00:00Very well, we shall do the tests again.
00:03The level of disregard for the comfort and convenience of an elderly patient is unforgivable.
00:11I don't know what that ice cream van's doing.
00:14Mrs. Bianchi's having some strong peers.
00:17We're going to get her settled and take a look at her.
00:19Oh, they're lasting a minute each.
00:21And how often are they coming?
00:24Well, I don't know.
00:26Am I meant to write them all down?
00:27Is that by any chance your ice cream van parked outside, Mr. Bianchi?
00:31Yes, it is.
00:32I only got it last summer. Best ice cream in Poplar. Guaranteed.
00:36I'm sure it is, but at the present moment we're more interested in delivering babies than ice cream.
00:42Would you mind turning off the music?
00:45Oh, sorry.
00:54What do you want me to do with these then?
00:57OK.
00:58I'll take the run of beans. We can have those with the chops I've planned.
01:03Everything else can go to the harvest festival.
01:06What?
01:07Even the marrows?
01:08They would have won first prize in the multicultural show if I'd have been ready in time.
01:12They're bigger than toddlers' legs, Fred.
01:15And I haven't the time to be stuffing them with mince and making a white sauce.
01:19I'll take them to the nurse house then.
01:23The children will march from there to the church in a procession.
01:28Your produce will be widely admired.
01:31You're not in labour just yet, honey.
01:35These are just what we call Braxton Hicks contractions.
01:38It's your buddy rehearsing for the routine.
01:41I feel a bit of a fool now.
01:43And it's taking Tony away from his van.
01:45That van's our whole livelihood now I've stopped working.
01:47Have I missed it?
01:49It's all right.
01:50You're safe.
01:51It was a false alarm.
01:56Good job you never told no one.
01:58I'll get me leg pulled for something rotten.
02:04Is there anything you need taking to the post office, sister?
02:07I'm rather more concerned about a letter I took to the post office two weeks ago.
02:11The one you wrote to the Board of Health?
02:13Yes.
02:14Telling them we would close Nunnata's house if we were no longer allowed to work as Christian missionaries.
02:21I expected a response from them at the very least.
02:24It's entirely likely that they're playing games.
02:26Keeping you waiting because you kept them waiting.
02:29One would hope they were above such pettiness when there is so much at stake.
02:34Come on, let's go, Mateo.
02:41Come on, this way.
02:43Idiot!
02:44You took her in too early.
02:45Hey, bruv, you coming to football tonight?
02:47I don't know, Mateo.
02:49I'm not really in the mood.
02:51You stop coming to football, you stop coming swimming.
02:53You need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
02:56Come on, let's go.
02:57You got everything?
02:58See ya, let's go.
02:59See ya, baby brother.
03:00You got the bag?
03:01Come on, let's go.
03:02I do not have unlimited quantities of copacular matter in my veins.
03:10Sister, you're a nurse.
03:13You know as well as I do that blood replenishes itself.
03:17And we need to get to the bottom of what ails you.
03:21We all know what ails me.
03:23I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
03:29Sister, I have five minutes before I leave on my rounds.
03:34Would you like me to move the television into your room?
03:37Do you suppose I'm at the point of expiry?
03:40There is no reason to treat me as an invalid.
03:44As the analysis of my blood will testify.
03:53Ladies and gentlemen, the doors to tonight's wrestling in the main hall will open in five minutes.
03:59I've learned so much about deferment since I gave up drink.
04:24I've learned you can bear anything if you pretend it's forever.
04:30I can postpone.
04:32I can wait.
04:34But putting things off until tomorrow doesn't always work.
04:38Because what if tomorrow never comes?
04:42I've been postponing a decision for a long time now.
04:50Come on!
04:51Come on!
04:52Yeah!
04:57In three!
04:59In three!
05:01Out!
05:02Winger Bands!
05:02Winger Bands!
05:04Come on!
05:05It's all right, love?
05:08Harmony?
05:08It's not a decision about drink.
05:13It's a decision about work.
05:16And work is my other addiction.
05:20Is there a doctor in here?
05:21Anyone?
05:22I'm a nurse.
05:24That'll do.
05:24It's a concussion.
05:28You're staging sporting events.
