{\an8}(mellow music playing)

4
00:01:05,232 --> 00:01:07,359
{\an8}(man)  I have always loved the old.

5
00:01:09,028 --> 00:01:12,198
{\an8}  I have loved them for almost
as long as I have been alive.

6
00:01:13,407 --> 00:01:16,202
{\an8}  Since I was first aware
of their hands around mine.

7
00:01:24,126 --> 00:01:25,169
{\an8}  I love them still.

8
00:01:26,337 --> 00:01:28,798
{\an8}  It is my work, it is my joy.

9
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,883
{\an8}  It is my purpose.

10
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:37,056
{\an8}(phone ringing)

11
00:01:38,974 --> 00:01:39,975
{\an8}  Vali.

12
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,353
{\an8}-(speaking Punjabi)
-Vali.

13
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:45,689
{\an8}  But we are all here.
And Nani loves the scarf.

14
00:01:45,815 --> 00:01:46,732
{\an8}  Okay, listen, listen.

15
00:01:46,816 --> 00:01:48,359
{\an8}  Your nieces have a question for you.

16
00:01:48,484 --> 00:01:51,779
{\an8}  Is it true the patients
call you Dr Valentine?

17
00:01:52,071 --> 00:01:53,155
{\an8}  Haan,   they do.

18
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,699
{\an8}  Why, when it's not your name?

19
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:57,451
{\an8}Because nobody knows how to say

20
00:01:57,535 --> 00:01:58,869
{\an8}Valinder Singh Vashisht.

21
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:00,871
{\an8}(all laughing)

22
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:03,499

23
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:05,042
{\an8}(Nani speaking Hindi)

24
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:07,670
{\an8}-(Nani)  Bye!
-(nieces)  Bye!

25
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:09,755
{\an8}(Ruha)  Love you. Miss you.

26
00:02:11,090 --> 00:02:12,091
{\an8}(mobile beeps)

27
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:14,093
{\an8}Good morning, Dr Valentine.

28
00:02:14,260 --> 00:02:16,345
{\an8}Oh, erm, my grandmother loved the scarf.

29
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:19,348
{\an8}Oh! Well, said you couldn't go wrong
with fuchsia, didn't I?

30
00:02:20,266 --> 00:02:22,017
{\an8}You're a bit earlier than usual,
aren't you?

31
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:23,686
{\an8}The television crew are coming.

32
00:02:23,853 --> 00:02:25,688
{\an8}About the campaign to save the hospital.

33
00:02:26,063 --> 00:02:28,399
{\an8}(Gilpin) Oh, well,
glad someone's taking up the cudgels.

34
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:31,402
{\an8}In the meantime, you'd best
head through to Mr Jessop.

35
00:02:32,111 --> 00:02:33,529
(Dr Valentine) Oh, has he
taken a turn for the worse?

36
00:02:33,863 --> 00:02:34,780
Worse.

37
00:02:35,698 --> 00:02:37,700
-No, but he was fine...
-I spoke to the goddaughter.

38
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:40,202
She was of the view
that cremation would be favoured.

39
00:02:41,579 --> 00:02:42,580
(soft music playing)

40
00:02:52,923 --> 00:02:54,091
{\an8}(mobile ringing)

41
00:02:57,595 --> 00:02:58,554
{\an8}Minister.

42
00:02:59,555 --> 00:03:02,141
{\an8}Thanks. He's in the, erm, The Bethlehem.

43
00:03:02,224 --> 00:03:05,144
{\an8}Oh, or The Beth, as they call it up there.

44
00:03:06,729 --> 00:03:09,398
Yeah, well, you know
all these small places

45
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:11,650
are earmarked for closure,
one way or another.

46
00:03:11,942 --> 00:03:14,278
{\an8}It's policy. Your policy. (chuckles)

47
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:15,404
{\an8}I advised you on it.

48
00:03:17,448 --> 00:03:20,409
{\an8}Yeah, well, that, er...
that won't be difficult.

49
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:24,413
Its, er, failings will be legion.

50
00:03:24,997 --> 00:03:27,708
(singing)  Good morning to you.
Good morning

51
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:29,209
(woman sighs) I see Bouncing Betty's

52
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:30,794
-back on shift again.
-(nurse scatting)

53
00:03:35,257 --> 00:03:36,884
Morning, good morning

54
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:38,302
(humming)

55
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:40,095
-Morning.
-Morning.

56
00:03:40,179 --> 00:03:41,513
Good morning to you

57
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:45,643
I hope that girl remembers I have a cup.

58
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:47,478
Not a beaker.

59
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,273
They only give you a beaker in The Royal

60
00:03:51,357 --> 00:03:52,608
if you're terminal.

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,986
You're not in The Royal now,
Lucille, you're in The Beth.

62
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,949
This is chipped.

63
00:04:01,158 --> 00:04:03,827
No wonder the government
are going to close you down.

64
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:08,207
(Dr Valentine) You know the way
we do it, Ambrose.

65
00:04:08,457 --> 00:04:10,876
Dr Jones and I have seen
to the two certificates.

66
00:04:11,293 --> 00:04:13,671
And this will remain in situ
till the undertaker comes.

67
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:17,007
So, fare thee well, Mr Jessop,

68
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:19,301
who died in the night.

69
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,761
As people do.

70
00:04:21,387 --> 00:04:22,638
It's rather rude of him.

71
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:25,182
Doesn't he realise there's a queue?

72
00:04:25,849 --> 00:04:26,850
(chuckling)

73
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:30,229
I've just cleared out Mr Jessop's locker.

74
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:32,106
I thought nippy work were in order,

75
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:33,565
since we're under pressure bed-wise.

76
00:04:33,649 --> 00:04:35,526
Well, we're always
under pressure bed-wise.

77
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:36,986
It's been twice as bad

78
00:04:37,069 --> 00:04:38,862
since they shut down
Barbara Cartland Ward.

79
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:41,240
He didn't really have anyone
to bring him things.

80
00:04:41,657 --> 00:04:42,950
Goddaughter's in Southampton.

81
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:45,411
Infirmary.

82
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,914
I'm delighted to inform you
we've a free bed at The Beth.

83
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:50,708
In the men's bay.

84
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:54,420
No, I'm afraid I can't oblige you
on the women's side.

85
00:04:55,212 --> 00:04:57,214
We have just moved a lady
on to Snowdrop Court,

86
00:04:57,339 --> 00:04:59,425
but her space has gone
to an ankle from The Royal.

87
00:05:01,176 --> 00:05:02,970
Well, maybe they're nicer
to me than you are.

88
00:05:04,972 --> 00:05:06,181
Do you want the men's bed or not?

89
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:08,809
Yes, thought so.

90
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:12,396
There's a pair of glasses.

91
00:05:16,567 --> 00:05:18,819
I'll put them in the box
for the Africa appeal.

92
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:19,987
(phone rings)

93
00:05:24,491 --> 00:05:26,368
What do you mean,
you're calling about helium balloons?

94
00:05:27,536 --> 00:05:30,247
Well, I don't care if they are
for a Sister Gilpin's party.

95
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,999
This is a busy hospital department,

96
00:05:32,082 --> 00:05:33,459
and I am Sister Gilpin!

97
00:05:36,503 --> 00:05:37,796
Helium balloons.

98
00:05:38,714 --> 00:05:39,882
Well, they're in your honour, Alma.

99
00:05:40,591 --> 00:05:41,967
You've won a prize.

100
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:45,471
My service has been acknowledged.

101
00:05:45,596 --> 00:05:47,931
There's no call
for the purchase of party novelties.

102
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:50,184
(amusing music playing)

103
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:52,561
-No, soft toys on the right.
-Like this?

104
00:05:52,770 --> 00:05:54,855
-(woman) That's nice.
-Right.

105
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:58,525
How about this
from a standing start, Dr Valentine?

106
00:05:58,609 --> 00:06:00,402
-Marks out of ten?
-Twenty.

107
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,362
The Friends of The Beth
aren't just volunteers.

108
00:06:02,821 --> 00:06:04,531
We're like the little ships of Dunkirk,

109
00:06:04,656 --> 00:06:06,408
poised to mobilise in her hour of need.

110
00:06:06,492 --> 00:06:08,285
We sent a round robin out
about the tabards.

111
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,412
And the sweatshirts.
People were getting sloppy.

112
00:06:10,496 --> 00:06:12,539
Yeah, well, we can't have that
if we're going on television.

113
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:15,667
(Dr Valentine) Excuse me, gentlemen.

114
00:06:15,793 --> 00:06:17,252
Are you the team from Pennine People?

115
00:06:17,336 --> 00:06:19,546
-Yes.
-Oh. I am Dr Valentine.

116
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:20,881
We have spoken on the telephone.

117
00:06:20,964 --> 00:06:21,799
Hi. I'm Abdul.

118
00:06:22,424 --> 00:06:23,258
How do?

119
00:06:24,051 --> 00:06:25,552
Well, thank you for supporting our cause.

120
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:28,222
The notice of closure
came as something of a shock.

121
00:06:28,388 --> 00:06:31,433
Mm. We're a local programme.
This is a local institution.

122
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:33,685
Founded 1897?

123
00:06:33,811 --> 00:06:36,522
The year Queen Victoria
celebrated her Diamond Jubilee

124
00:06:36,605 --> 00:06:39,233
and coincidentally, aspirin was invented.

125
00:06:40,025 --> 00:06:41,485
Wow, here?

126
00:06:42,069 --> 00:06:43,320
No, in Germany, I believe.

127
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:45,781
Germany won't play on Pennine People.

128
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:48,325
I'm sorry. An ambulance is just arriving.

129
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:51,453
(woman) Right, steady on.

130
00:06:51,954 --> 00:06:53,831
Right, you go and park.
I'll go with Mother.

131
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:58,168
Ambulance. The Royal.

132
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,504
A night on a trolley. Another ambulance.

133
00:07:00,838 --> 00:07:02,381
-(groans)
-All present and correct.

134
00:07:02,965 --> 00:07:04,800
We even had a little singsong
along the ring road.

135
00:07:04,883 --> 00:07:07,219
It's all right, Mother. I'm here now.

136
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:09,721
(sobbing) It was my house!

137
00:07:09,805 --> 00:07:10,639
(woman) Oh, is it any wonder

138
00:07:10,722 --> 00:07:11,932
she don't know which way is up?

139
00:07:12,015 --> 00:07:13,976
All is well, my love. All is well.

140
00:07:14,101 --> 00:07:15,102
We will look after you.

141
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,530
Greetings, Shirley Bassey Ward.

142
00:07:26,613 --> 00:07:28,824
We've got a treat lined up
for all of you today.

143
00:07:29,158 --> 00:07:32,202
Gorgeous Gerald, the physio,
will be paying us a call.

144
00:07:32,327 --> 00:07:33,245
Ooh, that's it.

145
00:07:33,495 --> 00:07:36,081
I'm definitely wearing my shorty nightie.

146
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:38,834
Well, there'll be some singing first
to open up your lungs,

147
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:41,461
and then he'll get to work
with his magic hands.

148
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:45,591
Well, last time, he said
my knee would take priority.

149
00:07:46,216 --> 00:07:48,343
I'm a more interesting case.

150
00:07:48,677 --> 00:07:52,389
He gives me tissue massage
on my lymphomania.

151
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,266
Oh, it's your lymphoedema, Hazel.

152
00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:55,934
And please be advised

153
00:07:56,018 --> 00:07:57,895
he'll be doing my neck first. Come on.

154
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:01,481
You're not a patient, that's incestuous.

155
00:08:02,608 --> 00:08:04,693
Alma, I'm just giving Mary a freshen-up.

156
00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:06,195
She needs everything clean on.

157
00:08:06,278 --> 00:08:07,529
Well, pop it in her notes.

158
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:09,573
(clanging)

159
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:12,075
Do you want the toilet, Molly?

160
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:14,953
Come on, then. Come on, love.

161
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:19,208
(indistinct conversation)

162
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:23,962
I take it you're the, er...
the Pennine People people?

163
00:08:24,421 --> 00:08:26,506
-Morning.
-Yes. Abdul. Kieran.

164
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:27,674
Are you the Chair?

165
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:29,885
-Chairman of the Board.
-Yeah.

166
00:08:29,968 --> 00:08:31,678
Executive or non-executive?

167
00:08:32,137 --> 00:08:35,057
Well, non-executive.
It's an honorary position.

168
00:08:35,307 --> 00:08:37,684
You can't fill a crucial role
like this with a hired hand.

169
00:08:37,768 --> 00:08:39,645
No, the bureaucrats administrate,

170
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:41,355
I champion. Yeah.

171
00:08:41,772 --> 00:08:43,440
No, this isn't just a hospital.

172
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,067
It's The Beth.

173
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:47,110
And The Beth is the people.

174
00:08:47,611 --> 00:08:53,408
{\an8}(woman singing)
Yours till the stars lose their glory

175
00:08:53,492 --> 00:08:54,451
{\an8}(sighs)

176
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:59,706
Yours till the birds fail to sing

177
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:05,712
Yours to the end of life's story

178
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:12,469
This pledge to you, dear, I bring

179
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:17,015
Here or on far distant shores

180
00:09:19,893 --> 00:09:22,437
You have a lovely voice, Mrs Maudsley.

181
00:09:22,688 --> 00:09:25,065
She sang in concert halls
as a little girl.

182
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:26,984
And on the wireless.

183
00:09:27,818 --> 00:09:30,237
They called her the Pudsey Nightingale.

184
00:09:30,946 --> 00:09:32,614
A soprano, unless I'm mistaken.

185
00:09:33,115 --> 00:09:34,449
There is definite recognition

186
00:09:34,616 --> 00:09:36,034
when we go through her scrapbook with her.

187
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:39,788
And her memory for the lyrics
is immaculate.

188
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,624
Oh, people with dementia
can sometimes sing

189
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:43,917
even when they cannot talk.

190
00:09:44,293 --> 00:09:46,461
The more mobile can even dance
when they hear music.

191
00:09:46,837 --> 00:09:47,754
(man) I wouldn't push it.

192
00:09:48,463 --> 00:09:50,674
She bust her ankle
just trying to get off the commode.

193
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,593
This is Mr Hunsley, Dr Valentine.

194
00:09:53,677 --> 00:09:55,554
He's to wait in here
until his bed's ready.

195
00:09:56,638 --> 00:09:57,472
(Dr Valentine) Sir.

196
00:09:57,681 --> 00:10:00,183
Dr Valentine will come
and see you, Mr Hunsley.

197
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:01,643
(Mr Hunsley mumbling)

198
00:10:01,893 --> 00:10:03,312
You're in good hands.

199
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:07,733
Meanwhile, I have a berth
ready and waiting

200
00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:10,068
for a Blanche Alice Maudsley.

201
00:10:10,152 --> 00:10:12,070
Transferred from The Royal A & E.

202
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,573
This is the lady, and this is her family.

203
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:17,743
I believe we have a recruit
for music therapy.

204
00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:19,786
Mrs Maudsley is a soprano.

205
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:21,038
How nice.

206
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:22,956
I'll come and examine her on the ward.

207
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:24,124
Right.

208
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:27,878
Would Mother like to be called
Blanche or Mrs Maudsley

209
00:10:27,961 --> 00:10:28,962
while she's with us?

210
00:10:30,672 --> 00:10:32,341
-Oh, I think Mrs Maudsley.
-Yes.

211
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:34,760
I favour formal terms. Is she continent?

212
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:36,219
It's all relative.

213
00:10:37,012 --> 00:10:38,388
It was my house.

214
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:40,474
-(Mrs Maudsley mumbles)
-(amusing music playing)

215
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:42,351
(Alma) Mm.

216
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:46,104
Hmm?

217
00:10:46,688 --> 00:10:49,691
You know, I thought you might like to film
my interview in here.

218
00:10:50,359 --> 00:10:53,487
The background illustrates
the history of the hospital.

219
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:55,697
Meanwhile, I, as Chairman,

220
00:10:55,781 --> 00:10:57,449
represent its essential essence.

