00:00:02¶¶
00:00:37¶¶
00:00:38Silvermaid keeping ahead in front of Dasher and Boy Blue,
00:00:40but the favourite red light is now lengths behind.
00:00:43He's right out of it.
00:00:44Inside the last furlong, and Dasher's taken it up,
00:00:46moving through very smoothly.
00:00:48Silvermaid hanging on to second place,
00:00:49and at the post, it's Dasher from Silvermaid.
00:00:52I should say, too late.
00:01:02¶¶
00:01:04¶¶
00:01:05Well, did it win?
00:01:06That nag shall be going into the hospital, not you.
00:01:08Bad luck.
00:01:09I wonder who won the baby stakes.
00:01:13Supposing I'd been on it.
00:01:23Ah, where do I go?
00:01:25Hey, I can walk, you know.
00:01:27Nobody walks in here.
00:01:28Any chance of walking out,
00:01:30we've got to do the job proper.
00:01:56Over here, Mr. York.
00:01:57Right now.
00:01:58Thanks for the ride, boys.
00:02:00Give us a ride up in the papers.
00:02:04Will you get into bed, please?
00:02:05I, um, didn't have time to get my pyjamas.
00:02:07Oh, that's all right.
00:02:08You won't need any just now.
00:02:14Thanks.
00:02:16What's he got there, Mick?
00:02:19Appendicitis.
00:02:19Ten days job.
00:02:22Oh, blimey, only ten days.
00:02:24When I think, though, easily that could have been avoided, I could kick myself, I tell you.
00:02:29See what I said, then?
00:02:31I said I could kick myself.
00:02:33Kick myself with that on, I said.
00:02:35I think that's very funny, Mick.
00:02:36Don't you, Mick?
00:02:40Come on, Mr. Ribbon.
00:02:50There you are.
00:02:52What's there?
00:02:53A shroud?
00:02:53No, an operating gun.
00:03:08Your turn.
00:03:12Yes, Colonel?
00:03:14I want to see that ward orderly chap, Mick.
00:03:17You can't. It's our job to answer the buzzer, not his.
00:03:21You've only been here half a day and you've called us a dozen times already for no good reason.
00:03:25Now, do try and remember the buzzer's only for emergencies.
00:03:28This is an emergency.
00:03:30What kind of an emergency?
00:03:31Every time Mick comes in here, he stays too long. I don't know what you two find to talk about.
00:03:35I dare say you don't. There's some things we men talk about it's better for women not to know.
00:03:39I can imagine that.
00:03:41I doubt it, young lady. I doubt it.
00:03:43Well, what do you want him for? What can he do for you that I can't? Tell me that.
00:03:47Oh, don't tempt me, girl. Just tell Mick I want him, would you, please?
00:03:51All right. Just this one.
00:03:59Ah, Mick, my boy. That's right. Shut the door.
00:04:02Now then, dictation. Got your notebook?
00:04:05Yes, sir.
00:04:05Good. Here we are then.
00:04:07Bob Eatsway, the Black Prince. That's the 3.30 at Chapstow.
00:04:12Black Prince, 3.30 at Chapstow.
00:04:15That's right.
00:04:15Half a dollar to win Rambler. R-A-M-B-N-E-R. Now, that's the 4.15 at Redcar.
00:04:224.15 Redcar.
00:04:24That's all, I think.
00:04:25Right, Colonel.
00:04:27Well, you just settle down, Colonel. I'll wait for the results.
00:04:30Oh, give me 20 players, would you, please?
00:04:32Yes, sir. Don't bother about that.
00:04:37Good afternoon. Name?
00:04:39Good afternoon. York. Edward York.
00:04:42Address?
00:04:4324 Passchendaele Avenue.
00:04:46Age?
00:04:4735.
00:04:48Occupation?
00:04:49Newspa... report.
00:04:51Relax.
00:04:52I was covering the baby show.
00:04:54Next of kin?
00:04:55No.
00:04:56Religion?
00:04:57Which lot has the best record of recovery?
00:05:00I am very busy.
00:05:01Come along, now. See a V.
00:05:03False teeth?
00:05:04No.
00:05:05Glass hair?
00:05:05No.
00:05:06And before you go any further, the rest of me is my own.
00:05:08Sign, please. Consent for general anaesthetic.
00:05:12Ooh.
00:05:13Relax.
00:05:21Hello.
00:05:22I'm Mick.
00:05:22Hi, Mick.
00:05:24What's hair trouble?
00:05:26Oh, night starvation.
00:05:29Gonna shave you.
00:05:30Shave?
00:05:31My appendix isn't on my face.
00:05:34I'm not going to shave your face.
00:06:04Yes, Colonel?
00:06:05I'm all crummy.
00:06:07If you will stuff yourself with those crumbly biscuits...
00:06:11Well, I have to have some pleasure, dammit.
00:06:12Well, hop out and I'll take the crumbs away.
00:06:14Where's that fella Mick got to?
00:06:16He's doing something for system.
00:06:18Can I help?
00:06:19Not unless you know what won the 415 at Redcar. You can't.
00:06:22Oh, you and your racing. All right, get in.
00:06:29Oh, I wish you wouldn't eat those biscuits.
00:06:32I eat biscuits, my girl, to calm my nerves.
00:06:35Rambler won it. Three to one.
00:06:38Comfy now?
00:06:38Yes.
00:06:40Rambler, d'you say?
00:06:41Hoo-hoo!
00:06:42Ha-ha-ha!
00:06:43Good old rambler.
00:06:45We'll have a new one now.
00:06:53I warned you.
00:06:57Sister?
00:06:58I'm not a sister. I'm a staff nurse.
00:07:00Oh?
00:07:00How do I tell the difference?
00:07:02Student nurses wear big hats. We call them butterflies.
00:07:04We call them what?
00:07:05Butterflies.
00:07:06Oh, I like that.
00:07:07They don't.
00:07:08And staff nurses wear these. Got her?
00:07:10Yes.
00:07:11I think you're wonderful.
00:07:13Relax, Mr. York.
00:07:21Nurse Dawson, is it your intention to wreck my ward?
00:07:31Who are you?
00:07:32I'm a nurse.
00:07:33You're in hospital, but you're all right.
00:07:36Well, let's have a beer.
00:07:39You can't have a beer, Mr. York.
00:07:42She'll give me a beer.
00:07:44I'll go...
00:07:45Oh!
00:07:47Somebody starve me!
00:07:48Why, still, you've got a drain in you.
00:07:51Now that you've made my bed, you can lie on it.
00:07:56Oh, Mr. York!
00:08:04Oh, I'm sorry, Staff.
00:08:07I was just trying to get Mr. York to settle down for life.
00:08:11Lovely.
00:08:15When you're on night duty, nurse,
00:08:18always carry a couple of sleeping pills with you.
00:08:20There isn't always time to go and fetch them.
00:08:23Mr.
00:08:25Well, buck up.
00:08:26There's another patient coming in.
00:08:28Oh, what a place.
00:08:31Bath, sluice room, sterile up.
00:08:32Jane!
00:08:35Look, my hand's all right.
00:08:37I keep telling everybody.
00:08:38I don't have to come here.
00:08:39All you need is just to rub it.
00:08:42Look, I don't like this place at all.
00:08:44It lights a bill, some bums...
00:08:45Come on, Bernie.
00:08:47Excuse me, Miss.
00:08:48I think there's been a bit of a mistake.
00:08:50I don't have to stay here, you see?
00:08:51Go there, please.
00:08:59I'm not going in there.
00:09:00It's full of sick people.
00:09:01I'll catch something.
00:09:02You've already got something.
00:09:03For heaven's sake, go in.
00:09:04I'm not going everywhere.
00:09:05Ah, Mr. Bishop.
00:09:06Come in, will you, please?
00:09:09Now, will you please get into bed?
00:09:10Oh, Miss, I'm quite all right, you see.
00:09:12I've sprained my wrist in a fight before, now, without all this trouble.
00:09:15All I need is a bit of the old massage.
00:09:16Your x-ray shows a severe dislocation and a colis fracture.
00:09:19Yeah, well, the x-ray's wrong.
00:09:20It's just a sprain.
00:09:21I'll be as right as rain in the morning.
00:09:22Shall I give you a hand?
00:09:22No, that won't be necessary, thanks.
00:09:24Bernie, you do as you're told.
00:09:25Yeah, but the point is that...
00:09:27Oh, I don't know.
00:09:30All right, darling.
00:09:33Kiss the baby for me.
00:09:36Now, Mr. Bishop, will you sit down, please?
00:09:38Hmm?
00:09:38Hey, Mr. Hickson.
00:09:41Mr. Hickson.
00:09:42Hmm?
00:09:45What, what?
00:09:46Bernie Bishop's just come in.
00:09:48The boxer.
00:09:49He's hurt his hand.
00:09:50What do you expect me to do?
00:09:52Stay...
00:09:53Stand up and cheer.
00:09:55Tell me a favor, will you?
00:09:58Go to sleep.
00:09:59Sorry.
00:10:00I thought you were a fan.
00:10:02Let's all get a bit of peace.
00:10:05This is a mad ass.
00:10:06I'll be glad when I get home.
00:10:08Bernie Bishop, he says.
00:10:10Bernie...
00:10:12What a punch, though.
00:10:13He landed in row with.
00:10:15Well, don't worry.
