MATURE JENNY: 'A sense of community is the Holy Grail of modern living. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:37 | |
'When we cannot find it in the present day, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
'we reach back through the years and say, | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
' "That was when we knew each other. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
' "That was when we held all things in common." | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
'It is a thought so tender and consoling, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
'that it scarcely matters if it is not true. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
'Past perfection is a wondrous thing.' | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
The Bible had a plague of locusts, we have a plague of pensioners! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Scarcely a crumb left in their wake, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
and I'm sorry to say that I've just had my bottom pinched. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-I think that's Mr Pilbeam. The man on the right trestle table. -You too? | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
Twice. I asked Tom to give him | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
a hard, cold stare, but it didn't discourage him at all. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
Afternoon, dear! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
-Mrs Hills? How lovely to see you! -Hello, Nurse Franklin. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
I heard this year's funds wouldn't stretch | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
to taking the old folk to the seaside, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
so I thought I'd bring a bit of the seaside to them. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Oh, that's so kind! You must stay for a cup of tea! | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
I can't stop long. I've left my Diane looking after the stall. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
There's no harm in taking the weight off your feet for five minutes. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Especially given your rather interesting condition. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
This? Yes, number five. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
It gets to be like shelling peas. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
I seem to remember WE helped shell peas number two, three and four. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
I hope we haven't done anything to offend. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
I'm going to the clinic at St Cuthbert's. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
They want me to have it in hospital, on account of my age. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Well, they're obviously taking very good care of you, | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
-because you look extremely well. -I'm an old hand, Mrs Turner. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
The autoclave is coming to the end of its cycle. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
I shall replenish your instruments as soon as it concludes. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Thank you, Nurse Crane. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
They said they'd come and repair the one at the surgery tomorrow. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Ooh, Doctor, whatever is this? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
-Cornish pasty? -Or more precisely, half of one. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
Would it have killed you to sit down for five minutes | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
and eat the whole thing? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
Now, hop it, and put your feet up in the parlour | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
while I sort you out some instruments. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Mr Pilbeam's demanded a refill. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
I think he might just find we keep him waiting. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
-Shelagh, did you know Mrs Hills was expecting again? -Not till now. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
I just wondered who referred her to St Cuthbert's? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
Frightfully sorry. Creamless scone alert! | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
We've run out of cream again? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
Certain guests have been taking more than their fair share. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
I threatened to put one man over my knee, but it only encouraged him. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Timothy! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Please don't make me play any more. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
You've done your bit, dear. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Now, run inside and open three more tins of Nestle's cream. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
In the meantime, I popped into you-know-where last night | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
and the you-know-whats are ready for you-know-when! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
I think you'd better take charge of this. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Dad? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Dad! | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
I was just waiting for the autoclave to finish. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
You need a holiday. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Nobody ever NEEDS a holiday, Timothy. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
Which isn't to say it wouldn't be a nice thing to have. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Tom, I think that was one of the best films I've ever seen. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
No wonder we couldn't get tickets last week! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
Whistle Down The Wind is a bit of a funny title, though. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Doesn't even hint at the Christian message. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Maybe that's a good thing. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
I think we ought to go again - and take the Sunday school with us. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
-See? I am nothing if not an incurable romantic. -SHE GIGGLES | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
That sounds splendid. On one condition. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
What? | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
That you promise to bring the parish sweetie jar | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
and fill it with sherbet lollies. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Actually... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
-Oh! -Purple and green. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
My favourite! | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
I wanted to give it to you in the pictures, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
but there were too many people looking. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
Well...well, there's no-one looking now. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Help me! | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
SHE GASPS Help me, please! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
It's all right, you're safe. You're safe now. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Fetch the police. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
No! No! Please, not the police. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
I'm sorry, Lizzie. It won't sting for long. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
It's well sugared. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
-Do you mind if I smoke? -Not at all. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Here. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
It's all right, Lizzie. You're safe here. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
-I should go. -I can walk you to the police station, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
-after Nurse Gilbert's tidied you up. -No. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
I told you, I got enough to worry about, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
without a conviction for soliciting. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
I think you might be bruised, where your blouse is torn. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:41 | |
Would you let me have a look, and perhaps put some arnica on it? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
He bit you? | 0:05:49 | 0:05:50 | |
Could've been worse. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:52 | |
The other girls say the johns get up to all kinds. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
