0:00:28 > 0:00:31'We were moving from a time of guessing,
0:00:31 > 0:00:34'of old wives tales and superstition,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36'to one of statistics,
0:00:36 > 0:00:37'data.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42'Suddenly, everything seemed to have a price, a weight, a value.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45'Life, and even death,
0:00:45 > 0:00:46'began to be measured
0:00:46 > 0:00:49'in percentages and probability.'
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Ta-dah! Hot off the press.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Is that the health report? I feel a drum roll is in order.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, shall we see how we've fared?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I thought it might at least be the new James Bond novel.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Far more exciting. Patrick Turner, GP, licensed to practice medicine.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And secret agent Shelagh Turnova,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19save Poplar from ill health and disease!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25That's it, ladies.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29If we want to reduce, we must keep moving.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And make sure you all have enough room.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35No injuries tonight, please.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39That's it!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And everybody sitting.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Bottoms firmly on the floor and arms up.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And arms down.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And now we raise our legs as if we're pedalling a bicycle.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Keeping the arms moving.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And pedal and pedal...
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Sorry, Miss Franklin, my bike's got a puncture.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07You may dismount, just this once, Mrs Buckle.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11And pedal and pedal...
0:02:11 > 0:02:1436 deaths from neoplasms of the lung.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Patrick, that's cancer.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21It makes the timing of my chest clinic rather relevant.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Hopefully we can put right some of the damage of Poplar's bad air.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Bad air? Do you read the Lancet?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32They say smoking causes tumours.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33One school of thought, Tim.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Supported by the Government. - Thank you.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39We're also better at diagnosing these days.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42In itself, that appears to lead to an increase in numbers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Oh, not here, Nurse, not in front of the gents.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's my you-know-what.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Take a seat, Mrs Cadman.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02It's got to stop.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06We can't have women too embarrassed to hand over samples
0:03:06 > 0:03:07because men are present.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I'm rather more disappointed at being given urine as a gift.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13I think the men are quite a comfort to their wives.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Well, they're no comfort to me.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Er, gentlemen, we're short of space. If you'd repair to the corridor.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Please come through, Mrs Dawley.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Can you manage, my dear?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Today, if you would, Mr Dawley.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I was hearing about how the baby shouldn't sleep on its back
0:03:35 > 0:03:36in case it gets sick,
0:03:36 > 0:03:41and it got me to thinking, what would make it sick?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Oh, there are lots of little things.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47All babies get gripes and upsets.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Such as what, Nurse?
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Have you had a little look at the pamphlet I gave you?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I misplaced it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55I'll get you another one.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01But, wind, overfeeding.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04They're very common, Mrs Dawley.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You mustn't worry.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10But who do I telephone? If it does get sick.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Us, Mrs Dawley.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Any time, day or night.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Even if you have plumped for a hospital delivery over us.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Because they keep you in for ten days,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25till they're quite sure you're ready to be at home.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And till they're sure baby's ready too.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You and baby will be a pair.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You'll be ready together.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36That's the spirit.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I can feel the pounds falling off.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, well, you always were an optimist!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Do you reckon I could sign up? - Oh, yeah!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I could get myself a new vest.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48THEY CHUCKLE
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Look at this, look, look, look, look...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, Fred.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55All right?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Oooh! Oooh, no! Oh, I can't move.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02It's my back, oh dear, ooh!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06You do that beautiful.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Sir's mum always did the flowers.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12It's where he got his love of incense and whatnot.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Oh!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22What do they say these days? About baby?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I don't quite know, not got to it just yet.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Sir says I'm to come each day when the baby's here.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Keep the house the way it's always been.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Something so small can't make so much mess, can it, Mrs Dash?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Oh, that little scrap's going to be
0:05:38 > 0:05:41the biggest thing that ever came into your life.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I better get on now, Mrs Dawley.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57What a gentlemen you look.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's not too elaborate, the waistcoat?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I'm hoping the church on Isherwood Lane will take my incense.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Did you drink your milk?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Pint and a half a day for the calcium.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Mother swore by it. And I'm fit as a flea.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Even at this grand old age.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Whatever you wish.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Mrs Dash says she's to come more often.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22You don't mind, do you?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I like her coming. It's company.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28You spend too much time with me and Mrs Dash.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32A pair of old slippers when you should have dancing shoes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Who else would tell me stories?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Tell me where frankincense came from,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40or the myrrh oil Christ was washed in.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I'm blessed, Roseanne, with you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47And now our child.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Now very slowly straighten up.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oooh! Aw, ow!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01It's a nasty spasm in your back.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04We'll need something flat and strong, ideally a door.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Can't you just give her some pills?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08To go under the mattress.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11We need to keep the back supported.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Now rest and aspirin, and perhaps some Mentholatum ointment
0:07:15 > 0:07:18when the pain has subsided a little.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19What kind of door?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Any door.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Handle on or off?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Mrs Buckle will be lying on it, not opening it, Fred.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Not my bathroom door.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32We may be married but I do still have my dignity.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38So, rest over night then, Doctor?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Mrs Buckle, you will need to rest for a week, perhaps two.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44A back spasm is a warning shot.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46We ignore it at our peril.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48But I've got the shop.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- And it must wait.- Oh.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54O...L...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56L...d...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59B...B...O...
