00:27Sometimes
00:29Our new beginnings
00:31Have been year and fall
00:33We have chosen them
00:37Others lie in wait
00:39And burst upon us
00:41Like bad weather
00:42Or unwelcome beasts
00:46Little wonder
00:48That we cling
00:49To what is certain
00:52Home
00:52The hearth
00:53The family
00:54Born
00:55Or found
00:57Places where no storms land
00:59And we think no winds can blow
01:05What's happening with the father in all this?
01:08Is there any prospect of marriage?
01:10I've asked her that and she wouldn't answer
01:12How could you be so stupid, Belinda?
01:15You had the world at your feet
01:19University
01:20Once you gave up on the idea of nursing
01:22You were gonna be a history teacher
01:24I can still be a history teacher
01:27Who's gonna give you a job?
01:29You'll be an unmarried mother
01:30Rhoda
01:30The world's changing
01:32Not fast enough
01:34People keep saying the world's changing for people like Susan
01:37And I don't see any evidence of it
01:39This isn't about Susan
01:40Mum
01:45Lady Aylward
01:47Would you consider entering into partnership with me?
01:51Partnership?
01:51I intend to semi-retire
01:53And I thought that
01:5540% ownership
01:56Of the Lady Emily
01:58Might appeal
01:59With the backing of the Aylward estate, of course
02:02I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylward estate capital
02:06Mr. Scarrisbrick
02:07And neither does my husband
02:09Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law
02:12Lavinia
02:12Ah, of course, dear, difficult Lavinia
02:16I remember her from our dancing days
02:19Nevertheless, I would like you to at least consider the offer
02:23Perhaps you could put your wiles to work
02:29Hey, look, you gotta calm down
02:32Alright, and you gotta sit down
02:34And then we can work things out
02:36Look, if there is one thing that we're really good at as a family
02:39It is working our problem
02:40I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad
02:42I did it on my own
02:43And you have fun, did you?
02:44It was fun-tastic
02:47While it lasted
02:54Hey
02:56This isn't your fault
02:59Eh?
03:00How beautiful
03:09Oh, Peril
03:12I thought we had mice
03:13Which aren't unheard of
03:14Even in the best-managed mansion flats
03:16I was feeling the heat
03:18I think it's that continental quilt
03:20I don't think they'll catch on over here
03:23The winters aren't cold enough
03:25Well, I'll swap you with this candlewick
03:27Tomorrow
03:28No
03:29No
03:35No
03:36If you don't want to take the diuretics anymore
03:40I accept that
03:43You're not going to dissuade me
03:46No
03:49I tried to
03:51Out of love
03:54As we discussed
03:56As we discussed
03:56And now I will stop
03:59Out with respect
04:00Out with respect
04:08Good morning
04:11Rosalind, I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news stations
04:16And bought
04:17Bridal magazines
04:18In all of them
04:19I've no time to get anything made
04:20There are superb ready-to-wear options these days
04:23And every boutique worth knowing will be listed in the small ads
04:26I've never even decided if I'm going to wear white
04:28And the weather's going to be cold
04:29It's a wedding dress
04:31Why would you not want white?
04:33There are wonderful options in lace that would look divine with a long sleeve
04:38Delicate, virginal, and no one will see your goosebumps
04:42I've just had two very interesting phone calls
04:45First St Cuspert's telling me that Mrs Rhoda Mollocks is pressing for an early discharge
04:50After a cholecystectomy
04:52She's not going to be very well at all
04:54Should I add her to the district nursing list?
04:56Thank you, Nurse Clifford
04:57But then I had Mrs Mollocks ring to say that their elder daughter is expecting and in need of our
05:03attention
05:04I'll put Mrs Turner on to this
05:06She knows the family well
05:09Nurse Crane, I'm afraid I'd need to speak to you about Sister Monica Joan
05:16There isn't a GP on this earth that would force a determined woman of 90-odd to take medication if
05:22she doesn't want to
05:23All it will do is make her more unhappy
05:25She's almost cheery this morning
05:28If anything, you'd think she was on the mend
05:30Well, don't bother her with any urine or blood tests for now
05:34The symptoms will speak for themselves
05:37Thank you, Doctor
05:39I'll keep you informed as things unfold
05:43Thank you
05:45Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies asking you for the return of every
05:52item of council-owned equipment in our possession
05:55Now?
