0:00:33 > 0:00:36'It came down from the High Peak hollering and clamouring
0:00:36 > 0:00:39'and we lost our heads and our hearts
0:00:39 > 0:00:42'to the most exciting idea humankind has ever had -
0:00:42 > 0:00:45'better than God or farming or electricity...'
0:00:48 > 0:00:49'..which is love.'

0:01:42 > 0:01:45I shall be returning forthwith to my duties
0:01:45 > 0:01:47as a wife who stands behind the shop counter.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50You will go forthwith to ascertain
0:01:50 > 0:01:53that your feckless son hasn't turned a profitable boot factory into...
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Norma Rose Hankin...
0:01:56 > 0:01:59..will you come to the grand opening dance with me?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Have you lost all sense of decorum?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Aye, aye, I have!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And I'm going to replace it with jazz.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I don't understand. What's happening?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You a dancer, John?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30No?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I could deliver t'milk straight to your shop every day, fresh.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Ah, but it wouldn't be bottled.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39No, but it'd be... it'd be fresh.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43But you can't guarantee the number of pints each day?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45No.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50I'm spending my life out in t'field, milking t'cows, every day.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I'm sorry for you, John.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54There's no room for pity in business.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04'I would have followed Martha Ellingham

0:03:12 > 0:03:14'Only...she wasn't.'
0:03:17 > 0:03:22'There was someone else. I just didn't know it yet.'
0:03:30 > 0:03:33'Dear Bert, this is a difficult letter to write...'
0:03:33 > 0:03:37'I've not told you how I feel,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39'but if I don't soon, I think I might explode.'
0:03:42 > 0:03:45'I'll be outside the bathhouse at 11 o'clock on Sunday
0:03:45 > 0:03:47'if you'd like to meet me.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54'It wasn't signed and it wasn't dated.'
0:03:55 > 0:03:58'Who'd have thought it would cause such a rumpus.'

0:04:44 > 0:04:45We'll sell t'calf.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51But t'calf's young, John.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's a calf. We're farmers.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You'll take t'calf to market and you'll get a good price for her.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59You promised.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Listen to me.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07The £5 Bert won goes towards wages for t'farm labourer.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09We need money.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10You promised.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Tell her, Bert.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20If we sell t'calf now, then what?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21A cow next week?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Then what happens?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26We've less milk to sell.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- How does that work, John? - It has to.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, it's too small.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36What?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Something bigger needs to change.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31So what is it?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Fear? Guilt?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Sex.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41"Married love."
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Spread the word.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43and guess that you're all over 30.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- I've stopped counting. - Which is good news.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Oh, I love a politician. Growing old is a good thing?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It is when it means women can vote.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Women? Are we not ladies?!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57You're voters. You're not second class any more.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Socialists in shorts.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03And they're a cycling club?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I don't care if it's the Coconut Club.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'm not voting for anyone that wants to show me his knees.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27You won't remember me.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Yes. Yes, I do.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16Can intimate relations end a pregnancy?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17No.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21No, love, it's perfectly all right
0:09:21 > 0:09:24to continue for as long as you want to.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It won't damage baby.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30You should tell your husband not to worry.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34He may get uncomfortable as you... as you get a lot bigger,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36so you should give consideration
0:09:36 > 0:09:41to the realm of sexual activity beyond intercourse.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Oh, don't worry. You might like it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Ladies do!- It's not my husband!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54CHATTER

0:10:11 > 0:10:13You're selling a calf?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Is that your calf over there? - I'll be right back.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28The thing is, I'm... I'm looking for a young calf.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'll give you a good price.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35We keep a pig...
0:10:35 > 0:10:37kept a pig.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38We killed it, two week ago.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It was nice to see you, Bert.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52FOOTSTEPS
0:10:57 > 0:10:58It's one thing writing it,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01it's quite another actually posting it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04I've asked a lot of you, haven't I?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06No. No.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09No, you've been a mother to the boys all this time.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Well, make sure you have some time
0:11:11 > 0:11:13before you start being a mother again.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Is that what Mummy would have said?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22She wrote me a letter before she died.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24"To be opened when I'm gone away."
0:11:24 > 0:11:25What did it say?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27She said, "Women love a widower,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30"so here's a list of ladies in the village you're not to let near you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33"If you do, I'll be back to haunt you."
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- THEY GIGGLE - And the second thing?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39"Remember how much we loved each other."
0:11:40 > 0:11:43"And don't let Phoebe settle for anything less."
0:11:47 > 0:11:49It's market day.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27I was alone
0:14:27 > 0:14:32and she reminded me what human warmth could be.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34That's a very moving story.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Was she a prostitute?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Yes.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Bert?

