0:00:43 > 0:00:45'Summer was coming to an end.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'The dawns were paler and the mornings cool.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53'Yet we had few thoughts of autumn or of harvest
0:00:53 > 0:00:57'for we saw the fruits of women's labours every day.'
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Good morning. Morning, Fred. Morning.
0:01:00 > 0:01:07'The wheel of our year turned slowly. Work was its constant driving force,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09'as present yet as changeable as the weather.'
0:01:26 > 0:01:32'But time passed in Poplar as it did everywhere, holding mysteries
0:01:32 > 0:01:34'and secrets in its net.'
0:01:57 > 0:01:59We were nibbling Maraschino cherries
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and drinking gin cocktails on the deck of his yacht.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Gosh, I'm sorry, did I sleep through breakfast?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06There's something kept warm for you but you need to be quick about it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And then he said, "Trixie, darling, let me take you to Monaco."
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Who did? Rock Hudson.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13In a dream she had.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15But then I said, "Rock,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18"that sounds lovely, but I'm afraid I have to be up early to prep
0:02:18 > 0:02:20"and pack for my home visits."
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Can you imagine?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I blame Christmas and the long winter nights.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Number of young women due to give birth nine months later.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31There's 30 in the next two weeks alone!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34And my district patient numbers are spiralling wildly.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I don't know how we're going to get through the next month.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Unless we start home visits an hour earlier.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43No, he really wouldn't want me to do that.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Who wouldn't?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Rock Hudson.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Well, the obvious answer is you need to attend to your social life.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58It's true.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00And it wouldn't have to be terribly glamorous. It wouldn't have to
0:03:00 > 0:03:03be a yacht or gin martinis.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Or Rock Hudson.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Thank you, but is he really my type?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13She doesn't like the handsome type.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Perhaps he hasn't enough film star charisma for her.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18All right. Thank you.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I'm sure the curate's very sweet,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but I dated one once and it has slightly put me off.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30BIKE BELLS RING
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Good morning. Reverend. Hello.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What do you think? It belongs to an old college friend.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38He said we could borrow it if we fix it up.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It ought to be a boon for the Guides and Cubs
0:03:40 > 0:03:42if we can actually get it started.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Do you think it might make it all the way to Monaco?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Actually, Nurse Franklin, you might be just the person I need.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Really?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53For advice on a matter of style.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I didn't think the church funds would cover a coat of paint
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but Fred thinks he can get me some cheap.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I could do you eight gallons of blue for five bob
0:04:06 > 0:04:07or some yella.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Well, I'm not quite sure what buses are wearing this season,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12but I wouldn't have thought yellow.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Maybe blue will suit. What kind of blue?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It's blue. Fred, have I not taught you anything?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Is it duck egg blue, full of the warmth of summer?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Well, on the tin, it just says...blue.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Fred, I hope you don't think you can leave that thing parked there.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I suggest you leave your money in your pocket.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37My experience of Fred's deals is you always regret getting involved.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Received and understood.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47We've quite a full list this afternoon,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49so you may have to be patient.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Take a seat. Thank you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Sorry, Sister.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I was helping one of my home visits to breastfeed. Mrs Lloyd again.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Baby just wouldn't latch on.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03They only keep you as long as you let them, Nurse Miller.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Now hurry up and make yourself useful.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10CHILDREN SCREAM
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Don't you think, Sister, especially during these busier periods,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16that timed appointments might move things along rather more swiftly?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Hello, Mrs Brindle.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Heavens! What a whopper! Easy to see who baby takes after.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26If you could just pop baby on the scales for me, Mrs Brindle.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You registered with us quite close to your due date, Mrs Doyle.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36We only just - myself and my husband - we only recently came to London.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40It will mean moving things along quite quickly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42We'll set up a home visit for tomorrow.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I see Dr Turner has done routine bloods and a pelvic assessment.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Everything seems to be normal.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I told the doctor I'm worried my baby isn't moving so much.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And I'm sure Dr Turner told you that baby's movements are very varied.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00There is no right amount.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02You might try drinking a glass of cold water.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04That will often get baby to kick.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07But you will check? Do tests?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09We'll listen in to baby's heart.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12But first, we need some details from you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Let's start with your maiden name.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What would you need to know that for?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19We need to get a full picture of your family health history.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Stocks. Phoebe Stocks.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And do you have someone other than your husband to help out?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32No, I don't know anyone.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Could all mothers keep their children under control, please?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39And once you've been seen by the midwife,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41can you please make your way out?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Nurse Mount.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45If you think you're here to bawl like a publican...