But I ain't been doing it long. Oh, I have to go. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-Lizzie... -I have to. I have to get back to my kids. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
How awful. And we were only waiting up to see | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
if you'd help Delia with her bust-darts. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
It's all hands on deck once I start tangling with bodices! | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
I'm a terrible seamstress. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
There was nowhere she could turn to. No-one who would help her. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
-Apart from you. -A few kind words and a bit of antiseptic. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
There's nothing to stop you from reporting it to the police. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
Perhaps you should. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:25 | |
Can't do any harm. Might make you feel better. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
Hello, girls. How was your evening? | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
Well, we enjoyed the film. How was Art History? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
Riveting! We're doing Vermeer, I can't resist a good interior. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
I wondered if things had got a bit emotional. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
Your mascara's run a bit. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:41 | |
Ooh, I sat upstairs on the bus. It got wretchedly smoky. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Is that Ovaltine? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:45 | |
# Show me the way that I should walk in | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
# For I lift up my soul unto thee. # | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-Mum, can I come in? -In a minute! I'm not decent! | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
Really need to go, Mum! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
Lovely and fresh, make sure you fry 'em in some nice, clean lard! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Nice, clean pavement's what we want. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Can't be selling fish from a pitch | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
with spit and fag ends all underfoot. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-Mrs Hills! -Yes, dear? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Just a thank-you note for your contribution to the Pensioner's Tea! | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
Oh, you're welcome. I'll be a pensioner myself soon enough! | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
Should've told your Alf that, before he had his way with ya! | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Don't work too hard, Mrs Hills! | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
You heard the nurse, Diane. You ought be doing the heavy stuff, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
not leaving it all to your ma in her condition. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Well, Diane's better at all the adding and subtracting | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
than I'll ever be, Vera. Any idiot can do the donkey work. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
A bite mark? I'm sorry you had to see that. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
Oh, I'M perfectly all right! | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
But this woman - Lizzie - she looked as | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
if she'd been attacked by an animal. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
There's things go on round here that you don't want to trouble your head with. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
Sergeant, we've had working girls on our midwifery books, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
and we see them in the doctor's when they have VD. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
This was different. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:06 | |
She suffered as a consequence not of sex, but of violence. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
We can't do anything unless she makes a formal complaint. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
But she can't! Because she thinks SHE'S the criminal! | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Well, legally, they're both in the wrong. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
He beat her up, of course. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
But if she was out soliciting, she could get a £60 fine or jail. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:24 | |
Even just for loitering on the pavement. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
And if she's got children, like she said, | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
it's not going to end well for anyone. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
It's not right, though, is it? | 0:08:30 | 0:08:31 | |
It's the law. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Ah, Sister. I wasn't sure if you'd been called out yet. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
It's no doubt the calm before the storm, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
but the phone hasn't rung once this morning. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
I thought I'd get ahead with the chapel flowers. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
And some for your office. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
You have a knack for floristry, Sister. And a very sweet voice. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
A sweet voice? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
And in chapel, I can hardly hear you. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
If we are to praise the Lord in song, we should do it gladly. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
And as loudly as possible. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Oh...Sister Julienne. I'm always afraid of singing TOO loudly. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
When I was a postulant, we were told never to draw attention to | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
ourselves in any way - because it was a sign of pride. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
And now I've drawn attention to myself by... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
Not singing loudly enough. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
I always find that if I feel singled out for either praise or blame, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
the best response is to offer it up and say, | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
"What good would this do for others?" | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
Of course, Sister. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
And if you could raise your voice with us, it would make us feel | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
so very blessed. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Thank you. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
Thought that nurse seemed nice this morning. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:01 | |
I just think we'd be better off getting one of them in. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:04 | |
Diane, we've discussed this. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
You mean, YOU'VE discussed it... with yourself. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
If you want an argument, Diane, turn round and look at me. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
I don't want to turn round, and I don't want to look at ya. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Because if I do, I'll see you putting your hand on your back, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
and rubbing your belly, and huffing and puffing when you bend over. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
And I can't do ANY of those things! | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Diane. You brought all this on yourself. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Running round with some lad from a building site, who legged it | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
without leaving his address. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:35 | |
-What's going to happen, Mum? -You know what's going to happen. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
You're going to have it here, and I'm going to look after you. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
And we're going to say that it's mine. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
I mean, WHAT'S going to happen? How will it get out? | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
I'll take you through that when the time comes. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Which, please God, will be before your dad gets back from sea, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