00:10:16We'll soon fix that hand so that you don't roll on it when you're asleep.
00:10:19All right.
00:10:19Stand up, please.
00:10:20Okay.
00:10:22There.
00:10:24Now.
00:10:25What?
00:10:25What?
00:10:26What, what?
00:10:26Well, you can't sleep in those.
00:10:28That's quite all right.
00:10:29I can take them off.
00:10:30With one hand?
00:10:31Yeah, yeah.
00:10:32I can manage.
00:10:33You two ladies, just turn your back, please.
00:10:35Be good.
00:10:35Wait a minute.
00:10:36Hey, what's going on?
00:10:37You can't...
00:10:37What a sauce!
00:10:38Nurse, please!
00:10:41Oh!
00:10:41What a fuss about such a little thing.
00:10:57Come in.
00:11:01Good morning, Colonel.
00:11:02It's not.
00:11:03No racing.
00:11:04What are we going to do to amuse ourselves today, eh?
00:11:06I really don't know, sir.
00:11:09Not unless you're interested in a little private wager, sir.
00:11:11What are you talking about?
00:11:12With me, that is.
00:11:14You see, it's matron's round today.
00:11:17Well, now, she usually averages about 14 minutes 10 to about 16 minutes 30 seconds
00:11:22from the top of the stairs to the last bed in the ward.
00:11:25Half a crown on the nearest time to a second, eh?
00:11:28That's it.
00:11:28Are you on?
00:11:29I'm on, sir.
00:11:30Got to stop watch.
00:11:31I'll get one.
00:11:47Just a moment.
00:11:48Don't get my weapon.
00:11:49I'm sorry, it's matron's round.
00:11:52What's going on?
00:11:53Matron's round.
00:11:55I don't care if she's triangular.
00:12:00Nick!
00:12:01Nick!
00:12:03Nick!
00:12:03The veranda.
00:12:04Sweep the veranda first.
00:12:08Do you mind?
00:12:09Please, let's get on.
00:12:15I say, you don't know what's your wrist.
00:12:17Don't I?
00:12:17The most marvellous recipe.
00:12:19Don't you worry, I shall be at it the moment I get out.
00:12:21It's made in a flash.
00:12:23The campers, jamboree, folly.
00:12:25I have it here.
00:12:26You take a couple of red raisins, two whites of eggs, one grated earphone, earphones.
00:12:30Oh!
00:12:31You wicked bad girl.
00:12:32I shall miss the next programme.
00:12:34Feudal!
00:12:35That's what this place is.
00:12:36Feudal!
00:12:36I could choke.
00:12:37I'm studying nuclear physics, the thing of the future.
00:12:40I've got an examination to pass, and I'm delayed because a survival from the surgical stone age called a matron
00:12:45is going to walk through here.
00:12:46I could spit.
00:12:47I could scream.
00:12:49My name's Oliver Wreckett.
00:12:51You've made rather a mess of your hand.
00:12:52Industrial injury.
00:12:54Pardon?
00:12:56Hurt it at your work.
00:12:57Oh, yeah.
00:12:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:00Yeah, I'm a boxer.
00:13:02How savage.
00:13:03There's no more savage than what you're doing, mate.
00:13:05Pressing buttons and making explosions and giving everybody horrible weather in the summer.
00:13:09Come on.
00:13:10Come on.
00:13:10Come along.
00:13:11Come along, please.
00:13:20Yes?
00:13:21Oh, good morning.
00:13:22My name's Perkins.
00:13:23Ted York's editor.
00:13:24I've just brought some things along from his digs.
00:13:26Can I see him?
00:13:26Um, a newspaper man, you know, very busy at nights.
00:13:29Oh, yes.
00:13:29I don't know if he'll get anybody, you know.
00:13:30I can't see him now.
00:13:32I just, of course.
00:13:33Ted will never get a single visitor, you know, unless I can...
00:13:36Oh, good morning, Matron.
00:13:37Good morning, sister.
00:13:39Come along.
00:13:39Come along.
00:13:40We must be quick.
00:13:41I'm due at a meeting now.
00:13:43Good morning, Mr. York.
00:13:44Good morning.
00:13:45Everything all right, I hope?
00:13:46Yes, thank you, Matron.
00:13:49Nurse.
00:13:50Shh.
00:13:55Good morning, Mr. Hinton.
00:13:59Mr. Hinton, please.
00:14:05Beg pardon.
00:14:07You're all right.
00:14:20Feeling all right today?
00:14:21As well as can be expected.
00:14:26Well, if that's all there is to it, why all the fear and trembling?
00:14:28You'll see.
00:14:29That wasn't typical.
00:14:30Stick around a few days.
00:14:31Oh, I haven't got much choice, have I?
00:14:34Carry on, sister.
00:14:35Oh, thank you, Matron.
00:14:42Can I take a moment now?
00:14:43Yes, Mr. Berkins, yes.
00:14:44Be quick, please.
00:14:45Thank you very much.
00:14:46Come along.
00:14:46Come on, everybody.
00:14:47Back to work.
00:14:47Come on, sir.
00:14:54Crikey, Colonel.
00:14:55She broke an all-time record today.
00:14:58Twelve minutes, twenty seconds.
00:15:00Now, I said, er, 14.2.
00:15:03You said 14.50.
00:15:05You owe me half a crown, Gov.
00:15:07All right.
00:15:07There's some money there.
00:15:08Help yourself.
00:15:09Now, trust your doubler quits.
00:15:11Well, I must fly, sir.
00:15:12I'm all of a rush this morning.
00:15:14Blast the matron.
00:15:15Listen.
00:15:17Hospital life from the patient's point of view.
00:15:20Byline Ted York, dateline on the spot.
00:15:21A series.
00:15:22It's sure fire.
00:15:23Look, everybody's interested in hospitals.
00:15:25Look, we can't miss.
00:15:26I run special supplements, special advertising.
00:15:29I'll give you a bonus.
00:15:31It's as good as written.
00:15:32That's me, boy.
00:15:33All you've got to do is to sit here and watch and listen and write.
00:15:36And don't forget the bonus.
00:15:37I won't.
00:15:38I'm sorry.
00:15:39You must go now, Mr. Perkins.
00:15:40Mr. Stevens is making his round a little earlier today.
00:15:44Certainly.
00:15:45Don't forget to keep it clean.
00:15:47Bye-bye.
00:15:47Sure.
00:15:47Bye, nurse.
00:15:57Well, what's all this about an anesthetic?
00:15:59I just thought I needed to drop any old massage on it.
00:16:02Well, we have to manipulate your wrist.
00:16:03Set your hand in plaster of Paris.
00:16:05The pain would be too great.
00:16:06Oh, now, come on, duck.
00:16:07Please.
00:16:08I can't bear any amount of pain.
00:16:10You just do what you have to right now.
00:16:12I've read about your left hook, Mr. Bishop.
00:16:14I have no desire to feel it.
00:16:17You'll be well advised to sign.
00:16:19You'll be here a week.
00:16:20After that, with a little luck, you'll fight again in about three months' time.
00:16:30I'm sorry, there's no quicker way.
00:16:34Being in a public ward is quite an experience for me, and a surprisingly pleasant one, I must admit.
00:16:39Mind you, of course, a coddling can go too far.
00:16:41Definitely.
00:16:42Private enterprise, that's the ticket.
00:16:44I mean, you take my house, for instance, on the west side of the common.
00:16:49I saw it on a Monday, brought off a deal in the city on Tuesday, bought it on the Wednesday.
00:16:54Cash on the mail.
00:16:56Private enterprise.
00:16:57There is nothing like it.
00:16:58Definitely.
00:16:59That's how I got my house.
00:17:02You've got your own place?
00:17:04Yes.
00:17:04The manor, west side of the common.
00:17:06Well, that lovely estate.
00:17:09You own that.
00:17:10Rent it.
00:17:11Twenty-three bob a...
00:17:12No, no, no.
00:17:13I'm a liar.
00:17:14Twenty-two and ninepence a week.
00:17:16From the council.
00:17:17But how?
00:17:18Well, they had to give us somewhere.
00:17:20I've got eleven kids.
00:17:22Private enterprise.
00:17:23Definitely.
00:17:27May I borrow your chair?
00:17:28Mm-hmm.
00:17:55All right?
00:17:56I was.
00:18:13I want to talk to you.
00:18:15I want to talk to you.
00:18:16Oh?
00:18:17What about?
00:18:18Yes or no today?
00:18:19Well, as a matter of fact...
00:18:21No.
00:18:28No.
00:18:28No.
00:18:28No.
00:18:30No.
00:18:30No.
00:18:31No.
00:18:32No.
00:19:05No.
00:19:06Good evening, Mr. York.
00:19:07Hello.
00:19:08Would you like a hospital visitor?
00:19:10A what?
00:19:11A hospital visitor.
00:19:12Someone who volunteers to chat with patients who have no visitors.
00:19:15No, thank you.
00:19:17You visit me.
00:19:18You see enough of me all day.
00:19:28Cool.
00:19:29Oh.
00:19:30A lady referee.
00:19:32Back in the land of the living, Mr. Bishop.
00:19:34Hmm?
00:19:35I got the compensation form from the union, dear.
00:19:39Well, it's about time.
00:19:40Let's fill it in.
00:19:42Take me clever, Fred.
00:19:51How do you expect to fill that thing in properly like that?
00:19:54Why don't you find something to lean on?
