00:01I don't know what that ice cream van's doing.
00:04Mrs. Bianchi's having some strong peers.
00:07We're going to get her settled and take a look at her.
00:09Oh, they're lasting a minute each.
00:11And how often are they coming?
00:14Well, I don't know.
00:16Am I meant to write them all down?
00:17Is that by any chance your ice cream van parked outside, Mr. Bianchi?
00:21Yes, it is.
00:22Only got it last summer.
00:24Best ice cream in Poplar, guaranteed.
00:26I'm sure it is, but at the present moment we're more interested in delivering babies than ice cream.
00:32Would you mind turning off the music?
00:35Oh, sorry.
00:44What do you want me to do with these, then?
00:47Mm-hmm.
00:49I'll take the run of beans.
00:51We can have those with the chops I've planned.
00:53Everything else can go to the Harvest Festival.
00:56What?
00:57Even the Marrows?
00:58They would have won first prize in the multicultural show if I'd have been ready in time.
01:02They're bigger than toddlers' legs, Fred.
01:05And I haven't the time to be stuffing them with mints and making a white sauce.
01:12I'll take them to the nurse's house, then.
01:14The children will march from there to the church in a procession.
01:18Your produce will be widely admired.
01:23You're not in labour just yet, honey.
01:25These are just what we call Braxton Hicks contractions.
01:28It's your buddy rehearsing for the real team.
01:30Mm.
01:31I feel a bit of a fool now.
01:33And it's taken Tony away from his van.
01:35That van's our whole livelihood now I've stopped working.
01:37Have I missed it?
01:39It's all right.
01:40You're safe.
01:41It was a false alarm.
01:46Good job we never told no one.
01:48I'll get me leg pulled something rotten.
01:54Is there anything you need taking to the post office, sister?
01:57I'm rather more concerned about a letter I took to the post office two weeks ago.
02:01The one you wrote to the Board of Health?
02:03Yes.
02:04Telling them we would close Nunnata's house
02:07if we were no longer allowed to work as Christian missionaries.
02:11I expected a response from them at the very least.
02:14It's entirely likely that they're playing games.
02:16Keeping you waiting because you kept them waiting.
02:19One would hope they were above such pettiness
02:22when there is so much at stake.
02:24Come on, let's go.
02:25Mateo.
02:26Come on, let's go.
02:27Mateo.
02:28Come on, this way.
02:31Idiot.
02:32You took her in too early.
02:33Hey, bruv.
02:34You coming to football tonight?
02:35I don't know, Mateo.
02:36I'm not really in the mood.
02:37You stop coming to football.
02:38You stop coming swimming.
02:39You need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
02:41Come on, let's go.
02:42You got everything?
02:43Let's go.
02:44See you, baby, brother.
02:45You got the bag?
02:46Come on, let's go.
02:47Come on.
02:48Come on, let's go.
02:49You got everything?
02:50Let's go.
02:51See you, baby, brother.
02:52You got the bag?
02:53You got the bag?
02:54Come on, let's go.
02:55I do not have unlimited quantities of copacular matter in my veins.
03:00Sister, you're a nurse.
03:03You know as well as I do that blood replenishes itself.
03:07And we need to get to the bottom of what ails you.
03:11We all know what ails me.
03:14I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
03:20Sister, I have five minutes before I leave on my rounds.
03:24Would you like me to move the television into your room?
03:27Do you suppose I'm at the point of expiry?
03:30There is no reason to treat me as an invalid, as the analysis of my blood will testify.
03:42Ladies and gentlemen, the doors to tonight's wrestling in the main hall will open in five minutes.
03:47No!
03:48No!
03:49No!
03:50Why do you care to you, sir?