05:56Prior or immediately subsequent to the closure of your facility as appropriate
06:02Well, the closure itself isn't appropriate
06:05And every bed, kidney bowl and set of clamps is staying on these premises until the last mother and baby
06:11go out of those doors
06:12We've included this entirely spurious list of items headed assumed inventory
06:19It will be consigned to the incinerator and I shall prepare an audit of our own
06:23The incubator never belonged to Central Supplies
06:26It was paid for by the people of Poplar because the council wouldn't provide the funds
06:32They are not having it
06:35And I'm still a GP
06:37Send in my next patient
06:42I don't think your dates are quite right, Belinda
06:46You feel close to turn to me
06:48Does that mean I'm going to have it soon?
06:49Very possibly
06:50She was here all through the summer holidays and as Rhoda keeps telling me there was nothing showing
06:55Bernie, why don't you go to work until Rhoda arrives in the ambulance
07:00Belinda and I can work through some tests and I'll make enquiries about a home help
07:05Mum will tell you she doesn't need one
07:07And I'll tell her that without one she'll end up back in hospital
07:11Don't worry
07:12We'll soon get things organised
07:14For both of you
07:16You are more than welcome
07:18Mr Franklin will see you at four o'clock
07:22Viola player with a wry neck and begging to be squeezed in
07:26I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over and there'd still be people weeping at the
07:31gates
07:32I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily when I start as matron
07:36there
07:37Have you told anyone at Ninata's house yet?
07:39That I'm moving
07:42I'll speak to Sister Julia when she's back from the mother house
07:45Are you afraid how she might react?
07:47I'm terrified
07:48Not because she'll be angry
07:50But because she'll be quite calm
07:52Not because she'll be disappointed
07:55But that she'll be accepting
07:57But worst of all
07:58I'm terrified she'll smile
08:01And wrap her arms around me
08:03And tell me it's all God's plan
08:06What if it is God's plan?
08:08Then I resent it
08:10We've spent years and years and years
08:14Trying to determine and do
08:17The best for the women of Poplar
08:19But in the end it all counts for nothing
08:23Because
08:24Some great imaginary being decided otherwise
08:27Well just because God is invisible doesn't make him imaginary
08:35I'm sorry
08:35Rhoda I need to take your blood pressure
08:37And then I want you upstairs and resting in bed
08:41Just let us hear from the Thalidomide Society and the campaign
08:44They need dealing with
08:46And I need to talk to Belinda
08:49She's upstairs
08:51I think she was feeling quite
08:54Anxious
08:57Belinda?
09:00I need to say
09:02What all mums say, don't I?
09:06I need to say
09:08You're not the first
09:10And you won't be the last
09:15It'll be alright love
09:18We've got through worse than this
09:21I never got through worse than this
09:27I wish to sit in the chair
09:31And I find myself desirous of a pomegranate
09:36That would be most unwise
09:38Pomegranates are extremely high in potassium
09:41Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
09:44I would like you to summon someone from this establishment
09:52Albion and Sons is an undertaker's
09:55And I will have a pomegranate
09:59I'll never finish with God
10:02And I'll never question Him
10:04It's only myself I'm confused about
10:07And what I want
10:09And whether it's right for me to want it
10:12I know you want a child, Meryl
10:14But is there more to it than that?
10:18I've wanted a child
10:19So much
10:21It filled my every aching moment
10:25My every waking thought
10:27But now
10:31I've started my menopause
10:36I've left it all too late
10:44I loved Susan from the moment I saw her
10:48So did I
10:51But I was scared
10:53About what you think
10:56You and Perry
10:58Because I knew your lives had changed
11:00I knew
11:02We were all headed somewhere
11:06That wasn't normal
11:07Susan was normal
11:08To us
11:10Sometimes I only remembered she was different
11:12When I saw other people's faces
11:14She made us more of a gang, though, didn't she?
