0:00:32 > 0:00:35# I'm not much to look at
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Nothing to see
0:00:40 > 0:00:42< Sid?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45# Just glad I'm living
0:00:45 > 0:00:48# Happy to be
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# I got a woman... #
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- Morning.- Mmm.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Ready to face the day?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Really slept last night. Must have needed it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- What? - I checked the calendar.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- In the kitchen.- Mmm?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Nearly spring, soon be lighter mornings.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Oh! I didn't want to say anything before, but...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Second month in a row. - Really?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I think what with Christmas and everything, I didn't notice.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- But I think this might be it. - Are you sure?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Well, how can you be certain?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41I can't. Thought I'd go to the surgery, see what they think.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43But I feel fine.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Serious! Violently happy.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51In fact...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Are you going to work, or...?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03What? Now?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07No need to look so shocked! We ARE married!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- On a weekday morning? - SHE GIGGLES
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Well, if this is the shape of things to...
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Mmmm.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Here you go.- Thank you.
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- That looks nice.- Right, I'm off. I'll see you tonight.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Have a good day.- Bye, Chris.- Yeah.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38That wasn't very nice.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Did you sleep all right last night? - Better than the night before.- Good.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45That means the antibiotics are working.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Right - get that down you, then I'll come back and give you a shave.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54HE SIGHS
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Aren't you moving back to civilisation tonight?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Yep. I can't believe it's my last afternoon there.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I've grown really fond of them all. Even the pigs.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06You'll never be able to look a bacon sandwich in the eye again.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- Oi, vegetarian here!- All greasy and smothered in brown sauce
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- after a night on the lash. - Get out, evil temptress!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Did someone say bacon sandwiches? - Couldn't you just...?!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- What's the occasion?- It's Mandy's last day in the country.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22She's got to say goodbye to her surrogate family.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- By working out how she could eat them? - THEY LAUGH
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Doesn't feel like you've been there five minutes!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Has country life suited you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Mostly, yeah.- I used to love the country when I was a kid.- Really?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Mmm. Believe it or not, I watch Countryfile.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Even if it just is for that little Matt Baker.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Couldn't you just pinch those cheeks?! - THEY LAUGH
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I'm going up there lunchtime. If you want me to give you the guided tour,
0:03:49 > 0:03:50you could tag along?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- I can't promise any lusty farmhands, mind.- Well, it's sweet of you,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- but...- Sorry - you're probably busy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02You know what, I will, thanks.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I was hoping to see a woman GP. - Female stuff, is it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I'll get the nurse to chaperone.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- I don't need an examination. I don't think so, anyway.- Right?
0:04:16 > 0:04:21If you can self-diagnose as well, I'll go and get myself a cup of tea.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I want to know if there's any conclusive test you can do
0:04:25 > 0:04:29to tell if I've started the menopause or not.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- No.- Nothing at all?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Have you noticed any difference in your periods?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Are they lighter, heavier? Is the timing off?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- I've not had one at all the last couple of months.- OK.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Observation over the next 12 months is par for the course.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Or I could send you to see the wise woman in the woods?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I thought I read there's a blood test you can do...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Yeah. It measures the level of follicle stimulating hormone.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55That's part of the observations but it's not conclusive.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- Oh.- And before you ask, we do not hand out HRT patches willy-nilly.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Good, because I don't want them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- I'm happy to arrive at this point in my life.- Good for you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Yes, it is! Definitely not something I want to resist,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- or ward off with patches and pills. - Not even the soya and linseed bread?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Most women want that available on prescription.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You can shove it in your toaster as far as I'm concerned.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23For the last thirty-odd years I've been a slave to the worst PMT.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27That is a long...period. No offence.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And none taken - although the old me
0:05:29 > 0:05:32would have ripped your head off for saying that.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34The menopause is a blissful release
0:05:34 > 0:05:36from turning into a raging monster every 28 days.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Really? That bad? - Like you wouldn't believe.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44You should've seen the change in my husband when I told him, well,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46about MY change.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Excuse me?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I was wondering, do you offer bulk discount?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And can you deliver?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Is it true the menopause can last
0:05:57 > 0:05:59between seven to ten years on average?
