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, Mateo.
02:27Come on, let's go, Mateo.
02:28Come on, this way.
02:32Idiot!
02:33You took her in too early.
02:36Hey, brother, you coming to football tonight?
02:38I dunno, Mateo.
02:40I'm not really in the mood.
02:41You stop coming to football, you stop coming swimming,
02:44you need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
02:47Come on, let's go.
02:49You got everything?
02:50Let's go.
02:51See you, baby brother.
02:52You got the bag?
02:53Come on, let's go.
02:55I do not have unlimited quantities of copacular matter in my veins.
03:00Sister, you're a nurse.
03:02You know as well as I do that blood replenishes itself.
03:06And we need to get to the bottom of what ails you.
03:10We all know what ails me.
03:13I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
03:19Sister, I have five minutes before I leave on my rounds.
03:24Would you like me to move the television into your room?
03:26Do you suppose I'm at the point of expiry?
03:30There is no reason to treat me as an invalid.
03:35As the analysis of my blood will testify.
03:39It's a dream for a dozen.
03:40It's a dream for me to go.
03:41You're the positive.
03:42You're the positive.
03:43I'm a good man.
03:44I'm a bad man.
03:45Can you stop saying that?
03:46I'm a bad man.
03:47I'm a bad man.
03:48But no, no.
03:49I'm a bad man.
03:50I'm a bad man.
03:51I've learned so much about deferment since I gave up drink I've learned you can bear
04:16anything if you pretend it's forever I can postpone I can wait but putting things off
04:25until tomorrow doesn't always work because what if tomorrow never comes I've been postponing a
04:36decision for a long time now
04:46it's not a decision about drink it's a decision about work and work is my
05:07other addiction is there a doctor in here anyone I'm a nurse that'll do it's a
05:15concussion
05:17you're staging sporting events you're legally obliged to have medical help on
05:21the premises don't know nothing about no legal obligations and this is her
05:26Harmony Savage hello Harmony I'm a nurse I'm sorry you've
05:31been hurt occupationalizers did you lose consciousness or did you remain aware of
05:36your surroundings I never went out I was just putting on a bit of a show punters

05:50Brenda the butcher won fair and square

06:34made me think how real all this is
06:39how we've made a proper grown-up life
06:44you do go on
06:46it's like me and the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder
06:51no it wasn't that it was being the one who is no good at all the things the others did
06:58it's not your fault you won't cut out for the tiling trade besides I'd rather have a bit of soft scoop than a hundred yards of mosaic flooring
07:09come on lights out
07:12what's that?
07:14nothing
07:15Tony there's blood on your singlet
07:18what is it? show me

07:28whoa
07:30I'll put a plaster on it
07:33you will not
07:35in the morning I'm ringing the doctor
07:37out
07:47out
07:52wrestling was all I knew even as a little girl
07:55my dab was burnt savage lamb of pamper
07:58god rest him
08:00I used to watch him every time he fought
08:02it's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps
08:04it would be even more wonderful if it were legal
08:06there's a whole ladies circuit up north
08:08just as legitimate as the men's
08:09but
08:10in London we're outlaws
08:12I really would like you to be seen by a doctor if at all possible harmony
08:16oh my real name's Gwen
08:18thanks for seeing us home
08:20come a little in
08:22give him love the sports and everything
08:23mmm
08:24hug
08:25he hi
08:26me
08:39don't give him the sports and everything
08:41I probably just banged it.
08:45Oh!
08:47It looks like a sebaceous cyst to me.
08:51Antibiotics will take the edge off it,
08:53but I think it needs to be removed.
08:56Oh, I got a baby till any day.
08:59All the more reason to get it out of the way.
09:02I'll call St Cuthbert's myself.
09:11Now, that is a birdsong I can easily identify.
09:18The lesser spotted buck.
09:21Ah, sister, how are you keeping?
09:24I'm keeping on.
09:26If a little more desiccated with every week the passes,
09:32perhaps I should not linger,
09:35lest you sweep me up with all the other dead leaves.
09:39I've got a bag of doughnuts in my shed.
09:42Would they cheer you up a bit?
09:43Are they jam-filled?
09:45No, they're the ones with the holes in.
09:47Then I will forego them.
09:49Do 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.
