00:27Oh, wow!
00:45Before I came to Poplar, I'd been sheltered.
00:48I was shy, shielded from life's more unsavoury facts.
00:53I'd kept my guard up, kept my head down, kept my distance from the world,
00:59and believed myself content.
01:01What? You're getting a good look, are you?
01:03Be nice. You might well be seeing a lot more of me.
01:08Life in the East End had begun to make its mark.
01:12I was growing bolder.
01:15But there was still a great deal I was keeping in reserve.
01:24Another early one? Aren't they always?
01:26Sometimes you want to tell them to cross their legs till lunchtime.
01:30A happy customer donated half a cow to our dinner table.
01:34Must have been quite a delivery.
01:36Butcher's baby. It's not fireworks, is it, Fred?
01:39No.
01:40Well, that's something at least.
01:43Fred has another money-spinning idea and won't tell us what it is.
01:46You're welcome to Casper. You won't get it.
01:48It's a winner, this one, I'm telling you.
01:49Fortis fortuna adieuvert.
01:52Fortune favours the bold. Thus Virgil.
01:56Quite right, sister.
01:58Caput inter nobilia condo.
02:00I hide my head among the clouds. Also Virgil.
02:04It's too early for Virgil.
02:06Only for the ignorant.
02:07Oh, Nurse Lee. Excellent.
02:10I'm sure you wanted a rest after the night you've had,
02:13but I'm afraid you'll need it.
02:14This is the one, ladies.
02:16I can feel it.
02:18Who's got that big ass on the hill? People will ask.
02:21And it will be me.
02:23You see if it ain't.
02:25And everyone will say,
02:27he's not such a fool as we thought.
02:35The patient is Joe Collett.
02:37He suffers with ulcers on his legs
02:40and requires his dressings to be changed three times a week.
02:43Ulcers?
02:44I know you went on the district nursing rota for several weeks,
02:48but numbers at Nonatus are limited
02:51and the needs of our community are only ever expanding, so...
02:56Of course.
02:57Enjoy yourself.
02:59He is an interesting old man, I have found.
03:07Hurry up!
03:11Sorry.
03:12My blast had slipped.
03:14I took it in last night, but I think I've overdone it.
03:16It's somewhat restrictive to the breathing.
03:18Planning to work in that?
03:20I'm fine.
03:21Unless I bend.
03:22Or sit.
03:23Or laugh.
03:24Or cough.
03:25Or cough.
03:29Morning, officers.
03:31Good morning, sister.
03:33I am so, so sorry.
03:36No, I'm done.
03:37He was something of a menace on that thing.
03:39I know.
03:41Constable Noakes is the, um, the officer I managed to crash into a few weeks ago.
03:46If it's any consolation, she's a menace no matter how she conveys herself.
03:50Well, like I say, no I'm done at all.
03:52Although, maybe it'd be best if you added me.
03:55I wouldn't say no to more of that whisky you brought over.
03:57I'm sure it can be arranged.
03:59The whisky.
04:00Not deliberately levelling you with my bicycle.
04:02Oh.
04:04You look well.
04:05And you.
04:07Very well.
04:09As do you.
04:13Well, I'd best be getting on.
04:16Uphold the law, good sir.
04:19Quite.
04:23Tommy.
04:24Why on earth did I say that?
04:26Times like this I'm more grateful than ever that I took vows.
04:28Now come along.
04:30Oh.
04:50Mr Collett, I'm Nurse Jenny Lee.
04:52I'm here to see about your ulcers.
04:54Ah, yeah, well.
04:56It's my pleasure to have you here.
04:59I'm sure we're gonna get along fine, sir.
05:03Follow me.
05:06I've, er...
05:08I've got the boiling water ready.
05:13Hey.
05:25Um...
05:26Where can I lay out my instruments?
05:28Oh, just move that out the way.
05:40I'm going to clean the wounds now.
05:42It may sting, Mr Collett.
05:43No, Joe.
05:44Joe will do fine, yeah.
05:51Would you...
05:52Would you like a cup of tea?
05:54I'm fine, thank you.
05:56All right.
05:57It's no bother.
05:58Won't take but a minute.
06:00Oh.
06:03Um...
06:08What's wrong?
06:11I'd actually, er, prefer a cold drink.
06:15If you had one.
06:17Then that's what you shall have, my maid.
06:21Oh, no, I can't drink on duty.
06:24I meant orange squash or something.
06:26Oh.
06:27Well, I'm sorry, I...
06:30I don't have anything else.
06:37Doesn't matter.
06:38Yeah.
06:41I got them from gun wounds.
