00:30A harvest marks a moment of arrival, something fresh has been prized from the earth, something new has been given
00:40or begun, and we marvel at what has been delivered, not thinking yet of all that is to come, or
00:48must again be worked for.
00:50Now, this is the moment to wrap up in ribbons, a time to savour without sowing seeds of doubt.
01:11Can I help you, honey?
01:12She's about to have the baby.
01:14We think, I just keep getting this.
01:16Oh, here it comes again.
01:17We'll get you inside in a moment.
01:22The blood samples were sent in two weeks ago.
01:25Sister Monica Joan, OSRN, also known as Antonia Kevil, miss.
01:32Very well, we shall do the tests again.
01:36The level of disregard for the comfort and convenience of an elderly patient is unforgivable.
01:44I don't know what that ice cream van's doing.
01:48Mrs. Bianchi's having some strong peers.
01:50We're going to get her settled and take a look at her.
01:52Oh, they're lasting a minute each.
01:54And how often are they coming?
01:57Well, I don't know.
01:59Am I meant to write them all down?
02:00Is that by any chance your ice cream van parked outside, Mr. Bianchi?
02:04Yes, it is.
02:05I only got it last summer.
02:07Best ice cream in Poplar.
02:08Guaranteed.
02:09I'm sure it is.
02:10But at the present moment, we're more interested in delivering babies than ice cream.
02:15Would you mind turning off the music?
02:18Oh, sorry.
02:27What do you want me to do with these, then?
02:30Mm-hmm.
02:32I'll take the run of beans.
02:34We can have those with the chops I've planned.
02:36Everything else can go to the harvest festival.
02:39What?
02:39Even the marrows?
02:41They would have won first prize in the multicultural show if I'd have been ready in time.
02:45They're bigger than toddlers' legs, Fred.
02:48And I haven't the time to be stuffing them with mints and making a white sauce.
02:55I'll take them to the nurse's house, then.
02:57The children will march from there to the church in a procession.
03:01Your produce will be widely admired.
03:06You're not in labour just yet, honey.
03:08These are just what we call Braxton Hicks contractions.
03:11It's your buddy rehearsing for the routine.
03:13I feel a bit of a fool now.
03:16And it's taking Tony away from his van.
03:18That van's our whole livelihood now I've stopped working.
03:21Have I missed it?
03:22Oh, it's all right.
03:23Yes, you have.
03:24It was a false alarm.
03:29Good job you never told no-one.
03:31I'll get me leg pulled something rotten.
03:37Is there anything you need taking to the post office, sister?
03:39Thank you.
03:40I'm rather more concerned about a letter I took to the post office two weeks ago.
03:44The one you wrote to the Board of Health?
03:46Yes.
03:47Telling them we would close Nanata's house if we were no longer allowed to work as Christian missionaries.
03:54I expected a response from them at the very least.
03:57It's entirely likely that they're playing games, keeping you waiting because you kept them waiting.
04:02One would hope they were above such a pettiness when there is so much at stake.
04:10Come on, let's go, Mateo.
04:12Come on, this way.
04:17Idiot!
04:18You took her in too early.
04:19Hey, bro, you coming to football tonight?
04:21I don't know, Mateo.
04:23I'm not really in the mood.
04:24You stop coming to football, you stop coming swimming.
04:27You need to make the most of your freedom while you've got it.
04:31Come on, let's go.
04:32You got everything?
04:33Let's go.
04:34See you, baby brother.
04:35You got the bag?
04:38I do not have unlimited quantities of corpucular matter in my veins.
04:44Sister, you're a nurse.
04:45You know as well as I do that blood replenishes itself.
04:50And we need to get to the bottom of what ails you.
04:53We all know what ails me.
04:56I am merely ancient and presumed frail as a consequence.
05:03Sister, I have five minutes before I leave on my rounds.
05:07Would you like me to move the television into your room?
05:09Do you suppose I'm at the point of expiry?
05:13There is no reason to treat me as an invalid, as the analysis of my blood will testify.
05:26Ladies and gentlemen, the doors to tonight's wrestling in the main hall will open in five minutes.
05:53I've learned so much about deferment since I gave up drink.
05:58I've learned you can bear anything if you pretend it's forever.
06:03I can postpone.