09:58That time of year the mast in me behold
10:02When yellow leaves or none or few
10:07Do hang upon those boughs that shake with cold
10:12Bare ruined choirs
10:16Where late the sweet birds sang
10:19In me thou seest the twilight of such day
10:25As after sunset fadeth in the west
10:29Which by and by like night doth take away death's second self
10:36That seals up all in rest
10:41Sister Monica Chone, what's brought this on?
11:00Time, Mr. Buckle
11:05Its passage and its sheer weary accumulation
11:11Would you like a cup of tea?
11:16If you will sit and take one with me
11:19Well, Miss Savage, I'm not seeing anything that needs further tests
11:34Any other bumps or bruises you'd like me to look at?
11:37I've got a rash keeps coming up sort of on the back of my shoulder
11:41If you just slip your blouse off, dear
11:45I don't believe I've ever met a lady wrestler before
11:48Imagine it's quite physically taxing
11:52I call over sometimes, fight 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?
12:14I love a bit of Kirk Douglas
12:15Don't we all listen
12:18I'm afraid this comes from grazing your skin on grubby canvas in the ring
12:22Your best bet is to wash it daily with 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, are you able to take a break from your work for a while?
12:38No, I've got mouths to feed
12:40Mine and my little boys
12:48I'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
13:00I never knew you could love a bit of sheepskin on your feet till I came to live in England
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
13:16Calculated against the number of actual pills you have to take before it protects you
13:20And why is that?
13:22I've never missed a single one
13:24I'm wondering if it's throwing my hormones out of whack
13:28I mean, it can do that, can't it?
13:30Child, the whole point of the pill is to throw your hormones out of whack
13:34That's how it stops you getting pregnant
13:38Are you late?
13:40I've been late before
13:42And things just sort of corrected themselves
13:46That would have been before you had a boyfriend
13:50Do you think you need to do a test?
13:54No
13:56Not yet
14:02Do you want to attack? Do you want to give up?
14:04You're shot
14:16Beverly, she can't do that
14:20Yes!
14:21Hey! Hey! Is that a close miss?
14:22Yes!
14:23Yes!
14:24Hey! Is that a close miss?
14:25No!
14:30Lord, and ladies and gentlemen
14:32The winner is
14:34Demolition Debbie!
14:50Are you feeling sick?
14:55This 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
15:08Morning, Miss 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
15:41I told him I'd drop it off
15:44Have you been in another fight?
15:46Yes
15:47And I didn't win that one either
15:49No school stay, old chap
15:56I overslept again
15:57I don't like going in late cos gets told off
16:00I imagine you're exhausted after a match
16:03I'm always exhausted but
16:04I'm a mum, aren't I?
16:06And it's just me
16:08If I weren't tired, it would mean I was slacking
16:10I'm a stepmother to a little boy of Carl's age
16:14That certainly keeps one on one's toes
16:16I 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
16:31I'm sorry, I'll have to get out
16:33That's all I've got this time, I'll give you the full amount next week
16:49I've heard that before
16:51And more than once
16:52I am not a charity
16:54Now I ain't nothing in here but feathers
17:01I'm officially skint
17:04Do you keep your money in a cushion cover?
17:06I don't trust banks
17:07At least this is where I know my money is
17:09Even when I've got none
17:11Sorry, I've gone dizzy
17:15I'm coming to see
17:19Mr. 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?
17:34Don't want to go hacking away on the wrong side
17:36Hmm
17:42Could just drain this
17:44But I'm leaning on the side of getting the whole thing out
17:53Your bloods may come back perfectly normal
17:55But I strongly suspect that 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
18:04I just think that as another woman who's often had to stand on her own two feet
18:09You need to be in better condition than this
18:13You're on your own with your kiddie?
18:15No
18:16But I was very much on my own for a long time
18:19Before he and his father came into my life
18:22And 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
18:35Let 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
18:45Could there be a more perfect showcase for nature's bounty?
18:49Oh!
18:50We can do a lot with ribbon and crypt paper
18:53And that's before we start tying bows round marrows
18:56Oh!
18:57These lamentable scissors
18:59They wouldn't cut butter
19:00Shall I see if I can find a sharper pair?
19:02What 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
19:14I wasn't allowed to ask
19:16It'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
19:25What was Sister Monica Joan?
19:53I was hoping it was something that could be treated
19:56But chronic kidney disease is just
20:00Something that takes old people gently but kindly
20:03But it takes them
20:05How long has she been ill with this?
20:08I suspect not long
20:10How long does she have?
