0:04:09 > 0:04:11If any blood vessels cross the stigma,

0:04:11 > 0:04:13a small drop of blood may get on the yolk

0:04:13 > 0:04:15as it's released from the follicle.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18It's what causes most blood spots in eggs.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Egg first or chicken, Mr Hopkins?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24The egg's still a mystery to scientists.

0:59:44 > 0:59:46Good morning.

0:59:46 > 0:59:50I wonder how many girls are aware of the work of the Women's Circle.

0:59:53 > 0:59:54I see.

0:59:54 > 0:59:58Well, I have brought leaflets that can be given out afterwards.

0:59:58 > 1:00:00As Miss Alvaro has informed you,

1:00:00 > 1:00:05I'm here today to talk about accidents in the home.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09Unfortunately, your home is the place where...

1:05:55 > 1:05:58If it's how you feel, it's how you feel.

1:05:58 > 1:05:59All right?

1:05:59 > 1:06:03I don't know. It's like Ouspensky said...

1:06:18 > 1:06:22Sometimes I wonder who you see when you look at me.

1:06:23 > 1:06:26I see my friend, Lydia.

1:06:26 > 1:06:30And I see a powerful personality.

1:06:31 > 1:06:32Powerful.

1:06:57 > 1:06:59Just...

1:07:00 > 1:07:01All my tests were clear.

1:07:03 > 1:07:05- That's wonderful.- Hmm.

1:07:25 > 1:07:27- MISS MANTEL:- Poor Abigail Mortimer.

1:07:29 > 1:07:31She thought she knew it all.

1:07:32 > 1:07:33Naive little thing.

1:07:33 > 1:07:36Abbie and Lydia.

1:07:53 > 1:07:54The young always do.

1:08:00 > 1:08:03I'm sorry we have to let you go.

1:08:03 > 1:08:05It's OK. It's all right.

1:08:05 > 1:08:06I...

1:08:08 > 1:08:10I was getting a little...

1:08:11 > 1:08:14Anyway, I have my art.

1:08:18 > 1:08:20Are you going to have it?

1:08:23 > 1:08:25I didn't think you'd be so understanding, Miss Mantel.

1:08:27 > 1:08:28It's not as if I'm married.

1:08:28 > 1:08:31Neither was I.

1:08:31 > 1:08:32You mean...

1:08:32 > 1:08:36Contrary to popular belief,

1:08:36 > 1:08:38I was never a nun.

1:08:38 > 1:08:41No, I was going to say, you had a child?

1:09:06 > 1:09:08- MALE PSYCHIATRIST:- Let's see, Susan...- Susie.

1:09:10 > 1:09:15Is there any friend in particular you especially look up to, admire?

1:09:18 > 1:09:22So, who was the first person in your age group to show symptoms?

1:09:27 > 1:09:30If you don't want to talk about it, just say.

1:09:34 > 1:09:36Any history of illness in the family?

1:09:36 > 1:09:39My cousin, she has fits.

1:09:39 > 1:09:41Have you witnessed a seizure?

1:09:43 > 1:09:46When you first noticed your symptoms,

1:09:46 > 1:09:48had anything happened?

1:09:48 > 1:09:49Exams?

1:09:50 > 1:09:52An illness around you? A death?

1:09:54 > 1:09:58If I were a fly on the wall in your house,

1:09:58 > 1:10:00what would I see, Janet?

1:10:00 > 1:10:02Just... Like a normal family.

1:10:04 > 1:10:06Normal, like normal.

1:10:08 > 1:10:12- PSYCHIATRIST:- Your teachers, what are they like?

1:10:12 > 1:10:14Well...

1:10:14 > 1:10:18Miss Alvaro, she wouldn't care if we were all dead.

1:10:18 > 1:10:22And Miss Mantel,

1:10:22 > 1:10:24she's a malicious prude.

1:10:24 > 1:10:28I like...

1:10:28 > 1:10:29Miss Charron.

1:10:29 > 1:10:31LYDIA: She's been sick, too.

1:10:31 > 1:10:34PSYCHIATRIST: She's close in age to you?

1:10:34 > 1:10:35That's important, isn't it?

1:10:37 > 1:10:38I think so, too.

1:10:38 > 1:10:41- PSYCHIATRIST:- Have you had sexual intercourse?

1:10:41 > 1:10:42Yeah.

1:10:44 > 1:10:47No.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49I can't really remember.

1:10:49 > 1:10:51Your mother? Well, is she?

1:10:51 > 1:10:54I haven't caught anything off her, if that's what you mean.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Do you like the attention you get from your mother when you faint?

1:11:00 > 1:11:03I hate it if she gets concerned about me.

1:11:03 > 1:11:06Have you had your first sexual experience, Lydia?