06:05I can wait.
06:07But putting things off until tomorrow doesn't always work.
06:11Because what if tomorrow never comes?
06:16I've been postponing a decision for a long time now.
06:23Come on!
06:24Come on!
06:26No!
06:30No!
06:31No!
06:32No!
06:34No!
06:35No!
06:37No!
06:38No!
06:39No!
06:40No!
06:41What do you feel, Tony?
06:43It's not a decision about drink, it's a decision about work...
06:49..and work is my other addiction.
06:53Is there a doctor in here, anyone?
06:55I'm a nurse.
06:57That'll do.
06:57It's a concussion.
07:01You're staging sporting events.
07:03You're legally obliged to have medical help on the premises.
07:05No hay nada, no hay obligaciones de legal, y esto es her, Harmony Savage.
07:11Hola, Harmony, soy una nurse.
07:14Estoy sorry que has sido hurt.
07:16Occupationalisered.
07:17¿Dónde perdonar la consciencia o permanece en tu alrededor?
07:20No, nunca fui para, solo me meto en un poco de un show.
07:25Punto es así.
07:27I've got to go back out, finish your job.
07:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
07:34no, no, no, no, no.
07:34Brenda the Butcher won fair and square.
07:39You'll have gone to give out the prize money.
07:42If you can't be absolutely sure that you weren't knocked out,
07:47I really think you ought to go to the casualty department.
07:50I'm going to go home to bed.
07:53Oh, hello, sweetie.
07:58Who's this?
07:59Carl, my boy.
08:01He comes to all my fights.
08:04Come on.
08:05Let's pack up and get you in the van.
08:07You really must not drive after blacking out.
08:10However briefly.
08:12Any better ideas.
08:15I know it was a false alarm to that heap, but...
08:20It made me think how real all this is.
08:25How we've made a proper grown-up life.
08:29You do go on.
08:32It's like being the baby of the family gave you a great big chip on your shoulder.
08:36No, it wasn't that.
08:38It was being the one who is no good at all the things the others did.
08:43It's not your fault you weren't cut out for the tiling trade.
08:48Besides, I'd rather have a bit of soft scoop than a hundred yards of mosaic flooring.
08:54Come on, light's up.
08:56What's that?
08:57Oh, nothing.
08:59Tony, there's blood on your singlet.
09:02What is it?
09:03Show me.
09:09Oh, how long have you had this?
09:12Oh, wow.
09:15I'll put a plaster on it.
09:17You will not.
09:19In the morning, I'm ringing the doctor.
09:30Out with it.
09:36Wrestling was all I knew, even as a little girl.
09:39My dad was Bert Savage, the Lamb of Panther.
09:42God rest him.
09:43I used to watch him every time he fought.
09:45It's rather wonderful that you followed in his footsteps.
09:48It would be even more wonderful if it were legal.
09:50There's a whole AD circuit up north, just as legitimate as the men's,
09:53but in London, we're outlaws.
09:55I really would like you to be seen by a doctor if at all possible harmony.
09:59Oh, my real name's Gwen.
10:02Thanks for seeing us home.
10:05Come on, little Lynn.
10:18I've given up doing sports and everything.
10:22It's so unsightly.
10:26I probably just banged it.
10:29Oh.
10:31It looks like a sebaceous cyst to me.
10:35Antibiotics will take the edge off it,
10:37but I think it needs to be removed.
10:39Oh, I got a baby through any day.
10:42All the more reason to get it out of the way.
10:44I'll call St. Cuthbert's myself.
10:57Now, that is a bird's song I can easily identify.
11:02The lesser spotted buck.
11:05Oh, sister, how are you keeping?
11:08I'm keeping on.
11:10If a little more desiccated with every week the passes.
11:16Perhaps I should not linger,
11:19lest you sweep me up with all the other dead leaves.
11:23I've got a bag of doughnuts in my shed.
11:26Would they cheer you up a bit?
11:27Are they jam-filled?
11:29No, they're the ones with the holes in.
11:31Then I will forego them.
11:32Do you detect a chill in the breeze today?
11:36I reckon I felt the first nip.
11:38Well, I like it when the seasons start to turn, though.
