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, Matteo.
02:42Come on, this way.
02:44Idiot.
02:45You took her in too early.
02:46Hey, bro.
02:47You coming to football tonight?
02:48I don't know, Matteo.
02:50I'm not really in the mood.
02:52You stop coming to football.
02:53You stop coming swimming.
02:54You need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
02:57Come on, let's go.
02:59You got everything?
03:00See you, baby brother.
03:02I am yum.
03:03You got the bag?
03:04Come on, let's go.
03:05I do not have unlimited quantities of copacular matter in my veins.
03:11Sister, 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.
03:24I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
03:30Sister, 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.
03:49I have moody.
03:52This is the game.
03:53Let me check this place.
03:55Peace.
03:56ë°± CLIFFORD
04:00You're my wife, along with astonished and atraruce Muhanna.
04:01Ladies and gentlemen, the doors to tonight's wrestling
04:02in the main hall will open in five minutes.
04:04I've learned so much about deferment since I gave up drink.
04:25I've learned you can bear anything if you pretend it's forever.
04:30I can postpone.
04:32I can wait.
04:35But putting things off until tomorrow doesn't always work.
04:38Because what if tomorrow never comes?
04:43I've been postponing a decision for a long time now.
04:50Come on!
04:51Come on!
04:52Yeah!
04:52Come on!
04:53No!
04:57Here's one.
04:58Enter!
04:59Enter!
05:00Out!
05:01Wingerbird!
05:02Wingerbird!
05:03Wingerbird!
05:04Wingerbird!
05:05It's alright, love?
05:06Harmony?
05:07It's not a decision about drink.
05:12It's a decision about work.
05:14And work is my other addiction.
05:20Is there a doctor in here?
05:21Anyone?
05:22I'm a nurse.
05:23That'll do.
05:24It's a concussion.
05:26If you're staging sporting events, you're legally obliged to have medical help on the premises.
05:32I don't know nothing about no legal obligations.
05:35Um, this is her.
05:36Harmony Savage.
05:37Hello, Harmony.
05:38I'm a nurse.
05:39I'm sorry you've been hurt.
05:42Occupationalizers.
05:43Did you lose consciousness or did you remain aware of your surroundings?
05:47I never went out.
05:48I was just putting on a bit of a show.
05:51Punters like it.
05:53I've got to go back out and finish your job.
05:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:57You were out cold.
05:58I did the count, but it's over.
06:00Brenda the Butcher won fair and square.
06:03They'll have gone to give out 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.
06:16I'm going to go home to bed.
06:20Oh, hello, sweetie.
06:25Who's this?
06:26Cole, 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.
06:38Any better ideas?
06:41I know it was a false alarm to that heap, but it made me think how real all this is.
06:50How we've made a proper grown-up life.
06:55You do go on.
06:58It's like being the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder.
07:03No, it wasn't that.
07:05It was being the one who was no good at all the things the others did.
07:09It was 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.
07:20Come on, light's up.
07:23What's that?
07:24Oh, nothing.
07:26Tony, there's blood on your singlet.
07:28What is it?
07:29Show me.
07:30Oh.
07:31How long have you had this?
07:32Oh, wow.
07:33I'll put the plaster on it.
07:34You will not.
07:35In the morning, I'm ringing the doctor.
07:37Out.
07:38Get it.
07:39Wrestling was all I knew, even as a little girl.
08:02My dad was Bert Savage.
08:04Lamb of Pamphlet.
08:06My dad was burnt savage. Lamb of pamphlet. God rest him.
08:11I used to watch him every time he fought.
08:12It's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps.
08:15It'd be even more wonderful if it were legal.
08:17There's a whole lady's 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 of at all possible harmony.
08:26Oh, my real name's Gwen.
08:29Thanks for seeing us home.
08:32Come on, little in.
08:36I've given up to doing sports and everything.
08:49It's so unsightly.
08:53I'll probably just bang it.