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Hardly, Sister. Certainly loud and clear, but I...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Or upset mothers with unhelpful remarks about their babies,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55I think your time would be better spent elsewhere.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Beg your pardon?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Here are your district patients for today.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I know Nurse Noakes will be relieved to have your support.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Sister Julienne, you know that I came to Nonnatus House
0:07:07 > 0:07:09specifically to enhance my midwifery.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I do. But needs must.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And, as our most recent addition to the staff,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17your transfer will be less of an upheaval for the mothers.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I will admit that midwifery's been quite the dizzying
0:07:21 > 0:07:23shift of tempo for me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25But I know that I can learn and adjust to it.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28For now, our decision must stand.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41There! Did you feel it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Jesus, he nearly had my hand off!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He'll be playing fly-half for Ulster one day.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48He? No. It'll be a girl
0:07:48 > 0:07:50and she'll have all the boys after her.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Just like her beautiful mother?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Declan, was it the right thing?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07To leave everything and come here?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Not everything. We still have each other.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15And we brought this little fella along.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28The receipt from the registry office. I paid them today.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It took a fair bite out of my first wage packet, though.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's what we agreed, Phoebe.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42Aye.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45In a grim wee room instead of us both at the altar.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Well, it's not our fault neither church will marry us!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I know. I just...
0:08:51 > 0:08:52I wish there was a way we could do it right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Maurice Glennon, get back in that bed!
0:09:27 > 0:09:28The nurse'll be here any minute.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Doreen, don't fret! I'll be back at work tomorrow.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's all very well them saying you need bed rest.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You should've been back at work days ago.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47KNOCKING
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Let the Nurse in, Gillian.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51They won't hold that job for you past this week.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54And trying to feed us on the sick club money's worse than
0:09:54 > 0:09:55when we used to have the ration book.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Doreen, we'll manage!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We always have, always will.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02He's just through here, Nurse.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Mrs Glennon. I'm Nurse Mount.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I hope your husband's been getting plenty of bed rest.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Haven't moved my backside off this mattress, have I, Gillian?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I understand a fall at work gave your back a very nasty jolt.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yes, off the ladder of his crane, Nurse.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19He's been off close to two months.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22A fractured "vert-i-bray". It's in his spine.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24You've got some competition there.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Gillian says she's going to be a nurse.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Any pain in the back still?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Nothing. I'm fit as a fiddle.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36The steroid injections Doctor Turner prescribed your husband seem to be doing their job.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38This should be the last.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40And then he can get back to work? We hope so.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Mr Glennon, how did you get that? Another accident at work?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56A souvenir from me army days.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I hope you've got a better touch than that other nurse.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I've had no complaints so far.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That's a lovely thing, Sister.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Isn't it? An exquisite cartography of the heavens.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I suppose some of these old instruments are a bit
0:11:18 > 0:11:21out of date now, what with recent scientific discoveries.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I think you'll find that old instruments,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30if they are of good quality, retain their value and purpose.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Neither this reliable globe nor I,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40though both old instruments,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42are by any means redundant.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh, of course not, Sister!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I didn't mean anything against you, Sister Monica Joan!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52You look like you're waiting to see the headmaster.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Almost.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I'm waiting to talk to Sister Julienne about arrangements
0:11:56 > 0:11:57for the harvest festival.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I have an idea to distribute boxes, like this one,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02into which people can place their donations.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The boxes are then collected by a whole team of volunteers
0:12:05 > 0:12:07just before the harvest festival celebration...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'd love to help, but today is terribly busy. And tomorrow.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13And then it's my first day off in quite a while, so...
0:12:13 > 0:12:17No, I wasn't for a moment trying to recruit you, Nurse Franklin.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Did you plunge headlong into the murky world of Mr Buckle?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Did you buy Fred's dodgy paint?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29No. No, I decided to heed your advice. Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Very wise.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Perhaps I could say a proper thank you, if you'd let me.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Would you care to join me for a lovely day watching some
0:12:39 > 0:12:40first-class cricket
0:12:40 > 0:12:42on your day off, unless you've plans?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I don't think I know the first thing about cricket.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Isn't it terribly complicated?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's just a man with a stick trying to hit a ball.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52The key ingredients are a splendid picnic hamper,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54a clear blue sky and...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Well, one's choice of companion.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I'd love to.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I think it will be rather lovely.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Ladies with the latest millinery,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11promenading in the members' enclosure!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Actually, I think you may be confusing it with Ascot.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Sipping long glasses of Pimm's and munching on strawberries.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19And Wimbledon.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23And I dare say we may hobnob with the great and the good.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Gosh! But what does one wear?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29What exactly are you doing, Sister?
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Making a sheaf loaf for the harvest festival. Or at least trying.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37My mother made it look so terribly easy.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Perhaps you're being just a little too ambitious, Sister Winifred.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43But you can't have a harvest festival without a sheaf loaf.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57# While I'm far away from you My baby
0:13:58 > 0:14:03# I know it's hard for you, my baby
0:14:04 > 0:14:09# Because it's hard for me, my baby
0:14:10 > 0:14:15# And the darkest hour is just before dawn
0:14:17 > 0:14:22# Each night before you go to bed My baby
0:14:24 > 0:14:28# Whisper a little prayer for me My baby
0:14:29 > 0:14:34# And tell all the stars above
0:14:35 > 0:14:39# This is dedicated to the one I love
0:14:42 > 0:14:45# This is dedicated to the one I love. #
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Peter, it's a minor matter. Just let the curate park his bus here.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54It is not a minor matter, Camilla. It is the law.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Yes, but it's not as if anyone killed anyone.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01If we let people pick and choose what laws to obey, what do we get?