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Bot...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Oh!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Ohh!
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Ooo.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Not yet. Please. I'm not ready.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27'The pain! Oh, help me!'
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Mrs Dawley? 15 Lyntall Street. I have you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Now try to breathe, Mrs Dawley. - It hurts so much.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39The midwife said three weeks, but there's water all over my settee
0:08:39 > 0:08:41from...down there.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Is there someone with you, Mrs Dawley?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47No. No, there's no-one. I'm alone.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Ohhh!
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Now breathe through it...
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I'm going to stay on the telephone till it's passed.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Then I'm going to come straight to you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04We're all right, Mrs Dawley. Now, is the front door unlocked?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09My spare's under the mat. Please come.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I'll be with you in five minutes. Stay exactly where you are.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19We've been caught out in terms of the rota.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Everyone's on rounds and Mrs Dawley's three weeks early.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Now, you're simply to answer the telephone.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27If a patient calls, go straight to the maternity home for Nurse Mount.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Are you clear?- Crystal. Now, go.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Our consumption of milk has run away with us since you arrived.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Your bones must have the strength of oxen.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39I do like a milky brew.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42CAR ENGINES MISFIRES
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Don't fail me now.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Ooo ow. Ooo, ooo, ooo, aah!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Sorry, sorry!
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Oh!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You going to be all right on the settee?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Yes, course I am.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17Now, if you need anything at all, you just ring that bell.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18I'm on call.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I'd kiss you if I could move.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Ow!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37PHONE RINGS
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Nonnatus House? - It's Roseanne Dawley.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Where's the midwife? She said she'd be here.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Midwife's on her way, Mrs Dawley. she'll be with you any moment now.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Oh, Lord, help me. Feels like I'm going to burst.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- I can't hold on.- Oh, cripes.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Sister Monica Joan? I need you to fetch me a midwife.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02We are quite alone. And you are simply to answer the telephone.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I need you to go to the maternity home and fetch Nurse Mount.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I am not to be trusted with clinical matters.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11We have an emergency. Please fetch a midwife.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I shall go at once.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Midwife's on her way.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I'm going to stay on the telephone with you until she gets to you.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23There's no need to worry, Mrs Dawley.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, God help me.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'm bleeding.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Help me!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Think, Busby, think.- Help me!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Listen to me now, Roseanne.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I'm right here.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Now, I need you kneeling down. Can you do that?- Yes.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50I'm scared.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I'm so afraid.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Don't be.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Everything will be all right.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Ohhh!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's all right, Roseanne.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You're doing brilliantly.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Wait for the contraction to pass.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Try and breathe through it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Ohhhh!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Look, can you reach a towel or a blanket, anything like that?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There's nothing.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Help me. Help me.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31Where is she? You said she was coming. She should be here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Midwife is coming. She's on her way.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Now, I need you to take off your cardigan,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40or anything loose you have on.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Baby will need it.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Ahhh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Something's coming out.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, God.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's coming.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Roseanne. Breathe.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03We need to slow baby down.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I need you to breathe very gently, little breaths.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Do that for me now.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Roseanne, this is very important. It's to protect baby.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Now breathe!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15SHE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You're doing so, so well, Roseanne.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21That's it. In and out.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Very gentle now.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I can't do this. I can't have this baby.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30You're doing brilliantly, Roseanne!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Focus on your breathing.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- In and out.- Arghhh!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37In and out.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Roseanne?
0:13:43 > 0:13:44Talk to me.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Let me know you're still there.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53SHE SCREAMS
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Roseanne?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10It's out.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It's not moving.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Is baby breathing?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Why won't it move?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I need you to take hold of baby.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Careful because he'll be slippery. Do you have him?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Do you have baby?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Wipe his mouth. We need to remove any fluid. Do that now.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Baby won't move.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35It's me. Oh, God, I'm done for.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Rub baby's back. Good and firm.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Now, Roseanne. Right away.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Good firm, rub, now!