0:05:59 > 0:06:00I'd dispute the word average.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And all the other stuff I've been warned about?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Should I expect all that?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Hair thinning, possible heart palpitations, osteoporosis,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10irritability and mood swings.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12So you are not out of the woods on that front.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Is that really your experience of it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Hardly something I'm going to experience.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- You'd be really unlucky to get all those things.- What about back pain?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Tiredness? Peeing more than usual? Weight gain?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- You experiencing all of those? - Mmm.- You should have said.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- We'd better check for one or two other things.- Like?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Diabetes, for a start.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36We'll take blood and urine samples while you're here.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What about...increased libido?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'd have thought it would have DECREASED if anything,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- but not necessarily. - Really?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49That's why women want HRT - to put the snap back in their celery.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53It does mean that you'll want to introduce hanging for random
0:06:53 > 0:06:57parking offences every four weeks, but that's the trade-off!
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- Blood pressure's pretty high. - I wonder why.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Let's get you through to the nurse.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10OK. Six down, the cylinder's jammed, five and four.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14- I haven't got a clue about machines.- It's cryptic.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19- You're good at those. Get thinking. - Let's come back to it later.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- Are you all right? You're running a temperature.- I'm fine.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29The antibiotics should be clearing this by now.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Chris, I've been taking them for less than a day.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35You've been asleep most of the time. Are you sure you're feeling better?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- I just said.- Dad, your symptoms are regressing.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- This really isn't normal. - Really, Chris?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Well, tell me what is normal about my life these days?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Maybe if you just stopped being my wet nurse for five minutes,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50give me a chance to get some rest and let the things work.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- But...- Your mum says I'm fine! All right?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You'd think a doctor would be a bit more sensitive.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00My reasons for bothering him
0:08:00 > 0:08:05weren't challenging enough - it was only "women's downstairs problems".
0:08:05 > 0:08:07The old me might have walloped him one
0:08:07 > 0:08:09if he'd caught me at the right moment.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12You really think things are changing?
0:08:12 > 0:08:17I feel different - not just mentally. It's hard to explain.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- No more monthly horror films. - That's funny.- Hardly!
0:08:22 > 0:08:27No, it's...and I'm really sorry about this, Mum,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- but when I was a teenager and you got...- Pre-menstrual?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- It's OK, you can say it. - Well, when you really lost it,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I used to call you the were-witch to my friends.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- You know, like the horror film. - I think that's quite inventive.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I'm really sorry. You didn't deserve it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Sounds like an accurate description to me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50You completely traumatised Carly.
0:08:50 > 0:08:57Carly! Yes. You were inseparable at one point - sleepovers,
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Girl Guides. What happened to her? - She met the were-witch.- Oh.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04You thought Dad hadn't tidied the garden quick enough,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- so you got a spade...- And dug up all the plants and dropped them
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- on him while he was watching the football.- Yep.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16That's why her mum started blanking me at the bus stop! Oh, love,
0:09:16 > 0:09:17I'm sorry.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20All I can say is imagine what it was like BEING the were-witch,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- knowing it was going to happen. - Walk a mile in your slingbacks?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You'd have to find them. I think the last pair I owned,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I launched at your dad. - It's all over now, Mum.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37# Heaven, I'm in heaven
0:09:38 > 0:09:43# And the cares that hung around me through the week
0:09:43 > 0:09:48# Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
0:09:49 > 0:09:53# When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek. #
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- I wish I could have been more help. - What with? The were-witch?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00I could have been more sympathetic,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- instead of moving out, first chance I got.- Anyway, getting out
0:10:04 > 0:10:07when you did meant you getting an early start on your independence.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10That lovely flat in the centre of town.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Actually, I'm not there any more.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- What? Since when?- The weekend. They upped the rent.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- And my hours got cut back at work as well, so...- Where are you?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Linda's letting me crash on her sofa for now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Why didn't you say anything? You know you're always welcome at home!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Your room's almost as you left it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- You're not disappointed in me, are you?- Don't be silly - anyway,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- there's nothing stopping you coming home now, is there?- Oh, Mum!