11:17Still does
11:19Malick's is against the world
11:22And you were never just Belinda
11:24After she came along
11:26You were Susan's sister
11:28I don't want you to think I'm not proud of that
11:31But I had to look at everything
11:34That way
11:35And everybody looked at me that way
11:37When I went to university
11:38I wasn't Susan's sister
11:42And when I thought
11:43I was wanted
11:45That I was special
11:47I was just so
11:49Thrilled
11:50I did stupid, stupid things
11:52If that's because of anything that I did
11:57Then I was stupid too
12:03Dr. Turner
12:04Dr. Turner
12:04Philip Perry
12:06That son of yours is shaping up quite nicely
12:09We'll make an obstetrician of him yet
12:11I'm still hoping to make him a GP
12:13Um, later this month
12:14We're trying out some new diagnostic technology
12:16I thought you might send some patients my way
12:18Of course
12:19In return for a preview
12:22Were you taken by surprise when I requested your attendance?
12:26We genuinely look after the deceased, Sister Monica Joan
12:29But it seems to me that caring for the dying matters just as much
12:35I do not fear death
12:38I am, however, beset by all manner of opinions
12:42About your funeral
12:43There are rites and rituals that I've prescribed
12:47And I embrace them
12:49But I find I cannot rest
12:52Lest my farewell is not managed in the way it ought to be
12:56If you explain to me
12:58Why you think that is
12:59I can help
13:01By working out what you should do
13:09Red!
13:11Red!
13:13What's the matter, Sister?
13:15Sister Monica Joan has asked for the wheelchair
13:18Oh, blimey
13:18Is it still in the shed?
13:24I've been using it to transport compost
13:26Well, I thought she'd approve of that
13:35Nenata's house, Midway speaking
13:37Sis, it's me
13:38Um, Matthew's been trying to get hold of you
13:40I'm on a house called Geoffrey, what's the matter?
13:42It's your ma-in-law, the other Lady Aylwood
13:45Sis, she's had a massive heart attack
13:47Matthew's already left for the airport
13:49They quarrelled so badly when she took over the company
13:52He'll be desperate to see her
13:53I'm afraid it's too late
13:57Sometimes I think it's a market that has changed at least
14:00The produce always marked the changing of the seasons
14:04Even during times of war
14:07I remember some winters
14:09There was nothing on these vegetables except turnips and dried peas
14:14All right, Sister
14:15Fancy a few bananas on the house
14:20My eyes are dimmer than once they were
14:24It is Mr. Morris, is it not?
14:28Who wants to know? The old Bill?
14:32The sisters brought all of our kids into the world
14:35But you delivered the first one and the last
14:41Which was a fortling breach
14:44I recall that now
14:46Well Mildred said afterwards
14:47Don't you ever charge her for bananas again
14:51How about a few chrysants, Sister?
14:53Oh, thank you
14:56I don't deserve such generosity
14:59I'd let them be the judge of that
15:09The flags beneath these wheels are worn quite smooth
15:17One thinks about the feet that made them, sir
15:21The brides
15:24The mothers
15:26Of a thousand infants brought to be baptized
15:32The mourners
15:37I see a few churches in my line of work
15:41I always reckon this one is the best
15:46Do you ever pray, Mr. Molox?
15:51I have felt the inclination once or twice
15:59I will be buried at the mother house
16:04But I want my requiem to take place here
16:10I am not only leaving this earth, Mr. Molox
16:14I am leaving Poplar
16:16And it is my home
16:22Has there ever been a greater indicator of a shotgun wedding status
16:26Than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
16:31Pick your nozzle
16:33I'll do the small rosettes, you can do the large ones
16:36I do so wish you were able to come
16:38I always loved to party
16:40Almost more than anything
16:43As a nun I was always sat on the sidelines
16:46Now not a nun, however temporarily
16:50And banished
16:52I could give a good account of myself in the Foxtrot once upon a time
16:56Oh, I adore a Foxtrot
16:59I also know of a lovely lounge bar
17:02Where they play all the right tunes and serve resplendent cocktails
17:06I'll take you there if you like
17:08I'd like to be anywhere where I'm not on the fringes
17:14This campaign is making you ill, you've got to give it a mess, bro
17:17Where's that going to get anyone?