04:11about deferment since I gave up drink I've learned you can bear anything if
04:18you pretend it's forever I can postpone I can wait but putting things off until
04:26tomorrow doesn't always work because what if tomorrow never comes I've been
04:35postponing a decision for a long time now
04:57harmony it's not a decision about drink it's a decision about
05:04work and work is my other addiction is there a doctor in here anyone I'm a
05:13nurse that'll do it's a concussion
05:18you're staging sporting events you're legally obliged to have medical help on

06:28any better ideas
06:30I know it was a false alarm for that he but
06:35made me think how real all this is
06:40how we've made a proper grown-up life
06:45you do go on
06:47it's like me and the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder
06:52oh it wasn't that it was being the one who is no good at all the things the others did
06:59it's not your fault you won't cut out for the tiling trade
07:02besides I'd rather have a bit of soft scoop than a hundred yards of mosaic flooring
07:10come on lights out

07:14nothing
07:15Tony there's blood on your singlet
07:18what is it show me

07:35in the morning I'm ringing the doctor
07:37out
07:47okay
07:48wrestling was all I knew
07:53even as a little girl
07:55my dab was burnt savage lamb of pamphlet
07:58god rest him
07:59I used to watch him every time he fought
08:01it's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps
08:03even more wonderful if it were legal
08:05there's a whole lady circuit up north just as legitimate as the men's but in London we're outlaws
08:11I really would like you to be seen by a doctor if at all possible harmony
08:15oh my real name's Gwen
08:17thanks for seeing us home
08:21come a little in
08:23I've given up to me sports and everything
08:37so unsightly
08:40I probably just banged it
08:43oh
08:45it looks like a sebaceous cyst to me
08:49antibiotics will take the edge off it but I think it needs to be removed
08:55oh I got a baby to any day
08:57all the more reason to get it out of the way
09:00I'll call St Cuthbert's myself
09:03now that is a bird song I can easily identify
09:18the lesser spotted buck
09:20ah sister how you keeping
09:23I'm keeping on
09:25if a little more desiccated with every week the passes
09:31perhaps I should not linger
09:34lest you sweep me up with all the other dead leaves
09:39I've got a bag of donuts in my shed
09:41would they cheer you up a bit?
09:43are they jam filled?
09:44no they're the ones with the holes in
09:46then I will forego them
09:48do you detect a chill in the breeze today?
09:52I reckon I felt the first nip
09:55I like it when the seasons start to turn though
09:59that time of year the maced in me behold
10:02when yellow leaves
10:04or none or few
10:06do hang upon those boughs
10:09that shake with cold
10:11bare ruined choirs
10:15where late the sweet birds sang
10:19in me
10:21thou seest the twilight of such day
10:25as after sunset fadeth in the west
10:28which by and by
10:31like night doth take away
10:34their second self
10:36that seals up all in rest
10:40you must rest
10:41you must rest
10:55you must rest
10:57sister monica chone
10:58you must put this on
11:00time, Mr. Buckle
11:05its passage and its sheer
11:08weary accumulation
11:11would you like a cup of tea?
11:15if you will sit and take one with me
11:17if you will sit and take one with me
11:18if you will sit and take one with me
11:29well Miss Savage
11:30I'm not seeing anything that needs further tests
11:32any other bumps or bruises you'd like me to look at?
11:36I've got a rash keeps coming up sort of on the back of my shoulder
11:41if you just slip your blouse off dear
11:44don't believe I've ever met a lady wrestler before
11:48imagine it's quite physically taxing
11:51I call over sometimes
11:53fight or no fight
12:05I think I know what this is
12:07it's a skin virus called herpes gladiatorum
12:11gladiator like in Spartacus
12:13I love a bit of Kirk Douglas
12:15don't we always
12:17I'm afraid this comes from grazing your skin on grubby campers
12:20in the ring
12:22your best bet is to wash it daily
12:24with medicated soap
12:26and bathe the blisters in salt water
12:28can I do that with my hips and my knees?
12:30do you have a rash there as well?
12:32no we just hurt all the time
12:34Miss Savage
12:35are you able to take a break from your work for a while?
12:38no
12:39I've got mouths to feed
12:40mine and my little boys
12:42I've been looking forward to this moment all day
12:50I popped on the market and bought myself a new pair of slippers for the winter
12:56I never knew you could love a bit of sheepskin on your feet till I came to live in England
13:02me neither
13:04me neither
13:06I'm sorry child
13:08you're all wrapped up in something
13:10I'm trying to work out exactly when I started taking a pill
13:14calculated against the number of actual pills you have to take before it protects you
13:18and why is that?
