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 to what is certain
00:52Home
00:52The hearth
00:53The family
00:54Born
00:55Or found
00:56Places 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?
01:28You'll be an unmarried mother
01:30Rhoda
01:31The 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 Aylwood
01:46Would you consider entering into partnership with me?
01:51Partnership?
01:52I intend to semi-retire
01:53And I thought that 40% ownership of the Lady Emily might appeal
01:59With the backing of the Aylwood estate, of course
02:02I'm afraid I don't have access to the Aylwood estate capital
02:06Mr. Scarisbrick
02:07And neither does my husband
02:09Everything is under the control of my mother-in-law
02:11Lavinia
02:12Ah, of course
02:14Dear, difficult Lavinia
02:16I remember her from our dancing days
02:19Nevertheless, I would like you to at least
02:22Consider the offer
02:23Perhaps you could put your wiles to work
02:29Hey, look
02:30You've got to calm down, alright?
02:32And you've got to 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 out a problem
02:40I didn't do this as part of the family, Dad
02:42I did it on my own
02:43And you're funded
02:44It was fantastic
02:47While it lasted
02:54Hey
02:56This isn't your fault
02:59Hey
03:00Or beautiful
03:09Oh, peril
03:11I thought we had mice
03:13Which aren't unheard of even 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
03:25I'll swap you with this candlewick
03:27Tomorrow
03:28No
03:35Sister
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
03:56And now I will stop
03:59Out with respect
04:08Good morning
04:11Rosalind, I went on an early morning excursion to a number of news stations
04:16And bought bridal magazines in 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
04:59To say that their elder daughter is expecting and in need of our attention
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
05:35The symptoms will speak for themselves
05:38Thank you, Doctor
05:39I'll keep you informed as things unfold
05:42Thank you
05:45Dr Turner, I have just received the most infuriating communication from Central Supplies
05:50Asking you for the return of every item 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
06:10Until the last mother and baby go out of those doors
06:12We've included this entirely spurious list of items
06:15Headed 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
06:36Send 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
06:52And 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
07:02And I'll make enquiries about a home health
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 for 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, begging to be squeezed in
07:26I have to say, I could fill your brother's diary twice over
07:29And there'd still be people weeping at the gates
07:32I was thinking you might like to have a weekly clinic at the Lady Emily
07:35When I start as matron there
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
07:47Not 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 in 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
09:42Can I fetch you some other nice fruit from the market?
09:45I would like you to summon someone from this establishment
09:52Albion and Sons is an undertaker
09:54And 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
10:08And 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
10:20So much
10:22It filled my every aching moment
10:25My every waking thought
10:28But now
10:32I've started my menopause
10:36I've left it all too late
10:43I'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'd think
10:55You 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
11:09Sometimes I only remembered she was different
11:12When I saw other people's faces
11:13She 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
11:44I was wanted
11:45That I was special
11:47I was just so
11:50Thrilled
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?
12:04Phillip Perry
12:05That son of yours is she?
12:08Keeping 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 John
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 ritual 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
13:04Oh
13:05Oh
13:09Red!
13:11Red!
13:13What's the matter, Sister?
13:15Sister Monica Joan has asked for the wheelchair
13:17Oh, blimey
13:18Is it still in the shed?
13:23I've been using it to transport compost
13:26I thought she'd approve of that
13:35No, not his house, midwife 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
13:44Sis, 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
14:43I recall that now
14:46While Mildred said afterwards
14:47Don't you ever charge her for bananas again
14:51How about a few chris-hamps, Sister?
14:54Thank 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. Mollocks?
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. Mollocks
16:14I am leaving Poplar
16:16And it is my home
16:22Has there ever been a greater indicator
16:25Of a shotgun wedding status
16:26Than a hastily buttercreamed vanilla sponge?
16:31Pick your nozzle
16:33I'll do the small rosettes
16:34You 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
16:42When I was a nun
16:43I was always sat on the sidelines
16:46Now not a nun
16:48However 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
17:03And 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
17:15You'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 really stitches out?
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 you were 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
18:34Are supposed to welcome the end
18:36When it is offered to us
18:41I 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
18:56When 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
19:36As I see you now
19:41And 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
19:55Tomorrow
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
20:10Just stay with our sister now
20:11I won't leave her for a moment
20:15Oh, 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'd 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 a proving terms
20:52I thought it a shame
20:53I was so ignorant
20:55Well
20:56Were you all for your keeping your liquids off?