cos I don't fancy your chances at all. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Why don't you just send me up that mother and baby place, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
-like Janice Myers? -Because Janice Myers is shoddy goods for life. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
And she's going to come back here empty-handed! | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
Listen, Diane, you are not the first, and you won't be the last. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
I know three or four families where the baby's grown up | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
thinking its mother's its sister. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:13 | |
-Who? -Never you mind who! | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
Go and get your apron on before your brothers get in from Cubs. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
All right. Only, watch out. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
Your pillow's slipping. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
BABY WAILS | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Oh, dear, someone's out of sorts. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
He's always out of sorts. He never stops crying. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
I'm scared there's something wrong with him. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
Dear me, young man! | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
It's only a postnatal check-up, no need to be so vexed. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:51 | |
Why don't we see who's free, bump you up the queue a bit. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
I can't find any reason to refer him to Doctor - there's a possibility | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
it's a touch of colic, and we can keep an eye on that together. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
Now, Mrs Coleman. Are you getting any sleep? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:08 | |
I'm walking the floors with him most nights. My husband has to get up | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
at the crack of dawn for work - it's his sleep that matters. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Well, you won't be able to take care of Michael properly | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
if you're exhausted. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
While the nights are still so mild, a gentle | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
bedtime walk in the fresh air might do you both good. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
I'll try anything, Sister. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
How many doors, is it just one door? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
It's time to come to the table, Patrick. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
We've something extra special for dinner this evening. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
What's all this? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
Chicken a la King, with piped mashed potato and creamed spinach. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
Please note the ornamental folded serviettes. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
All my own work, and copied out of Woman's Realm at Mum's insistence. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
We never have serviettes on a weeknight. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
Well, we're having them today. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
In fact, we're going to indulge ourselves in every | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
conceivable luxury and refinement | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
because tomorrow we're going... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-..camping! -HE LAUGHS | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
No, Dad. We really are. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
I've got work tomorrow, Shelagh. And so have you. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Absolutely everything is in hand. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
We've arranged locum cover for a week | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
and Sister Julienne is fully in support. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
The locum's called Dr Godfrey and she's even offered him | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
lodgings at Nonnatus while we're away. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Akela's arranged for us to borrow two tents | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
and as much of the Cubs' equipment as we need. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
Mum's even bought a little half-size sleeping bag for Angela. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-Really? -Really. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
I couldn't be happier. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Very prettily done, Sister. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
But you cannot tempt me. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Everyone has noticed | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
that you aren't eating properly at mealtimes, Sister. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
My strength comes from another source. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
And I hope you do not need to ask from whence. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
No, of course not. But... | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
How recently did you study for Novices' Vows? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
Were you not apprised of the practice of mortification | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
of the flesh? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:23 | |
Yes. (Oh...) Are you trying to fast? | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
I have few joys and therefore little to surrender. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
Sister, you found the Lenten fast very hard. Why now? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
I am in fair health now, and able to sustain the sacrifice. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
But, Sister, IF you want to fast, | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
you must tell the rest of the community what you're doing. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
That way we can uphold you. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
Very well. You may remove this platter of frivolities. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
Of course. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
Good, stout Army surplus. Perfect for a week in the New Forest! | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
Patsy says they've been serving the Cubs of Poplar for 15 years. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
I remember this one from when we did our camping badge at Selsey Bill. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
It's got bullet holes along the ridge. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
I'm quite sure they're not bullet holes, Timothy. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
They were probably made by moths. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Or mice. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:31 | |
It does all smell rather musty. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
And there's mould in this billycan. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Oh, it just needs a quick swill in some hot water. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Shelagh... | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
This holiday is about getting back to nature | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
and being together as a family. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
We'll enjoy it, won't we? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
Yes, we will. Because we've earned it. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
# Half a pound of tuppenny rice Half a pound of treacle... # BABY WAILS | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
# That's the way the money goes... # | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
CLATTER, SHOUTING | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
# Every night when we go out the monkeys... # | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
I love you. I love you, Michael. But you're going to kill me. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
We did the right thing putting you on iron tablets. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
Don't reckon you're anaemic - good going for nine months. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
I was anaemic with ALL of you. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Makes me feel sick when I see all that. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
I've had four and everything's in hand. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Put it out of your mind. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:35 | |