20:13The same
20:16Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is
20:21She'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly
20:25Till that day comes
20:29We'll just have to love her as we always have
20:32But a bit more carefully
20:35You look happy
20:44Today is a happy day
20:46I got a letter from the solicitor
20:49The decree absolute?
20:51I'm officially a single man
20:54Everything we do now is ours
20:57Our choice to make
20:59The Board of Health requested a meeting
21:02I told them your diary was full
21:04But they were most insistent
21:06It'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, I'll call in on him today
21:26We 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
21:39And I gave that willingly and with love
21:41I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed
21:46I'm sorry if I have been arrogant in terms of
21:50I deserved an explanation
21:54I can't tell you everything
21:55Too much of it is personal to her
21:57But I can say she is struggling with her vows
22:00And has been given leave of absence for a while
22:05She's staying at the Oliver Christian Retreat Centre
22:07At Gravesend
22:10Alone?
22:12Without anyone she knows
22:14Or any friends to support her
22:18Sister
22:19Sister
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
22:38Morning
22:40Have you come to see Tina?
22:42Mr Bianchi
22:43Mr Bianchi
22:44We've come to see you
22:49I can't have breast cancer
22:53It's a women's disease
22:55We know all about that because his mum died of it
22:59I know
23:01She was a lovely lady
23:03And even in the five years since she passed away
23:07We've learned so much about it
23:11I can't have it
23:14I'm a man
23:16It is rare in men
23:17Especially for someone of your age
23:20But it's not unheard of
23:22Everyone has breast tissue Tony
23:24Men and women
23:26We 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?
23:55We are going to focus on the future now Tony
23:58And we are going to be with you every step of the way
24:04I don't care whereabouts in your body it is
24:08You've got the big seat we have to face up to it
24:10We can face up to it together
24:14Without telling people
24:16What is that going to achieve Tony?
24:20You need help
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
24:40Maybe for your birthday, eh?
24:44If you were in your next flight
24:46Thank you
24:54Yes?
24:56Doctor
24:58Gwen Savage's records arrived from her previous practice
25:01She's been suffering with tiredness and joint pain for five years
25:04Did 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?
25:19I saw in the ring and it's incredibly physical
25:22But an impact injury would be on one side, not both
25:26Is there still one 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
25:46But baby's head is engaged, Tina
25:49I really don't think you'll have very long to wait
25:52Oh, this reading is just a little bit higher than I'd like
25:58We can't have anything else go wrong
26:00Nothing's going to go wrong
26:02But I do want you to come over to the maternity home with me
26:06So Dr. Turner could take a look at you
26:22Any chance of a 99?
26:24I have an elderly friend, might like a bit of a pick-the-up
26:27What's that some matter, pal?
26:33Brian?
26:36You ain't put me down for a single match
26:39I can't afford to promote wrestlers who keep losing
26:43Look, I 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
26:53Look, 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
27:02It's a place down Deptford where they roll about in jelly
27:06Girls earn 30 quid about
27:0830 quid?
27:10I pay 20
27:14Bring your own bikini
27:15Usually Tina reads stuff for me but I don't want to worry all this
27:29There's going to be further surgery
27:31And a radiography assessment
27:37I'm going to have to stop working
27:41Won't be for long
27:44I mean, you've got a family to support you
27:47I've only just proved to him that I'm a man
27:50I'm making a go of the van, earning my own living
27:53And now I've got a woman's disease
27:56And I can't provide
27:57I'm telling him nothing
28:00I'm telling him nothing
28:04PHONE RINGS
28:08Geoffrey Franklin
28:10Mr. Franklin, it's Sister Catherine from Nunata's House
28:14It's about Sister Veronica
28:16And...
28:18I'm calling you in confidence
28:21I see
28:22I don't like leaving you on your own, Tony
28:26Don't be daft
28:29I'm fine
28:31Hey, look
28:35Got my appointment through already
28:38Nothing to be done till then
28:40It's you and the baby we need to think about now
28:45Alright
28:47Just promise me
28:49You'll tell your brothers
28:53I promise
28:59You'll need to take these diuretics first thing in the morning
29:02As you don't want to be up all hours of the night
29:05We can bring the commode into your room
29:08The commode will not be entertained
29:10You may come to revise that opinion
29:13Your tone is brisk
29:15Given that my days are numbered
29:17Everybody's days are numbered, Sister
29:19Mine as well as yours
29:21One way and another
29:23But you may be going on for quite a long time
29:34Possibly feeling slightly better than you have done
29:38Given that we know what ails you now
29:40Maybe I do not care to go on for quite a long time
29:48Let's see how we do, shall we?
