MATURE JENNY: In Poplar in 1960,
3
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,278
the midwives of Nonnatus House
were on perpetual duty.
4
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,677
New life arrived with every season,
5
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,438
at every time of day.
6
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,758
And in the mists and darkness
of the autumn...
7
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,955
Nearly there, my love.
8
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,508
... birth sparked a little light
into the gloom,
9
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,950
bringing mystery and hope,

00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,197
the unknown and the longed-for,
11
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,115
burning like a candle in the night.
12
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,551
We've got her from here, Mr Dent.
13
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,109
All right?
14
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,438

Thank goodness the water in Bow
is only off for tonight.

We're bursting at the seams.
18
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,032
Ah, Mrs Dent.
19
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,199
Let's get you settled.
20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,958
We've the delivery room ready
21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,077
and I've commandeered Dr Turner's
office as a second delivery area,
22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,959
though I'm just wondering if I should
call in another pair of hands?

Delivering a baby

all kinds of carnage,
25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,033
that's a challenge.
26
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,509
But a lack of running water
in a packed ward?
27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,556
We'll take that in our stride,
Mrs Turner.
28
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,309
No, it can't be.

It's me, Shirley Copper.
Well, Dent now.

00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,712
That's about right,
I can't walk two paces
34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,119
without bumping into something.

Bow Girls, '48?
36
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,993
I was going out with lan Dent
37
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,116
and you were stepping out
with that posh one from the grammar.
38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,997
Oh, he fancied himself something rotten.
39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,316
What was his name? Geoffrey...

Godfrey. My husband.

00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,559
You ain't changed a bit.
42
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,910
I sent a Christmas card
every year to your mum's.
43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,231
Well, if this ain't
the cherry on the cake.

This'll make the time fly by, won't it?
45
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,758
Let's get you into bed, Mrs Dent,
46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,353
see how far along you are.
47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,354
And you've done all of this
with your pinhole camera?
48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,078
Imagine what I could do
with a real camera, Dad.
49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,675
Getting into the Photographic Club
almost guarantees you a merit badge.
50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,440
As does making sure this
bathroom is back in working order
51
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,476
by the time Mum comes off duty.
52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,192
You didn't have to walk me home.
53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,551
Well, I take the safety
of my volunteers very seriously.
54
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:08,471
Anything could happen
this time of night.
55
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,594
You didn't seem too bothered
about Arthur Tuft,
56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,153
he lives in Limehouse.
57
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,916

Oh, don't be daft,
I know everyone round here.

Besides, I've got protection.

to ask you to do some little breaths,

Yeah, if you like, like the flute.

