0:00:37 > 0:00:42'Not everyone in Poplar was moving to the brand-new homes in the sky.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'Countless streets and tenements
0:00:45 > 0:00:49'were still home to sprawling close-knit families...'
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Angie, can you do me a favour?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55'..whose roots were deeply sunk in East End soil.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00'They preferred to do without more modern conveniences
0:01:00 > 0:01:04'in favour of a place where the neighbours were cousins,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06'in-laws, siblings, aunts.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Yeah, it's clean, in you go.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22'Where no door was locked,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25'where each house held familiar comfort
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'and the reassurance of a loving touch.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30'They felt so safe.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Go on, then.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Go on, then, help yourselves.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Take that round to Stan.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Go on, hurry up, you're going to be late.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00That's it, Jeanette. Big push. You can do it.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- I can't! I can't! Tell her, Nana Meg!- Of course you can, love.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I can't wait to meet my first great-grandchild.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I have your baby's head!
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Now I need another one, just like that!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31BABY CRIES
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Well done, Jeanette!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Well done, it's a beautiful girl.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's a little girl, Kath!
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Girl!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Our Jeanette's had a little girl, Stan.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08That's me a great-grandma now.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Bloody hell! Not another one of you lot!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Are you not eating that? - No, I'm a bit off.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17You got any Syrup of Figs over there?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I'll have a look. Maybe you'll feel hungry by lunchtime, eh?- Yeah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Hey, Meg.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Lovely about the baby.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Auntie Meg...what's it look like?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37The baby...? Is it...?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well, you know.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43SHE is beautiful.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And she looks like my great-granddaughter.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Do you have a name for her? - Marina.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Because her daddy had to cross the sea to find us.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I said it must be after the water in the Limehouse Basin!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I've been here since I was six!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You're an old romantic, ain't you, girl?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Everyone sends their love.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Even old Stan nearly cracked a smile.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14You ready for a sandwich yet?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, no, Nana, I couldn't eat a thing.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19It must be lovely having everyone so close by.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Do you know what, Nurse? It is.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You don't get that in them fancy new flats, do you?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I'm 63 years old and I've never spent a day on me own in me life.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Wouldn't want to neither, would I?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34It's Marina Margaret, Nana Meg. Middle name's after you.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Hello! Long night?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Not really, Mrs Lovell's ninth.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Morning! Ooh!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Morning, Sister. Do you need a hand?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Oh, I have a little helper waiting.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Thank you, Irene!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Are you off on your rounds?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm actually going to collect my ill-gotten gains from gambling.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The vicar's wife sold me a ticket to the WI raffle
0:05:07 > 0:05:09and I appear to have won a meal
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- in an Indian restaurant in the West End.- Oh.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Rather embarrassing actually.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16No, lucky you!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Gosh, how exotic.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21We were given some Indian food once by a patient.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I'm rather jealous. - Come with me, then.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25It's a table for two.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Me?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Unless you didn't like the food the patient brought?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31No, no, it was delicious.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Well, that's arranged.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45What was it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Oh. A boy.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Enjoy your day off!- I will.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00That's it, round, round.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16BELL RINGS
0:06:17 > 0:06:20What do we say to Sister Winifred?!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23ALL: Thank you, Sister Win-i-fred.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Thank for all your hard work.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Class dismissed.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You're so good with them.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37You must've made a marvellous teacher.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Oh, I think that would be overstating it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43But I did enjoy the work. As do you - I can tell.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Do you miss it?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Sorry, that's rather personal.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Well, I have no regrets about the path I chose.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55But I have to admit, this time with the children is lovely.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Of course midwifery is all about children too.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59THUD >
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, Miss Whitmore!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I feel very silly. I probably just stood up too quickly.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Possibly. But your pulse is still rather rapid.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Is it your monthly period, by any chance?- No.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Your cycle is regular?- Usually.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Maybe a little off recently.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It happens sometimes.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Oh, you are slightly clammy. May I?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Oh!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35There you go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Gosh, how embarrassing.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Probably picked something up off one of the children.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53You know what it's like.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Is this happening a lot, Miss Whitmore?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Once or twice. It's nothing.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Miss Whitmore, when you said your cycle was irregular,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06did you mean your periods were late or more frequent or...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09..not happening at all?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15The last one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Miss Whitmore, I'm sorry, but you understand I have to ask.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Is there any chance at all that...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27you might be pregnant?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, dear.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Hello, Fred!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, no!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Everything all right, Sister?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57I was hoping for Fred.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Someone has to tell him