221
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:00,369
There's a picture of you
here in a dress. (chuckles)

222
00:11:00,911 --> 00:11:02,746
No, I'm in costume.

223
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:04,498
As Queen Victoria.

224
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:05,707
It is what one does

225
00:11:05,791 --> 00:11:08,085
-when a hospital has to be supported.
-(scoffs)

226
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:10,796
Look, er, I happened to be Mayor as well

227
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,506
-when that was taken.
-(Abdul) Hmm.

228
00:11:12,798 --> 00:11:14,091
-You're a busy man.
-Yeah, well...

229
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:18,428
I've been Mayor twice.
It's a woman currently.

230
00:11:19,054 --> 00:11:20,514
First time for everything, eh?

231
00:11:21,515 --> 00:11:26,561
Meanwhile, we at The Beth
are fighting for our right to care

232
00:11:26,645 --> 00:11:28,480
from the cradle to the grave.

233
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:30,190
Are we ready to...

234
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,650
(Dr Valentine) Gentlemen.

235
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:33,610
I am sorry to have been delayed.

236
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:36,571
We've made very satisfactory
strides in your absence.

237
00:11:37,114 --> 00:11:39,282
I think we can trust the team
to represent us well.

238
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,077
My hope is that
we can represent the people well.

239
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:44,871
-We've been through all that.
-The old people. The patients.

240
00:11:45,372 --> 00:11:47,040
This is their refuge and their right.

241
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:49,251
Without The Beth,

242
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,795
I don't like to think
where they will have to go.

243
00:11:53,338 --> 00:11:54,256
Oh.

244
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:57,968
(Gilpin) I don't know why your school
have even sent you here.

245
00:11:58,427 --> 00:12:00,971
We don't offer work experience in nursing.

246
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:02,806
I shall have to attach you to the porters.

247
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:05,976
I asked Careers for Computing,
but I applied too late.

248
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,270
I've brought him some theatre pants

249
00:12:08,395 --> 00:12:10,772
and an occupational therapist top half.

250
00:12:11,022 --> 00:12:12,732
-Right.
-It's all I could find in a medium.

251
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:16,236
What's this?

252
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:18,738
Well, we endeavour to rise
above leisurewear, Andy.

253
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:20,991
Helps the old folks keep their bearings.

254
00:12:22,868 --> 00:12:24,578
I hope those trainers are wipe clean.

255
00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:26,204
They'll be getting urine on them.

256
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:28,498
Come on.

257
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:33,044
(suspenseful music playing)

258
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:47,350
(door closes)

259
00:12:47,851 --> 00:12:48,977
Take me to The Beth.

260
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:52,522
(driver) I can tell you're local.

261
00:12:53,523 --> 00:12:55,775
Some people coming from down south
like to have the window open.

262
00:12:56,109 --> 00:12:57,569
They reckon they can smell the moors.

263
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,363
All I can smell is the past.

264
00:13:01,323 --> 00:13:04,826
(patients singing)  You made me love you

265
00:13:05,243 --> 00:13:09,122
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

266
00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:15,629
You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad

267
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:16,963
(Gerald) Lovely!

268
00:13:17,547 --> 00:13:21,009
But there were times when

269
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:23,887
You made me feel so bad

270
00:13:24,054 --> 00:13:26,890
(Gerald) Now remember
who we're going to be singing this for.

271
00:13:27,224 --> 00:13:31,895
Lovely, lovely Sister Gilpin
at her medal presentation.

272
00:13:32,020 --> 00:13:33,188
Yes, we are.

273
00:13:33,939 --> 00:13:37,692
I want some love that's true

274
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:40,904
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

275
00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:45,492
Gimme, gimme, gimme,
gimme what I cry for

276
00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:47,035
-You know you've got
-Lovely big breath in

277
00:13:47,118 --> 00:13:48,453
-for that massive finish!
-The brand of kisses

278
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:49,871
That I'd die for

279
00:13:49,955 --> 00:13:50,914
Thanks.

280
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:55,126
-Save The Beth. Save The Beth.
-Yeah.

281
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:58,713
Fiver a strip to win a week in Cleethorpes

282
00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:01,049
or guess the name of the teddy
for a pound.

283
00:14:01,132 --> 00:14:03,134
Or you can sponsor me to do a skydive.

284
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:06,429
Pledge now, pay later. Every little helps.

285
00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:08,848
We're not unaware
we're David against Goliath.

286
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:12,978
But, really, after nigh
on 122 years' service,

287
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:15,230
they can't expect us
to go down without a fight.

288
00:14:15,313 --> 00:14:16,856
I'm looking for Dusty Springfield.

289
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:17,983
(man) In person?

290
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:19,818
(laughs)

291
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:21,319
Dusty Springfield Ward.

292
00:14:21,903 --> 00:14:24,072
Straight down, first right, second left.

293
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:25,448
Thanks.

294
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:31,162
Neville, are you going to
join in the filming?

295
00:14:31,413 --> 00:14:33,415
Not if I'm the only bloody bloke.

296
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:36,918
Well, I'm a bloke. And so is Ambrose.

297
00:14:37,085 --> 00:14:38,253
Ambrose don't count.

298
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:40,171
He always got his headphones on.

299
00:14:40,672 --> 00:14:42,799
Where the other one? Glasses.

300
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:45,302
-Oh, you mean Mr Jessop?
-(Neville) Mm.

301
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,137
-He's gone.
-Gone where?

302
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:48,888
Rattled his clack.

303
00:14:49,598 --> 00:14:50,599
In the night.

304
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:52,934
He was very obese.

305
00:14:53,101 --> 00:14:55,437
Well, he shall be missed in the choir.

306
00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:56,813
He was a bass.

307
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:58,857
Yeah, well, maybe he was a bass
because he was obese.

308
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:01,443
And it's not a choir, it's music therapy.

309
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,323
You can't start filming yet.

310
00:15:07,490 --> 00:15:10,577
I'm still busy whitening the sepulchre.

311
00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:11,870
Er, no, no, don't worry.

312
00:15:11,953 --> 00:15:13,997
We're doing a group interview first,

313
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,832
just so I can get to know everybody.

314
00:15:16,207 --> 00:15:18,209
Then we're hoping to talk
to you one at a time

315
00:15:18,293 --> 00:15:20,837
and ask some quick-fire questions.

316
00:15:20,962 --> 00:15:21,921
(music playing on headphones)

317
00:15:22,005 --> 00:15:23,214
I can't hear you.

318
00:15:23,632 --> 00:15:26,426
(chuckles) You've still got
your headphones on.

319
00:15:28,345 --> 00:15:29,429
What's the matter, Molly?

320
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:31,139
Do you need toilet?

321
00:15:32,515 --> 00:15:34,643
All right. But they're trying
to make a film.

322
00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:36,353
Will you let me mind your tray for you?

323
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:37,771
-Love, don't bang it...
-What's all this?

324
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:40,940
She never wallops that tray
for no reason, you know.

325
00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:43,985
You all right, Molly?
You come with me, love.

326
00:15:44,235 --> 00:15:46,237
We'll work our way through the checklist.

327
00:15:46,863 --> 00:15:47,697
Come on.

328
00:15:50,283 --> 00:15:51,618
No, you can have it back when you've been.

329
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:53,286
I know it's important to you, Molly.

330
00:15:53,912 --> 00:15:55,497
If you're the new registrar,

331
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:57,832
we have a policy
of nothing below the wrist.

332
00:15:58,625 --> 00:16:00,126
Your watch. You'll have to take it off.

333
00:16:00,502 --> 00:16:01,920
I'm a visitor. Not a doctor.

334
00:16:02,003 --> 00:16:04,047
Oh, yes, of course, the T-shirt.

335
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:05,799
Still, it's a fine line these days.

336
00:16:06,091 --> 00:16:09,010
If this is Dusty Springfield,
I'm looking for Joe Colman.

337
00:16:09,886 --> 00:16:11,346
Might I ask if you're a relative?

338
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:12,597
Mm-hm. His son.

339
00:16:13,556 --> 00:16:15,558
The son that works
for the Health Minister?

340
00:16:17,143 --> 00:16:20,021
No. Just the one
who works in his department.

341
00:16:20,689 --> 00:16:22,440
I'm an independent management consultant.

342
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,068
Hmm. Nevertheless,
he's told us all about you.

343
00:16:25,819 --> 00:16:28,405
Your chauffeur-driven car,
your bank holiday at Chequers.

344
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:29,572
That was purely social.

345
00:16:29,781 --> 00:16:30,615
(Gilpin chuckles)

346
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:33,034
Right, well, I shall escort you
to the office.

347
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,287
I'll come back and take Molly
to the lavatory. Stay here.

348
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:37,664
Right, come on.

349
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:41,459
(Dr Valentine) Mrs Maudsley?

350
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:43,294
Blanche?

351
00:16:43,753 --> 00:16:45,630
I need to examine your eyes, Blanche.

352
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:47,257
Just to rule out any anaemia.

353
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:50,051
It was my house.

354
00:16:51,386 --> 00:16:52,512
They took it from me.

355
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:55,348
How is her appetite?

356
00:16:56,349 --> 00:16:57,600
She eats like a navvy.

357
00:16:57,851 --> 00:17:00,353
I have her on a full low-fat diet

358
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,522
ever since she was diagnosed
with gallstones.

359
00:17:02,605 --> 00:17:03,440
(Mrs Maudsley) Mine.

360
00:17:04,315 --> 00:17:06,276
They're no better than thieves!

361
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:08,486
Is she usually confused?

362
00:17:09,154 --> 00:17:10,780
No. I mean, catch her on a good day,

363
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:12,240
she's... she's bright as a button.

364
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:16,453
She might benefit
from some of the activities

365
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:17,579
we have in the day room.

366
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:19,247
Singing, for example.

367
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:21,166
(scoffs) I'm sorry.

368
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:25,670
Is this a hospital,
or is it Butlin's bandstand?

369
00:17:26,129 --> 00:17:28,006
She doesn't want entertaining.

370
00:17:28,256 --> 00:17:29,257
I'm telling you now,

371
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,342
you do not want her entertaining you.

372
00:17:32,177 --> 00:17:33,303
Pudsey Nightingale.

373
00:17:33,386 --> 00:17:34,387
Mitchell!

374
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:38,892
Do you know?
You've a lovely manner with her.

375
00:17:39,601 --> 00:17:40,602
I like old people.

376
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:44,063
Rubbish. Even old people
don't like old people.

377
00:17:44,189 --> 00:17:46,024
So, what's the survival rate?

378
00:17:48,276 --> 00:17:49,319
Survival rate?

379
00:17:50,653 --> 00:17:51,780
Your mother is 92.

380
00:17:52,697 --> 00:17:54,824
Well, yes, I know,
but we wouldn't want to lose her.

381
00:17:55,366 --> 00:17:56,910
Erm... Er...

382
00:17:57,911 --> 00:17:58,828
Yet.

383
00:17:59,162 --> 00:18:00,079
(Mitchell) Look,

384
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,956
she's ill.

385
00:18:02,499 --> 00:18:03,541
You're a hospital.

386
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:05,084
Cure her!

387
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:08,880
I'm afraid there's no cure,
as such, for old age, sir.

388
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:11,132
We can't offer long-term care.

389
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,260
It's a bloody good job she's so far gone.

390
00:18:15,386 --> 00:18:16,971
She'd want to know
what she paid her stamp for

391
00:18:17,055 --> 00:18:18,139
for all those years.

392
00:18:19,307 --> 00:18:20,809
-Are you rolling?
-Rolling.

393
00:18:21,017 --> 00:18:22,727
(soft music playing)

394
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:27,357
Sir, can I ask you your name,
and what you did in life?

395
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:31,194
My name is Ambrose Hammersley.

396
00:18:31,694 --> 00:18:35,406
In life, as you put it,
I was a schoolmaster.

397
00:18:36,074 --> 00:18:40,370
Now I'm in a wheelchair
due to osteo-arthritis

398
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:44,332
and the regulation issue fall.

399
00:18:44,541 --> 00:18:47,085
I've got osteo-arthritis too.

400
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:51,130
Yes, I... I push his chair sometimes.

401
00:18:51,256 --> 00:18:52,632
We've a lot in common.

402
00:18:52,841 --> 00:18:55,510
Take no notice of this lady.
She's confused.

403
00:18:56,010 --> 00:18:58,137
-We're engaged.
-Oh, bugger off.

404
00:18:58,263 --> 00:18:59,597
Oh, language!

405
00:18:59,681 --> 00:19:01,641
What... Don't you "language" me.

406
00:19:01,891 --> 00:19:03,309
I taught language.

407
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:04,686
Fratch, fratch, fratch.

408
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:08,064
Can't we show a bit more support
to these nice young gentlemen?

409
00:19:08,731 --> 00:19:11,150
Er, Lucille, tell them about your life.

410
00:19:12,235 --> 00:19:13,069
Well,

411
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:15,488
-I was a housewife.
-(groans)

412
00:19:15,780 --> 00:19:17,448
And I brought up a son.

413
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:19,534
Who emigrated to Australia.

414
00:19:20,118 --> 00:19:21,411
That's an achievement in itself.

415
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:26,499
Also, my father had a chain
of confectioners shops.

416
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:30,003
Oh! Did he do vanilla slices?

417
00:19:30,253 --> 00:19:32,505
(chuckles) I don't recall.

418
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,757
Oh, can't be much of a confectioner

419
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:37,343
if he didn't do vanilla slices.

420
00:19:38,553 --> 00:19:41,222
I had a wild side.

421
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,767
But nobody has ever
interviewed me about it.

422
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:46,603
I think you should talk to Neville next.

423
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:49,939
(Abdul) Tell us about yourself, Neville.

424
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:53,443
Even just tell us why you're in The Beth.

425
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:55,695
Because I old.

426
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,071
(woman) Well, we're all old.

427
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,282
What's the matter with you besides?

428
00:19:59,574 --> 00:20:00,909
Did you have a fall?

429
00:20:01,075 --> 00:20:03,912
Not everybody falls, Mavis.

430
00:20:04,829 --> 00:20:07,290
I'm here because of my dizzy dos.

431
00:20:07,999 --> 00:20:10,251
By rights, I ought
to be a private patient.

432
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:12,545
Oh. What does that matter?

433
00:20:13,296 --> 00:20:16,633
Dead, we're all on a slab
in our birthday suits.

434
00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,010
I used to work in a factory.

435
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:21,971
I had 10 men under me.

436
00:20:22,597 --> 00:20:24,223
So did I on a good day.

437
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:26,142
(laughing)

438
00:20:27,143 --> 00:20:29,020
(coughing)

439
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:33,608
(panting)

440
00:20:34,525 --> 00:20:35,443
Am I still here?

441
00:20:35,777 --> 00:20:37,320
We haven't sent you back to The Rowans,

442
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:38,488
if that's what you mean.

443
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:40,990
(Joe) The Rowans is a shithole.

444
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:42,784
Your son's come.

445
00:20:43,952 --> 00:20:44,869
Hello, Dad.

446
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,246
I'm not your dad.

447
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:49,248
You my son?

448
00:20:50,041 --> 00:20:51,918
My son wears a suit.

449
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:53,002
He doesn't recognise me.

450
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:55,797
Well, they can be like that
when they've got an infection.

451
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:59,050
There again,
perhaps he hasn't seen you in a while.

452
00:21:01,427 --> 00:21:02,512
You're nice and dry.

453
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:04,305
I'm always nice and dry.

454
00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:06,474
It's my party piece.

455
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:10,269
Well, you're not that far gone, then.

456
00:21:12,188 --> 00:21:14,607
I tell people you're... (clears throat)

457
00:21:14,899 --> 00:21:16,192
you're chauffeur driven.

458
00:21:16,317 --> 00:21:17,777
(coughing)

459
00:21:21,656 --> 00:21:23,825
(sighs) Jesus, Dad.

460
00:21:24,742 --> 00:21:27,161
Your chest sounds like wet gravel.