06:44During the war.
06:45The Boer War, this was.
06:47I thought you must be a soldier.
06:49A soldier?
06:51Hardly.
06:53I was 17.
06:56No older than you.
06:57You're flattering me, Mr Collett.
06:59Yes, I am.
07:02Is it working?
07:03Absolutely.
07:05And the, er, beautiful bunch, eh?
07:10Lovely.
07:11Yeah.
07:12My two sons, they, er, joined the Great War and...
07:17...they never came home.
07:19And my Sally.
07:22Yeah.
07:24A firebomb during the Blitz.
07:26Yes.
07:30I'm sorry.
07:32Don't be.
07:34I love them.
07:36They love me.
07:41There.
07:42All done.
07:43Now, are you sure?
07:45I can't offer you a drink.
07:47I'm quite all right, really.
07:49Yes.
07:50Of course.
07:51You have a great deal to do, no doubt.
08:00I have the evening off tonight.
08:02I could...
08:03...come back then and share a glass with you.
08:07If...
08:07...if you wanted that, I mean.
08:09Well, that would be a delight, my mate.
08:14A thousand welcomes.
08:25Oh!
08:29Oh!
08:31Oh!
08:34Oh!
08:52Pregnant, eh?
08:54We're having a baby, you know, me and me wife.
08:57Just found out today.
08:59I'm going to be a dad.
09:00Shh.
09:01Sorry, love.
09:04Got no chance now, have I?
09:05Not now, it's two against one.
09:09Mrs Lawson.
09:10That's us.
09:11Ted and Winnie.
09:13I'm sorry, we don't allow men back here.
09:16I can't stay with her.
09:17I'm sorry, Mr Lawson.
09:19I'll be right here, love, if you need me.
09:21Right here.
09:23We went to the doctors this morning.
09:25I thought Win was ill, didn't I?
09:28Lost me first wife to cancer, so I was thinking the worst.
09:31She's been so tired.
09:33And there it is.
09:35Pregnant.
09:37I thought I was too old.
09:40I've got three already.
09:42I'm most of there growing.
09:45I've never even thought about another.
09:49There.
09:5636 centimetres frontal height.
09:58That means you're 36 weeks long, due in a month.
10:03That's soon.
10:04Your husband said you only found out today.
10:07I knew I was getting bigger.
10:10I knew I was getting bigger.
10:10So did Ted, though.
10:12Listen, we never said nothing.
10:14I thought maybe I was going through the change, or...
10:18I don't know.
10:21Maybe I just didn't want to think I could be in the family way again.
10:25Not now.
10:28Mrs Lawson, are you all right?
10:30Of course.
10:32It's a bit of a shock.
10:34I thought we'd run.
10:35I'm too old.
10:37All that all over again.
10:40It's just a bit of a shock.
10:46Thank you, Mr. Collett.
10:48Joe.
10:49Joe.
10:50Joe.
10:51Yeah.
10:52Well, I...
10:54I was afraid you wouldn't come, but...
10:56Here you are.
10:58Well, of course I am.
11:04How are your legs?
11:05Oh, very comfortable.
11:07Thanks to you.
11:10Do you mind?
11:11Not at all.
11:16This is luxury, isn't it?
11:19Ah, but it is.
11:21When I was young, I would...
11:23I'd never have dreamed of such luxury.
11:26A warm bed at night.
11:28Enough food to eat.
11:32My Sally loved it, yeah?
11:50Twice in one day, I know.
11:51Probably the last thing you want.
11:53But I thought I should drop round your delivery pack.
11:56Come in.
11:59Do you have any questions, or...?
12:01No, you've been kind enough as it is bringing this over.
12:04Now, Ted, I'm sure he'd be full of questions.
12:07Fortunately for you, he's out.
12:08He seems very excited.
12:10He seems very excited.
12:11It's his first.
12:12You must think we make quite the pair.
12:14Not at all.
12:16My first husband walked out one day without a word.
12:19Never came back.
12:21How awful.
12:22With three children to look out for, I got a job in a paper shop.
12:26Ted used to come into that shop every day and just stare at this bar of chocolate.
12:31And he'd leave without saying a word.
12:33I thought he was mad.
12:35Anyway, finally, I asked him, what are you up to?
12:39And he says his wife used to love that chocolate.
12:42Then I started talking to him whenever he came in, and soon enough, he asked me to the pictures.
12:48Later, we were married.
12:50That's lovely.
12:52And truth be told, I...
12:54I didn't marry him for love.
12:57It was for my children.
12:59Making a future for them.
13:01A life.
13:03He's so kind.
13:05So patient.