We have two or three ladies on our books who are very close to term. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
Their records have already been moved to... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
..to the green filing cabinet over in the maternity home. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
They're also double-copied to the Nonnatus House log | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
and my own personal Rolodex, which is widely held to be infallible. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
Rolodex? I like the sound of that, Nurse Cray. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
Crane. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
As in the wading bird, or industrial lifting equipment, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
whichever you prefer. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
Ulcer clinic is on Friday afternoons. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
We've been experimenting with a new antibiotic powder... | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Which I will be delighted to discuss with Dr Godfrey. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
It's cutting-edge stuff like this that brings me | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
out of retirement time and time again! | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
I imagine you feel the same. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
I shall consider retirement as and when I reach the appropriate age, | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
Dr Godfrey, which will not be for some years. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Shelagh, I can get the tents or the children in the car. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
But not both! | 0:17:33 | 0:17:34 | |
May I refer you to my earlier offer to loan you my roof rack, | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-which you declined? -You may. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
I left it out for you in the hall at Nonnatus House. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:45 | |
Buenas vacaciones. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
Thank you. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
I keep wanting to avert my eyes but they're just too compelling! | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
I think shorts are a very practical choice for a camping holiday. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
And not amusing in any way at all! | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
I'm not looking. Really, I'm not. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
You could launch this car like a Sputnik, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
and this roof rack would not budge an inch. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
Patrick. We need to get going, it's already starting to rain. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
Fear not, Mrs T. Nurse Gilbert is on the case. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
What is it? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
I thought it might help keep the things on the roof rack dry. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
-It's an incontinence sheet from the charity box. -Perfect! | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
I hope it doesn't smell of urine. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
Ooh, by the way, Doc, I like the shorts. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
I had a pair like that in El Alamein. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
I had a pair in Monte Cassino. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
No wonder we won the war! | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
The place is upside down, Sister. I wasn't expecting you. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
I happened to be passing, | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
and thought I'd see if this young man had started behaving himself. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
He's all right. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Did you try taking him for a walk to settle him at bedtime? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
I told you, he's all right. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Judith? Your face... | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Oh, I-I've always been clumsy. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
It's even worse now I don't get any sleep. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-What happened? -I clumped myself one with the wardrobe door. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
Things can take time to settle down when a newborn comes along. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
We're here to help, whatever upsets you're having. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
Cry as much as you can bear to. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
Then tell me why, and what I can do. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
I couldn't tell you. I can't! | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
I can't. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
It's such a...a delicate matter. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
But there's a very young baby in the house. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
It's clearly a volatile situation. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
-Is she married? -Yes. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:09 | |
And to a good, steady man, as far as I can tell. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:13 | |
-But... -"Walking into doors" is never a good sign. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
And getting them to tell the truth is always difficult. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
The thing that disturbed me the most wasn't the bruise on her face. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
It was the one on her neck, by her shoulder. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
It looked as if someone had...sunk his teeth into her. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
-Like a bite mark? -It just looked so...vicious. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
Let me see if I can make enquiries. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
# Here comes summer School is out, oh happy day | 0:20:47 | 0:20:52 | |
# Here comes summer Gonna grab my girl and run away | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
# Here comes summer We'll go swimming every day | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
# And let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home | 0:21:04 | 0:21:10 | |
# Here comes summer We'll meet the gang at Joe's Cafe | 0:21:10 | 0:21:16 | |
# If she's willing We'll go steady right away | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
# Oh, let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home | 0:21:21 | 0:21:27 | |
# Let the sun shine bright | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
# Well, here comes summertime at last. # | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-Thank you. -A fine example of labour rewarded! | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
I haven't seen a spread like this | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
since the Coronation party at my old practice. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
You must help me out with these cream horns. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
Allow me. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
Sister Monica Joan is eschewing indulgence for religious reasons. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
And I'm partial to flaky pastry. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
I'm sorry to intrude, ladies, sir. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
How could you possibly intrude, Sergeant Noakes? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
You're one of the family. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
I actually called in regards to the attacks on, er, Judith Coleman | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
-and the girl on the street. -Do you mean Lizzie? -Yes. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
Because of the similarity of the bite marks on her neck, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
we can't rule out that they were attacked by the same man. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
I suppose there's a remote possibility | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
-that it might be Judith Coleman's husband. -Colin Coleman? I'm sorry, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
I've met more aggressive marshmallow bunnies. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
Or that Judith herself was out soliciting. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
-No! -Either way, if the situation at her home is volatile, | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
as you suggested, Sister Julienne, we'd put her at risk | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