13:21I've never missed a single one
13:23I'm wondering if it's thrown my hormones out of whack
13:27I mean it can do that can't it?
13:29child
13:30the whole point of the pill is to throw your hormones out of whack
13:33that's how it stops you getting pregnant
13:35are you late?
13:38I've been late before
13:41and things just sort of corrected themselves
13:46that would have been before you had a boyfriend
13:51do you think you need to do a test?
13:54no
13:55not yet
14:02do you want to attack? do you want to give out?
14:04he's short
14:11she can't do that
14:18no
14:19no
14:20hey
14:21yes
14:22hey
14:23it's our close best
14:24no
14:29Lord
14:30and ladies
14:31and gentlemen
14:32the winner is
14:33Demolition
14:34Debbie
14:41are you feeling sick?
14:56this is not good honey
14:58but we're going to do a test
15:00I'll help you
15:01I don't want anyone to know
15:03they won't
15:08my name is Higgins
15:09have the samples gone off to the laboratory yet?
15:11they will be dispatched very shortly
15:13but if you wish to add any to the list
15:15I'm afraid you must see to the paperwork yourself
15:34nurse?
15:35good morning Gwen
15:36Dr. Turner remembered an iodine preparation he thought might help with your skin condition
15:40I told him I'd drop it off
15:43have you been in another fight?
15:45yes
15:46and I didn't win that one either
15:54new schooled stay old chap
15:56I overslept again
15:57I don't like going in late cause gets told off
15:59I imagine you're exhausted after a match
16:02after a match
16:03I'm always exhausted
16:04but
16:05I'm a mum aren't I?
16:06and it's just me
16:08if I weren't tired
16:09I mean I was slacking
16:11I'm a stepmother
16:12to a little boy of Carl's age
16:14that certainly keeps one on one's toes
16:17I hope he talks like you do
16:18you've got a lovely way of putting things
16:21can I make you a cuppa?
16:23a cuppa would actually be extremely welcome
16:26but I should be making you one
16:27I'm sorry I'll have to get out
16:45that's all I've got this time
16:46I'll give you the full amount next week
16:48I've heard that before
16:51and more than once
16:52I am not a charity
17:00now there ain't nothing in here but feathers
17:03I'm officially skint
17:04do you keep your money in a cushion cover?
17:06I don't trust banks
17:08at least it's where I know my money is
17:09even when I've got none
17:12sorry I've
17:14gone dizzy
17:15Mr. Bianchi
17:20I'm Mr. Penn Warden
17:21I'll be removing this cyst for you
17:23do you mind if I take a look?
17:33don't want to go hacking away on the wrong side
17:42could just drain this
17:43but I'm leaning on the side of getting the whole thing out
17:52your bloods may come back perfectly normal
17:55but I strongly suspect
17:56that if you'd have almost passed out in front of Dr. Turner
17:59he'd want to check your iron levels
18:01maybe I just need a tonic
18:03maybe you do
18:05I just think that as another woman
18:06who's often had to stand on her own two feet
18:09you need to be in better condition than this
18:11you're on your own with your kitty?
18:14no
18:16but I was very much on my own for a long time
18:19before he and his father came into my life
18:21and I know what it feels like to be fighting an invisible opponent
18:26I fight invisible ones and all
18:28and I've no doubt you're extremely good at it
18:31but you need someone more than a wrestling promoter in your corner
18:33let us help find out what's causing your malaise
18:40nurse Clifford's gone out to the cinema
18:42but Nurse Ireland says we can have the box
18:44her new slippers came in
18:46could there be a more perfect showcase for nature's bounty?
18:50oh!
18:52we can do a lot with ribbon and crypt paper
18:53and that's before we start tying bows round marrows
18:56oh! these lamentable scissors
18:59they wouldn't cut butter
19:01shall I see if I can find a sharper pair?
19:03what we really need is sister Veronica and her magic pinking shears
19:08how long has she gone to the mother house for?
19:11a lengthy retreat
19:13I wasn't allowed to ask
19:15it's her private spiritual business
19:18do you suppose she took her pinking shears?
19:21I would settle for her implements if we can't have her
19:25hmm
19:48what was sister Monica Joan?
