0:00:31 > 0:00:34We speak of the dawn of a new day

0:00:34 > 0:00:37as though it is a wholly welcome thing.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42But there are times when dawn breaks into darkness...

0:00:44 > 0:00:47..forcing us to face the things we never knew we'd see.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56DOOR OPENS

0:01:02 > 0:01:03Cup of tea for you.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Drink it while it's hot.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09This time last year there was a wedding dress

0:01:09 > 0:01:10hanging from that picture rail.

0:01:28 > 0:01:33What I said to you when we arrived in South Africa still holds good.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37There are three things you need when you arrive in a foreign

0:01:37 > 0:01:40country - a scrub-up, a shave and a visit to the khazi.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I'm not in a foreign country, Fred.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'm in my own home.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46In a place where I've lived for years.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50- It just, er... - It feels like somewhere

0:01:50 > 0:01:51where you've never been before.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Now, you're big enough and ugly enough to make your own khazi

0:01:58 > 0:02:00and scrub-up arrangements.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02The shave you need to leave to me.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09We recount old beats of other stories.

0:02:10 > 0:02:17We retrace our steps, take refuge in echoes of that which is familiar.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23We follow custom and ritual because we have no map.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26We reach out blindly.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33We cannot see the path and, far from home,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36we cling to the way these things are always done.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42# Be still my soul

0:02:43 > 0:02:50# When change and tears are past

0:02:50 > 0:02:54# All safe and blessed

0:02:54 > 0:03:01# And we shall meet at last. #

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Please be seated.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Before we move out into the churchyard for the committal

0:03:11 > 0:03:16proceedings, Barbara's great friend and colleague Phyllis Crane

0:03:16 > 0:03:19will read a short poem to help us to gather our thoughts.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45BABY CRIES

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Sorry.- Oh. Please don't take the little one out.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54None of us objects to the sound of a crying child.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08"If I should die and leave you here awhile,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12"be not like others sore undone, who keep

0:04:12 > 0:04:15"long vigils by the silent dust, and weep."

0:04:18 > 0:04:22"For my sake - turn again to life

0:04:22 > 0:04:23"and smile..."

0:04:28 > 0:04:33"..nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do

0:04:33 > 0:04:37"something to comfort weaker hearts than thine."

0:04:41 > 0:04:45"Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine

0:04:45 > 0:04:49"and I, perchance may therein comfort you."

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Vi?- No, thank you.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08What's happened to Phyllis?

0:05:08 > 0:05:11She said she was going upstairs to get changed.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13- BELL RINGS - Oh.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14Off you pop.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18DOOR OPENS

0:05:20 > 0:05:23I've been called out to a Mrs Olive Mawson.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Nine months along, staying with family in the district.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37Are you going to go downstairs, Phyllis?

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I've never found grief and a cold spread to be an easy combination.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45The service itself is trial enough.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Your reading gave people a great deal of comfort.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Tom chose it.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53It seemed apt.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56We've got work to do, haven't we?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01The world doesn't stop.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Has it started?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Your daughter's fine for now, Mr Hodgkiss.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15You can go to work.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Go. - OLIVE WHIMPERS

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- They're what we call Braxton Hicks contractions, precious.- Mm.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30You have to think of it as Mother Nature tuning up her orchestra.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Try to relax a little.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34I thought I'd feel calmer when I moved back in with my dad.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40How about I make a cup of tea and you tell me why you did that?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- DOOR CREAKS - We're lucky the funeral didn't clash

0:06:44 > 0:06:46with Angela's birthday party,

0:06:46 > 0:06:50but I've still got my work cut out to get everything done by tomorrow.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Can't you just buy it all from a shop?

0:06:53 > 0:06:58We have to get back to the business of life, Patrick.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00And everything else, it's the opposite of the pain and the grief

0:07:00 > 0:07:02and the loss we saw today.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06I feel as though I'll drown if I don't do something positive.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Can I help?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17You can pass me things down off the high shelves.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Starting with the bunny blancmange mould and my piping nozzles.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Then go and change your tie before you head back to the surgery.

0:07:29 > 0:07:30My husband...

0:07:30 > 0:07:33was seeing another woman.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34I turned a blind eye.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39It was easy enough, as long as I ignored it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41But then I couldn't ignore it... BELL RINGS

0:07:41 > 0:07:42..any longer.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44Excuse me.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh, hello, Uncle Donald.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Ironing service.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Dad's already gone to work. You done his shirt for today.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, he...he'll need a clean one tomorrow.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Sorry, Nurse.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Unexpected visitor.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14The laundry basket's on the draining board.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Uncle Donald was in the Navy.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Makes men quite handy, life at sea.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Mr Hereward.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Your parents say they're ready to leave when you are.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40I'm not sure I want to go with them now.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think it might be preferable to spending time alone.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I've got years to do that, haven't I?

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Did you know that Barbara's name is still on the call

0:08:59 > 0:09:01board in the clinical room?

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Chalk doesn't rub out as completely as you think.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'll go with my parents.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21And next week I will come back...