0:10:40 > 0:10:41It's all come out right, see?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Ooh, I need the ladies' again.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Actually, do you mind if we call it a day?- Are you all right?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I feel a bit dizzy.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57One of the symptoms Dr Do-Bog-All mentioned.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Come on - let's get you home.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03FRONT DOOR CLOSES
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Oh, my...!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Oh, arrrgh! Urgh!
0:11:13 > 0:11:15THEY LAUGH, HE GROANS
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Put it away, Dad! You sure you want me to move back?
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- I mean, if this is what you get up to!- Bren!- Oh, come out of there,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26you daft...go fetch him his dressing gown or something!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- I can't move!- What are you like?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Come out from there - Fran's not here.- It's my back.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I can't feel my leg! Ooh!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Ah! That'll be the smallholding, then.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- You said you wanted rural. - It's strange, we haven't been
0:11:44 > 0:11:48driving that long and yet it feels like we're somewhere really remote.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51That's one of the things I like the most about this place.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56It's so peaceful. Mind you, remote really does mean cut off.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Check your phone.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Ah.- You can sometimes get a couple of bars, if you're lucky.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Probably depends on where you're standing.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- Actually, it depends more on where the chickens are standing. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Goodbye.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Dr Haskey.- Whatever it is, I'm at lunch.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- One of our patients has had a fall. - Call an ambulance.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21That was my recommendation to his wife.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26She said it is not serious, but he is incapacitated.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31She described him as "a daft great lump, but not a hypochondriac".
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Sid Govey?- Yes, you saw Mrs Govey this morning.- No, absolutely not.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I've seen her once today and that's more than enough.- Why?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41She seemed very nice.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44She's nice enough, but she won't be when she gets her test results back.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- Do you have them?- Yeah.- There you go. You can kill two birds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I'm not the one who'll be doing the killing.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Send Jimmi! No-one would shout at Jimmi!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57It'd be like making Bambi cry.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Why would she shout?- It's not the result she's hoping for.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04That's hardly your fault. And Dr Clay is not available.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Then send one of the womenfolk - I think she'd prefer that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12If you take the results to her, you can walk away.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But if she has to come here for them, you are trapped.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Mmmm.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Or if she does come back here and then she sees someone else,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- I don't have to deal with her at all!- Very well.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31I will telephone Mr Bellamy at the Mill and ask him who is free,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36because you have decided you are far too busy to make house calls.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47How are you getting on with that crossword?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Dad? Dad?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- I'd only just dropped off, mate. - How are you feeling?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03(WEAKLY) Do you have to keep asking that every five minutes?
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Mum, call me soon as you get this. - Don't bother your mum at work.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Ambulance, please.- No.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Dad, these antibiotics are not working. You're going to hospital.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33I just need some sleep.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Ooh!- There? - HE WINCES
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Right, there's some bruising and you've slipped a disc,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40which is pressing on your sciatic nerve.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- Has someone died?- Not yet. Give me five minutes.- Is it serious?- Yes!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48More of an inconvenience. Take some painkillers
0:14:48 > 0:14:50and a couple of days' rest, and it will right itself.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53That'll teach you to play silly beggars in the nude.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Too much information. Can you give me a hand getting him upstairs?
0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Come on, Dad.- It's OK, we can manage.- Why can't I help?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07What is it? You've had my test results, haven't you?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- What do they say? - One patient at a time.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15I knew something didn't feel right. It's serious, isn't it? Tell me!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Well, confidentiality... - Oh, blow that! Just tell me!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24You're pregnant.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29SHE SCREAMS
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Karen, it's Chris. I'm trying to get through to Mum
0:15:31 > 0:15:33but she's not answering her mobile.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35She's still at lunch - are you OK? You sound a bit stressed.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39I'm at St Phil's. I've had to get Dad here quick, he's in a bad way.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Oh, I'm so sorry. Look - leave it with me.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You go with your dad and I'll try and track her down.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Thank you, Karen. Cheers. - Is there anything else I can do?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yeah, will you just tell her to get here as quick as she can, please.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Jas, have you seen Emma?