13:08As time went by, I...
13:10I know I hadn't done the wrong thing.
13:14But...
13:16What's wrong, Mrs Lawson?
13:23Nurse?
13:24Everything all right?
13:26Absolutely.
13:27I just came to drop around the delivery pack.
13:30And that's all fine,
13:31so I should probably be on my way.
13:34I went to get some books.
13:36Margaret Miles' Midwifery.
13:39Grantley Dick Reed, Childbirth Without Fear.
13:41You're no more than me by the time you've read that lot.
13:45I'll see you both soon.
13:50We were only 16 apiece, but I knew she was the only girl in the world for me.
13:58She agreed to wait till I got back from the war.
14:02Three years she waited.
14:05And she was the reason I came back at all.
14:10How romantic.
14:13That's my one weakness.
14:16What about you?
14:19You must surely have a bow in your life.
14:22Not really, Mr Colleton.
14:24Far too busy.
14:25Never.
14:26A lively young girl like you don't believe it.
14:29There'll be plenty of time for romance when I'm older.
14:31Now, how about some more of those biscuits?
14:33Uh, of course.
14:34No, no, I'll get them.
14:40Oh!
14:43Are you all right?
14:44Yes, yes, I'm fine.
14:47I, um...
14:49Do you know, I really think I should be going.
14:51Yeah, of course.
14:52You've had a day's work today,
14:54and you need your beauty sleep.
14:56No, no, don't get up.
14:57I'll see myself out.
15:22I'll see myself out.
15:32How was the old man?
15:33He must have been handsome to keep you out so late.
15:36I had the most terrifying experience.
15:39I looked down and saw, right on the table,
15:44there were hundreds of insects.
15:50Just crawling about.
15:52Oh, those, yes. They are a nuisance.
15:54It was revolting. It set off my asthma.
15:57Poor thing.
15:58Some of the insects I saw in India were as big as your hand and their jaws.
16:02You saw every sharp, glistening tooth, like, trying to bite you.
16:07Oh, sorry.
16:09All the tenements are full of insects. I'm surprised you haven't seen them before.
16:12It's no wonder there's talk of closing the buildings down.
16:14There's always been talk.
16:15They're not hygienic. It's about time.
16:18I hold the insect in high esteem.
16:21I've often wished I had a thorax and a small pair of wings.
16:25Who on earth would wish to be an insect?
16:27We are all God's creatures.
16:30And I would have thought you, above all people, sister,
16:33would appreciate a more slender thorax.
16:36Behave yourself.
16:37I can't go back there.
16:39Not with those things crawling about.
16:41Calm yourself, nursery.
16:42They do not infest human beings.
16:44And as for never going back there, it's out of the question.
16:47But, sister...
16:47Your comfort is not important.
16:50You have a job to do with Mr. Collett, and you will do it.
17:20You have a job to do with Mr. Collett, and you will do it.
17:39Jimmy, what the hell are you doing here?
17:43I'm in a bit of a tight spot, Jenny.
17:46Can I come in?
17:47I'm not dressed.
17:49Please.
17:50Please.
18:00Thanks, Jen.
18:01You're a brick.
18:02Keep your voice down.
18:15How long have you been in London?
18:18About seven hours.
18:20I'm sorry, I did come by earlier, but you were out.
18:24Thank God you've still got that hideous clog.
18:27I saw it in the window, and I knew I had the right room.
18:30I can't believe you're a nun now.
18:31I'm not a nun, you fool.
18:33I'm a nurse who works with nuns.
18:37Thank heavens.
18:38You're far too attractive to be a nun.
18:40Mind your cheek, Jimmy.
18:42If I can't be cheeky to a girl I've known for 18 years, then what hope is there?
18:45What are you doing here?
18:48You remember when you were studying?
18:50I was a bit short of cash, so Chris and I stayed in the drying room at the nurse's home.
18:53I do.
18:54Three months of nail-biting fear that you'd be found out.
18:58Why do you mention that?
19:02Oh, no.
19:04You can't stay here.
19:06A man in Ananda's house, I'd be dismissed for sure.
19:09One night, I've nowhere else to go.
19:17This way.
19:23Better be gone by the crack of dawn.
19:25Scout's on it.
19:33I assume there's a story here?
19:36I have no idea.
19:39I've all told this might be the strangest night of my life.
19:42Good night.
19:45Good night.
20:14Your guest made an early departure.
20:18Jimmy's an old friend.
20:19He had nowhere to stay.
20:21I didn't think.
20:21Don't worry, Nursley.
20:22I shan't be telling any tales.
