FunTranscript
00:00Once upon a time, the season that is new today was old and closed and packed away.
00:30Advent had erupted into Christmas, darkness retreated in the face of light, and the wheel of the year kept turning.
00:41But once again we gather, as the sky grows cold, the leaves have tumbled, the fresh snow falls.
00:52Pages turn as new doors open, time and time and time again.
01:00Merry Christmas bread.
01:01Merry Christmas.
01:04Medical supplies packed and labelled and ready for hand delivery to the brunch house.
01:10A biscuit's clinic? You think you should write on it in Chinese?
01:14Hong Kong is a British colony. I'm quite sure everyone is competent in our mother tongue.
01:19I detect a want of enthusiasm in your visit. When adventure beckons, you should embrace the call.
01:29This trip is a wonderful opportunity for Violet to see her son. And the sisters at the clinic will be so grateful for these supplies.
01:37I'll just be glad of a chance to run an errand, if I'm honest with your sister Julian. There's talk of cocktail parties.
01:45Oh!
01:46You could not be so grateful for his friends.
01:52And if you ever saw it
01:56You will even say it blows
01:59All of the upper reindeers
02:03Used to lock and call him names
02:06Kevin, I've told you before
02:09Stay inside the lines
02:12The lines represent the edges of the lorry
02:17You too, Teddy
02:20We don't want you falling off the float and getting run over
02:23Do you think they're going to need bigger roles for their mouths, Mrs Turner?
02:28I'm worried that they're going to be deprived of oxygen
02:30Oh, please, please
02:33Don't anyone stop singing on my account
02:36Hello, Diane
02:38You'll go down in history
02:41Oh, now, pack
02:48What do we say when a very important lady
02:51Like Mrs Buckle, our mayor
02:53Is kind enough to come and visit us?
02:56Good evening, Mrs Buckle
02:59One piece of cord between two
03:08I've bought a dozen pairs of brown tights for the reindeer
03:13I managed to get them on a special order
03:16But you'll not get lads of this age to wear tights, Mrs Buckle
03:20Well, you'll have to tell them that it's in a good course
03:22I mean, the whole Christmas carnival is in a good course
03:26Um, elastic
03:28Black felt squares
03:31Um, sleigh bells
03:33And WD-40
03:36What's that for? To oil the sled runners?
03:39Fred needs to do the paper shop bell before we leave
03:42Mrs Buckle, go
03:44Go to Hong Kong
03:46And do not give the Christmas carnival a second thought
03:50Mrs Buckle
04:02I'm sorry
04:03I'm sorry, Mrs Turner
04:05I'm not quite sure which way is up this evening
04:08I wondered if you could take a tiny parcel to Hong Kong for me
04:12It's a letter and some...
04:16Of course, I'll take it
04:26It must all be, well, such a worry
04:28I used to fret about my Derek when he was in the Navy
04:32But now he's in the Hong Kong police
04:34They have to wear guns
04:37Mrs Turner
04:38It makes me nervous
04:40You'll be back by Christmas with wonderful memories
04:44And we've got Reggie coming home
04:46I'm already hoping that it will be snowing for him
04:50Whoever guesses the mystery ingredient in this year's chutney
04:56Gets to eat the first mince pie and make a wish
04:58I'm getting definite top notes
05:01Of tamarind
05:02Have you been on another cooking course?
05:05No, Matthew took her to Antigua for their wedding anniversary
05:08It's mango
05:10It's good to hear you're moving back to London, lass
05:17Matthew has to stay in New York until autumn
05:19And Jonty's starting pre-prep at Easter
05:23I needed to get him home and settled
05:25Sister Julianne, I will be free for midwifery duty
05:29Should you be short-staffed?
05:30We very seldom are at present
05:33Things have been remarkably quiet
05:35I have offered her a receptionist role
05:37At my new osteopathy practice on Harley Street
05:40But no dice, apparently
05:41You're only there four hours a week
05:42Nevertheless, his couch sees a constant parade of celebrities
05:46By all accounts
05:48Celebrities!