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Anarchy. Yes, I know.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14HE COUGHS
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Mr Glennon, why are you out of bed?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Just let me have the chitty.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I said we might be able to sign you fit for return to work, but...
0:15:20 > 0:15:22You've a high temperature. It's probably close to 100.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24There'll be no work for you today.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27There'll be none all month if I don't get there and clock in.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Mr Glennon, where's your wife?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Stitching shirts at three shillings a box.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33You think I can lay in bed with that going on?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Mr Glennon, on to the bed with you right now!
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Gillian, I need you to telephone Dr Turner.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Tell him he must come quickly.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41We don't need the doctor coming!
0:15:41 > 0:15:45HE COUGHS
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's just a piece of paper to make it legal!
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Why is it so important we do it in a church?
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Because I want to take my vows under the eyes of God, not just the law!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I cannot see how anyone, raised the way we were,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58wouldn't want to turn their back on the whole thing!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's not just for us. It's for the baby!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02You think I'm not thinking about the baby?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06But if you want it to stay a bastard, that's fine!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Let's not get ourselves married!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Did you hear everything or would you like me to write it down for you?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I'm the midwife here to see Mrs Doyle.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Well, I didn't think you were Alma Cogan!
0:16:21 > 0:16:22I'll be out of your way.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And this is the rubber sheet to cover the bed with
0:16:30 > 0:16:32when the time comes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I thought you might be interested in coming to some of our Mothercraft classes.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44There's still time to learn a little about baby
0:16:44 > 0:16:46and get to know some other mothers.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47That'd be nice.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51I'm sorry about earlier.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Declan's not always so unpleasant.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56I'm quite sure he's not.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But it's not good for you or for baby to be getting upset
0:17:01 > 0:17:02and arguing like that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04We eloped.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Sounded more romantic than this.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I wanted a church wedding, but he's Catholic, I'm Protestant.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The two of us grew up on neighbouring streets in Belfast.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22We only met because of work.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Our parents didn't like it at all.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And then you got pregnant.
0:17:29 > 0:17:36Back home, a girl like me, pregnant and not married...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41..she has to hate herself for the shame she's brought to her family.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And with a boy from the other side?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51That's the world we ran away from.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Your father's very stubborn and foolish, Gillian.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00What if you'd fallen and damaged your back again?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You've a fever. You're wheezing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Your heart's banging like a barn door in a hurricane.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07What's the matter with him, Nurse?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Feel your father's pulse.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14His heart's working too hard and we need to find out why.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16KNOCKING
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Hello? Go on. Doctor!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Tell him I'm on the mend, Nurse. Please?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23That's for the doctor to decide.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Thank you for coming so promptly.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Mr Glennon,
0:18:28 > 0:18:32I hope you haven't been getting on the wrong side of Nurse Mount.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33I believe we've established who's boss.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42# Bringing in the sheaves Bringing in the sheaves
0:18:42 > 0:18:47# We shall come rejoicing Bringing in the sheaves. #
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Oh! That's interesting.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Old, but reliable.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07That's all.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13How long have you had this rash?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's nothing. Just itches a bit is all.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19And the chest is crackling.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Possibly a result of you spending so much time in bed.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25There you go. I should have been up and about days ago.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I'm going to prescribe you some antibiotics for your chest.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30We'll see how it responds.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You'll sign the chitty, though, won't you?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I can send Gillian with word I'll start work tomorrow.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I'm afraid you won't be going back to your job yet, Mr Glennon.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But I've got to! I got a family to feed!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Everyone gets into an awful tangle over this
0:19:47 > 0:19:49problem between the Catholics and the Protestants.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Obviously, the district round gives me plenty to get my teeth into.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53I've never really understood it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I mean, they both go to church and pray to the same God.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The point is, Sister Julienne knows I came to Nonnatus House to
0:19:59 > 0:20:00gain midwifery experience.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I told Phoebe Doyle she should go and talk to Tom Hereward
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and that he was very nice.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06And he is.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I don't know why you all thought he wasn't my type.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Think the only one who thought he wasn't was you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Now the problem is deciding how alluring one should make
0:20:16 > 0:20:17oneself for a date with a curate.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Oh!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31What a lovely thing.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I have a scarf this would go just perfectly with.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42What are you doing?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, I was just thinking this would make the perfect accessory and if...
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Would you not touch my private things again?
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Are we still not getting any post?
0:20:59 > 0:21:03None here, and apparently none at the surgery either.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05They say the strike could go on another week.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Can I show Colin my Airfix Supermarine Spitfire when he comes?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Do you have any time before your outing?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Have you got your packed lunch?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14And who's Colin?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It'll only take a minute. Yes, I have.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18And Colin's a new boy at school.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20KNOCKING That'll be Colin.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Hello! Come in. He's got his lunch. It's just through here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29This is Colin. Hello, Timothy's mum and dad.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Hello. Hello. No time to see the Spitfire.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Goodbye, Timothy's mum and dad.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Ah, yes. The cricketing jaunt.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I must say, I find Mr Hereward very agreeable.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Yes, so do I.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Perhaps he'll bowl a maiden over!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Excuse me?