11:43That time of year, the maest in me behold
11:46When yellow leaves, or none or few
11:50Do hang upon those boughs that shake with cold
11:56Bare ruined choirs
12:00Where late the sweet birds sang
12:03In me thou seest the twilight of such day
12:08As after sunset fadeth in the west
12:12Which by and by, like night, doth take away
12:18Death's second self
12:21That seals up all in rest
12:40Sister Monica Joan
12:42What's brought this on?
12:47Time, Mr. Buckle
12:50Its passage and its sheer
12:53Weary accumulation
12:57Would you like a cup of tea?
13:00If you will sit and take one with me
13:07Well, Miss Savage
13:14I'm not seeing anything that needs further tests
13:18Any other bumps or bruises you'd like me to look at?
13:20I've got a rash
13:21It keeps coming up sort of on the back of my shoulder
13:25If you just slip your blouse off, dear
13:28I don't believe I've ever met a lady wrestler before
13:31I imagine it's quite physically taxing
13:35I call over sometimes, fight or no fight
13:48I think I know what this is
13:50It's a skin virus called herpes gladiatorum
13:55Gladiator, like in Spartacus?
13:57I love a bit of Kirk Douglas
13:59Don't we all
14:01I'm afraid this comes from grazing your skin on grubby canvas in the ring
14:06Your best bet is to wash it daily with medicated soap
14:09And bathe the blisters in salt water
14:12Can I do that with my hips and my knees?
14:14Do you have a rash there as well?
14:16No, we just hurt all the time
14:18Miss Savage, are you able to take a break from your work for a while?
14:22No, I've got mouths to feed
14:23Mine and my little boys
14:32I've been looking forward to this moment all day
14:35I popped on the market and bought myself a new pair of slippers for the winter
14:43I never knew you could love a bit of sheepskin on your feet till I came to live in England
14:48Me neither
14:50I'm sorry, child
14:52You're all wrapped up in something?
14:55I'm trying to work out exactly when I started taking a pill
14:59Calculated against the number of actual pills you have to take before it protects you
15:04And why is that?
15:05I've never missed a single one
15:09I'm wondering if it's thrown my hormones out of whack
15:11I mean, it can do that, can't it?
15:14Child, the whole point of the pill is to throw your hormones out of whack
15:18That's how it stops you getting pregnant
15:21Are you late?
15:24I've been late before
15:26And things just sort of corrected themselves
15:31That would have been before you had a boyfriend
15:35Do you think you need to do it to us?
15:38No
15:39Not yet
15:46Do you want to attack? Do you want to give up?
15:48You sure?
15:49No
15:50No
15:51No
15:51No
15:51No
15:52No
15:52No
16:00No

16:06No
16:08No
16:08No

16:11No

16:18Devin
16:38¿Estás sentado?
16:40Esto no es bueno, pero vamos a hacer un test.
16:44Voy a ayudar.
16:45No quiero nadie saber.

21:30No.
21:30No.
21:34¿Qué es la Monika Joan?
21:37Estaba sabiendo que era algo que pudiera ser tratado.
21:41Pero la enfermedad de la enfermedad de la enfermedad es...
21:43¿Algo que toma gente gente, pero muy bien?
21:48Pero lo que toma.
21:50¿Cuánto tiempo ha sido ella con esto?
21:52No, no.
21:56¿Cuánto tiempo ha sido?
21:59La misma.
22:02No, no.
22:02Unless we can persuade her to accept what treatment there is...
22:06...she'll progress to end-stage renal failure fairly quickly.
22:12Till that day comes...
22:14...we'll just have to love her as we always have.
22:17But a bit more carefully.
22:25You look happy.
22:28Today is a happy day.
22:31I got a letter from the solicitor.
22:33The decree absolute.
22:35I'm officially a single man.
22:39Everything we do now is ours.
22:42Our choice to make.
22:44The Board of Health requested a meeting.
22:46I told them your diary was full, but they were most insistent...
22:50...it's in your diary for Friday.
22:51Okay, thank you.
22:53I anticipate the usual fun and games.
22:56I need to see Anthony Bianchi.
23:00I've just had his histopathology results through from the hospital.
23:03Should I make an appointment for him?
23:06No.
23:07I'll call in on him today.
23:10We told you the truth.
23:12Sister Veronica is on retreat.