0:09:23 > 0:09:24..and I will start again.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38SHE SIGHS

0:09:43 > 0:09:47Why...won't you...work?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I cannot obtain access to the television news.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Have the angels abandoned us completely?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37CHILDREN CHEER

0:10:58 > 0:11:00- SHE GASPS - Ready?

0:11:01 > 0:11:04And wait for Daddy to say when.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05One, two...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- PHONE RINGS - ..three - NOW!

0:11:11 > 0:11:12Sorry.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Come on, everyone! Let's try that again.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Dad, can I have a go?

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Indeed! My response would be to say that I find your attitude

0:11:26 > 0:11:27highly presumptuous.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31And that you won't receive an answer from this practice

0:11:31 > 0:11:33until the matter's been discussed with Dr Turner.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Have I been called out?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38No. That was the Officer for Health,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41needing to speak urgently, and informing us

0:11:41 > 0:11:44that Warkworth Street maternity home is to be closed down.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Still, Dr Gillies should have been put out to pasture years ago.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49He's apparently moving to a modernised group practice

0:11:49 > 0:11:53in Lewisham and most of his patients, including his

0:11:53 > 0:11:56mothers-to-be, are being referred to us with immediate effect.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Shelagh, our maternity home has only got four beds.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03The children are going to finish their jelly and cream

0:12:03 > 0:12:05and have a lovely game of oranges and lemons,

0:12:05 > 0:12:07then we'll come up with a plan.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14ALARM RINGS

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Oh.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Something the matter, Phyllis?

0:12:22 > 0:12:23My back.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I thought I felt something go

0:12:27 > 0:12:30when I bent down to pick up some soil beside the grave.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35If we were to take on this caseload, it means that there would be

0:12:35 > 0:12:39more than 30 extra babies due in the next month alone.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Dare I ask whether Warkworth Street have

0:12:41 > 0:12:45passed on details of all their discarded patients?

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Unfortunately, no.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49But we do have this.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Ooh, would you like me to fetch you some embrocation, Nurse Crane?

0:12:54 > 0:12:56No, I would not!

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I would like you and your colleagues

0:12:58 > 0:13:01to put together as many additional home-delivery packs as we may

0:13:01 > 0:13:05now require and await further instructions.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06Yes, Nurse Crane.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hello, er, television repairs.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17I've had reports of ghosting and a very loud whistle.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I take it you've tried wiggling the aerial?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I haven't tried any remedy at all.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Your mind has been fixed on matters of great sadness.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35But our young friend has passed to a better place than this

0:13:35 > 0:13:39and leaves behind a world more in need of prayer than ever.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42That is why I require untrammelled

0:13:42 > 0:13:44access to the television news,

0:13:44 > 0:13:47so that we know who to pray for.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I wish you luck with that.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Your cathode ray tube's gone.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Oh.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20HE CLEARS THROAT

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I'm afraid you're slightly early, madam.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Has anyone taken your ticket?

0:14:25 > 0:14:30I surmise you're what is known as the commissionaire.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32No, I'm the projectionist.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Please be advised that my interest is entirely

0:14:38 > 0:14:40confined to the news reel,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42which is surely a public service

0:14:42 > 0:14:44and therefore complimentary?

0:14:44 > 0:14:47It's generally considered complimentary,

0:14:47 > 0:14:49as long as you've paid to see the main attraction.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51What is that?

0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57A philosophical treatise, perhaps.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01I'm sure my order will pose no objection.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06My daughter Olive's under your midwives at the moment.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Oh.- Hm! I'll see you're provided with refreshments.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11HE CHUCKLES

0:15:16 > 0:15:21Perfect! This is just the right time of year for planting tulips.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24You see, the soil's cold,

0:15:24 > 0:15:26so the bulbs don't get bothered by the fungus

0:15:26 > 0:15:29and all them creepy-crawlies in the soil.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Your mum's going to love these.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Nurse Barbara looks lonely.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46No. She's got your mum to keep her company, hasn't she?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48But my mum was old.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56The latest fashion, that's what Kathy Victoria's looking for,

0:15:56 > 0:15:59but quite frankly that speckled toffee and cream ensemble

0:15:59 > 0:16:01doesn't seem to make it.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03It's too thick to lie flat enough with a double fold.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13And here's where the newest fashion trick...

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Good afternoon, ladies.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18We'll be running things slightly differently today.

0:16:18 > 0:16:23Everyone who normally attends this clinic should go to Sister Julienne

0:16:23 > 0:16:28at the table on the right, and if you were previously looked after at

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Warkworth Street, you are to see me, so that you can be re-registered.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Please have your co-op card ready.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Doctor will need to see anyone who's new.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Can I smuggle a cup of tea in for you, Nurse Crane?