20:59Go on
21:10I declare myself
21:14Enamoured
21:23I think the choice of soft drinks is very sensible the night before a wedding
21:29I'm looking forward to the trifle
21:32I love trifle
21:32Phyllis had to put it back in the fridge
21:34The custard hadn't set yet
21:36Are you serving a bride breakfast in bed in the morning, Millicent?
21:39I most certainly am
21:42I've also thought of an additional embellishment
21:49Welcome back, Sister!
22:09I couldn't get to sleep last night, all I wanted was for it to be the morning
22:13Honey, you forgot your shoes and your hair dryer
22:16Hi, Brad Paul
22:20Let me put some peppermints on the tray
22:23Let 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. Wallis
22:43I am not your witness
22:46God is your witness
22:48Even if the wedding is in our 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
23:00Fred wondered which firm you booked your taxes with
23:02Muzzy's Motors
23:04Just in case there's any problems
23:10Thank you for your patience, ladies
23:12May I present the bride
23:15Oh, my God
23:17Oh, my God
23:18Oh, my God
23:19Oh, my God
23:20Oh, my God
23:21Oh, my God
23:21Oh, my God
23:22Oh, my God
23:29Oh, my God
23:36Oh, my God
23:46Father Hilary is hearing her confession
23:56Will you please repeat after me?
23:58I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:04why I, Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:07I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful impediment
24:13why I...
24:17Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:22Rosalind Anne Clifford.
24:24May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:30May not be joined in matrimony to thee, Cyril Alphonse Robinson.
24:40Through this holy anointing, may the Lord in his love and mercy
24:45help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
24:47May the Lord, who frees you from sin, save you.
24:54And raise you up.
24:56Amen.
25:01I marry you with this ring
25:04because you are more precious to me
25:06than all the gold the world contains.
25:11And 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.
25:39Amen.
25:39Amen.
25:41Amen.
25:48Amen.
25:53Amen.
26:00Amen.
26:01Amen.
26:02Amen.
26:03Amen.
26:04Amen.
26:05Amen.
26:05Amen.
26:07Amen.
26:09Amen.
26:09Amen.
26:19It is quite wonderfully made.
26:23When I made my vows to Christ,
26:26we were told a single lily must suffice.
26:32I should have liked that better.
26:36You 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.
26:58Perhaps, as a body fades,
27:02the senses grow sharper.
27:05I have a gift for your infant.
27:09You must not leave without it.
27:11A teddy bear?
27:21Oh.
27:23Sister Monica Joan.
27:25Your child is a child of this century.
27:30It has both your features in its face.
27:35And I delighted at you.
27:41Gangway.
27:42You've got the shoes to tie to the taxi.
27:44The trouble is there is no taxi.
27:46I booked it in advance and there's no sign of it.
27:48Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
27:53Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
27:59Ho, ho, ho, ho.
28:07We thought we should have something special.
28:10Ho, ho, ho, ho.
28:13Ho, ho, ho, ho.
28:30Hello, love. This is Mrs. Mullocks.
28:33Could you get your mum and tell her it's about Belinda?
28:42Her hands started to get cold.
28:50I'll call Dr. Turner. He has to be kept informed.
29:02Dad. I keep thinking about Susan and her legs and her arms.
29:09I mean, the artificial ones. They just don't work.
29:14She has to be pushed and parked like luggage or something.
29:20There's no alternative, Barry.
29:21We had a talk in college today about electric wheelchairs.
29:26Electric, like you plug it in?
29:27No. They have a built-in 100-watt motor and rear-wheel drive.
29:34Why don't you tell the society? Maybe they can fix it for Susan to try one.
29:40Do you reckon she could steer an electric one herself?
29:43We'd have to give it a go.
29:46Dad. She needs us to chase everything that's new.
29:51Good girl, Belinda. Good girl.
29:54This one will soon be over.
29:57They just keep coming, though.
29:59That's the nature of childbirth, love.
30:03Shall I pop and get you some more painkolours?
30:06In a minute, maybe.
30:08It feels so strange with all those empty beds.
30:12You're our only patient, Belinda.
30:14And the delivery room's all set up for when you're ready to move through.