08:55It 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 that 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.
10:06I like it when the seasons start to turn, though.
10:10That time of year, the maest 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
10:31Thou seest the twilight of such day
10:35As after sunset fadeth in the west
10:39Which by and by
10:42Like night doth
10:43Take away their second self
10:46That seals up all
10:50In rest
10:51Sister Monica Tone
11:08What was brought this on?
11:14Time, 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
11:48Keeps 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?
12:42No, they 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 the 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 till I came to live in England
13:14Me 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 throwing 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 shot
14:16Yes
14:18Referee, she can't do that
14:28Hey, hey, it's our close best
14:33No
14:34No
14:35No
14:36No
14:37No
14:39No
14:39No
14:40No
14:41No
14:41No
14:42No
14:42No
14:43No
14:43The winner is
14:44Demolition
14:45Debbie
14:46Are you feeling sick?
15:07This is not good, honey.
15:09But we're going to do a test.
15:11I'll help you.
15:12I don't want anyone to know.
15:13They won't.
15:16Good morning, Miss Higgins.
15:20Have the samples gone off to the laboratory yet?
15:22They will be dispatched very shortly,
15:24but if you wish to add any to the list,
15:27I'm afraid you must see to the paperwork yourself.
15:29Nurse?
15:45Good morning, Gwen.
15:47Dr Turner remembered an iodine preparation
15:49he thought might help with your skin condition.
15:51I told him I'd drop it off.
15:54Have you been in another fight?
15:55Yes, and I didn't win that one either.
16:05Miss Gordstay, old chap.
16:07I overslept again.
16:09I don't like going in late because it gets told off.
16:11I imagine you're exhausted after a match.
16:13I'm always exhausted, but I'm a mum, aren't I?
16:17And it's just me.
16:19If I weren't tired, I mean, I was slacking.
16:22I'm a stepmother to a little boy of Carl's age
16:25that certainly keeps one on one's toes.
16:27I hope he talks like you do.
16:29You've got a lovely way of putting things.
16:30Can I make you a cuppa?
16:34A cuppa would actually be extremely welcome,
16:37but I should be making you one.
16:42I'm sorry.
16:43I'll have to get out.
16:44That's all I've got this time.
16:57I'll give you the full amount next week.
17:00I've heard that before, and more than once.
17:03I am not a charity!
17:04No, there ain't nothing in here but feathers.
17:14I'm officially skeent.
17:15Do you keep your money in a cushion cover?
17:17I don't trust banks.
17:19At least that's where I know my money is.
17:20Even when I've got none.
17:23Sorry, I've gone all dizzy.
17:29Mr. Bianchi, I'm Mr. Penn Warden.
17:32I'll be removing this cyst for you.
17:34Uh, do 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,
18:06but I strongly suspect
18:07that if you'd have almost passed out
18:09in front of Dr. Turner,
18:10he'd want to check your iron levels.
18:12Maybe I just need a tonic.
18:14Maybe you do.
18:16I just think that as another woman
18:17who's often had to stand on her own two feet,
18:20you need to be in better condition than this.
18:22Are you on your own with your kiddie?
18:26No.
18:27But I was very much on my own for a long time
18:30before he and his father came into my life.
18:33And I know what it feels like
18:34to be fighting an invisible opponent.
18:37I fight invisible ones and all.
18:39And I've no doubt you're extremely good at it.
18:42But you need someone more than a wrestling promoter
18:44in your corner.
18:45Now, let us help find out what's causing your malaise.
18:50Nurse Clifford's gone out to the cinema,
18:52but Nurse Hyland says we can have the box.
18:55Her new slippers came in.
18:56Could there be a more perfect showcase
18:58for nature's bounty?
19:00Oh, we can do a lot with ribbon and crepe paper.
19:04And that's before we start tying bows around marrows.
19:07Oh, these lamentable scissors.
19:09They wouldn't cut butter.