05:29You're legally obliged to have medical help on the premises.
05:33I don't know nothing about no legal obligations.
05:35Um, this is her.
05:36Harmony Savage.
05:38Hello, Harmony.
05:39I'm a nurse.
05:41I'm sorry you've been hurt.
05:43Occupationalisers.
05:44Did you lose consciousness?
05:46Or did you remain aware of your surroundings?
05:47I never went out.
05:48I was just putting on a bit of a show.
05:52Punters like it.
05:54I've got to go back out.
05:55Finish your job.
05:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:57You were out cold.
05:58I did the count, but it's over.
06:01Brenda the butcher won fair and square.
06:06You'll have gone to give her the prize money.
06:08If you can't be absolutely sure that you weren't knocked out, I really think you ought to go to the casualty department.
06:17I'm going to go home to bed.
06:20Oh, hello, sweetie.
06:25Who's this?
06:26Carl, my boy.
06:28He comes to all my fights.
06:31Come on.
06:32Let's pack up and get you in the van.
06:34You really must not drive after blacking out.
06:37However, briefly.
06:39Any better ideas?
06:42I know it was a false alarm to that heap, but it made me think how real all this is.
06:52How we've made a proper grown-up life.
06:56You do go on.
06:59It's like being the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder.
07:03No, it wasn't that.
07:04It was being the one who was no good at all the things the others did.
07:10It's not your fault you weren't cut out for the tiling trade.
07:13Besides, I'd rather have a bit of soft scoop than a hundred yards of mosaic flooring.
07:21Come on, light's up.
07:23What's that?
07:24Oh, nothing.
07:26Tony, there's blood on your singlet.
07:28What is it?
07:29What is it?
07:30Show me.
07:36Ooh.
07:37How long have you had this?
07:39Oh, wow.
07:42I'll put the plaster on it.
07:44You will not.
07:46In the morning, I'm ringing the doctor.
07:47Out, get it.
08:03Wrestling was all I knew, even as a little girl.
08:06My dad was burnt savage.
08:08Lamb of pamphlet.
08:09God rest him.
08:11I used to watch him every time he fought.
08:12It's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps.
08:14It would be even more wonderful if it were legal.
08:17There's a whole ladies' circuit up north, just as legitimate as the men's,
08:19but in London, we're outlaws.
08:22I really would like you to be seen by a doctor if at all possible, Harmony.
08:26Oh, my real name's Gwen.
08:29Thanks for seeing us home.
08:32Come on, little in.
08:33I've given up to doing sports and everything.
08:49It's so unsightly.
08:53I'll probably just bang it.
08:54It looks like a sebaceous cyst to me.
09:02Antibiotics will take the edge off it, but I think it needs to be removed.
09:06Oh, I've got a baby to any day.
09:09All the more reason to get it out of the way.
09:12I'll call St Cuthbert's myself.
09:14Now, that is a bird's song I can easily identify.
09:29The lesser spotted buckle.
09:32Ah, sister, how are you keeping?
09:34I'm keeping on.
09:36If a little more desiccated, with every week the passes.
09:43Perhaps I should not linger,
09:46lest you sweep me up with all the other dead leaves.
09:50I've got a bag of doughnuts in my shed.
09:53Will they cheer you up a bit?
09:54Are they jam-filled?
09:56No, they're the ones with the holes in.
09:58Then I will forego them.
09:59Do you detect a chill in the breeze today?
10:03I reckon I felt the first nip.
10:06Oh, I like it when the seasons start to turn, though.
10:10That time of year the maced in me behold
10:13When yellow leaves, or none or few
10:16Do hang upon those boughs that shake with cold
10:22Bare ruined choirs
10:26Where late the sweet birds sang
10:29In me thou seest the twilight of such day
10:35As after sunset fadeth in the west
10:39Which by and by, like night, doth take away
10:45Their second self
10:46That seals up all in rest
10:51Sister Monica Tone
11:08What's brought this on?
11:11Time, Mr. Buckle
11:16Its passage and its sheer
11:19Weary accumulation
11:22Would you like a cup of tea?