00:20:00Take this book.
00:20:02Take this book.
00:20:06Full name.
00:20:09Well, don't tell me you don't know that by now.
00:20:10No, it's all right, dear.
00:20:13It's only thinking aloud.
00:20:15Oh.
00:20:15Flop letters, say.
00:20:22Now, date of accident?
00:20:2527th.
00:20:25No, dear.
00:20:26It couldn't have been.
00:20:27Look, I ought to know.
00:20:28No, dear.
00:20:28It couldn't have been.
00:20:30Because the 27th, I went to see Grandma.
00:20:32You came to fetch me at the station.
00:20:34What?
00:20:34Couldn't have done that with a broken leg, dear.
00:20:36Could you?
00:20:37What difference does it make?
00:20:39Well, it must have been the next day, then.
00:20:41All right.
00:20:42So it was the next day.
00:20:43What difference does it make?
00:20:45Oh, Purse, do try and be reasonable.
00:20:48Reasonable?
00:20:49Well, I mean, you've got to be accurate on these things.
00:20:52Otherwise, well, anybody could write in a claim.
00:20:57Marge, look.
00:20:59Just you write it down, will I?
00:21:00Just get it down, it's all.
00:21:01Now, do you expect this incapacity to last more than a week?
00:21:09No, I'm going to a dance tonight.
00:21:12Oh, Purse, do how?
00:21:14Well, it gives me the sick, all these dark questions.
00:21:17Well, they've got to know these things, dear.
00:21:19Look, I fell off the scaffolding.
00:21:21I broke me perishing leg.
00:21:23Now, what more do they want to know?
00:21:24Me father's chest measurements?
00:21:26Oh, God.
00:21:28Blimey.
00:21:29Now, don't you start.
00:21:30Well, I can't help it.
00:21:33It's too much.
00:21:35You stuck in here and your leg's stuck up there.
00:21:39I'm all alone.
00:21:41I know.
00:21:42We're three kids.
00:21:43Oh, Purse, don't.
00:21:48Marge, Marge, I'm sorry, now.
00:21:51Don't go on like that, girl.
00:21:52Well, I'll get fed up, you see, stuck in here like this.
00:21:55Oh, I know.
00:21:56I know.
00:21:59It's not very easy for me, you know.
00:22:01You won't even help to fill the form out.
00:22:04It's too much, Percy.
00:22:06It's too much for me.
00:22:08Well, look, I'm sorry, girl.
00:22:11I'm sorry.
00:22:12Percy will kiss it better, eh?
00:22:18Marge, you'll have to come closer, girl, you see.
00:22:22I can't move, you know.
00:22:28Hmm?
00:22:29Oh, untie my hand, nurse, will you, please?
00:22:31Not yet.
00:22:32You might fall asleep again.
00:22:33Oh.
00:22:35Oh, take all these screens away, nurse, please.
00:22:37I can't bear being shut in.
00:22:38Please.
00:22:39All right.
00:22:42Oh, my little boy.
00:22:44Yeah.
00:22:45Cor, you should see his right when he punches our cat.
00:22:49Oh.
00:22:51Oh.
00:22:56Oh.
00:22:57Oh.
00:22:57Oh.
00:22:59Oh.
00:23:01Oh.
00:23:06Oh.
00:23:08Oh.
00:23:09Oh.
00:23:12Oh.
00:23:13Oh, yes, of course.
00:23:14Oh, do sit down, please.
00:23:20Harry's sorry he couldn't get here.
00:23:22Well, he sent some books.
00:23:24Oh, thank you.
00:23:26Hmm.
00:23:28Problems of radiation.
00:23:30Nuclear physics advanced theory.
00:23:32That's splendid.
00:23:33What's this?
00:23:35Wakefield's practical surgery.
00:23:36Oh, dear.
00:23:37Harry must have put that in by mistake.
00:23:38Never mind.
00:23:40Oh.
00:23:41Looks absorbing enough.
00:23:44Nice indeed.
00:23:45You look pale, though.
00:23:46There's no getting away from it.
00:23:48Ah, it's probably because I can't sleep.
00:23:50Being away from you, I expect.
00:23:51Shh.
00:23:52No.
00:23:53Honest.
00:23:53You must sleep.
00:23:55Ask the doctor for something.
00:23:56Don't be silly.
00:23:57You can't give me what I need.
00:23:58Bats.
00:23:59Well.
00:24:02I'm sorry.
00:24:04I do appreciate your bringing them.
00:24:05Harry told me you live for your work.
00:24:07Where have we met before?
00:24:09I have a curious feeling we've met.
00:24:11At home, once.
00:24:13Oh, yes.
00:24:16How are you getting on?
00:24:17All right, thank you.
00:24:19That's good.
00:24:22Is there anything else I can bring you?
00:24:24Oh, no.
00:24:25No, thanks.
00:24:27Visiting time's nearly over.
00:24:28I think I'll go.
00:24:29Must you?
00:24:30Perhaps I'll look in again sometime.
00:24:32You might want something.
00:24:34Oh, good.
00:24:34It's the most kind.
00:24:35Goodbye.
00:24:41You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Oliver.
00:24:45Cool.
00:24:45What a way to treat your nice girlfriend.
00:24:48She is not my girlfriend.
00:24:52She'd like to be, mate.
00:24:55Yeah, you can take it from me.
00:24:57She'd like to be.
00:25:04Oh, Miss Dawson.
00:25:06Visiting time's over.
00:25:07Ring the bell, will you?
00:25:08Yes, sister.
00:25:11All right, I'm coming.
00:25:13Oh, Miss Dawson.
00:25:33Yes, sister.
00:25:34I thought I told you to ring the bell.
00:25:36Well, I did, sister.
00:25:37Then why are the visitors still here?
00:25:38Well, I don't know.
00:25:43I...
00:25:46Crikey.
00:25:55What's the matter, Mr York?
00:25:57Can't you sleep?
00:25:58Wind?
00:26:00Nurse.
00:26:02Stop.
00:26:03Yes?
00:26:04Sorry about last night.
00:26:05I was a bad boy.
00:26:06Oh, I've seen worse.
00:26:08You like night work?
00:26:09Yes.
00:26:10Can I have some peace for you?
00:26:12Sometimes.
00:26:14Good night.
00:26:15Good night.
00:26:17Oh, thanks, nurse.
00:26:23Oh, my God!
00:26:30Hello.
00:26:31You all right?
00:26:32Sister told me to sterilize these rubber catheters last night.
00:26:34It went clean out of my head.
00:26:35I've just got time.
00:26:36Well, you haven't.
00:26:37The sterilizer's full.
00:26:38Oh, crikey!
00:26:41Look, don't panic.
00:26:42I'll put them in a kidney dish on the gas stove for you,
00:26:44if you'll see what he wants.
00:26:45Okay, thanks.
00:26:51What is it, Colonel?
00:26:52Hello.
00:26:52You're early.
00:26:54Well, anyone would think I was always four hours late.
00:26:56What can I do for you?
00:26:58Just if I can remember coming in early like this,
00:27:00you put it right out of my head.
00:27:01Well, suppose you buzz again when you remember,
00:27:03if it's important.
00:27:04What do you mean, if?
00:27:05Of course, it's impo-
00:27:06Oh, I remember.
00:27:07It's my pulse.
00:27:08It's racing.
00:27:08Like I ought to be today.
00:27:10It's your imagination, Colonel.
00:27:11Positively pounding, I tell you.
00:27:13You're feeling the wrong place.
00:27:15Give it me.
00:27:16What did I tell you?
00:27:20Quite normal.
00:27:22Impossible!
00:27:23Patients aren't allowed to contradict.
00:27:28Hello.
00:27:29You're early.
00:27:30The next person says that to me, I'll spit right in their eyes.
00:27:33Good morning, Nurse Dawson.
00:27:34You're early.
00:27:35Yes, Sister.
00:27:36Morning, Sister.
00:27:36Good night, Mr.
00:27:48Anyway?
00:27:53Can't you wait for a second to me?
00:27:54Oh, dear.
00:27:56It's my turn.
00:27:57It's my turn.
00:27:59It's my turn.
00:28:05You're late, grandmother.
00:28:11Is it a matter of life and death, Colonel?
00:28:13No, but...
00:28:13Well, then, please wait.
00:28:24Morning, ma'am.
00:28:25Morning, Doctor.
00:28:57Morning, sister.
00:28:59Those screens are untidy, sister.
00:29:00Oh, I'll see you tonight.
00:29:01Why not?
00:29:03Morning, Mr. Reckett.
00:29:04Good morning, ma'am.
00:29:05Your temperature's behaving very oddly, I see.
00:29:08Perhaps it'll settle down when I get up.
00:29:10Tomorrow, Mr. Stephen said.
00:29:12Good.
00:29:13Don't study too hard.
00:29:14I don't know any other way to absorb knowledge, matron.
00:29:21Good morning, Mr. Bishop.
00:29:22Morning, matron.
00:29:23Mr. Bishop is a boxer, matron.
00:29:25How interesting.
00:29:26And how did this unfortunate accident occur?
00:29:28Oh, it was in a fight.
00:29:29We had a fourth round of an eliminating contest.
00:29:31I'm a contender, you see.
00:29:32Well, the bell goes, ding, ding, so it comes out me corner like the clappers.
00:29:35I gave him a...
00:29:36The clappers?