20:24Since you no doubt caught sight that, well, I had a few overnight guests of me own.
20:29Yes.
20:30They're quails.
20:32I'm a little shorter space at home, and they'll do better in the warm.
20:36It all started with potatoes.
20:39I was growing them, see, but there's no money in spuds, so I switched to onions.
20:42And onions got me thinking naturally of chickens.
20:46Naturally.
20:47And that got me thinking, well, hang on, Fred.
20:51What about quails?
20:52You know.
20:53Not really.
20:54People are always talking about chickens.
20:57Chickens this and chickens that like.
20:59They can't do no wrong.
21:01But I say, move over, chickens.
21:04There's a new fella in town.
21:06You go out.
21:08You taste very similar.
21:09But he's half the size and twice the price.
21:14Uh.
21:16Good for you.
21:17Don't worry, Nurse Lee.
21:19I shall forget you when I'm rich.
21:33I'm telling you, I'm fine.
21:34Shush, just another minute.
21:37She's silly.
21:37I've got to do the washing.
21:39The book says we need to keep alert for any surges in temperature.
21:42You and your damn books.
21:45Let me help with the washing, love.
21:47The book says you'll be unsteady on your feet about now.
21:50We don't want you losing your balance, do we?
21:52I'm not a damned invalid, Ted.
21:55They put those bloody books away and let me be.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:19Nothing to apologise for, love.
22:36Have you seen that smelly old man again?
22:40Bad enough.
22:41I've got madam living on one side.
22:42I've got that disgusting old bugger on the other.
22:45Stinking the place out.
22:46I'm telling you, you nurses ought to have something better to do
22:49than keep running around after you more time.
22:58I'm glad you came back.
23:04Of course.
23:06Ah.
23:08Most.
23:09Got it.
23:10And now, please, you'll join me, seeing as it's the end of the day.
23:16Oh, allow me.
23:22A reunion of the Scots guards.
23:24How exciting.
23:25Oh, yes.
23:26It's quite an occasion, you know.
23:29I used to enjoy them a great deal.
23:31You're not going?
23:33Oh, not for years now.
23:34Thanks to these legs of mine.
23:39Well, what if I were to take you?
23:40Well, I don't want you to feel obliged.
23:44Mr. Collett, it doesn't seem right that a man who fought for his country
23:47should be penned up at home.
23:51Besides, not every girl has the opportunity
23:53to dine with so many men in uniform.
23:56You darling girl.
23:59What a day will happen.
24:02What a day.
24:05In spite of everything, he stays so cheerful.
24:10I only hope I can be like that when I'm old.
24:14Sounds like he's had a full life.
24:17More than just work.
24:18Oh, stop it.
24:20There's more to me than work.
24:23I've had my share of adventures.
24:25Have you now?
24:26When I was 17, there was a concert in London.
24:29My parents wouldn't let me go, so I stole out of the window,
24:33hitchhiked to London, saw the show anyway.
24:36And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
24:40Oh, well.
24:44What else haven't you told me?
24:46Are you secretly married?
24:48Wouldn't you like to know?
24:50Please?
24:54I'll buy you these hideous earrings as a bribe.
24:59No, what about these?
25:04Listen, I was hoping I could avail myself
25:06of the boiler room again tonight.
25:10I thought you were studying to be an architect,
25:12not a professional vagrant.
25:13I know, I know.
25:15But rent's so fearfully expensive.
25:17I can't take any of Mother's money.
25:19She's barely any.
25:20So I've been going from floor to floor.
25:23And tonight's floor has other occupants?
25:26Something like that.
25:28I promise I'll be discreet.
25:30Again.
25:33I'll throw in these.
25:36Oh.
25:38Fine.
25:39Fine.
25:41Although I think I know a way you can pay me back.
25:53Mr. Lawson?
25:55Is your wife on her way, or...?
25:57Actually, it's just me, if that's allowed.
26:00Of course.
26:01I've tried to arrange the nursery.
26:03Make all the preparations, you know.
26:06I've tried to talk to Winnie about it,
26:07but, well, she's busy round the house.
26:11We can talk about the nursery, Mr. Lawson.
26:13But is that why you're really here?
26:17Well, that's Cifra.
26:19Take a seat.
26:23Truth is...
26:25I'm worried about her.
26:27She ain't been herself.
26:30She's been...
26:31closed off.
26:33Barely talks to me,
26:34and when she does speak,
26:35she's angry or she's crying.
26:39I don't know what to do.
26:40There are a lot of hormonal changes
26:42that happen when you're pregnant.
26:44A lot of women can get rather emotional.
26:46But you can't take it to heart, Mr. Lawson.