0:08:59 > 0:09:02to bring some more of his wife's home-made jam.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It all seems to have disappeared!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I just saw him. I'm sure he won't be long.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Well, I hope not!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It's quite small, I know, but I hope you'll be happy here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21I certainly was.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24It's perfect. Thank you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Hello.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I saw the bags.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I'm afraid there's quite a lot to tidy away.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, luckily that's my forte.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I'm sorry, I can see that this has come as a shock
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and I expect you'll want some time to discuss this with your...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50your fiance.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- In the meantime... - He isn't my fiance.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That won't affect the care you get from us.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01I am going to give you some iron tablets,
0:10:01 > 0:10:08but, otherwise, I'm pleased to say, things look very healthy.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Thank you.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'm so stupid!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I know it isn't ideal, but we're here to help you.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Please don't tell anyone at school.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I would never reveal a patient's private information.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36But...you're going to have to give them a reason...
0:10:38 > 0:10:39..for leaving.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Miss Whitmore, even a married lady wouldn't be allowed
0:10:44 > 0:10:48to continue teaching if she were expecting. You know that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And in your situation, it would be quite impossible.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54But I need to work.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- And I love my job.- I'm sure, when you talk to your boyfriend,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01he'll want to do the right thing.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03It really doesn't have to be the end of the world.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08He's married.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Oh.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20You must be exhausted now!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I must be. I don't feel it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25There.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I've waited such a long time to sit beside you
0:11:31 > 0:11:33looking at a bunch of flowers in a vase.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Under the same roof at last.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Just you and me...
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and Trixie...and...
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Barbara...and...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Nurse...- Nurse Crane. And quite a few nuns!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It's a beautiful dress.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Thank you. I didn't need it, of course, but I couldn't resist.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I haven't exactly been a social butterfly
0:12:05 > 0:12:06since I broke it off with Tom.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- I think I'm turning into a middle-aged spinster.- No!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13A fate worse than death, I'm sure.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Oh, I didn't mean...
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I just occasionally feel as though I'm destined never to go out again!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Of course you will.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I know that, really.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Do you ever...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Do you ever wish you hadn't broken it off with Tom?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35No. We're much better suited as friends.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And hopefully we'll both find other people one day.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Of course you will, Trixie.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45There.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50You look absolutely wonderful.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Miss Whitmore! Is everything all right?
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Yes, fine, thank you. Sorry, Mrs Tucker, I won't be long.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I hope not, young lady.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08That lovely fried egg is congealing on the plate.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12RETCHING >
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Midwife.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, Nurse. I'm so glad you're here.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27KNOCK AT DOOR
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Oh, don't come in, Benny!
0:13:30 > 0:13:31It's Nurse Mount, Jeanette.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Ohh!- How long has she been like this?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Started feeling poorly early hours.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I called the doctor and she's on the list,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- but I think she's getting worse. - An infection maybe.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Sometimes they develop a few days after giving birth.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Oh! Oh...! Nana!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- BENNY:- What is it?- Go away!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Nana, I don't want him to see me like this...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Don't worry love. I'll sort it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I-I'll give him something to do.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03All right, Stan?
0:14:06 > 0:14:07What are you doing here?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- I brought you something. - I ain't hungry.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Come on, got to keep your strength up.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Pass me my teeth, then.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Just try to take a sip.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Just a little.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41She's very dehydrated, Mrs Mahoney.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I don't think we can wait for Dr Turner.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45What's she doing with her hand?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Mrs Mahoney, could you go call an ambulance, please?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Look...it's early.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10It might not...you know...happen.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I'm sorry, but it's true, isn't it?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And sometimes...if you have the money...
0:15:20 > 0:15:24there are things that you can, you know...do.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What are you saying?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30You'd send me to some butcher in a back alley?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32No! Not like that, of course not.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36A proper doctor. I've heard that in Harley Street there are...