05:49Coming to you with their crooked necks
05:51I hope you're going to them names
05:52Professional discretion is my watchword
05:55Have a mince pie
05:56Fred, have you seen the time?
06:07We're going to miss the plane
06:08The party was running late
06:10And I didn't want to disappoint the kiddies
06:11Get in the cap
06:12You can change out who's got costume on the way
06:26Please let me knock my hanky
06:56And put it on my head, Vi
06:57No, we'll get you a nice, smart Panama hat
07:01As soon as we've left these parcels with the sisters
07:04We're looking for a sign that says
07:08Hibiscus Street
07:09Derek says it should be written in Chinese
07:12As well as English
07:14Wow, thank you so much, huh?
07:24There it is
07:27There it is
07:31Coming up
07:32Coming up
07:33Coming up
07:34Coming up
07:35Coming up
07:36Coming up
07:37Coming up
07:38Coming up
07:39Don't look at me
07:40Don't look at me
07:41Don't come here
07:42The burning has collapsed
07:44Stay back please
07:45The burning has collapsed
07:46Please stay back
07:47Colonel
07:54Must be fatalities
08:11I'm sorry to intercept you sister but
08:20Mrs. Buckle has just telephoned from Hong Kong
08:24It's about the branch house
08:26How on earth can an entire building just collapse?
08:31I've never heard of anything so colonial
08:33There were rumours that the ground in that area was unstable
08:37But whatever the cause, it's the consequences that are truly shocking
08:42Sister Alice and sister David were both killed
08:45Oh no
08:46Along with the doctor who worked with them
08:48Some of the children in the nursery did not survive
08:51Meanwhile, the maternity ward has been destroyed
08:55The sisters are homeless
08:56And the people who depend upon them are scattered across Kowloon
09:00Once they have overcome this, they will need somewhere to live and carry on their work
09:04Now, they need a doctor
09:06They need nurses
09:08And they need midwives
09:10In short, sister
09:12They need us
09:17I keep thinking we should be making Christmas trees for the carnival
09:20Not palm trees
09:21The theme of the float
09:23Is a Caribbean Christmas
09:25There's going to be a steel band playing carols
09:28And a gospel choir
09:30Love
09:35Are these the palm trees?
09:37Mm-hmm
09:38I'm starting to think we should be making jacarandas
09:41So
09:43What's this letter you want to talk to me about?
09:48If ten days on the ground in Hong Kong means that we can get them through this crisis
09:53I am more than happy to put a locum in the surgery
09:55And sister Veronica, you must go
09:58Well, you were three years at that branch house
10:01You're the only one with even a glancing knowledge of the way things work out there
10:04I will go wherever I'm told
10:06I will do whatever I'm told
10:08Very well
10:09Dr. Turner will go
10:10As will Nurse Crane
10:12Sister Veronica
10:13And myself
10:16So this man, this
10:18Mr. Fisher
10:19Who writes with an educated hand
10:21From an address in Belgravia
10:23Wants to rent this flat
10:25With immediate effect
10:26For a period of time that he is unable to specify
10:30For an amount
10:31That we are free to name
10:33You'll call me ruthless if you want to
10:35But Pastor Robinson
10:37What I make of it
10:39Is money for the church
10:41Running a church is always going to cost somebody something
10:44I'll find somewhere else to lay my head for a week or two
10:47The truth is I'm more worried about me missing you over there than I am about me being missed over here
10:53You were vital to everything when we were in South Africa
10:56And I came home with Teddy on the way
10:59Look, Timothy is quite old enough to hold the fort if you came to Hong Kong
11:05He's home on study leave for a month
11:08Patrick, I'm needed here
11:14That's the last box, Miss Higgins
11:20Dr. Elise Watkiss is our first choice for locum cover
11:23She's young but has excellent GP experience
11:26I will attend to the necessary paper work
11:28Timothy, you might call the pharmacy regarding the export forms whilst I see to this
11:33Yes, Miss Higgins
11:41And you'll never guess what
11:43You can see it clear as day now it's blown up life size
11:48Mum, look
11:49Oh, it's me
11:51As a baby
11:53Before we even knew her
11:55I would recognize her anywhere
11:58Come on ladies
12:00Dig as deep as you can
12:02Merry Christmas
12:03Thank you very much
12:04Every penny counts
12:06Don't be shy
12:15Some of these clothes are ours, Mum
12:17Yes, I went up into the loft and there were bags full of Woolies that went back years
12:23This was mine
12:24I remember this
12:25You had it when you first arrived from China
12:28Would you rather we didn't send it off?