0:15:56 > 0:16:00She's having lunch with Mandy, she wanted to see the house.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Oh, right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Thank you, that was lovely. - Glad you enjoyed it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- So, are you all packed?- Almost. Back to the real world.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I can't help thinking that going back to Freya's
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- is going to be a permanent option? - I'm not sure it ever was.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Why don't you find somewhere more rural? Make it your own,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28if you've enjoyed being here so much.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33It has been nice, but I'm not sure that's a long-term deal either.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I can see the attraction.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41- Change the pace of life. Sam and I thought about it.- Yeah?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Mmm. I keep thinking we should have just done it when Chris was little.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48No over-thinking the pros and cons, just done it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Do you think Chris would have been OK with that?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52No, schools were always the fly in the ointment.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55We could have sent him away, but Sam didn't like the idea.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Mmm. You've not got that problem now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:05- No...- Oh! Sorry! You've got a whole new set of problems
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- to consider now. - No, it's fine. Really.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10MOBILE RINGS
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Oh! You got a signal! The chickens must be restless.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14THEY LAUGH
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Hi, Karen!
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23OK, I'm on my way.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I can't believe it! There's no doubt?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You can pee on a stick if you won't take my word for it,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34but you'll get the same answer.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- But a baby! At my age! - That's the way it goes sometimes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42It's your body having one more shout before last orders are called.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- Last orders? It was meant to be a new beginning!- That'll still come.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Only not yet.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- A baby could be good news, though. Couldn't it?- Good news?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- Mum...- If I'm still fertile, it means I'm still hormonal.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I woke up this morning and though I'd left all that behind.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- You do have options.- Options?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07The only choice I want right now is five minutes with Mother Nature,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11so I can wring her scrawny neck for what she's done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14This cruel joke I've had to put up with.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Brenda!- We were supposed to be planning round-the-world cruises
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and downsizing - freeing up our lives,
0:18:21 > 0:18:26but, oh, no! Calm down! That's what you were going to say, wasn't it?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- Calm down? Don't lie, because I can tell.- Don't shoot the messenger.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Bren!- You have no idea, STUPID MAN,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38what it's like to feel you're not in control of your own body,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40how you're a slave to mood swings,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44and cramps and all the other wonderful feelings.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- Tell him what you called me.- I was a kid!- Tell him!- The were-witch.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- As in the film.- "The Were-witch Project"! That's pretty funny.
0:18:54 > 0:19:00- I'd go if I were you. - Brenda? Can you hear me?- I'M COMING!
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Don't you go anywhere! I'm not done with you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14What? Are you still in pain? Need your pillow plumping up,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16your nose blown? Your bottom wiped?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- No.- I suppose you think it'll be good practice for
0:19:19 > 0:19:22when I push this one out, having to wait on you hand and foot?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- I only wanted...- WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Whatever it is, the answer's no.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I wanted to say this baby doesn't have to mean
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- the end of the world for us. Don't hit me.- Hit you?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I don't want to be anywhere near you!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Look what happened the last time you got too close.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43What do you know, lying there, useless.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44Urgh!
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Do you remember what you were like carrying Fran?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Think about it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I was as big as a house. Fat ankles.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Your mother grinning like the cat that got the cream, telling me,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02"It'll be worse before it gets better, Brenda!"
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Spiteful old...she never liked me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10I've never seen you happier. You ate ice cream all the time. Remember?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I saw how happy you were this morning.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19When I told you what I thought was going on. No more PMT.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I was happy for you. I know how miserable it makes you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27There have been times when... All the years you've put up with this.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Have you never thought about leaving?- No.- Why not?
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- Why do you think?- Well, maybe I should! Spare us all the grief!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Bren! Don't do this! - You've always been the best mum
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- in spite of...- What? Being a cow?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Scaring off your friends? - In spite of everything!
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- Is this really such a bad thing? - It's what it implies.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55My body, doing whatever it wants again! Look at me!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- I'll see myself out! - I told you to wait!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01SHE SIGHS
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Why should you have to put up with any of this?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You'll both leave me anyway, so maybe it's easier if I go.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16You must have felt really sick.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18It wasn't registering.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22What's that supposed to mean?