00:29:37That is the boxing term, I believe, matron.
00:29:39How very interesting.
00:29:40Yeah.
00:29:41Well, I gave him a couple of lefts.
00:29:43Like that, you know, right in the gut.
00:29:44I could have shook hands with his spine straight up.
00:29:46Well, his guard dropped, so I clocked him one dead on the button.
00:29:48That was the end of the bout.
00:29:52Well, Mr. Bishop, I hope you'll recover like the clappers.
00:29:58Well, thanks very much, Mrs.
00:29:59Mate.
00:30:00Very nice.
00:30:29Oh, what a stink.
00:30:31The cook appears to be improving.
00:30:34Sister, investigate that odor.
00:30:35Yes, certainly, matron.
00:30:39Ow!
00:30:40Ow!
00:30:46You idiot!
00:30:48Oh, I'm so sorry, sister.
00:30:50You really are a complete fool, aren't you?
00:30:52And you're in matron's round, too.
00:30:54Well, go into my office and wait for me.
00:31:00Everything's quite all right now, matron.
00:31:11Nurse Dawson, how dare you burst in like that?
00:31:14Oh, just a minute.
00:31:17Ruddy thing.
00:31:18It's matron's round.
00:31:20Mind your point.
00:31:24Well, nurse, what is it?
00:31:25I told you to wait in my office.
00:31:26Well, I did, sister.
00:31:27There was a phone call, emergency admission.
00:31:29Very well.
00:31:29Carry on, nurse.
00:31:32Oh, we shall just have room.
00:31:34Mr. Jackson's going home today.
00:31:35I wonder whether perhaps you...
00:31:37I'm quite capable of continuing my round alone, sister.
00:31:41Oh, thank you very much, matron.
00:31:50Nurse Dawson, are you training for nursing or demolition?
00:31:56I'm sorry, sister.
00:31:58Yes, colonel?
00:31:59I heard a crash.
00:32:00What's going on?
00:32:01Oh, nothing.
00:32:02Stop, nurse!
00:32:03Stop, nurse!
00:32:05Oh, I can never find you when I want you.
00:32:07What did you want me for, sister?
00:32:08An emergency admission.
00:32:10Yes, sister.
00:32:10What sort of case?
00:32:11What?
00:32:12Well, stupid nurse Dawson didn't get the details on the telephone.
00:32:15Shall I telephone, sister?
00:32:16I'm quite capable of making a telephone call for myself.
00:32:18Thank you very much, staff nurse.
00:32:20Would you please go and get Mr. Jackson's bed ready for the admission?
00:32:22Yes, sister.
00:32:36Have you been starving yourself, Mr. Gray?
00:32:38Couldn't eat.
00:32:39Such pain, last night.
00:32:41Good.
00:32:42That means that we don't have to starve you, and I can operate that much sooner.
00:32:45Nurse?
00:32:47I'll operate tonight.
00:32:49Yes, Mr. Stevens.
00:33:10Well, what's all this you need on, nurse?
00:33:12Massage.
00:33:13Prevent bed sores.
00:33:14Oh, yeah?
00:33:16Getting to the bottom of the trouble, eh?
00:33:19That's right.
00:33:41Anything wrong?
00:33:42Oh, no, no.
00:33:42No, very nice.
00:34:02Janie, supposing I couldn't ever fight again?
00:34:06Just suppose.
00:34:09Deep down, would you really be pleased?
00:34:13I don't like you fighting.
00:34:16Sometimes I can hardly bear to look.
00:34:19But you're happy when you're pushing someone's face into the middle of next week, and I like to see you
00:34:25happy.
00:34:26So you get that hand better and come out fighting.
00:34:30I'm glad I married you, Jane.
00:34:34I've got a surprise for you.
00:34:36Pickled red cabbage.
00:34:37It's not red.
00:34:38It's ginger.
00:34:39My manager.
00:34:40I'll send him along.
00:34:41What a pity I'm not allowed to bring the children.
00:34:44Yes, it's allowed in the private wards.
00:34:46Oh, well, we couldn't afford that.
00:34:50Hush.
00:34:50What?
00:34:52Oh, nothing.
00:34:53Rhoda, dear, do try to say pardon, not what.
00:34:57Sorry, Henry.
00:34:58Do you like this?
00:34:59What?
00:34:59I mean, pardon?
00:35:01Oh, yes.
00:35:02Oh, very nice.
00:35:03Yes.
00:35:04For when you come home.
00:35:05I bought it with our divvy from the co-op.
00:35:07Rhoda, please.
00:35:08What's the matter, dear?
00:35:10Never mind.
00:35:13Any other news?
00:35:14Oh, we've had a letter from the building society.
00:35:17Rhoda.
00:35:18Oh, no.
00:35:22Ginge.
00:35:23Bernie.
00:35:24Norm as well.
00:35:27Come on in.
00:35:29Well, how are you, Bernie boy?
00:35:31You look great.
00:35:33Just great, son.
00:35:34Great.
00:35:35I'll give him the flowers.
00:35:36Then you'll choke him, gripping him like that.
00:35:38Tar.
00:35:39Tar, Norm, my own sparring partner.
00:35:41How are you, mate?
00:35:41They're fine.
00:35:42Yeah, he's fine.
00:35:44No one will ever know how I suffered when you busted your hand like that, Bernie boy.
00:35:48Hey, Ginger.
00:35:50Why haven't you come in here to see me before now?
00:35:53Well, as it happens, I have got a reason for coming to see you.
00:35:56But that is a reason over and above my natural, warm and human concern as a manager for one of
00:36:01my boys.
00:36:04I am a showman.
00:36:06But I have an unpleasant duty to perform.
00:36:08I have come here to give you a thick ear.
00:36:10I won, didn't I?
00:36:11This was an accident, you know, but I beat him.
00:36:13Too true you won.
00:36:15Too flippin' fast you won.
00:36:16But I had him beat.
00:36:18What do you expect me to do?
00:36:19Dance at Char-Char with him for another five rounds?
00:36:21You've been flippant, been flippant, but I'm glad to see you've got the right idea.
00:36:26I don't understand.
00:36:27You don't understand.
00:36:29I'm a showman.
00:36:30Now, that's what you've got to be.
00:36:31You've reached the stage now when you're right in the public eye.
00:36:34What you need is a gimmick.
00:36:36Gimmick?
00:36:37Gimmick.
00:36:37Belt up.
00:36:38Yeah, a gimmick.
00:36:39Something that the public associates with you alone.
00:36:41You remember Frisco, Freddy.
00:36:43You remember Frisco?
00:36:44Frisco, yeah.
00:36:45Yeah, that's right.
00:36:46He was a boxer who used to ride punches all the time, didn't he?
00:36:48Exactly.
00:36:49He used to ride them.
00:36:50Ride them.
00:36:51The crowd loved it.
00:36:52Yeah, well, look, I could do that.
00:36:54Here, Norm.
00:36:55You used to train with Frisco, didn't you?
00:36:57You used to train with Frisco, didn't you?
00:36:59Yeah.
00:37:00Well, come on, then.
00:37:01Let's show Bernard how you used to spar with Frisco.
00:37:03Here.
00:37:04I'll tell you, it was marvellous.
00:37:06He was just like a ballet dancer.
00:37:08And he used to punch...
00:37:09Hold that.
00:37:10Right, easy now.
00:37:11Punch, ride.
00:37:12Punch, ride.
00:37:14Punch, ride.
00:37:14Very flash.
00:37:15Punch, ride.
00:37:16He used to ride the lot.
00:37:16He did.
00:37:17Until he was ready.
00:37:18And then...
00:37:19Knocked them cold.
00:37:20It did.
00:37:23Nurse.
00:37:24Nurse.
00:37:25Nurse.
00:37:34Just a minute, Mr. York.
00:37:35Hello, what's that?
00:37:36For your bowels.
00:37:37Sit down, please.
00:37:39You, um...
00:37:40given one of these before?
00:37:41Oh, good gracious.
00:37:42Hundreds.
00:37:43Get it down, now.
00:37:45Other end, nurse.
00:37:48Never mind.
00:37:49With a face like mine, it's a mistake anyone might make.
00:37:54Persecution.
00:37:55That's what it is.
00:37:56Persecution.
00:37:57I shall write to the minister for health.
00:37:58Never mind.
00:37:59You live through it.
00:38:00It's a miracle you do.
00:38:02Oh.
00:38:03You all ought to strike.
00:38:04One day.
00:38:05That's all it would take.
00:38:05One day.
00:38:06And the nursing profession would advance a hundred years.
00:38:09Why don't you organise a march to Downing Street?
00:38:12And Sister Anna will carry the banner.
00:38:15Oh, fat-headed farce makes me puke.
00:38:17Beth.
00:38:18That's you settled.
00:38:19Settled?
00:38:20I feel about as settled as an active volcano.
00:38:22No.
00:38:22I don't know.
00:39:12Please don't lie on top of the bedclothes.
00:39:15Mates and rules.
00:39:16Oh, sorry.
00:39:16In bed or out, but never on old Dukie's time.
00:39:19Okay, okay.
00:39:23Yes.
00:39:23Everything all right, Mr. Bishop?
00:39:24Yes, fine, thanks, Matron.
00:39:25I can feel me hand getting better, you know, sort of knitting.
00:39:27Excellent.
00:39:28Keep up the good work.
00:39:29Right.