if we went round and quizzed him. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
So our first port of call should be the other girl. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Lizzie was adamant that she wouldn't speak to the police. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
If you could come with me, we might be able to pull her round. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
May I, Sister Julienne? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
I would be grateful if you did. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
HEAVY RAINFALL | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
Room service. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
Oh, Patrick! | 0:22:50 | 0:22:51 | |
I put a nip of Scotch in from my handy secret hipflask. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
You wouldn't get that in the Ritz! | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Ooh! Oooh. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Ooh, at last! My knees are freezing. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
Patrick. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:09 | |
No. No, no. We're on our holidays. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
It doesn't matter. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
-Your sleeping bag's soaking wet! -At least it's WARM wet! | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
What are you thinking about? | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
The children. Do you suppose they'll be all right in their own tent? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
Of course they will. They're only about five feet away. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
What if it falls down again? | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
It won't, I promise you. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
What are you thinking about? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
The ulcer clinic. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
There's a couple of really nasty chronic venous cases that | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
-aren't responding to the new regime. -Patrick! | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
I'm sorry. But I'm just not sure about Godfrey. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
General practice is a young man's game. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
You're not supposed to be thinking about work. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
And if you don't mind my saying so, | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
you're not exactly Cliff Richard yourself. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
I could sing a chorus of Summer Holiday if you'd like me to! | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
CLATTER, CRYING | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
Oh, no! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:18 | |
Mum? Dad? Can we come in with you? | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
The trouble is, since the '59 Act, most women have | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
been forced off the kerb and into brothels and private premises. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
It's only the amateurs and the desperate who risk the streets. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
I don't know if Lizzie was amateur or professional, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
but she was desperate. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
I know that. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
She had children. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
When I think of my little Freddie tucked up in his bed, I could cry. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
-How IS Chummy? -Excellent, thank you. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
She's taken up pottery at night school, which is interesting. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
That's Lizzie! I remember that coat. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
Lizzie? Please stop. Lizzie! | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
You're not in any trouble. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
My friend, Sergeant Noakes, just wants to ask you a few questions. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
Nurse Gilbert told me what happened. I'd like to help. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
In which case, the best thing you can do is find out | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
where my husband went. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Because if you did that, | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
I wouldn't be having to sell myself to help feed the kids I had because | 0:25:28 | 0:25:32 | |
I gave myself - for nothing - to a man I thought might stick around! | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
-I'm sorry, Mrs... -Call me Lizzie. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
That's what I say to all the blokes. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
And I'm not saying anything else to you! | 0:25:46 | 0:25:48 | |
Morning. Sorry to keep you, Fred. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
Or maybe I should call you Mr Buckle, | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
-since I've asked you in on official business. -Civil Defence, Sergeant? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
We haven't the manpower to put extra bobbies on the streets. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
And until we're sure these attacks are connected, and ongoing, | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
I can't apply for reinforcements from outside the Division. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
But the CDC can put on extra patrols. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:18 | |
Confidence and safety of the public is paramount. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
It's why we serve. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:23 | |
SHE COUGHS | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
This is so much nicer than cooking at home. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
The trouble with chest disease, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-in the context of community medicine research... -Patrick. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
..is that it's largely presumed to affect the male population | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
-more than the female. -You're talking about work again. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
Sorry. It's the smoke, making you cough. It reminded me about... | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
Work. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-ANGELA CRIES Mum? -Where's Angela! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
She's down here. But she's seen a squirrel and she won't stop crying. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
I knew this would happen. She's petrified of squirrels. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:59 | |
She doesn't even like Squirrel Nutkin, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
and he's only a picture in a book! | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
It's all right, darling! Mummy's coming! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
Tin of rice pudding and an early night for you tonight. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Mum...? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:14 | |
I feel like I'm going to wet myself. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
Press your legs together. Don't let anything come out in a rush. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
I spy with my little eye... | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
something beginning with... | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
T-F. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:36 | |
Tent flap. Although the correct term is actually "the beckett". | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Is it? Your turn. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
And no animals beginning with S, please, | 0:27:44 | 0:27:46 | |
because we've just got Angela settled. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
B-H-I-R-O-T-R-S-T-C-I. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:59 | |
Bullet holes in ridge of tent, rain starting to come in. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:04 | |
Ten out of ten. Your turn. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... | 0:28:07 | 0:28:12 | |
R-N-H-I-S-O-T-W... | 0:28:12 | 0:28:18 | |
G-P-W-B-I-T-F-T-R-O-T-W. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:27 | |
What?! | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
Rather nice hotel I spotted on the way here. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
Get packed. We're booking in there for the rest of the week. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
I don't want you three playing silly beggars, | 0:28:41 | 0:28:43 | |