23:14You told us she had gone on retreat to the mother house.
23:17She would need her cross in the mother house.
23:19She would need her shoes.
23:20Our sister needed our discretion.
23:23And I gave that willingly and with love.
23:25I'm sorry if you feel that you should have been informed.
23:31I'm sorry if I have been arrogant in thinking I deserved an explanation.
23:38I can't tell you everything.
23:39Too much of it is personal to her.
23:41But I can say she is struggling with her vows.
23:44And has been given leave of absence for a while.
23:49She's staying at the Oliver Christian Retreat Centre at Gravesend.
23:54Alone.
23:56Without anyone she knows.
23:58Or any friends to support her.
24:02Sister.
24:04Out of all of us.
24:05Sister Veronica emits the most love.
24:09She needs the most love.
24:11She does not know what she needs or wants.
24:14And that is why she has had to go away.
24:21Morning.
24:24Have you come to see Tina?
24:26Mr Bianchi.
24:27We've come to see you.
24:32I can't have breast cancer.
24:36It's a women's disease.
24:38We know all about that because his mum died of it.
24:42I know.
24:45She was a lovely lady.
24:47And even in the five years since she passed away we've learned so much about it.
24:54But I can't have it.
24:57I'm a man.
24:59It is rare in men, especially for someone of your age.
25:03But it's not unheard of.
25:05Everyone has breast tissue, Tony.
25:08Men and women.
25:10We have less of it but it only takes a couple of cells to go rogue and a tumour can
25:18start to develop.
25:18I have had some specialist training and there are new treatments and new approaches to surgery.
25:35Should I have done something sooner when I first felt the lump?
25:38We are going to focus on the future now, Tony.
25:42And we are going to be with you every step of the way.
25:48I don't care whereabouts in your body it is.
25:52You've got the big C.
25:53We have to face up to it.
25:55We can face up to it together.
25:57We have to face up to it together without telling people.
26:00What is that going to achieve, Tony?
26:03You need help.
26:05You need love.
26:08Tina.
26:10I need...
26:12dignity.
26:15I need to feel like a man.
26:19There's a bike for sale.
26:25Maybe for your birthday.
26:27I...
26:27If you're in your next fight.
26:33Here.
26:38Yes?
26:40Doctor.
26:42Gwen Savage's records arrive from her previous practice.
26:45She's been suffering with tiredness and joint pain for five years.
26:49Did the blood test we did show anything?
26:52Nothing at all conclusive.
26:54It's just markers for minor inflammation, slightly low white blood count.
27:01Could the pain relate to the wrestling?
27:03I saw in the ring and it's incredibly physical.
27:05But an impact injury would be on one side, not both.
27:11It's as though I'm missing something.
27:14I never liked that.
27:16They said those Braxton Hicks pains was my body tuning up for the baby to be born.
27:21I got used to him, but they've got worse since I found out Tony isn't well.
27:26You've an immense amount to contend with at the moment, but baby's head is engaged, Tina.
27:31I really don't think you'll have very long to wait.
27:35Oh, this reading is just a little bit higher than I'd like.
27:41We can't have anything else go wrong.
27:43Nothing's going to go wrong.
27:45But I do want you to come over to the maternity home with me, so Dr. Turner can take a
27:51look at you.
28:05Any chance of a 99?
28:07I've an elderly friend, might like a bit of a pick-ne-up.
28:11What's the matter, pal?
28:16Brian?
28:20You ain't put me down for a single match.
28:24I can't afford to promote wrestlers who keep losing.
28:26I can raise my game.
28:28My dad used to say, aim up, things will look up.
28:32Your dad was one of the best there ever was.
28:34The Lamb of Panther was revered.
28:38Look, all I can offer you right now is the adult fixtures.
28:41Oh, no, no.
28:42Adult fixtures is one step away from stripping, Brian.
28:45I keep it clean.
28:46It's a place down Deptford where they roll about in jelly.
28:50Girls earn 30 quid about.
28:5130 quid?
28:53I pay 20.
28:57Bring your own bikini.
29:08Usually Tina reads stuff for me, but I don't want to worry all this.
29:12There's going to be further surgery and a radiography assessment.
29:24We're going to have to stop working.
29:26It won't be for long.
29:28You've got a family to support you.