00:39:33Everything all right, Mr. Eckert?
00:39:35Medically, yes, Matron.
00:39:36Otherwise, no.
00:39:38This is my first day out of bed.
00:39:40I have to move about, I'm told, yet rest when tired.
00:39:43As I have stitches in my stomach, all movement is painful.
00:39:47I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about that, Mr. Eckert.
00:39:49I realize that, Matron.
00:39:50I wonder, though, if you could satisfy my curiosity on one point.
00:39:54I will try.
00:39:56What is the point, Mr. Eckert?
00:39:58Why must I endure the extra pain of getting into and out of bed when I can rest just as
00:40:03effectively lying on top of the bedclothes?
00:40:06I don't like to see men lying about.
00:40:08It makes the ward look untidy.
00:40:09I see.
00:40:10It isn't a medical rule.
00:40:12I don't see what that has to do with it.
00:40:14I'll explain, Matron.
00:40:16If a doctor asks me to hang by one arm from the ceiling, wearing an aqua lung, with my birthday
00:40:23tattooed on my left buttock in shorthand, I'll do it.
00:40:27He aims to cure me.
00:40:29Your rule has nothing to do with my cure.
00:40:31Therefore, it has no meaning in here.
00:40:34Mr. Eckert, I...
00:40:35Excuse me.
00:40:39I wish to rest.
00:40:45Sorry, Matron.
00:40:46I thought your round was over.
00:40:53I'm so sorry that...
00:40:54Sister, this ward is the slackest in the hospital and the untidiest.
00:40:58Oh, but, Matron, I...
00:40:59See that all the beds are remade at once.
00:41:03All the beds?
00:41:04I think you heard what I said, Sister.
00:41:07Good morning.
00:41:11Stop, Nurse.
00:41:12This ward is a disgrace.
00:41:13You have no control over the nurses.
00:41:14But, Sister...
00:41:15It's time we have a little discipline.
00:41:17Remake all the beds.
00:41:18The beds?
00:41:19Beds, beds, beds.
00:41:20Are you deaf?
00:41:21B-E-D-S.
00:41:22Go and do it at once.
00:41:23Now.
00:41:24Yes, Sister.
00:41:27Nurse Axwell.
00:41:28Nurse Axwell.
00:41:29Yes, Sir?
00:41:29Come here.
00:41:31Get new bedclothes for the whole ward.
00:41:33Today?
00:41:34Not tomorrow.
00:41:35Not Christmas.
00:41:35But today.
00:41:36T-O-D-A-Y.
00:41:38Today.
00:41:39Nurse Dawson.
00:41:41Nurse Dawson.
00:41:42Yes?
00:41:44Yes, what?
00:41:45Yes, Nurse.
00:41:47Yes, you.
00:41:48Oh, you're so rude, you student nurses.
00:41:50Come and help me get fresh linen.
00:41:51Hmm?
00:41:52But this isn't the day for us.
00:41:53One more word out of you and I'll report to you.
00:41:55Now, come along.
00:41:57Yes, Nurse.
00:41:59Oh!
00:41:59Oh, you clumsy great oaf!
00:42:02Well, look who's talking!
00:42:03Oh!
00:42:08Ah, good morning.
00:42:09Good morning.
00:42:10Got any fruit bars?
00:42:11No.
00:42:12I've got a sliced nut.
00:42:13Come to the right place to have it mended, haven't you?
00:42:20Oh, dear.
00:42:21Oh, dear.
00:42:24Sit down, Mr. York.
00:42:25Oh, hello.
00:42:29I wanted to...
00:42:45How am I doing?
00:42:47Both up slightly.
00:42:48Any idea why?
00:42:50You know, nursing training is right out of date.
00:42:53What do you mean?
00:42:55Well, they should have taught you that there isn't always a medical reason for a fast pulse.
00:43:02Hello, chaps.
00:43:04Mr. Bell.
00:43:05Ding dong.
00:43:06You're not wrong.
00:43:07This way, please.
00:43:09Hello.
00:43:10Hello.
00:43:11Get into bed, Mr. Bell.
00:43:12I say, look here, nurse.
00:43:14I'm going to be in and out of here inside a few days.
00:43:16Surely I don't have to go to bye-byes.
00:43:18In.
00:43:19Oh, what a bore.
00:43:21Oh, well.
00:43:21You're the governor.
00:43:24What's the matter with him?
00:43:25Mrs. Dale's diary.
00:43:28Tail.
00:43:30You lose.
00:43:31Every five minutes, he's becoming impossible.
00:43:35Well?
00:43:36There's a big annoying lump in my bed.
00:43:39There is.
00:43:39I mean, there is.
00:43:41Where's that fellow Mick?
00:43:43He's not allowed in here, and you know it.
00:43:45If sister catches him putting on bets for you, we'll all be sacked.
00:43:48Well, get a telephone installed in here, and I can do it myself.
00:43:50What do you think this is, an hotel?
00:43:53Hey, um, Oliver.
00:43:56Hmm?
00:43:59I've been meaning to ask you.
00:44:01Was it the anaesthetic, or did I really see a real nice girl come to visit you the other night?
00:44:05Hmm?
00:44:07A girl!
00:44:09Did I see a girl come to see you?
00:44:11Yes.
00:44:12Very nice, too, eh?
00:44:15You're a lucky fellow.
00:44:17What?
00:44:17I said you're a lucky bloke.
00:44:20What on earth are you talking about?
00:44:24Oh, never mind.
00:44:32It's very kind of you to show me the way, Mr. Stevens.
00:44:34Oh, I like to make newcomers feel thoroughly at home.
00:44:37Thank you again.
00:44:39We must have a drink together tonight, to celebrate your first case.
00:44:43Must we?
00:44:44Of course.
00:44:45We have a lot to talk about.
00:44:47Such as?
00:44:48Why, surgery, of course.
00:44:50You're too kind and optimistic.
00:44:53I might botch the case.
00:44:54No, you won't.
00:44:56Good luck.
00:45:10Good afternoon, Dr. Wynn.
00:45:12Good afternoon, Staff Nurse.
00:45:13Mr. Bell's arrived, I believe.
00:45:15This way, Doctor.
00:45:16Good afternoon, Mr. Bell.
00:45:18Good afternoon.
00:45:21Alex Valgus.
00:45:22Straight out of the book, Ness.
00:45:23Yes, Doctor.
00:45:24I'll operate tomorrow morning.
00:45:25Nothing to eat for you today, Mr. Bell.
00:45:27No, of course not, darling.
00:45:28Uh, Doctor.
00:45:30Thank you, Ness.
00:45:37Whoa!
00:45:38Rappacy.
00:45:39She could take out my drain any time.
00:45:42Oh, she's all the compensation I'd want.
00:45:46Cool, how about a couple of rounds with her, eh?
00:45:48Winner-take-all.
00:45:50The sex-mad fools.
00:45:53Anyone for water?
00:45:55Hey, Mick.
00:45:56Where have you been outing, Dr. Wynn?
00:45:57Yeah, why wasn't we done by her then?
00:46:00Oh, she's new and junior.
00:46:02Only handling simple cases for a while.
00:46:04What have you got, Mr. Bell?
00:46:06A Hallux Valgus.
00:46:08Oh, a bunion.
00:46:09Go, blimey.
00:46:11Do you mean he gets hurt for a bunion?
00:46:15Yes, Colonel?
00:46:16Oh, sorry to be a nuisance, my dear, but my bandage has slipped.
00:46:21That's all right.
00:46:22Well, I ought to know.
00:46:24It's flapping about like a flag at half-mast.
00:46:28Any idea what won the 230?
00:46:30None at all.
00:46:31What?
00:46:32I thought you were interested in racing.
00:46:33At the moment, the only thing I'm interested in is getting you settled so that I can get on with
00:46:37something more important.
00:46:38Oh, dear, aren't I important?
00:46:39As a patient, yes.
00:46:41As a congenital gambler, no.
00:46:42My dear girl, your values are all wrong.
00:46:44It ought to be the other way around.
00:46:46What, the bandage?
00:46:47No, no, no.
00:46:48You know what I mean.
00:46:49Where's Mick?
00:46:50He's busy.
00:46:50Won't be too busy to come and see me.
00:46:52If he's any sense, he will.
00:46:54There.
00:46:55Is that better?
00:46:55Yes, thank you very much indeed.
00:46:57Oh, nurse, don't forget about Mick, will you?
00:47:02I love him.
00:47:16There you are, Poppet, to celebrate tomorrow when it's all over.
00:47:20Oh, Megsy, you're a darling.
00:47:21Anything else I can bring you?
00:47:23Any yourself, sweetie.
00:47:24Every single day.
00:47:26How's my car?
00:47:27Oh, not to worry, darling.
00:47:28I took it in for servicing, and it'll be already in time for our little trip.
00:47:32I've booked secluded little hotels all along our route.
00:47:35Separate rooms, of course.
00:47:36Oh, just think of it.
00:47:37A whole week together in separate rooms.
00:47:42Oh, wacko.
00:47:43Starting one week from now.
00:47:45You're sure your silly old Bunyan will be settled by then?
00:47:48Megsy, darling.
00:47:50Everything will be settled by then.
00:47:52Jack.
00:47:55Hey, Janie, I wonder if you'll forget me.
00:47:57Of course not.
00:47:58Oh, I don't know.
00:47:59Kids do, you know.