12:30Yes
12:31The radio reporter says ready when you are
12:35Ten-year-old May Turner has a special reason for helping with the appeal today
12:39Can you tell the listeners what it is, May?
12:40I was born there
12:41I was born there
12:42A photograph of May, aged 12 months and held safely in the arms of a Nunatus nun features on posters for the rescue mission
12:56As the Nunatus sisters are popular head east to help, do you have a message for people listening, May?
13:00Please give all you can
13:07Please give all you can
13:09Because
13:11Because
13:17Some of the children there have nothing
13:24Sister Hilda will be joining the Nunatus party at Heathrow
13:28At least that's only one plane we have to meet, Fred
13:32Derek
13:33You're eating the lime marmalade
13:35I'm not gonna lie to you
13:37I've laid awake at night dreaming of this stuff
13:40Thanks for bringing it
13:41And the mustard
13:42Proper taste of home
13:43It's even got English written on the tin
13:46Fred and I were wondering about popping over to Kowloon
13:49To see if there's anything we can take the poor sisters
13:52Mum
13:53Kowloon isn't the East End
13:55Nobody pops over there
13:56And not to that bit of it anyway
13:58Hibiscus Street's about as dodgy as it gets
14:01Drugs, prostitution, smuggling
14:03Smuggling
14:04Makes you wonder why the sisters are so keen to stay there
14:07Well it's the same as popular, innit?
14:09Bad things happen
14:10Good people sort you out
14:11Best people in the world couldn't sort Triad out
14:13What is Triad, Derek?
14:16Organised crime
14:17It's invisible
14:19And it's everywhere
14:22I got used to Tim not being here because he's at medical school
14:26What I can't get used to is him not being here because he's in the pub
14:30Mum and Dad
14:35You should be in bed, Tillie Mint
14:38We've been talking
14:39It's very late
14:40We've all been talking
14:42And we all want you to go to Hong Kong, Mum
14:45Do you?
14:47Yes
14:48And I want you to take this
14:51And that was confirmation that you can refer any health visitor business over to Miss Haynes at the Stepney Clinic
15:06If I say so myself, the plan is impregnable
15:09You, meanwhile, are the only one I trust with my Rolodex
15:13I will guard it with my life
15:14And Nurse Aylwood considers herself on call at any time should you require her support with any administration
15:21I'm also available for midwifery duty, you only have to pick up the phone
15:25Thank you
15:26It's most unlikely that it will come to that
15:28This is a mercy mission
15:35It's also a mercy dash and we'll be home soon
15:38By the time we all gather here again
15:41We will have left our friends in Hong Kong
15:44In a place of hope
15:47And of comfort
15:49And of joy
15:51Thank you
15:52Thank you
15:53All of you
15:54For helping us to help them
16:16I am reminded of
16:18Split fires streaming overhead
16:20To skies and fights
16:23Half known
16:25But undetermined
16:29They'll all be home by Christmas
16:31That was our motto
16:34In a different war
16:36I still don't like the idea of you living in a bedsit
16:48Like you'd just come off the boat
16:51It's a better bedsit than I had in those days
16:53It's got fitted carpets and hot water
17:06It's not all like it
17:09We are going to be able to get into the boat
17:11To get a beautiful course
17:12After we run away
17:13That is the day
17:14And of course
17:17Have we been able to get into the beautiful place
17:19Let us know
17:20Oh
17:21Oh
17:22You I take it
17:23Oh will I get a pastor C.A. Robinson
17:25Of the shining tabernacle church of God
17:27Oh
17:28And you must be Mr. Fisher
17:30Please come in
17:31Please come in
17:32We got rid of the electric meter to stop the lights going out when people were testifying.