19:11Shall I see if I can find a sharper pair?
19:12What we really need is Sister Veronica
19:16and her magic pinking shears.
19:19How long has she gone to the mother house for?
19:22A lengthy retreat.
19:24I wasn't allowed to ask.
19:26It's her private spiritual business.
19:29Do you suppose she took her pinking shears?
19:32I would settle for her implements
19:33if we can't have her.
19:42I was hoping it was something that could be treated.
20:06But chronic kidney disease is just...
20:10Something that takes old people gently but kindly.
20:14But it takes them.
20:17How long has she been ill with this?
20:19I suspect not long.
20:22How long does she have?
20:26The same.
20:27Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is,
20:33she'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly.
20:39Till that day comes,
20:41we'll just have to love her as we always have.
20:44But a bit more carefully.
20:48What's up?
20:48What's up?
20:49You look happy.
20:53Today is a happy day.
20:58I got a letter from the solicitor.
21:00The decree absolute.
21:02I'm officially a single man.
21:06Everything we do now is ours.
21:09Our choice to make.
21:11The Board of Health requested a meeting.
21:13I told them your diary was full,
21:15but they were most insistent
21:16it's in your diary for Friday.
21:20I anticipate the usual fun and games.
21:23I need to see Anthony Bianchi.
21:26I've just had his histopathology results through from the hospital.
21:30Should I make an appointment for him?
21:33No.
21:34I'll call in on him today.
21:37We told you the truth.
21:39Sister Veronica is on retreat.
21:41You told us she had gone on retreat to the mother house.
21:44She would need her cross in the mother house.
21:46She would need her shoes.
21:48Our sister needed our discretion,
21:50and I gave that willingly and with love.
21:52I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed.
21:57I'm sorry if I have been arrogant
22:01in thinking I deserved an explanation.
22:05I 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.
22:16She's staying at the Oliver Christian Retreat Centre
22:18at Gravesend.
22:21Alone.
22:23Without anyone she knows
22:25or any friends to support her.
22:29Sister,
22:30out of all of us,
22:32Sister Veronica emits the most love.
22:35She needs the most love.
22:38She does not know what she needs or wants.
22:41And that is why she has had to go away.
22:48Morning.
22:51Have you come to see Tina?
22:53Mr. Bianchi,
22:54we've come to see you.
22:55I can't have breast cancer.
23:03It's a women's disease.
23:05We know all about that
23:06because his mum died of it.
23:09I know.
23:12She was a lovely lady.
23:14And even in the five years
23:16since she passed away
23:18we've learned so much about it.
23:21I can't have it.
23:22I'm a man.
23:26It is rare in men
23:27especially for someone of your age
23:29but it's not unheard of.
23:32Everyone has breast tissue, Tony.
23:35Men and women.
23:37We have less of it
23:38but
23:39it only takes a couple of cells to go rogue
23:43and a tumour can start to develop.
23:45I have had some specialist training
23:49and there are new treatments
23:51and new approaches to surgery.
24:01Should I have done something sooner
24:03when I first felt the lump?
24:05We are going to focus on the future now, Tony.
24:08And we are going to be with you
24:11every step of the way.
24:15I don't care whereabouts in your body it is.
24:19You've got the big C.
24:20We have to face up to it.
24:22We can face up to it together
24:24without telling people.
24:27What is that going to achieve, Tony?
24:30You need help.
24:31You need help.
24:32You need love.
24:35Tina.
24:35I need...
24:38Dignity.
24:42I need to feel like a man.
24:46There's a bike for sale.
24:52Maybe for your birthday, eh?
24:55If you win your next fight.
25:05Yes.
25:07Doctor.
25:09Gwen Savage's records arrived
25:11from her previous practice.
25:12She's been suffering with tiredness
25:14and joint pain for five years.
25:17Did the blood test we did show anything?
25:19Nothing at all conclusive.