30:18Mrs Turner was saying this might be the last baby ever born here.
30:23You're lucky to get in before it closes down.
30:27Ugh.
30:28Oh.
30:29Mmm.
30:30The wonderful break of the mid-session.
30:33Now it's absolutely crucial that he wins this final frame
30:37before the mid-session interlude.
30:40Here he is with the break.
30:42Don't I get a beer?
30:43You've got crisps.
30:44We need you to listen to our presentation about why we should get a colour television.
30:50One, wildlife programmes are very educational and much more educational in colour.
30:55Two, if Christopher comes back from Hong Kong, he'll be able to watch Trump turn in colour.
31:00Three, Timothy will come home and watch things like the old Grey Whistle Test,
31:04which, surprisingly enough, is in colour.
31:07Hang on.
31:08Hang on.
31:08Why are you doing this when your mother's out here?
31:11It's because she always says you're the soft touch and she isn't.
31:13Ha, ha, ha.
31:16Ha, ha.
31:16Fly me to the moon.
31:19Let me play among the stars.
31:24Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.
31:32In other words, hold my hand.
31:40In other words, baby, kiss me.
31:45You look simply ravishing.
31:48And rather appropriately.
31:51This cocktail, comprising gin, lemon juice and creme de peche, is known as Perfect Lady.
32:01Oh, I might yet find out what a hangover is like.
32:06Ha, ha, ha.
32:09Philip?
32:14How lovely to see you, Geoffrey.
32:16Is Alistair with you?
32:18Oh, propping up the bar as usual.
32:20Flatner refuses to join me on the dance floor.
32:22I do so envy you, your delightful partner.
32:25Oh, this is my darling friend, Beryl.
32:28Uh, Beryl, may I present Philip Parry.
32:31How lovely to meet you.
32:33Enchanté.
32:48Fresh hot water bottle.
32:50I think I saw a shiver.
32:52You're done in, lass.
32:54I'll fetch you if things change.
32:57You go to bed.
32:59Leave the night shift to me.
33:03Something old, something new.
33:07Something borrowed, something blue.
33:19Oh, please.
33:20What, please?
33:21Can't you just pull it out?
33:23No.
33:23It's just she seems to go limp every time she has a pain.
33:26You've got to push, love.
33:28Push.
33:30Good to see you.
33:31Good to see you.
33:34Good to see you.
33:51That's it, Belinda.
33:53Push into your bottom again like you did last time.
33:56I think they're on the bed's out.
33:58Good girl, Belinda.
33:59Oh!
34:00Oh!
34:01Oh!
34:02Oh!
34:04Oh!
34:05Oh!
34:10Have things changed?
34:11They're starting to.
34:13You get dressed and I'll tell Sister Julienne.
34:23I might have known you'd put in an appearance this to Angelina.
34:28Some of us know when a job needs finishing.
34:31You, meanwhile, have shilly-shallied long enough.
34:36Even the Almighty's patience has worn thin.
34:40What's it like?
34:44Where I will go?
34:47It's everything we were promised.
34:51And all that you have worked for.
34:58Come on.
35:00Come on.
35:07Come on!
35:11Come on!
35:16Come on!
35:19Come on!
35:28And you have a daughter.
35:31Bang on, 20 past three.
35:33And you put me out of a job, Belinda.
35:36Well done.
35:38Oh, look at her.
35:42Look at her little hands.
35:45Look at her little toes.
35:51Would you like to do something very special, Rhoda?
35:54And cut the cord?
36:05Oh, God.
36:17Oh, God.
36:20Oh, God.
36:21Oh, God.
36:27Oh, God.
36:44Oh, God.
37:01I want to say
37:03how can a heart like her stop beating
37:08how can a life like her
37:09come to an end
37:15she'd be up in the window
37:17to let her soul out
37:20when Sister Julian gets here
37:23there's no hurry
37:27would you like me to pray with you
37:29until she comes
37:41rest eternal grant unto her
37:43oh Lord
37:43may her soul
37:45and the souls of all the departed
37:47through the mercy of God
37:49rest at peace
37:52Amen
37:54Amen
38:03She really has laid down everything
38:05she wanted
38:07and in considerable detail
38:09even that she wants to be wheeled to the church
38:12on a costermonger's cart
38:14a proper poplar funeral
38:17we will do everything she asks
38:19meanwhile Mr. Mollux
38:21I believe you became a grandfather last night
38:24I did
38:26I did
38:28don't go
38:34I'll have to sign the certificate
38:36that you can do the checks
38:41torch and stethoscope
38:44that's all you need
38:49heart beat first
38:51just as if she was still with us
39:04I feel as though I should be talking to her
39:08I always think that
39:13it's okay sister
39:17you're in good hands
39:30Geoffrey
39:32it's time for me to go
39:35where?