17:41And this is the bedroom.
17:53We put up thick curtains so the trains won't bother you in the night.
17:57Oh, the trains won't bother me at any time of day.
18:27I thought you'd be saying lords in your room, Sister Monica Joan.
18:43In Hong Kong, they will be saying the afternoon office.
18:52And the sun does not vary, no matter from which corner of the globe we offer up our praise.
18:59I shall raise my voice with yours and theirs.
19:06Come in heaven from the Lord, who hath made heaven and earth.
19:14He will not suffer that far to be human.
19:20And he that keepeth me, he will not sleep.
19:24He will not suffer that far to be human.
19:54There they, there they.
20:02If it is, Dr Turner, you just have to keep your nerve.
20:07I haven't lost my nerve, Fred.
20:09I have lost sight of the van containing all of the medical supplies and the donations.
20:14I told the driver at the airport.
20:16I said they were to follow immediately behind us.
20:19I wonder what you were saying.
20:21You sounded commendably forceful.
20:23We just have to hope you said what you thought you said.
20:26If we have any problems whatsoever, my Derek has told me which police station to go to and to use his name.
20:33That's one of our sisters.
20:46Sister, I greet you in the Lord Jesus Christ's name.
21:02We greet you likewise.
21:03There is much to be considered.
21:12There is much to be considered.
21:16Seven day.
21:18I have them upstairs.
21:20Sick nun.
21:21Sick children.
21:23And we could not be more grateful.
21:26See that term, Cantonese?
21:29I know.
21:31Not important.
21:32Trouble.
21:33I know also.
21:34You have trouble.
21:36Come.
21:36Help.
21:48We can't all be living here.
21:50Onward, I can hear the child crying.
21:57I can hear the child crying.
21:57I believe Sister Simon will need to go to hospital and have her wrist reset under anaesthetic.
22:22And I suspect Sister Prudence has a broken collarbone.
22:27We're going to have to stand them all down and send them for hospital treatment.
22:33When did the diarrhea start?
22:35Before the cough or after?
22:37Doctor, I know what ails me.
22:40I have tuberculosis.
22:43Are you sure?
22:44Or do you simply fear it?
22:46Miliary tuberculosis.
22:48The worst kind.
22:49Tuberculosis is so very contagious.
22:52It has spread from my lungs throughout my body.
22:56I have little time left to live.
22:59When were you diagnosed?
23:00The day the clinic collapsed.
23:03I was told by our doctor, Dr. Lee.
23:07I took myself out for a walk whilst she arranged for me to go to a sanatorium.
23:13And when I returned, there was no clinic.
23:20And no doctor.
23:24And no bed in a sanatorium.
23:26And no choice but to carry on handling the children.
23:29You're kind, nurse.
23:45Just doing my job, lass.
23:47The least main treatment for pre-eclampsia is bed rest.
23:53Both these ladies have had that rudimentary though the beds may be.
23:58Once we've unpacked, I'll ask them to oblige me with some samples and get the dipsticks out.
24:03This is infected.
24:08I don't think it's been properly cleaned.
24:10Is it any wonder with them all huddled up here without even the barest essentials?
24:15Not to mention ignoring their own injuries.
24:18If you ask me, the sisters work miracles enough just keeping everyone alive.
24:24And now it's our turn.
24:29This place reminds me of a cash and carry.
24:31There must be a gross of tin bamboo shoots in this box.
24:36And enough soy sauce to float about with it.
24:39Do you reckon Mrs. Marr would mind if we move stuff about?
24:43We'll have to ask her, Fred.
24:45I know she's a Christian convert and she has been very accommodating.
24:49But these are her premises.
24:51I need the labelled crates and medical supplies, Fred.
24:55We have to run urgent TB tests on everyone.
24:58Over here, Doc.
24:59Excellent. Excellent.
25:03No.
25:05No, no, no, no.