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I've ruined it.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Roseanne! Rub your baby now.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Come on, Roseanne. Baby needs you.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- It's not working.- Keep going.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Keep going till your baby breathes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Come on, Roseanne.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12BABY CRIES
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Keep him warm, hold him to you.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Midwife's coming.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Roseanne?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Boy or girl?- Girl.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I've got a little girl.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Midwife, Mrs Dawley. I'm so sorry.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Well done, Roseanne. Well done.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01I'll take it from here, Nurse Busby. Thank you.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08You've been so brave.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Look what you've managed.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13You're a mother now, Roseanne.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Nurse Busby.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Without your quick thinking and calmness,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35today may have ended very differently.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I only did what you all do every day.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The difference is, we've been trained for it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I was a bit rusty but those obstetric lectures
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- never really leave you, do they? - Not if you were taught by Mr Slade.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49If they could bottle that man we could do away with gas and air.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52A more numbing fellow you couldn't find.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's been ages since we had a BBA.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Born Before Arrival - of a midwife.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00BBB - Born Before Bicycle!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Wretched things, I don't know how you manage them.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Well, that's telephone duty sorted out.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'll be washing my hair and reading magazines from now on.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14I have to admit, it's a lot more rewarding than male surgical.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I have always assumed the results of the male organ
0:17:17 > 0:17:20to be more rewarding then the organ itself.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28To Nurse Busby. We could not wish for a more trusted reserve.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Nurse Busby.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37This little thing that we've created is so entirely perfect.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I know what my mother meant by not fully knowing love or fear
0:17:42 > 0:17:44until she had me.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50BELL RINGS
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Fred!- Oh!
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- I've spilt my water! - Coming, my love.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Although strictly a volunteer helper, I'd hope to see
0:18:05 > 0:18:08my good work reflected in this week's pocket money.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09I'm sure you would!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Thank you for coming.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24We know for some of you it took a great deal of effort.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27This is Dr Turner's first chest clinic
0:18:27 > 0:18:30for chronic pulmonary and bronchial conditions.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Hello, Mr Philips.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34To help you manage with a little more comfort at home.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38And open wide, please.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Postural drainage, where the head is lower than the lungs,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48is a simple but effective way
0:18:48 > 0:18:51to dislodge mucus when it gathers in the lungs.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53(I didn't agree to this.)
0:18:53 > 0:18:55(Think of it as a return on your pocket money.)
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You may also supplement this treatment
0:18:57 > 0:18:59with what we call "percussion".
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Well, Mr Jeffries,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11the bronchodilator has increased airflow to your lungs by 20%.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'd say that was worth coming in for.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Let's try again. This little lady grows hungry.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I've tried. She doesn't want me.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Perseverance, with a little help from Mssrs Grin & Bearit.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I want her on the bottle. That way I'll know when she's had enough.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Try again, dear.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Baby will grow so much stronger from what you can give her.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39My mother swore she could tell which babies had fed at the breast
0:19:39 > 0:19:41and which at the bottle.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Might I trouble you for a cup of tea, Mr Dawley?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Babies aren't an exact science. A mother must trust her instinct.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Then I should like her on the bottle.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56That way my husband can help with feeding.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00She settles so much better with him.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Would you take her please?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Mr Phillips, I want you to reconsider radiotherapy.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25For your cancer.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Your consultant at the London offered you it and you've refused.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Will it cure me, Doc?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It will improve the quality of your time,
0:20:33 > 0:20:35and there's every chance it will extend it.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Frank, you have a wife, young children.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Jean's young enough to find someone else.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I won't leave my kids memories of a sick man getting sicker.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Your time will be better with treatment.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I thought you asked me here to give me a cure
0:20:58 > 0:21:01for this cancer in my lungs, something to make it better.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Hope, Frank.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's the best thing of all.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Says the man who's not dying.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I've made my peace.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Dr Turner.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Good morning!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53You make a very handsome butler.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59I make a very handsome haberdasher-er.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01No, not the shop, Fred.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03You wouldn't have a clue about haberdashery.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06We are a nation of shopkeepers, Mrs Buckle.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- It's in our blood.- But you...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The matter is closed.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19HE HUMS
0:22:19 > 0:22:22KNOCK ON DOOR
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Hello, ladies. Yes, your eyes do not deceive you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34It is I, Fred Buckle of the Buckle establishment.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36And Mrs Buckle?