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Fred tells me it's a cricket joke. Apparently, it's... it's quite funny.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02DOORBELL RINGS
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Hello. Good morning.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You look lovely. You look very nice.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I've had to make a change or two to the outing I had planned.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26A day at Lord's would be splendid,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29but the Oval at Vauxhall would be lovely, too.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30You see, I have done some homework.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Ah. Actually, we're going to Clacton-on-Sea.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Essex are at home to Warwickshire.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Clacton? And we'll be taking the bus.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Really? Just for the two of us?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Well, I'm afraid their trip to the zoo was cancelled
0:22:42 > 0:22:45at terribly short notice. Whose trip?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And we couldn't not give them a treat of some sort.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52# I want to be in that number
0:22:52 > 0:22:55# When the Saints go marching in. #
0:23:05 > 0:23:09WHISTLE BLOWS
0:23:09 > 0:23:12That'll be the nine o'clock shift starting.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I'm sorry you lost your job.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's not just the wages.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I hate seeing Doreen coming home so worn out.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22And I miss the work.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Being stuck in here, weeks on end, doing nothing.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28I can't stand to be idle, either.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34You wouldn't believe the view from the cab of my crane.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Everything so small down below.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Isn't it lonely? Up there all on your own?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Peaceful, I'd call it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46All alone, with your thoughts.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You'll be back up there. I promise you, you will.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It should be a terrific match.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yes, I'm looking forward to it(!)
0:24:13 > 0:24:15If the wicket offers some turn,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17then Bill Greensmith's googly ought to be quite a handful.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I'm very sorry,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23but you do know I haven't the first idea what any of that means?
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Nurse Trixie, Colin Monk's eaten all of his packed lunch
0:24:28 > 0:24:32and two spiders for a bet, and now he's been sick all over the floor!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44This will, at first, feel like a terribly awkward procedure
0:24:44 > 0:24:47but you'll have rather more chances to practise this little skill
0:24:47 > 0:24:48than you could ever imagine.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51The first objective, if at all possible,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54is to avoid jabbing the pin into young sir or,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57of course, young madam....
0:24:57 > 0:25:01whilst also avoiding injury to oneself.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I pity the poor wee things with us as mothers!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Oh, dear! Are you in a bit of a muddle?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Let's start again.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We won't miss the start of play, though, will we, Reverend?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I managed to mop up most of it,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22although the smell's lingering somewhat. How's the patient?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23HE RETCHES
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Now, I want you all here nice and promptly for our next class, ladies.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33We'll be unravelling the mysteries of breastfeeding.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43You look like you enjoyed yourself.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44I did.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48And you look all sweet, like we didn't have a hell of a row.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I'm here to apologise for that.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55You're forgiven.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Now, who could have taken things from a charity box?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Who indeed?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Sister Monica Joan, you didn't by any chance...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Ah!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Sister, these things were left as donations.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27Yes. Isn't that kind? But I mustn't keep them all to myself.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Mars is very tasty. Please help yourself to Saturn or Jupiter.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50HE TRIES TO START ENGINE
0:26:50 > 0:26:54It shouldn't take more than an hour to get back to Poplar,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56once you get this wreck started again.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58You think we should turn back?
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Well, yes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01But the cricket!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03We'll obviously miss the start of play, but I...
0:27:03 > 0:27:04I did promise the boys.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10# Wait for me
0:27:11 > 0:27:15# I love you only
0:27:15 > 0:27:17# Wait for me
0:27:18 > 0:27:20# And when you're lonely
0:27:21 > 0:27:24# In your dreams I'll walk beside you
0:27:24 > 0:27:28# You have my prayers to guide you
0:27:28 > 0:27:32# Just say you will wait for me
0:27:32 > 0:27:36# Wait for me
0:27:36 > 0:27:39# Through all the grey days
0:27:39 > 0:27:44# Soon they'll be just faraway days... #
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It's no good.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50There was a telephone box a mile or two back.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'll call for a mechanic while you look after the boys.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Really?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Reverend! Reverend! We found the cricket scores on your radio.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Trevor Bailey's 120 not out!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05I'll go to the phone box. You listen to the cricket.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09# How I long to put my arms around you
0:28:10 > 0:28:15# I'm thinking now about you
0:28:15 > 0:28:19# Every day, for sure I just love you more and more... #
0:28:19 > 0:28:21You may now kiss the bride.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23# Wait for me
0:28:23 > 0:28:27# I'll be returning
0:28:27 > 0:28:32# And the world will soon be learning
0:28:32 > 0:28:36# We were born to be together
0:28:36 > 0:28:39# Love like ours will last for ever
0:28:39 > 0:28:46# If you say you will wait for me. #
0:28:53 > 0:28:57What can I say? I am so sorry.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I'm sure it wasn't quite the day either of us had in mind.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07Perhaps we could try another outing, just the two of us.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Perhaps when I've had a little time to recover from this one.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I am disturbed by this ghostly apparition.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23It is very unsettling.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Oh!