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Or would you rather have a gratis selection of functional

0:16:50 > 0:16:52- lumbar vertebrae? - SHE CHUCKLES

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Another one with more sugar than Shirley Temple.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I don't think one of these women from Warkworth Street has been

0:16:57 > 0:16:58properly monitored.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01My mum said you'd want to see my wee.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Ooh, crunchy peanut butter.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I prefer the smooth myself.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08I hope you've washed that jar out.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Or else your urine will be chock-full of protein before

0:17:10 > 0:17:11we even start.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22You're lovely and perky for a first-time visitor.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Some people find it all a bit daunting.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28I've had long enough to get used to the idea.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I kept hoping it would go away.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Hmm. Hope doesn't really help in these cases.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36How long have you been married?

0:17:36 > 0:17:40I'm not. My mum lent me her ring for coming here.

0:17:40 > 0:17:41And where is she today?

0:17:41 > 0:17:43On a shift at the sugar works.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45We made up our minds, I'm not keeping the baby.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49I'll talk to the social worker.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58PASSERS-BY GASP AND MUTTER

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Good.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Nurse...

0:18:21 > 0:18:23..how long does it take to get a council flat?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27There are waiting lists.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29But I can get you the forms.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- You aren't thinking of going back to your husband, then?- Oh, no. No.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37I'm just not sure this is going to be a very good house for a baby to

0:18:37 > 0:18:38live in.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- DOOR OPENS - Myrna?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Myrna?- I am not my mother, Uncle Donald!

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Oh.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Your father really loves her.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Where are your trousers?

0:18:55 > 0:18:57You will catch your death going around like that, sir.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- OLIVE SOBS - I think you're forgetting

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- it's November.- Hm? Ge...

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Let me get this gentleman organised, then we can find a way ahead.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Ow, ow, ow! Ow! Ow!

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Don't panic.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14That will be just another one of those practice contractions.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16SHE WHIMPERS

0:19:37 > 0:19:40The gentleman's name is Donald Chapman

0:19:40 > 0:19:42and, as I said,

0:19:42 > 0:19:44neatly dressed in a short raincoat, shirt and tie.

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Neatly dressed, but wearing nothing below the waist?

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Nothing that I could see, Sergeant,

0:19:51 > 0:19:53or had the inclination to enquire about.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Hello, Nurse Crane. Hello, Mum.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Reggie!

0:20:00 > 0:20:02What have you brought home this time?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Spoons for you.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Spoons? How lovely, Reggie.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09You can never have too many spoons.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Three and nine.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Trouble is he's getting more and more bored every minute.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17They were doing shopping in independence training

0:20:17 > 0:20:18before he went away.

0:20:18 > 0:20:23Now every time I turn my back, he's down Chrisp Street buying tat.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I hope no-one is taking advantage.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28He's too trusting.

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Ow!

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Ooh. Your poor back.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37And...

0:20:40 > 0:20:41There you go!

0:20:43 > 0:20:44Could I have a go, Mr Hodgkiss?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Erm... Oh, go on.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Once it's in the splicer,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53make sure you scrape off every trace of emulsion.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56And, yes, that's the side you'll be sticking to the acetate.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Telephone call for you, Mr Hodgkiss.

0:21:03 > 0:21:04KNOCK AT DOOR

0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Enter. - DOOR OPENS

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Nurse Dyer. What can I do for you?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Oh, there's nothing amiss.

0:21:12 > 0:21:13I'm glad to hear it.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17We are sorely tried at the present time

0:21:17 > 0:21:19and your good humour has not gone unnoticed.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Smiling isn't hard work.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Even when it's hard, you just make the shape with your face

0:21:24 > 0:21:27and the rest takes care of itself.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Yes.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Sister Julienne.

0:21:33 > 0:21:34I don't know what the rules are but

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'd like to understand how your faith helps you

0:21:37 > 0:21:38in difficult times.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Would it be all right if I came and sat in on prayers?

0:21:41 > 0:21:42Once in a while.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47You are completely welcome to attend chapel whenever you wish.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Why not join us tomorrow morning?

0:21:49 > 0:21:50I will.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00You my doctor?

0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'm duty physician for the police this week, which is

0:22:03 > 0:22:06why they sent for me when they found you by the river.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08You do have a bit of a fever,

0:22:08 > 0:22:11which might have worsened any symptoms you already have.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Made you a bit confused, perhaps.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Weather's turned a bit nippy.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Antibiotics will get any infection on the run.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Have you someone who can tuck you up with a hot water bottle?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm a very lucky man.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Is your wife in good health?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40I don't have one of those.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- That's not her knitting then?- No.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47I was in the Navy.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'll drop him safely at home.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55It's on my way.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Begging your pardon, doctor, but, er, whilst

0:22:58 > 0:23:01the gentleman was missing, we investigated our records...

0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Yes?- He was in front of the magistrates for gross indecency some

0:23:05 > 0:23:0815 years ago, after being arrested in Limehouse.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11There was an earlier offence before the war.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14If he is homosexual, he is homosexual.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16It makes no difference to his current plight.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19With respect, doctor, it makes a difference

0:23:19 > 0:23:22when he's running round my district minus his nether garments.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Erm, I've come to enquire after a Mr Chapman.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30He's my neighbour.