00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,788
May I put your husband down for it,
Mrs Mills?
181
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,313
It's free of charge
182
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,868
and you can't possibly manage
like this at your age.
183
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,478
Will you tell the lady she's very kind
184
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,437
but we wouldn't need a service.
185
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,435
But the damp,
it's a terrible risk to your husband.
186
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,074
I see he had pneumonia
this time last year.
187
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,673
Thank you, Nurse Gilbert.
188
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,268
We're so sorry
to have disturbed you, Mrs Mills.
189
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,351
- I'll come back tomorrow.
- All right.
190
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,312
I don't understand.
191
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,233
Surely she would benefit from
the service more than anyone?
192
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,639
She's so frail.
193
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,111
Mr Mills would be terribly upset
194
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,555
if he thought he was on a list
in a council office
195
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,232
or at Nonnatus.
196
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,837
You do know he's a relative of Fred's?
197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,392
- I had no idea.
- And Mrs Mills may be frail
198
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,755
but her pride's strong.
199
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,308
We must help her keep hold of it
as long as she can.
200
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,674
I just want to help.
201
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,597
I see he suffers with bedsores
202
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,069
and, well, this would be one thing
off their plates.
203
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,079
Sometimes we have to wait
for our help to be asked for.
204
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640
Nurse Crane wanted a tick
against every name on the list.
205
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,151
Then, with the greatest of respect,
206
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,550
Nurse Crane will have to be patient.
207
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,914
Now, everyone,
208
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,356
because we can't care for you
in the Maternity Home,
209
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,113
we're going to visit you daily
in your own homes.
210
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,351
But if there is anything
that concerns you,
211
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:23,471
you telephone us immediately.
212
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,719
Your husbands are expecting you.
We've informed them all.
213
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,996
Mr Smith will pick you up himself.
214
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,399
He's on his way.
215
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,869
Mrs Lawes, Dr Turner will see you now,
please come through.
216
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,394
I thought we was goners.
217
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,636
It's all been very upsetting,
I must say.
218
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:41,794
What a little darling.
219
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,630
And yours. She's lovely, Shirley.
220
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,831
Did you hear
what Auntie Goldilocks said?
221
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,148
Marion, are you all right?
222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,072
She's beautiful.
223
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:01,595
SHIRLEY: Can you believe it?
224
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,910
We don't see each other for years
and here we are,
225
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,473
daughters on the same day.
226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,314
That's fate, that is.
227
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,200
You probably don't remember Shirley
from school, do you?
228
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,359
Take baby, Godfrey.
229
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,233
I want to get home.
230
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,078
Well, that's us, then, Shirley.
231
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,231
Oh, right. You on the phone?
232
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,151
Well, I don't suppose
there's much point,
233
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:25,118
we're moving to Basildon.
234
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,236
That's even more reason
for a good old natter.
235
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,754
School's a long time ago, Shirley.
236
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,592
We've both got busy lives now.
237
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,429
Right you are.
238
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,949
- Your usual, dear?
- Thank you, miss.
239
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,989
- Will there be anything else?
- Oh, no, miss.
240
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,479
Thank you. You're very kind.
241
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,116
(ONLY THE LONELYPLAYING ON RADIO)
242
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,276
Are you sure you don't want me to stay?
243
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:18,879
Delia won't mind.
244
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,878
Don't be ridiculous.
245
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,431
Even if you do so obviously
prefer her company to mine.
246
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,752
Patsy, I'm quite all right.
247
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,639
No one was hurt.
248
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,118
Besides, I need to read
my copy of Vogue,
249
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,032
there's a waiting list for it after me.
250
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,275
Go.
251
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,632
I'll try to be quiet coming back.
252
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,074
It was terrifying.
253
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,758
Evangelina, terrified?
254
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,193
You've met her, haven't you?
255
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:16,789
Sorry.
256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,432
Just don't know
what I'd do if I lost you.
257
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,194
I'm the same.
258
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,750
I sometimes feel as if we're ghosts.
259
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,515
Half with each other
but mostly without.
260
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,196
I think it would be easier to do
what everyone's so bloody insistent on
261
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,714
and get married and just accept
that you and I can never be.
262
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,756
Delia, do you think I can bear it?
263
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,429
I think you cope better
with facades than I do.
264
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,277
Can we buy two pretty girls a cake?
265
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,715
We don't like cake.
266
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,998
You don't really want
to get married, do you?
267
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,794
Yes. More than anything.
268
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,392
To you, you fool.
269
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:19,959
But I can't.
270
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,559
So that's that.
271
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,239
You dip a little at the bottom,
Nurse Mount.
272
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,119
Not for the first time.
273
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,436
Do you think it's wise for the children
274
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,829
to be carrying turnips
with lighted candles?
275
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,518
Well, it is a lantern parade.
276
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,076
It is the turnips' glow
that lights the way of the dead.
277
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,392
Do you mean ghosts, lady?
278
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,879
No, dear, of course we don't.
279
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,070
Do not speak for the pagans.
280
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,669
They say
281
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,594
Halloween is the night that the dead
return to walk among us.
282
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,557
Which we have absolutely
no evidence for.
283
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,039
You mustn't worry, dear.
284
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,792
Jesus came back from the dead
285
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,839
and did miracles so is Jesus a ghost?
286
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,638
I'd like to see a ghost.
287
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,358
You can put your hand through them,
288
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,873
they feel like a cloud.
289
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,679
I've never touched a cloud
290
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,876
but I bet it feels like candyfloss.
291
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,234
(CHUCKLES)
292
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,998
WOMAN: Glenda Severs, come back at once.
293
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,277
My mother's dead.
I should like to see her.
294
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,918
Will you bring her back for Halloween?
295
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,149
Glenda Severs!
296
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,357
I don't think either of us
actually heard you say no.
297
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,877
Am I the authority
on all in heaven and earth?
298
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:06,469
- Fred?
- Mmm-hmm?
299
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,313
Do you think you might find
the time to visit Mr Mills?
300
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,388
I know he and Mrs Mills
are on their own a good deal.
301
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,877
I'm sure your friendly face now and then
would be much appreciated.
302
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:18,348
If you get the time.
303
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,114
Oh, sister, I'm so glad I caught you.
304
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,792
I couldn't sleep last night
305
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,677
for worrying about
how I'd rather put my foot in it
306
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,797
- with Mr and Mrs Mills.
- You mustn't upset yourself.
307
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,156
A friend of a friend, a nurse,
she's making a study of bedsores
308
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,390
and I thought it might be
useful for you,
309
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,674
to help Mr Mills.
310
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,876
She advises against cleaning
the sores with hydrogen peroxide.
311
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,037
She can't be suggesting we do nothing.
312
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,153
She seems to have had success
by simply turning the patients
313
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,554
every two hours.
314
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,711
Oh, of course I'll read these
315
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,957
but I just don't know if I could
manage to visit every two hours.
316
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,838
Then might I help you?
317
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,960
Now, how are we doing
on my laundry take-up?
318
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Getting there, Nurse Crane, pushing on.
319
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,279
I believe it was you who said,
320
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,635
"Softly, softly, catchee monkey."
321
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,194
Hmm. Not too soft, mind,
322
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,998
or monkey scarpers.
323
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,029
I must say, I'm rather surprised.
324
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,469
(BABY CRYING)
325
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,437
She's gained a whole two ounces.
326
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,639
That really is very well done.
327
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,909
Jackie.
328
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,395
Though if you heard lan,
you'd think she were called Princess.
329
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,708
(CHUCKLES)
330
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,073
Oh, glad to see
you're concentrating on security.
331
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,155
Well, now that you've made
me all nervous, Fred...
332
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,232
Sister Monica Joan is doing
something with turnips
333
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,834
and she wants some nice ribbon
to hang them on.
334
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,195
Right. Well, if you're hanging them
in the hollow,
335
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,191
then the half-inch
should be strong enough
336
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,234
but take the inch-wide.
Be on the safe side.
337
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,274
My dad's cousin.
338
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:18,958
He's not too good these days.
339
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,035
I haven't been in
as much as I should have.
340
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,878
I've left things
341
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,118
and now I don't know
quite where to start.
342
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,875
Fred, you just go.
343
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,232
It's just...
344
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,037
I'm no good at the old chit-chat.
345
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,156
Oh, Fred.
346
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,788
I had that dream again last night,
347
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,312
you know the one I get.
348
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,359
The one... The one I had
at the end of the war.
349
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,999
When I came home?
350
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,432
And I could smile again.
351
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,194
We danced all night.
352
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,558
- Ow, ow, ow.
- Gert?
353
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,913
Oh, it's just old bones,
that's all, dear.