19:53I was hoping it was something that could be treated
19:57but chronic kidney disease is just
20:00something that takes old people gently but kindly
20:04but it takes them
20:06how long has she been ill with this?
20:09I suspect not long
20:12how long does she have?
20:15the same
20:18unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is
20:22she'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly
20:28till that day comes
20:30we'll just have to love her as we always have
20:33but a bit more carefully
20:42you look happy
20:44today is a happy day
20:45I got a letter from the solicitor
20:49the decree absolute
20:51I'm officially a single man
20:53everything we do now is ours
20:57our choice to make
20:59the board of health requested a meeting
21:03I told them your diary was full
21:05but they were most insistent
21:07it's in your diary for Friday
21:08thank you
21:09I anticipate the usual fun and games
21:12I need to see Anthony Bianchi
21:15I've just had his histopathology results through from the hospital
21:19should I make an appointment for him?
21:21no
21:23I'll call in on him today
21:24we told you the truth
21:28sister Veronica is on retreat
21:30you told us she had gone on retreat to the mother house
21:33she would need her cross in the mother house
21:35she would need her shoes
21:37our sister needed our discretion and I gave that willingly and with love
21:41I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed
21:43I'm sorry if I have been arrogant in thinking I deserved an explanation
21:53I can't tell you everything
21:56too much of it is personal to her
21:58but I can say she is struggling with her vows
22:01and has been given leave of absence for a while
22:04she's staying at the Oliver Christian retreat centre at Gravesend
22:09alone
22:12without anyone she knows
22:15or any friends to support her
22:18sister
22:20out of all of us
22:22sister Veronica emits the most love
22:25she needs the most love
22:27she does not know what she needs or wants
22:30and that is why she has had to go away
22:34morning
22:39have you come to see Tina?
22:42Mr Bianchi, we've come to see you
22:45I can't have breast cancer
22:50it's a women's disease
22:54we know all about that because his mum died of it
22:57I know
23:00she was a lovely lady
23:03and even in the five years since she passed away
23:07we've learned so much about it
23:10I can't have it
23:12I'm a man
23:15it is rare in men
23:17especially for someone of your age
23:19but it's not unheard of
23:21everyone has breast tissue Tony
23:24men and women
23:25we have less of it
23:28but it only takes a couple of cells to go rogue
23:32and a tumour can start to develop
23:35I have had some specialist training
23:39and there are new treatments and new approaches to surgery
23:42should I have done something sooner when I first felt the lump?
23:54we are going to focus on the future now Tony
23:58and we are going to be with you every step of the way
24:01I don't care whereabouts in your body it is
24:08you've got the big C we have to face up to it
24:11we can face up to it together
24:14without telling people
24:16what is that going to achieve Tony?
24:19you need help
24:21you need love
24:22you need love
24:24Tina
24:26I need
24:29dignity
24:31I need to feel like a man
24:36there's a bike for sale
24:42maybe for your birthday
24:44eh?
24:45if you win your next fight
24:49yeah
24:53yes
24:56doctor
24:58Gwen Savage's records arrived from her previous practice
25:02she's been suffering with tiredness and joint pain for five years
25:06did the blood test we did show anything?
25:09nothing at all conclusive
25:11just markers for minor inflammation
25:15slightly low white blood count
25:17could the pain relate to the wrestling?
25:20I saw her in the ring and it's incredibly physical
25:22but an impact injury would be on one side not both
25:28it's as though I'm missing something
25:30I never liked that
25:32they said those Braxton Hicks pains was my body tuning up for the baby to be born
25:38I got used to them but they've got worse since I found out Tony isn't well
25:42you've an immense amount to contend with at the moment
25:45but baby's head is engaged Tina
25:47I really don't think you'll have very long to wait
25:51oh this reading is just a little bit higher than I'd like
25:57we can't have anything else go wrong
25:59nothing's going to go wrong
26:01but I do want you to come over to the maternity home with me
26:04so Dr. Turner can take a look at you
26:07so Dr. Turner can take a look at you
26:08any chance of a 99?
26:10I've an elderly friend might like a bit of a pickney up
26:25what's the matter pal?
26:27what's the matter pal?
26:32Brian!