11:27If you will sit and take one with me
11:30Well, Miss Savage
11:41I'm not seeing anything that needs further tests
11:43Any other bumps or bruises you'd like me to look at?
11:47I've got a rash
11:48Cutes coming up sort of on the back of my shoulder
11:50If you just slip your blouse off, dear
11:55I don't believe I've ever met a lady wrestler before
11:58I imagine it's quite physically taxing
12:02I call over sometimes
12:04Fight or no fight
12:05I think I know what this is
12:17It's a skin virus called herpes gladiatorum
12:22Gladiator, like in Spartacus
12:24I love a bit of Kirk Douglas
12:26Don't be yours
12:27I'm afraid this comes from grazing your skin on grubby canvas in the ring
12:32Your best bet is to wash it daily with medicated soap
12:36And bathe the blisters in salt water
12:39Can I do that with my hips and my knees?
12:41Do you have a rash there as well?
12:43No, we just hurt all the time
12:44Miss Savage, are you able to take a break from your work for a while?
12:49No
12:49I've got mouths to feed
12:50Mine and my little boys
12:53I've been looking forward to this moment all day
13:01I popped on a market and bought myself a new pair of slippers for the winter
13:06I never knew you could love a bit of sheepskin on your feet
13:13Till I came to live in England
13:15Me neither
13:16I'm sorry, child
13:18You're all wrapped up in something?
13:22I'm trying to work out exactly when I started taking a pill
13:25Calculated against the number of actual pills you have to take before it protects you
13:30And why is that?
13:32I've never missed a single one
13:34I'm wondering if it's thrown my hormones out of whack
13:38I mean, it can do that, can't it?
13:41Child, the whole point of the pill is to throw your hormones out of whack
13:44That's how it stops you getting pregnant
13:46Are you late?
13:51I've been late before
13:52And things just sort of corrected themselves
13:57That would have been before you had a boyfriend
14:00Do you think you need to do a test?
14:04No
14:05Not yet
14:07Do you want to tap? Do you want to give up?
14:15He's short
14:16Yes
14:19Yes
14:24Yes
14:25No
14:25Referee, she can't do that
14:28Yes
14:30Yes
14:31Hey, hey
14:32Yes, she's our close-basket
14:34No
14:39Good
14:40And ladies and gentlemen
14:42The winner is
14:44Demolition Debbie
15:02Are you feeling sick?
15:07This is not good, honey
15:08But we're going to do a test
15:10I'll help you
15:12I don't want anyone to know
15:14They won't
15:15My name is Higgins
15:20Have the samples gone off to the laboratory, yeah?
15:22They will be dispatched very shortly
15:24But if you wish to add any to the list
15:26I'm afraid you must see to the paperwork yourself
15:29Nurse?
15:31Good morning, Gwen
15:46Dr Turner remembered an iodine preparation he thought might help with your skin condition
15:51I told him I'd drop it off
15:53Have you been in another fight?
15:56Yes
15:57And I didn't win that one either
16:05It's a good stay old chap
16:06I overslept again
16:08I don't like going in late because it gets told off
16:10I imagine you're exhausted after a match
16:13I'm always exhausted but
16:15I'm a mum, aren't I?
16:16And it's just me
16:18I weren't tired
16:19Me and I were slacking
16:20I'm a stepmother
16:22To a little boy of Carl's age
16:24That certainly keeps one on one's toes
16:26I hope he talks like you do
16:28You've got a lovely way of putting things
16:30Can I make you a cuppa?
16:33A cuppa would actually be extremely welcome
16:36But I should be making you one
16:38I'm sorry, I'll have to get out
16:55That's all I've got this time
16:57I'll give you the full amount next week
16:59I've heard that before
17:01And more than once
17:03I am not a charity
17:05Now there ain't nothing in here but feathers
17:12I'm officially skint
17:14Do you keep your money in a cushion cover?
17:16I don't trust banks
17:18At least that's where I know my money is
17:20Even when I've got none
17:22Sorry, I've gone all dizzy
17:26Mr. Bianchi
17:30I'm Mr. Penn Warden
17:32I'll be removing this cyst for you
17:34Do you mind if I take a look?