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Are you taking precautions?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Well, every married couple needs to plan,
0:21:19 > 0:21:20so they can relax.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Enjoy ourselves?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Never, that's why I'm here.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44The man climbs on board, a huff and a puff and it's over.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48You're not alone, I can help.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Oh?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12How long have you been married?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Years and years.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Without ever...
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Nothing.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24whilst not putting any pressure on him.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27When he's doing something that makes him happy

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Look at me.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Don't think, you mustn't think.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Trust me.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17GIGGLING: Oh, I don't like this!
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- I'm scared.- Head up.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Look forward.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- I'm looking. I am...ah!- Go!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29SHE SHRIEKS AND GIGGLES
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Yeah!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Can I speak with you?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Yeah...just come over here.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Power, like a desolating pestilence,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12pollutes what'er it touches.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Your man Percy.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Can you make it up there?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Race you!
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I work for me family and me farm
0:25:31 > 0:25:33cos I'm proud of them.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36What are you asking me?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Is pride a sin?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Am I to be punished for sinning?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44No!
0:25:44 > 0:25:46No.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49When I'm outside and working with me hands,
0:25:49 > 0:25:54I clasp them together like this, when it's cold, for warmth.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56In prayer.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Is he listening?
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Does he hear me?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Absolutely, yes.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Get down the mine and stay there
0:26:38 > 0:26:41until your lungs hack up globs of black blood.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44And when I've taken your breath away and you're on your deathbed,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47then I'll let you stop making me money. But don't worry,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'm not going away,
0:26:49 > 0:26:50I'll be putting your sons
0:26:50 > 0:26:52down the same dark hole in the ground as killed you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03They're for that, I'm against it. Can I have your vote, please?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Sorry.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10No...
0:27:12 > 0:27:13..you're angry.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19There's an idea in England that anger and seriousness
0:27:19 > 0:27:21are somehow bad manners.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Affability, easy charm, wit - all very English,
0:27:25 > 0:27:29all bedfellows of conservatism and the right way to be.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33We mustn't be seen to actually mean what we say.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You first or me?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- SHE LAUGHS - Together.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Woo-hoo, I like this!
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- Hello.- Oh, hello.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39You're not at the bathhouse.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Um...no!
0:28:42 > 0:28:43You're here.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Yes.- And I'm here, too.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49Shall we walk?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57Remember Mr Ingham at school?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59When he was hitting you,
0:28:59 > 0:29:00I felt it.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04I mean, I REALLY felt it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Do you want to know a secret?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I'm left-handed too, Bert.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28Even if I wanted to take pictures. Of what? For who?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's a village, Phoebe.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It's just a village.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Before she died,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42my mother taught me the name of every wild flower she knew.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I've looked for them all
0:29:47 > 0:29:50and I've found them all.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Every one within a mile of here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57It's not just a village.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02I'll walk you home if you like.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- YOU'LL walk ME home? - If you like.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It's supposed to be the other way round, Phoebe.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Then I'll let you pick me up on Friday.- Hmm?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15The dance. I'll be ready at six.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33There's a meeting at The Institute, Friday night.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34You could come.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Wait.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Don't be frightened, you mustn't be frightened.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06She's left-handed.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Well, that's good.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Who is?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Phoebe...from the station.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24One of your cows is up in t'field - distressed.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27She hasn't been milked.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Cruel, I'd say...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33and your responsibility.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Flowers?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- Did you get t'milking done? - No. I was...
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Reading?
0:32:18 > 0:32:19And you?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Let me ask you something.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Does poetry run a farm?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28He's more than just a poet - Shelley.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Where are you getting this from, eh?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- What's happening?- John...
0:32:37 > 0:32:38You're my family!
0:32:42 > 0:32:43Where are you?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01The two most eligible bachelors in London
0:33:01 > 0:33:03here at my humble country home.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Have you been reading Jane Austen, Mother?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Every day.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Robert.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Whenever I read Jane Austen I want to dig her up
0:33:13 > 0:33:17and beat her over the skull with her own shin bone.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Oh? Is that you, Edmund, or someone else?
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- Mark Twain, Mother.- Ah, yes. Huck and Tom and boats and whatnot.
0:33:26 > 0:33:31There are books for boys and books for grown-up people.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Nothing happens, nobody says anything.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35What pride, huh?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- What prejudice?- Oh!
0:33:37 > 0:33:39It's not on the surface. It's underneath.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Would you be interested in marrying my daughter, Robert?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28PANTING
0:34:30 > 0:34:33HEAVY BREATHING
0:34:46 > 0:34:48'I should never have married George Allingham.'