25:22Just markers for minor inflammation,
25:26slightly low white blood count.
25:28Could the pain relate to the wrestling?
25:29I saw her in the ring
25:31and it's incredibly physical.
25:33But an impact injury
25:34would be on one side,
25:35not both.
25:38It's as though we're missing something.
25:41I never liked that.
25:43They said those Braxton Hicks pains
25:46was my body tuning up
25:47for the baby to be born.
25:48I got used to them,
25:50but they've got worse
25:51since I found out Tony isn't well.
25:53You've an immense amount
25:54to contend with at the moment.
25:56But baby's head is engaged, Tina.
25:59I really don't think
25:59you'll have very long to wait.
26:02Oh, this reading
26:05is just a little bit higher
26:07than I'd like.
26:08We can't have anything else go wrong.
26:10Nothing is going to go wrong.
26:12But I do want you
26:13to come over
26:14to the maternity home with me
26:15so Dr Turner
26:17can take a look at you.
26:18Any chance of a 99?
26:34I've an elderly friend
26:35and might like a bit of a pick-ne-up.
26:38What's the matter, pal?
26:43Brian?
26:47You won't put me down
26:48in a single match.
26:50I can't afford to promote
26:52wrestlers who keep losing.
26:53I can raise my game.
26:55My dad used to say,
26:56aim up,
26:57things will look up.
26:59Your dad was one
26:59of the best I've ever was.
27:01The Lamb of Panther
27:02was revered.
27:05Look, all I can offer you
27:06right now is
27:06the adult fixtures.
27:08Oh, no, no.
27:09Adult fixtures
27:10is one step away
27:10from stripping, Brian.
27:12I keep it clean.
27:14It's a place down Deptford
27:15where they roll about
27:15in jelly.
27:17Girls earn 30 quid
27:18about...
27:1830 quid.
27:20I pay 20.
27:24Bring your own bikini.
27:35Usually Tina reads stuff for me,
27:37but I don't want to worry all this.
27:40There's going to be further surgery
27:41and a 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.
27:57I've only just proved to him
27:59that I'm a man.
28:01I'm making a go of the van,
28:02earning my own living.
28:04And now I've got a woman's disease.
28:06And I can't provide it.
28:10I'm telling them nothing.
28:11I'm calling you in confidence.
28:32I see.
28:32I don't like leaving you
28:35on your own, Tony.
28:37Don't be daft.
28:39I'm fine.
28:42Hey, look.
28:45Got my appointment through already.
28:48Nothing to be done till then.
28:51It's you and the baby
28:52we need to think about now.
28:53All right.
28:57Just promise me
28:58you'll tell your brothers.
29:03I'll promise.
29:09You'll need to take these diuretics
29:11first thing in the morning,
29:13as you don't want to be up
29:14all hours of the night.
29:15We can bring the commode
29:16into your room.
29:18The commode will not be entertained.
29:20You may come to revise that opinion.
29:23Your tone is brisk,
29:26given that my days are numbered.
29:31Everybody's days are numbered, sister.
29:34Mine as well as yours,
29:36one way and another.
29:41But you may be going on
29:43for quite a long time,
29:46possibly feeling slightly better
29:47than you have done,
29:49given that we know
29:50what ails you now.
29:53maybe I do not care
29:55to go on for
29:56quite a long time.
29:59Let's see how we do,
30:01shall we?
30:02With these diuretics.
30:03Cole?
30:20Cole?
30:25Cole?
30:25Cole?
30:26Carl?
30:42We'll proceed with a full mastectomy of your right breast.
30:46We'll remove the breast tissue, along with the lymph nodes and the pectoralis major muscle.
30:54I don't want to do this.
30:55I promise you, scarring will be minimal and at least you won't be having to deal with foam rubber falsies like my lady patients.
31:10Come on, Carl, where are we?
31:11I'm Carl Savage's mum.
31:26Is he here because if he's not...