26:36you ain't put me down for a single match
26:39I can't afford to promote wrestlers who keep losing
26:43I can raise my game
26:45my dad used to say, aim up, things will look up
26:48your dad was one of the best who ever was
26:50the Lamb of Panther was revered
26:52look, all I can offer you right now is the adult fixtures
26:57oh no, no
26:59adult fixtures is one step away from stripping, Brian
27:01I keep it clean
27:03it's a place down Deptford where they roll about in jelly
27:06girls earn 30 quid about
27:0830 quid?
27:10I pay 20

30:50like my lady patients
30:59come on, where are we?
31:00where are we?
31:13can I help you?
31:14I'm Carl Savage's mum
31:16is he here because if he's not
31:17Carl Savage?
31:19I've just checked every member of his class for headlace
31:21including him
31:22oh thank god
31:24do you want to go in and speak with him?
31:27Gwen, what's happened?
31:28I couldn't wake up this morning
31:30Carl took himself to school
31:32it's the worst I've ever felt
31:34what's this on your face Gwen?
31:36it's like this all the time
31:38I cover it with pan stick usually
31:39you waiting for your wife?
31:51my husband says he can't stand the smell of this place
31:54drops me at the door and waits in the pub
31:56Mr Bianchi?
31:58is this ever itchy? or sore?
32:00no
32:02and it's never all blisters like the one on my back
32:04it's more like a sunburn
32:06you've been covering it up with pan stick
32:07because it's such a strange shape
32:08like a butterfly
32:09that herpes gladiatorum on your back
32:10was a complete red herring
32:11this is what leads us to your diagnosis
32:13have you ever heard of a condition called lupus?
32:14nobody in your family has ever had it?
32:15or mentioned it?
32:16no
32:17do you think that's what I've got?
32:18no
32:19do you think that's what I've got?
32:20no
32:21no
32:22no
32:23no
32:24no
32:25and it's never all blisters like the one on my back
32:26it's more like a sunburn
32:27you've been covering it up with pan stick
32:28because it's such a strange shape
32:30like a butterfly
32:32that herpes gladiatorum on your back
32:33was a complete red herring
32:35this is what leads us to your diagnosis
32:38nobody in your family has ever had it?
32:40or mentioned it?
32:41no
32:42do you think that's what I've got?
32:44this rash is so distinctive
32:47I'd put money on it as a diagnosis
32:48how long will it take to get rid of it?
32:51it's going to be about management rather than cure
32:55but I promise you we can get you feeling better
32:59it can't be cured
33:01but I need to win matches again
33:03Gwen
33:04you are too unwell to fight
33:07Tony
33:10thank god
33:11I've been worried sick
33:12how'd it go at the hospital?
33:14it was all fine
33:16your doctor's very pleased with me
33:18oh
33:19really?
33:21so erm
33:22what happens next?
33:23what treatment are they giving you?
33:24so many pills I'll be rattling
33:28the important thing
33:30is that you are getting some rest
33:33not worrying yourself silly
33:34I'm not now
33:35I've heard your voice
33:36I love your voice
33:37I hardly ever get to talk on the phone
33:39ha
33:42because we're together all the time
33:44and we'll be together again
33:46soon
33:47Tony
33:48Tony!
33:49Tony!
33:50we're going down the pub
33:52you're coming
33:53Tony!
33:54Tony!
33:55Tony!
33:56we're going down the pub
34:09you're coming
34:10Tony!
34:11we're going down the pub
34:27let's go
34:32Beryl burrows as I live and breathe.
34:40Do tell me you're en route to a harvest festival with that dreary swag,
34:45because at the very least it would provoke a degree of fellow-feeling in me.
34:48I'm on potato-peeling duty.
34:51There's a rota in the retreat house.
34:53Stop, stop, before you completely break my heart.
34:57I come here almost every day.
34:59Sometimes I have an eclair, and when the fancy takes me,
35:03I have a cream split.
35:05You get a cherry on a cream split,
35:07and there's this little burst of flavour when you bite it.
35:11Tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street too, in broad daylight.
35:15Twice.
35:17Although sometimes it feels as though it's the things I don't do
35:21that tell me more about where I am now or where I might go next.
35:26What don't you do?