26:50Support her, and she will get through this.
27:02Oh, my goodness.
27:04You look wonderful.
27:07You should have let me help you.
27:10And missed the look on your face.
27:12Jimmy?
27:15Someone call for the cavalry?
27:20I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Collett.
27:22Then you'll know I prefer to be called Joe.
27:27I'm afraid Jenny hasn't returned the favour,
27:31and I know very little about you.
27:35Well, I'm her secret weapon.
27:37Oh, yeah.
27:51Looks like quite a turn-out.
28:02Private Joseph Collett.
28:04Now, gentlemen,
28:06here is a truly distinguished old guardsman.
28:09Good evening.
28:12To an esteemed old soldier.
28:14To an esteemed old soldier.
28:16Yeah.
28:32I won't forget this in a hurry.
28:34Thank you, Jenny.
28:36The pleasure is all mine.
28:40Maiden,
28:41I do hope you'll forgive me saying that
28:45I do believe
28:46your young man's sweet on you.
28:50I'm sure I don't know what you mean.
28:53You do.
28:55Now, there's a...
28:56I'm sure you have many stories
28:58you can tell us all.
28:59Oh, I don't know.
29:02I do,
29:03and he does.
29:05Yeah.
29:06Stand by, bits!
29:09Now, I don't know how many of you remember your first sergeant major.
29:13The first sergeant major, I think, was first upon poetry.
29:16Magic moments when two hearts are killed.
29:23Magic moments, memories we've been sharing.
29:32Magic moments when two hearts are killed.
29:33I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hayride.
29:37The way that we hug to try to keep warm while taking a sleigh ride.
29:42Magic moments, memories we've been sharing.
29:53Magic moments when two hearts are killed.
30:01Magic moments, memories we've been sharing.
30:01Time can't erase the memories of these.
30:12Excuse me, can you watch where you're going, Lee?
30:15Fred!
30:17You're probably wondering what I'm doing with all these apples.
30:19I wasn't really.
30:21Gonna take them home, dip them in toffee, put them a stick in.
30:24What have you got?
30:25Toffee apples.
30:26Another business venture.
30:28Huge profit margin in this one.
30:30Good luck with it, Fred.
30:32And be careful!
30:36Your alters are improving wonderfully, Mr. Collett.
30:39Joe, please.
30:48What's wrong? You've been awfully quiet.
31:01They're closing the building?
31:03They're tearing the whole place down.
31:06Oh, there's been rumours for years, of course.
31:11I just never thought it.
31:12But why?
31:14They say it's unsound.
31:17Lord knows why.
31:18We're still here after the Blitz.
31:22Me and Sally were here over 50 years.
31:29Raised our boys here.
31:33I suppose all my ghosts will be cleared with the rubble.
31:41And will they rest in peace?
31:43Yes.
31:44I wonder.
31:47Will I?
31:49But where will you go?
31:51Oh, St. Mark's in my land.
31:56When I was young, it used to be a workhouse.
32:00It's not right, Mr. Collett.
32:02They can't make you leave your own home, can they?
32:05Oh, no.
32:08Don't bother so.
32:10Don't cry over an old codger like myself.
32:15It's just a flat, dear.
32:22But the block won't be demolished immediately.
32:24Why can't Mr. Collett stay longer?
32:26At least until we find him somewhere better than an old workhouse.
32:29Nurse Lee, the decision has been made.
32:31The building is being closed and the tenants evicted.
32:33The best you can do is help ease the transition for him.
32:37But it's not fair.
32:39His legs need constant attention.
32:41Who will look after him now?
32:43God once said to St. Peter,
32:45When you are young, you go where you wish.
32:48When you are old, others will take you where you do not wish to go.
32:53He's fred about.
32:54The boiler's making all kinds of noises.
32:56I don't believe he's currently on the premises.
32:58Sounds like someone's clattering about in there.
33:01I'm going to take a look.
33:02Sister!
33:05Sister Bernadette!
33:11Sister?
33:12Yes?
33:14I was thinking...
33:17We ought to grow more vegetables in our allotment.
33:21Whatever you please.
33:22I needed your advice on what to grow.
33:27Because there's so much choice.
33:31Carrots obviously are helpful.
33:35But also cauliflower is delicious.
33:40Do we grow onions?
33:41Oh, please stop wittering about vegetables.
33:43I could not care less.
33:45Ah!
33:53What are you still doing here?
33:55I've slept.
33:56It's so warm in there.
33:57You can't keep coming to stay here, Jimmy.
33:59What if someone comes?
34:04Sister Julianne!