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You were helping him.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53He needed you, it was a sacrifice you made.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You don't condemn me?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59There's enough pain and guilt in the world.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05What kind of a minister are you?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I'm your father,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09first and last.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12What should I do?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17There's a vacancy at the school. Mr Ingham is leaving.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20He's opening a barber shop in Chesterfield.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30I'm married, I can't teach.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm the committee! Yes, you can.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36You'd be teaching alongside Mr Eyre of course, so...
0:35:36 > 0:35:39But I'm sure he'll be delighted to have you.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42MACHINES WHIR
0:35:55 > 0:35:57WOMAN SCREAMS
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Somebody help!
0:36:05 > 0:36:07HE WHISPERS
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Bairstow!
0:36:17 > 0:36:18A worker moved.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22The worker who took her place didn't know what she was doing and she...
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Chopped her finger off.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Why did the first worker move?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- She was complaining.- About?
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Conditions.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31What, an agitator?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I suppose.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36No, no.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Sack her.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43I was in charge. I shouldn't have allowed the problem to arise.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45Which is why it'll be your job.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- My job?- To tell her.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Just do it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Have I lost my job?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04I never should have listened to you, I shouldn't have moved.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I'm going to Allingham. This is not right.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09It wasn't him?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10No.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Well, who was it?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Your father?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Bairstow.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I promise, I'm going to make your life better.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28(You can't. Nobody can.)
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I swear to you that I will.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You're from Yorkshire, aren't you?
0:38:12 > 0:38:16- Why?- You walk into rooms and sit down in them.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20And then I speak me mind.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22At least that's how the cliche goes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25What do you want?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Harriet Kilmartin.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Lord Kilmartin's youngest.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Sorry, what?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Your son has everything going for him
0:38:41 > 0:38:42and one problem.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Which is?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Some of the wrong company.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Who?
0:38:54 > 0:38:55It doesn't matter.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Late 30s and still a bachelor,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02it's not right.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Harry...Harriet isn't married, either.
0:39:07 > 0:39:08She's just the girl
0:39:08 > 0:39:11for the next Home Secretary to spend his life with.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27It needs sorting.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36ENGINE GRUMBLES
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Hey! What're you doing?
0:39:48 > 0:39:49It's yours, isn't it?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I don't want your old milking machine.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54I'll have your cows, though.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- What?- £3 a head.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00You've got to be joking.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Don't be a fool, Middleton. I'm giving you a chance here.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Take it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- I'm twice your age. - What's that got to do wi' it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09You can't talk to me like that.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Is that all you've got? "You can't talk to me like that."
0:40:13 > 0:40:16If you were a real man, you'd let the truth in.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19You can't keep cows without a barn.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21You'll never be a dairy farmer.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Get off of my land.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Ask your wife, she knows.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Lesbians or motorists?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I'm sorry?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Lord Kilmartin wants an issue.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Something from you he can put in his newspapers
0:40:41 > 0:40:44so that your name's in the public consciousness. So...
0:40:44 > 0:40:46a steadfast stand against lesbianism
0:40:46 > 0:40:50or should we be furious at plans for a speed limit on our roads?
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Is either quite serious enough?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Sex and the motor car?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Kilmartin's readership think of nothing else!
0:40:59 > 0:41:02No, they want to be clear in their minds.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03Women do not love each other
0:41:03 > 0:41:05and motoring is a dangerous sport
0:41:05 > 0:41:07certain to be spoilt if rules are attached to it.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15This'll work.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Bring cows to t'milking machine.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24This is our cow shed, Bert.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27But it's a bog, look.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29The cows won't let down their milk here.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31They just won't.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Robert?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I have to know that what you do and what you say are both true.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55It's not easy.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56I love you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Robert...- Would you ban women from loving other women?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Given who we are, Edmund? What's it to be?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Me and your conscience, or politics and power?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Are we filthy queers or men in love?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Whoa, walk on, walk on. Whoa, whoa.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34That's it...
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Is that farming?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39You stay away from my wife.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40You're mad.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41Stay away from her.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46You're too proud, John, you'll lose everything.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51SCHOOL BELL RINGS
0:42:55 > 0:42:56For Bert.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38I thought I'd better remind myself what it feels like.
0:43:40 > 0:43:41Your father came to see me.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44To ask if you're happy with my appointment?
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Yes.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47And are you?
0:43:51 > 0:43:53It's breaking the law.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57I see.
0:43:57 > 0:43:58I'm sorry.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- It was foolish of me to... - I've broken the law before.
0:44:04 > 0:44:08The law and what is right
0:44:08 > 0:44:10aren't always the same thing.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48So?
0:44:50 > 0:44:53I just, er, wanted to see how everything is.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Fine.
0:44:55 > 0:44:56Good.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00That's excellent.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10Are you sure there isn't something you wanted to ask?
0:45:10 > 0:45:13No, no, no.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18I'm really, er...making sure you're all right out here,
0:45:18 > 0:45:19on your own.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22So this is a visit in your professional capacity?
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Sorry?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28As God's representative in the village.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34I'm lonely.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55BAND WARMS UP
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Oh, damn!