0:15:37 > 0:15:39You know...
0:15:41 > 0:15:42And do you?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Have the money?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I expect not.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51No.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Neither do I.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05You were wearing that dress the first day I met you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08I know.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I have to get back.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17My upper sixth have an exam.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Jeremy...
0:16:27 > 0:16:29We still love each other, don't we?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Of course.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40You have a beautiful daughter.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45I'm delighted to say she seems absolutely healthy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48What's she going to do without her mum?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I know it must be very worrying,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53but I'm sure they'll find out why your wife is sick
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and get her home to you as soon as they can.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59In the meantime, you are both in expert hands.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Mrs Mahoney has cared for a lot of babies.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I certainly have, Doctor.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We'll be all right, love.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I'll take that key, thank you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21What?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27You went through my things!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30This is a respectable establishment. Miss Whitmore.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- I've just paid next month's rent. - Which will serve in lieu of notice.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mrs Tucker, I don't have enough money...
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I'm sure your gentleman friend will help you out.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47You should be ashamed of yourself, you little madam.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52So should you, Mrs Tucker. At least I'm not a thief!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I think you should ask Sister Julienne
0:17:59 > 0:18:03to take you off other midwifery duties until we know what this is.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05If it's what you suspect,
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- then we want to minimise the chance of contamination.- I will.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15I hope I'm wrong, but the only time I've seen those pink spots...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18that plucking movement on the sheets
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- was with my mother and sister in the prison camp.- Typhoid.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26We say nothing until we know for sure.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29No sense in spreading panic. But we should be ready.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's Dorothy.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'm sorry to call you at home, but I need...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49'I'm sorry, madam, I think you have the wrong number.'
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Jeremy, I know you can't talk, but listen...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- 'Quite all right. Goodbye.' - Jeremy, please...
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I mean, it's not "going out" going out, I'm sure.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17It's just he's won a meal in a raffle and he's got to take someone.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20It's just I don't want to upset Trixie.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23The best thing you can do is to tell her straight out,
0:19:23 > 0:19:24just like you told me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29In my experience, it's the withholding of information
0:19:29 > 0:19:32that could lead to... misunderstanding.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I expect you're right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38How do you know it isn't "going out" going out?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Well, I don't...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42I don't think it...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think, if it wasn't, you might not be so concerned.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Look at these beauties!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Summer on a little green stalk!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Mmm. Delicious, Fred.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I'll pick you some, Mr Hereward. Oh, and I got you this.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05My Violet's strawberry jam.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Nectar of the gods.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09If she let me sell it, I'd make a fortune.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11And don't tell Sister Monica Joan.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Are you sure you can spare all this, Fred?- You could do with feeding up.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Unlike meself. Married life's wonderful,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19but good for the waistline it ain't.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, you seem to be thriving on it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Yeah, I'm in the pink!
0:20:23 > 0:20:27D'you know what? I never thought I'd remarry.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I always thought you had one chance at it and that's it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35Then you see someone that's been there all the time and...bingo!
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Funny old world, innit?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40It is.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, Mr Hereward, I've got a bone to pick with you!
0:20:44 > 0:20:49I hear you won the meal up the West End in the WI raffle.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- I was after that!- If you'd've asked me a couple of days ago, Fred,
0:20:52 > 0:20:53you could've had it, and welcome.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57But I'm afraid I've asked Nurse Gilbert to come along.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Well, I never.

0:21:14 > 0:21:15If it is typhoid,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19we have the list of registered carriers at the surgery.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21No-one else in the family seems ill?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Not as far as I know.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But the extended family's huge.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Patsy, even if you're right,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31the antibiotic treatment now is really effective.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Typhoid isn't like it was when... - I know that, Delia!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'm talking about the prevention of spread.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Who wants toast?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Actually, I think I'm going to go and read my book.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Patsy! That was really rude!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- Poor Delia was only trying to help. - I know.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04If I'd had a rotten day like yours, I expect I'd be tetchy too.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Have some of Violet's jam
0:22:06 > 0:22:08before Sister Monica Joan gets her hands on it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Then go and say sorry to our new housemate.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Miss Whitmore!