25:08These have been forced open.
25:14It's all gone.
25:17Is that the new Vista Sanatorium?
25:21You have been charity itself, Mrs. Marr.
25:30I'll hold.
25:31You took the sisters in and gave them food and shelter.
25:34Only to your rescue.
25:36You are rescue!
25:37Now you're all gone.
25:39But we have nowhere else to go.
25:42We will find a new clinic.
25:44We will find a new convent.
25:45But we cannot do that today.
25:48It's not safe.
25:50Why is it not safe?
25:56You stay.
25:58Stay now.
25:59But go soon.
26:01And use back door, not front.
26:10Linata's house.
26:11Redworth speaking.
26:12Can I bring my wife to the maternity home, please?
26:15Of course, sir.
26:16What name is it?
26:19She says what name?
26:21Diane Mary Edgar!
26:23Diane Mary Edgar.
26:29I made myself a cup of coffee, Miss Higgins.
26:31Do you want?
26:31Uh, thank you.
26:33I generally keep myself in check until elevens is.
26:38Your white coat should be hanging on the back of the door of the consulting room.
26:41Would you like me to fetch it?
26:42It's fine.
26:43I don't need it yet.
26:45We've got bad coughs coming in at half past nine, in ten past ten, and at eleven.
26:49All-
26:49Is that appropriate?
26:57Excellent.
26:58I'll have a quick rummage through their notes, just to make sure.
27:02The files are through here, aren't they?
27:03They are indeed.
27:04No fluids in the filing room, if you'd be so kind.
27:07Perfect work.
27:21You certainly know what you're doing.
27:23Oh, I feel terrible about bringing those reindeer heads.
27:26I'd have never got them finished otherwise.
27:29Good morning.
27:30May I help you?
27:31My name's Queenie Forsythe.
27:32My daughter's in child bed.
27:34We arrived last night.
27:37There are six massive pushes I've done now.
27:41It's not budget, nurse.
27:44Let's get you back on the bed, and then I can examine you.
27:48We'll soon have a better idea of your progress.
27:50I'm telling you now, there hasn't been any.
27:53This one's not playing the same game as my others.
27:55Midwife's calling.
28:15Good gracious.
28:17It's like the first day of the sale's in here.
28:19Can we open one of those windows and let in a bit of air?
28:21How long have you been feeling that you need to push, child?
28:25I don't know.
28:27Every time they yell at me to push, I try.
28:30Five hours.
28:31Five hours she's been at it.
28:34Okay, honey.
28:35Until we know what's what, you must not push.
28:38Do you hear me?
28:39You must not push.
28:40I am not a bossy woman, but I am me and bossy love.
28:47How much did your other babies weigh, Diane?
28:50Seven pound six and eight pound nine.
28:52Darren was like giving birth to a sofa.
28:54This one feels like a ruddy three-piece suite and a coffee table.
28:57I think baby might be on the bonny side, but I don't think he's read the book that tells
29:03him how to line up nicely for delivery.
29:06Doctor, could you pop across and speak to Dr. Wapkiss?
29:10It's R-O-D.
29:16A right occipitotransverse.
29:18And quite a big baby.
29:20But my dad, Dr. Turner, always attends in the event of any transverse position.
29:25Well, I'd better come through then.
29:29That poor girl started pushing long, long before she was ready.
29:33Has she damaged her cervix?
29:34It's not torn, but it's so swollen.
29:36I can actually see it at the entrance to her vagina.
29:39No, baby's going to get through that unless we bring that swelling down.
29:44We need ice.
29:45Ice?
29:47I think I saw a refrigerator.
29:49If we don't make this work, she'll need a cesarean section.
29:53Diane, don't cry.
29:56There are all sorts of things we can do to get things moving.
29:59Would Dr. Turner try the von Toos, do you think?
30:03No.
30:04He always uses forceps in a transverse position.
30:09In which case, we'll continue with trial of labour.
30:15We'll transfer you to St. Cuthbert's if we get no joy.
30:18Timothy, this won't do.