running all over the place tonight. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
Once you're in bed, you stay in bed, do you hear me? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
It's still light! | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
Never mind "it's still light"! People grow when they're asleep. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
If you can't stop in bed you'll end up a short-arse, | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
like your Uncle Sammy. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
Go on. You know the rules. Let's see if you can stick to 'em. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
-Night, Diane. -Night. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
Evidence would suggest that this man attacked two women | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
on two nights back-to-back. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
One was set upon here. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
The exact location of the second attack is unclear. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
We will be patrolling in pairs from 9pm until dawn. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:30 | |
-Dawn? You'd think there was a war on! -LAUGHTER | 0:29:30 | 0:29:33 | |
There is no cause for levity. Ladies' safety is at risk. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:38 | |
-What ladies? -MORE LAUGHTER | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
That's nice... | 0:29:41 | 0:29:43 | |
SHE MOANS AND GROANS | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
That's my girl. That's it. That's it. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:02 | |
Shh. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
That's it, you're doing so well. Well done. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:15 | |
SHE GROANS LOUDLY | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
No noise. There's a good girl. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
Bite down. Bite down. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
MUFFLED SQUEALING | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
The head's coming. We've got to get you out! | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
That's it. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
MUSIC ON TV | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
# Run, rabbit, run, rabbit Run, run, run. # | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
What's this programme called again? | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
Juke Box Jury. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:09 | |
They play the records to a panel of experts, | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
and then they give their verdict. | 0:31:11 | 0:31:13 | |
And they are often incorrect in their opinion. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
That is why we at Nonnatus House | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
generally confine ourselves to Songs Of Praise and Panorama. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
It's a bally catchy little tune. Who's singing it? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
Pinky And Perky. You can't see them, but they're pigs. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
Although they are not real. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
Doctor Godfrey! | 0:31:32 | 0:31:33 | |
I have just been flagged down in the street by a patient who's | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
been waiting for a house-call from you, since three o'clock | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
this afternoon, in acute pain with psoriatic arthritis. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
-Poor man. -Woman, as it happens. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
And I assured her she would be your first call tomorrow. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
I will be disappointed if you make a liar of me! | 0:31:51 | 0:31:55 | |
All care will be dispensed at thy dictates. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
Give her a robe, a shield and a helmet | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
and she'd be the double of Britannia. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
That's it! | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
The head's out. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:16 | |
When you feel another pain, you push like hell, do you hear me? | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
LOUD GRUNTING | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
That's it! That's it! | 0:32:34 | 0:32:36 | |
BABY CRIES | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
It's a boy! | 0:32:43 | 0:32:44 | |
-We've got a boy, Diane! -Can I see him? | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
In a minute. When I've tied and cut the cord. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:51 | |
Not been called out yet? | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
I am positively poised to spring into action. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
Shoes on, panstick applied, and one ear cocked for the telephone. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:07 | |
Where were YOU? | 0:33:07 | 0:33:09 | |
In Delia's room. She was just teaching me a new card game. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
Stay there. If you feel another pain, you push. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:30 | |
I just want to go to bed! | 0:33:30 | 0:33:32 | |
You can't! You've got to get rid of the afterbirth. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
None of mine took this long... | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
It's not right. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
Stay in here, and don't move. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
Mum! Don't leave me! | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:33:50 | 0:33:51 | |
Is that Nonnatus House? I need to speak to Nurse Franklin. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
I'm sure you'd rather talk to a doctor. The name's Godfrey. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
I've just delivered a baby, and the afterbirth hasn't come away. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
-And what is the patient's name? -Hills. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
It's been more than an hour-and-a-half! | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
The placenta can take its time, | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
but I expect you know that from your training. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
Employ Brandt Andrews, and, er, don't forget, good pull on the cord. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:16 | |
-Thank you, Doctor. -Best of British! | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
-Doctor Godfrey! -Apologies for appearing deshabille! | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
I have heard such enticing things about the midnight larder | 0:34:23 | 0:34:27 | |
at Nonnatus House. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:28 | |
The larder's in the kitchen. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
I came down because I heard the telephone. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
One of your colleagues struggling to deliver a placenta. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
She asked for you, but I obliged with procedural advice. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
-Which colleague? -She didn't give her name. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
Said the patient's name was Hills. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
I need you back on the floor. They told me what to do. Come on! | 0:35:06 | 0:35:12 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:35:14 | 0:35:15 | |
I'm sorry. I know you're only second on call, | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
but something distinctly odd has happened. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
I'm just going to pull on it, all right? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
SHE SCREAMS | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
SCREAMING | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
What's happened? | 0:35:59 | 0:36:00 | |
-What's your name, sweetie? -It's Diane. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
We're here to help, Diane. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
-What have I done? -Baby's well. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
Let me examine you and see what's causing all this pain. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:13 | |
-(Uterine inversion.) -I only did what the doctor said. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
I only pulled on the cord because the afterbirth was stuck. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:22 | |
You pulled too hard, Thora. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
It isn't just the afterbirth that's come out. It's Diane's womb. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
SHE WAILS | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