29:31I've only just proved to him that I'm a man.
29:34I'm making a go of the van, earning my own living.
29:37And now I've got a woman's disease.
29:39They can't provide.
29:43I'm telling him nothing.
29:51Geoffrey Franklin?
29:53Mr. Franklin, it's Sister Catherine from Nunata's house.
29:57It's about Sister Veronica.
30:01And I'm calling you in confidence.
30:05I see.
30:06I don't like leaving you on your own, Tony.
30:10Don't be daft.
30:12I'm fine.
30:14Hey, look.
30:18Got my appointment through already.
30:21Nothing to be done till then.
30:24It's you and the baby we need to think about now.
30:29Well, I...
30:29Just promise me...
30:32You'll tell your brothers.
30:36I promise.
30:42You'll need to take these diuretics first thing in the morning,
30:46as you don't want to be up all hours of the night.
30:48We can bring the commode into your room.
30:51The commode will not be entertained.
30:53You may come to revise that opinion.
30:56Your tone is brisk,
30:59given that my days are numbered.
31:04Everybody's days are numbered, Sister.
31:07Mine as well as yours,
31:09one way and another.
31:14But you may be going on for quite a long time.
31:19Possibly feeling slightly better than you have done.
31:22Given that we know what ails you now.
31:26Maybe I do not care to go on for...
31:30quite a long time.
31:32Let's see how we do, shall we?
31:35With these diuretics.
31:53Carl?
32:03Carl?
32:15We'll proceed with a full mastectomy of your right breast.
32:19We'll remove the breast tissue, along with the lymph nodes and the pectoralis major muscle.
32:27I don't want to do this.
32:29I promise you scarring will be minimal.
32:31And at least you won't be having to deal with foam rubber falsies like my lady patients.
32:43Come on, where are you?
32:56Can I help you?
32:57I'm Carl Salvage's mum.
32:58Is he here because if he's not...
33:01Carl Salvage.
33:02I've just checked every member of his class for a headlace, including him.
33:05Oh, thank God.
33:07Thank God.
33:08Do you want to go in and speak with him?
33:10Gwen, what's happened?
33:12I couldn't wake up this morning.
33:13Carl took himself to school.
33:16It's the worst I've ever felt.
33:18What's this on your face, Gwen?
33:20It's like this all the time.
33:21I cover it with pan stick, usually.
33:41You waiting for your wife?
33:43My husband says he can't stand the smell of this place.
33:47Drops me at the door and waits in the pub.
33:51Mr. Bianchi?
33:55Is this ever itchy or sore?
33:58No.
33:59And it's never all blisters like the one on my back.
34:01It's more like a sunburn.
34:03You've been covering it up with pan stick because it's such a strange sheet.
34:07Like a butterfly.
34:11That herpes gladiatorum on your back was a complete red herring.
34:15This is what leads us to your diagnosis.
34:18Have you ever heard of a condition called lupus?
34:22Nobody in your family has ever had it?
34:24Or mentioned it?
34:25No.
34:26Do you think that's what I've got?
34:28This rash is so distinctive.
34:31I'd put money on it as a diagnosis.
34:33How long will it take to get rid of it?
34:35It's going to be about management rather than cure.
34:39But I promise you we can get you feeling better.
34:43Can't be cured.
34:44But I need to win matches again.
34:47Gwen, you are too unwell to fight.
34:53Tony, thank God I've been worried sick.
34:56How'd it go at the hospital?
34:57It was all fine.
35:00Your doctor's very pleased with me.
35:02Oh, really?
35:04So, um, what happens next?
35:06What treatment are they giving you?
35:08So many pills I'll be rattling.
35:12The important thing is that you are getting some rest.
35:16Not worrying yourself, silly.
35:18I'm not now.
35:18I've heard your voice.
35:20I love your voice.
35:22I only ever get to talk on the phone.
35:26Because we've been together all the time.
35:28And we'll be together again soon.
35:55I love you, Bob.
35:57I love you, Bob.
35:58Come on.
35:58Let's go down.
35:59I'll finish the hour.
36:00We'll do it.
36:00I love you, Bob.
36:01Oh, God.
36:09Come on.
36:16Beryl burrows as I live and breathe.