30:30In the laughter's house, if you pursue midwives, they are all abroad.
30:36Or otherwise at large.
30:37Is there nobody there at all?
30:38Nurse Clifford has a multi-powerous woman in obstructed labour.
30:43And the locum doesn't know how to use forceps.
30:46Supply the details.
30:48And I will provide the advice.
30:49You're going to be grateful to me in the long run, but I'm not going to lie to you and say this ice pack is the nicest thing you ever had slip underneath your covers.
30:59Are you allowed to love things like that?
31:05I don't get the chance very often.
31:12It's freezing.
31:13Serves you right for being disrespectful.
31:15Diane, we need you head down and with your bottom in the air.
31:25This position will stretch your pelvic ligaments and give the baby enough room to adjust its head position.
31:31I hope you have that on going to foray.
31:33The best authority you can possibly imagine.
31:38Let her have a little nap.
31:41Is there anything else wrong with her?
31:42I don't think so.
31:44But Queenie, women need skilled help when they're given birth.
31:48Especially when it's their first.
31:49I took her to the doctor when she first knew that she'd fallen.
31:52We were up in the far north then.
31:55You should forget where you've been.
31:57I haven't decided where you're going.
32:00And besides, I went to the hospital with me last one.
32:04I wouldn't venture that again.
32:07I'll examine her.
32:08Let's hope it's worked.
32:09I just want to lie down.
32:14Baby has shifted position, Diane.
32:16All we need to do now is make things with gravity.
32:23I'm going to have to push.
32:24That's all right, Diane.
32:26You give it everything you've got.
32:29This is the bit where I'm glad I did the animal.
32:30I fear verbal instructions alone would not suffice.
32:39Verbal instruction has done more than you could possibly imagine.
32:43Baby's head is beginning to cram.
32:44The swelling has gone down, Marie.
32:49But I need you to do exactly as I say.
32:52Listen to Nurse Hyland.
32:54On the next one, I want your chin on your chest.
32:56And a slow, quiet, steady push.
33:00Slow.
33:01Slow, quiet, steady.
33:12We've got the head.
33:15Come on.
33:16You can do it.
33:17Keep it coming.
33:19Keep it coming.
33:20Is he a boy or a girl?
33:28I'm afraid I can't tell.
33:29I've got something in my eye.
33:35Can you see Sister Monica Joan?
33:37I can see every aspect of the miracle.
33:41You have a daughter.
33:42This stinging will end soon, Marie.
33:52Just breathe.
33:54Just breathe.
33:56And we have a head.
33:58Well done, honey.
34:02We also have my cornea.
34:06The midwife says we need an ambulance.
34:09Oh, boy.
34:09Oh, boy.
34:39You have a little boy, Marie.
34:42I don't know.
34:44All will be well, Marie.
34:46I promise you, all will be well.
34:59He must be baptized.
35:00Now.
35:01But there will be a chaplain at the hospital, Queenie.
35:03This is his home.
35:04And he is not leaving his mother's arms until he is baptized.
35:07God.
35:09Well, Dr. Watkiss's curriculum vitae stated very clearly she is fully trained in obstetrics.
35:20She has now revealed that in almost five years of GP practice, she has only delivered two babies, neither with any complications.
35:26Well, that's the way it is these days.
35:28We're all trained in obstetrics, but the expectation is that almost every baby will be born in hospital.
35:35Dr. Watkiss wanted to continue trial of labor, but we couldn't countermand her because she's more senior.
35:40And next time, we may not have Sister Monica Joan to call on.
35:44Any wisdom I have was hard won in the days when there might have been no doctor to send for.
35:50We were wise out of necessity, and you are skilled in your own right.
35:58Nevertheless, I will not permit this to happen again.
36:02I am sending for Nurse Earlwood.
36:04Lord Jesus Christ, who took little children in your arms and blessed them,
36:14hold this infant, Luke Michael, in your matchless love, today and always.
36:20Fill his mother and father with your peace, and cherish him according to thy will.
36:26Amen.
36:28Amen.
36:30Amen.
36:30Amen.