00:48:00I heard of a case once.
00:48:01Well, not in these few days, silly.
00:48:03Is there anything you want?
00:48:04Yeah, pickled red cabbage.
00:48:06I don't know if you'd be allowed.
00:48:08Well, of course I would.
00:48:09Me hand's got nothing to do with me belly, has it?
00:48:11Well, I'll ask that sister in your ear.
00:48:13Go ahead.
00:48:13Oh, don't go now.
00:48:14Well, I have to, darling.
00:48:15I've left the baby with Mrs. Williams.
00:48:17Oh, yeah.
00:48:18Oh, well, give him a kiss from me, will you?
00:48:21See you tomorrow.
00:48:22Bye-bye.
00:48:23Bye.
00:48:32Expecting her, Oliver?
00:48:33Of course not.
00:48:35Huh.
00:48:35I've got far more important things to worry about than entanglements.
00:48:40It's so sensible having afternoon visiting on half-day closing.
00:48:45Mind you, I expect I could get away from work anyway.
00:48:48Rhoda, my dear, keep your voice down, dear.
00:48:51No need to let everyone know you go to work.
00:48:54Oh, really, Henry, if I didn't know you better, sometimes I'd think you were a snob.
00:48:58I really would.
00:49:02You sure you asked for something to make you sleep?
00:49:05Yes, love.
00:49:05Can I have it tonight?
00:49:07Cynacol or Cynacol or something.
00:49:08Oh, that's a relief.
00:49:10I'd rather have a point of old and mild.
00:49:11I told them to, but they don't know anything.
00:49:13Oh, Bert.
00:49:14Well, they don't.
00:49:23Miss Thompson, I was just thinking about you.
00:49:26Oh, were you?
00:49:26I've been thinking about you constantly.
00:49:29Miss Thompson, Jill, tell me something.
00:49:32I've been thinking of you, too, ever since you came to our house.
00:49:35But Harry said you'd know time for girls.
00:49:37Your brother will be a marvelous doctor someday, but so far he knows very little about the human heart.
00:49:42Oh, Oliver.
00:49:43Jill.
00:49:45I bought you some nugget.
00:49:47Nugget?
00:49:48Don't you like it?
00:49:49I love it.
00:49:51Oh, isn't that wonderful?
00:49:52We like the same things.
00:49:56Oh, I hate to go.
00:49:57There's so much I want to say.
00:49:58Visit me again every day.
00:50:00Promise?
00:50:01Promise.
00:50:02Jill.
00:50:02Oliver.
00:50:16I've told you.
00:50:17She's stuck on you.
00:50:22Oh.
00:50:31I told you.
00:50:33She's stuck on you.
00:50:35Nurse Nightingale reporting staff.
00:50:39I've been sent here by Nightsister.
00:50:41Oh, yes. We have to special a patient, Mr. Mayhew.
00:50:45Have you worked on a surgical ward before?
00:50:46No, Staff. I'm on first-year nights.
00:50:49I've only been on women's medical so far.
00:50:51Come with me.
00:51:06Now, listen. This is a gastrectomy patient.
00:51:08He's lost a lot of blood, and he's having a blood transfusion.
00:51:12While he's unconscious, all you have to do is to see that the needle doesn't come out.
00:51:16Yes, Staff. Now, don't leave him.
00:51:18If there's anything you want to know, if you're in any sort of doubt,
00:51:21just press that button, and Nurse James or I'll be along.
00:51:24I understand. Leave it to me, Staff.
00:51:37I thought you'd like some tea. This is a very boring job.
00:51:44Thanks, Nurse.
00:52:09Staff?
00:52:13He's dead.
00:52:59He's dead.
00:52:59Stand by. He's going to be that sort of a knight.
00:53:02Nurse!
00:53:06I think I feel sick.
00:53:08Hold it.
00:53:19Now, sit up.
00:53:22Staff, he opened his eyes.
00:53:24Really?
00:53:26Yes. Opened and closed them. Just like this.
00:53:31Very interesting. If it happens again, just call me. I'd like to see that.
00:53:35You would.
00:53:58Oh, really? What can you expect, eating filthy stuff like this?
00:54:02It wasn't that. It was that compost heap we had with supper. I shall write to my MP.
00:54:06You do that. Do you feel better now?
00:54:08You do that. Do you feel better now?
00:54:12Whoop!
00:54:12Whoop!
00:54:21Whoop!
00:54:24Whoop!
00:54:25When are we going to get a new sluice, Staff? That old thing...
00:54:28Never mind about the sluice. Go and have a look at Mr. Abel.
00:54:31He's on Cynacol. One never knows how it's going to take some people.
00:54:34I thought it only affected old men, peculiarly.
00:54:36Well, in here, they age fast.
00:54:52Mr. Abel!
00:54:56Are you feeling all right, Mr. Abel?
00:54:59I'm going for a swim.
00:55:01Oh, no. You settle down. Get out of here.
00:55:03No, no, no. You settle down. You settle down.
00:55:04That's a good girl. Now, where's the sea?
00:55:09Take that. That's a good girl. Let's try that. That's all.
00:55:18Impertinence.
00:55:25What the devil's going on?
00:55:27Nothing.
00:55:28You mean, Mr. Abel?
00:55:29Now, get your clothes on, girl. You can't pull on your clothes on.
00:55:31Come along, now. Come along. That's a good girl.
00:55:34Look! Look! Look! Look! Look! Look! Look! Look there! A mermaid!
00:55:56Look out. It's coming back.
00:55:59Streamers!
00:56:03Streamers!
00:56:06Streamers!
00:56:08Streamers!
00:56:09Streamers!
00:56:13What the blue blazes is going on?
00:56:16Nothing, Colonel.
00:56:21I'll go and find out.
00:56:34No!
00:56:38No!
00:56:39No!
00:56:39No!
00:56:39Allow me, nurse, please.
00:56:40Oh!
00:56:41Mr. Bishop!
00:56:42It's all right.
00:56:42It's all right, nurse.
00:56:42I'll use me left.
00:56:44What about me perishing legs?
00:56:46Are you all right?
00:56:46Yes, thank you.
00:56:47Look, I hope I've hurt him.
00:56:49Look, now you go back to bed, Mr. Bishop.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:51Nurse, call the houseman to look at Mr. Abel's jaw.
00:56:55Colonel, will you go back to bed this minute?
00:56:57Haven't had time to lay the odds.
00:57:00Now then, Mr. Hickson, what's happened to you?
00:57:02Nothing, nurse. I always sleep like this.
00:57:06I'll soon get you that meal.
00:57:09He's fine.
00:57:10He'd like some steak and chips.
00:57:12You can have a little sterile water for breakfast.
00:57:16Now, lie still and don't let that needle slip, understand?
00:57:18Yes, nurse.
00:57:19Well, come out of here now.
00:57:25Do you see that man over there without him with trousers?
00:57:27Oh, yes.
00:57:28Well, get some on him and put him to bed.
00:57:30Yes, sir.
00:57:44Fingers and ears.
00:57:45This is ridiculous.
00:57:47Drink.
00:57:49I've done it, staff.
00:57:50Good.
00:57:52Take over, sir.
00:57:55Fingers and ears, please.
00:57:56I can't.
00:57:57Come on, now.
00:57:58I think I'm gonna be sick again.
00:58:07Come on.
00:58:08Come on.
00:58:09Is Mr. Abel's jaw broken?
00:58:11I hope not.
00:58:13You said it was going to be that kind of a night.
00:58:15Excuse me.
00:58:17Oh, he's perfectly all right, staff.
00:58:18Just a drop or two.
00:58:19Oh, good show.
00:58:33Get out of those sleeves.
00:58:35Oh!
00:58:40Oh.
00:58:45It's different from the one in women's medical staff.
00:58:47Better, would you say?
00:58:49Oh, good shame.
00:58:50I just said it was going to be a single day.
00:58:50I can't, Stav. I can't see to get to the nurse's home.
00:58:55My spectacles have gone down the sluice.
00:58:58Nurse, will you take Nurse Nightingale to the nurse's home?
00:59:01Yes, Stav.
00:59:16Now, when do I have my injection?
00:59:17Just as soon as they tell me to give it to you.
00:59:19Oh, the waiting, the uncertainty, the starvation.
00:59:23Oh, don't be such a baby. Your op's nothing to worry about.
00:59:26My only worry is I won't get it.
00:59:28I'm supposing I lose another day.
00:59:29Oh, Jiminy, what a flamed mother.
00:59:32Ah, Mr. Bell, bag in to bed at once, please. You're on this afternoon's list.
00:59:35Sister, I could kiss you.
00:59:41Mr. Bell!
00:59:42Ding dong, carry on.
00:59:45I say, fellows, what do you know?
00:59:47Tonight, they're going to talk about the health service and at home and abroad.
00:59:50Oh, I say. What jolly fun.
00:59:53Isn't it, Percival?
00:59:54And guess what?
00:59:55Last year, the whole thing cost 585 million pounds.
00:59:59Get out of it.
01:00:00I don't believe it.
01:00:01The man just said so.
01:00:04I tell you, it's impossible.
01:00:06Ask him again.
01:00:08I say, would you mind repeat that?
01:00:12Well, no, I nearly did.
01:00:19Nurse!
01:00:20Oh, haven't injected, Mr. Bell. Thank goodness.
01:00:21He can't be operated on today.