0:22:20 > 0:22:25I'm sorry, Sister. I...I didn't know where else to go.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Sister Julienne is telephoning the Women's Hostel.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50That's very kind.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02They have a place for you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It may be rather more spartan than you're used to,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08but it's economical and will be safe and adequate, I'm sure.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Thank you, Sister. I'm very grateful.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You're welcome, Miss Whitmore.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15BELL RINGS
0:23:15 > 0:23:18If you would excuse us now, my sisters and I must go into compline.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Yes, of course.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Sorry.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I knew you were thinking about your mother and sister,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16but I would never have mentioned them.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I know how difficult it is for you to talk about the camp.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- I've been thinking about them all day.- Of course you have!
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It must've brought back so many awful memories.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I so wanted to let you comfort me.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36But I didn't know how to do it with the others there.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Patsy, if me being here makes you uncomfortable, I can go.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- I'm sure I'd find somewhere...- No!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I don't want that. I want you here.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I nearly lost you once already.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54But you didn't.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Can I help you?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I think we're on District together this morning, Trixie.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Not necessarily. There have been one or two changes this morning.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And I've been talking with Dr Turner.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I'm afraid Mrs Su's typhoid diagnosis
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- has been confirmed by the London. - Oh, no!
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Nurse Mount, you did exceptionally well
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- in getting her to the hospital when you did.- Hear, hear.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Thank you, Sister Julienne. - As you've already been exposed,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24you'll continue to work with Dr Turner and the family
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and you'll be removed from other midwifery duties as a precaution.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Yes, Sister.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Sister, the other residents of the Croxford Buildings
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- will need to be informed. - Of course, Sister.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37This is all very worrying, of course.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But if we identify the source quickly,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I have high hopes that this will remain an isolated case.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Nurse Crane.- Thank you, Sister.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Nurse Gilbert, home visits.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Nurse Franklin, you're on District, as expected.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00KNOCKING ON DOOR < Come on, hurry up!
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Yes, yes, sorry.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Sister? Now that Miss Whitmore is at the women's hostel,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15we're no longer her nearest practice.
0:28:15 > 0:28:16Should I send her records on?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Has she requested that we do?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22I just thought that with Sister Evangelina away
0:28:22 > 0:28:24and Nurse Mount unable to take midwifery cases,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27it might, well, ease the load a little.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Is something troubling you, Sister?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35I noticed last night that you were a little more subdued than usual.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Sorry.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38It's not a criticism.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46I know that we're here to help without judgment, but...
0:28:48 > 0:28:51..but I'm struggling to do so in Miss Whitmore's case.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53You've dealt with unmarried mothers before.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55And with great compassion.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57They were...
0:29:00 > 0:29:02..less like me!
0:29:04 > 0:29:10To be a teacher is a privilege and a great responsibility!
0:29:10 > 0:29:16And to..have an affair, with a married man, is...
0:29:16 > 0:29:20An error of judgment. For which she is paying a heavy price.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Rather heavier, I imagine, than that paid by the gentleman involved.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Yes, Sister Julienne.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Your loyalty to your former profession is laudable, Sister,
0:29:32 > 0:29:36but remember, you're no longer a teacher, you're a midwife.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Therefore, Miss Whitmore is simply a mother.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56CHILDREN: Miss Whitmore!
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Yes, yes, I'm here! Come on, sit back down, sit back down!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Miss Whitmore?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I'm awfully sorry I'm late, Miss Dawkins.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Could you go and wait outside my office, please?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Miss Lewis will mind your class.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Mr Roberts? It's Sister Mary Cynthia. District Nurse.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Stan?!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39They won't even let me see her.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I'm afraid when something is this infectious, patients are kept in isolation.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46I mean, typhoid! I thought that went out with the Ark!