29:51With these diuretics
29:52With these diuretics
30:10Cole?
30:11We'll proceed with a full mastectomy of your right breast
30:21We'll remove the breast tissue along with the lymph nodes
30:25And the pectoralis major muscle
30:28I don't want to do this
30:30I promise you scarring will be minimal
30:32And at least you won't be having to deal with foam rubber falsies like my lady patients
30:34Come on, where are we?
30:35Come on, where are we?
30:36Come on, where are we?
31:04Can I help you?
31:05I'm Carl Savage's mum
31:06Is he here?
31:07Because if he's not...
31:08Carl Savage?
31:09I've just checked every member of his class for headlace, including him
31:10Oh, thank God
31:12Thank God
31:13Do you want to go in and speak with him?
31:14Gwen?
31:15What's happened?
31:16I couldn't wake up this morning
31:17Carl took himself to school
31:19It's the worst I've ever felt
31:20What's this on your face, Gwen?
31:21It's like this all the time
31:22I cover it with a pan stick usually
31:39Usually
31:58You waiting for your wife
32:00My husband says he can't stand the smell of this place drops me at the door and waits in the pub
32:05Mr. Bianchi
32:11Is this ever itchy or sore? No, and it's never all blisters like the one on my back. It's more like a sunburn
32:20You've been covering it up with panstick because it's such a strange shape
32:24Like a butterfly
32:27That herpes gladiatorum on your back was a complete red herring
32:32This is what leads us to your diagnosis
32:34Have you ever heard of a condition called lupus?
32:39Nobody in your family's ever had it or mentioned it. No
32:43Do you think that's what I've got this rash is so distinctive. I'd put money on it as a diagnosis. How long will it take to get rid of it?
32:52It's going to be about management rather than cure, but I promise you we can get you feeling better
32:59Can't be cured
33:01But I need to win matches again. Gwen, you are too unwell to fight
33:10Tony, thank God I've been worried sick. Had it go at the hospital. He was all fine
33:16Your doctor's very pleased with me. Oh
33:19Really?
33:21So what happens next? What treatment are they giving you? So many pills will be rattling
33:28The important thing is that you are getting some rest
33:33Not worrying yourself silly. I'm not now. I've heard your voice
33:37I love your voice. I hardly ever get to talk on the phone
33:40Because we're together all the time
33:45And we'll be together again
33:47Soon
33:48Tony. Tony. Tony. We're going down the pub. You're coming. Tony
34:09Tony. Tony. Tony. Tony.
34:12OK, Bob.
34:14Come on. Let's go.
34:32Beryl burrows as I live and breathe.
34:35Do 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. There's a rota in the retreat house.
34:53Stop. Stop. Before you completely break my heart.
34:57I come here almost every day.
35:00Sometimes I have an eclair.
35:02When the fancy takes me, I have a cream split.
35:05You get a cherry on a cream split.
35:08And there's this little burst of flavour when you bite it.
35:12Tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street too, in broad daylight.
35:16Twice.
35:18Although sometimes it feels as though it's the things I don't do
35:22that tell me more about where I am now or where I might go next.
35:27What don't you do?
35:29I don't pray.
35:31I came here to pray.
35:33Or at least to decide what I ought to be praying for.
35:37But I can't.
35:39And do you know why?
35:41It's not different enough to the convent, Beryl.
35:44And all the snatched patisserie in the world can't disguise the fact
35:48that you are still living the same sort of half-life.
35:50Trapped underneath a similar godly bell jar.
35:55And how do you propose to change that?
35:58Come and stay with me.
36:00Geoffrey.
36:02I am still technically a nun.
36:05I can't live with a man.
36:07You could lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor.
36:17You've missed two appointments at the hospital, Tony.
36:21Do you have anyone to talk to?
36:24Your brothers, perhaps?
36:26I can't.
36:27Not with it being, you know, breast cancer.
36:33It's so humiliating.
36:35I can hear them now.
36:37Your typical Tony.
36:40Dr. 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 I shouldn't be moaning about me.
37:33I should be looking after Tina.
37:37Dr. Turner says she can come home if you're feeling up to it.
37:41Of course I'm feeling up to it.
37:44Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
37:53I read in the papers that Gem and our people will make it tonight.
38:01The stars will be shining.