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Oh!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Come along, young man. Your dad'll be home soon
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and we can't keep him waiting for his dinner.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44What is for dinner?
0:29:44 > 0:29:45Someone's feeling better!
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I have tried to tell him insects aren't good for the digestion.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Never mind. He seems fine now.
0:29:52 > 0:29:53And they've had such fun.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58Yes. I worry that Colin gets lonely sometimes, as an only child.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01I worry for Timothy, too.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Would you have liked another?
0:30:04 > 0:30:08He's actually my step-son. Dr Turner was widowed when we met.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13My husband and I couldn't have children of our own.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17But Colin's mum had died and he'd been put in foster care.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20He knows he's adopted.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22And we all know we're lucky.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And all the way along, the more love he's needed,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27the more love we've found.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28We haven't run out yet.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33But I will if he doesn't get a move on! Colin!
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Perseus and Cassiopeia.
0:30:43 > 0:30:49And between the two lies the Perseus Double Cluster. Remarkable!
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It's working all right, then?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Oh, it certainly is.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Gillian? You've got to come.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Dad said I wasn't to trouble you, but he's got really bad.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Where's your mother? Out at Mr Goldman's all day now
0:31:14 > 0:31:16cos somebody has to put food on the bloody table.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I can feel baby's head's engaged.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27I also need to go to the toilet a lot more now.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31That's because there's more pressure low down on your bladder.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34It all means baby's getting ready to come out and meet the world.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36The wee thing must have heard the news.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39It's official now.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Congratulations!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Not a church wedding.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Declan would've never've converted to my faith.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49So how does it feel to be Mrs Doyle?
0:31:49 > 0:31:50I'm married...
0:31:52 > 0:31:54..though I'm not sure I really feel it.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Nurse. Mr Doyle.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05I should say thank you for pushing Phoebe to go to these classes
0:32:05 > 0:32:09and for meeting other girls in her condition. She's full of it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12And spending less time thinking about making her peace with
0:32:12 > 0:32:13the Church. I must say,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16this whole business seems to bring her more grief than joy.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18If it was up to me, I'd shut all the churches.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Turn them into bingo halls. Something useful.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26But I know it's important to Phoebe.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Come on, now. Let's have you on your side.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32No more pills. They make me worse.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Hold on to him, Gillian.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Why isn't he getting any better?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Sometimes, what's wrong with someone stays
0:32:41 > 0:32:43a mystery for quite a while.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Did you get those scars fighting in the Far East, Mr Glennon?
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Gillian, why don't you pop next door and put the kettle on for us?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05They're scars for the treatment of leg ulcers, aren't they?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Treatment by doctors with no access to proper equipment.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Doctors in a prisoner of war camp.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21We were defending an airfield in Java when the Japs came.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Never had a chance.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31They sent us up the Straits of Malacca to build the Burma Railway.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36260 miles of track.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Eating rats and flies.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Fighting over a grain of rice.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50And you decided to act as if none of it had ever happened.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55HE COUGHS
0:34:03 > 0:34:05My mother,
0:34:05 > 0:34:11when there was a storm, she used to be sure to open the front door
0:34:11 > 0:34:12and the back door...
0:34:14 > 0:34:18..so the thunder and lightning would go straight through.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23"Don't let your misfortunes find a home," she'd tell me.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36It's about Mr Glennon, Doctor.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Yes? His condition is considerably worse.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41He's not responding to the antibiotics?
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Not at all. Mr Glennon was a prisoner of war in Burma.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Could it be some kind of tropical disease?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51It would be an extremely long incubation period.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5216 years.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Sister Monica Joan, have you seen this? You have to look.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's proper fascinating!
0:34:59 > 0:35:00The American satellite they sent up
0:35:00 > 0:35:05has taken the first ever photographs of planet Earth from space.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07What could be more fascinating than a first-hand
0:35:07 > 0:35:11account of Halley's Comet in 240 BC?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14I want nothing to do with it!
0:35:14 > 0:35:15But Sister...
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Do you not recall the catastrophe
0:35:16 > 0:35:20when the Gorgon saw herself in the mirror?
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Or how Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Well, yeah, but... I'm disappointed in you, Fred.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31I don't understand how you can't see that this is an abomination!
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Yes, yes. I think we have what we need.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38Goodbye.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40What did they say, Doctor?
0:35:40 > 0:35:44According to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in St Pancras,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47the time delay between contracting the disease
0:35:47 > 0:35:50and the appearance of symptoms isn't atypical.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Do they know what it could be?
0:35:52 > 0:35:56They think that what's causing the infections and sepsis
0:35:56 > 0:35:59in Mr Glennon's body is... Ah!
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Strongyoides Stercoralis.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02What on earth is that?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04A roundworm.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Its larva enters through the sole of the naked foot,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11then migrates through the circulation system to the lungs,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14crawling up the respiratory tract to be swallowed
0:36:14 > 0:36:17and make its home in the small intestine.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18But why is it active now?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21The steroid I prescribed.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23I'm told that there are cases where the injection has woken
0:36:23 > 0:36:25the worm and caused it to replicate.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30It's remarkable that you spotted it, Nurse Mount.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32What put you onto the right track?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I must have read something in a medical magazine.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37You know how these things stick in the mind.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47I fear the worst should I look upon that unholy image.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Absolutely, Sister.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53And yet, my crime, if crime it be...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57..is my weakness.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I can resist no more.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03This is our Earth?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07How ridiculous!