0:23:40 > 0:23:41Oh.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, Lord, our heavenly Father,

0:23:50 > 0:23:52we pray for Elizabeth our Queen, for Michael, our Archbishop

0:23:52 > 0:23:54and Robert, our Bishop.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56We also pray today for the people involved in the factory

0:23:56 > 0:23:58explosion in Japan.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00May the Lord help and sustain us.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Lord have mercy.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04For those preparing for the by-election in Dumfriesshire

0:24:04 > 0:24:06and for all those called upon to participate

0:24:06 > 0:24:08in the Royal Variety Performance.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12May the Lord sustain and help them.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Lord have mercy.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17For the British nylon industry,

0:24:17 > 0:24:21most notably those workers engaged in the manufacture of beachwear,

0:24:21 > 0:24:26lingerie, novelty embroidered hose and concealed zip fasteners.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28May the Lord sustain and help them.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Lord have mercy.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31For Mr Spencer Tracy,

0:24:31 > 0:24:35so selflessly engaged in the pursuit of the missing fortune, and for

0:24:35 > 0:24:41all those professionally engaged in It's A Mad, Mad, Mad...Mad World.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45Sister, might we move on to the prayers for the sick and needy?

0:24:47 > 0:24:48G...

0:24:49 > 0:24:54I'm glad we drew matters to a close before we asked the Lord to help

0:24:54 > 0:24:59and sustain the showgirls of Ricardo's Revuebar.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00These are the events

0:25:00 > 0:25:05and personalities the Almighty himself imposed upon our world.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09And I am imposing a ban upon any more visits to the Palazzo Cinema.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12You may draw the content for our prayers

0:25:12 > 0:25:15from the BBC Home Service until the television is repaired.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Is that a butterfly cake?

0:25:19 > 0:25:22Yes. Mrs Turner sent some after Angela's party.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26I had thought to save it for the anniversary of my own birth,

0:25:26 > 0:25:31which will otherwise doubtless go unmarked since joy now sits

0:25:31 > 0:25:34so ill within these walls.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37I really don't think that this is the proper time for any

0:25:37 > 0:25:39sort of levity.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Perfume! For you.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Aw, that's thoughtful, Reggie.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48You're welcome.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56How much money did they take off him for that?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58There's hardly any left.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01It lowers my opinion of people, Fred.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Well, what if it raises Reggie's opinion of himself?

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Lots of people get pleasure from giving presents, Vi.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09SHE CLICKS TONGUE

0:26:13 > 0:26:14Hello.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16So, you haven't brought a urine sample,

0:26:16 > 0:26:18you haven't brought your co-op card

0:26:18 > 0:26:22and you tried the iron tablets but you didn't like them.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25I'm sorry, nurse, but they made my jobs go black.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Every time I went to the lav it was like an explosion

0:26:27 > 0:26:28in a charcoal factory.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31A factual account of your experience would suffice.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Drawers off, please, and up on the couch.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36You don't take any prisoners, do you?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Can you give us a hand up?

0:26:42 > 0:26:43Erm...

0:26:43 > 0:26:46I'm incommoded by my lumbago, I'm afraid.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Do you reckon you might be a bit old to be doing this?

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Do you reckon you might be too young?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Blimey.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I hope I don't get you when the big day comes.

0:27:02 > 0:27:03Go on, shuffle back.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16HE SIGHS

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Pen, leaf, comb,

0:28:00 > 0:28:02shilling, thimble...

0:28:03 > 0:28:04..book of matches.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07This'll be a breeze.

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Those antibiotics have been just the ticket.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13I want you to study them at your leisure.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16Then I'm going to take the tray away,

0:28:16 > 0:28:20remove some of the objects and ask you to tell me what's missing.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26You...you just want me to look at them?

0:28:27 > 0:28:28Take your time.

0:28:55 > 0:28:58Have a good look and tell me what you think has gone.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Er...

0:29:06 > 0:29:07Erm.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14It was the coin, it was a white...

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Er, no.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Er, silver...

0:29:31 > 0:29:33HE SIGHS

0:29:41 > 0:29:42I want to go home now.

0:29:44 > 0:29:45Hey, come on, pal.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48- HE WHIMPERS - There's no point running.

0:29:50 > 0:29:51We'll face up to this together.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04Don't mind us, Mrs Chowdury, we're just doing a few home improvements.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07Halfway along that wall, if you'd be so kind, Nurse Anderson.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10This is all going to get a bit cosy, Mrs Turner.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14It'll get even cosier if central supplies can find us another bed.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15Five will scarcely be enough.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17The double order's just arrived from the laundry.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21Let's make up this bed and then put the next new one in the side ward.

0:30:21 > 0:30:23It will be doing duty as a second delivery room.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Will we still only have one gas and air machine?

