can say.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43But there's always something you can do.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45That's why we came tonight.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Can everyone come and take a seat, please,
0:51:48 > 0:51:52so we can go through the music part by part first?
0:51:52 > 0:51:54We've chosen Mozart.

0:52:07 > 0:52:11It's such a beautiful dress, and you wanted it so much.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15I bought it for a weekend that's never going to happen,