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Mr Glennon,
0:37:14 > 0:37:17we think the problem is something you picked up in Burma
0:37:17 > 0:37:20and it's lead to you developing pneumonia.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23We'll need to take you to hospital for tests and observation.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31He never told me a thing about his time in a prison camp.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33It's not an uncommon thing
0:37:33 > 0:37:36for someone to keep an experience like this to themselves.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39And there's me been pushing him to be getting back to work.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I can't help thinking this is all my fault.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46No. It's not, is it, Nurse Patsy?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49It's not Mum. It's the infection making him sick.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52That's right.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56And that's why your dad is going to need a lot of help to make him better.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Help from both of us.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23HE SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Spitfires weren't bombers, Tim. They were fighter planes!
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Pedant!
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Somebody's expanding their vocabulary.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I made a new friend yesterday.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Did you? Jean Monk, Colin's mother.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Colin?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Cub Colin. Ah, yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Jean was telling me that Colin is adopted.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Really?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52You know what I'm going to say, don't you?
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I know how much you want a baby
0:38:57 > 0:39:01and I think you know how much I'd like one, too.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02I really don't believe I'd have to carry
0:39:02 > 0:39:06a child inside my body for it to feel like ours.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10If I felt that, it would mean that loving Timothy has taught me nothing!
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Shelagh, if you want to adopt, we can look into adopting.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Really? Really.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21I know as little about this from a parent's perspective as you do.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24But we can work it out together.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26First time for both of us.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Just hope Timothy agrees.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33People have responded
0:39:33 > 0:39:36so generously with donations for the harvest festival.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Mr Hereward is a breath of fresh air, isn't he?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Yes. He's quite a chap.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45He's very good at making more work for us in our busiest times.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50His harvest festival parcels aren't going to wrap themselves.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Sister Monica Joan, I think Fred rather thinks he's upset you again.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Something about a photograph.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Oh, no. No.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Fred has the foolish idea that the mystery of the stars
0:40:05 > 0:40:08and planets is a fragile thing.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10PHONE RINGS
0:40:12 > 0:40:16We have to realise that we have nothing at all to fear from science.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21PHONE RINGS
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Patsy? We thought you were coming back for pudding.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Sister Monica Joan is starting to chew the cutlery!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Telephone call. It was about Mr Glennon.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05The chap you thought had some sort of tropical disease?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06And I was right.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Only Dr Turner says the recovery rates aren't at all high.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19But you gave him a chance. And that's the thing to remember.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23How did you even know to consider such an exotic thing?
0:41:23 > 0:41:24Because of the scars on his legs.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28I've seen them before.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Until I was nine-years-old,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I was living a life of privilege in Singapore.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41Two weeks later, my mother, sister and I were separated from my father
0:41:41 > 0:41:44and put in a Japanese internment camp.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48We were beaten and tortured for the slightest misdemeanours.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I have so few things to remember my family by.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54They took everything from us.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01There was a makeshift hospital. Just another hut.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05I was still a child but I felt drawn to it, helped where I could.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12You never forget what dreadful cruelty people are capable of.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19War leaves us all a lot poorer than it finds us, doesn't it?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Everyone has their story.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28But we can't let it affect our work.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29We have to rise above it.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Why? Why must I rise above it?
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Oh, Patsy, come down and...
0:42:33 > 0:42:37I saw my sister and mother die of disease and malnutrition!
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Patsy, I had no idea. I'm so sorry.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42And I'm sorry if everyone thinks that I lack compassion.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43They know you don't.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46But sometimes patients need to see that you care.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49In the hell I grew up in, what was important was what we did,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52not some great show of sentiment and emotion.
0:43:03 > 0:43:04So, fire away.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08If you did adopt a little sister or brother,
0:43:08 > 0:43:10would I have to share my bedroom?
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Do you want to? No.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Would I still get the same pocket money? I wouldn't get half?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20No. You wouldn't get half.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Could they play piano at the choir practice
0:43:24 > 0:43:26so I could play cricket instead?
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I think that's a possibility.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31So, what's the verdict?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35I think...it would be good.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52Good morning!
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Wherever she was going, she seemed in a terrific hurry.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59Who's that?
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Nurse Mount.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03She's been gone for several hours now.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06She hasn't cleared her rota or told anyone when she might return.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Patsy was up and out first thing and nobody's heard from her since.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11It means that Chummy's single-handed again on the district rota
0:44:11 > 0:44:13and having to cover for her.
0:44:20 > 0:44:21She was in a prison camp.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26And at nine-years-old.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28It must have been unimaginably awful.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30We had a bit of a set-to.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32She seemed to think none of us really understood her.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35And now nobody knows where she's gone.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38Do you fear that she might have left Nonnatus House altogether?