0:30:25 > 0:30:28We can use the portable devices from Nonnatus House.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30But if the roster I've drawn up works,

0:30:30 > 0:30:32we should have plenty of midwives.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Sister Evangelina used to say that the best medicine for pain

0:30:35 > 0:30:37was the presence of another person.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47- We've had some nice walks down here, haven't we?- Yeah.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48Over the years.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54One day we might see it in daylight.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56DONALD CHUCKLES

0:31:01 > 0:31:03What was it the doctor called it?

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Presenile dementia.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Is that like old age?

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Well...

0:31:13 > 0:31:15..there's no cure for it.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19Won't string together, Stan.

0:31:21 > 0:31:22What won't, pal?

0:31:22 > 0:31:23This.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26What's in my head.

0:31:26 > 0:31:28It's like those times when you used to take me to the...

0:31:28 > 0:31:31the propelling...

0:31:31 > 0:31:33- propeller room.- Projection room.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Yeah, and you used to show me all those bits of film, all broken up,

0:31:36 > 0:31:37you know, snipped up and separate.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40And then you used to stick them all altogether again

0:31:40 > 0:31:43and then you'd put them on a wheel and you'd

0:31:43 > 0:31:44shine a light through it

0:31:44 > 0:31:50and they'd all go round so smooth and easy and...

0:31:50 > 0:31:51..it all made perfect sense.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now, that's why they call it the magic of the movies.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I can't stitch them together, Stan.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04The pictures in my head.

0:32:04 > 0:32:05I can't make them go round smooth.

0:32:12 > 0:32:13Come here.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22What am I going to do with you, pal?

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Take you to work with me and sit you in the two and nines?

0:32:29 > 0:32:30Well, you...

0:32:30 > 0:32:33..buy me a choc ice, you never know your luck.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55Mr Hereward. You're just in time for morning coffee and a ginger nut.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56I brought you these.

0:33:05 > 0:33:06Mr Hereward,

0:33:06 > 0:33:08I think that if a parishioner who had just lost their wife

0:33:08 > 0:33:11came to you two weeks later and said that they wanted to give away

0:33:11 > 0:33:14her clothes, you would tell them it was far too soon.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17But I always tell bereaved people to think of one gesture -

0:33:17 > 0:33:22one little thing - that will help them to start moving forward again.

0:33:22 > 0:33:23I thought this might be it.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Barbara lived to help others.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32The person Barbara would most want to help right now is you.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36And she can't, so I'm going to do it for her.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37I will take these for safekeeping

0:33:37 > 0:33:40until you're more sure of your own mind.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Her father wants me to go out to New Guinea.

0:33:46 > 0:33:50He suggested I stay on to do mission work with him.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53I've been offered a leave of absence by the Bishop but, er...

0:33:53 > 0:33:55Will you take it?

0:33:55 > 0:33:58How can I? How can I go anywhere if I can't take Barbara?

0:34:01 > 0:34:02And I can't leave her behind.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06You will find a way.

0:34:07 > 0:34:08Or you will be shown.

0:34:09 > 0:34:10I promise you.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17You can't just move Uncle Donald into this house, Dad, you can't!

0:34:17 > 0:34:19I'm about to have a baby,

0:34:19 > 0:34:21A baby doesn't take up much room.

0:34:21 > 0:34:22You said that yourself when you moved in!

0:34:22 > 0:34:25Well, in case you hadn't noticed, Dad, Uncle Donald is a grown man!

0:34:25 > 0:34:26What will people think?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- They'll think he's the lodger. - SHE GROANS

0:34:31 > 0:34:34Why don't you go and make us all a cuppa, Donald?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Tea's in the caddy with the Queen on.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Sugar's in Princess Margaret.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39- Oh. - HE CHUCKLES

0:34:39 > 0:34:41No sugar, she's sweet enough.

0:34:47 > 0:34:52When Mum was dying, she told me and you to look after each other.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56And she said much the same to me and Donald.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57Why would she say that?

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Well, you can draw your own conclusions.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01Or settle for least said, soonest mended.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04Your mother and I set a lot of store by that.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07Was it least said, soonest mended when he was had up in court?

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Was it least said, soonest mended

0:35:09 > 0:35:12when his filthy behaviour was all over the Poplar News?

0:35:12 > 0:35:14- I never knew you knew. - I don't know what I knew,

0:35:14 > 0:35:15but I knew about that.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18I just, I thought that you were just friends.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20He was my friend.

0:35:20 > 0:35:21Until your mother died.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25And he's been more than that ever since.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33Why did she tell you to look after each other?

0:35:33 > 0:35:37Because of things, erm...we didn't need to discuss.

0:35:39 > 0:35:40I was married to her.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44He lived with his grandmother.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49- This is turning my stomach! - Olive, he loved you like a niece.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51But what did you love him like, Dad?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53In a way that's best left unsaid.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05DOOR SLAMS

0:36:11 > 0:36:12Oh.

0:36:18 > 0:36:20I couldn't put them in the store room.

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Simply couldn't.

0:36:25 > 0:36:27Barbara belongs in here, with us.