- BARBARA: Nonnatus House calling!
355
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,918
There. All fresh again.
356
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,433
Now, Mr Mills, this is Nurse Gilbert.
357
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,910
She has some very interesting
suggestions as to how we might help you.
358
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,990
By turning you every few hours,
359
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,594
we should relieve some of the pressure
on your bedsores.
360
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:22,076
We hope you'll be more
comfortable as a result of it.
361
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,752
No, no, no, no. Don't trouble yourself.
362
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,673
Oh, nurse, if you could make
him more comfortable.
363
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,716
We'll do our best, Mrs Mills.
364
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,915
In the meantime, I'm afraid
365
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,389
you'll have to put up
with seeing a little more of us.
366
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,917
Let's pop you on your side, Mr Mills.
367
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:42,912
One, two, three.
368
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,199
Now, then, Deborah, what have
you got to be grizzling about,
369
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,633
- hey?
- (CRYING)
370
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,632
What is it, sister?
371
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,189
There's a blueness to her lips,
372
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,272
I would like doctor to have
a little look at her.
373
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:04,112
May I use your telephone?
374
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,316
My old dad loved that picture house,
375
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,311
it's where he met my mum.
376
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,231
Same for me and Gert.
377
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,754
Oh! Oh, let me help, Mrs Mills.
378
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,798
Oh, no, dear.
It's just lovely you're both here.
379
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,510
She's very nice, Frederick.
380
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,158
Yes, she is, isn't she?
381
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,756
TOMMY: Fifty years married, we are.
382
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,231
Not ever apart,
383
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,388
except for the war.
384
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,152
Oh, that's lovely.
385
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,357
And you each know what the other's
thinking before you even think it.
386
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,908
And you don't need to talk, even.
387
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,670
Me and my Bert weren't together
that long but we was just as happy.
388
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,110
I'm going to have Deborah seen
by the Hospital for Sick Children.
389
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,270
I can't be sure but I'm picking up
what may be a heart murmur.
390
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,189
Oh, Lord.
391
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,555
Now, Mrs Smith, worrying won't help.
392
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,192
Great Ormond Street
has some wonderful doctors.
393
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,999
The hospital has
a specialist heart unit.
394
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,153
Mrs Smith,
we will find out what's wrong.
395

Oh.
396
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,836
I thought I'd save you a journey.

That'll be the nurse.

00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
She mustn't be troubled,
she's got Tommy to care for.
401
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:45,352
I'm sorry, Mrs Mills, but this
can't pass and you'll not dissuade me.
402
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,035
Oh, whatever's the matter?
403
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,678
I can't worry Tommy.
404
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320
You're right and
that's why you must be helped.
405
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,070
Please, Mrs Mills, let me help you.
406
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,278
- Oh, I manage, Nurse.
- You don't have to manage alone.