01:00:23We have 8 emergencies coming to Wells and Parker. Road smash.
01:00:268. That makes my bunion look a bit silly.
01:00:29Oh, you better put your pajamas back on.
01:00:31Yes.
01:00:32Well, no.
01:00:33I say, nurse, can't they squeeze me in?
01:00:34I've simply got to be done today.
01:00:36I'm surprised at you.
01:00:37I didn't think you'd be so selfish.
01:00:39Selfish?
01:00:40If you knew what depended.
01:00:41Oh, by Jimny, look, I've got a whole schedule.
01:00:44The bunion can wait.
01:00:44I can't.
01:00:45I'm going to discharge myself.
01:00:47But you can't possibly do that.
01:00:49If anything should happen to you.
01:00:50What could possibly happen from a bunion?
01:00:51You never know.
01:00:52There was an article in the nursing mirror.
01:00:54I don't want to hear. I just don't want to hear.
01:00:55Well, don't do anything hasty. You think about it.
01:01:00I say, nurse, could I have something to eat?
01:01:07Where do you think you're going, Mr. York?
01:01:11America.
01:01:12I'm applying for a job. What's your problem?
01:01:14Oh, I, uh, I want the bath.
01:01:16Suppose you fall with the drain in you.
01:01:18No, Mr. York. Back to bed, please.
01:01:20But it's been six days now. I've been picked up twice by radar.
01:01:23Oh, please, let me have a proper bath. I'll be careful.
01:01:25Nurse Dawson?
01:01:27America. That's, um...
01:01:28Yes, staff?
01:01:29See that Mr. York doesn't fall over in the bath.
01:01:33Look, I don't think I...
01:01:44You're not rest yet?
01:01:46I think I'll just have a good wash.
01:01:47You must ask that you're to have a bath. You have a bath.
01:01:49But look, all I...
01:01:50Oh, you baby. Shall I help you get out of the rest?
01:01:53Oh, come along, come along. We haven't all day.
01:02:07Well...
01:02:13Well...
01:02:14What?
01:02:15What?
01:02:21To think I called you a baby.
01:02:31The first time in my life I can't think of anything to say.
01:02:34Neither can I.
01:02:36Wonderful, isn't it?
01:02:37Yes. Darling, why can't you be done tonight?
01:02:40I told you, darling, the theatres are in use.
01:02:42They're not. I've just passed them both.
01:02:43Ah, so they finished the emergencies earlier, eh?
01:02:47Hmm, well, bully for them.
01:02:49Look, it's only a bunion. I'm gonna discharge myself.
01:02:52Jackie, no, I've told you I won't allow that.
01:02:54Your health comes first.
01:02:56I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you.
01:02:58Besides, I shouldn't enjoy our little trip one little bit, for the worry.
01:03:03Now, promise me.
01:03:05All right, darling.
01:03:07There's only one day, I suppose, I'm being done tomorrow.
01:03:09I'm being starved today.
01:03:11Oh, Megsy, darling.
01:03:13Give me a bite.
01:03:15Jack would have us come over you.
01:03:16I'm just hungry, that's all.
01:03:18Why, what's the matter with you?
01:03:19Nothing's the matter with me, Jack. I'm all right.
01:03:24Tell me, are you serious about going to America?
01:03:27Is that really your concern, Mr. York?
01:03:31Yes.
01:03:32Let me warn you. Hospitals have a strange effect on most men.
01:03:36They imagine, well, they think they're in love with the nurses.
01:03:39It happens every week to every nurse.
01:03:41I don't think it's imagination.
01:03:43You do.
01:03:45We'll have to find out who's right before you go to America.
01:03:49Right now, I'm going back inside.
01:03:51I think you ought to do the same.
01:03:58Now, what have you got there?
01:03:59What?
01:04:00Hey, help me and the boys kill these.
01:04:02I'm just in the mood.
01:04:09Oh, God.
01:04:10It's no good.
01:04:10I've simply got to dance.
01:04:15Oh, shut up and sit down.
01:04:21You want Sister to catch us?
01:04:23Clumsy beast.
01:04:25I broke my arm off.
01:04:27I could have set it for you, Mr. Hinton.
01:04:30It's easy.
01:04:32All in this book.
01:04:34Wakefield's Practical Surgery.
01:04:36Fascinating.
01:04:38That book.
01:04:39What's it say about bunions?
01:04:42Page 275.
01:04:44Easy as winking.
01:04:46Do it yourself, surgery.
01:04:49Easy as drinking.
01:04:51Winking.
01:04:52Do mine.
01:04:55Why?
01:04:57Who?
01:04:57Me?
01:04:59You said you could do it.
01:05:00I'm a nuke.
01:05:01A nuke.
01:05:02Well, I'm not a doctor.
01:05:04Look, it's all science.
01:05:05You've got a book.
01:05:07Surely a man of your brains could knock off a little elementary thing like a bunion.
01:05:12Well, supposing I did, what would you tell the hospital people with your bunion gun?
01:05:17Well, I'd...
01:05:18I'd...
01:05:18I'd just say it disappeared in the middle of the night.
01:05:21Just like that.
01:05:22They'd write you up in the lancet.
01:05:24I don't care if they stick me on the front cover of the police gazette,
01:05:27as long as I get my snogging in, as planned.
01:05:29But this loudmouth windbag won't help me.
01:05:32He drinks my bubbly.
01:05:33Oh, yes.
01:05:34But he won't remove my bunion.
01:05:36How could I?
01:05:37What about an operating theater?
01:05:39Both theaters are free.
01:05:45All right.
01:05:47I'll try.
01:05:49Oh, dear.
01:05:52Oh, dear.
01:05:53Oh, hello.
01:05:53Hello, bigger man.
01:05:54We're just having a little party.
01:05:56Well, make the most of it.
01:05:57What?
01:05:58Something up?
01:05:59Only matron's blood pressure.
01:06:01After last night's little riot.
01:06:03Well, tonight she's posting a nurse to sit in the ward.
01:06:06All night.
01:06:08Just to keep an eye on you lot.
01:06:10Good night.
01:06:11Good night.
01:06:12Oh, mate.
01:06:13Oh.
01:06:14What a pity.
01:06:15We won't be able to do it now.
01:06:17Got to stay in the ward.
01:06:19Wait a minute.
01:06:21Now, listen, boys.
01:06:22Strategy.
01:06:23Now, if there's one thing I did learn in the ring, a strategy.
01:06:25How to turn a disadvantage to your advantage.
01:06:28Well, you're not in the ring now, so shut up.
01:06:30Oh, please.
01:06:30Do you mind, Oliver?
01:06:32Now, look.
01:06:33Get around, lads.
01:06:34You two, Doc, come over here.
01:06:36Come on.
01:06:36Come on.
01:06:37Now, look.
01:06:38Here's what we do.
01:06:39This nurse could be our strategic opportunity.
01:06:57Here's what we do.
01:06:59You're going to try.
01:07:02Here's what we do.
01:07:02Here's what we do.
01:07:02Come on.
01:07:02Go ahead.
01:07:03I see.
01:07:11It's your little room.
01:07:11You're in the hall.
01:07:18There's a pilgrim.
01:09:05Right, wash his feet with ether soap.
01:09:06That's the green liquid.
01:09:19Now, listen, chaps.
01:09:20It is septic liquid soap green.
01:09:22There it is.
01:09:29No, no, I'm serious.
01:09:31It's only the champagne.
01:09:32No, no, no.
01:09:33Go on, go on.
01:09:34Get on now.
01:09:35You must...
01:09:36Now, this is the stuff.
01:09:37It's all nicely labelled.
01:09:38Very efficient in these hospitals, isn't it?
01:09:42Oh, it's freezing.
01:09:45So it should be.
01:09:46Oh, it's freezing my foot off.
01:09:48Wouldn't have to worry about the bunion then, would you, Jack?
01:09:50Stop laughing about Bernie.
01:09:52Go and get me some antiseptic.
01:09:54Antiseptic, Brot.
01:09:55Well, then.
01:09:56You know, it says here that you should apply this with a swab and foursets.
01:09:58We don't have time for all the trimmings.
01:10:01Such as an anesthetic?
01:10:03Now, now, look.
01:10:04I don't want to go on with this.
01:10:06I must have been mad.
01:10:07Wayne, everything's going so well so far.
01:10:09Don't be so ungrateful.
01:10:10Of all the trouble we've taken.
01:10:11Why, antiseptic.
01:10:12Now, right.
01:10:13There we are.
01:10:14That's it.
01:10:15That should do.
01:10:16Now, what's next?
01:10:17Uh, five cc's pentothor.
01:10:19Hmm, intravenous injection.
01:10:20I wonder where they keep the intravenous.
01:10:23Now, wait a minute.
01:10:24Do you want this operation or not?
01:10:26I don't want any of you practicing darts on me.
01:10:29But you must have an anesthetic.
01:10:30There's always this, you know.
01:10:32Gas.
01:10:32I don't mind gas.
01:10:35Ah, gas.
01:10:37That's the Boyle's machine.
01:10:38But he's got a bunion.
01:10:40The Boyle's machine.
01:10:42It's over there.
01:10:43It's called a nitrous oxide or something.
01:10:44Wheel that in and get it flowing.
01:10:47Right.
01:10:48Now, what do we need?
01:10:49It's like making a cake, isn't it?
01:10:50Shut up.