36:24Do tell me you're en route to a harvest festival with that dreary swag
36:28Because at the very least it would provoke a degree of fellow feeling in me
36:32I'm on potato peeling duty
36:35There's a rotor in the retreat house
36:37Stop, stop, before you completely break my heart
36:41I come here almost every day
36:43Sometimes I have an eclair
36:45When the fancy takes me, I have a cream split
36:48You get a cherry on a cream split
36:51And there's this little burst of flavour when you bite it
36:56Tell me you've eaten fish and chips in the street too, in broad daylight
36:59Why?
37:01Although sometimes it feels as though it's the things I don't do
37:06That tell me more about where I am now
37:08Or where I might go next
37:10What don't you do?
37:13I don't pray
37:15I came here to pray
37:16Or at least to decide what I ought to be praying for
37:21But I can't
37:22And do you know why?
37:24It's not different enough to the convent, Beryl
37:27And all the snatched patisserie in the world
37:30Can't disguise the fact that you are still living the same sort of half-life
37:34Trapped underneath a similar, godly, bell jar
37:39And how do you propose a change that?
37:42Come and stay with me
37:43Geoffrey
37:45I am still technically a nun
37:48I can't live with a man
37:50You could lodge with a kindly confirmed bachelor
38:00You've missed two appointments at the hospital, Tony
38:04Do you have anyone to talk to?
38:07Your brothers, perhaps?
38:10I can't
38:11I can't
38:14Not with it being, you know
38:15Breast cancer
38:17It's so humiliating
38:19I can hear him now
38:22A typical Tony
38:26Doctor Turner and I delivered a baby at the maternity home last week
38:30And the mother asked if the older brother could come in and meet him
38:34We placed the baby in his little arms and he was awestruck
38:41This was his brother
38:45He promised right then and there to teach him everything he knew
38:50All his best fighting moves
38:51A cat gun was mentioned
38:53And something about which jelly babies tasted best
38:59Green ones
39:02According to Enzo
39:04Always gave me the green ones
39:06Brothers look after each other, Tony
39:10I've seen it with my own boys
39:14Right now she'll be moaning about me
39:18She'll be looking after Tina
39:20Doctor Turner says she can come home if you're feeling up to it
39:24Of course I'm feeling up to it
39:32Something tells me something's gonna happen tonight
39:37I read in the papers that Gemma and our people will make it tonight
39:45Stars will be shining, my signs aligning with love
39:52So come on and make it, let's take everything that we've been dreaming of
40:00Something tells me something's gonna happen to you
40:26You stay in the dressing room tonight, promise?
40:30Promise?
40:31And if I win
40:33You'll get that bike
40:34My precious boy
40:59You're keeping up with us, peppermints, child?
41:01I'm first on call tonight and I still feel quite queasy
41:04But it's not just in the morning
41:07Maybe the pill itself doesn't agree with me
41:11I popped into the surgery when no one was there to check on your results
41:16I think we need to have a talk
41:23I can't seem to get comfortable
41:27My back is killing me
41:32Right, Tony, the sheets are wet
41:38Do you think your walls have broken?
41:40I thought they'd be more of a whoosh
41:44Oh, I don't feel right, Tony
41:52Joyce, what am I going to do?
41:54The pill was supposed to be foolproof
41:56Honey, the pill was invented by man and is taken by women
42:01It's always going to be subject to human error
42:04I will lose my job
42:06I will have to tell my parents and I hardly speak to them as it is
42:09It's because they don't approve of Cyril
42:11What? I approve of Cyril
42:12He is a good man and he will support you
42:15Whatever you choose to do
42:17Choose to do?
42:21Joyce, I'm not even going to consider an abortion
42:25That's why it's so hard
42:28That's why I'm going to get the sack
42:30Talk to Cyril
42:32You've got time before you have to tell anybody else
42:35And I will cover for you in any way I can
42:41Thank you
42:43You have enough of peppermint and wash your face
42:53Gentlemen, please take your seats for tonight's Tina
42:55You will need Steamy Bikini extravaganza of advice
43:04Nanata's house, midwife speaking
43:05I'm ringing up about Tina Bianchi
43:08We think she's gone into labour
43:10I've been timing them, they're two minutes apart
43:15Rosalyn?