461
00:21:28,371 --> 00:21:30,289
What would you know about wet gravel?

462
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:32,625
You never went down the pit.

463
00:21:33,543 --> 00:21:34,377
No,

464
00:21:35,378 --> 00:21:36,754
Mam didn't want me to.

465
00:21:38,339 --> 00:21:41,050
I didn't want you coming here in a pink

466
00:21:42,802 --> 00:21:46,931
singlet, looking like a Nancy.
But you did.

467
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:51,519
(Mavis) It's not that
I was a naughty girl.

468
00:21:52,437 --> 00:21:54,397
You do understand, I'm sure.

469
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:56,649
Those amongst you who have lived.

470
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,445
Anyway, erm...

471
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,156
-Mary.
-Oh, shh, shh.

472
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:05,867
What's the matter?

473
00:22:06,367 --> 00:22:07,535
Haven't they asked you to join in?

474
00:22:08,411 --> 00:22:09,537
I don't want to join in.

475
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:12,498
I don't have a lot to say.

476
00:22:12,749 --> 00:22:14,375
Comes from working in a library.

477
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:17,712
You know, I have a passion for books, too.

478
00:22:17,837 --> 00:22:20,089
Oh, I didn't have a passion
for books. (chuckles)

479
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,592
I just worked with them,
I kept them in order.

480
00:22:23,634 --> 00:22:25,053
With books, that's all that's required.

481
00:22:25,136 --> 00:22:26,345
They're not like people.

482
00:22:26,554 --> 00:22:28,097
(Mavis continues talking)

483
00:22:28,806 --> 00:22:30,975
I can still go in and introduce you.

484
00:22:31,434 --> 00:22:32,268
The men from the television

485
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,936
would like to hear about your past career.

486
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,397
No, if you push yourself forward,
you get seen.

487
00:22:36,731 --> 00:22:38,691
(chuckles) I thought,
as you were standing by the door...

488
00:22:39,192 --> 00:22:40,443
I'm not standing by the door.

489
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:43,446
I've seen people standing by the door.

490
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,574
They're either trying to escape,
or they're waiting for their mothers.

491
00:22:47,658 --> 00:22:49,952
Oh, I never stand by a door.
I make a point of it.

492
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:54,248
(Mavis) Anyway, I went on
to marry three times,

493
00:22:54,332 --> 00:22:57,210
although I didn't enjoy
any of those marriages,

494
00:22:57,335 --> 00:22:58,294
not really.

495
00:23:05,301 --> 00:23:06,385
Have you brought me owt?

496
00:23:08,805 --> 00:23:09,639
No.

497
00:23:10,181 --> 00:23:11,265
Not even a grape?

498
00:23:11,349 --> 00:23:12,683
I couldn't think of what you'd want.

499
00:23:15,728 --> 00:23:16,771
A clean vest.

500
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:19,273
When I was in once before,

501
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,900
that's what your mam used to bring.

502
00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:23,111
And grapes.

503
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:25,613
She was a good 'un.

504
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,033
Yeah, she was.

505
00:23:30,493 --> 00:23:32,453
Until she put me in The Rowans.

506
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:35,456
No, Dad. I put you in The Rowans.

507
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:37,667
It's nowt to boast about.

508
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:39,043
Well, you're forgetting, Dad.

509
00:23:39,127 --> 00:23:41,254
After Mam died,
you couldn't look after yourself.

510
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:42,630
Or else you wouldn't.

511
00:23:43,673 --> 00:23:45,842
You didn't wash. You didn't eat.

512
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:48,010
Used to wander the streets.

513
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:50,596
I had the Miners' Benevolent
calling me up in London.

514
00:23:51,305 --> 00:23:52,849
I used to wander the streets?

515
00:23:55,309 --> 00:23:57,979
You were the one
who used to wander the sodding streets.

516
00:23:58,187 --> 00:23:59,689
Didn't get you put in a home.

517
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:01,649
Should have got you arrested.

518
00:24:03,734 --> 00:24:05,111
It's what killed your mam.

519
00:24:11,909 --> 00:24:13,119
(footsteps receding)

520
00:24:16,247 --> 00:24:17,081
Er...

521
00:24:20,168 --> 00:24:21,169
(Gilpin sighs)

522
00:24:24,672 --> 00:24:26,549
Pills and potions to pop down 'em.

523
00:24:26,883 --> 00:24:28,467
-Mm-hm.
-Then I'm off.

524
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:31,387
I don't know how you do it, Alma.

525
00:24:32,096 --> 00:24:33,055
Chopping and changing

526
00:24:33,181 --> 00:24:34,640
your earlies with your night shifts.

527
00:24:35,224 --> 00:24:37,602
I can't leave the cat
for a 12-hour stretch.

528
00:24:38,144 --> 00:24:39,979
I like being here both ends of the day.

529
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:42,315
They're our most important times.

530
00:24:42,857 --> 00:24:44,609
You didn't write up that Mary Moss

531
00:24:44,692 --> 00:24:46,319
had an episode of incontinence.

532
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:47,445
I asked you to.

533
00:24:48,237 --> 00:24:49,071
I'm sorry.

534
00:24:49,614 --> 00:24:51,199
I were hoping it were a one-off.

535
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:52,867
It was certainly her first offence.

536
00:24:53,242 --> 00:24:54,744
Urine or faeces?

537
00:24:55,745 --> 00:24:56,621
Urine.

538
00:24:57,246 --> 00:24:58,414
With a little bit of faeces.

539
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,918
Hmm. Well, I need to be
fully aware of these things.

540
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:03,211
I run a clean ward.

541
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:05,338
And a clean ward starts with a dry one.

542
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,507
I'm sorry. She cried.

543
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:11,594
When they're like that,
they're just like babies.

544
00:25:11,969 --> 00:25:13,930
Babies don't cry
when they mess themselves.

545
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:15,139
Babies don't care.

546
00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:17,975
When old people don't care, do you cry?

547
00:25:19,185 --> 00:25:20,102
No.

548
00:25:21,896 --> 00:25:23,940
(Dr Valentine)  I think of them
running home from school.

549
00:25:25,399 --> 00:25:27,902
I think of them smiling
for their wedding photographs.

550
00:25:30,363 --> 00:25:32,114
From the cradle to the grave...

551
00:25:32,198 --> 00:25:33,074
(groaning)

552
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,451
...we have been the net
that holds them all.

553
00:25:36,661 --> 00:25:39,997
The playground falls,
the industrial injuries,

554
00:25:41,165 --> 00:25:43,501
their traffic accidents,
and their cancers.

555
00:25:44,627 --> 00:25:46,796
Even now, we fight the tide
on their behalf.

556
00:25:54,679 --> 00:25:57,890
They open their mouths
like birds, or children.

557
00:25:59,016 --> 00:26:00,935
They ask no questions about the dose.

558
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:03,604
They do not query the side effects.

559
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:06,899
We have promised them sleep,

560
00:26:07,233 --> 00:26:09,402
or peace of mind, or ease from pain.

561
00:26:10,611 --> 00:26:12,905
All the things they once
enjoyed without a thought,

562
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:14,740
simply because they were not old.

563
00:26:16,367 --> 00:26:17,410
-And they believe us.
-  (groaning)

564
00:26:19,036 --> 00:26:20,121
That is our blessing.

565
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:22,790
And if we should fail them,

566
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,085
-it becomes their curse.
-(strained breathing)

567
00:26:28,462 --> 00:26:30,548
(Mrs Maudsley crying)  It was my house.

568
00:26:32,425 --> 00:26:35,219
(Mavis) She was
in show business, apparently.

569
00:26:36,220 --> 00:26:38,389
You'd think she'd be more refined.

570
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:45,730
Do you know? I sometimes think
this is my favourite time of the day.

571
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:48,816
With you all tucked up and tidy,

572
00:26:49,483 --> 00:26:50,860
lathered in talcum.

573
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,528
When everyone's asleep,

574
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:54,739
you can hear the wind
on the moors from here.

575
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,992
Did we have mince today?

576
00:26:58,326 --> 00:26:59,452
Turkey mince, aye.

577
00:27:00,411 --> 00:27:01,704
(Hazel) Keeps rifting up.

578
00:27:02,913 --> 00:27:04,123
Feel a bit wanny.

579
00:27:04,290 --> 00:27:05,958
I'll fetch you some
peppermint water and a bowl.

580
00:27:06,459 --> 00:27:07,460
I'll be back, Molly.

581
00:27:09,045 --> 00:27:10,379
(soft music playing)

582
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:15,718
(man on speaker)
Hello, stranger.

583
00:27:15,926 --> 00:27:17,887
(sighs) It's only been a day, George.

584
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:19,972
(George)  Hotel okay?

585
00:27:20,056 --> 00:27:21,891
Er, yeah, it's nice.

586
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:23,476
They've put me in the wedding suite,

587
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:26,103
which is, er, novel.

588
00:27:26,187 --> 00:27:27,605
(chuckles)  How's your dad?

589
00:27:28,272 --> 00:27:30,232
Er, I've no idea how he is.

590
00:27:30,775 --> 00:27:32,568
Half dead, but keeps forgetting.

591
00:27:33,694 --> 00:27:35,780
I don't know what's good or bad
once they get to this age.

592
00:27:36,197 --> 00:27:37,990
Or how much he's putting it on.

593
00:27:39,075 --> 00:27:40,868
-And how's the hospital?
-Oh...

594
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:42,703
It's like him.

595
00:27:42,787 --> 00:27:44,330
Half dead, but keeps forgetting.

596
00:27:45,623 --> 00:27:47,917
You will give your dad my love, won't you?

597
00:27:49,502 --> 00:27:50,544
Yeah, of course.

598
00:27:52,254 --> 00:27:53,881
He never knew what the hell
to do with mine.

599
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:55,966
(soft music continues)

600
00:28:03,099 --> 00:28:04,558
(indistinct chattering)

601
00:28:06,977 --> 00:28:08,187
(Kieran) Excuse me, mate.
Are those grapes?

602
00:28:09,438 --> 00:28:11,023
-Yes.
-Get them in shot, the grapes.

603
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,609
Hi, mate. Do you mind coming in again

604
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:15,152
and holding the grapes a bit higher?

605
00:28:16,862 --> 00:28:18,948
It's just we need
a shot of visitors coming in,

606
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:20,658
and the grapes look really good.

607
00:28:20,783 --> 00:28:22,743
What do you need a shot
of visitors arriving for?

608
00:28:23,452 --> 00:28:25,329
I'm sorry. Abdul, Pennine People.

609
00:28:25,413 --> 00:28:26,747
We're making a short documentary...

610
00:28:26,831 --> 00:28:28,207
-Mr Colman?
-Yeah.

611
00:28:29,125 --> 00:28:30,543
Apologies for my tardiness

612
00:28:30,668 --> 00:28:32,503
in offering you a personal welcome.

613
00:28:33,295 --> 00:28:36,215
I've arranged for coffee
to be served in the boardroom.

614
00:28:37,049 --> 00:28:40,302
So, a news and documentary
segment for Pennine People

615
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:42,012
on the Save The Beth campaign.

616
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:44,181
Well, I'll have to inform the Minister.

617
00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:46,183
Well, we are out to raise awareness.

618
00:28:46,642 --> 00:28:48,060
And they're lapping it up locally.

619
00:28:48,811 --> 00:28:50,521
This hospital isn't funded locally.

620
00:28:51,689 --> 00:28:53,357
Well, we are in control of our own money.

621
00:28:54,108 --> 00:28:55,484
Where do you get that money from?

622
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:59,655
Spiritually? Aneurin Bevan, circa 1947.

623
00:28:59,947 --> 00:29:02,867
And fiscally, Whitehall, circa now.

624
00:29:03,159 --> 00:29:04,243
Until we say stop.

625
00:29:04,368 --> 00:29:06,203
No, people aren't gonna let you say stop.

626
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:09,123
You've been dismembering
this hospital for years,

627
00:29:09,415 --> 00:29:11,375
limb by separately amputated limb.

628
00:29:11,584 --> 00:29:13,961
They have to go to Doncaster
for cataracts now.

629
00:29:14,336 --> 00:29:17,798
And Pontefract for audiology.
And that's a complicated bus.

630
00:29:18,048 --> 00:29:21,343
People voted this government in.

631
00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:24,597
They can skydive out of
as many planes as they like.

632
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,099
They chose this. They chose efficiency.

633
00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:29,935
They chose centres of excellence.

634
00:29:30,019 --> 00:29:31,645
The Beth delivers neither.

635
00:29:31,729 --> 00:29:34,940
We could be a centre
of excellence for geriatrics.

636
00:29:35,399 --> 00:29:36,692
But you're trying to shut us down.

637
00:29:36,817 --> 00:29:39,361
Effective management is target focused,
outcome driven.

638
00:29:39,445 --> 00:29:41,030
You set a goal, and you go for it.

639
00:29:41,113 --> 00:29:43,491
Geriatrics is a waiting game.

640
00:29:43,616 --> 00:29:46,869
It's ungovernable, open-ended,
resource-intensive.

641
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:50,623
-It makes zero economic sense.
-(scoffs)

642
00:29:50,831 --> 00:29:51,707
I disagree.

643
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:54,585
The future is old age.

644
00:29:55,336 --> 00:29:56,170
Everybody knows that.

645
00:29:56,253 --> 00:29:58,631
The people running raffles
in the foyer know that.

646
00:29:59,590 --> 00:30:00,716
They want The Beth.

647
00:30:01,258 --> 00:30:04,678
They want small-scale, local, caring care.

648
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:07,223
They want something that's over.

649
00:30:08,349 --> 00:30:09,266
Gone.

650
00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:11,185
Because it didn't work.

651
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:14,063
And if they keep dragging us backwards,

652
00:30:14,563 --> 00:30:17,191
there will be no progress.

653
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:20,903
{\an8}(Abdul)  What do you think
is the most important thing in The Beth?

654
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:23,489
{\an8}-(pleasant music playing)
-The patients

655
00:30:25,074 --> 00:30:26,033
{\an8}  and the coffee machine.

656
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,326
{\an8}(laughing)

657
00:30:28,244 --> 00:30:30,371
{\an8}  Yeah, definitely the coffee machine.

658
00:30:32,206 --> 00:30:33,499
{\an8}  Non-slip flooring.

659
00:30:33,874 --> 00:30:36,252
{\an8}  As a physio, I just don't really think
you can put a price on that,

660
00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:38,879
{\an8}  if I'm completely honest.

661
00:30:39,421 --> 00:30:42,007
{\an8}  Oh, well, the most important thing isn't,

662
00:30:42,299 --> 00:30:44,802
{\an8}  er, isn't really a thing, is it? It's a...

663
00:30:45,261 --> 00:30:47,304
{\an8}  It's a spirit. An essence. It's, er...

664
00:30:47,596 --> 00:30:49,974
{\an8}(Abdul)  Maybe if you try
to say that in just one word.

665
00:30:52,226 --> 00:30:53,060
{\an8}  Erm...

666
00:30:54,228 --> 00:30:55,104
{\an8}  Pluck.

667
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:56,855
{\an8}  The grub.

668
00:30:57,648 --> 00:31:00,192
{\an8}  A lovely big bath, with handles.

669
00:31:00,943 --> 00:31:02,069
{\an8}  The volunteers.

670
00:31:02,820 --> 00:31:04,863
{\an8}  -Are we allowed to say that?
-  (laughs)

671
00:31:05,906 --> 00:31:06,865
{\an8}  In one word?

672
00:31:08,242 --> 00:31:09,159
{\an8}  The exit.

673
00:31:10,244 --> 00:31:12,871
{\an8}  Although, if we're being punctilious,
that's two.

674
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:16,041
{\an8}  -I like him.
-(sighs)

675
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:18,460
{\an8}  The smell.

676
00:31:19,670 --> 00:31:21,964
{\an8}  Or, to be more precise, the lack of one.

677
00:31:23,090 --> 00:31:23,966
(machine beeping steadily)

678
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:30,472
(Mary) Dr Valentine.

679
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:32,725
Yes, Mary?