0:22:36 > 0:22:41Attending to other business. Now, how may I be of service?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42I've a fitting.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Smashing. Remind me of what kind of fitting?
0:22:46 > 0:22:47Brassiere... Oh.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm here for me monthlies.
0:22:53 > 0:22:54Monthly what?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Er, er, erm...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05One moment, ladies.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Fred, I've only got a half day off. I'm going on my rounds later.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Half day's perfect. Don't apologise.- I'm not.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33This is Miss Gilbert, my assistant.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36She'll be attending to your more, um, "personal" needs.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I'm on buttons, zips and collars.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Assistant?- A very senior one.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46# East is East and West is West
0:23:46 > 0:23:48# And the wrong one I have chose
0:23:48 > 0:23:51# Let's go where I'll keep on wearing those frills
0:23:51 > 0:23:54# And flowers and buttons and bows
0:23:54 > 0:23:58# Rings and things and buttons and bows
0:23:58 > 0:24:01# Don't bury me in this prairie
0:24:01 > 0:24:04# Take me where the cement grows
0:24:04 > 0:24:07# Let's move down to some big town
0:24:07 > 0:24:10# Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes
0:24:10 > 0:24:12# And I'll stand out in buttons and bows... #
0:24:12 > 0:24:15If you choose this fabric,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18you can have a dress exactly like your mother's.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Two peas in a pod.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Mrs Dawley, my goodness you should be resting at home.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I wanted to come for the cover for the pram.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29My husband put by one in pink and one in blue, for whichever we had.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Of course, as long as you promise to go straight home.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Put your feet up, long as you can.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41You won't get another holiday from mothering, dear.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We heard about you, Mrs Dawley.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Takes some guts to manage how you did.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49It's worth it though.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54One day, you'll be standing in this shop, proud as I am today.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57You'll look at your little girl and you'll see yourself.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00You'll show her the way, Mrs Dawley.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08How is baby, Mrs Dawley?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12She's perfect, Miss.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Well, she'll look it in this.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Now, home, please, Mrs Dawley. Your husband has settled already.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Well, bye-bye.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I've had a telephone call from James McAdam.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37He's carrying out a postmortem at the Chest Hospital today
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and thought I might be interested in attending.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Gosh. James knows how to show a chap a nice time.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46He always was a little macabre, even when we studied together.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50But he knows about our clinic and thought it might be educational.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52And you're welcome to join us.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56It's very kind, but on this occasion, I politely decline.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You're more than welcome, Mrs Manley.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04What a team, eh, Nurse Gilbert? We're like a well-oiled machine.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I was thinking more Laurel and Hardy.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Ah, I don't suppose you're available tomorrow?- No.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12How about lunch hour?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13No.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Mrs Dawley?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You still get queasy, Pat?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I don't know what you mean, James.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33The coronary arteries were blocked.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34And he had lung cancer.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Good God.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I've only seen them in text books.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Tar and tumours.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51From those bloody cigarettes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54He was 45.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Smoked since he was 15, by all accounts.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So you may want to tell the patients in your clinic,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04no bronchodilator or drainage technique will clear this up.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18BABY CRIES
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I went back, but she'd gone.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Then you should have telephoned the police, Mrs Dawley.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I knew she'd be safe.
0:27:33 > 0:27:38The people in the shop, they were so...kind, so full of goodness.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You make it sound as though leaving baby was a choice.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Hello?
0:27:44 > 0:27:45BABY MEWLS CONTENTEDLY
0:27:45 > 0:27:50They're a sight, aren't they, Nurse Crane? My two beautiful girls.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53They are indeed, Mr Dawley. You must be very proud.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Might you settle her down for us?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07You shan't say anything to Denis, shall you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I must ask you, Mrs Dawley.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Are you frightened of your husband?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13No, Denis is a gentleman.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17He treats me like a princess.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21This was his mother's house.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26He said no other woman would ever live here, and then he met me.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28And he lets me live here like the lady of the house.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Me!
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You ARE the lady of the house.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Tell me what happened today.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41I got muddled.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Forgot meself. I never meant to put her at harm.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I want the best for her, Nurse.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Having a baby is a terrific upheaval.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Stop.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Think only of yourself and your little girl.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02And be patient. You've the rest of your life to get the hang of it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Mrs Dawley, is there anyone, a close friend or a female relative,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13who could come and visit until you feel more settled?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Yes, but it isn't necessary.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I shall see you again tomorrow.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25It's about presence and keeping calm.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30And yes, it was busy, nonstop to tell the truth.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33But I thought to myself, "Fred, you may be sailing this ship alone
0:29:33 > 0:29:38"but you're sailing it for Vi, and we must weather the storm."