35:28I don't pray.
35:30I came here to pray, or at least to decide what I ought to be praying for.
35:36But I can't.
35:38And do you know why?
35:40It's not different enough to the convent, Beryl.
35:43And all the snatched patisserie in the world can't disguise the fact
35:47that you are still living the same sort of half-life, trapped underneath a similar godly bell jar.
35:55And how do you propose to change that?
35:57Come and stay with me.
35:59Geoffrey.
36:01I am still technically a nun. I can't live with a man.
36:07You could lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor.
36:13You've missed two appointments at the hospital, Tony.
36:21Do you have anyone to talk to? Your brothers, perhaps?
36:27I can't.
36:29Not with it being, you know, breast cancer.
36:33It's so humiliating.
36:35I can hear him now.
36:37Your typical Tony.
36:41Doctor Turner and I delivered a baby at the maternity home last week.
36:47And the mother asked if the older brother could come in and meet him.
36:51We placed the baby in his little arms and he was awestruck.
36:57This was his brother.
37:01He promised right then and there to teach him everything he knew.
37:06Older's the best fighting moves.
37:08A cat gun was mentioned.
37:11And something about which jelly babies tasted best.
37:16Green ones.
37:18According to Enzo.
37:21Always gave me the green ones.
37:23Brothers look after each other, Tony.
37:27I've seen it with my own boys.
37:30Right now, she'll be moaning about me.
37:34She'll be looking after Tina.
37:36Doctor Turner says she can come home if you're feeling up to it.
37:40Of course I'm feeling up to it.
37:42Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
37:52I read in the papers that Gem and our people will make it tonight.
37:58Stars will be shining.
38:00My sign is aligning with love.
38:02So come on and make it.
38:03Let's take everything that we've been dreaming of.
38:05Something tells me something's gonna happen to you.
38:08The smile on my face is the smile you will wear in a moment or two.
38:15So get it together, you see.
38:16It's gonna be alright.
38:17Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
38:18You stay in the dressing room tonight.
38:20Promise?
38:21Promise.
38:22Promise.
38:23And if I win, you'll get that bike.
38:24My precious boy.
38:25You stay in the dressing room tonight.
38:26Promise?
38:27Promise.
38:28Promise.
38:29And if I win, you'll get that bike.
38:30My precious boy.
38:31You stay in the dressing room tonight.
38:45Promise?
38:46Promise.
38:47And if I win, you'll get that bike.
38:51My precious boy.
38:52You keeping up with those peppermints, child?
39:17I'm first on call tonight and I still feel quite queasy.
39:21But it's not just in the morning.
39:23Maybe the pill itself doesn't agree with me.
39:27I popped into the surgery when no-one was there to check on your results.
39:32I think we need to have a talk.
39:40I can't seem to get comfortable.
39:43My back is killing me.
39:46Tony, the sheets are wet.
39:47Do you think your walls are broken?
39:48I thought they'd be more of a whoosh.
39:49Oh, I don't feel right, Tony.
39:50Oh.
39:51Hi.
39:52Hi.
39:53Hi.
39:54Hi.
39:55Hi.
39:56Hi.
39:57Hi.
39:58Hi.
39:59Hi.
40:00Hi.
40:01Hi.
40:02Hi.
40:03Hi.
40:04Hi.
40:05Hi.
40:06Hi.
40:07Hi.
40:08Hi.
40:09Hi.
40:10Hi.
40:11Hi.
40:12Hi.
40:13Hi.
40:14Hi.
40:15Hi.
40:16Hi.
40:17Hi.
40:18Hi.
40:19Hi.
40:20Hi.
40:21Hi.
40:22Hi.
40:23Hi.
40:24and I hardly speak to them as it is because they don't approve of Cyril.
40:27What? I approve of Cyril.
40:29He is a good man and he will support you,
40:32whatever you choose to do.
40:34Choose to do?
40:36Joyce, I'm not even going to consider an abortion.
40:40That's why it's so hard.
40:43That's why I'm going to get the sack.
40:46Talk to Cyril.
40:48You've got time before you have to tell anybody else
40:51and I will cover for you in any way I can.
40:59You have enough of peppermint and wash your face.