31:28Carl Savage. I've just checked every member of his class for headlace, including him.
31:32Oh, thank God. Thank God.
31:34Do you want to go in and speak with him?
31:37Gwen, what's happened?
31:39I couldn't wake up this morning. Carl took himself to school. It's the worst I've ever felt.
31:45What's this on your face, Gwen?
31:46It's like this all the time. I'll cover it with a pan stick, usually.
31:50You waiting for your wife?
31:57My husband says he can't stand the smell of this place.
32:01Drops me at the door and waits in the pub.
32:18Mr. Bianchi?
32:22Is this ever itchy or sore?
32:25No. And it's never all blisters like the one on my back. It's more like a sunburn.
32:30You've been covering it up with pan stick because it's such a strange shape.
32:33Like a butterfly. That herpes gladiatorum on your back was a complete red herring.
32:42This is what leads us to your diagnosis. Have you ever heard of a condition called lupus?
32:49Nobody in your family has ever had it? Or mentioned it?
32:52No. Do you think that's what I've got?
32:55This rash is so distinctive. I'd put money on it as a diagnosis.
32:59How long will it take to get rid of it?
33:00It's going to be about management rather than cure.
33:06But I promise you we can get you feeling better.
33:09I can't be cured.
33:12But I need to win matches again.
33:14Gwen, you are too unwell to fight.
33:20Tony, thank God I've been worried sick.
33:23How'd it go at the hospital?
33:24It was all fine. Your doctor's very pleased with me.
33:29Oh, really?
33:31So what happens next? What treatment are they giving you?
33:34So many pills I'll be rattling.
33:39The important thing is that you are getting some rest.
33:43Not worrying yourself silly.
33:44I'm not now. I've heard your voice.
33:46I love your voice. I love your voice.
33:49I hardly ever get to talk on the phone.
33:53Because we're together all the time.
33:56And we'll be together again.
33:57I'm shaming.
34:15Tony!
34:18Tony! We're going down the pub.
34:19Come on. Coming. Tony!
34:21Beryl burrows, as I live and breathe.
34:51Do tell me you're en route to a harvest festival with that dreary swag, because at the very
34:56least it would provoke a degree of fellow-feeling in me.
34:59I'm on potato-peeling duty.
35:02There's a rota in the retreat house.
35:04Stop, stop, before you completely break my heart.
35:09Come here almost every day.
35:11Sometimes I have an eclair, and when the fancier takes me, I have a cream split.
35:16You get a cherry on a cream split, and there's this little burst of flavour when you bite
35:22it.
35:23Tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street too, in broad daylight.
35:26Twice.
35:27Although sometimes it feels as though it's the things I don't do that tell me more about
35:34where I am now, or where I might go next.
35:38What don't you do?
35:40I don't pray.
35:41I came here to pray, or at least to decide what I ought to be praying for, but I can't.
35:50And do you know why?
35:52It's not different enough to the convent, Beryl.
35:54And all the snatched patisserie in the world can't disguise the fact that you are still living
35:59the same sort of half-life, trapped underneath a similar, godly bell jar.
36:06And how do you propose a change that?
36:09Come and stay with me.
36:10Geoffrey.
36:11I am still technically a nun.
36:15I can't live with a man.
36:18You could lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor.
36:22You've missed two appointments at the hospital, Tony.
36:32Do you have anyone to talk to?
36:34Your brothers, perhaps?
36:36I can't.
36:37I can't.
36:38Nor have it been, you know, breast cancer.
36:42It's so humiliating.
36:43I can hear them now.
36:44A typical Tony.
36:45Dr. Turner and I delivered a baby at the maternity home last week, and the mother asked if the
36:58older brother could come in and meet him.
37:00He placed the baby in his little arms and he was awestruck.
37:07This was his brother.
37:12He promised right then and there to teach him everything he knew.
37:16All his best fighting moves.
37:17A cat gun was mentioned.
37:21And something about which jelly babies tasted best.