17:19Susan is never, ever going to be independent
17:22I think about that every day
17:23What are you going to be if you rip your stitches out?
17:25Well what are you doing about that?
17:26She want me to carry you up?
17:28Yes, so I can't hear them
17:30I think they're doing quite well, don't you?
17:52For a moment, I thought she was Sister Maud
17:57I think I've heard of Sister Maud
18:00But she passed away long before my time
18:04She was the infirmarian
18:08And she loved her deathbed
18:11More than any birthing chamber
18:14The end of life
18:16Was always more compelling to her
18:20Than its commencement
18:23Sometimes
18:25I saw her weep
18:28She wept when she died
18:32But religious
18:33Are supposed to welcome the end
18:36When it is offered to us
18:40I think
18:45It is offered to me now
18:47No, Sister
18:49You were the one who foretold it
18:52What do you mean?
18:54At Christmas
18:55When we saw another
18:57Pass through the veil
18:59From this world to the next
19:04I can't recall his name
19:07But his eyes were bright
19:11Like Robins
19:14Mr. Fisher
19:18He was met
19:20By all who loved him
19:23And you said the sisters
19:26Would come for me
19:29When you die?
19:32I saw Sister Maud
19:34As clearly as I see you now
19:41And I know it has begun
19:45And I know it has begun
19:50I'm not convinced it's imminent
19:52But she's asked to see the priest
19:54I will come back tomorrow
19:57I was already preparing to leave
20:00As there have been discussions
20:01And a vote
20:03And I have news to impart
20:05Will you impart it when you get home?
20:07Yes
20:09Please, just stay with our sister now
20:11I won't leave her for a moment
20:16Oh, come on, lass
20:18We're in this together
20:21There's going to be a wedding
20:24That's life though, isn't it?
20:27And I didn't dare tell Sister Julianne the other thing she asked for
20:33So, a little word told us you fancy the gin and tonic?
20:37You better drink it because we had to go to the off-license specially
20:42I have heard the beverage mentioned so often in my lifetime
20:47And always in such approving terms
20:52I thought it a shame
20:53I was so ignorant
20:55Will you all feel you're keeping your liquids up?
20:59Go on
21:01Go on
21:10I declare myself...
21:14Enamoured
21:22I think the choice of soft drinks is very sensible the night before a wedding
21:29I'm looking forward to the trifle
21:31I love trifle
21:32Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge
21:34The custard hadn't set yet
21:36Are you serving the bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
21:39I most certainly am
21:43I've also thought of an additional embellishment
21:49Welcome back, sister!
22:14Welcome back, sister!
22:15Hi, I brought Paul
22:20Let me put some peppermints on the tray
22:33Saltfish, ackee, and fried dumpling
22:36You need a proper breakfast inside you today of all days
22:41Thank you for being my witness, Mrs. Wallace
22:43I am not your witness
22:45God is your witness
22:48Even if the wedding is in a registry office
22:52Is that shirt ready, Mrs. Buckle?
22:55Well, I'm not satisfied with the right handcuff
22:57Oh, by the way, Cyril
22:59Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxes with
23:02Muzzy's Mortars
23:03Hm
23:04Just in case there's any problems
23:10Thank you for your patience, ladies
23:12May I present the bride
23:20Pinard to the ready!