38:03You shining my sign is aligning with love.
38:09So come on and make it.
38:11Let's take everything that we've been dreaming of.
38:16Something tells me something's gonna happen to you.
38:22You stay in the dressing room tonight. Promise?
38:34Promise.
38:35And if I win, you'll get that bike. My precious boy.
38:52You're keeping up with those peppermints, child?
39:07I'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.
39:26I popped into the surgery when no-one was there to check on your results.
39:31I think we need to have a talk.
39:35I can't seem to get comfortable.
39:44My back is killing me.
39:49Tony, the sheets are wet.
39:55Do you think your walls are broke?
39:57I thought they'd be more of a whoosh.
40:01I don't feel right, Tony.
40:04Joyce, what am I going to do?
40:10The pill was supposed to be foolproof.
40:13Honey, the pill was invented by man and is taken by women.
40:17It's always going to be subject to human error.
40:20I will lose my job.
40:22I will have to tell my parents and I hardly speak to them as it is
40:25because they don't approve of Cyril.
40:27What? I approve of Cyril.
40:29He is a good man and he will support you, whatever you choose to do.
40:33Choose to do?
40:35Joyce, I'm not even going to consider an abortion.
40:39That's why it's so hard.
40:42That'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.
40:52And I will cover for you in any way I can.
40:59You have enough peppermint and wash your face.
41:00You have enough peppermint and wash your face.
41:09Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats for tonight's
41:11teeny-meaning steamy-bikini extravaganza of a fight.
41:20Nanata's house, midwife speaking.
41:22I'm ringing up about Tina Bianchi.
41:24We think she got into labour.
41:26I've been timing them, they're two minutes apart.
41:28Rosalyn?
41:29Rosalyn!
41:30Come quickly!
41:3115, 20.
41:32As promised.
41:33Put on a good show for the gents, were you girls?
41:35They like a bit of hair pulling.
41:36Hair pulling's an illegal move.
41:37It's not an illegal game though, is it, Gwen?
41:38Who's going to complain?
41:39Don't do this, Gwen.
41:40Please.
41:41What are you doing here?
41:42You're putting yourself in real danger if you fight tonight.
41:43Your body is severely weakened from lupus.
41:44And your chances of getting injured are high.
41:45And what would Carl do then?
41:46Look, if you're not going to fight, you can hand that money back right now.
42:12A 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.
42:46Tell her to blow as if she is blowing out candles.
42:48See that?
42:49Don't push.
42:50Blow.
42:51Blow.
42:52Blow.
42:53Yeah, that's it.
42:55Do it with me.
43:02Oi!
43:03Oi!
43:04Oi!
43:05You punched her!
43:07I sent you!
43:08No punch!
43:09Ah!
43:10Ah!
43:11Ah!
43:12Ah!
43:13Ah!
43:14Ah!
43:15Ah!
43:16Ah!
43:17Ah!
43:18Ah!
43:19Ah!
43:20Ah!
43:21Do you want to tap?
43:22Do you want to give up?
43:23Ah!
43:24Ah!
43:25Tony, I need you to describe exactly what you can see.
43:28I don't know what I can see.
43:30Ah!
43:31I think it might be the baby's head.
43:33Ah!
43:34Ah!
43:35Ah!
43:36Ah!
43:37Ah!
43:38Ah!
43:39Ah!
43:40Ah!
43:41Ah!
43:42Ah!
43:43Ah!
43:44Ah!
43:45Ah!
43:46Ah!
43:47Ah!
43:48Ah!
43:49Ah!
43:50Ah!
43:51Ah!
43:52Ah!
43:53Ah!
43:54Ah!
43:55Ah!
43:56Ah!
43:57Ah!
43:58Ah!
43:59Ah!
44:00Ah!
44:01Ah!
44:02Ah!
44:03Ah!
44:04Ah!
44:05Ah!
44:06Ah!
44:07Ah!
44:08Ah!
44:09Ah!
44:10Can you hear me?
44:11Gwen?
44:12Gwen?
44:13Gwen?
44:14Call for an ambulance.
44:16Quickly!
44:17Mr. Bianchi, you need to get ready to deliver this baby yourself.
44:24But you must not hang up.
44:25Do you hear me?
44:26Ah!
44:27Ah!
44:28Ah!
44:29Ah!
44:30Ah!
44:31Ah!
44:32Ah!
44:33Ah!
44:34Ah!