680
00:31:34,476 --> 00:31:36,854
I wasn't entirely transparent

681
00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:41,734
when we had our discourse about passion.

682
00:31:44,278 --> 00:31:46,780
There was something
about books that excited me.

683
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:49,199
Marginalia.

684
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:51,910
Marginalia?

685
00:31:53,746 --> 00:31:57,041
The things that readers write
at the edges of the page.

686
00:31:57,207 --> 00:32:00,711
They make little notes
about things that strike them.

687
00:32:00,794 --> 00:32:03,130
Words that have meaning, or weight.

688
00:32:04,465 --> 00:32:08,719
Sometimes a cross is deemed
sufficient to mark the spot,

689
00:32:08,802 --> 00:32:09,887
but not always.

690
00:32:11,930 --> 00:32:14,391
I was supposed to rub them out
if they were in pencil.

691
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:18,604
But sometimes, I left them.

692
00:32:20,898 --> 00:32:22,149
They might be there still.

693
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:26,028
That is rather a nice thought.

694
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:30,032
Hmm. Might be a wicked one,
for all you know.

695
00:32:33,035 --> 00:32:33,869
(chuckles)

696
00:32:34,119 --> 00:32:35,496
(Dr Valentine)  There are too many Marys.

697
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:39,792
Pushed to the margins,
not part of the story,

698
00:32:39,875 --> 00:32:42,503
doomed to be rubbed out,
to leave no trace.

699
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:43,754
(typing)

700
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:45,881
I want them to matter.

701
00:32:46,757 --> 00:32:48,842
I want them to get the best from us.

702
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:51,595
For us to deliver what we promise.

703
00:32:52,721 --> 00:32:53,722
What they need.

704
00:32:55,391 --> 00:32:56,392
And every day,

705
00:32:57,434 --> 00:32:58,852
I fear that we are failing.

706
00:33:01,021 --> 00:33:04,441
I don't think Sister Gilpin
is gonna like this at all.

707
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:07,444
The bonbons are bordering
on the froufrou.

708
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:11,073
And she's got extremely hard hands.

709
00:33:11,323 --> 00:33:13,283
Well, I think
she's going to love everything.

710
00:33:13,784 --> 00:33:16,286
The banners, the balloons,
the cake, and the singing.

711
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,288
The Beth has been her life.

712
00:33:18,372 --> 00:33:21,875
She's done nothing whatsoever
to deserve the singing.

713
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,088
Well, I don't sing for her anyway.

714
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:27,673
I sing for you.

715
00:33:27,756 --> 00:33:31,009
And I've done absolutely
nothing to deserve it either.

716
00:33:31,093 --> 00:33:35,013
Well, you wouldn't say that
if I was Dorothy Squires.

717
00:33:35,097 --> 00:33:38,267
I'd say that if you were
Kiri Te fucking Kanawa!

718
00:33:38,475 --> 00:33:39,560
That's terrible!

719
00:33:39,768 --> 00:33:42,187
Well, it's a tmesis.

720
00:33:42,271 --> 00:33:44,314
Sounds all right in his accent.

721
00:33:44,940 --> 00:33:47,192
What is a tmesis, Ambrose?

722
00:33:47,276 --> 00:33:50,028
Er, it's a grammatical construction.

723
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:53,532
"Abso-fucking-lutely"
would be another example.

724
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:55,284
You're not to put that on your film.

725
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:57,661
Come and do a close-up of the handicrafts.

726
00:33:57,995 --> 00:33:59,997
-Ambrose, would, erm...
-Hmm.

727
00:34:00,831 --> 00:34:04,501
..."fish 'n' chips" and "rock 'n' roll"

728
00:34:04,918 --> 00:34:07,004
also be examples of this grammar?

729
00:34:07,087 --> 00:34:10,466
No, they would be examples of an enclitic.

730
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:12,718
-A shortened version of "and".
-Mm-hm.

731
00:34:14,011 --> 00:34:15,929
And the other is tmesis?

732
00:34:16,180 --> 00:34:17,014
Tmesis, yes.

733
00:34:17,097 --> 00:34:19,141
Are you studying for an examination?

734
00:34:20,684 --> 00:34:21,852
It's, er, an interview.

735
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:24,688
I have applied for UK nationality.

736
00:34:25,481 --> 00:34:27,941
-And English is like medicine.
-Ah.

737
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:29,443
There is always something new to learn.

738
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:30,694
(laughing)

739
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:41,205
(clears throat)

740
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:46,043
I hope they're seedless.

741
00:34:47,336 --> 00:34:49,922
Pips get stuck underneath me plate.

742
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:52,591
Hello, Dad.

743
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:54,510
Did you sleep well?

744
00:34:55,511 --> 00:34:57,971
I kept having to ring
the buzzer for the lav.

745
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,183
But I'm in the Sister's good books,

746
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:03,143
because I sing out. Yeah.

747
00:35:04,061 --> 00:35:06,522
Urination's a religion with her.

748
00:35:06,939 --> 00:35:07,773
Oh.

749
00:35:08,524 --> 00:35:09,525
You do look better.

750
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:12,653
It... It's deceptive.

751
00:35:13,487 --> 00:35:15,155
(coughing)

752
00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:19,785
I'm not better enough
to go back to The Rowans.

753
00:35:27,501 --> 00:35:29,586
Did you stay with your Auntie Violet?

754
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:32,589
No. She's been dead three years.

755
00:35:34,007 --> 00:35:36,426
Well, I... I can't remember everything.

756
00:35:36,510 --> 00:35:37,344
No.

757
00:35:41,932 --> 00:35:43,392
I stayed at a new hotel.

758
00:35:44,518 --> 00:35:45,519
York House.

759
00:35:47,688 --> 00:35:48,522
That...

760
00:35:49,565 --> 00:35:51,483
used to be a bank.

761
00:35:53,610 --> 00:35:54,695
I remember that.

762
00:35:59,992 --> 00:36:01,201
I've just found this

763
00:36:02,077 --> 00:36:03,704
underneath my mother's bedspread.

764
00:36:05,247 --> 00:36:07,875
We have discussed the fact
that your mother is incontinent.

765
00:36:08,417 --> 00:36:09,293
(sighs)

766
00:36:09,877 --> 00:36:11,169
It's Angel Delight.

767
00:36:11,420 --> 00:36:12,838
Butterscotch, by the looks of it.

768
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:14,214
Complete with spoon.

769
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:16,633
Now when my mother
starts squirrelling away food,

770
00:36:16,717 --> 00:36:18,302
it means she's upset.

771
00:36:18,552 --> 00:36:20,804
And what I want to know
is why is she upset?

772
00:36:21,096 --> 00:36:22,723
Possibly because she's incontinent,

773
00:36:22,806 --> 00:36:25,017
and confused, and has gallstones.

774
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:27,060
No, she's upset because you've put her

775
00:36:27,144 --> 00:36:29,438
in a geriatric ward, that's why!

776
00:36:29,605 --> 00:36:30,981
Every patient on my ward

777
00:36:31,106 --> 00:36:32,649
is much the same age as your mother.

778
00:36:34,067 --> 00:36:36,028
And as it happens, we've several younger.

779
00:36:37,112 --> 00:36:39,406
Well, they obviously haven't
looked after themselves.

780
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:42,451
Or been looked after
by somebody who cares.

781
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:46,038
We care.

782
00:36:47,205 --> 00:36:48,332
(phone ringing)

783
00:36:48,582 --> 00:36:49,541
Constantly.

784
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:55,339
No, I've no news on beds.

785
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:57,758
This is the middle of a working day.

786
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:06,433
(crying)

787
00:37:07,351 --> 00:37:10,479
A whole camera, hidden inside there?

788
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:12,898
Yeah, you can take
still pictures, or a video.

789
00:37:12,981 --> 00:37:14,399
And, as I've explained,

790
00:37:14,816 --> 00:37:16,944
then the filmmakers might use your footage

791
00:37:17,027 --> 00:37:18,028
in their documentary.

792
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,531
It's no thicker than a monthly periodical.

793
00:37:23,617 --> 00:37:25,452
-Has it got a mouse?
-(chuckles)

794
00:37:25,827 --> 00:37:27,120
You don't need a mouse, Mary.

795
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,873
Everything is operated
via the touch screen.

796
00:37:29,957 --> 00:37:33,293
Now, swipe on the icon,
like we did before.

797
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:35,629
With greater gentleness
as though you've seen

798
00:37:35,712 --> 00:37:38,966
a speck of dust and wish to brush it away.

799
00:37:40,926 --> 00:37:41,927
-Oh. (chuckles)
-Ah!

800
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:43,512
You'll put us all out of a job.

801
00:37:44,096 --> 00:37:45,263
I said that to my computer

802
00:37:45,347 --> 00:37:47,557
the day they digitalised the library.

803
00:37:48,225 --> 00:37:50,394
I was at the forefront of modernisation.

804
00:37:52,646 --> 00:37:54,898
What... What do you wish me to record?

805
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:57,401
Well, the filmmakers say

806
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:59,277
they simply want your point of view.

807
00:38:00,195 --> 00:38:02,781
For you to record what you see,

808
00:38:02,864 --> 00:38:05,158
to tell them what your life is like.

809
00:38:08,161 --> 00:38:09,955
I could tell you something
about that chair.

810
00:38:10,622 --> 00:38:11,581
Only I won't.

811
00:38:19,256 --> 00:38:20,090
Come here.

812
00:38:26,304 --> 00:38:27,180
(car horn blares)

813
00:38:33,145 --> 00:38:34,312
(Gilpin laughing)

814
00:38:34,646 --> 00:38:36,940
-You caught me red-handed.
-(laughing)

815
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:39,234
Two hours to turn around
before my night shift,

816
00:38:39,401 --> 00:38:40,944
tucking into sweet and sour pork.

817
00:38:41,445 --> 00:38:42,279
Shocking.

818
00:38:42,362 --> 00:38:43,947
Oh, why shouldn't you treat yourself?

819
00:38:44,489 --> 00:38:46,700
Mine is a deep fried tofu
in black bean sauce.

820
00:38:46,783 --> 00:38:48,744
-Ooh. (chuckles)
-Hmm. (chuckles)

821
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:51,913
Do you know, I get
substantial discount over there.

822
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:55,167
I saw their granddad through
a rather nasty gastric cancer.

823
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:56,585
(Dr Valentine) Oh. How... How did he do?

824
00:38:56,835 --> 00:38:58,003
Deceased. Yeah.

825
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:00,130
Well, he was lucky we found him a bed.

826
00:39:00,213 --> 00:39:03,216
I mean, at his age, he'd either
choke on his own blood at The Royal

827
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,010
or be bussed off to some council home

828
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:06,553
where they've no knack with the morphine.

829
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:07,471
-Hmm.
-Hmm.

830
00:39:09,097 --> 00:39:10,390
I mean, all these managers,

831
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:13,101
all they ever think about
is movement, isn't it?

832
00:39:13,935 --> 00:39:17,064
Like the hospital system
is just some giant bowel

833
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:19,024
that has to keep pumping out shit.

834
00:39:20,317 --> 00:39:21,693
-But it isn't, is it, Dr Val?
-Hmm.

835
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:25,739
It's about getting the patient
to the right place, at the right time.

836
00:39:28,033 --> 00:39:28,992
And to the best,

837
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:31,119
most appropriate bed that can be found.

838
00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:33,914
Don't talk to me about beds. (chuckles)

839
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:35,999
I deal in beds the way some other folk

840
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:37,209
deal in used hatchbacks.

841
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:38,251
(laughing)

842
00:39:38,418 --> 00:39:40,796
-Well, I dream about beds.
-Ah.

843
00:39:40,921 --> 00:39:42,881
Yeah, sometimes they're just
beds that I want to lie in

844
00:39:42,964 --> 00:39:44,007
and go to sleep for days,

845
00:39:44,091 --> 00:39:46,510
but mostly, they are for other people.

846
00:39:47,094 --> 00:39:50,013
For people who need them,
to be healed in, or to die.

847
00:39:50,597 --> 00:39:51,431
(Gilpin) Hmm.

848
00:39:52,265 --> 00:39:54,601
-Empty?
-Oh, they're always empty

849
00:39:55,268 --> 00:39:56,103
'cause I am dreaming.

850
00:40:02,609 --> 00:40:04,277
Dr Val, can I share a worry with you?

851
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:07,948
Most certainly. Yeah.

852
00:40:10,033 --> 00:40:12,953
It's about my speech, you know,
for the medal presentation.

853
00:40:13,036 --> 00:40:14,329
(soft music playing)

854
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:18,416
I don't know what to put.
I don't know what to say.

855
00:40:19,501 --> 00:40:21,837
I'm a woman of deeds,
not a woman of words.

856
00:40:23,922 --> 00:40:27,092
Well, I would advise you
to speak from the heart.

857
00:40:29,803 --> 00:40:30,679
Oh.

858
00:40:33,014 --> 00:40:34,641
All I can think of to say is,

859
00:40:36,184 --> 00:40:37,811
"Don't leave it too late to die."

860
00:40:41,857 --> 00:40:43,400
(soft music continues)

861
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:45,569
(mobile ringing)

862
00:40:49,406 --> 00:40:50,574
All right, twat face?

863
00:40:51,283 --> 00:40:52,159
(George)  How is it going?

864
00:40:52,659 --> 00:40:54,911
Yeah. Dad will pull through.

865
00:40:55,996 --> 00:40:57,205
The hospital won't.

866
00:40:57,289 --> 00:40:59,708
Although I'm struggling
to convince the Chair of that.

867
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,209
Hmm, that's not like you.

868
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,589
(chuckles) I tried.
But he got the best cups out.

869
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,299
(George laughing)

870
00:41:07,382 --> 00:41:09,342
And something
about the place is working.

871
00:41:10,135 --> 00:41:11,261
Must be, otherwise my dad

872
00:41:11,344 --> 00:41:13,054
wouldn't have developed a pantomime cough

873
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:14,848
out of terror they'll discharge him.

874
00:41:14,931 --> 00:41:15,765
(George laughs)

875
00:41:16,099 --> 00:41:18,977
Yet there are less beds than ever,

876
00:41:19,060 --> 00:41:21,271
and money is still swirling down the pan.

877
00:41:22,355 --> 00:41:23,481
You sound tired.

878
00:41:23,607 --> 00:41:25,192
Yes, George.

879
00:41:26,276 --> 00:41:28,904
I am tired. Bloody tired.

880
00:41:29,738 --> 00:41:30,572
I love you.

881
00:41:31,990 --> 00:41:32,949
I know you do.

882
00:41:33,867 --> 00:41:34,784
(George sighs)

883
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:37,579
There are other responses.

884
00:41:41,166 --> 00:41:42,083
All right.

885
00:41:43,877 --> 00:41:45,879
You too, you too.

886
00:41:48,131 --> 00:41:49,633
(soft music continues)

887
00:41:53,887 --> 00:41:55,847
(yawns)

888
00:42:00,352 --> 00:42:02,604
(Gilpin)  I may well have
24 beds under my jurisdiction,

889
00:42:02,687 --> 00:42:04,856
and every single one of them is occupied.

890
00:42:06,983 --> 00:42:08,860
It's carnage incarnate down The Royal,

891
00:42:08,944 --> 00:42:10,153
and now at the Infirmary.

892
00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:11,738
Begging for beds again?

893
00:42:11,821 --> 00:42:14,741
Hmm, they're failing to hit
their targets, apparently.

894
00:42:15,909 --> 00:42:18,453
Oh, I'll have to give
Snowdrop Court a ring again,

895
00:42:18,536 --> 00:42:19,913
see if we can move somebody there.

896
00:42:20,789 --> 00:42:22,999
Or throw myself on the mercy
of Green Lawns.

897
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:25,293
Green Lawns? Is it that bad?

898
00:42:26,711 --> 00:42:28,380
I need a black coffee. Two sugars.

899
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:35,262
(dialling)

900
00:42:36,137 --> 00:42:37,138
(line ringing)

901
00:42:45,230 --> 00:42:46,356
What's on the trolley?