23:45Father Hilary is hearing her confession
23:56Will you please repeat after me
23:58I do solemnly declare
24:00That I know not
24:02Of any lawful impediment
24:04Why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford
24:07I do solemnly declare
24:10That I know not
24:11Of any lawful impediment
24:14Why I
24:17Rosalind Anne Clifford
24:18Rosalind Anne Clifford
24:22Rosalind Anne Clifford
24:24May not be joined in matrimony
24:26To thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson
24:29May not be joined in matrimony
24:32To thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson
24:40Through this holy anointing
24:42May the Lord in his love and mercy
24:45Help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit
24:47May the Lord
24:48May the Lord, who frees you from sin
24:51Save you
24:54And raise you up
24:56Amen
24:57Amen
25:01I marry you with this ring
25:04Because you are more precious to me
25:06Than all the God the world contains
25:11And I marry you with this ring
25:14And I marry you with this ring
25:15Because a circle is eternal
25:17And our love will never end
25:25Receive, sister, this food for thy journey
25:28The body of our Lord Jesus Christ
25:31May he preserve thee from the malicious enemy
25:34And bring thee to everlasting life
25:38Amen
25:41Let it drink
25:42Thank you
26:06Let it all get to your ta convenience
26:07Let it in
26:07And then shall we die
26:07We will not자가 agree of
26:07No, we will not be Britt
26:08Yeah, we will notποιhe
26:08Let it out
26:09We will notling
26:19it is quite wonderfully made when I made my vows to Christ we were told a single lily must suffice
26:31I should have liked that better
26:35you are radiant
26:38even among brides
26:42it is the child within you I think
26:46a pearl
26:49like the pearl you wear on your finger
26:53who told you about the child?
26:55it is supposed to be a secret
26:57perhaps as the body fades
27:01the senses grow sharper
27:05I have a gift for your infant
27:08you must not leave without it
27:11the teddy bear?
27:23is this the one like a Joan?
27:25your child is a child of this century
27:30it has both your features in its face
27:35and I delight in it
27:42what does she used to tie to the taxi?
27:44the trouble is there is no taxi
27:46I booked it in advance and there is no sign of it
28:05what's this Fred?
28:06we thought you should have something special
28:30hello love this is mrs mullocks could you get your mum
28:34and tell her it's about Belinda
28:41her hands started to go cold
28:50I'll call Dr Turner
28:52he has to be kept informed
29:00Dad
29:02I keep thinking about Susan
29:05and her legs and her arms
29:09I mean the artificial ones
29:11they just don't work
29:14she has to be pushed
29:16and parked like luggage or something
29:19there's no alternative Barry
29:21we had a talk in college today about electric wheelchairs
29:25electric like you plug it in
29:28no
29:29they have a built in 100 watt motor and rear wheel drive
29:34why don't you tell the society
29:36maybe they can fix it for Susan to try one
29:39do you reckon she could steer an electric one herself?

36:58I want to say how can a heart like her stop beating

38:52just as if she was still with us
39:02just as if she was still with us

39:08i always think that
39:13it's okay sister
39:17you're in good hands
39:30jeffrey
39:32it's time for me to go
39:35where

39:40and you don't want to
39:42choose this
39:43i left because i wanted a child
39:46this
39:49isn't a life that could give me that
39:50i could find you someone who can
39:52there are hordes of suitable men out there
39:55they come charging down the thoroughfares of london like the hun
39:57and i'm a dab hand with a
39:59with a shark net
40:00and with a
40:01a poison dart and a blowpipe
40:03jeffrey

40:18if i go back
40:21i can hold babies every day
40:25love them
40:26every day
40:27and that won't hurt you
40:31not now
40:34because i know the things i dreamed of
40:38weren't meant for me
40:50what does a poor bear do
40:52well
40:53he's one of the people
40:56who helped to carry the coffin
40:58into the church
40:59it's considered to be an honour
41:02especially if the person that died
41:04asked for you
41:05who else did she ask
41:07fred of course
41:09and dr turner and timothy
41:12and cyril
41:13and jeffrey
41:15and she put miss higgins harry down
41:18as a reserve
41:19all the proper men

41:35if you want me to
41:37no
41:38you'd best not

41:44maybe it's best if i leave her here

41:49she'll always be with you
41:51and whenever there's
41:53chutney to be made
41:56costumes cobbled together

42:00happy family times to be had again in the convent parlour
42:04sister veronica
42:05will always be so pleased to see you