39:36back to the order
39:38I was always going to have to choose
39:40and you don't want to
39:42choose this?
39:43I left because
39:44I wanted a child
39:46this
39:49isn't a life
39:49that 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
39:55the thoroughfares of London
39:56like the Hun
39:57and I'm a dab hand
39:58with a
39:59with a shark net
40:00and with a
40:01a poison dart
40:02and a blowpipe
40:03Geoffrey
40:05this isn't to do with you
40:08I've been beaten
40:09by my own biology
40:12and
40:13I belong in the order
40:14I earn that life
40:18if I go back
40:21I can hold babies every day
40:23I love them
40:26every day
40:27and that won't hurt you?
40:31not now
40:34because I know
40:35the things I dreamed of
40:38weren't meant for me
40:50what does a poor bear do?
40:52well
40:54he's one of the people
40:56who helped to carry the coffin
40:58into the church
41:00it's considered to be an honour
41:03especially if the person that died
41:04asked for you
41:05who else did she ask?
41:07Fred of course
41:09and Dr Turner
41:11and Timothy
41:12and Cyril
41:13and Geoffrey
41:15and she put Miss Higgins
41:17Harry down
41:18as a reserve
41:19all the proper men
41:20yes
41:22because you're a proper man too
41:26I will do it
41:28and I will be proud
41:32Beryl
41:32you know
41:33I'll walk you all the way
41:34to the front door
41:35if you want me to
41:37no
41:38you'd best not
41:40I need to say goodbye
41:41to Beryl too
41:44maybe it's best
41:45if I leave her here
41:47with me
41:49shall always be with you
41:51and whenever there's
41:53a chutney to be made
41:56costumes cobbled together
41:58or
42:00happy family times
42:01to be had again
42:02in the convent parlour
42:04Sister Veronica
42:05will always be so pleased
42:08to see you
42:09and there will be
42:09happy family times
42:10won't there?
42:12yes
42:15don't disappear
42:32I'm not scared
42:33of new beginnings
42:34Sister
42:35I've seen too many
42:36babies being born
42:38and you will wait
42:39until we know
42:40exactly where we're going
42:41we had a long conversation
42:43about waiting once
42:44in the wreckage of a train
42:48waiting
42:49is what we do
42:51yes
42:53we'll do this
42:54together
42:58and with that
42:59I suppose
43:00I ought to pray
43:01I have always left that
43:03to the experts
43:09do you have a moment
43:10Nurse Green
43:11I'm having to start
43:13the paperwork
43:14to transfer
43:15all of our
43:16expectant mother's
43:17notes
43:18it's a pleasure
43:19to postpone it
43:20I applied for
43:21an acting sister's job
43:22at St Cuthbert's
43:23and they've asked me
43:25to go for an interview
43:26oh lass
43:27well done
43:29but
43:30it's on the day
43:31of the funeral
43:39if you do the interview
43:41at the appointed time
43:43you should get to the church
43:45before the end
43:46but
43:46you don't think that would be
43:48disrespectful
43:51reverse
43:54we are burying a woman
43:55whose whole life
43:56was defined
43:58by 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 notice you say
44:27alteration
44:28sister Julianne
44:29and not closure
44:32sister Veronica
44:33sister Catherine and I
44:35have decided
44:36that
44:36Ninata's house
44:37will become a house
44:38of prayer
44:40and of charity
44:42whilst we discern
44:43our next steps
44:44can you say
44:45what sort of steps
44:46you might be considering
44:48as we've already discussed
44:50with Dr Turner
44:50there are three
44:51potential new
44:53medical missions
44:55all of which
44:56would 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
45:07of 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
45:31sister Julianne
45:32will read a short verse
45:34at the request of the lady
45:38we are honouring today
45:41the poem is called
45:42the old astronomer
45:44talks to his pupil
45:48though my soul
45:49may set in darkness
45:51it will rise
45:53in perfect light
45:56I have loved the stars
45:58too fondly
46:01to be fearful
46:02of the night
46:15thank you gentlemen
46:31nurse Highland
46:32sister Marcus
46:34has provided glowing references
46:36for your recent spell
46:37on our wards
46:38but you also have
46:40excellent testimonials
46:42from your district work
46:44why do you want to return
46:45to a hospital environment
46:47that's not an easy question
46:49to answer
46:50Matron