902
00:42:47,274 --> 00:42:48,233
(sighs)

903
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:49,693
You got any cigs?

904
00:42:51,111 --> 00:42:52,570
I've got large-print books.

905
00:42:53,029 --> 00:42:54,155
It's no smoking in here.

906
00:42:55,448 --> 00:42:56,366
Live a little.

907
00:42:57,033 --> 00:42:58,159
I'm on work experience.

908
00:42:58,243 --> 00:43:00,870
And I've been assigned
to wheel you to the shower later.

909
00:43:00,954 --> 00:43:03,206
They'd have had you down a coal mine once.

910
00:43:04,874 --> 00:43:06,876
Have you had sexual intercourse yet?

911
00:43:09,045 --> 00:43:10,297
Yeah, loads of times.

912
00:43:10,380 --> 00:43:11,631
What do you reckon to it?

913
00:43:13,174 --> 00:43:14,009
It's all right.

914
00:43:15,093 --> 00:43:16,678
Do you want to feel my feet?

915
00:43:18,972 --> 00:43:20,181
It wouldn't be top of my list.

916
00:43:20,974 --> 00:43:23,310
Not in a mucky way. In a medical way.

917
00:43:23,393 --> 00:43:24,519
They keep swelling up.

918
00:43:25,145 --> 00:43:26,604
Oh, well, they look all right from here.

919
00:43:27,981 --> 00:43:30,608
Improvement is not in my best interest.

920
00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:35,030
(Dr Valentine) It's Mr Colman, isn't it?

921
00:43:36,281 --> 00:43:37,449
May I join you?

922
00:43:38,241 --> 00:43:39,117
Yeah.

923
00:43:41,286 --> 00:43:42,162
(clears throat)

924
00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:45,081
I was with your father earlier.

925
00:43:45,832 --> 00:43:46,958
He's very proud of you.

926
00:43:49,502 --> 00:43:50,587
That's news to me.

927
00:43:52,130 --> 00:43:53,006
That's fathers.

928
00:43:56,259 --> 00:43:58,970
Mr Colman, may I show you something?

929
00:44:01,222 --> 00:44:02,932
They closed this ward six months ago.

930
00:44:04,642 --> 00:44:07,062
Closure was financially appropriate.

931
00:44:07,896 --> 00:44:08,730
Look at this.

932
00:44:09,773 --> 00:44:10,648
Tell me what you see.

933
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,235
A bed.

934
00:44:15,779 --> 00:44:18,156
It's a way out of A & E
when somebody has fallen.

935
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,534
It comes with oxygen,

936
00:44:21,785 --> 00:44:25,121
with intravenous pain relief
for broken bones.

937
00:44:25,955 --> 00:44:29,125
It comes equipped with hoists,
with air flow mattresses,

938
00:44:29,250 --> 00:44:32,379
a hook for catheters,
a bell to summon help.

939
00:44:34,130 --> 00:44:37,634
It carries on its shoulders
care assistants, porters, nurses,

940
00:44:38,593 --> 00:44:43,056
anaesthetists, junior doctors,
housemen, a consultant.

941
00:44:43,973 --> 00:44:44,808
And stretching ahead

942
00:44:44,891 --> 00:44:47,018
are all the possibilities
recovery entails.

943
00:44:47,894 --> 00:44:48,770
Such as?

944
00:44:49,104 --> 00:44:51,398
Occupational therapists and dieticians.

945
00:44:52,148 --> 00:44:55,068
Physios and phlebotomists.
District nurses.

946
00:44:56,903 --> 00:44:58,071
When somebody gets a bed,

947
00:44:58,446 --> 00:45:00,615
they get so much more
than a piece of furniture.

948
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:03,159
They get everything we are.

949
00:45:05,578 --> 00:45:06,830
Well, if you put it that way.

950
00:45:08,540 --> 00:45:09,499
But at what cost?

951
00:45:10,875 --> 00:45:14,546
The cost is not exorbitant.
The cost is nothing.

952
00:45:14,671 --> 00:45:16,423
Money isn't exactly your strong suit,

953
00:45:17,257 --> 00:45:18,299
is it, Dr Valentine?

954
00:45:20,510 --> 00:45:22,011
It isn't the thing I think of first.

955
00:45:29,769 --> 00:45:30,770
What you up to, Joe?

956
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,732
Trying to get these the right way round.

957
00:45:36,484 --> 00:45:37,569
I was, er,

958
00:45:38,445 --> 00:45:41,072
a banksman at the pit.

959
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,700
I'd give the men their tally
afore they went down,

960
00:45:43,783 --> 00:45:46,161
and they'd hand them back
when they came up safe.

961
00:45:47,162 --> 00:45:48,246
I remember them as much

962
00:45:48,371 --> 00:45:50,415
by their numbers as by their names.

963
00:45:51,291 --> 00:45:52,167
Joe, love.

964
00:45:53,168 --> 00:45:56,671
Dr Valentine thinks it might be better
if we took your wedding ring off.

965
00:45:58,631 --> 00:45:59,591
Better for who?

966
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:01,134
Well, you.

967
00:46:01,718 --> 00:46:02,760
Your fingers keep puffing up

968
00:46:02,844 --> 00:46:04,637
because your circulation's not behaving.

969
00:46:06,055 --> 00:46:06,890
I'm...

970
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,309
I'm on tablets for that.

971
00:46:09,642 --> 00:46:11,978
Yeah, and if they work,
you can have your ring back.

972
00:46:12,312 --> 00:46:13,605
I'll just need to nip it in half

973
00:46:14,189 --> 00:46:15,482
with a little pair of pliers.

974
00:46:16,274 --> 00:46:18,109
(chuckling) You bloody don't!

975
00:46:18,443 --> 00:46:21,070
Stopping where it is.
Where it's always been.

976
00:46:21,488 --> 00:46:24,324
I have never, ever taken it off. Never.

977
00:46:25,825 --> 00:46:27,243
It's for the good of your health, Joe.

978
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:30,997
You can sod off with your sodding pliers.

979
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:32,081
Leave me be.

980
00:46:32,415 --> 00:46:33,249
All right.

981
00:46:34,083 --> 00:46:35,126
(Gilpin) Shower time.

982
00:46:37,587 --> 00:46:38,796
(Joe groaning)

983
00:46:42,050 --> 00:46:43,092
(Joe) Jesus wept.

984
00:46:47,597 --> 00:46:48,473
(groans)

985
00:46:49,265 --> 00:46:51,267
(Gilpin) Right, first,
I'm gonna take your trousers off.

986
00:46:52,018 --> 00:46:53,853
(Joe) I bet you've said that a few times.

987
00:46:54,020 --> 00:46:56,356
I've got no interest in your penis.

988
00:46:57,273 --> 00:46:58,691
You're not in any danger.

989
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:00,401
These days, it's swelling

990
00:47:00,485 --> 00:47:02,737
-the ranks of the unemployed.
-(door opens)

991
00:47:02,904 --> 00:47:04,906
Oh, sorry. I'm just looking for my father.

992
00:47:09,369 --> 00:47:11,412
He has no interest in my penis either.

993
00:47:11,955 --> 00:47:12,956
(door opens)

994
00:47:15,041 --> 00:47:17,210
Nobody told me
Joan Collins was a bathroom.

995
00:47:18,002 --> 00:47:19,754
Sister Face Ache says
you're to go back in,

996
00:47:20,004 --> 00:47:21,506
sit in a corner and make small talk

997
00:47:21,589 --> 00:47:22,840
because nobody likes to feel

998
00:47:22,924 --> 00:47:24,342
they cause revulsion in a loved one.

999
00:47:24,425 --> 00:47:26,844
It's not revulsion. It's pity.

1000
00:47:27,470 --> 00:47:28,346
Is that better?

1001
00:47:33,268 --> 00:47:34,227
-(sighs)
-(door closes)

1002
00:47:39,524 --> 00:47:40,900
-(door thuds)
-He's back.

1003
00:47:42,652 --> 00:47:45,738
You're gonna mark the floor
with those shoes.

1004
00:47:46,281 --> 00:47:48,324
And I'm not having anyone
saying it was me.

1005
00:47:49,117 --> 00:47:51,786
I don't leave marks. I'm a very clean man.

1006
00:47:51,869 --> 00:47:54,080
And you'll be all the cleaner
when I've finished with you.

1007
00:47:54,789 --> 00:47:56,708
Are you suggesting I do it in my trousers?

1008
00:47:56,791 --> 00:47:57,917
Because I never do.

1009
00:47:58,751 --> 00:48:00,712
I always sing out when I need to go.

1010
00:48:01,462 --> 00:48:02,839
-(Gilpin) You're a model.
-Yes.

1011
00:48:02,922 --> 00:48:04,299
(Gilpin) Otherwise
you'd be on me blacklist.

1012
00:48:05,091 --> 00:48:05,967
Now...

1013
00:48:06,801 --> 00:48:07,719
Now, is that better?

1014
00:48:08,720 --> 00:48:09,679
I smell better.

1015
00:48:10,972 --> 00:48:11,848
So, what do you say?

1016
00:48:12,724 --> 00:48:14,851
We don't say anything. It's your job.

1017
00:48:15,435 --> 00:48:16,269
Dad!

1018
00:48:16,686 --> 00:48:18,062
Oh, it speaks.

1019
00:48:20,732 --> 00:48:22,650
His feet look swollen.

1020
00:48:23,610 --> 00:48:25,028
That's inactivity.

1021
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:26,904
We've a remedy for that.

1022
00:48:33,870 --> 00:48:34,829
Right, stop there.

1023
00:48:42,712 --> 00:48:44,005
(Bossa Nova music playing)

1024
00:48:44,297 --> 00:48:45,840
(Gilpin) Right, let's get you vertical.

1025
00:48:46,215 --> 00:48:47,091
Eh?

1026
00:48:47,175 --> 00:48:49,844
He can't stand up.
Dad, you know you can't.

1027
00:48:50,094 --> 00:48:51,554
(groaning softly)

1028
00:48:53,348 --> 00:48:54,182
Come towards me.

1029
00:48:55,475 --> 00:48:58,227
You're pushing on an open door
with a bossa nova.

1030
00:48:59,312 --> 00:49:01,522
You know, sometimes,
even when people can't walk,

1031
00:49:01,606 --> 00:49:02,482
they can dance.

1032
00:49:03,399 --> 00:49:04,692
We presume it's the music.

1033
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:09,405
Unlocking some long-lost
pattern in the brain.

1034
00:49:10,073 --> 00:49:10,990
(exclaims) Wait...

1035
00:49:11,157 --> 00:49:13,368
Wait till I tell
Gorgeous Gerald about this.

1036
00:49:14,786 --> 00:49:15,620
That's it.

1037
00:49:15,828 --> 00:49:16,954
(Bossa Nova music continues)

1038
00:49:18,247 --> 00:49:20,958
Slow. Quick, quick, slow.

1039
00:49:25,588 --> 00:49:26,422
(Joe) Hey,

1040
00:49:26,881 --> 00:49:28,591
you're champion at this, you are.

1041
00:49:30,051 --> 00:49:32,261
Well, not an actual champion.

1042
00:49:32,512 --> 00:49:35,807
I was an actual champion, with his mam.

1043
00:49:36,933 --> 00:49:38,142
We won a cup once

1044
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:41,854
at a holiday camp in Filey.

1045
00:49:42,021 --> 00:49:43,690
-Ooh! (laughing)
-It was Scarborough.

1046
00:49:44,691 --> 00:49:45,817
(Gilpin) Can you dance too?

1047
00:49:46,651 --> 00:49:47,485
No.

1048
00:49:48,236 --> 00:49:50,905
-He sings.
-(chuckles) I used to.

1049
00:49:51,906 --> 00:49:53,908
You had the voice of an angel.

1050
00:49:54,117 --> 00:49:55,118
(coughing)

1051
00:49:56,035 --> 00:49:57,120
All right. Come on.

1052
00:49:57,537 --> 00:49:58,371
Hang on a minute.

1053
00:49:58,579 --> 00:49:59,997
(Joe panting)

1054
00:50:00,707 --> 00:50:02,166
-There we go.
-(groans)

1055
00:50:04,752 --> 00:50:05,586
Go on...

1056
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:06,963
-(music switched off)
-...sing.

1057
00:50:08,131 --> 00:50:10,091
I can't remember any songs.

1058
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:13,970
Give us  Blow the Wind Southerly.

1059
00:50:14,220 --> 00:50:15,430
Bring the house down.

1060
00:50:16,806 --> 00:50:17,640
No.

1061
00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:18,975
(sighs)

1062
00:50:20,351 --> 00:50:23,604
Well, that's your
entertainment over and out

1063
00:50:25,773 --> 00:50:28,067
because I've finished
performing for one day.

1064
00:50:29,152 --> 00:50:30,570
And I need the lav.

1065
00:50:31,112 --> 00:50:31,946
(Gilpin) Come on.

1066
00:50:32,447 --> 00:50:33,656
And it was Filey.

1067
00:50:35,074 --> 00:50:35,992
Scarborough.

1068
00:50:36,367 --> 00:50:37,618
(amusing music playing)

1069
00:50:39,871 --> 00:50:43,249
Mavis, do you remember eyebrows?

1070
00:50:44,917 --> 00:50:45,835
Vaguely.

1071
00:50:46,919 --> 00:50:48,379
(Lucille) Where do you suppose they go?

1072
00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:52,175
They take up residence inside men's ears.

1073
00:50:52,467 --> 00:50:53,301
(Lucille) Oh.

1074
00:50:54,844 --> 00:50:57,388
I was sat next to Ambrose
in choir the other day,

1075
00:50:57,472 --> 00:50:59,432
and you've never seen so much hair

1076
00:50:59,515 --> 00:51:01,184
as he's got down his lughole.

1077
00:51:02,393 --> 00:51:04,061
What are you playing at, Mary?

1078
00:51:05,688 --> 00:51:08,274
I'm familiarising myself with the iPad.

1079
00:51:09,734 --> 00:51:12,445
The young men are keen
to receive my impressions

1080
00:51:13,154 --> 00:51:14,322
for their documentary.

1081
00:51:14,906 --> 00:51:16,282
I've got carte blanche

1082
00:51:17,408 --> 00:51:19,577
as long as I've got something
sensible on my feet.

1083
00:51:29,295 --> 00:51:31,547
Signal's best if you go round the kitchen
and stand on the bins.

1084
00:51:32,965 --> 00:51:33,841
All right.

1085
00:51:34,592 --> 00:51:35,968
No, I was just heading off, actually.

1086
00:51:40,223 --> 00:51:41,349
Thanks for what you're doing for my dad.

1087
00:51:42,892 --> 00:51:43,810
That doesn't look easy.

1088
00:51:45,978 --> 00:51:47,021
I'll be out of here next week.

1089
00:51:47,647 --> 00:51:48,523
Huh.

1090
00:51:49,774 --> 00:51:50,691
What are you looking at?

1091
00:51:52,985 --> 00:51:53,945
It's your bike.

1092
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:56,155
Well, it's a rubbish bike.

1093
00:51:57,698 --> 00:51:59,283
Rubbish? No.

1094
00:52:00,743 --> 00:52:01,911
I had one just like that once.

1095
00:52:02,995 --> 00:52:04,288
(Gilpin) You're in my good books today.

1096
00:52:05,206 --> 00:52:07,667
A very nice bit of self-directed physio

1097
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,877
and some immaculate bladder management.

1098
00:52:10,002 --> 00:52:11,254
(groans) When...

1099
00:52:11,546 --> 00:52:14,173
When was I in your bad book?

1100
00:52:14,549 --> 00:52:15,466
Well, you haven't been yet.

1101
00:52:16,551 --> 00:52:18,636
That said, I do keep tabs on people.

1102
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:19,595
(Joe grunts)

1103
00:52:20,721 --> 00:52:21,848
(panting) I had

1104
00:52:23,307 --> 00:52:25,309
tabs on people once.