34:07This is Jimmy.
34:08He's an old school friend.
34:09He's here for...
34:13He's an old friend.
34:15And...
34:16And...
34:17I just moved to Poplar.
34:19I work nearby and...
34:20And dropped in to say hello.
34:27Given the hour, I would be remiss if I didn't ask you to join us for lunch.
34:30Oh no, no.
34:31I couldn't.
34:32Nonsense.
34:33You'd be doing us a great service.
34:34We usually entertain retired missionaries and visiting preachers.
34:39A lively young man would be a pleasure for us all.
35:05Hey!
35:07What's that?
35:08I'm all right.
35:09You're not.
35:10You're having contractions, aren't you?
35:13Leave me...
35:14No, no.
35:15The book says that when they're this close together, then the bird's on its way.
35:19We've got to call the midwives.
35:27My word.
35:29If I'd expected this kind of feast, I'd have worn more forgiving trousers.
35:33Frightfully sorry I'm late.
35:34I just found out my old friend Binky is getting spliced at that.
35:39God.
35:41Chummy, this is my friend Jimmy.
35:43Jimmy Chummy.
35:44Yes.
35:45Gosh, marvellous.
35:46Good to meet you.
35:49So, James.
35:50You and Nurse Lee are old friends.
35:52Oh, we go a long way back.
35:55Jenny's always been good to me.
35:57Way back when I used to stay in the drying room at her nurse's home.
35:59Oh!
36:01Nurse Lee, quite the rebel, weren't you?
36:05Um, I...
36:08I remember when four young men were found in the broom cupboard at St. Thomas's.
36:14And we never found the culprits, which was just...
36:17Oh!
36:18That's an awfully roomy cupboard where they're sleeping standing up.
36:22That is too much.
36:24I can...
36:25I can never forget.
36:27What happened?
36:28A culprits fort.
36:29Possibly.
36:31Sister, you can't keep them in suspense.
36:35Oh, I shall remember the hours that we spent.
36:38In age I'll remember.
36:40And not to repent.
36:42Don't say another word, my dear.
36:44It will only debase your memories.
36:48Well, now, we'll never hear the end of the story, sister.
36:50You're quite the spoilsport.
36:52Now, tell me, young man.
36:55When are you two to be married?
37:01Jimmy and I are just friends, sister.
37:04Friends?
37:06Oh, no.
37:07I don't think so.
37:10He's very handsome, isn't he?
37:13I knew a young man that looked like that once.
37:17I think.
37:20Young people have so much licence today.
37:23It must be so precious.
37:26To be young.
37:28And in love.
37:29Well, no arguments from me, sister.
37:32Though I'm not sure Jenny would agree.
37:34Sometimes I think she might be harbouring secret desires to join the Order herself.
37:44I'm glad you think my personal life is such a source of amusement.
37:50I didn't mean any harm.
37:54PHONE RINGS
37:54I'll go.
38:06How are you doing, Mrs Lawson?
38:09Not so bad.
38:10You're gonna be alright, love.
38:11Just take deep breaths, I'm right here with you.
38:14Stop it! Just stop it!
38:16Mr Lawson, do you mind popping downstairs while we examine your wife?
38:20She leaves me here.
38:22We need hot water and good supply.
38:23And warm towels.
38:26Right.
38:27Right, of course. I'll, erm...
38:30I'll get right to it.
38:41What is it?
38:43You listen.
38:55Vita, heartbeat is slow.
38:57Call Dr Downer, please.
39:06I say we gotta go.
39:07I know.
39:09Go where?
39:09Somewhere where no one know me and I won't know no one.
39:12It's not right.
39:14Can't you lot do something?
39:15You sisters, you have a say in how things go on around here, didn't you?
39:18There's nothing I can do, I'm sorry.
39:20Just leave.
39:25Joe?
39:47Still falling.
39:48Where's Dr. Tanner?
39:49He said he'd come as quickly as he could.
39:52Mrs. Lawson, we need you to start pushing.
39:54No. It was too soon. I'm not ready.
40:01Your body's telling you to push. Your baby wants to come out now.
40:05I can't.
40:05Please, Mrs. Lawson, we're just trying to help you.
40:08I can't have this baby.
40:14I can't.
40:16Yes, you can, my love.
40:18Mrs. Lawson.
40:18We're going to take good care of you. Don't worry.
40:21I understand. I'm scared.
40:22What are you so afraid of, Mrs. Lawson?
40:26I'm scared it's going to be black.
40:35I don't care if it's green, red or orange.
40:37Your child's heart rate is dropping and I need you to start pushing.
40:40Now.