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Or at least the war.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52It is unusual nowadays. In this country, at any rate.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Mrs Su must've eaten or drunk something
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- infected by a carrier of the bacteria.- Poor Jeanette.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02Typhoid doesn't have to mean what it once did, Mrs Mahoney.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Not with these new medicines.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Exactly, Nurse Mount.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07However, it is a serious illness
0:31:07 > 0:31:10and we want to prevent it spreading to anyone else if we can.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13We'll be keeping a close eye on the rest of you,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15while we try to find out
0:31:15 > 0:31:18where Mrs Su might have picked the infection up.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20There is a blood test I can run
0:31:20 > 0:31:24which will let us know if the bacteria is likely to be present.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27In the meantime, the best thing you can do to protect yourselves
0:31:27 > 0:31:29is to be extremely careful about washing your hands
0:31:29 > 0:31:32after using the lavatory and before touching food.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35That's it? That's the best you've got? Wash your hands?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- In 1961, for a killer disease? - Give it a rest, Angie.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41It ain't killing anyone. Weren't you listening?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Yeah, I was! He said we don't hardly get typhoid in England!
0:31:44 > 0:31:46It's probably you what infected her.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Gawd knows what your lot brought in with them.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- I think everybody... - Benny, stay where you are!
0:31:51 > 0:31:56I don't want to hear another crack like that come out of your mouth, my girl.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Benny is family and that's not how we treat family.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Not in my house.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02So you apologise to him or get out now.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Sorry, Benny.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13This family always faces things together.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16If we don't, everything falls apart.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Dr Turner, could I borrow you for a moment, please?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Yes, of course, Sister.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Two pink spots on his abdomen.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Let's see what the post mortem says.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Miss Whitmore?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I believe a gentleman delivered this to Mrs Tucker's home this morning.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Mrs Tucker and I had a disagreement...- Miss Whitmore,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47we expect all our staff to be of exemplary moral character.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50A serious allegation has been made.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I would like you to tell me whether or not it's true.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58I'd rather not have to ask you to open your letter.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03If I could just stay until the end of term?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's only a few more weeks.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'm sorry, Miss Whitmore. You know that won't be possible.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12I have to ask you to leave with immediate effect.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Can I say goodbye to the children?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I don't think that would be a good idea.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Anything you can tell me about what she ate at the time would help.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- I'll do me best.- Thank you.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Did Stan have typhoid? That's what they're all saying.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50No, love. Stan weren't like Jeanette.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Stan was knocking back Syrup of Figs like lemonade.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56I'm afraid that doesn't rule it out, Mrs Mahoney.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Typhoid is complicated.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Sometimes two people can have completely different symptoms.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Do you think Angie's right? Could it be me?
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Do you think I picked it up in China as a kid?
0:35:08 > 0:35:09I made Stan a sandwich the other day.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13If Mr Roberts was infected, it wasn't just the other day.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It would've been around the same time as your wife,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17possibly from the same source.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19MUSIC: Take Good Care Of My Baby by Bobby Vee
0:35:19 > 0:35:21# My tears are falling
0:35:21 > 0:35:24# Cos you've taken her away
0:35:24 > 0:35:29# And though it really hurts me so
0:35:29 > 0:35:33# There's something that I've gotta say
0:35:34 > 0:35:39# Take good care of my baby
0:35:40 > 0:35:43# Please don't ever make her blue
0:35:45 > 0:35:48# Just tell her that you love her
0:35:48 > 0:35:51# Make sure you're thinking of her
0:35:51 > 0:35:55# In every thing you say and do
0:35:57 > 0:36:01# Take good care of my baby
0:36:03 > 0:36:06# Now don't you ever make her cry
0:36:08 > 0:36:11# Just let your love surround her
0:36:11 > 0:36:14# Paint a rainbow all around her
0:36:14 > 0:36:18# Don't let her see a cloudy sky... #
0:36:20 > 0:36:22We've missed the lab collection.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25I can take them up there. I'm not allowed to work in clinic anyway.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27The clinic!
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- D'you mind?- No. - Thank you so much.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And can you tell them it's urgent?
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Mm-hm.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Can I help you?