0:46:30 > 0:46:31Agnes?
0:46:35 > 0:46:36What is it?
0:46:37 > 0:46:39I've lost my job.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Oh, no, Agnes. They've sacked you?
0:46:45 > 0:46:46Yeah.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49What for?
0:46:49 > 0:46:54I was feeling sick from the glue, so I moved.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55I won't have this.
0:46:55 > 0:46:57We won't have this.
0:46:57 > 0:47:00- Grace, you don't... - Don't be frightened.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02You mustn't be frightened.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06Thank you.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Who's it from?- Mrs Allingham.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22Martha?
0:47:40 > 0:47:42It looks wonderful!
0:47:44 > 0:47:45Will it work?
0:47:46 > 0:47:48Will people come?
0:47:54 > 0:47:56INDISTINCT CHATTER
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Nobody came?
0:48:03 > 0:48:04There's a dance on.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12What would you have said?
0:48:12 > 0:48:14I wasn't going to speak.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17I was going to listen. To the village.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21What would you have said?
0:48:22 > 0:48:25SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Agnes Scrivener lost her job at the boot factory
0:48:30 > 0:48:33because she wanted to get away from what's choking her lungs.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Now, the man who owns the boot factory...
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Is Edmund Allingham.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40I would have asked...
0:48:40 > 0:48:42Who's going to help her?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Who's going to fight
0:48:44 > 0:48:47for what she's too frightened to fight for on her own?
0:48:48 > 0:48:52How does a woman stand up and find her voice?
0:48:59 > 0:49:03Would you consider accompanioning...
0:49:03 > 0:49:05accompany...
0:49:05 > 0:49:06the dance?
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Do you want to come?

0:49:18 > 0:49:19You go. I'm fine.
0:49:19 > 0:49:23- I'm teaching again. - Martha, I absolutely insist.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Come on, we'll terrify the locals.