0:36:27 > 0:36:31And what's more, we're going to have a sherry in her memory.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Sherry?- It's the only thing she'd drink, being a vicar's wife.

0:36:37 > 0:36:38- Well, erm... - SHE CLEARS THROAT

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Not on call tonight.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43Ah!

0:36:43 > 0:36:46We must raise a glass to Trixie, too,

0:36:46 > 0:36:49sunning herself with her godmother in Portofino.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53I'd get burnt to a crisp sunning myself in Portofino.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Not that I'd actually ever go there.

0:36:56 > 0:37:00Sister, is Sister Julienne really not going to let

0:37:00 > 0:37:04Sister Monica Joan have a little birthday celebration?

0:37:04 > 0:37:10I'm sure the order would run to a sponge cake with a candle on it.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12But she's just not allowed to receive presents.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15They'd count as personal possessions.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Er, maybe there's a few snaps of her we could

0:37:18 > 0:37:20put on display on the sideboard?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22- Between some nicely arranged balloons?- Mmm.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25I expect we could come up with something from the order's archive.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28But absolutely no balloons.

0:37:28 > 0:37:29No balloons.

0:37:31 > 0:37:32To Barbara.

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Hello, Reggie.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Did Nurse Barbara like roses?

0:37:55 > 0:37:57She carried them on our wedding day.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Last year.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01But did she really like them?

0:38:02 > 0:38:05She wasn't really a red roses sort of girl.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08But she liked so many things.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12It was a lovely wedding.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14You had a carousel.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16Yes.

0:38:27 > 0:38:31- SHE SIGHS - I think my waters have gone.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33They've been dribbling away all night.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Are you moving in, Mrs Mawson?

0:38:37 > 0:38:39I can't live in that house any more.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44I've referred two twin cases

0:38:44 > 0:38:47and one elderly multigravida to St Cuthbert's.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Given all the extra patients we've taken in from Walworth Street, that

0:38:51 > 0:38:54still leaves us with 16 mothers at term in the next ten days.

0:38:54 > 0:38:59Well, Mrs Lewis had her baby yesterday, so that leaves us four

0:38:59 > 0:39:02beds ready, I've ordered in twice the usual amounts of

0:39:02 > 0:39:04pethidine and chloral hydrate,

0:39:04 > 0:39:06plus an extra lamp for the temporary delivery room.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Olive Mawson to be admitted. - BABY CRIES

0:39:12 > 0:39:14SHE HUMS

0:39:14 > 0:39:16- DOOR OPENS - There we go.

0:39:17 > 0:39:19Hells bells, sister.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21I can't believe I'm doing this at my age.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24- I can't.- We'll soon have you on the bed and then you can leave

0:39:24 > 0:39:29everything to us. You'll see we run like a well-oiled machine.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Oh. Marvellous!

0:39:32 > 0:39:34I think we'll find that's helped things on a lot. Erm...

0:39:34 > 0:39:37- SHE CLEARS THROAT - Gangway.

0:39:37 > 0:39:38It's just over here.

0:39:43 > 0:39:44Oh.

0:39:46 > 0:39:47Hello, love.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54PHONE RINGS

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Ooh.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Nonnatus House. Midwife speaking.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Hello is that Nurse Crane? It's Mr Chen. My wife's in labour.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17Ah, Nurse Crane. I'm going out to Mrs Chen.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20As far as I can tell, things are moving very rapidly.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22I'm sorry, I can't seem to get going.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24It's as if I'm frozen.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25Or my back is.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I just don't understand you, Dad.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38I don't need you to understand me.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40- KNOCK AT DOOR - Excuse me.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43- Am I hearing raised voices in here? - Yes!

0:40:43 > 0:40:48Maybe I need YOU to understand ME. Maybe I need you to look at me,

0:40:48 > 0:40:50on my own,

0:40:50 > 0:40:52and try and imagine what that must be like

0:40:52 > 0:40:56to spend half your life looking at people like you and Mum who love

0:40:56 > 0:40:58each other, regardless.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01And then you're standing next to him, regardless!

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Come, now. These things will keep.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07And then to find that when you need to be loved, when you need to be

0:41:07 > 0:41:11stood by, that there is no-one doing anything of the kind.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15I...I'd say that was terrible.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17- SHE GROANS - If it was true.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20- But it's not true.- You can tell her that again when she's done.

0:41:24 > 0:41:25It isn't true.

0:41:26 > 0:41:29Good girl. Good girl.

0:41:40 > 0:41:42Where are we going now, then?

0:41:42 > 0:41:46- Nowhere.- Sometimes back pain is the sign that baby is on its way.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50You did absolutely the right thing coming in to see doctor.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52This way and we'll pop you on the ward.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53Should I come, too?

0:41:53 > 0:41:56Oh. Are you in labour, dear?

0:41:56 > 0:41:57I reckon so.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Then you better had.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06SHE GROANS

0:42:06 > 0:42:07You're doing so well, precious.

0:42:10 > 0:42:12I feel like I'm being torn in two.