43:17Rosalyn, come quickly
43:1815, 20
43:20As promised
43:22Putting a good show for the gents, were you girls?
43:25They like a bit of hair pulling
43:28Hair pulling's an illegal move
43:30It's not an illegal game though, is it Gwen?
43:33Who's going to complain?
43:35Don't do this Gwen, please
43:37What are you doing here?
43:38You're putting yourself in real danger if you fight tonight
43:40Your body is severely weakened from lupus
43:43And your chances of getting injured are high
43:45And what would Carl do then?
43:46Look, if you're not going to fight
43:47You can hand that money back right now
44:17A midwife is on her way
44:19And I'm going to stay with you
44:21On the end of this phone until she gets there
44:25She keeps saying she wants to push
44:28Tell her to blow
44:29Tell her to blow as if she's blowing out candles
44:32Tina, don't push
44:33Blow
44:34Blow
44:36Blow
44:38Yeah, that's it
44:39Do it with me
44:50You punch her
44:51I said no punch
45:04Do you want to tap?
45:06Do you want to give up?
45:09Tony, I need you to describe exactly what you can see
45:12I don't know what I can see
45:17I think it might be the baby's head
45:24I don't know what I can see
45:28I don't know what I can see
45:35I don't know what I can see
45:37I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:38I don't know what I can see
45:41I don't know what I can see
45:45I don't know what I can see
45:53Can you hear me? Gwen? Gwen? Call for an ambulance. Quickly!
46:04Mr. Bianchi, you need to get ready to deliver this baby yourself. But you must not hang up. Do you
46:10hear me?
46:22Oh, I can see. I can see the egg. It's sort of moving around. I can see its face.
46:29Good. Now, very gently place your hands under its head.
46:33Wait for the next big contraction and guide the body out.
46:37Don't pull.
46:38There's something blue wrapped around its neck. Is that supposed to be there?
46:41It's the cord. All you have to do is slip your finger underneath it and lift it over the baby's
46:47head.
46:47It should slide off quite easily.
46:55Have you managed to move it?
46:57It works. It's off.
47:14It's a boy's here.
47:39You did it, Tony. You delivered our son.
47:45It's lucky.
47:50Well, someone was in a hurry to get into the world.
47:55Wait till we tell all your uncles about this.
48:03There's you.
48:05There's my boy.
48:10You were lucky you didn't cause any more damage to your body.
48:13At least I got the rent money out of it.
48:16Gwen, the hospital are asking who will be looking after Carl whilst you're in here.
48:20They're willing to talk to social services.
48:22I bet they are.
48:23Social services will take him off me.
48:25I'm sure that isn't the case.
48:27But, Gwen, you're treading a dangerous path in London, even if your health allowed you to keep on fighting.
48:36There are alternatives, just as there's alternatives to keeping your money in a cushion cover.
48:42And you've got to tell me what they are.
48:45Because I'd listen to you.
48:48You've told me you know what it is to find things hard.
48:57Another one for the footy team.
48:59A striker.
49:00My turn now.
49:01My turn.
49:02Oh, careful.
49:03Look at my last.
49:04Oh.
49:07Mrs. Turner's just helping Tina to freshen up.
49:10And then Master Bianchi needs to have his lunch.
49:13The nail papa did a good job on his own then, Doctor.
49:16Not many people could deliver their own son single-handed.
49:20But Tony did.
49:21Yeah.
49:23This man, hmm?
49:25He's a proper man.
49:27He certainly is.
49:29And I salute him.
49:33Bravo.
49:40Let's.
49:44Something's come up.
49:46That I'm...
49:49not going to be able to do single-handed.
49:55I've got cancer.
50:14I've got cancer.
50:14Oh, Tony.
50:19I wish Mumma was here.
50:25No.
50:36You are the best of us, little brother.
50:39Well, we will not let you go.
51:00We will not let you go.
51:09I spoke to the surgery Gwen
51:11All your records will be sent to the new GP we found for you up north
51:14Thanks nurse
51:16I've got to start looking after myself now
51:18Haven't I
51:19She's not going to be a rusher anymore
51:21I know
51:23Would you like a hand putting that in the van
51:25Or are you planning on peddling all the way to Blackpool
51:27Thanks nurse
51:33And thanks for the advice
51:35It's like a bold move taking a job in a gym
51:38Training other women
51:41But it's legal in Lancashire Gwen
51:44And you won't be exploited
51:45It will give your body time to recover
51:47And my dad would like it
51:49Good old Lamb of Panther and his contacts
52:21Oh I came home from a lunch hour
52:23Do you want to go for a walk?