0:36:53 > 0:36:58Sorry. I'm Nurse Mount, I'm Mrs Su's midwife. How is she?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59We've managed to re-hydrate her,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03but it'll take another 24 hours for the Chloramphenicol to take effect.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Really, it all depends on whether we can get her through that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19What does one wear to an Indian restaurant?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Well, I don't expect you have to wear a sari or anything.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26Just wear what you'd wear to any other meal out.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Well, I don't have a lot of experience of meals out.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31With a man.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Not any, actually.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I don't really know what to do.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39One of the drawbacks of being a vicar's daughter.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Unless your dining companion happens to be a vicar.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43KNOCK AT DOOR
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Can I come in? Trixie's out like a light...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Goodness, what's going on in here?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Tom won an Indian meal in a raffle and he asked me to go with him,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59but I haven't told Trixie yet, so please don't.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- I'm awfully worried about it and I don't have anything to wear.- Gosh.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05I've told her just to be straightforward.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Nothing good ever came of keeping secrets. Did it, Nurse Mount?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48(Stop staring.)
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Does the 15 go past the London?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Yes, love.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02What's the matter?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Are you all right?
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Oh, Lord... 'Ere, call for an ambulance, will ya?
0:40:10 > 0:40:11All right, love.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13That's my teacher.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I think if it was in something processed like corned beef,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26the bacteria would have had a far wider reach by now.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Have there been any family weddings or street parties?
0:40:30 > 0:40:34Yes! Potato salad. Often a harbinger of doom.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40- Sister Monica Joan, there isn't a lot of that left.- Ah, quite!
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I'm sorry to disturb so early,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45but I have to visit Mrs Su's family
0:40:45 > 0:40:48and I wondered if I could take Nurse Mount with me.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Is there news? - Not about Mrs Su herself.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54But it's been confirmed -
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Mr Roberts died of acute peritonitis
0:40:56 > 0:41:00as a result of undiagnosed typhoid infection.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02And the test results are back.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05I think we may have found our carrier.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Me?- The test would suggest that.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12No, no, it can't be.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16I ain't never had typhoid.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18I'm afraid you have.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Probably very mildly as a child.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23The bacteria can lie dormant for many years.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27And once you know you're a carrier, managing it's quite straightforward.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Just good, old-fashioned soap and water.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Oh, Lord...
0:41:35 > 0:41:40- Take her off me!- It's all right, she's not in any danger.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Take her!
0:41:43 > 0:41:46I need to wash me hands.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- What's going on?- Oh, Benny, I'm so sorry...- What?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Jeanette?- I made her sick, Benny.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I didn't mean to, but I did... Oh, God...
0:42:03 > 0:42:04I killed poor old Stan Roberts.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41The register of typhoid carriers exists
0:42:41 > 0:42:44to help control and contain future outbreaks.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I know it must feel intrusive,
0:42:47 > 0:42:52- but it is an effective way of preventing people becoming ill.- Yes.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's very important the register is kept up-to-date,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59so you would need to let us know of any change of address right away.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- I've lived in the same flat all my life, Mrs Turner.- I know.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Though if you did want to move, it could be arranged quite quickly.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08There's a points system for re-housing
0:43:08 > 0:43:11and your carrier status would give you priority.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Will they make me move?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Make me leave my family?
0:43:16 > 0:43:17Of course not, Mrs Mahoney.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20You've managed wonderfully well up till now.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23There are actually very few restrictions on typhoid carriers.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26And most of them are just simple hygiene and common sense.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Little bunch of freesias, maybe, when you meet her.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Not as obvious as roses, but still classy.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50The ladies like that.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I'm sure Nurse Gilbert's not thinking that way at all.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56I'm sure she's only interested in the Indian food.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Oh! Packet of Rennies then!
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Only joking. What you want for spicy food is milk.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Stops it blowing your head off.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Don't have water with it whatever you do, it makes it worse.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12I learned that the hard way in North Africa.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26Miss Whitmore was registered with us very recently.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29You wanted to see me, Sister? Oh, hello Sergeant Noakes.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- Hello, Sister. - Please, sit down, Sister.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35I'm afraid Sergeant Noakes has some unfortunate news
0:44:35 > 0:44:37about Miss Whitmore.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39She's in hospital, Sister.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43It's believed she attempted to abort her baby.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46- Did she succeed?- No.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50She had been pierced with a sharp object causing great blood loss.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52She miscarried the baby later that evening.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54Miss Whitmore almost didn't survive herself.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Have they performed a hysterectomy?