The placenta is still attached, and there's no haemorrhage. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
Thora, Thora, I want you to sit down and hold baby | 0:36:35 | 0:36:40 | |
while Nurse Franklin helps Diane. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:42 | |
It's all right, Diane, I'm a midwife. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
I'm going to call an ambulance. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
Sister! What are you doing out on your own? | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
I have to use the telephone. It's an emergency. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
Come on. You can have an escort there and back. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
Make believe you're the Queen. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
Help me. Please, help me... | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
Hold my hand. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
Can you feel how steady it is? I'm not shaking. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
And that's because I know what I'm doing, you're quite safe. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
Flying Squad will take half an hour to get here. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
That's all right. We can manage splendidly on our own. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
Can't we? | 0:37:37 | 0:37:39 | |
Yes, we can. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:41 | |
It's all right, Diane. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Nurse Franklin's going to set things to rights. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
It won't be uncomfortable for too long. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
-DIANE GROANS -Stay strong, sweetie, and stay still. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
I'm sorry, sweetheart. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:55 | |
You're being so brave, Diane. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
And I know you can be brave for a few moments longer... | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
I thought I could do it on my own. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
I thought I didn't need no-one else. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:06 | |
It's back in place. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
I'll follow them to Admissions. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:23 | |
Unfortunately we can't trust Thora to tell the truth - | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
might affect Diane's treatment. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
I'll find a neighbour to look in on the boys, | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
but I'll clean the kitchen first. I don't want anyone seeing that mess. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:35 | |
There's so much to hide. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
Shelagh. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
So much for getting back to nature. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
There are flowers on the table and feathers in these pillows. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:57 | |
That is all the nature I need to get back to. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
The children haven't come knocking. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
Do you suppose they're sleeping well? | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
Either that, or they've been mauled to death by squirrels! | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
-Shelagh. -Mm? | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
I want to call the surgery. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
Why? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
Because it will put my mind at rest. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
And then we'll REALLY be able to enjoy our holiday. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:30 | |
Instead of pretending. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:31 | |
Diane's gone into theatre now. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
The ward sister suggested you go home and telephone later. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
Am I going to lose her? | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
No. You aren't. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
All I could think about was her reputation. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
I had to get married when she was on the way. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:14 | |
No white wedding for me - it was straight down the registry | 0:40:14 | 0:40:18 | |
in a plum two-piece I borrowed off my cousin. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
One day, Diane will find a man that's worthy of her. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
And I for one will be outside that church | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
watching you flinging confetti. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
I put a flannel in her mouth to stop her from screaming. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
I never even let her hold him. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
I'm not cruel by nature. But I don't know which is worse. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
I think it's time that you put all that behind you now, Thora. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
Make a fresh start. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
Won't be a fresh start, though, will it? | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
Not if I keep on keeping secrets. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
No! | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
RINGING TONE | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
Ah, hello, operator? | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |

PHONE RINGS | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
SEAGULLS CALL | 0:42:01 | 0:42:04 | |
-A uterine inversion? -Yes. At a home delivery. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:05 | |
I should never have come away. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
We're going home. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:11 | |
Please, don't touch me. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
Oh, Sister. What were you thinking of, cycling alone? | 0:43:32 | 0:43:35 | |
We always do. I thought... I thought my habit would protect me. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:43 | |
But that was my arrogance, my fault. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:45 | |
You are not to even say the word "fault"! | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
Do you hear me? I won't allow it. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
Sister. What happened? | 0:43:52 | 0:43:54 | |
I wasn't raped. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
Before you ask me, I can say that. I wasn't raped. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:05 | |
You were viciously attacked. Just now, the details don't matter. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:08 | |
I don't want you to come near me! | 0:44:08 | 0:44:10 | |
I don't want anybody to touch me at all. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
I'll call Sergeant Noakes. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:19 | |
Do you know the worst thing? | 0:44:33 | 0:44:36 | |
No. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:38 | |
I don't know. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
And...I can't imagine it. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
The worst thing is that I'd actually stopped to pray. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:49 | |
I'd stopped, because I wanted to raise my prayers with yours... | 0:44:50 | 0:44:57 | |
..to sing inside my soul, when my Sisters were singing. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:03 | |
I wanted to give thanks for Trixie's skill, for what she'd done, | 0:45:05 | 0:45:10 | |
for the fact Diane had survived. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:11 | |
And it was one of the most beautiful moments I'd ever known. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
I felt so close to God, and then it happened. | 0:45:22 | 0:45:24 | |
Sister, would it help you to pray now? | 0:45:26 | 0:45:31 | |
-Pray now? -Yes. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:36 | |
No. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
Sergeant Noakes wants to interview you. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
And you will have to be examined by a doctor. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
No. I can't. Don't make me. | 0:45:46 | 0:45:49 | |
If no-one speaks out, this is going to go on happening and happening... | 0:45:50 | 0:45:55 | |
All I can think about now is what happened this morning, | 0:45:55 | 0:45:59 | |
when I thought God was at my shoulder. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
And there was someone else behind me all the time. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