52:24No
52:26I'm afraid I don't
52:28It seems you made a decent fist
52:31At moving your weekly clinic onto hospital premises
52:34Yes
52:35There was some grumbling from patients about bus fares
52:39But I think we're on an even keel
52:41Good
52:42Because speaking scientist to scientist
52:44And to paraphrase our friend Charles Darwin
52:47It is not necessarily the strongest or most intelligent
52:51Of any given species that survives
52:53It's the one most adaptable to change
52:56I know that
52:58And I know I can't look after my patients properly
53:01If I don't to Dan
53:02A very good attitude to have
53:05Which is why we're placing you front and centre of our plans
53:10And closing you down
53:16Closing us down?
53:17Not as a GP
53:18Although you'll probably want to join forces with someone else now
53:22There are real incentives for group practices
53:26But the council are not going to renew the licence for the maternity home
53:32But the licence runs out in a matter of weeks
53:37It's always been renewed as a formality
53:39This is the brave new world Turner
53:42There is no always anymore
53:44There isn't even an always for me
53:46The council will have to hand everything over to the National Health
53:49But while you still have power you're doing this
53:53To us and to Nanata's house
53:57Nanata's house
53:59They were forever outliers
54:01And eccentric
54:03Threatwood
54:04What is the logic in all of this?
54:08How is it going to benefit the patients?
54:11I knew you'd say that
54:12And it's why we chose to put you at the vanguard
54:17No matter what goes on somewhere far away in the offices of Whitehall
54:20There will always be patients
54:25And you say that as though it's a problem
54:32I'm so sorry Cyril
54:35You wanted to take responsibility
54:37But I was absolutely certain
54:40That nothing could be better than this magnificent wonder drug
54:43That gave me control over my own body
54:45We both agreed it was what we wanted
54:48That it would let us have other things we wanted
54:52And wanted very much
54:55We just didn't want this
54:56Did we?
54:59I think
55:02That it's something that has happened a little out of order
55:06But I wouldn't have taken you to bed if I didn't mean to marry you
55:10And I always meant to marry you
55:13And build a life with you
55:15And building a life with you
55:18Means more than just rings and mortgages
55:21And bricks and mortar
55:25Did you ever close your eyes and try to see our children?
55:31I see our children every day
55:33With my eyes wide open
55:36I see them crossing the street in popular
55:39Or swinging on the swing down at the wreck
55:41And I think
55:44We could have a little boy like that one
55:47Or that little girl has a smile like hers
55:55I thought I'd have to be patient
55:57And I'm not very good at being patient
56:01I would not say patience has been our distinguishing characteristic
56:07And now it doesn't have to be
56:14There is no good harvest
56:17If there's been no rain
56:19The earth requires it
56:22And so do we
56:23For how else does the heart grow?
56:27Not through relentless sunshine
56:30Nor under a cloudless sky
56:33Life expands
56:36Not in spite of the weather
56:38But because of it
56:40Thus we are nourished
56:42We take root
56:44We are taught how to endure
56:48But there are times when the soul is hungry
56:52When fruit falls to the ground
56:55And we cannot tell if it's a blessing or temptation
56:59There are times when we know nothing
57:04Nothing at all
57:05Not yet
57:08And so it seems that if we go down
57:11We all go down together
57:14The council have written to me
57:17Confirming
57:19That the maternity home will close
57:21And assuming that
57:23We too will now cease operations
57:28Do we have any say in this?
57:32A present
57:34It seems not
57:38Sometimes change is for the better
57:40What do you mean, mayor to midwife?
57:42We need to cause alarm
57:44And now our maternity home is closing down
57:46Susan was affected by thalidomide
57:48The council are not going to give
57:50Lenata's house any more money
57:52But the treatment is working
57:53It is not treatment
57:54It is merely postponing all that is to come
58:02Nobody's going to give birth
58:02Until next time
58:02Bye
58:26Gracias por ver el video.