0:44:38 > 0:44:41I did. But all of her clothes are still in her wardrobe.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43PHONE RINGS
0:44:46 > 0:44:50Yes. You just need to calm down a little and...
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Mr Doyle...
0:44:54 > 0:44:55Mr Doyle, could you just tell me,
0:44:55 > 0:44:57have your wife's waters actually broken?
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Heart rate's nice and steady.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Baby's obviously ready to come and see the world.
0:45:16 > 0:45:17Breathe deeply.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Push a little. Not too hard.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52SHE SCREAMS
0:45:54 > 0:45:57SHE SCREAMS
0:45:57 > 0:45:58I can't do it any more.
0:45:58 > 0:46:02You can. A small gentle push for me, Phoebe.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05SHE SCREAMS
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Ahh... help me!
0:46:06 > 0:46:08You're doing wonderfully.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11Just keep calm and breathe.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12It won't be long now.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18SHE SCREAMS
0:46:20 > 0:46:22Here comes your baby, Phoebe.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Gently now. Gently.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27SHE SCREAMS
0:46:28 > 0:46:31And the head's out! Shoulders are coming.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34SHE SCREAMS
0:46:40 > 0:46:41It's a boy!
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Hello, wee fella!
0:47:07 > 0:47:09We just need to wait for the placenta now, Phoebe.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Would you like to meet your son, Mr Doyle?
0:47:25 > 0:47:29Mr Doyle, just one moment, please.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Isn't he beautiful?
0:47:36 > 0:47:38He's the best thing I ever saw.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41Cynthia...
0:47:45 > 0:47:48..baby's not pinking up quite as much as he should.
0:47:48 > 0:47:49Oh.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53I'll try the mucus extractor.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54Is something wrong?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Baby's breathing is a little laboured.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00What does that mean?
0:48:00 > 0:48:01It's all right, Phoebe.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05Nurse Franklin just needs to help baby get his breathing started properly.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Declan, didn't I say about him not kicking?
0:48:08 > 0:48:12Shh. Settle now. The midwives know what they're doing.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14I'm just going to rub his back for a few moments.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Declan!
0:48:16 > 0:48:18I'm scared we're going to lose him.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Oh, God! And I feared for his soul!
0:48:25 > 0:48:26Declan!
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Mr Doyle, your wife needs you here!
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Please tell me he'll be all right!
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Sometimes, baby needs a little encouragement
0:48:35 > 0:48:38when he comes into the world.
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Let me hold him, please?
0:48:40 > 0:48:42I need to hold him.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44I need to wrap him in another blanket to keep him nice and warm.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Don't hold him too tightly. We have to let him breathe.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Your little boy may need the help of a specialist baby unit.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07I'll let Doctor know and telephone for an ambulance.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18Reverend!
0:49:20 > 0:49:21Reverend!
0:49:24 > 0:49:25Reverend, please!
0:49:25 > 0:49:28You have to come. It's my baby! Of course.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Come on!
0:49:29 > 0:49:32The ambulance will be here very soon
0:49:32 > 0:49:34and the hospital will do everything that they can.
0:49:39 > 0:49:40Reverend Hereward?
0:49:40 > 0:49:41Nurse Franklin.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43I brought the priest, Phoebe. How is he?
0:49:46 > 0:49:48They want to take him to the hospital.
0:49:50 > 0:49:51But I can't let him go.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54Not yet, Reverend.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Not yet.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00Would you like me to christen your son, Mrs Doyle?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Would you do that?
0:50:02 > 0:50:04With your permission, Nurse.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11You have a beautiful baby, Mrs Doyle. Do you have a name for him?
0:50:14 > 0:50:15James Declan.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26James Declan...
0:50:27 > 0:50:29..I baptise thee in the name of the Father...
0:50:32 > 0:50:33..and of the Son...
0:50:36 > 0:50:37..and of the Holy Ghost.
0:50:40 > 0:50:41Amen.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57We humbly beseech thee to grant, that as he is now made partaker
0:50:57 > 0:51:02in the death of thy Son, that he may be also of his resurrection.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06And finally, with the residue of the Saints,
0:51:06 > 0:51:09that he may inherit thine everlasting Kingdom,
0:51:09 > 0:51:16through the same, thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen. Amen.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18BABY CRIES SOFTLY
0:51:20 > 0:51:21The ambulance is here.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36I've made what enquiries I could at the station about Nurse Mount.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I... I dropped in at the London
0:51:38 > 0:51:40to see if she'd gone to see Maurice Glennon.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42We must remember that some of the most brusque amongst us
0:51:42 > 0:51:44are also the most kind-hearted.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47No accident involving a nurse has been reported.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51She's very capable. I hope we're all worrying about nothing.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53She has no right to make us feel frantic like this.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55Honestly, I could give her a slap!
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Sister, please!
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Nurse Mount!
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Are you all right?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Where've you been?
0:52:02 > 0:52:04I set off first thing for the Hospital of Tropical Diseases
0:52:04 > 0:52:06at St Pancras. And they told me there was
0:52:06 > 0:52:09a doctor who'd written a paper on Strongyloidiasis.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11Didn't you think to tell anyone where you'd gone?