40:53Perfect. That's just right.
40:55Now I need you to do that again.
40:56I can't.
40:57You have to.
41:06Get the towel ready. There's no asphyxiation.
41:09What's wrong?
41:10Everyone's got the cord around its neck.
41:12But don't worry.
41:14We'll take care of that.
41:16We've done it plenty of times.
41:19It's too tight.
41:20Get me the clamps.
41:23What's happening?
41:24You're doing brilliantly, Mrs. Lawson.
41:26Now just hold off pushing for me.
41:28Get up, stay.
41:29Breathe.
41:31And breathe.
41:35I got here as fast as I could.
41:40Cord's clamped now.
41:42Mrs. Lawson, we just need to cut this.
41:49Now, Mrs. Lawson, we just need one last big push.
41:53We just need one last big push.
42:28There's a heartbeat.
42:31Why isn't my baby crying?
42:34What's happening?
42:35Let's just give it a minute.
42:38Let his lungs adjust.
42:50It's a boy.
42:52Let's see him.
43:20I'll...
43:22Go and give your husband the good news.
43:28I'll let you know when the placenta's delivered.
43:35Shh.
43:35Shh.
43:37There, there, now.
43:47It's a boy.
43:49A boy.
43:51My little boy.
43:53Uh, it's probably best to wait a little until she's, uh, she's ready for visitors.
44:00Right.
44:02Right.
44:04When Ted and I first married, I didn't know how lucky I was.
44:10I felt trapped being with him.
44:14One night I stayed out late, I'd had a drink.
44:20It's when I let Navi with a nice smile charm me.
44:25One night is all it was.
44:27One night.
44:31It took me so long to find Ted.
44:35To really find him.
44:39I'm gonna lose him.
44:41You don't know that.
44:43No offence, sweetheart, but you live and work in a convent.
44:46In the real world.
44:48Black baby.
44:48You're going to be being lost.
44:49You're going to be by.
44:50Oh, look.
44:56Cool.
44:56Go, your autogEx.
44:57Oh, look.
45:17I'll be here.
45:31You can come up now, Mr Lawson.
45:39Boy, you don't know what this means to me.
45:57Can I hold the baby?
46:48I don't know what this means to me.
46:59I don't reckon to know much about babies, but I can see how this is the most beautiful
47:05baby in the world.
47:11What are we going to call him?
47:14Why don't you choose Ed love?
47:19We'll call him Edward, then.
47:22Good old family name.
47:25My son, Ted.
47:37Oh, my word.
47:39What do you think he didn't notice?
47:41He was emotional, excited.
47:43He wasn't thinking straight.
47:44Or he chose to ignore it because he loves his wife and wants to spend his life with her.
47:49Well, time will tell, I suppose.
47:55Well, Constable Noakes, what are you doing here?
48:01Actually, I'm here to see Fred.
48:11What can I do for you, Constable Noakes?
48:13I came to warn you about your toffee apples.
48:15There have been complaints that there are feathers stuck to some of your apples.
48:19Well, what's a few feathers here and there don't make a difference.
48:23There have also been reports that some apples have, well, that they have blood on them.
48:29What are you getting at?
48:30You're slaughtering quails in the same place you're making toffee apples.
48:34That's illegal, Fred.
48:35There's some safety boffins on their way to your house to shut you down.
48:40Look, I'll tell you what this is.
48:42This is persecution.
48:43That's what this is.
48:44This is government interference.
48:46And I won't put up with it.
48:47I won't stand for it.
48:48I'll fight him.
48:48I will.
48:49I'll fight him in court.
48:50Well, you could just dash back and take care of things before they make their inspection.
48:55Yeah, I could do that.
48:56Good night.
49:04Good night.
49:05Evening.
49:07Good evening.
49:13You look well.
49:15Well, how do?
49:27Enough.
49:27I cannot watch any more.
49:30Constable Noakes, would you like to take Nurse Brown to the pictures on Friday evening?
49:36I, er...
49:38Simple question.
49:39Yes or no?
49:42Yes.
49:44Yes, I would.
49:46Nurse Brown, would you like to go?
49:50I'd love to.
49:52Excellent.
49:54How marvellous do you both.
49:56Now I can get on and enjoy me cake.
50:04Have you come to scrounge your bed again because I'm not in the mood?
50:07I came to apologise.
50:09I brought chocolates.
50:11I'm sorry I offended you at the lunch.
50:12I meant nothing by it.
50:18I may be private about my feelings, Jimmy.
50:20It doesn't mean I'm about to become a nun.
50:22I know.
50:23It was a joke.
50:25And not a very good one.
