00:03Are you going to be okay when I'm gone?
00:06It's my fifth tour.
00:07Of course I will.
00:09I've got to go.
00:13I'm Kate Barkley, Colonel Barkley's wife.
00:16Let's come up with some exciting activities to do
00:18while our service people are away.
00:21What about singing?
00:22Singing?
00:23Let's just get the strippers in.
00:25This singing club is going to be a lot of fun and uplifting.
00:28And there will be a few beers afterwards.
00:33So!
00:35No, sorry.
00:36No, no, no, go ahead.
00:38Thanks very much, Lisa, that's lovely.
00:39This reminds me of when my parents got divorced.
00:43Are you going to play that thing without any music?
00:45Reading music makes things a bit stilted.
00:47I'm not sure Mozart would agree with that.
00:49One, two, three.
00:55That was like the incantations of a bunch of witches.
00:57A bit dramatic.
00:59If you think singing with a pole up your arse is what the women need,
01:01then you're more out of touch than I thought.
01:05More troops are being deployed to Afghanistan.
01:08I just feel sick all the time.
01:10Every time the phone rings, every time the doorbell goes.
01:12You may not need the choir, Lisa.
01:15But those women do.
01:23Sometimes when I think of her name, when it's only a game.
01:30And I need you.
01:38Tub Brass heard you rehearsing and you've been invited to sing at the Festival of Remembrance.
01:43What?
01:44The big one.
01:45On TV.
01:46This is going to be a disaster.
01:48This is a professional event.
01:50We cannot embarrass ourselves.
01:51What are you doing?
01:52Checking my heart rate.
01:53Okay.
01:53Well, you don't let you choke on yourself.
01:55There are going to be so many people like us with loved ones at risk.
02:00And I want to do this for them.
02:03I know that it feels a bit much.
02:05But if we can survive the last five months,
02:08we can survive five minutes out there.
02:11Maybe this choir isn't about singing for ourselves.
02:15It's about being heard.
02:20Come and see.
02:21No, thank you.
02:22It's like childbirth.
02:23Best to be completely oblivious until it's happening.