0:52:11 > 0:52:14So I tracked him down and he said there was a specialist
0:52:14 > 0:52:17trialling a new drug at the Liverpool School of Tropical Disease.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19But because of the postal strike, I thought
0:52:19 > 0:52:22I should go up there and get the medication myself. To Liverpool?
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Fortunately I had my emergency five pound note in my purse.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29The medication is American. Dithiazanine.
0:52:29 > 0:52:30I need to get these to Maurice Glennon.
0:52:30 > 0:52:34No, you do not. You need to rest after the day you've had.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36I can take those.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Thank you.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41What you need is a nice, long bath.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43I'll go and get that sorted right away.
0:52:50 > 0:52:51Busy day?
0:52:51 > 0:52:52A landmark day!
0:52:52 > 0:52:56We are now completely up to date with the polio vaccination programme.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58That's wonderful, Patrick. Well done.
0:53:00 > 0:53:04Meanwhile, I haven't been entirely idle.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07I called in at the Church Of England Children's Society,
0:53:07 > 0:53:10asking about the possibility of adoption.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14And? And I was made extremely welcome!
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Tea in a china pot and some very superior biscuits.
0:53:18 > 0:53:23I think they quite like the idea of us - a GP and a retired midwife!
0:53:23 > 0:53:26As a first step, we have to fill in all of these forms,
0:53:26 > 0:53:29then, if all's well, we'll progress to interview.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32We'll be filling these in for a week!
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Quite right, too.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38As the lady said, the children have already got off to a sorry start in life.
0:53:38 > 0:53:43They need the very best parents the agency can find them.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46I don't know why they need to know half of this stuff.
0:53:46 > 0:53:49I've never seen so many questions.
0:53:49 > 0:53:50Quite.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53No, I'm sorry, Shelagh. You've rushed into this.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56There are plenty of adoption charities
0:53:56 > 0:53:58and we should talk to them all,
0:53:58 > 0:54:00find out what conditions they impose.
0:54:00 > 0:54:03No-one's imposing any conditions.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05They just want to know who we are.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Well, it's perfectly obvious who we are!
0:54:08 > 0:54:11Patrick, we're filling these forms in tonight!
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Some babies are slow to take the deep breaths they need.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21They have to be given oxygen for a while.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23And is that all that's wrong with the baby?
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Well, we have to hope there's no serious cardiac problem.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29But quite often, the problem sorts itself out.
0:54:29 > 0:54:30Really? How?
0:54:31 > 0:54:36Once a baby has to breathe on its own, the heart can heal itself.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40And what about grown-ups?
0:54:40 > 0:54:43Can their hearts heal themselves, too, Nurse Franklin?
0:54:44 > 0:54:48I think so. Trixie. Please.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Tom.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Very glad to meet you. Pleased to meet you.
0:54:57 > 0:54:58Oh, look at that.
0:55:01 > 0:55:02The harvest moon.
0:55:05 > 0:55:06KNOCKING
0:55:09 > 0:55:10Am I forgiven?
0:55:10 > 0:55:12What on earth for?
0:55:12 > 0:55:16Everyone's being awfully careful around me all of a sudden.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20Well, the last time I saw you, you were rather angry with me.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Only cos you were right.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26There's nothing worse than having an argument with someone who's right.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30I think it's time for an Advocaat. Don't you?
0:55:51 > 0:55:55For you. It's a harvest festival parcel.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59We need to build you up and get you back to work.
0:55:59 > 0:56:00You've given me enough.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06One of the nuns came. Big woman.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13She told me what happened to you as a girl.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16I didn't suffer any more than you.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Don't let it eat you up for the rest of your life.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Remember what I said. Next time there's a storm...
0:56:27 > 0:56:29..you need to leave open both doors.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Don't let your misfortunes find a home.
0:56:40 > 0:56:41'History needn't be a trap.
0:56:43 > 0:56:48'We can escape its web and shake off its weight of pain.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54'We can change our minds
0:56:54 > 0:56:56'and open up our hearts.
0:56:59 > 0:57:03'We can let forgiveness speak and allow it to be heard...
0:57:14 > 0:57:18'..let friendship flourish and let love in...
0:57:20 > 0:57:24'..so it might feed and sustain us all our days.'
0:57:25 > 0:57:28THEY CLAP
0:57:30 > 0:57:32# Shine on
0:57:32 > 0:57:35# Shine on, harvest moon

0:57:48 > 0:57:50Oh, Camilla!
0:57:50 > 0:57:51You always were a stomper.
0:57:52 > 0:57:55You... You ain't supposed to come here.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57Mrs Saint, whatever are you doing? I have to clean her.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59I have to sterilise everything.
0:57:59 > 0:58:00You're embarrassed by our home?
0:58:02 > 0:58:05Trixie can have the pick of any man she wants. I have two left feet.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08I won't live with this between us, Patrick.
0:58:10 > 0:58:11I saw you. With Tom.
0:58:11 > 0:58:19# I ain't had no loving since January, February, June or July
0:58:19 > 0:58:26# Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