1105
00:52:29,105 --> 00:52:31,816
I used to be a tally man down the pit.

1106
00:52:34,402 --> 00:52:36,529
Every shift I'd... I'd... I'd...

1107
00:52:36,779 --> 00:52:39,490
I'd count the men down and, er,

1108
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,326
I'd count them up again.

1109
00:52:44,495 --> 00:52:45,454
I had the list.

1110
00:52:46,747 --> 00:52:47,748
And the... And the list

1111
00:52:48,708 --> 00:52:50,334
could mean the difference between

1112
00:52:50,710 --> 00:52:53,796
life and the reverse.

1113
00:52:53,963 --> 00:52:54,797
Well, come along.

1114
00:52:54,922 --> 00:52:56,132
You've done enough for one day.

1115
00:52:56,424 --> 00:52:58,426
Save the past for reminiscence therapy.

1116
00:53:02,471 --> 00:53:03,681
(coughing)

1117
00:53:05,266 --> 00:53:06,267
(soft music playing)

1118
00:53:13,608 --> 00:53:14,483
What job do you do?

1119
00:53:16,152 --> 00:53:17,486
I'm a management consultant.

1120
00:53:19,530 --> 00:53:20,573
What, is that computers?

1121
00:53:21,657 --> 00:53:23,409
Eh. Yes and no.

1122
00:53:25,369 --> 00:53:26,287
They're just a tool.

1123
00:53:28,956 --> 00:53:29,916
What's London like?

1124
00:53:30,750 --> 00:53:31,584
(sighs)

1125
00:53:33,628 --> 00:53:34,462
Better.

1126
00:53:35,129 --> 00:53:37,214
Better. Better clubs and all that?

1127
00:53:37,715 --> 00:53:39,216
Yeah, better clubs and all that.

1128
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:43,179
Better food. Better weather.
Better prospects.

1129
00:53:43,930 --> 00:53:46,307
Worse traffic, but can't have everything.

1130
00:53:51,062 --> 00:53:51,979
You should try it.

1131
00:53:53,272 --> 00:53:54,106
Go.

1132
00:53:55,066 --> 00:53:56,359
Just for a week, a day.

1133
00:54:00,321 --> 00:54:01,155
I might.

1134
00:54:04,367 --> 00:54:05,201
I did.

1135
00:54:17,004 --> 00:54:17,880
Mr Colman?

1136
00:54:20,174 --> 00:54:23,094
Nurse Pinkney said you were unhappy
about having your wedding ring removed?

1137
00:54:23,386 --> 00:54:24,220
(sighs)

1138
00:54:26,138 --> 00:54:28,599
I was unhappy about having it cut off.

1139
00:54:29,934 --> 00:54:32,311
A ring is round,

1140
00:54:32,395 --> 00:54:33,604
it has no end. If you...

1141
00:54:34,021 --> 00:54:35,439
If you cut it off, it's finished.

1142
00:54:36,941 --> 00:54:37,942
May I see it?

1143
00:54:42,947 --> 00:54:44,115
Your fingers are swollen, Joe.

1144
00:54:45,491 --> 00:54:46,534
This will fluctuate,

1145
00:54:46,617 --> 00:54:48,494
but my worry is that
should things get worse,

1146
00:54:48,577 --> 00:54:51,080
rather than better,
you could be in real pain.

1147
00:54:52,748 --> 00:54:54,333
The ring may cut off your blood flow.

1148
00:54:58,587 --> 00:54:59,964
It were never that comfy.

1149
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,758
I'll soldier on with it.

1150
00:55:05,011 --> 00:55:06,220
I brought some grease.

1151
00:55:06,887 --> 00:55:08,639
Will you let me try
and remove it that way?

1152
00:55:11,684 --> 00:55:12,601
(Mrs Maudsley) I fell.

1153
00:55:13,060 --> 00:55:15,021
I know, love. You fractured your ankle.

1154
00:55:17,064 --> 00:55:18,190
It was mine.

1155
00:55:19,275 --> 00:55:20,735
It's gonna feel a little bit numb

1156
00:55:20,818 --> 00:55:22,028
until the boot comes off.

1157
00:55:25,156 --> 00:55:27,158
It was my house.

1158
00:55:28,617 --> 00:55:30,828
But we can start you with the physio soon.

1159
00:55:30,911 --> 00:55:33,622
You'll like him.
We call him Gorgeous Gerald.

1160
00:55:35,541 --> 00:55:36,417
Come on, sweetheart.

1161
00:55:37,668 --> 00:55:38,794
Come on. Up we come.

1162
00:55:50,347 --> 00:55:51,307
-(Dr Valentine grunts)
-(groans)

1163
00:55:53,184 --> 00:55:54,018
All done.

1164
00:55:56,896 --> 00:55:57,772
(Gilpin) There.

1165
00:55:59,106 --> 00:55:59,940
Oh.

1166
00:56:02,568 --> 00:56:03,444
Thank you.

1167
00:56:04,695 --> 00:56:05,613
All gone.

1168
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,115
Lovely job.

1169
00:56:10,868 --> 00:56:12,203
(upbeat piano music playing)

1170
00:56:13,162 --> 00:56:14,997
(Gerald)  All together, everybody.

1171
00:56:15,289 --> 00:56:17,666
(patients singing)
Good morning, good morning

1172
00:56:18,042 --> 00:56:20,002
We've danced
the whole night through

1173
00:56:20,086 --> 00:56:22,922
Good morning,
good morning to you

1174
00:56:23,005 --> 00:56:23,881
(Gerald) Lovely.

1175
00:56:24,173 --> 00:56:25,341
Deep breaths now.

1176
00:56:25,674 --> 00:56:28,427
Now, see if you can move your arms.

1177
00:56:29,095 --> 00:56:30,471
Wonderful, Mavis.

1178
00:56:30,554 --> 00:56:32,348
Good morning to you

1179
00:56:32,431 --> 00:56:36,852
And remember, everyone,
we're being our best selves.

1180
00:56:37,019 --> 00:56:38,312
The moon was shining bright

1181
00:56:38,729 --> 00:56:40,981
Now the milkman's on his way

1182
00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:42,566
It's too late to say goodnight

1183
00:56:42,650 --> 00:56:44,819
Lively, Mary. Think sunshine.

1184
00:56:44,902 --> 00:56:45,945
Good morning

1185
00:56:46,070 --> 00:56:48,114
Sunbeams will soon shine through

1186
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,576
Good morning,
good morning to you

1187
00:56:52,660 --> 00:56:54,161
-  (music ends)
-(Gerald)  Lovely.

1188
00:56:54,245 --> 00:56:55,204
-(applause)
-(tearfully) Oh.

1189
00:56:55,788 --> 00:56:58,415
(Mitchell) All she had to do
was stay alive.

1190
00:56:58,499 --> 00:56:59,333
(Mrs Earnshaw crying)

1191
00:56:59,416 --> 00:57:01,127
All you had to do was keep her that way!

1192
00:57:01,210 --> 00:57:03,754
(chairman nervously) Well, I...
I think you're mistaking my position.

1193
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:05,256
Thanks.

1194
00:57:06,215 --> 00:57:08,217
Chairman of the Board is, erm,

1195
00:57:09,135 --> 00:57:11,554
well, it's an honorary role.

1196
00:57:11,887 --> 00:57:14,181
Alive. For three more months.

1197
00:57:14,932 --> 00:57:17,434
I'm... I'm told your mother was,

1198
00:57:17,852 --> 00:57:19,145
well, 92.

1199
00:57:19,228 --> 00:57:20,437
Yeah. Well,

1200
00:57:21,355 --> 00:57:24,400
the  Express   says that 90 is the new 70.

1201
00:57:26,068 --> 00:57:27,403
We want a post mortem.

1202
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:28,571
-Oh, er...
-(door opens)

1203
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,739
Sorry, you said
we could film in here today...

1204
00:57:30,823 --> 00:57:32,074
Oh. No, no, no, not just now. No, erm...

1205
00:57:32,158 --> 00:57:34,743
Look, you're intruding on...
on private grief.

1206
00:57:34,827 --> 00:57:37,496
Actually... Actually,
they can come right in.

1207
00:57:37,663 --> 00:57:39,665
There'll be nothing private about my grief

1208
00:57:39,832 --> 00:57:41,625
when The Beth's had up in court!

1209
00:57:41,834 --> 00:57:43,586
-(knocking on door)
-Oh, please, please!

1210
00:57:43,919 --> 00:57:45,629
These people are heartbroken!

1211
00:57:46,046 --> 00:57:47,673
Oh. Your mother's physician.

1212
00:57:48,007 --> 00:57:49,550
Hey, erm...

1213
00:57:49,633 --> 00:57:53,929
Dr Valentine will be able
to answer your questions.

1214
00:57:55,764 --> 00:57:58,893
It's entirely natural,
upon losing a loved one,

1215
00:57:59,018 --> 00:58:01,812
to ask, well, why.

1216
00:58:02,479 --> 00:58:03,814
Not "why?"

1217
00:58:04,607 --> 00:58:05,482
(firmly) Why?

1218
00:58:06,442 --> 00:58:08,527
Why, after you got your hands on her,

1219
00:58:08,611 --> 00:58:11,113
did an old lass in perfectly good nick

1220
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,823
suddenly peg out, huh?

1221
00:58:14,575 --> 00:58:15,409
Huh?

1222
00:58:15,910 --> 00:58:16,744
(chuckles)

1223
00:58:16,827 --> 00:58:19,121
Well, according to Sister Gilpin,

1224
00:58:19,205 --> 00:58:20,915
she had gallstones, you know, and...

1225
00:58:21,457 --> 00:58:23,918
and she was, of course, incontinent.

1226
00:58:24,084 --> 00:58:25,628
-Oh, God.
-Oh. Well, yeah.

1227
00:58:26,378 --> 00:58:28,339
I may not know much about medicine,

1228
00:58:28,422 --> 00:58:31,759
but even I know that you
don't die of wet knickers.

1229
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:35,512
Your mother slept through
the ending of her life.

1230
00:58:36,055 --> 00:58:37,473
In time, if not today,

1231
00:58:37,556 --> 00:58:39,016
you will come to see it as a blessing.

1232
00:58:39,099 --> 00:58:40,059
Ha!

1233
00:58:41,352 --> 00:58:42,895
Sister Gilpin was at the helm,

1234
00:58:42,978 --> 00:58:45,773
and, well, she is one of our finest.

1235
00:58:46,649 --> 00:58:48,943
She's about to be awarded
the Bywater Medal.

1236
00:58:49,026 --> 00:58:52,529
I don't care if she's about
to be awarded the V-bloody-C!

1237
00:58:52,613 --> 00:58:53,697
Oh, sir, tmesis.

1238
00:58:56,033 --> 00:58:56,909
Shut up!

1239
00:58:58,035 --> 00:59:00,204
(Mrs Earnshaw) We shall be
pushing for an inquiry.

1240
00:59:00,371 --> 00:59:03,332
With a... With a view to compensation.

1241
00:59:03,457 --> 00:59:04,833
(Dr Valentine) You have lost your mother.

1242
00:59:05,501 --> 00:59:07,878
Surely no amount of money
can compensate for that?

1243
00:59:08,963 --> 00:59:11,298
It can compensate us for inheritance tax.

1244
00:59:12,258 --> 00:59:14,093
She made that house over to us

1245
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:17,638
six years, eight months and 25 days ago.

1246
00:59:19,556 --> 00:59:21,225
In three months, it would have been ours.

1247
00:59:24,603 --> 00:59:25,688
(party horns blaring)

1248
00:59:27,731 --> 00:59:28,691
(woman) Boys!

1249
00:59:29,942 --> 00:59:31,318
Do you want any? Come on, Dad.

1250
00:59:33,946 --> 00:59:35,990
Am I disturbing you, Ambrose?

1251
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,491
No. I...

1252
00:59:38,033 --> 00:59:41,412
Although I will have
to curtail a conversation

1253
00:59:41,537 --> 00:59:42,997
if my visitor arrives.

1254
00:59:45,082 --> 00:59:50,254
It's always such a pleasure
to chat with a former student.

1255
00:59:50,337 --> 00:59:51,380
Well, I...

1256
00:59:51,839 --> 00:59:53,966
I come to you as a student today.

1257
00:59:54,341 --> 00:59:55,175
Ah!

1258
00:59:55,509 --> 00:59:57,469
{\an8}I am returning the book of  Modern Poetry.

1259
00:59:57,886 --> 00:59:59,596
{\an8}-Uh-huh.
-I enjoyed it very much.

1260
01:00:00,055 --> 01:00:02,057
{\an8}All the help you have given me
with my English

1261
01:00:02,141 --> 01:00:03,767
is most appreciated.

1262
01:00:04,476 --> 01:00:06,312
Ah, yeah, did you read them aloud,

1263
01:00:07,271 --> 01:00:09,023
or just in your head?

1264
01:00:09,231 --> 01:00:11,900
I always said to my pupils,

1265
01:00:12,860 --> 01:00:16,947
"Verse does not live unless it is spoken."

1266
01:00:18,365 --> 01:00:19,700
I did not read them out aloud.

1267
01:00:20,617 --> 01:00:21,577
(sighs)

1268
01:00:23,912 --> 01:00:25,289
(Ambrose) Page 44.

1269
01:00:25,664 --> 01:00:28,250
Or, er, possibly 49.

1270
01:00:32,296 --> 01:00:33,922
"Ten Types of Hospital Visitor"?

1271
01:00:34,715 --> 01:00:36,717
Read the sixth.

1272
01:00:37,384 --> 01:00:38,886
The sixth is ideal.

1273
01:00:40,387 --> 01:00:42,181
"The sixth visitor says little,

1274
01:00:43,057 --> 01:00:46,226
Breathes reassurance,
Smiles securely,

1275
01:00:46,685 --> 01:00:48,729
Carries no black passport of grapes

1276
01:00:48,812 --> 01:00:49,980
And visa of chocolate..."

1277
01:00:50,064 --> 01:00:51,023
(both chuckle)

1278
01:00:51,398 --> 01:00:53,067
"...has a clutch
Of clean washing,

1279
01:00:53,150 --> 01:00:55,736
Unobtrusively stows it
In the locker,

1280
01:00:55,819 --> 01:00:56,987
Searches out more.

1281
01:00:57,571 --> 01:00:59,281
Talks quietly to the Sister

1282
01:00:59,365 --> 01:01:01,992
Out of sight, out of earshot,
of the patient,

1283
01:01:02,618 --> 01:01:04,370
Arrives punctually as a tide,

1284
01:01:04,661 --> 01:01:06,288
Does not stay for the whole hour.

1285
01:01:07,206 --> 01:01:08,332
When she has gone

1286
01:01:08,624 --> 01:01:10,417
The patient seems to sense her there:

1287
01:01:11,126 --> 01:01:12,711
An upholding Presence"

1288
01:01:17,007 --> 01:01:17,966
Oh, thank you.

1289
01:01:18,258 --> 01:01:19,510
Thank you very much. Thank you.

1290
01:01:24,556 --> 01:01:26,517
Now the last verse.

1291
01:01:27,643 --> 01:01:28,685
It's very short.

1292
01:01:29,978 --> 01:01:31,271
No, Ambrose. I...

1293
01:01:32,648 --> 01:01:33,816
"The last visitor

1294
01:01:35,734 --> 01:01:38,529
Is not generally named"

1295
01:01:39,488 --> 01:01:40,697
It says tenth here.

1296
01:01:43,492 --> 01:01:45,619
(voice breaking) We...
We both know what it means.

1297
01:01:48,580 --> 01:01:49,540
(sniffling)

1298
01:01:53,627 --> 01:01:55,546
Are you going to move me on?

1299
01:01:57,089 --> 01:02:00,217
Not unless we can find
you somewhere better. Okay?

1300
01:02:01,135 --> 01:02:02,094
(Ambrose sighs)

1301
01:02:07,850 --> 01:02:08,892
(sniffling)

1302
01:02:20,904 --> 01:02:22,030
(sombre music playing)

1303
01:02:27,035 --> 01:02:28,829
(Joe) I don't wanna feed the ducks.