41:09Gentlemen, please take your seats
41:11for tonight's teeny-meaning steamy bikini extravaganza of a fight.
41:15Nenata's house, midwife speaking.
41:21I'm ringing up about Tina Bianchi.
41:23We think she's gone into labour.
41:25I've been timing them for two minutes apart.
41:27Rosalyn?
41:31Rosalyn, come quickly.
41:33Fifteen, twenty.
41:35As promised.
41:37Put on a good show for the gents, were you girls?
41:41They like a bit of hair pulling.
41:43Hair pulling's an illegal move.
41:45It's not an illegal game, though, is it, Gwen?
41:49Who's going to complain?
41:51Don't do this, Gwen. Please.
41:53What are you doing here?
41:54You're putting yourself in real danger if you fight tonight.
41:56Your body is severely weakened from lupus
41:59and your chances of getting injured are high.
42:01And what would Carl do then?
42:02Look, if you're not going to fight,
42:04you can hand that money back right now.
42:06Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross.
42:08He's living with the gents of all the murders.
42:09He's living in the water.
42:10I'm suffering from mercifulشemia.
42:11pathic 원래, salah, mare, mare, mare, mare, mare.
42:12overee, severe, aerosol.
42:16jalcede bitch, volsol
42:31A midwife is on her way, and I'm going to stay with you on the end of this phone until she gets there.
42:39She keeps saying she wants to push.
42:44Tell her to blow. Tell her to blow as if she is blowing out candles.
42:48Tina, don't push. Blow. Blow.
42:52Blow.
42:54Yeah, that's it. Do it with me.
43:01Oi, oi, oi, oi.
43:06You punched her. I said no punch.
43:14June!
43:21Do you want to tap? Do you want to give up?
43:24Tony, I need you to describe exactly what you can see.
43:28I don't know what I can see.
43:31I think it might be the baby's egg.
43:39What?
43:40Oh, wow!
43:46No!
43:49What?
43:50Go!
43:52Oh!
43:53Can you hear me?
44:12Gwen?
44:13Gwen?
44:15Call for an ambulance.
44:17Quickly!
44:17Mr. Bianchi, you need to get ready to deliver this baby yourself, but you must not hang
44:26up.
44:27Do you hear me?
44:29Oh, I can see, I can see the egg, it's sort of moving around, I can see its face.
44:46Good!
44:47Now, very gently place your hands under its head, wait for the next big contraction, and
44:52guide the body out.
44:53Don't pull.
44:54There's something blue wrapped around its neck, is that supposed to be there?
44:58It's the cord.
44:59All you have to do is slip your finger underneath it and lift it over the baby's head.
45:04It should slide off quite easily.
45:05Have you managed to move it?
45:10It works.
45:11It's off.
45:12It's off.
45:13It's off.
45:14It's off.
45:15It's off!
45:30It's a boy, Tina.
45:37You've got a little boy.
45:45You did it, Tony. You delivered our son.
46:01Just looking.
46:06Well, someone was in a hurry to get into the world.
46:11Wait till we tell all your uncles about this.
46:15There she is.
46:21There's my boy.
46:26You were lucky you didn't cause any more damage to your body.
46:29At least I got the rent money out of it.
46:32Gwen, the hospital are asking who will be looking after Carl whilst you're in here.
46:36They're willing to talk to social services.
46:38I bet they are. Social services will take him off me.
46:41I'm sure that isn't the case.
46:44But Gwen, you're treading a dangerous path in London.
46:48Even if your health allowed you to keep on fighting.
46:52There are alternatives.
46:55Just as there's alternatives to keeping your money in a cushion cover.
46:58And are you going to tell me what they are?
47:02Because I'd listen to you.
47:04You've told me you know what it is to find things hard.
47:06Another one for the footy team. A striker.
47:16My turn now. My turn.
47:18Oh, be careful.
47:19Be careful.
47:24Mrs. Turner's just helping Tina to freshen up.
47:27And then Master Bianchi needs to have his lunch.
47:30The Neo Papa did a good job on his own then, Doctor.
47:33Not many people could deliver their own son single-handed.
47:37But Tony did.
47:39This man.
47:41He's a proper man.
47:44He certainly is.