42:09and there will be happy family times won't there
42:11yes
42:15don't disappear
42:32i'm not scared of new beginnings sister
42:35i've seen too many babies being born
42:38and you will wait
42:39until we know exactly where we're going
42:41we had a long conversation about waiting once
42:44in the wreckage of a train
42:49waiting is what we do
42:50yes
42:53we'll do this together
42:58and with that
42:59i suppose i ought to pray
43:01i have always left that to the experts
43:09do you have a moment nurse green
43:11i'm having to start
43:13the paperwork to transfer
43:15all of our expectant mother's notes
43:18it's a pleasure to postpone it
43:20i applied for an acting sister's job at St. Cuthbert's
43:23and they've asked me to go for an interview
43:26oh lass
43:27well done
43:29but
43:30it's on the day of the funeral
43:40if you do the interview at the appointed time
43:43you should get to the church before the end
43:46but you don't think that would be disrespectful
43:51reverse
43:54we are burying a woman whose whole life
43:56was defined by her profession
44:00she's probably up there now
44:02putting a word in for you
44:09we are all facing loss
44:10and we are facing change
44:13the death of our sister
44:15and the alteration of our practice
44:16are not linked
44:18but the sadness feels the same
44:20because it is time itself
44:21that has
44:23brought both these things about
44:25i noticed you say
44:27alteration sister julienne
44:29and not closure
44:32sister veronica
44:33sister catherine and i have decided
44:36that nanata's house will become a house
44:38of prayer
44:40and of charity
44:42whilst we discern our next steps
44:44can you say what sort of steps
44:46you might be considering
44:48as we've already discussed with dr turner
44:50there are three potential new medical missions
44:55all of which would involve
44:57at least a year abroad
44:58one of them would be
45:00in the gilbert and ellis islands
45:02one of them would be
45:03in british columbia
45:04and one would be
45:05in a remote part of australia
45:08we ask for your prayers
45:10and
45:12and your patience
45:14and that as many of you
45:15as are able
45:17stay with us
45:18on this journey
45:21all will be well
45:23i promise you
45:27before the cortege
45:28moves on to the church
45:30sister julienne
45:32will read a short verse
45:34at the request of the lady
45:37we are honouring today
45:41the poem is called
45:42the old astronomer talks to his pupil
45:48though my soul
45:49may set in darkness
45:51it will rise in perfect light
45:56i have loved the stars too fondly
46:01to be fearful of the night
46:14thank you gentlemen
46:30nurse highland
46:32sister marcus has provided glowing references
46:36for your recent spell on our wards
46:38but you also have excellent testimonials
46:42from your district work
46:44why do you want to return to a hospital environment
46:47that's not an easy question to answer matron
46:50because it presupposes that my own enjoyment
46:53is the thing that matters
46:55what matters most is the patient
46:58the person who needs my care
46:59indeed
47:00and i feel that going forward
47:03i can give the best of myself to them
47:05in a place that is controlled
47:07and orderly
47:08and concerned with delivering excellence
47:10and you don't feel that you can do that on the district
47:13things will improve i'm sure
47:14but not at the present time
47:19step
47:20step
47:23step
47:25step
47:28step
47:30step
47:30thank you gentlemen
47:32you see the body of our sister monica joan with confidence in god who raised the lord jesus from the
47:38dead
47:53step
47:59the lord jesus from the dead
48:04step
48:04step
48:05step
48:05step
48:05step
48:05Lord, with me abide
48:12When other helpers
48:18Will act unforeseen
48:25Help, mother, help blessed
48:29Home abide with me
48:39Having brought so many new lives into the world
48:44Sister Monica Joan has gone on to a new
48:47Eternal existence of her own
48:52Words about her time on earth seem
48:55So redundant and so small
49:00Will we ever see her like again
49:03I cannot say
49:06But I can say this
49:09She was unique
49:12And yet what we feel as we let her go
49:16Is universal
49:21Because we have lost her
49:25We have lost her
49:29And today as we gather round the emptiness
49:33That she has left behind
49:36That space becomes not a void
49:39But a vessel filled with love
49:44For her and from her
49:48From ourselves
49:50From ourselves
49:50And for each other
49:53We may not know what the future holds
49:57But we can all say
49:58Our lives contained her
50:03And that binds us
50:05For eternity
50:15In paradise
50:19In paradise
50:21In paradise
51:16I've been trying Victoria out since this morning.