0:44:56 > 0:44:59I believe so, yes. The hospital will let us know
0:44:59 > 0:45:00when she's ready to be interviewed.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03She's to be interviewed by the police? In hospital?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06We have to find out who did this to Miss Whitmore.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10What if the...injury was self-inflicted?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Well...
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Offence Against the Persons Act, 1861, it's still a crime, Sister.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21SOBBING
0:45:27 > 0:45:30Oh, my dear, dear Sister Winifred.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32It's upsetting, I know.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37- I am to blame.- No.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41She was alone and desperate for a friend.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44I knew that, Sister, and I didn't help.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46You did help.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50No! I judged!
0:45:52 > 0:45:54And now it's too late.
0:45:54 > 0:45:55But, Sister...
0:45:55 > 0:45:59Miss Whitmore has never had more need of a friend than now.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11You washed your hands five minutes ago, Mrs Mahoney.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13And you don't need to use a brush.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15It ain't hot enough.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Can I have a jam sandwich, Nana Meg?
0:46:18 > 0:46:21No! I told you! Ask your mum.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23I can't do that no more.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Now, go away!
0:46:30 > 0:46:32I feel so dirty!
0:46:32 > 0:46:34You're not dirty.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37Just hold her. Please.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39I can't.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43When I look at her, I see Jeanette, all sick.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47And when I go outside, I think of Stan!
0:47:05 > 0:47:07< Hello, love.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Hello, Miss Whitmore.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47Hello, Sister.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51I brought you some of your things.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53I expect the room was rather a mess.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Whitmore,
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I should've helped you more.
0:48:01 > 0:48:02Please don't hate me.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Oh, of course not! Never...
0:48:11 > 0:48:13I'm awfully frightened, Sister.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16I'm here, Miss Whitmore. I'm here.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Sister...
0:48:22 > 0:48:25I'd like to stay with her, Sergeant Noakes.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27I think that would be in order.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Hello.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40Oh, a boy for Mrs Antonacci. Have you seen Trixie?
0:48:40 > 0:48:41Mrs Williams...
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Oh, no.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49You're cutting it rather fine, Nurse Gilbert.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53I know! And I haven't had a chance to talk to Trixie.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55I've left it too late.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59Never mind, can't be helped now. I've set out your things.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Oh, thank you!
0:49:03 > 0:49:06I smell of sweat and amniotic fluid.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Gosh, Phyllis. You're an absolute brick!
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Did you pay someone to perform a procedure
0:49:34 > 0:49:37intended to result in the abortion of your baby?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43You're quite sure of that?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46I didn't have enough money for anything like that, Sergeant.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52So, when your injuries occurred, you were alone?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Completely.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04I'm afraid you seem to have rather a lot of night shifts coming up.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07I don't like to do that, but with Nurse Mount unavailable...
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I don't mind. Needs must, I suppose.
0:50:12 > 0:50:17As long as I can still have Tuesday evenings. I have a...commitment.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Set in stone, Nurse Franklin. - Thank you.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27- I do have an idea where you go on Tuesday evenings.- Oh...
0:50:27 > 0:50:29I don't want to pry.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33Suffice to say, that I've been apprised of the rudiments,
0:50:33 > 0:50:36and it all seems very sensible to me.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Does she really have to be arrested?
0:50:43 > 0:50:47Sergeant, she'll never have a family!
0:50:49 > 0:50:50She almost lost her life.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Surely that's enough.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Can't you...
0:50:57 > 0:50:59..look the other way?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01It isn't up to me, Sister. I think it's unlikely
0:51:01 > 0:51:05that my superiors will think it's worth pursuing Miss Whitmore.
0:51:05 > 0:51:06It's the abortionists they want.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12That's wonderful news, Mr Su!
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Have they told you when she'll be allowed home?
0:51:15 > 0:51:19Er, not yet. But they said I can take Marina in to see her soon.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Only bad thing is, er, Jeanette keeps asking for her Nana Meg.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Meg hasn't seen her?