1:11:06 > 1:11:09- I don't do things like that. - Could you expand?

1:11:11 > 1:11:14I don't put dates on things.

1:11:14 > 1:11:18You know, I read...

1:11:18 > 1:11:21that one person is really like three people.

1:11:21 > 1:11:24The person you think you are, the person other people see,

1:11:24 > 1:11:26and the person you really are.

1:11:26 > 1:11:29- You're a bright girl, aren't you? - Don't patronise me.

1:11:29 > 1:11:32- Is that what you think I'm doing? - I don't know what you're doing.

1:11:32 > 1:11:34If anything.

1:11:34 > 1:11:36I'm...

1:11:36 > 1:11:37I'm not...

1:11:43 > 1:11:45..mad. I'm not.

1:11:46 > 1:11:48Your father?

1:11:49 > 1:11:51I don't know him.

1:11:51 > 1:11:55She drove him away. She squeezes the life out of everybody.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59You've talked to your mother about him?

1:12:01 > 1:12:03What's a man that I've never known got to do with all this?

1:12:05 > 1:12:10Have you ever had irregular periods or excessive bleeding?

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Do you ask everyone that?

1:12:12 > 1:12:14Just the female patients, of course.

1:12:14 > 1:12:16It's important to have

1:12:16 > 1:12:19a record of all your physical symptoms.

1:12:20 > 1:12:25All I know is that...

1:12:25 > 1:12:27I'm... I'm feeling...

1:12:28 > 1:12:30..is that I'm feeling...

1:12:33 > 1:12:36I feel...

1:12:36 > 1:12:38It...

1:12:38 > 1:12:39I feel...

1:12:39 > 1:12:41It's... I...

1:12:41 > 1:12:42It's...

1:12:42 > 1:12:45I... I feel, er...

1:12:45 > 1:12:47What do you feel, Lydia?

1:12:47 > 1:12:48Ill.

1:12:48 > 1:12:51No-one wants the truth, do they?

1:12:51 > 1:12:54That does make me angry. Write that down.

1:12:54 > 1:12:57I think there's quite a lot going on under that anger.

1:12:59 > 1:13:00It's racing.

1:13:02 > 1:13:04It's like it's gonna jump out.

1:13:04 > 1:13:08I resent this idea that we're just emotional.

1:13:08 > 1:13:09This is real.

1:13:09 > 1:13:11It's real in its consequences, yes.

1:13:11 > 1:13:14What's important here is that it's real to you.

1:13:14 > 1:13:17Real to me? What does that mean?

1:13:17 > 1:13:19It's real to all of us.

1:13:19 > 1:13:21Something's seriously wrong.

1:13:21 > 1:13:22Why is everyone ignoring us?

1:13:33 > 1:13:34SHE SIGHS

1:13:36 > 1:13:39He's prescribed tranquilisers for all of us.

1:13:39 > 1:13:41They don't seem to want to believe we're ill.

1:13:41 > 1:13:42My advice?

1:13:44 > 1:13:46Don't take the pills.

1:13:46 > 1:13:48And try and hide your symptoms.

1:13:48 > 1:13:50I'm finding,

1:13:50 > 1:13:51being in the more advanced stages,

1:13:51 > 1:13:53that my symptoms don't show as much anyway.

1:13:53 > 1:13:56- The advanced stages? - Yeah, Connie.

1:13:57 > 1:14:00Being further along, I'm ahead.

1:14:00 > 1:14:03You just can't stand that we're all feeling ill, too.

1:14:03 > 1:14:05No! I'm glad you're ill.

1:14:05 > 1:14:07Well, no, not glad, but you know what I mean.

1:14:07 > 1:14:08I'm gonna get my parents

1:14:08 > 1:14:11to arrange for us to see a leading medical specialist.

1:14:12 > 1:14:13Come on!

1:14:43 > 1:14:46Hippocrates believed that the disordered womb led to hysteria.

1:14:54 > 1:14:59This is a school, it's not a mental institution.

1:15:06 > 1:15:09If they had any idea what it's like to be a middle-aged woman,

1:16:02 > 1:16:04You know, I'm supposed to go and see another psychiatrist.

1:16:04 > 1:16:06I don't think you'll have much choice but to come.

1:16:06 > 1:16:09They'll ask lots of probing questions about you, you know.

1:16:11 > 1:16:14They're very interested in exactly why I am like I am.

1:16:19 > 1:16:22Have you got any idea what it's like having you as a mother?

1:16:22 > 1:16:25It's so unfair! I never asked to be born to you!

1:18:34 > 1:18:36It is for the best, Lydia.

1:18:36 > 1:18:38It is with regret that I must inform you...

1:18:38 > 1:18:39You can't.