Sister... | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
Don't talk to me gently! Don't be kind! | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
Because I'm angry! I'm angry, | 0:46:09 | 0:46:13 | |
and I don't know what to do, or...or...or what God wants of me. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:17 | |
I don't even know if He wants anything at all! | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
Sister... | 0:46:21 | 0:46:22 | |
just...let me hold you by the hand. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
I wouldn't be able to feel it. | 0:46:26 | 0:46:28 | |
It's as if I'm behind glass. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:33 | |
Or He's behind glass. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:35 | |
Scared to move in case everything breaks. | 0:46:39 | 0:46:41 | |
-Can I speak to her? -She doesn't want to. | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
And I cannot and will not force her to. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
-She's been brutalised enough. -Sister. Someone has to talk to us. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:55 | |
Or I don't know where it's going to end. | 0:46:56 | 0:46:58 | |
Sister, you're meant to be resting. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
I want to have a bath. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:06 | |
You can't. You have to be examined. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:08 | |
Why? I know what he did. I was there. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:11 | |
If you want a bath, you have one. But please let us help you. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:17 | |
Just don't lock the door. You were knocked unconscious this morning. | 0:47:18 | 0:47:22 | |
Please don't lock the door. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:24 | |
Judith. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:31 | |
After years and years of caring for mothers | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
and babies, I found that all pain passes, in the end. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:40 | |
I know that. I do know that. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
Sometimes it won't take its leave until we acknowledge it, | 0:47:43 | 0:47:47 | |
that it's there. Or WHY it's there. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
I didn't want to talk to anybody. You thought it could've been Colin. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:54 | |
The police could've thought I was on the game! Out at night, | 0:47:54 | 0:47:57 | |
-coming home with bite marks. -But we know the truth, Judith. | 0:47:57 | 0:48:00 | |
Not all of it. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:03 | |
I'm a bad mother, Sister. | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
And I was punished. | 0:48:06 | 0:48:07 | |
Can Colin come in? | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
'Babies cry. Everybody knows babies cry.' | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
But when it's yours, you can't ignore it. Ignoring's not allowed. | 0:49:00 | 0:49:06 | |
It isn't even possible. | 0:49:06 | 0:49:08 | |
So I thought I'd try the walking at night. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
You always give good advice. But it didn't make any difference. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:19 | |
And the crying gets inside your head... | 0:49:21 | 0:49:24 | |
..and in the end you can't tell if it's him screaming or you screaming. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:30 | |
And... | 0:49:32 | 0:49:33 | |
Love. It's all right. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:36 | |
And so I parked the pram, and I walked away. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:43 | |
I walked away. I abandoned my baby. | 0:49:45 | 0:49:50 | |
All I wanted was to not hear that crying any more. | 0:49:52 | 0:49:57 | |
And then I felt...him grab me from behind... | 0:49:59 | 0:50:04 | |
The man who hurt you? | 0:50:04 | 0:50:05 | |
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:08 | |
I'M sorry. I should've known... I should've helped you. | 0:50:08 | 0:50:13 | |
I can tell you. I wanted to tell you. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:17 | |
But how can I go to the police? | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
If I tell them the truth, I'll have social workers on me | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
saying I'm an unfit mother. And I am. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
You are not. And you've done nothing to be ashamed of. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:30 | |
That's not true. And I'm not going to speak to the police. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:33 | |
Thank you. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
There is a time for us to mortify our flesh. | 0:50:58 | 0:51:02 | |
And a time to cherish it, and marvel at its strength. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:11 | |
I've changed my mind. | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
You want to go to the police? | 0:51:46 | 0:51:48 | |
Other women can't because they're too afraid. | 0:51:48 | 0:51:52 | |
Afraid they'll get the blame. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
Afraid of what other people will think of them. | 0:51:56 | 0:52:00 | |
And I'm afraid of so many things. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:02 | |
But not that. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
He smelled of alcohol. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:15 | |
Not beer. I know what beer smells like, but it wasn't that. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:20 | |
And he was taller than me, but not as tall as some men. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:25 | |
And when...when he turned me round to face him, | 0:52:27 | 0:52:32 | |
I saw - quite clearly - that he had tattoos on both hands. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:37 | |
Is it working girls he went for? | 0:52:41 | 0:52:43 | |
He went for defenceless women who were | 0:52:43 | 0:52:45 | |
going about their ordinary business. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:47 | |
It's prison work. Soot or ink rubbed into cuts made with a knife. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:55 | |
I don't know that one. | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
This one says he's a convicted brigand. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
This one says what he thinks of his sentence. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:05 | |
I've had more old lags than you can shake a stick at come through | 0:53:05 | 0:53:08 | |
these doors, and I've never seen tats like that. | 0:53:08 | 0:53:11 | |
I have. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:13 | |
You get them on the Soviet lads, | 0:53:13 | 0:53:16 | |
the ones that come in with the Merchant Marine. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:18 | |
-Soviet? -So all you need to do is look up | 0:53:18 | 0:53:21 | |
what ship's come in under their flag. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
I've brought your tetanus jab, I'm afraid. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
-How are you feeling? -Lighter. | 0:53:39 | 0:53:42 | |
I thought, at first, that it was a test of faith. | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
But it was only a test of strength. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:50 | |
I can bear more than I ever thought I could. | 0:53:50 | 0:53:54 | |
And I can bear it for others, | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
because my strength is a gift from Him. | 0:53:56 | 0:54:00 | |
I can tell the truth, and not be ashamed. | 0:54:01 | 0:54:04 | |
It's like singing. EVERY voice counts. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:10 | |
Aren't you going to look at him? He's beautiful, Diane. | 0:54:18 | 0:54:22 | |
I've already got three little brothers. | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
He's your son. | 0:54:26 | 0:54:27 | |
I could've killed you. Because I-I didn't want you ruined. | 0:54:30 | 0:54:35 | |
Because I'd rather lie all my life - all your life, and his - | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
than tell the world to take a running jump. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:43 | |
People are going to wonder where your bump went. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:47 | |
And if they ask me, I'll tell them the truth. | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
Can I hold him? | 0:55:01 | 0:55:02 | |
Don't ask me. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
Just take him. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
He's yours. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:10 | |
I'm a mum, Mum. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:17 | |
And I don't even know where to start. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:21 | |
You just did. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:23 | |

No. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:14 | |