1304
01:02:29,163 --> 01:02:31,373
Feeding the ducks is for kiddies.

1305
01:02:32,082 --> 01:02:33,876
(Colin) You'll hurt
the volunteers' feelings.

1306
01:02:34,543 --> 01:02:36,420
They went out of their way
to find us something for them.

1307
01:02:36,837 --> 01:02:38,589
(Joe) Well, it's only
a bit of stale bread.

1308
01:02:39,256 --> 01:02:40,174
(Colin) All right, then.

1309
01:02:40,591 --> 01:02:42,843
How about the sensory garden?

1310
01:02:44,303 --> 01:02:45,637
(Joe) It's for blind people.

1311
01:02:48,474 --> 01:02:51,602
This is no way for grown men
to spend their time.

1312
01:02:53,020 --> 01:02:54,563
You could always join that choir.

1313
01:02:58,484 --> 01:03:00,360
Do you remember the strike, Colin?

1314
01:03:02,237 --> 01:03:03,238
Just about.

1315
01:03:04,239 --> 01:03:05,407
What made you think of that?

1316
01:03:05,741 --> 01:03:06,700
Stale bread.

1317
01:03:07,951 --> 01:03:11,288
You'd think it would be
the sound of truncheons on a riot shield,

1318
01:03:11,371 --> 01:03:14,625
or voices raised in anger,
that reminded me.

1319
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:16,293
Not bloody stale bread.

1320
01:03:18,128 --> 01:03:21,131
Your mam trying to feed us
with nothing in her purse.

1321
01:03:21,298 --> 01:03:23,133
Yeah, the strike was a long time ago, Dad.

1322
01:03:23,217 --> 01:03:24,885
Nobody's picketing any more.

1323
01:03:26,303 --> 01:03:27,387
Nowt to picket.

1324
01:03:30,057 --> 01:03:31,183
Do you know what I remember most?

1325
01:03:32,768 --> 01:03:34,937
Just how bloody dreary it was.

1326
01:03:36,104 --> 01:03:37,397
-Dreary?
-The talk.

1327
01:03:37,981 --> 01:03:40,651
Endless, endless talk, all of the time.

1328
01:03:41,818 --> 01:03:44,655
Though being egged on to hate
Mrs Thatcher was exciting,

1329
01:03:44,738 --> 01:03:45,572
I'll give you that.

1330
01:03:46,490 --> 01:03:48,534
Didn't last long with you, though, did it?

1331
01:03:48,825 --> 01:03:49,826
Dad, I was a kid.

1332
01:03:50,619 --> 01:03:53,455
If you push a kid too far one way,
they do end up going the other.

1333
01:03:54,206 --> 01:03:55,457
I didn't push you.

1334
01:03:56,708 --> 01:03:58,502
You had me rattling collection tins.

1335
01:03:59,503 --> 01:04:01,797
You dragged me to the rallies,
put me on your shoulders.

1336
01:04:02,005 --> 01:04:05,509
You made me sing
at Miners' Benefit concerts.

1337
01:04:06,009 --> 01:04:07,886
There would be pound notes in the hat

1338
01:04:07,970 --> 01:04:09,930
when you sang  Blow the Wind Southerly.

1339
01:04:13,392 --> 01:04:14,393
Where are you taking me now?

1340
01:04:14,476 --> 01:04:16,645
The sensory garden,
before the bloody ducks

1341
01:04:16,728 --> 01:04:18,188
die of a Mother's Pride overdose.

1342
01:04:23,277 --> 01:04:24,903
I've got to head back soon, Dad.

1343
01:04:25,737 --> 01:04:27,489
What, to that bank hotel?

1344
01:04:27,906 --> 01:04:28,740
To London.

1345
01:04:29,199 --> 01:04:31,994
The Minister needs his hand-holding.

1346
01:04:32,286 --> 01:04:33,745
He's not one as well, is he?

1347
01:04:35,205 --> 01:04:37,207
No, he's not. It's... (sighs)

1348
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:39,918
It's a figure of speech, Dad.

1349
01:04:47,342 --> 01:04:48,552
(Colin sighs)

1350
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:55,726
There's a threat of a strike.

1351
01:04:57,728 --> 01:04:59,229
He's losing his nerve.

1352
01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:01,607
Who's fighting for what?

1353
01:05:01,690 --> 01:05:05,235
Doctors. For better
work conditions and pay.

1354
01:05:07,070 --> 01:05:09,364
There is no more noble cause.

1355
01:05:11,241 --> 01:05:12,951
I'm on the other side, Dad.

1356
01:05:14,161 --> 01:05:15,287
I forget.

1357
01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:17,331
I don't think you do.

1358
01:05:18,206 --> 01:05:21,251
Your mam used to say
you had the voice of an angel.

1359
01:05:24,087 --> 01:05:25,464
I don't forget that.

1360
01:05:27,257 --> 01:05:30,010
(Colin singing)
Blow the wind southerly

1361
01:05:30,135 --> 01:05:33,263
Southerly, southerly

1362
01:05:33,972 --> 01:05:39,019
Blow, bonny breeze,
my lover to me

1363
01:05:40,729 --> 01:05:42,898
-They told me last night
-(Joe joins in)

1364
01:05:42,981 --> 01:05:45,817
There were ships in the offing

1365
01:05:46,818 --> 01:05:51,823
And I hurried down
to the deep rolling sea

1366
01:05:52,574 --> 01:05:55,744
But my eye could not see it

1367
01:05:56,578 --> 01:05:59,247
Wherever might be it

1368
01:06:01,083 --> 01:06:04,461
The barque that is bearing

1369
01:06:04,628 --> 01:06:10,884
My lover to me

1370
01:06:13,053 --> 01:06:14,554
(Joe sniffles)

1371
01:06:22,688 --> 01:06:23,647
Lad.

1372
01:06:24,648 --> 01:06:25,482
What?

1373
01:06:26,692 --> 01:06:29,820
Just because a thing has gone,

1374
01:06:31,196 --> 01:06:32,864
doesn't mean it was never good.

1375
01:06:34,116 --> 01:06:35,283
Well, what was never good?

1376
01:06:36,451 --> 01:06:38,203
What went before and

1377
01:06:39,204 --> 01:06:40,288
won't come back.

1378
01:06:42,749 --> 01:06:43,667
The pit.

1379
01:06:45,585 --> 01:06:46,878
Your mam. (sniffles)

1380
01:06:50,090 --> 01:06:51,550
We've still got our memories, Dad.

1381
01:06:51,717 --> 01:06:53,051
-Yeah.
-(Colin chuckles)

1382
01:06:53,719 --> 01:06:56,805
Right now, I'd settle for memory itself.

1383
01:07:00,726 --> 01:07:01,643
(sighs)

1384
01:07:04,396 --> 01:07:05,439
And the lavatory!

1385
01:07:06,523 --> 01:07:07,441
Giddy up!

1386
01:07:11,778 --> 01:07:13,613
-Get off.
-Dad!

1387
01:07:14,698 --> 01:07:16,199
Everybody kisses now.

1388
01:07:16,783 --> 01:07:18,243
Not round here, they don't.

1389
01:07:18,994 --> 01:07:20,245
It doesn't mean anything.

1390
01:07:21,538 --> 01:07:22,539
So why do it?

1391
01:07:23,707 --> 01:07:24,750
(scoffs)

1392
01:07:26,918 --> 01:07:27,878
Bye, Dad.

1393
01:07:29,588 --> 01:07:30,422
Son.

1394
01:07:31,757 --> 01:07:32,591
Yes?.

1395
01:07:33,633 --> 01:07:34,843
When you stopped

1396
01:07:35,969 --> 01:07:37,429
wandering the streets,

1397
01:07:38,972 --> 01:07:41,558
was it because you found
what you were looking for?

1398
01:07:42,142 --> 01:07:45,061
(groans) I... I don't know what you mean.

1399
01:07:45,437 --> 01:07:46,271
You do.

1400
01:07:47,314 --> 01:07:48,148
Wig fella.

1401
01:07:49,316 --> 01:07:50,275
The law man.

1402
01:07:50,650 --> 01:07:51,693
(soft music playing)

1403
01:07:52,277 --> 01:07:53,153
George.

1404
01:07:55,155 --> 01:07:56,656
So I forgot his name.

1405
01:08:01,912 --> 01:08:02,829
I don't know.

1406
01:08:15,592 --> 01:08:16,510
(tuts)

1407
01:08:17,761 --> 01:08:19,137
Still expecting your visitor?

1408
01:08:20,013 --> 01:08:22,474
Oh, er, well, he's not been.

1409
01:08:23,308 --> 01:08:24,309
That's good, though, isn't it?

1410
01:08:25,936 --> 01:08:26,978
The important thing

1411
01:08:27,145 --> 01:08:28,980
is always have something
to look forward to.

1412
01:08:29,523 --> 01:08:32,484
Oh, I would look forward
to slipping away like Mr Jessop,

1413
01:08:32,567 --> 01:08:34,528
or Mrs Maudsley,

1414
01:08:34,611 --> 01:08:36,613
but I fear I'm not
going to be so fortunate.

1415
01:08:37,155 --> 01:08:41,034
(sighs) Life has one in its jaws,

1416
01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:43,203
and it doesn't give one up
without a struggle.

1417
01:08:43,453 --> 01:08:46,248
They... They talk about the jaws of death.

1418
01:08:46,957 --> 01:08:48,792
It's not death that has jaws.

1419
01:08:49,751 --> 01:08:50,752
It's life.

1420
01:08:51,336 --> 01:08:53,129
(shudders, groans)

1421
01:08:54,756 --> 01:08:57,717
Now, here comes pain with its gull's beak.

1422
01:08:57,801 --> 01:08:58,844
(sighs)

1423
01:08:59,386 --> 01:09:01,555
(Gerald) I'll tell Dr Val
your dose needs adjusting.

1424
01:09:02,305 --> 01:09:03,348
(beeping)

1425
01:09:05,433 --> 01:09:07,102
(patient breathing laboriously)

1426
01:09:09,271 --> 01:09:10,105
Are you choking?

1427
01:09:11,481 --> 01:09:13,859
No, I'm bursting for a bloody bottle.

1428
01:09:15,443 --> 01:09:17,612
There's one there, but I can't reach it.

1429
01:09:17,821 --> 01:09:19,030
You've already gone in it.

1430
01:09:19,239 --> 01:09:21,074
I know. I need to go again.

1431
01:09:21,741 --> 01:09:23,243
Well, I might break the rules
and give it you,

1432
01:09:23,326 --> 01:09:24,578
but you have to ask me nicely.

1433
01:09:26,246 --> 01:09:27,581
Go on, say "please".

1434
01:09:27,706 --> 01:09:29,749
You little sod!

1435
01:09:29,833 --> 01:09:32,210
-I'm bloody bursting!
-Aw.

1436
01:09:32,627 --> 01:09:34,254
I hope I never live to be your age.

1437
01:09:34,588 --> 01:09:36,047
(coughing) Help.

1438
01:09:36,131 --> 01:09:36,965
(urinating)

1439
01:09:37,048 --> 01:09:37,883
Help.

1440
01:09:38,341 --> 01:09:39,175
Nurse!

1441
01:09:39,426 --> 01:09:40,343
What's all this?

1442
01:09:40,635 --> 01:09:42,721
I don't care for raised voices on my ward.

1443
01:09:42,804 --> 01:09:44,264
It means something's gone awry.

1444
01:09:47,851 --> 01:09:49,227
-He's pissed himself.
-Go.

1445
01:09:50,979 --> 01:09:52,355
It's always hard the first time.

1446
01:09:52,981 --> 01:09:54,107
And you were doing so well.

1447
01:09:55,483 --> 01:09:56,443
I sang out.

1448
01:09:57,611 --> 01:09:59,446
I did. I sang out.

1449
01:10:00,488 --> 01:10:02,115
But nobody would listen.

1450
01:10:03,283 --> 01:10:05,368
(Dr Valentine)  It was
when an elderly lady came in,

1451
01:10:05,535 --> 01:10:06,620
and she was afraid.

1452
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:08,371
So I said to her,

1453
01:10:08,580 --> 01:10:10,457
{\an8}  "Everything is going to be all right.

1454
01:10:11,374 --> 01:10:12,459
{\an8}  "You're in hospital,

1455
01:10:13,585 --> 01:10:14,878
{\an8}  "but you are in The Beth."

1456
01:10:16,046 --> 01:10:18,673
{\an8}  I gave birth to my son here.

1457
01:10:20,050 --> 01:10:22,135
{\an8}  I got put on the pill here.   (chuckles)

1458
01:10:23,011 --> 01:10:24,095
{\an8}(pensive music playing)

1459
01:10:25,597 --> 01:10:28,642
{\an8}  They brought me a cup of tea
when somebody died.

1460
01:10:32,187 --> 01:10:33,813
{\an8}  I think it was my husband.

1461
01:10:35,649 --> 01:10:38,109
{\an8}(Dr Valentine)  Our work
is other people's lives.

1462
01:10:39,611 --> 01:10:41,696
I don't quite know
what happens to our own.

1463
01:10:44,282 --> 01:10:45,116
What should I do with this?

1464
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:46,159
We eat on the run.

1465
01:10:46,409 --> 01:10:47,827
(Gilpin) Oh, there'll be a bin somewhere.

1466
01:10:47,911 --> 01:10:49,120
-It's a beauty spot.
-(chuckles)

1467
01:10:49,871 --> 01:10:50,705
(Gilpin sighs)

1468
01:10:51,206 --> 01:10:52,832
(Dr Valentine)  We're always tired.

1469
01:10:54,876 --> 01:10:56,670
Sometimes we are lonely.

1470
01:10:58,254 --> 01:11:00,090
-(lighter clicks)
-Come on. I'll race you.

1471
01:11:01,508 --> 01:11:02,342
(Gilpin laughing)

1472
01:11:05,011 --> 01:11:07,097
(Dr Valentine)  And sometimes, somehow,

1473
01:11:08,556 --> 01:11:09,474
we make friends.

1474
01:11:10,725 --> 01:11:11,935
(Gilpin) You never call me Alma.

1475
01:11:13,770 --> 01:11:15,730
Hey, why did you choose nursing?

1476
01:11:17,107 --> 01:11:17,983
Oh, I didn't.

1477
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:19,484
Oh, it chose you?

1478
01:11:19,818 --> 01:11:20,652
(scoffs)

1479
01:11:20,902 --> 01:11:22,445
It was my mother led me to it.

1480
01:11:23,405 --> 01:11:25,865
She ran a sideline
in caring for the elderly

1481
01:11:26,449 --> 01:11:28,576
in the days when the elderly
weren't farmed out.

1482
01:11:30,203 --> 01:11:32,497
There'd come a time
when somebody's daughter,

1483
01:11:32,580 --> 01:11:34,124
and it was always a daughter,

1484
01:11:34,666 --> 01:11:37,002
would sit in my mother's kitchen weeping,

1485
01:11:37,961 --> 01:11:41,589
saying, "And now I have
to do everything for them."

1486
01:11:42,507 --> 01:11:45,051
Whereupon my mother,
being of a practical bent,

1487
01:11:45,427 --> 01:11:46,511
would shoulder that burden

1488
01:11:46,594 --> 01:11:49,014
and pocket whatever cash
was offered in exchange.

1489
01:11:50,098 --> 01:11:51,641
Money was always persuasive

1490
01:11:52,308 --> 01:11:53,935
because there was no Mr Gilpin.

1491
01:11:56,104 --> 01:11:57,731
I became her assistant over time.

1492
01:11:58,690 --> 01:11:59,983
Washing and wiping.

1493
01:12:01,276 --> 01:12:02,235
Learning to say,

1494
01:12:02,902 --> 01:12:04,904
"Don't fret, love. It comes to us all."

1495
01:12:06,322 --> 01:12:07,824
And then it came to my mother.