0:29:38 > 0:29:39My hero. Hm.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Would you help me down to the shop tomorrow?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45I've got to put my stock order in.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50Of course, my love. And I'll fetch your overcoat.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Because hell will freeze over first.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54You are resting!
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Anything needs doing, you let your hubby-dasher-er do it.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Well it's got to be done first thing.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's all in the book by the till.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Hubby-dasher-er! Hm!
0:30:07 > 0:30:11I worry that the traumatic birth has put Mrs Dawley
0:30:11 > 0:30:13in a peculiar way of thinking.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16There was something rather lost about her in the shop.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17A sort of sadness,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20as if she would've preferred to have stayed in there with us.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Could it be a touch of the baby blues?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27She's yet to forge a link with baby. That much is apparent.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I don't think Mrs Dawley ever fully believed she was pregnant.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I'll keep a weather eye on her.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Do you think we might try gathering a little pace?
0:30:37 > 0:30:42I should like to devote what's left of my evening to Spanish.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43SHE GIGGLES
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- What in God's name are you doing? - Nothing.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Don't give me "nothing".
0:31:01 > 0:31:03The damn thing's still alight!
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Oh, Tim, no.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07You're smoking?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10My son, my 14-year-old son, is smoking?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Kenneth Parker smokes. He's six weeks younger than me.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You are on thin ice. If I ever catch you with a cigarette again...
0:31:16 > 0:31:18You'll what? Light it for me?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- While you are under this roof, you will...- Patrick!
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Go on, Dad. Tell me why I shouldn't smoke.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27You said yourself, "Cancer's just a school of thought."
0:31:27 > 0:31:29If you don't care, then why should I?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38There. That's better, isn't it, my little one?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Hello, my love.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Which do you think? The pink or the white?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50She's still perfect, in't she?
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Because she's from you.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Why can't you see what I see? - Cos you don't see what's real.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
0:32:00 > 0:32:03"and lean not unto thine own understanding."
0:32:03 > 0:32:04I'm not real!
0:32:04 > 0:32:05You are to me.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08You will be to our daughter.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10All she will ever know of you is this.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12That's what's real!
0:32:13 > 0:32:14That's what's perfect.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21The pink or the white?
0:32:24 > 0:32:25(Whichever you think best.)
0:32:35 > 0:32:36He'll come round.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38He just needs to cool off.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I'm giving up.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Do you hear me, Tim? I am giving up.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Do you promise?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Yes.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09With all my heart.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14So I never want to see you with a cigarette again.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Now, you promise me, Tim.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Put your hand on your heart and you promise me.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20I promise.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25You are my only son.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30My only son. And I never, ever want to lose you.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Would you rather I were here today?
0:33:39 > 0:33:45- I can put off my meeting. - Please, go to your meeting.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48You don't seem yourself, Roseanne. You haven't since her birth.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I am, Denis.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I'm quite myself.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I shan't be no different whether you're here or not.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Have you thought any more about a name?- I don't have your imagination.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10We'll find one.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12When we know her better.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15One that captures a sense of her.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29You'll think of one that fits her best.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It's the only way. A clean break.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- Well done. I'm proud of you. - Exactly.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02If we're giving up, we simply have to bite the bullet.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06"We?" I thought YOU were giving up?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Both of us. I promised Tim, this morning.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14But I smoke so little, it surely can't matter. One or two a day?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Well, Shelagh, they're coffin nails.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17Lethal, every one of them.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Keep Freddie at your side.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Every time you think of taking a cigarette
0:35:24 > 0:35:26do something else with your hands.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30I fear there may be quite a lot of frogs, Patrick.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Would you bring me Mr Phillips' notes when you have a moment?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Hello? Anyone at home?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51BABY CRIES
0:36:00 > 0:36:02BABY CRIES URGENTLY
0:36:05 > 0:36:10Hello! There, there, there.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16What's this?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21"Can't make baby safe.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22"Please forgive me".
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Oh, don't you fret, we'll find your mummy.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Yes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35But there must be something you can do?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I, I'm only a couple of hours late.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39'Her order's always on time.'
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Yeah, I, I know Mrs Buckle is never late with her order
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- but I'm not Mrs Buckle. - 'Sorry. There's nothing I can do.'
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Look, I'm begging you for a favour!- 'Goodbye.'
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Hello?