44:35Ah!
44:36Ah!
44:37Ah!
44:38Ah!
44:39Ah!
44:40Ah!
44:41Ah!
44:42Ah!
44:43Ah!
44:44Ah!
44:45Ah!
44:46Ah!
44:47Don't pull!
44:48Ah!
44:49Now very gently place your hands under its head.
44:50Wait for the next big contraction.
44:52And guide the body out.
44:53Ah!
44:54Don't pull!
44:55Oh!
44:56Ah!
44:57There's something blue wrapped around its neck.
44:58Is that supposed to be there?
44:59It's the cord.
45:00All you have to do is slip your finger underneath it...
45:02And lift anything over baby's head.
45:03It should slide off quite easily!
45:05Have you managed to move it?
45:10It works.
45:11It's off.
45:12Have you managed to move it?
45:14It works. It's off.
45:30It's a boy, Tina.
45:37You got a little boy.
45:42You did it, Tony. You delivered our son.
46:02Just look at you.
46:06Well, someone was in a hurry to get into the world.
46:12Wait till we tell all your uncles about this.
46:20There's you.
46:22There's my boy.
46:23You 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.
46:35They're willing to talk to social services.
46:37I bet they are.
46:39Social services will take him off me.
46:41I'm sure that isn't the case.
46:43But Gwen, you're treading a dangerous path in London, even if your health allowed you to keep on fighting.
46:51There are alternatives.
46:53Just as there's alternatives to keeping your money in a cushion cover.
46:57Are you going to tell me what they are?
46:59Cos I'd listen to you.
47:02You've told me you know what it is to find things hard.
47:05Another one for the footy team.
47:15A striker.
47:16My turn now.
47:17My turn.
47:18Careful.
47:19And Mrs. Turner's just helping Tina to freshen up.
47:26And then Master Bianchi needs to have his lunch.
47:29The Neo-Papa did a good job on his own then, Doctor.
47:32Not many people could deliver their own son single-handed.
47:36But Tony did.
47:39This man, hmm?
47:41He's a proper man.
47:43He certainly is.
47:44And I salute him.
47:49Bravo!
47:56Let's...
48:00Something's come up...
48:03...that I'm...
48:05...not going to be able to do single-handed.
48:11I've got cancer.
48:19Breast cancer.
48:31Oh.
48:32Tony.
48:35I wish Mumma was here.
48:40No.
48:41No.
48:42You are the best of us, little brother.
48:56And we...
48:58...will not let you go.
48:59I spoke to the surgery, Gwen.
49:14All your records will be sent to the new GP we found for you up north.
49:30Thanks, Nurse.
49:31I've got to start looking after myself now, haven't I?
49:33She's not going to be a russer any more.
49:35I know.
49:37Would you like a hand putting that in the van?
49:39Or are you planning on pedalling all the way to Blackpool?
49:41Thanks, Nurse.
49:45And thanks for the advice.
49:47There's like a bold move, taking a job in a gym, training other women.
49:56But 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 pamphering his contacts.
50:37Oh.
50:38I came home from a lunch hour.
50:39Do you want to go for a walk?
50:40No.
50:42I'm afraid I don't.
50:45It seems you've 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 queue.
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 adapt.
51:19A very good attitude to have.
51:22Which is why we're placing you front and centre of our plans.
51:27And closing you down.
51:32Closing us down?
51:33Not as a GP.
51:35Although 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.
51:47But the licence runs out in a matter of weeks.
51:52It's always been renewed as a formality.
51:55This is the brave new world, Turner. There is no always anymore. There isn't even an always for me. The council will have to hand everything over to the National Health.
52:05But while you still have power here doing this. To us and to Nanata's house.
52:13Nanata's house. They were forever outliers. And eccentric.
52:19Threpwood. What is the logic in all of this?
52:24How is it going to benefit the patients?
52:27I knew you'd say that. And it's why we chose to put you at the vanguard.
52:31No matter what goes on somewhere far away in the offices of Whitehall, there will always be patients.
52:41And you say that as though it's a problem.
52:48I'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.
53:01We both agreed it was what we wanted. That it would let us have other things we wanted. And wanted very much.
53:11We just didn't want this, did we?
53:15I 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.
53:31And building a life with you means more than just rings and mortgages.
53:38And bricks and mortar.
53:42Did 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.
54:03Or that little girl has a smile like hers.
54:06I 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.
54:23And now it doesn't have to be.