50:28There was no way to repair your kindness over the last few weeks.
50:34I'm on my way out.
50:39I promise not to come bothering you any more.
50:47Bye.
51:26I told you I'd visit, Mr Collett.
51:30My maiden, you...
51:31You come here.
51:34I went to your flat and got quite a surprise.
51:37Oh, yeah.
51:37I'm sorry.
51:38I...
51:39I don't like goodbyes.
51:41But besides, you're here now and I'm...
51:43I'm grateful for it.
51:45Are you comfortable?
51:47Oh, yes.
51:48Doing very nicely, thank you.
51:52How are your legs?
51:53Oh.
51:54A little bit itchy now and again here.
51:58Did you know they don't let you smoke in here?
52:00You're only allowed out on the steps.
52:05Can't find anyone to take me.
52:10They're very busy, I suppose.
52:16Well, I'm not.
52:19Hmm.
52:20But...
52:22Sheer luxury.
52:24Ha!
52:31Oh, they're looking after you here, Joe.
52:34Oh, hush, hush.
52:35Enough of that.
52:36Let's just enjoy each other's company, shall we?
52:43How's that young man of yours?
52:45He's not my...
52:46Not your young man, yeah.
52:48I know.
52:49I know.
52:53I miss my family.
52:56Their absence is an ache I feel every waking moment.
53:00But if you open yourself to love, it follows you open yourself to heartache.
53:07You'll know the secret of life, my dear.
53:10When you know how to love.
53:13Away for the ending of the day...
53:20Creator of the world we pray,
53:24That with Thy wonted favour, Though,
53:31Would'st be our guide and Keeper now,
53:35From all ill dreams defend our eyes
53:41From nightly fears and fantasies
53:47Tread under foot our ghostly foe
53:53That no pollution we may know
54:01Oh, Father, that we ask Thee don't
54:06Removed from his home and the care of district nurses,
54:10Joe could not be given the necessary care.
54:13His ulcers became gangrenous
54:15and both legs had to be amputated at the knee.
54:19And live and reign eternally
54:26Amen
54:28It's me, Mr. Collett
54:32Joe, it's me
54:36Jenny
54:39My legs are itching
54:43Could you scratch on my mind
54:47It's terribly itchy
54:50Of course I will
54:56Don't cry
54:57I'll be all right
55:08Lord, now letest thou thy sorrow depart to peace
55:18According to thy word
55:23All mine eyes have seen
55:28Thy salvation
55:33Which thou hast prepared
55:41Before the face of all people
55:47To be a light to lighten the gentiles
55:56And to be the glory of thy people
56:02Joe died soon after his operation
56:06There was no last post
56:09No solemn drum roll
56:11No solemn drum roll
56:13No final salute
56:14World without end
56:19Amen
56:29Joe remembered me in his will
56:32He didn't have to
56:33For I would not forget him
56:36I'd seen so many lives begin
56:39But it was the end of his that opened up my heart
56:49I hear singing and there's no one there
56:56I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
57:03All day long
57:05I seem to walk on air
57:08I wonder why
57:12I wonder why
57:16I keep tossing in my sleeve at night
57:21Mr. Lawson
57:24How is the little one?
57:26Some kind of cough, I think
57:28But I'd better get him looked at
57:30Stars that used to twinkle in the sky
57:34He still seems besotted
57:35He certainly does
57:40Ted loved purely and completely
57:43And he asked no questions
57:46And in the end
57:48Nor did anybody else
57:50I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
57:54To Joe
57:56My friend
58:00To Joe
58:09It seems I'm going to a dance
58:11Voluntarily
58:13Aren't we the lucky fellas?
58:19Jillian!
58:20Have you seen my baby?
58:21She was in her perhaps?
58:22Please, someone help me
58:23Someone help me
58:23Someone's taken my baby
58:24She was overheard stating she wanted to hurt her baby
58:26That's utterly ridiculous
58:28I love her
58:29I love her
58:30Don't hurt her for the world
58:30Help, help me
58:32Help me, please
58:33It will be distressing
58:35Are you sure you'll be able to handle it?
58:38Of course
58:38It is not so surprising
58:41That you feel very strange but nice
58:47Your heart goes pitter-patter
58:50I know just what's the matter
58:53Because I've been there once or twice
59:00Put your head on my shoulder
59:03You need someone who's older
59:06A rub down
59:08You need someone who's older
59:08I love her
59:09Because I'm literally
59:09A Pewter
59:09A Pewter
59:09A Pewter
59:10A Pewter
59:10A Pewter
59:10A Pewter
59:11A Pewter