17:44Don't want to go hacking away on the wrong side
17:52Hmm
17:53Could just drain this
17:54But I'm leaning on the side of getting the whole thing out
17:57Your bloods may come back perfectly normal
18:04But I strongly suspect that if you'd have almost passed out in front of Dr. Turner
18:09He'd want to check your iron levels
18:11Maybe I just need a tonic
18:13Maybe you do
18:15I just think that as another woman who's often had to stand on her own two feet
18:19You need to be in better condition than this
18:22Are you on your own with your kiddie?
18:25No
18:26But I was very much on my own for a long time
18:29Before he and his father came into my life
18:31And I know what it feels like to be fighting an invisible opponent
18:36I fight invisible ones and all
18:38And I've no doubt you're extremely good at it
18:41But you need someone more than a wrestling promoter in your corner
18:45Let us help find out what's causing your malaise
18:50Nurse Clifford's gone out to the cinema
18:52But Nurse Ireland says we can have the box
18:54Her new slippers came in
18:56Could there be a more perfect showcase for nature's bounty?
19:00Oh!
19:01We can do a lot with ribbon and crepe paper
19:04And that's before we start tying bows round marrows
19:06Oh!
19:07These lamentable scissors
19:09They wouldn't cut butter
19:11Shall I see if I can find a sharper pair?
19:13What we really need is Sister Veronica and her magic pinking shears
19:18How long has she gone to the mother house for?
19:21A lengthy retreat
19:24I wasn't allowed to ask
19:26It's her private spiritual business
19:28Do you suppose she took her pinking shears?
19:31I would settle for her implements if we can't have her
19:58What was Sister Monica Joan?
20:03I was hoping it was something that could be treated
20:07But chronic kidney disease is just
20:10Something that takes old people gently but kindly
20:14But it takes them
20:16How long has she been ill with this?
20:19I suspect not long
20:21How long does she have?
20:24The same
20:27Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is
20:32She'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly
20:36Till that day comes
20:40We'll just have to love her as we always have
20:43But a bit more carefully
20:46You look happy
20:53Today is a happy day
20:55I got a letter from the solicitor
20:59The decree absolute
21:01I'm officially a single man
21:03Everything we do now is ours
21:07Our choice to make
21:09The Board of Health requested a meeting
21:12I told them your diary was full
21:14But they were most insistent
21:16It's in your diary for Friday
21:18Thank you
21:19I anticipate the usual fun and games
21:22I need to see Anthony Bianchi
21:25I've just had his histopathology results through from the hospital
21:29Should I make an appointment for him?
21:31No, I'll call in on him today
21:35We told you the truth
21:38Sister Veronica is on retreat
21:40You told us she had gone on retreat to the mother house
21:43She would need her cross in the mother house
21:45She would need her shoes
21:47Our sister needed our discretion
21:49And I gave that willingly and with love
21:51I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed
21:54I'm sorry if I have been arrogant in thinking I deserved an explanation
22:03I can't tell you everything
22:06Too much of it is personal to her
22:08But I can say she is struggling with her vows
22:11And has been given leave of absence for a while
22:14She's staying at the Oliver Christian Retreat Centre at Gravesend
22:19Alone?
22:21Without anyone she knows
22:25Or any friends to support her
22:28Sister
22:30Out of all of us
22:32Sister Veronica emits the most love
22:35She needs the most love
22:37She does not know what she needs or wants
22:40And that is why she has had to go away
22:48Morning
22:49Have you come to see Tina?
22:52Mr. Bianchi
22:54We've come to see you
22:59I can't have breast cancer
23:03It's a women's disease
23:04We know all about that because his mum died of it
23:09I know
23:10She was a lovely lady
23:14And even in the five years since she passed away
23:17We've learned so much about it
23:21I can't have it
23:24I'm a man
23:25It is rare in men
23:27Especially for someone of your age
23:29But it's not unheard of
23:31Everyone has breast tissue Tony
23:33Men and women
23:36We have less of it
23:37But it only takes a couple of cells to go rogue
23:42And a tumour can start to develop
23:45I have had some specialist training
23:48And there are new treatments and new approaches to surgery
23:52Should I have done something sooner when I first felt the lump?