Oh, Mrs Mills.

There are dressings in the tin.
410
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,117
But they're for Tommy.
I shan't take from his care.

Gert kept all that worry to herself
because she didn't want to upset Tommy.

00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,873
They couldn't live without each other.
You can see it, can't you?
415
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:36,953
You need a hot drink.

are using in Soho.

on one of the bikes.

within her heart.

when it would have been.

- Oh, hello.

You will give it to her, won't you?

How will she be complete?

00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,790
How will she love if it's opened up,
if it's changed in any way?

Her soul won't be touched, my love.

in order that it obtain enough oxygen.

Nothing would be done

But if it can wait until then,
why does she need it at all?

but Glenda wants to see her very much.

Oh, Mr Severs, I had no idea.

Well, it's not something
a man wants to talk about.

How his wife cheated on him.
524
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,392
But I loved that little kid

a ghost than know the truth,

even wrote to ask after her.

to be seen by a specialist.

00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,192
I feel rather different
about saving your bacon now, Mum.
876
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:31,633
Ooh!
877
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:37,036
Well, perhaps we'll feel different
about your pocket money on Saturday.
878
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,399
You photograph each baby,
when it's born.
879
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,793
That way no one will ever
lose their mothers
880
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,678
and you won't have to feel rotten
about something that wasn't your fault.
881
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,279
Oh, Tim!
882
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:52,395
Thank you.
883
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:58,870
Now, my finger definitely
won't be over the lens this time.
884
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,956
So we have the chance...
885
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:09,516
of a picture worth keeping.
886
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:15,991
(CAMERA TIMER BUZZING)
887
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:19,592
Say "cheese".
888
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,316
ALL: Cheese!
889
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,915
She will live, won't she?
890
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:37,196
They don't make promises.
891
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,754
She'll need so much care, Shirley.
892
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:43,992
We were friends once.
893
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,275
We're not children any more.
894
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,955
Deborah may not live.
Why would you take that on?
895
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,838
Because I carried her for nine months
896
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,151
and I loved her more with every day.
897
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,588
I don't want another minute
without my baby.
898
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,553
(BABY COOS)
899
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:07,552
(CRIES)
900
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:12,515
You carried Jackie,
how could you be without her?
901
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,638
I can't think that way.
902
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:18,231
It isn't right what's happened
903
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,436
but it's happened
and we have to just go on.
904
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,112
(BABY CRYING)
905
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,917
I don't want a choice.
906
00:54:26,720 --> 00:54:30,315
I don't want to wonder
and I don't want to compare.
907
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,914
I want to love what feels like mine.
908
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:40,154
You can't even stop her crying.
909
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:53,992
You couldn't manage Deborah.
910
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,553
(INHALES SHARPLY)
911
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,232
I can't let her down.
912
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,431
- (BABY COOS)
- She needs me.
913
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,872
(BABY CRYING)
914
00:55:11,240 --> 00:55:12,912
They both need us.
915
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,273
Do you think I could bear
to lose Jackie?
916
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,828
The thought of it makes me ill.
917
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:37,069
This ain't in my head, Marion,
this is in my heart.
918
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,870
I need to be with my baby.
919
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:44,833
(COOS)
920
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:50,996
Shhh.
921
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,390
I'm sorry what I said the other night.
922
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,434
Truth is I always wanted to be like you.
923
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,279
You always seemed happy.
924
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,875
(EXHALES) It's because I was.
925
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,752
I had my best friend.
926
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,839
We go forward, sister.
927
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:44,879
Together.
928
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:48,193
As a family.
929

MATURE JENNY: Light will often pierce
the darkness when we least expect it.
930
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,759
And if we are fortunate,
when we need it most.
931
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:24,632
Science can pave the way
but we need human hands to guide us
932
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,838
and love to illuminate the path
that lies ahead.
933
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,638
Hey!
934
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,350
TRIXIE: The one thing
that makes me feel better
935
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,318
is a glass of Scotch.
936
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:56,951
I'm aware there are better times
for me to be going off
937
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,917
to do a fortnight's course
at The London.
938
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:00,911
Have you managed to prepare
any food for Neil?
939
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:02,513
MAUREEN: I can't face boiling m...
BARBARA: Milk?
940

(VOMITS)
941
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,910
Oh, this is more than morning sickness,
Mrs Turner.
942
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,350
EVANGELINA: The boiler has died
from inattention.
943
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,635
I may yet suffer the same fate.
944
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:14,918
PATSY: Oh, Delia, you don't want
to end up
945
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,470
in some filthy hole living cheek-by-jowl
with a lot of students.
946
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,520
FRED: Did you get the letter?
About my lady friend?
947
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,798
Yes, Dad, I did.