37:25Green ones.
37:27According to Enzo.
37:29Always gave me the green ones.
37:32Brothers look after each other, Tony.
37:36I've seen it with my own boys.
37:38Right now she'll be moaning about me.
37:42She'll be looking after Tina.
37:44Dr. Turner says she can come home if you're feeling up to it.
37:51Of course I'm feeling up to it.
37:53Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
38:05I read in the papers that Gem and our people will make it tonight.
38:12Stars will be shining.
38:14My sign is aligning with love.
38:19So come on and make it.
38:21Let's take everything that we've been dreaming of.
38:26Something tells me something's gonna happen to you.
38:33The smile on my face is the smile you will wear in a moment or two.
38:40So get it together, you see, it's gonna be alright.
38:47Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight.
38:53You stay in the dressing room tonight.
38:55Promise?
38:56Promise.
38:57And if I win, you'll get that bike.
39:01My precious boy.
39:17You keeping up with those peppermints, child?
39:27I'm first on call tonight and I still feel quite queasy.
39:31But it's not just in the morning.
39:33Maybe the pill itself doesn't agree with me.
39:37I popped into the surgery when no one was there to check on your results.
39:41I think we need to have a talk.
39:47Oh, I can't seem to get comfortable.
39:53My back is killing me.
39:57Tony, the sheets are wet.
40:05Do you think your walls have broken?
40:07I thought it'd be more of a whoosh.
40:11I don't feel right, Tony.
40:13Joyce, what am I going to do?
40:20The pill was supposed to be foolproof.
40:23Honey, the pill was invented by man and is taken by women.
40:27It's always going to be subject to human error.
40:30I will lose my job.
40:32I will have to tell my parents and I hardly speak to them as it is because they don't approve of Cyril.
40:37What? I approve of Cyril.
40:39He is a good man and he will support you.
40:42Whatever you choose to do.
40:44Choose to do?
40:46Joyce, I'm not even going to consider an abortion.
40:50That's why it's so hard.
40:53That's why I'm going to get the sack.
40:56Talk to Cyril.
40:58You've got time before you have to tell anybody else.
41:01And I will cover for you in any way I can.
41:08You have enough of peppermint and wash your face.
41:20Please take your seats for tonight's teeny-moving steamy-bikini extravaganza of a fight.
41:30Nanata's house, midwife speaking.
41:32I'm ringing up about Tina Bianchi.
41:34We think she's gone into labour.
41:36I've been timing them for two minutes apart.
41:39Rosalyn?
41:42Rosalyn!
41:43Come quickly!
41:4415, 20.
41:46As promised.
41:47Put on a good show for the gents, were you girls?
41:50They like a bit of hair pulling.
41:53Hair pulling's an illegal move.
41:55It's not an illegal game though, is it Gwen?
41:59Who's going to complain?
42:01Don't do this Gwen.
42:02Please.
42:03What are you doing here?
42:04You're putting yourself in real danger if you fight tonight.
42:06Your body is severely weakened from lupus.
42:09And your chances of getting injured are high.
42:11And what would Carl do then?
42:12Look, if you're not going to fight, you can hand that money back right now.
42:16A midwife is on her way.
42:45And I'm going to stay with you on the end of this phone until she gets there.
42:49She keeps saying she wants to push.
42:54Tell her to blow.
42:56Tell her to blow as if she is blowing out candles.
42:58Tina, don't push.
42:59Blow.
43:00Blow.
43:01Blow.
43:02Blow.
43:03Yeah, that's it.
43:05Do it with me.
43:11No!
43:12You want to tap?
43:13Do you want to give up?
43:16Tony, I need you to describe exactly what you can see.
43:20Tony I need you to describe exactly what you can see I don't know I can see oh
43:41I think you might be the baby's egg

44:56it's the cord all you have to do is slip your finger underneath it and lift it over the baby's head it should slide off quite easily

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