46:50because it presupposes
46:52that my own enjoyment
46:53is the thing that matters
46:56what matters most
46:57is the patient
46:58the person who needs my care
46:59indeed
47:00and I feel that
47:01going forward
47:02I can give the best
47:04of myself to them
47:05in a place that is
47:06controlled
47:06and orderly
47:08and concerned
47:09with delivering excellence
47:10and you don't feel
47:11that you can do that
47:12on the district
47:13things will improve
47:14I'm sure
47:14but not at the present time
47:20step
47:23step
47:25step
47:27step
47:29step
47:30step
47:30thank you gentlemen
47:32you see the body
47:33of our sister Monica
47:35joined with confidence
47:36in God
47:36who raised the Lord Jesus
47:37from the dead
47:49their blood
48:02and their blood
48:05in glory
48:08in your blood
48:36CHOIR SINGS
48:39Having brought so many new lives into the world,
48:44Sister Monica Joan has gone on to a new, eternal existence of her own.
48:52Words about her time on earth seem so 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 is universal.
49:21Because we have lost her.
49:25We have lost her.
49:29And today as we gather round the emptiness that she has left behind,
49:36that space becomes not a void, but a vessel filled with love.
49:44For her and from her, from ourselves and for each other.
49:53We may not know what the future holds.
49:57But we can all say our lives contained her.
50:03And that binds us for eternity.
50:07Let's pray for you.
50:07Yes, yes.
50:13Let's pray for you.
50:18Yes, yes.
50:27Here we amen,
50:30Actually I think.
50:37Yes, thank you.
51:06Satsang with Mooji
51:33Satsang with Mooji
51:38Rob, epitome of authority and poise
51:40Do turn around so I can see the back
51:43You 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
51:53Given your unfortunate family situation
51:55My unfortunate family situation actually has had unexpected repercussions
52:00My husband now controls Aylward Estates
52:02And 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
52:12That 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
52:35Have you got the chance?
52:35Yes!
52:43Ah, there she is
52:44You all ready for the big event?
52:46I have an uncomfortably full bladder
52:49But I believe you are 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 are about to witness
53:09Is a live examination of the gravid uterus
53:12Using a method known as B-mode ultrasonography
53:15The transducer emits pulses of sound into the maternal abdomen
53:21And the returning echoes are converted into an image in real time
53:26No radiation, no needles, and no discomfort
53:31Are you ready, Mother?
53:34Yes, Mr. Parry
53:57I think an exhibition of photographs and a tea party
54:01Is 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
54:14Well, I'm already eligible for my pension, so I could
54:18But why would I want to?
54:20I love my work
54:21To give it up would be like resigning from myself
54:25Likewise
54:27Look, I suppose
54:30One day even dear Dr. Turner won't need us anymore
54:33But when that comes to pass
54:37I'm inclined to think you and I might have some new adventures
54:41Dare I ask what you have in mind?
54:44I thought we could set up a detective agency
54:49I could investigate people via public records
54:55And you could use your advanced motorist's credentials
54:59To trail them
55:02Or even give chase
55:09You're wrong
55:10What 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
55:23Miss Demeanors
55:27I've seen cards in phone boxes from someone called Miss Demeanors
55:32Oh, here we go
55:35That's the Worcester 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 way
56:11When I might have made my mark in this way
56:18I had better things to do
56:23I 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
57:09Once I lived a dream come true
57:16I had my days of loving you
57:26There have always been goodbyes
57:30At Nonada's house
57:32And there have always been endings
57:34Year 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 and 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
58:24Hope is the pearl inside the oyster
58:28The seed in its sacred husk
58:31Hidden in the sweet dark earth
58:35Until the spring comes
58:39The seed that must play in your own way
58:45We have been Valentin éléments that are far away