51:21Oh, I like it.
51:23Yeah.
51:32Perfect.
51:38Rob, epitome of authority and poise.
51:40Do turn around so I can see the back.
51:44You don't need to see the back, Mr. Scarisbrick.
51:47Because the back has nothing at all to do with what I'm about to tell you.
51:50Well, I'm not expecting any discussion of my offer given your unfortunate family situation.
51:55My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions.
52:00My husband now controls Aylwood Estates and I've been given a seat on the board.
52:04So you're interested in buying a share of the clinic?
52:08I'm not interested in 40%.
52:1155 would be better.
52:13That way there's no confusion.
52:15We all know who's in charge.
52:29Is that Nurse Rosalyn Robinson?
52:32Because she is looking at Sister Joyce Highland.
52:35You got the chance!
52:36Yes!
52:37Oh!
52:39Oh!
52:41Oh!
52:43Ah!
52:43There she is.
52:45You all ready for the big event?
52:46I have an uncomfortably full bladder.
52:49But I believe you're all going to see something quite amazing.
52:53It is quite space age.
53:02I'm sorry they won't let you in.
53:07Now, what you're about to witness is a live examination of the gravid uterus using a method known as B
53:14-mode ultrasonography.
53:15The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen and the returning echoes are converted into an image in
53:25real time.
53:27No radiation, no needles, and no discomfort.
53:31Are you ready, Mother?
53:34Yes, Mr. Parry.
53:58I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party is a delightful way to conclude the old era.
54:07Dr. Turner is greatly relieved that you're staying on as his district nurse.
54:12I think he was afraid that you might retire.
54:15Well, I'm already eligible for my pension, so I could.
54:18But why would I want to?
54:20I love my work.
54:22To give it up would be like resigning from myself.
54:25Likewise.
54:27Look, I suppose one day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore.
54:34But when that comes to pass, I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures.
54:41Dare I ask what you have in mind?
54:45I thought we could set up a detective agency.
54:50I could investigate people via public records and you could use your advanced motorist's credentials to trail them or even
55:03give chase.
55:09But you're wrong.
55:11What are we going to call ourselves?
55:13I think we should play on our spinsterly status, perhaps.
55:18The Miss Adventures Agency?
55:21Miss Alliance.
55:24Misdemeanours.
55:27I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Misdemeanours.
55:31Oh, sorry, everything out.
55:35The Sylvester sauce.
55:37Well, I think how soon we run out of time
55:45Looking back at what I've done in my time
55:51My accomplishments are few
55:57But for my days of loving you
56:04If I've never gone too far in this world
56:11When I might have made my mark in this world
56:18If I had better things to do
56:21If I had my days of loving you
56:30Let the others go their way
56:37Seeking more and more
56:43Give me just one yesterday
56:50Filled with love like yours
56:56I have nothing to regret in this life
57:03I've had all worries to get in this life
57:10Once I lived a dream come true
57:16I have my days of loving you
57:26There have always been goodbyes at Nonada's house
57:32And there have always been endings
57:35Year after year
57:37There have always been some drawing down of blinds
57:42Some closing of doors
57:44Some waving away of voyages and exiles
57:49We have grieved because there was no love without pain
57:54And we survived because the love was always greater
58:04There will always be another chapter
58:07And more change
58:09The world is forever evolving
58:13And the winds are sometimes cold
58:16But it is what we carry safe within us
58:21That will stay the same
58:25Hope is the pearl inside the oyster
58:28The seed in its sacred ask
58:31Hidden in the sweet dark earth
58:34Until the spring comes
58:40Thanks for that
58:40I think we will fight
58:41And we are coming