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Thinks she'll make her sick again.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30I keep telling her she won't, but don't make no difference.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Jeanette don't care about her being a carrier.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36She just wants her Nana Meg back. We all do.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45I don't think I'll ever have to eat again!
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Fred was right about the milk, though!
0:51:47 > 0:51:51I don't feel like there's steam coming out of my ears any more.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56Thank you, Tom. I had the most splendid time.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58So did I.
0:52:00 > 0:52:01Goodnight.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03Goodnight, Barbara.
0:52:24 > 0:52:26Poor Mrs Mahoney.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Such a spirited woman.
0:52:28 > 0:52:32I do not like to hear of her brought low.
0:52:32 > 0:52:36What use is she to her family if her spirit is broken?
0:52:36 > 0:52:39We are nothing if we are not of use.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41I know.
0:52:41 > 0:52:42Pass me that plant, please.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45The yellow one.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47Hurry! There is much to do.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52I don't think these are for planting, Sister Monica Joan.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54I think these may be weeds that Fred's already pulled up.
0:52:54 > 0:53:00I do not believe in weeds. Look at that glorious colour!
0:53:00 > 0:53:02A weed is simply a flower
0:53:02 > 0:53:05that someone decides is in the wrong place.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10Why should the Taraxacum struggle in the cracks?
0:53:10 > 0:53:15It deserves an efficacious spot in which to flourish!
0:53:37 > 0:53:39Just look. That's all I ask.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50I can't imagine living up here. Like a bird in a nest.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53Look.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Hot water, whenever you need it.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Space for a fridge.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02You don't even need to take the rubbish out -
0:54:02 > 0:54:03you just drop it down a chute.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06And think how easy it would be to clean.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09No need to scrub those poor hands till they bleed.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15I'm always going to have it, aren't I?
0:54:18 > 0:54:23Meg...I know what typhoid can cost a family.
0:54:24 > 0:54:25I really do.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Your family didn't lose Jeanette.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32Please don't let them lose you.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Is this a punishment?
0:54:38 > 0:54:42On the contrary, Sister. I believe it's intended to be a compliment.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46The school governors approached the Mother House directly.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47I can't.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52I'm not a teacher any more. I'm a midwife.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55You reminded me of that yourself.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56I did.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00But this is an extraordinary situation.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02And it is only for a few weeks.
0:55:02 > 0:55:06A permanent replacement will be there for the new term.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08How can I take the job she loved?
0:55:09 > 0:55:10It feels like a betrayal.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15Mother Jesu Emmanuel would not ask this
0:55:15 > 0:55:17if she did not think it for the best.
0:55:17 > 0:55:21And I must remind you that you have taken a vow of obedience.
0:55:23 > 0:55:24Yes, Sister Julienne.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26As have I.
0:55:32 > 0:55:36'By 1961, the state had lost its appetite
0:55:36 > 0:55:39'for prosecuting lonely, desperate women.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45'So, when sufficiently recovered...
0:55:45 > 0:55:49'Dorothy Whitmore was allowed to go.
0:55:52 > 0:55:56'But if she was not charged, she was punished.
0:55:56 > 0:56:02'Dismissed from teaching, she went elsewhere to forget,
0:56:02 > 0:56:07'be forgotten and to start afresh.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10'Like legions of others.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24'Shame is born in public, and lived out secretly.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27'What is not seen cannot be scrubbed away.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32'But so much can be made bearable by love.
0:56:32 > 0:56:38'By cherishing what is, and not condemning fault or flaw.
0:56:38 > 0:56:43'By never locking doors, by keeping hearts open
0:56:43 > 0:56:47'and holding each other forever in the light.'
0:56:57 > 0:57:00Hospital routines are rather gruelling.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02Are you sure you don't want to send one of the youngsters?
0:57:02 > 0:57:04It's only for a week.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06- You will do the right thing by my daughter!- Dad, stop it!
0:57:06 > 0:57:08That's enough, Mr Lanyard.
0:57:08 > 0:57:11- I'll be asleep when she's born. You'll look after her?- I will.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15- I've come to enquire about Baby Cottingham.- Baby Cottingham?
0:57:16 > 0:57:17Trixie knows about us, Tom.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Afternoon, Tom. Afternoon, Barbara.