0:42:14 > 0:42:15Try closing your eyes.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19Try thinking about a time when you felt really, really safe.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25I always felt safe when I was a little girl.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27KNOCK AT DOOR

0:42:33 > 0:42:34How's Mrs Mawson doing?

0:42:34 > 0:42:36Oh, head's descending well.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39- We're not far off delivery.- Good.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Can you please come to the ward? It's all hands on deck.

0:42:45 > 0:42:48PHONE RINGS

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Nonnatus House.

0:42:55 > 0:42:56How may I assist you?

0:42:56 > 0:42:59I need you to get here as quickly as you can

0:42:59 > 0:43:00and bring extra gas and air.

0:43:00 > 0:43:02Thank you.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04GROANING

0:43:04 > 0:43:06I can see baby's head now, Olive,

0:43:06 > 0:43:10and unless I'm mistaken, it's got a beautiful head of hair.

0:43:12 > 0:43:15That's right, I'll hang onto the gas mask

0:43:15 > 0:43:16and you take care of the sick bowl.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Pudendal block.

0:43:23 > 0:43:24Sh.

0:43:29 > 0:43:33- Ooh!- Can I be of some assistance, Nurse Crane?

0:43:33 > 0:43:38Maternity home, if you would be so kind, Sergeant Woolf.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41And could I prevail upon you to put your foot down?

0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Will do.- Ooh!

0:43:50 > 0:43:52WAILING

0:43:52 > 0:43:54It's all right, chick.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57This is just your body doing lots of really strong work.

0:44:00 > 0:44:03So we can get this baby out into the world.

0:44:04 > 0:44:08That's it, that's it, keep up that push. Keep it up.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10CRYING AND GROANING

0:44:13 > 0:44:16- Perfect work! - BABY CRIES

0:44:16 > 0:44:19We have a head.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22I'm going to come off the bed, I'm going to come off!

0:44:22 > 0:44:24No, you're not. You're all right.

0:44:24 > 0:44:25Nearly there.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27Here we go again.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29Keep pushing.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31- SHE WAILS - Keep pushing.

0:44:33 > 0:44:35- That's it.- Good girl!

0:44:40 > 0:44:41Oh!

0:44:43 > 0:44:44Aren't you the clever one?

0:44:45 > 0:44:48BABY CRIES

0:44:49 > 0:44:50You have a daughter, Olive.

0:44:57 > 0:44:59A beautiful boy!

0:44:59 > 0:45:00Beautiful!

0:45:00 > 0:45:03He looks like my grandad Cafferty

0:45:03 > 0:45:06and he was a bare-knuckle fighter. THEY CHUCKLE

0:45:06 > 0:45:08He'll improve. They always do.

0:45:18 > 0:45:19Aw!

0:45:20 > 0:45:23Aw! Hello.

0:45:23 > 0:45:24Hello!

0:45:26 > 0:45:27Oh, look at you!

0:45:42 > 0:45:43Josie Winterlee?

0:45:47 > 0:45:51- That's it.- I was hoping for one of the young ones.

0:45:51 > 0:45:53Or the nice ones.

0:45:53 > 0:45:54You don't like me.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58I'm your midwife.

0:45:58 > 0:46:01Our personal feelings for each another are neither here nor there.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Conserve your strength.

0:46:07 > 0:46:08Another big push.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10- GROANING - That's it.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12Well done. Well done.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14Well done.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16- I'm scared. - Come on, another big one.

0:46:16 > 0:46:18You stick with me, lass.

0:46:18 > 0:46:20I'll see you through.

0:46:20 > 0:46:21And here come the shoulders.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33SHE COOS

0:46:35 > 0:46:36A perfect little boy.

0:46:44 > 0:46:47GROANING Good, Josie.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50That's it, lass.

0:46:50 > 0:46:52If they were going to give out medals for pushing,

0:46:52 > 0:46:56they'd have to mint you one in solid gold.

0:46:56 > 0:46:57I've never won a prize.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59It must be a nice thing to have.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Sh.

0:47:01 > 0:47:05WHISPERS: Good lass. Good lass.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Don't let go of this contraction.

0:47:09 > 0:47:10Yes!

0:47:14 > 0:47:15Look what you've done!

0:47:17 > 0:47:18Here he is.

0:47:18 > 0:47:19Your prize.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33Do they have a hairdresser that comes in?

0:47:33 > 0:47:36It's not like in the films, Dad.

0:47:36 > 0:47:37Oh.

0:47:37 > 0:47:41Oh. Oh, you're a little corker.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45Didn't you do well?

0:47:48 > 0:47:51I don't think you really have any idea who I am,

0:47:51 > 0:47:52do you, Uncle Donald?

0:47:54 > 0:47:55No.

0:47:58 > 0:48:00But I know that you're someone we love.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13- WHISPERS:- I reckon we can make a go of that, don't you?

0:48:15 > 0:48:16I can't give you much.

0:48:17 > 0:48:19But I can show you what a family looks like.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Oh.