47:46And I salute him.
47:48APPLAUSE
47:50Bravo!
47:57Let's...
48:01Something's come up...
48:03that I'm...
48:06not going to be able to do single-handed.
48:12I've got cancer.
48:15Brisk cancer.
48:31Oh.
48:33Tony.
48:36I wish Mumma was here.
48:41No.
48:42You are the best of us, little brother.
48:56And we...
48:58will not let you go.
48:59I spoke to the surgery, Gwen.
49:15All your records will be sent to the New York Times.
49:17we found for you up north.
49:19Thanks, Nurse.
49:21I've got to start looking after myself now, haven't I?
49:23She's not going to be a russer any more.
49:25I know.
49:27Would you like a hand putting that in the van?
49:29Or are you planning on pedalling all the way to Blackpool?
49:31Thanks, Nurse.
49:32And thanks for the advice.
49:33It's like a bold move, taking a job in a gym.
49:34Training other women.
49:35But it's legal in Lancashire, Gwen.
49:36And you won't be exploited.
49:38And you won't be exploited.
49:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
49:46And thanks for the advice.
49:51It's like a bold move, taking a job in a gym.
49:55Training other women.
49:57But it's legal in Lancashire, Gwen.
50:00And you won't be exploited.
50:02It will give your body time to recover.
50:04And my dad would like it.
50:06Good old Lamb of Panther in his contacts.
50:15Oh, I came home from a lunch hour.
50:40Want to go for a walk?
50:41No.
50:43I'm afraid I don't.
50:45It seems you made a decent fist at moving your weekly clinic onto hospital premises.
50:50Yes.
50:52There was some grumbling from patients about bus fares, but I think we're on an even keel.
50:58Good.
50:59Because speaking scientist to scientist, and to paraphrase our friend Charles Darwin,
51:04it is not necessarily the strongest or most intelligent of any given species that survives.
51:10It's the one most adaptable to change.
51:13I know that.
51:15And I know I can't look after my patients properly if I don't today.
51:18A very good attitude to have.
51:21Which is why we're placing you front and centre of our plans.
51:26And closing you down.
51:32Closing us down?
51:33Not as a GP, although you'll probably want to join forces with someone else now.
51:38There are real incentives for group practices.
51:42But the council are not going to renew the licence for the maternity home.
51:46But the licence runs out in a matter of weeks.
51:52It's always been renewed as a formality.
51:56This is the brave new world, Turner.
51:58There is no always anymore.
52:01There isn't even an always for me.
52:03The council will have to hand everything over to the National Health.
52:05But while you still have power, you're doing this.
52:10To us and to Nanata's house.
52:13Nanata's house.
52:15They were forever outliers.
52:18And eccentric.
52:20Threpwood.
52:21What is the logic in all of this?
52:25How is it going to benefit the patients?
52:27I knew you'd say that.
52:29And it's why we chose to put you at the vanguard.
52:33No matter what goes on somewhere far away in the offices of Whitehall,
52:37there will always be patients.
52:42And you say that as though it's a problem.
52:44I'm so sorry, Cyril.
52:51You wanted to take responsibility, but I was absolutely certain that nothing could be better than this magnificent wonder drug that gave me control over my own body.
53:02We both agreed it was what we wanted.
53:04That it would let us have other things we wanted.
53:08And wanted very much.
53:09We just didn't want this, did we?
53:14I think that it's something that has happened a little out of order.
53:21But I wouldn't have taken you to bed if I didn't mean to marry you.
53:26And I always meant to marry you.
53:29And build a life with you.
53:30And building a life with you means more than just rings and mortgages and bricks and mortar.
53:40Did you ever close your eyes and try to see our children?
53:45I see our children every day with my eyes wide open.
53:52I see them crossing the street in Poplar or swinging on the swing down at the wreck.
53:58And I think, we could have a little boy like that one.
54:02Or that little girl has a smile like hers.
54:11I thought I would have to be patient.
54:13And I'm not very good at being patient.
54:16I would not say patience has been our distinguishing characteristic.
54:21And now it doesn't have to be.
54:24And now it doesn't have to be.
54:25It doesn't have to be.
54:29Come on, get that out!