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Hello?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54LINE GOES DEAD
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I used to visit the Blue Angel Jazz Club.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Did you work there, Mr Phillips?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08I was the brawn on the door. Took the punches. Threw a few, too.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10I don't believe you've no fight left.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Not here for the pictures, then?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13When it comes to it,
0:37:13 > 0:37:17you will beg for one extra minute with your family.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Trust me. Please. Take the radiotherapy.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25You can call me at any time...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Hello, Dr Turner.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32What you doing here?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Er, he just dropped in to tell me, give up the fags.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Hello, Mrs Phillips.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Could it help him?
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Could it give him...a bit more time, Doctor?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44None of that now, Jean.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Expect you'd like some tea.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Hold her for me, Frank.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53You haven't told her, have you?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55That you have a choice.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57It ain't no choice. I'm dying.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00You could live longer and better.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- That is a choice. - Used to call me her movie star.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08We had the real ones in the club. She never looked twice at them.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12That's how I want her to remember me. How I want my kids to.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15And what about what they want?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Oh, hello, Nurse Crane? I wasn't expecting to see you?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Where's Roseanne?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Mr Dawley, if we put our heads together I'm sure...
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Nurse Crane, your concern is most appreciated
0:38:39 > 0:38:41but there's really no need for it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43My wife will have gone to her mother's.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Yes! Now I think of it, she mentioned she might visit.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Where is her mother?
0:38:49 > 0:38:52The Isle of Dogs.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54It would be better if her mother came here.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Is it something that comes to all mothers?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02That sacred bond between mother and child?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I have no doubts.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I only fear she does.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Hard work makes a mother.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13We like to think something magical happens at birth.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15And, for, some it does.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21But the real magic is keeping on when all you want to do is run.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Do you have children of your own, Nurse Crane?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28That wasn't a path set out for me.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33The Lord gives us what we need. Not always what we want.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I tend not to rely on the Lord, Mr Dawley.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Will you telephone me
0:39:38 > 0:39:40as soon as your wife gets back from her mother's?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- Might I beg a favour, Mrs Turner? - Of course.
0:40:01 > 0:40:07- Mrs Roseanne Dawley.- Oh, yes, how... How are she and baby?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10She's upped and left what by all accounts looks a perfect life.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Would you have a glance at her notes, see if there's anything
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- that may indicate any difficulties? - Certainly, Nurse Crane.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20I'm worried she may have got herself into a bit of a pickle.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Ah, she registered two years ago.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- Mm-hm.- First visit was to confirm pregnancy.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Previous notes? Could they be under her maiden name, Lakey?
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Ah, there's nothing for a Roseanne Lakey.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39They must still be with her previous doctor.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Find them for me, Mrs Turner. Quick as you like, please?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Should you telephone the police?
0:40:44 > 0:40:45I think perhaps I shall have to.
0:40:48 > 0:40:56# When the evening shadows fall and a lovely day is through
0:40:58 > 0:41:02# Then with longing I recall... #
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Roseanne?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Roseanne?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09# The years I spent with you. #
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I'm so sorry. Please excuse me.
0:41:14 > 0:41:21# Mamma, solo per te la mia canzone vola... #
0:41:21 > 0:41:22KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:41:22 > 0:41:24SHE DIMS THE MUSIC
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Rosie Lakey.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33All right, Nel?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37I didn't know where else to go.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38What is it, girl?
0:41:40 > 0:41:44- Has he given you a hiding? He never looked that type.- No. No.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Denis ain't laid a finger on me.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59Rosie, this don't make no sense to me. What are you doing here?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04It's different now.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06How? When he don't lump you or treat you bad?
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Why are you walking out on it? - Cos I need to be good enough.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15So very, very good for that life now, and I ain't.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18It's a charmed life you've been living
0:42:18 > 0:42:21if you've got time for thoughts like that, I tell you.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Can I stay, Nel?
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- You can always stay. Didn't I promise you that?- Mm-hm.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I managed to track down Mrs Dawley's medical records
0:42:36 > 0:42:39at her previous surgery from before her marriage.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41I don't know why we didn't have them.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45- And, am I right to be worried? - Yes, I think perhaps you are.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48You said she'd gone to her mother's. But the notes show
0:42:48 > 0:42:50Roseanne contracted several childhood illnesses
0:42:50 > 0:42:53from the Newman Home For Girls.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55A home for orphans and abandoned children.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59So we can take Mother out of the equation.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01There were another set of notes.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Roseanne was seen by a prison doctor.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07She was in Holloway for soliciting.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13So, what now?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Back on the game, that the plan?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I do what I do to feed my kids.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- You think I'd do it if I had a choice?- It's what I know.