0:21:26 > 0:21:31- Hey. "Swiss roll".- What?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34The crossword.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Six down, five and four, "the cylinder is jammed".
0:21:41 > 0:21:45The answer is Swiss roll. It's cryptic. I told you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- Why were you hiding your symptoms? - No more questions, Chris. I'm tired.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56You could have died. Or did that not register either?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I'll have to go through tests, won't I? Being a decrepit mum.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16There's a support system in place for mothers over 40.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Support system?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21What does that involve? A man on standby with a tranquiliser gun,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24in case I go rogue at the antenatal clinic?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27We can train your husband to do that once he's back on his feet.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Oh, ha, ha!- Not that he'd ever pull the trigger, though, -
0:22:30 > 0:22:31he clearly loves you.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33What would you know?
0:22:33 > 0:22:38He must do! Look at what he has to put up with! I can tell you,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40if I was married to you...
0:22:40 > 0:22:43phew, I'd have been out the door, first opportunity I got.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- And I'd hold it open for you. - I'm serious. But Sid?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50He needs a medal, or his head examining,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53which incidentally, I can arrange.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I think you should go. - You're a lucky woman.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You're not going to do better than him.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02When you've decided what to do, make an appointment at the practice
0:23:02 > 0:23:04and we'll set things in motion.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It won't be with you. - Too right, it won't.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I'm going to refer you to Dr Jimmi Clay!
0:23:10 > 0:23:13He's excellent at maternity cases.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Bye, ladies, it's been fun.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Mind how you go.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Look out for foxes!
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Especially you, Marjorie.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I know how you like to go in there like Rambo,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42but that old fox'll make a feather boa out of you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And now I'm talking to the chickens like they're actually listening!
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Time to go.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01MUSIC: "You Make Me Feel So Young" by Frank Sinatra
0:24:01 > 0:24:03This wasn't how today was meant to be!
0:24:09 > 0:24:13That's life, isn't it? That thing that happens to us
0:24:13 > 0:24:15while we're busy making plans.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And...you're going to stay?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23So... We're going to be parents again?
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Why not? You did a great job with me.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30And I'm moving in, so...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33No, love, it's all changed now.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39- Think of yourself - I'll lend you some money.- I want to stay.- Why?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- I'm going to be a big sister. - Know what?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44If it's a boy, let's call him Frank.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Well, for keeping us feeling so young.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48And if it's a girl?
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Joy.- You big, soft... - No - don't make the bed shake.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You're right - that's what started all this!
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Too much information, Mum! - But you are happy, aren't you?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I think what I am...
0:25:04 > 0:25:06is lucky.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23What did he say?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26They'll continue with the fluids and antibiotics,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and run regular blood and urine tests throughout the night.
0:25:31 > 0:25:38- That's it?- No, there is a chance he could deteriorate quite fast.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- I think we should stay here tonight. - Worst case?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I'm going to go home and get some things, do you want anything?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- What's the worst case? - We shouldn't be thinking like that.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53It's how I've been thinking for days.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Mum, what's the worst thing that could happen?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01If the antibiotics don't work,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04his organs will start shutting down.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Right.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11And you wouldn't believe me.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13This isn't the time to start pointing the finger.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15We need to be there for him.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I've been there the whole time.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Where were you?
0:26:22 > 0:26:28Oh, that's right - not paying attention to what I was saying.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I made a judgement call based on the facts that I had to go on,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33like I would with anyone else!
0:26:35 > 0:26:39He must have felt really sick, why didn't he say anything?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41He's been playing down his symptoms.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Then how could we have known? - I did know. And you didn't listen.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I wanted him here yesterday, Mum, but no,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54you're the big shot doctor,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58so you know what, if he dies, it's your fault.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- You revolting little man!- I'm so sorry!- Help!
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- What would you know? - About caring for others?
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Is that what you really want?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- To be banged up with a bunch of perverts?- No!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Then you'd better start talking!
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Just leave it!
0:27:21 > 0:27:22MONITOR EMITS STEADY BEEP
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- I'll get someone!- Sam?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Darling, I'm here. I'm here, Sam, hang on!