24:05We are going to focus on the future now Tony
24:09And we are going to be with you every step of the way
24:12I don't care whereabouts in your body it is
24:19You've got the big seat
24:20We have to face up to it
24:22We can face up to it together
24:25Without telling people
24:27What is that going to achieve Tony?
24:30You need help
24:32You need love
24:34Tina
24:37I need
24:39Dignity
24:42You need to feel like a man
24:46There is a bike for sale
24:52Maybe for your birthday
24:53Eh?
24:55If you win your next fight
25:05Yes?
25:07Doctor
25:09Gwen Savage's records arrived from her previous practice
25:12She's been suffering with tiredness and joint pain for five years
25:16Did the blood test we did show anything?
25:19Nothing at all conclusive
25:21Just markers for minor inflammation
25:25Slightly low white blood count
25:27Could the pain relate to the wrestling?
25:30I saw her in the ring and it's incredibly physical
25:33But an impact injury would be on one side, not both
25:36It's as though we're missing something
25:40I never liked that
25:42They said those Braxton Hicks pains was my body tuning up for the baby to be born
25:48I got used to them but they've got worse since I found out Tony isn't well
25:52You've an immense amount to contend with at the moment
25:56But baby's head is engaged Tina
25:59I really don't think you'll have very long to wait
26:02Oh, this reading is just a little bit higher than I'd like
26:08We can't have anything else go wrong
26:10Nothing's going to go wrong
26:12But I do want you to come over to the maternity home with me
26:16So Dr. Turner can take a look at you
26:32Any chance of a 99?
26:33I've an elderly friend might like a bit of a pick-ne-up
26:37What's the matter pal?
26:43Brian!
26:47You ain't put me down for a single match
26:50I can't afford to promote wrestlers who keep losing
26:54I can raise my game
26:56My dad used to say, aim up, things will look up
26:59Your dad was one of the best I ever was
27:01The Lamb of Panther was revered
27:03Look, all I can offer you right now is the adult fixtures
27:08Oh no, no, adult fixtures is one step away from stripping Brian
27:12I keep it clean
27:14It's a place down Deptford where they roll about in jelly
27:17Girls earn 30 quid about
27:1930 quid?
27:21I pay 20
27:24Bring your own bikini
27:28Usually Tina reads stuff for me but
27:38I don't want to worry all this
27:40There's going to be further surgery
27:42And
27:44A radiography assessment
27:51I'm going to have to stop working
27:53It won't be for long
27:55You've got a family to support you
27:56I don't need to support you
27:58I've only just proved to him that I'm a man
28:00I'm making a go of the van, earning my own living
28:03And now I've got a woman's disease
28:06And I can't provide it
28:10I'm telling them nothing
28:15PHONE RINGS
28:19Geoffrey Franklin?
28:20Mr Franklin, it's Sister Catherine from Ninata's house

28:58You'll tell your brothers
29:00I promise
29:02You'll need to take these diuretics first thing in the morning
29:03As you don't want to be up all hours of the night
29:04We can bring the commode into your room
29:06The commode will not be entertained
29:08You may come to revise that opinion
29:10Your tone is brisk
29:25Given that my days are numbered
29:27Everybody's days are numbered, Sister
29:29Mine as well as yours
29:31One way and another
29:33But you may be going on for quite a long time
29:37Possibly feeling slightly better than you have done
29:40Given that we know what ails you now
29:43Maybe I do not care to go on for
29:45But you may be going on for quite a long time
29:48Possibly feeling slightly better than you have done
29:50Given that we know what ails you now
29:52Maybe I do not care to go on for
29:54Quite a long time
29:58Let's see how we do, shall we?