0:43:24 > 0:43:25You never believed in luck, did you?
0:43:25 > 0:43:28I don't want her growing up like me.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30You think I'll have that for my Cath?
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Nel, I didn't mean it of you.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38I'll die before she goes on those streets.
0:43:38 > 0:43:43I take those men, those filthy sods, and I save every shilling.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48Cos my girl's going to have a better life. She's going to be proper.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51I haven't got your strength, Nel.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55I go back to what I am.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59SHARP KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:44:01 > 0:44:03WOMEN'S VOICES CHATTER
0:44:03 > 0:44:05MORE SHARP KNOCKS AT THE DOOR
0:44:05 > 0:44:07You forgot didn't you?
0:44:07 > 0:44:09My order.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13I tried, I tried so hard.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15But I'm no good, Vi.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18I'm just a chump who's let you down.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23WOMEN COMPLAIN
0:44:23 > 0:44:26I'll talk to them. I'll tell them that I messed everything up.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Out my shop, Fred. Now, please?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33WOMAN COMPLAINS
0:44:40 > 0:44:41At last!
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Aw, thank God you're back. Have you got my order?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Orders will be late this week but we'll do our best to get them in,
0:44:47 > 0:44:50- you have my word on that.- What was you thinking leaving him in charge?
0:44:50 > 0:44:52He ran himself ragged getting nowhere fast.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55I thought you'd know that already about Fred Buckle.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58He offers you the world and gives you Chrisp Street.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I mean to say, he tried,
0:45:00 > 0:45:03but you can't run a shop on good intentions, can you?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Don't he know this shop's the only thing you've got?
0:45:08 > 0:45:11It's not all I have, Mrs Cadman.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13But it is mine.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18And I would like you to leave it. "Toot sweet", as my Fred would say.
0:45:20 > 0:45:24And, by the way, I'm very fond of Chrisp Street.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47All right, Turner, let's get this over.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52The research indicates that lung cancer is increasingly common
0:45:52 > 0:45:54- in patients over 45... - Tea?- No.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57..who may present with little or no symptoms.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00Then it's a wild goose chase. An impressive challenge
0:46:00 > 0:46:03we have neither the resource nor stomach for.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05- Good God, just the cost of it. - The cost is a lot less
0:46:05 > 0:46:08than treating lung cancer in its late stages.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10- KNOCK AT THE DOOR - It's very simple, Mr Stephens.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14I don't want to see lung cancer as the biggest cause of death in Poplar
0:46:14 > 0:46:15in five years' time.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19- We gave you your chest clinic. - For one morning!
0:46:20 > 0:46:24I am talking about a clinic twice a month, for a whole day.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27In a larger premises.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30Well, my surgery can't meet the demand.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34I'm not simply talking about lung cancer, but emphysema, bronchitis,
0:46:34 > 0:46:38pleurisy. The chronic manifestations of all of these
0:46:38 > 0:46:40could be partially managed by me at the clinic.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44And who would tend to your clinic in that time?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47I was coming to the subject of a locum.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49HE SNORTS
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Why is it that every time you come in here I get a headache?
0:46:54 > 0:46:58Must be the air. I get one too.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00Put it out, Jim.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05You know people are calling them coffin nails?
0:47:05 > 0:47:07JIM SIGHS
0:47:07 > 0:47:11One clinic. Once a month. Half a day.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14I need some help...
0:47:14 > 0:47:16I'll send someone straight away.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19Nurse Crane, we've had a telephone call.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21A Mrs Tanner asks you go to her, she's in Limehouse
0:47:21 > 0:47:24in the St Saviour's building. Mrs Dawley's with her.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30- Thank you, Sister Winifred. - I hope the poor woman's all right.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34I couldn't help overhearing your conversation with Mrs Turner.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37Prostitution leaves many scars. I've seen that at first hand.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42Would you come with me, to St Saviour's?
0:47:42 > 0:47:44I think Mrs Dawley might find you a comfort.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I'll get my coat.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51BABY CRIES
0:47:51 > 0:47:57You. You alone will have the stars as no-one else has them.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00In one of the stars I shall be living.
0:48:00 > 0:48:04In one of them I shall be laughing.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08'And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing
0:48:08 > 0:48:10'when you look at the sky at night.
0:48:10 > 0:48:16'You, only you, will have stars that can laugh.'
0:48:31 > 0:48:34SOUND OF UTENSILS CLATTERING
0:48:43 > 0:48:48All I wanted was to be old enough... to leave.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55There weren't no kindness in the Newman Home.