36:31Amen.
36:45Is it worth asking if the army have any record of her?
36:49She would have just been cheap, casual labor.
36:52After she lost her job, she must have been desperate.
36:59And where would desperation take you in a city of this size?
37:04We have to find out.
37:07Lester Tan gave us the greatest gift we've ever had.
37:11And we can't abandon her.
37:14No, we can't.
37:22Sister Hilda.
37:25Are you lying awake for the same reason that I'm lying awake?
37:29I don't know.
37:31Well, I'm lying awake because we've flown halfway around the world on a rescue mission.
37:37And if we get thrown out of this place by Mrs. Marr,
37:40we're going to be in as much need of rescue as anyone else.
37:42The injured and the six sisters are leaving in the morning.
37:49Sister Edith to the sanatorium, and the other sisters to the Roman Catholic Hospital.
37:54We have orphans to care for, and expectant mothers, any one of whom could have caught TB.
38:00And out in the street, there are prostitutes and addicts who will look to ask for help.
38:05I know there are, but we will pray, and we will wait to see what love can do.
38:12We will pray, and we will pray.
38:42We will pray, and we will pray.
39:12We will pray, and we will pray, and we will pray, and we will pray, and we will pray, and we will pray.
39:18Sister Elwood, as it happens, I've accepted a promotion during the absence of Dr. Turner,
39:35under whom I've worked for 16 years ever since I qualified so we have three
39:43mothers over 42 gestational diabetes and Maureen Santaro I know already she had
39:49her first set of twins with us second set isn't unheard of I've never handled a
39:53multiple pregnancy sister well there's always a first time
39:56Dr. Watkiss and I will call ourselves cubicle one send them all to us and we'll
40:00see how we do
40:09hello Queenie have you brought Marie she's still above in the hospital with the
40:17baby he's after taking the antibiotics she's doing grand it's me that needs to
40:25see you are you expecting Queenie under this coat and having me ninth you don't
40:33shout about it when you get to my age but I heard what you and the other nurse was
40:40saying I need skilled help if you want it we'll make sure you get it I do want it
40:47my last was a stillborn even though I had it in hospital I'm so sorry that
40:54happened to you Queenie we're going to walk beside you now
40:59I'll start by filling in your co-op card
41:06Oh a tin of carnation milk if you please ah and a quarter of humbugs if you'll be so kind
41:26oh no no no no no no no perhaps just two ounces I do not consume them in any
41:31conspicuous place you don't want them are turning sticky at the bottom of the
41:35bag oh
41:44oh I thought I heard that it catches isn't it I think mr. Buckle was supposed to
41:55get a little eyelid before he went away he must have forgotten but then I thought I'd imagined it
42:02it
42:04it catches
42:10it's all very well and good complaining that all the people who can deliver babies have gone
42:15to Hong Kong I'm more concerned that all the people who can sew have gone to Hong Kong
42:19you're always waving your magic wand and producing costumes Jeffrey and no one's going to see the
42:24details it's pro carnival everything's going to be moving past at speed well moving past I'm an ideas
42:31man and a contacts man I'm not a needle and thread man and it was not my idea to dress up the midwives of
42:38Nanata's house as angels complete with ostrich feather wings I thought we could do it with just a bit of
42:43cotton and sticking like grizzling in our Christmas trees they're palm trees I heard rumors the sewing machine was out
42:50Angela just tried on a spoon costume and ripped it
42:53oh you look like you could do with a snowball honey do you want some maraschino cherry in it
42:58have to what sort of wounds have they taught you to suture at medical school oh my highlights include
43:05closure of incision after two appendectomies and I did a rugby player scalp once needle thread if you want a
43:13cocktail you're going to have to earn it
43:20this is not the way I intended my service to end it's a patient in the sanatorium you have given all you can
43:37all you can sister Edith that is enough and more it was the children I lived for and loved the best I remember your daughter well
43:49me she's ten years old now and so many children passed through the orphanage I took medicine to her mother Esther
44:01three months ago she was living out on Tao Street number 122 the numbers daubed on on the door
44:13sister Edith do you think she might still be there she was there once and not too long ago beyond that I cannot say
44:24the sooner we are able to move into the premises the better it will be for the people in our care
44:48I can even overlook the pigeon infestation for a small reduction in the rent down payment will be 2,000 Hong Kong dollars
44:57the sisters have the funds for that and there will be ongoing support from a number of
45:03oh thank you I'm going let's hope the army can help with our medical supplies the collapse of that clinic barely made the news here
45:14and of course we're delighted to assist now that we know there's a res commission on the sisters need all the help
45:19they can get so it's not disinterest because buildings fall down all the time it's avoidance because it's going to
45:26happen more and more everybody knows that and there's nothing we can do because of the overcrowding because
45:31they just keep building upwards on insecure foundations one misplaced mudslide could obliterate Kowloon
45:37at least we can improve on the human side of things
45:40morning major morning corporal I'm coming with my best party manners and a begging bowl
45:48really extraordinarily kind of you to accompany us Mrs. Buckle
46:05I thought it may be necessary to tell untrue sister and I thought if that was the case then better me than you
46:17Mrs. Buckle have you told untruths?