30:01With these diuretics

32:24no and it's never all blisters like the one on my back it's more like a sunburn
32:29you've been covering it up with pan stick because it's such a strange shape
32:33like a butterfly
32:35that herpes gladiatorum on your back was a complete red herring
32:41this is what leads us to your diagnosis have you ever heard of a condition called lupus
32:48nobody in your family's ever had it or mentioned it
32:52no do you think that's what i've got
32:54this rash is so distinctive i'd put money on it as a diagnosis

34:46and i'll be happy to hear your voice as i live and breathe
34:51do tell me you're on route to a harvest festival with that dreary swag
34:56because at the very least it would provoke a degree of fellow feeling in me
34:59i'm on potato peeling duty

35:03i'll stop stop before you completely break my heart
35:08come here almost every day

35:23tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street too
35:25in broad daylight

35:35or where i might go next
35:37what don't you do
35:40i don't pray

35:44or at least to decide what i ought to be praying for
35:48but i can't
35:49and do you know why
35:51it's not different enough to the convent beryl
35:54and all the snatched patisserie in the world can't disguise the fact
35:58that you are still living the same sort of half-life
36:01trapped underneath a similar godly bell jar

43:55oh
44:03Can you hear me?
44:22Gwen?
44:23Gwen?
44:25Call for an ambulance.
44:27Quickly!
44:31Mr. Bianchi,
44:32you need to get ready to deliver this baby yourself.
44:35But you must not hang up.
44:37Do you hear me?
44:48Oh, I can see.
44:50I can see the egg.
44:52It's sort of moving around.
44:55I can see its face.
44:56Good.
44:57Now, very gently,
44:58place your hands under its head.
45:00Wait for the next big contraction.
45:02And guide the body out.
45:04Don't pull.
45:05There's something blue wrapped around its neck.
45:07Is that supposed to be there?
45:08It's the cord.
45:09All you have to do
45:10is slip your finger underneath it
45:12and lift it over the baby's head.
45:14It should slide off quite easily.
45:22Have you managed to move it?
45:25It works.
45:26It's off.
45:26It's a boy, Tia.
45:46It's a boy.
45:48It's a boy.
45:48It's a boy.
45:48It's a boy.
45:48You did it, Tony.
46:09You delivered our son.
46:11I'm just looking.
46:17Well,
46:18someone was in a hurry
46:19to get into the world.
46:22Wait till we tell
46:23all your uncles about this.
46:30There's...
46:31There's my boy.
46:33You were lucky you didn't cause
46:39any more damage to your body.
46:40At least I got the rent money out of it.
46:43Gwen, the hospital are asking
46:44who will be looking after Carl
46:45whilst you're in here.
46:47They're willing to talk to social services.
46:48I bet they are.
46:50Social services will take him off me.
46:52I'm sure that isn't the case.
46:54But, Gwen,
46:55you're treading a dangerous path in London
46:58even if your health
47:00allowed you to keep on fighting.
47:03There are alternatives.
47:05Just as there's
47:06alternatives to keeping your money
47:08in a cushion cover.
47:09And are you going to tell me what they are?
47:12Cos I'd listen to you.
47:15You've told me you know what it is
47:16to find things hard.
47:18Another one for the footy team.
47:26A striker.
47:27My turn now.
47:28My turn.
47:29Oh, careful.
47:30Oh, thank you.
47:30Oh, thank you.
47:34Mrs. Turner's just helping Tina
47:36to freshen up.
47:37And then Master Bianchi
47:38needs to have his lunch.
47:40The nail papa did a good job
47:42on his own then, Doctor.
47:43Not many people could deliver
47:45their own son single-handed.
47:47But Tony did.
47:48This man,
47:51he's a proper man.
47:54He certainly is.
47:56And I salute him.
47:57Bravo.
47:58Bravo.
48:07Lads.
48:11Something's come up
48:12that I'm
48:15not going to be able
48:17to do single-handed.
48:18I've got cancer.
48:23I've got cancer.
48:23I've got cancer.
48:27Breast cancer.
48:28Breast cancer.
48:42Oh, Tony.
48:46I wish Mama was here.
48:47You are the best of us,
49:04little brother.
49:04And we
49:07will not let you go.
49:10I spoke to the surgery, Gwen.
49:37All your records
49:39will be sent to the new GP
49:40we found for you up north.
49:41Thanks, Nurse.
49:43I've got to start looking
49:44after myself now,
49:45haven't I?
49:46She's not going to be
49:47a wrestler anymore.
49:48I know.
49:50Would you like a hand
49:51putting that in the van?
49:52Or are you planning on
49:53peddling all the way
49:54to Blackpool?
49:55Thanks, Nurse.
50:00And thanks for the advice.