0:48:34 > 0:48:36See a pin and pick it up,

0:48:36 > 0:48:38and all day long you'll have good luck.

0:48:39 > 0:48:40Your lumbago's better.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Oh, so it is.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Some people aren't in your life for very long.

0:48:50 > 0:48:53Her father wasn't in mine for more than a minute.

0:48:53 > 0:48:54Blink and you'd miss him.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58I won't be in hers for more than a few days.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59Maybe a fortnight.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02You might have as much as six weeks together in a decent mother

0:49:02 > 0:49:04and baby place.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08Will I be allowed to give her a name?

0:49:08 > 0:49:09Of course you will.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13It'll be something to remember me by.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Even if the people who she goes to live with pick a different one.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19Like a sort of present.

0:49:19 > 0:49:21It'll be written down on a piece of paper somewhere, won't it?

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Do you have anything in mind?

0:49:26 > 0:49:27Yes, I do.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30It popped into my head, just before, I don't know why.

0:49:32 > 0:49:33Barbara.

0:49:35 > 0:49:36Barbara?

0:49:37 > 0:49:40Must have been floating round the room like a moth or

0:49:40 > 0:49:41a butterfly or something.

0:49:43 > 0:49:44Waiting to be caught.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49I'll take her and put her in the nursery.

0:49:56 > 0:49:57Oh.

0:49:59 > 0:50:00Come along, Barbara.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10And the winner is Baby Mawson...

0:50:10 > 0:50:14- Aw!- ..tipping the scales at 8lb and 7oz.

0:50:14 > 0:50:16- DOOR OPENS - I'm so sorry.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20- SHE SOBS - President Kennedy's been shot.

0:50:20 > 0:50:24Mrs Kennedy has now arrived back in Washington,

0:50:24 > 0:50:28appearing on the aeroplane steps in the pink suit she was wearing

0:50:28 > 0:50:33when the president was shot. She is...

0:50:33 > 0:50:35We have mourned enough in recent weeks.

0:50:35 > 0:50:38We have shed tears for one we loved

0:50:38 > 0:50:41and lived in the hollow she left behind.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46We cannot surrender to more tears because of this.

0:50:46 > 0:50:50He was the president of the United States of America.

0:50:50 > 0:50:54We are leaping into grief as if we had embraced

0:50:54 > 0:50:56it as a form of recreation.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58We are not what we have lost.

0:50:58 > 0:51:02We are not what has been taken from us.

0:51:02 > 0:51:06You are all too willing to embrace the void.

0:51:06 > 0:51:12If you do not cherish what remains, you will all become as nothing.

0:51:12 > 0:51:15You will be nothing.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18We are not broken.

0:51:18 > 0:51:22We are each as whole as we will ever be again.

0:51:22 > 0:51:26And in the end, when we cease to be,

0:51:26 > 0:51:28we will all become memories.

0:51:44 > 0:51:46I bought you a present.

0:51:46 > 0:51:50- What's this? - Something Nurse Barbara would like.

0:51:51 > 0:51:54KNOCK AT DOOR

0:51:54 > 0:51:57I went to the archive and look what I found.

0:52:01 > 0:52:04I've not been slacking either. I was up at cockcrow!

0:52:07 > 0:52:08Go safely, Tim.

0:52:09 > 0:52:10Thank you.

0:52:13 > 0:52:15Oh.

0:52:15 > 0:52:16There you go!

0:52:18 > 0:52:19What have we got here?

0:52:23 > 0:52:25Perfect!

0:53:04 > 0:53:06The wind won't blow that away.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10And it would have made her smile.

0:53:10 > 0:53:11She'll be all right now.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27REPORTER: A typical mass was celebrated

0:53:27 > 0:53:29at St Matthew's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

0:53:29 > 0:53:33And then the coffin, draped with the United States flag,

0:53:33 > 0:53:35- was placed... - Abbey Crunch with a saucer.

0:53:35 > 0:53:39These images would look far superior on a larger screen.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43You like the cinema, don't you, Sister Monica Joan?

0:53:43 > 0:53:48It is an art form, suited to the documentation of great lives.

0:53:49 > 0:53:54Well, after the President's cortege has gone by, go upstairs

0:53:54 > 0:53:55and put your best wimple on.

0:53:57 > 0:53:58We're going somewhere nice.

0:54:03 > 0:54:06APPLAUSE

0:54:06 > 0:54:09ALL: # Happy birthday to you

0:54:09 > 0:54:13# Happy birthday to you

0:56:35 > 0:56:37She looks so well!

0:56:38 > 0:56:41LAUGHTER

0:56:45 > 0:56:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:57:34 > 0:57:36We flicker on a screen.

0:57:36 > 0:57:39We fold and unfold upon the mind's eye.

0:57:41 > 0:57:45Brittle as wings, eternal as a heartbeat.

0:57:46 > 0:57:50And even when the heart falls silent, we do not

0:57:50 > 0:57:52cease to be.

0:57:53 > 0:57:57Because, in the end, we all become memories.