46:20No!
46:22I may have slightly preempted one or two realities although I'm sure the Rotary Club will be
46:28only too pleased to offer their support once I make contact and explain the situation
46:35I don't even ask about the private philanthropists
46:38One of them is me
46:40and I'm sure there will be others
46:43It's not just the TB kits and penicillin I'm grateful to the major for it's use of the army labs for processing the tests
47:05It's all well and good to sisters having faith in God
47:12But I reckon the military beat him every time
47:16The military is certainly better organised
47:18Well I suppose they have to be the same as the police especially with all this triad malarkey
47:24Just like the Kray Twins and then some
47:27I've stitched wounds inflicted by the Kray Twins
47:30But they never bothered us
47:33More Nonata's house
47:35In fact the sisters were revered
47:38I don't reckon the triad revered the sisters here
47:41If they did they would help them
47:43I think you're right
47:44You know violence derrick says there's somebody triad in every street that people have to answer to or pay
47:54And Mrs. Ma is living in fear of someone
48:07Oh I'm searching for a young lady called Esther Tang
48:12She used to live at this address and has a young boy about the same age as this little one
48:17I wonder if you or your wife might know where she moved to?
48:29She has gone
48:30She will not return
48:37Miss
48:38Miss
48:39Esther left one week ago
48:41Did she say where she was going?
48:43She was sick and she was afraid
48:46Don't look for her please
48:48Can I ask your name?
48:50Grace
48:52Don't look
48:54Don't look

49:57Three years be our maiden name
50:03Joyce, Trixie's supposed to be doing our make-up but there's no sign of her
50:08She's not the only one who knows what to do with a bit of eye shadow
50:11And if she doesn't turn up on time
50:13Our floaters leave them without her
50:15Isn't it going to look a bit feeble with just the three of us?
50:18We are midwives
50:20Not the foremost men of the apocalypse
50:22Pack, pack, pack
50:24You are all to visit the toilets now

51:01Wearing improperly attached angel wings
51:03Well I can assure you I wasn't
51:05Oh for pity's sake
51:07Pitching this pram through snow is like dicing with insanity
51:12What's that?
51:13It's a walking stick
51:15It's actually rather elegant
51:18I think it's got a solid silver top
51:20Oh no no sis I know this
51:23This belongs to one of my Harley Street patients
51:26Maurice Templemore
51:27He was an enormous film star when the talkist first came out
51:30What's it doing here in Poplar?
51:32Also if there's one thing I do know
51:34If you find a walking stick lying on the ground
51:36You're likely to find its owner nearby and lying in a similar position
51:40Sir?
51:41No, Maurice Templemore cannot be in Poplar
51:45I doubt he even knows where Poplar is
51:47He must have been burgled
51:48Sir?
51:49Sir?
51:50Are we here?
51:52I'm terribly sorry
51:58I seem to have rather over-stretched myself