50:02It was like a bold move
50:04taking a job in a gym,
50:05training other women.
50:08But it's legal
50:09in Lancashire, Gwen,
50:10and you won't be exploited.
50:12It will give your body
50:13time to recover.
50:15And my dad would like it.
50:16Good old Lamb of Panther
50:18and his contacts.
50:18Oh,
50:48I came home
50:49from a lunch hour.
50:50Do you want to go
50:50for a walk?
50:51No.
50:53I'm afraid I don't.
50:55It seems
50:56you've made
50:57a decent fist
50:58at moving
50:59your weekly clinic
51:00onto hospital premises.
51:01Yes.
51:02There was some
51:04grumbling
51:04from patients
51:05about bus fares,
51:06but I think
51:07we're on an even keel.
51:08Good.
51:10Because speaking
51:10scientist to scientist,
51:12and to paraphrase
51:13our friend Charles Darwin,
51:15it is not necessarily
51:16the strongest
51:16or most intelligent
51:18of any given species
51:19that survives.
51:20It's the one
51:21most adaptable
51:22to change.
51:23I know that.
51:25And I know
51:26I can't look after
51:27my patients properly
51:28if I don't adapt.
51:29A very good attitude
51:30to have.
51:32Which is why
51:33we're placing you
51:34front and centre
51:35of our plans.
51:37And closing you down.
51:38Closing us down?
51:44Not as a GP,
51:46although you'll probably
51:47want to join forces
51:48with someone else now.
51:49There are real incentives
51:50for group practices,
51:52but the council
51:54are not going to renew
51:55the licence
51:55for the maternity home.
51:58But the licence
52:00runs out
52:01in a matter of weeks.
52:04It's always been renewed
52:05as a formality.
52:06This is the brave
52:08new world, Turner.
52:09There is no
52:10always anymore.
52:11There isn't even
52:12an always for me.
52:14The council will have
52:14to hand everything
52:15over to the National Health.
52:17But why do you
52:18still have power
52:18here doing this?
52:20To us
52:21and to
52:22Ninata's house?
52:24Ninata's house.
52:26They were forever
52:27outliers
52:28and
52:29eccentric.
52:31Threpwood,
52:32what is the logic
52:33in all of this?
52:34How is it going
52:36to benefit
52:37the patients?
52:38I knew you'd say that
52:39and it's why we chose
52:41to put you
52:41at the vanguard.
52:44No matter what
52:44goes on somewhere
52:45far away
52:46in the offices
52:46of Whitehall,
52:47there will always
52:48be patients.
52:52And you say that
52:53as though it's a problem.
52:54I'm so sorry, Cyril.
53:02You wanted to take
53:03responsibility,
53:04but
53:04I was absolutely
53:06certain that
53:07nothing could be better
53:08than this
53:08magnificent wonder drug
53:10that gave me control
53:11over my own body.
53:12We both agreed
53:13it was what we wanted.
53:15That it would let us
53:16have other things
53:17we wanted.
53:19And wanted very much.
53:20We just didn't want
53:23this,
53:24did we?
53:26I think
53:27that it's something
53:29that has happened
53:30a little out of order.
53:33But I wouldn't have
53:34taken you to bed
53:35if I didn't mean
53:35to marry you.
53:37And I always
53:38meant to marry you
53:39and build a life
53:41with you.
53:42And building a life
53:43with you
53:44means more than
53:46just rings
53:46and mortgages
53:48and bricks
53:49and mortar.
53:52Did you ever
53:53close your eyes
53:54and try to see
53:55our children?
53:58I see our children
53:59every day
54:00with my eyes
54:01wide open.
54:03I see them
54:04crossing the street
54:05in Poplar
54:05or swinging on
54:07the swing
54:07down at the wreck.
54:09And I think
54:09we could have
54:12a little boy
54:12like that one.
54:14Or
54:14that little girl
54:16has a smile
54:16like her.
54:21I thought
54:22I'd have to be
54:23patient.
54:24And I'm not
54:25very good
54:25at being patient.
54:28I would not say
54:29patience has been
54:30a distinguishing
54:31characteristic.
54:34And now
54:35it doesn't have
54:35to be.