01:10:52Those Mark's bandages.
01:10:53They're made of rubber, three inches wide.
01:10:55We wrap them tightly around his legs like a tourniquet.
01:10:57You two get those.
01:10:58Right.
01:10:59And put on masks and gowns.
01:11:00Right.
01:11:01Exciting, isn't it?
01:11:02Won't be long now.
01:11:04Hello.
01:11:05Fine tonight.
01:11:06Not you, you idiot.
01:11:08Him.
01:11:08Look, I don't think I will have gas after all.
01:11:11Well, I'll tell you now.
01:11:12No, of course.
01:11:13It's better news.
01:11:26Oh, sorry.
01:11:28I've gone and done it like they said they would.
01:11:37Mr. Wrington.
01:11:40Mr. Wrington.
01:11:41Uppery!
01:11:44Mr. Wrington.
01:11:49Mr. Wrington.
01:11:52Mr. Wrington!
01:12:00Right, now start unwinding from the foot, but leave a bit of bandage at the top of the
01:12:04leg.
01:12:06Now I need a scalpel to cut the surface of the skin.
01:12:09Two small artery faucets.
01:12:11Oh, biggums.
01:12:12Make it biggums.
01:12:12Nothing but the biggest and the best.
01:12:14An osteotone.
01:12:15What size?
01:12:16It looks like a chisel, but it has two sharp sides.
01:12:18Two?
01:12:19Oh, good.
01:12:20A fine saw, a needle and catgut.
01:12:25That's right.
01:12:26So buttoned on it.
01:12:28Better give him some more gas.
01:12:30We can't have him giggling all through.
01:12:32That's distracting.
01:12:33I agree.
01:12:36What's the matter with you?
01:12:37Nothing.
01:12:38Let's get the knives.
01:13:01Mr. Renton.
01:13:03Wake up.
01:13:05Wake up, please.
01:13:10These will do.
01:13:18What's the matter with you lot?
01:13:20I've got a bunion.
01:13:22I've got the giggles.
01:13:25Stop mucking about.
01:13:27I don't know what's got into you.
01:13:29I've got a bunion.
01:13:30Yes, I do.
01:13:33You careless cruiser.
01:13:35Wait, you.
01:13:35I thought so.
01:13:37Let this thing run.
01:13:43Hold this over his mouth and I'll start cutting.
01:13:48What happens if anything goes wrong?
01:13:51We have to amputate your leg.
01:14:00Humphrey!
01:14:02This is poetry for calling you.
01:14:08I'm sorry, mates.
01:14:15You're tickling.
01:14:17I thought you were asleep.
01:14:19Here, hold him for goodness sake.
01:14:31Nurse?
01:14:32You're asleep on duty, eh?
01:14:47Mr. Hinton.
01:14:48What is the meaning of this?
01:14:51Thank you, Stan.
01:14:52What happened?
01:14:53They all went to the operating theatre.
01:14:57Nurse, please, let me explain.
01:14:58Mr. Hinton, please, let me back my uniform, Mr. Hinton.
01:15:03Oh, no!
01:15:07Elevate the capsule and the periosteum.
01:15:13Well, where is his peri... periosteum?
01:15:17He's made all wrong.
01:15:20Eleanor, he hasn't got one.
01:15:23You must have.
01:15:24All right.
01:15:25There's the diagram.
01:15:26You find his pendant.
01:15:29His periosteum.
01:15:31Well, and you...
01:15:33Hmm.
01:15:41Come find his periscope.
01:15:44Or swabs.
01:15:46Nurse?
01:15:47Yes, sir.
01:15:48Beg pardon.
01:15:49What happened?
01:15:51Silly me.
01:15:54Will somebody give me a bottle?
01:16:01Well, if it doesn't happen today, I don't know what I'll do.
01:16:04All my arrangements are already up the spout.
01:16:06It's frustrating, you know.
01:16:08Yes, I can imagine.
01:16:10I hope you don't mind my burdening you with my troubles like this.
01:16:13Oh, no.
01:16:13Not at all.
01:16:14Besides, looks like they're over.
01:16:17Oh, Mr. Bell.
01:16:18Time for your injection.
01:16:21At last!
01:16:25That's the best news I've ever...
01:16:28What was that?
01:16:29What was that?
01:16:30You sneezed.
01:16:31You've got a cold.
01:16:32Why, sir?
01:16:33Well, you can't have an operation with a cold.
01:16:34Oh, don't be so ridiculous.
01:16:37I haven't got a cold on my bunion.
01:16:39Well, come along inside.
01:16:41I've never heard anything so...
01:16:42In my...
01:16:44Nurse!
01:16:45Nurse!
01:16:46Yes, sir.
01:16:47Get Mr. Bell into the other side ward immediately.
01:16:49Oh, yes.
01:16:49No, Sister.
01:16:50Nurse.
01:16:50No, please, please.
01:16:51I'm all...
01:16:52I'm all right.
01:16:53Please let me have my operation.
01:16:54No, please.
01:16:55Don't stand there infecting all the other patients, Mr. Bell.
01:16:57Go to the nurse at once.
01:16:57But...
01:16:58But you don't understand, Sister.
01:16:59I...
01:16:59I must have it today.
01:17:00I simply must...
01:17:02Achoo!
01:17:02It's nothing, Nurse.
01:17:03I'm perfectly all right.
01:17:06Achoo!
01:17:07Achoo!
01:17:08Achoo!
01:17:09I haven't got a cold.
01:17:10I'm perfectly all right.
01:17:12In you go.
01:17:12I'll collect your face.
01:17:13Oh, Bexie.
01:17:14Jack's not all right.
01:17:15Achoo!
01:17:21Ah!
01:17:26Come in!
01:17:29Now what?
01:17:31Oh, dear.
01:17:32Sounds as if you don't love me today.
01:17:33I don't.
01:17:34You're a naughty old buzzer.
01:17:36Now, come along, Colonel.
01:17:37What is it?
01:17:37Give that to Mick for me, would you please?
01:17:39More horses?
01:17:41More horses, my girl.
01:17:42All right.
01:17:43Just this once.
01:17:44But if Sister found out...
01:17:46Surely she'd forgive a student nurse, wouldn't she?
01:17:49Hm.
01:17:49Fat chance.
01:17:50Really?
01:17:51Perhaps she ought to be reminded of your status, then.
01:17:54Uh, is there anything else, Colonel?
01:17:55Let me...
01:17:56Oh, yes, dear.
01:17:57I'm awfully sorry.
01:17:58I dropped my cigars down there, wasn't it?
01:18:00Would you mind?
01:18:06Oh!
01:18:09Ah!
01:18:10Sorry, dear.
01:18:10I never could resist it.
01:18:15Well, goodbye, everybody.
01:18:17Goodbye, Anne.
01:18:18Goodbye, Mr. Rackett.
01:18:18You sure you've got everything?
01:18:20Quite sure.
01:18:21Thank you, nurse.
01:18:43I've got to give Mr. York his final certificate.
01:18:46I think you'll just catch him.
01:18:48Surely it could be posted, sister.
01:18:50You run after him.
01:18:52Yes, sister.
01:19:07Mr. York.
01:19:10If I have a date tonight, the name's Ted.
01:19:14Ted.
01:19:22Hurry up, nurse.
01:19:24There are other things for you to do, you know.
01:19:26Yes, sister.
01:19:29Nurse Dawson.
01:19:35Goodbye, Bernie.
01:19:38Jeremy.
01:19:41Hello, darling.
01:19:42Hello, love.
01:19:42Hello, son.
01:19:45Do you remember me?
01:19:46Do you?
01:19:47Got a present for me?
01:19:48Come on, and give it to me.
01:19:50Oh, what a punch.
01:19:53Come on, give me a kiss.
01:19:53Oh, that's lovely.
01:19:55Hello, darling.
01:19:57Come on, now.
01:19:59Who told me about this?
01:20:09Right now.
01:20:14Come in.
01:20:18Hello, hello, hello.
01:20:20Hello, Colonel.
01:20:21To what do I owe the honor of this visit?
01:20:23You're going back into the ward tomorrow.
01:20:25That's right.
01:20:26We have to carry out just one final test.
01:20:29Right.
01:20:29It'll only take a few minutes.
01:20:30That's all right.
01:20:37Hey, what goes on?
01:20:38We're getting our own back on the old board.
01:20:41Oh, he's a sport.
01:20:42For the time we're at you with him, you'll need to be.
01:20:44How fortunate I made you, matron.
01:20:47Matron.
01:20:48I have a lot to do today, sister.
01:20:49I must get through my rounds early.
01:20:51Well, I'm afraid everything won't be quite ready.
01:20:52Quite all right.
01:20:53I do hope our troublesome Colonel won't delay me too long today.
01:20:58Come in.
01:21:00Colonel.
01:21:02Whatever's going on?
01:21:04Come, come, matron.
01:21:04Surely you've seen a temperature taken like this before?
01:21:06Oh.
01:21:08Yes, Colonel.
01:21:09Many times.
01:21:10But never with a daffodil.
01:21:14Oh.
01:21:16Oh.
01:21:18Oh.
01:21:18Oh.
01:21:20Oh.
01:21:22Oh.
01:21:24Oh.
01:21:25Oh.
01:21:26Oh.
01:21:27Oh.
01:21:27Oh.
01:21:27Oh.
01:21:28Oh.