0:48:56 > 0:49:01If there was an opposite to kindness, it was in that place.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04No-one there who was just for me.
0:49:08 > 0:49:14I'd dream God was my dad cos of what the Bible says.
0:49:16 > 0:49:17God the Father.
0:49:19 > 0:49:27So I'd go to church, pray to Him for a miracle, to be loved.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32And then I met Denis.
0:49:35 > 0:49:41My miracle. My kind, wonderful miracle.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47He brought frankincense to the church.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51SHE SNIFFS
0:49:51 > 0:49:54They call it perfume of the sanctuary.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58It was sanctuary.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02- You say that as if it were past. - It was never meant for me.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06The Newman Home was meant for me.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Me and all the girls who weren't wanted.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12The girls that couldn't be kept.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14- It's not the same. - It is when you're six
0:50:14 > 0:50:17and you finally know no-one's coming for you.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Denis looks at me.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26And he don't see what they all saw.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Them grown-ups who'd come to the home and look straight through me.
0:50:32 > 0:50:36You had a wretched start and there was nothing you could do about it.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38ROSEANNE SOBS
0:50:38 > 0:50:42We don't choose to be unloved by those who should love us.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47You didn't choose to be abandoned, Roseanne.
0:50:48 > 0:50:55But you did choose to go to your church, to talk with Mr Dawley.
0:50:55 > 0:50:59Look what happened when you began to choose.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03How can I show my baby the right path when I never took it myself?
0:51:05 > 0:51:10- I ain't fit to raise that child. - You are.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17My mother's parents threw her out.
0:51:18 > 0:51:24She did anything she could to feed me, to try and get me shoes to wear.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27I didn't see how that broke her.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32But I wish, oh, I wish so much she were here now
0:51:32 > 0:51:39so I could put my arms round her, tell her she's good and strong,
0:51:39 > 0:51:41and the bravest woman I ever knew.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Shame will keep us in all kinds of prisons if we let it.
0:51:48 > 0:51:53And it will keep us from those we love, and who love us.
0:51:53 > 0:51:55ROSEANNE WHIMPERS
0:51:56 > 0:52:00Your little girl wants you.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Don't abandon her because you were abandoned.
0:52:04 > 0:52:08ROSEANNE SOBS HEAVILY
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Mr Phillips? How can I help?
0:52:22 > 0:52:26Get me into the London, doc, fast as you like.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29I will beg, borrow and steal every minute I can get.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33We'll take you in as soon as we can.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Thank you, doc, making me see sense.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52SHE STIFLES A SOB
0:52:57 > 0:52:59DOOR SLAMS
0:53:00 > 0:53:02BABY WHIMPERS
0:53:02 > 0:53:05Let's get her settled upstairs, Mr Dawley.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15There we are, that's the ticket.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17Look how well she's taken.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20I think that's a smile.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Denis, she's smiling at me.
0:53:24 > 0:53:28It does indeed look very like a smile.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33I have a name for her. It's come to me.
0:53:35 > 0:53:36Like you said it would.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Faith.
0:53:40 > 0:53:42After you.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45For seeing in me what I couldn't.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Faith. Always.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01Hello, my Faith.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04See, she doesn't stir.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06She knows she's safe.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08She knows she's loved.
0:54:15 > 0:54:16Oh! Ow.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Oh. Fred!
0:54:25 > 0:54:30You may be a chump, but you're my chump.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34I don't care about the shop.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38It's what I had when I didn't have anyone.
0:54:38 > 0:54:42Look at us! We've met so late.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44We haven't brought up little 'uns together
0:54:44 > 0:54:47or huddled for warmth when we couldn't afford to pay for the gas.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50None of them things that bring folks close.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54But you did all you could when I needed you.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58I wish we'd met earlier.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00I wish we had more time together.
0:55:02 > 0:55:06- Promise me one thing? - Anything.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09You are never setting foot in my shop again, Fred.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13SHE LAUGHS
0:55:13 > 0:55:16- Ooh! - Ooh, sorry!- Not too tight!
0:55:19 > 0:55:21LITTLE GIRL CHATTERS
0:55:21 > 0:55:24Did you hear Dad's got the clinic?
0:55:24 > 0:55:27I knew you'd do it. Did you try my psychological approach?
0:55:27 > 0:55:32Yes. As you suggested, I asked for double what I needed,
0:55:32 > 0:55:36- ended up with half, which was what I wanted.- Psychology, Tim?