1496
01:12:09,993 --> 01:12:10,827
How?

1497
01:12:11,786 --> 01:12:13,121
Long story.

1498
01:12:13,788 --> 01:12:14,706
How?

1499
01:12:14,789 --> 01:12:15,790
(melancholy music playing)

1500
01:12:18,752 --> 01:12:22,047
She were my first patient.
I kept her spotless.

1501
01:12:22,964 --> 01:12:25,550
I pretty much did Mother
instead of A-levels.

1502
01:12:26,301 --> 01:12:28,053
Maybe that is your speech, Sister.

1503
01:12:28,678 --> 01:12:30,680
How life taught you what you had to give.

1504
01:12:31,890 --> 01:12:34,017
Well, I'm not convinced
it did, as a matter of fact.

1505
01:12:36,019 --> 01:12:38,229
Many's the day I've wondered
what it's all been for.

1506
01:12:38,605 --> 01:12:40,523
You must know, in your soul.

1507
01:12:40,940 --> 01:12:43,193
Or you could not have stayed
so long, and served so well.

1508
01:12:44,944 --> 01:12:48,156
Maybe I just found something
other people couldn't do.

1509
01:12:49,115 --> 01:12:49,991
Or wouldn't.

1510
01:12:51,284 --> 01:12:52,285
I was good at it.

1511
01:12:53,411 --> 01:12:55,330
I even excelled at certain aspects.

1512
01:12:57,082 --> 01:12:58,416
It made me necessary.

1513
01:12:58,917 --> 01:12:59,751
To the patients?

1514
01:13:02,796 --> 01:13:03,671
To The Beth.

1515
01:13:04,464 --> 01:13:06,174
You know, I love The Beth.

1516
01:13:07,717 --> 01:13:09,886
Love complicates matters.

1517
01:13:10,970 --> 01:13:12,013
I see it all the time.

1518
01:13:13,306 --> 01:13:15,642
Middle-aged children
with tears in their eyes,

1519
01:13:16,351 --> 01:13:17,227
pleading.

1520
01:13:18,186 --> 01:13:20,480
"I love them. Oh, I love them. But..."

1521
01:13:22,398 --> 01:13:23,858
And I have to bite my tongue.

1522
01:13:25,193 --> 01:13:28,947
Because if they love them,
why do they put them away?

1523
01:13:30,740 --> 01:13:31,866
(melancholy music continues)

1524
01:13:45,046 --> 01:13:45,964
(music playing on headphones)

1525
01:13:46,172 --> 01:13:47,173
(sighs deeply)

1526
01:13:57,725 --> 01:13:58,643
Coat on.

1527
01:13:59,644 --> 01:14:00,687
Are you not stopping?

1528
01:14:01,813 --> 01:14:02,856
Just arrived.

1529
01:14:05,525 --> 01:14:06,359
What...

1530
01:14:06,484 --> 01:14:09,320
-What are you doing?
-Oh, just checking.

1531
01:14:10,321 --> 01:14:11,739
It was a one-off.

1532
01:14:14,659 --> 01:14:17,287
When it comes to incontinence,
there are no one-offs.

1533
01:14:17,704 --> 01:14:19,372
Only inaugural incidents.

1534
01:14:20,790 --> 01:14:24,085
You're on the list now.
And you know about lists.

1535
01:14:28,047 --> 01:14:29,340
(Gilpin sighs, chuckles)

1536
01:14:30,091 --> 01:14:32,218
-We've had the Infirmary on the phone.
-Oh.

1537
01:14:32,427 --> 01:14:33,887
Seven trolleys in the corridor.

1538
01:14:33,970 --> 01:14:36,264
Oh! I bet they're all falls.

1539
01:14:36,890 --> 01:14:38,224
There are a couple of hips.

1540
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,059
(sighs) No hips.

1541
01:14:40,685 --> 01:14:42,228
The minute we admit a fractured femur,

1542
01:14:42,312 --> 01:14:44,105
we kiss goodbye to that bed
for eight weeks.

1543
01:14:45,190 --> 01:14:47,233
-They were pleading.
-Right.

1544
01:14:48,359 --> 01:14:49,485
(mobile phone keys beeping)

1545
01:14:50,069 --> 01:14:51,237
(opera music playing)

1546
01:14:52,030 --> 01:14:52,864
Colin?

1547
01:14:55,867 --> 01:14:57,577
(man singing)  My dearest

1548
01:14:57,827 --> 01:15:02,624
We will leave Paris forever

1549
01:15:02,707 --> 01:15:03,541
(mobile vibrating)

1550
01:15:03,625 --> 01:15:07,420
Life will be happy

1551
01:15:07,629 --> 01:15:11,174
Me there beside you

1552
01:15:11,466 --> 01:15:14,969
Sadness will vanish

1553
01:15:15,386 --> 01:15:18,556
Now we're together

1554
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:19,474
(groans)

1555
01:15:19,557 --> 01:15:22,769
Our lives will prosper

1556
01:15:23,144 --> 01:15:25,104
All will be well

1557
01:15:25,188 --> 01:15:26,856
(Colin sighing) Jesus Christ.

1558
01:15:28,149 --> 01:15:29,025
(groans)

1559
01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:33,738
You better be dying.

1560
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:35,406
If I was dying, I...

1561
01:15:35,740 --> 01:15:37,200
I wouldn't be phoning you, would I?

1562
01:15:38,243 --> 01:15:40,662
Dad...   (sighs)  I'm at the opera.

1563
01:15:41,246 --> 01:15:42,914
When did you start liking opera?

1564
01:15:43,915 --> 01:15:44,749
I don't.

1565
01:15:45,917 --> 01:15:47,126
I'm with the Health Secretary.

1566
01:15:47,543 --> 01:15:48,711
And before you ask,

1567
01:15:49,128 --> 01:15:51,965
no, he doesn't like opera either.

1568
01:15:53,967 --> 01:15:56,219
-Dad...
-Colin, I'm on the list.

1569
01:15:56,511 --> 01:16:01,766
And lists make the difference
between life and the reverse.

1570
01:16:01,933 --> 01:16:02,767
What?

1571
01:16:03,309 --> 01:16:06,896
My bladder turned on me. And then she did.

1572
01:16:08,481 --> 01:16:09,399
Who did?

1573
01:16:10,024 --> 01:16:11,025
She might be listening.

1574
01:16:13,695 --> 01:16:16,990
She said she'd put me on the list.

1575
01:16:19,075 --> 01:16:21,953
But nobody's got my tally.

1576
01:16:22,620 --> 01:16:24,497
(sighs)  All right, Dad,
you're... you're not...

1577
01:16:25,957 --> 01:16:27,041
Look, I'll call you in the morning.

1578
01:16:27,208 --> 01:16:29,627
-(opera continues)
-I can hear a bit of it.

1579
01:16:30,420 --> 01:16:31,296
What, the opera?

1580
01:16:33,089 --> 01:16:34,007
You've, er...

1581
01:16:36,426 --> 01:16:38,511
You've gone far, Colin.

1582
01:16:42,432 --> 01:16:43,725
I'll come and see you soon, yeah?

1583
01:16:44,976 --> 01:16:45,893
Good night.

1584
01:16:46,728 --> 01:16:47,770
(opera continues)

1585
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:53,776
(mutters)

1586
01:16:54,736 --> 01:16:55,653
(microwave whirring)

1587
01:16:57,530 --> 01:16:58,614
(microwave beeping)

1588
01:17:09,959 --> 01:17:11,753
(Gilpin tuts, sighs)

1589
01:17:13,004 --> 01:17:14,505
Are you on the prowl again?

1590
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,051
I don't prowl, Joe. I patrol.

1591
01:17:19,052 --> 01:17:20,470
You ought to be in bed
at this hour, really,

1592
01:17:20,553 --> 01:17:21,637
not sitting up.

1593
01:17:22,347 --> 01:17:25,266
I have to sit up when I'm in bed.

1594
01:17:26,017 --> 01:17:28,978
I can't remember the last time
me chest let me lay down.

1595
01:17:30,146 --> 01:17:31,272
I brought you some hot milk,

1596
01:17:33,232 --> 01:17:34,233
if you fancy it.

1597
01:17:36,027 --> 01:17:37,153
Oh, and a bit of good news.

1598
01:17:37,236 --> 01:17:38,071
Oh, aye?

1599
01:17:39,238 --> 01:17:40,698
Your infection's cleared up.

1600
01:17:41,824 --> 01:17:42,742
You're getting better.

1601
01:17:44,035 --> 01:17:45,244
How's that good news?

1602
01:17:45,912 --> 01:17:47,622
You can go back to The Rowans
in the morning.

1603
01:17:48,498 --> 01:17:50,083
The Rowans is a dustbin.

1604
01:17:51,709 --> 01:17:53,169
Who gets my bed here then?

1605
01:17:54,921 --> 01:17:55,963
A sick person.

1606
01:17:56,714 --> 01:17:57,590
I'm sick.

1607
01:17:59,133 --> 01:17:59,967
I'm old.

1608
01:18:01,219 --> 01:18:03,346
But your infection's better, Joe.

1609
01:18:03,763 --> 01:18:05,306
You're one of my success stories.

1610
01:18:05,556 --> 01:18:06,391
(scoffs)

1611
01:18:08,059 --> 01:18:09,644
I can't tell you
how good it feels, you know,

1612
01:18:10,269 --> 01:18:11,896
to wave people off, thinking,

1613
01:18:12,772 --> 01:18:14,065
"That's it. They've gone.

1614
01:18:14,982 --> 01:18:16,776
And I have done my very best for them."

1615
01:18:17,568 --> 01:18:19,070
(Joe sobbing softly)

1616
01:18:19,570 --> 01:18:20,613
Oh, come on, now.

1617
01:18:27,829 --> 01:18:28,996
(Joe grunts, panting)

1618
01:18:37,296 --> 01:18:38,214
I liked it

1619
01:18:39,507 --> 01:18:40,633
when we danced.

1620
01:18:43,302 --> 01:18:44,178
So did I.

1621
01:18:46,389 --> 01:18:48,474
("For The Good Times"
by Perry Como playing)

1622
01:18:49,100 --> 01:18:51,936
Don't look so sad

1623
01:18:54,897 --> 01:18:57,608
I know it's over

1624
01:19:00,528 --> 01:19:02,405
But life goes on

1625
01:19:03,156 --> 01:19:05,032
And this old world

1626
01:19:06,075 --> 01:19:08,411
Will keep on turning

1627
01:19:09,996 --> 01:19:11,831
I'll miss you getting your medal.

1628
01:19:11,914 --> 01:19:14,208
-Don't say a word
-(Gilpin) Mm.

1629
01:19:14,292 --> 01:19:16,294
About tomorrow...

1630
01:19:16,878 --> 01:19:18,963
Oh, it's all something and nothing.

1631
01:19:19,839 --> 01:19:21,048
Just hoo-ha, really.

1632
01:19:21,799 --> 01:19:24,177
That said, I will be getting
a blow dry in the morning.

1633
01:19:26,345 --> 01:19:28,306
And I'll be back in The Rowans

1634
01:19:30,016 --> 01:19:31,809
staring at four walls.

1635
01:19:38,524 --> 01:19:39,775
You will be missed, Joe.

1636
01:19:41,611 --> 01:19:43,404
I miss people all the time.

1637
01:19:45,072 --> 01:19:46,240
You get over it.

1638
01:19:47,116 --> 01:19:50,495
I'll get along

1639
01:19:52,830 --> 01:19:55,750
You'll find another

1640
01:19:55,833 --> 01:19:56,667
(song fades)

1641
01:19:56,751 --> 01:19:58,169
Oh, your milk's cold now.

1642
01:20:00,713 --> 01:20:02,006
Would you take the lid off it?

1643
01:20:02,089 --> 01:20:04,467
I... I don't drink out of beakers.

1644
01:20:09,180 --> 01:20:10,056
(softly) Here you go.

1645
01:20:13,809 --> 01:20:15,770
I don't know whether I want it or...

1646
01:20:17,313 --> 01:20:18,147
or I don't.

1647
01:20:21,234 --> 01:20:22,109
Well...

1648
01:20:24,111 --> 01:20:25,238
It's there if you do.

1649
01:20:25,947 --> 01:20:26,864
(Joe) Hmm.

1650
01:20:28,866 --> 01:20:29,742
Good night.

1651
01:20:31,077 --> 01:20:31,953
God bless.

1652
01:20:33,204 --> 01:20:34,539
(footsteps receding)

1653
01:20:39,460 --> 01:20:42,046
(woman) Yeah, bit lower.
Just... Just there.

1654
01:20:42,129 --> 01:20:43,673
Yeah, that's right. That's good.

1655
01:20:43,798 --> 01:20:44,632
-That's it?
-Yeah.

1656
01:20:46,133 --> 01:20:47,760
And the other side.

1657
01:20:51,264 --> 01:20:52,723
And... And the same height.

1658
01:20:52,932 --> 01:20:54,559
They... They have to be the same height.

1659
01:20:55,142 --> 01:20:56,519
They're not the same height.

1660
01:20:58,604 --> 01:20:59,730
Will you sign my form?

1661
01:21:00,606 --> 01:21:01,857
You haven't done anything yet.

1662
01:21:03,025 --> 01:21:05,695
And I understand you've extra duties
lined up this morning,

1663
01:21:05,778 --> 01:21:06,737
at the do.

1664
01:21:07,363 --> 01:21:08,281
Will you please sign it?

1665
01:21:08,364 --> 01:21:10,491
I mean, Sister Gilpin
keeps ticking "poor".

1666
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:11,534
I'm better than poor.

1667
01:21:11,617 --> 01:21:12,743
She should be ticking "average".

1668
01:21:15,329 --> 01:21:16,706
(bell tolling)

1669
01:21:17,665 --> 01:21:20,751
(Colin)  You asked me
to cast my eye over The Beth.

1670
01:21:22,086 --> 01:21:22,920
I did.

1671
01:21:23,337 --> 01:21:25,923
And I saw things I didn't expect.

1672
01:21:28,843 --> 01:21:29,677
It's loved.

1673
01:21:32,263 --> 01:21:33,264
It's believed in.

1674
01:21:35,057 --> 01:21:35,975
And it does its best.

1675
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:38,769
And I know none of those things

1676
01:21:38,894 --> 01:21:39,854
fit into any of your policies,

1677
01:21:39,937 --> 01:21:42,106
or even my strategic advice.

1678
01:21:42,231 --> 01:21:44,191
Your strategic advice was to shut it down.

1679
01:21:44,275 --> 01:21:45,985
Yeah, I know it was. But...

1680
01:21:48,487 --> 01:21:49,614
It's not what people want.

1681
01:21:50,197 --> 01:21:53,534
Three days up North
and he's preaching democracy.

1682
01:21:53,868 --> 01:21:54,785
(laughter)

1683
01:21:55,411 --> 01:21:57,455
Yeah, I was up North
for a lot longer than three days.

1684
01:21:57,580 --> 01:21:58,664
You offered it up

1685
01:21:58,914 --> 01:22:00,750
as a guiding principle of management.

1686
01:22:00,833 --> 01:22:03,002
Success doesn't like small.

1687
01:22:03,336 --> 01:22:06,213
Small's expensive.
Small's a poor investment.

1688
01:22:06,756 --> 01:22:07,590
Small lacks scope.

1689
01:22:07,673 --> 01:22:10,843
Yeah, but nothing about the NHS is small.

1690
01:22:11,427 --> 01:22:12,970
-(sighs)
-Everything connects.

1691
01:22:13,054 --> 01:22:15,181
Every single bed links through to someone,

1692
01:22:15,389 --> 01:22:17,099
or something that's part of an entity

1693
01:22:17,266 --> 01:22:19,727
so much bigger,
we can scarcely comprehend it.

1694
01:22:19,810 --> 01:22:20,978
An entity which will soon be gone.

1695
01:22:21,103 --> 01:22:22,355
Yeah, yeah... But that doesn't mean

1696
01:22:22,438 --> 01:22:23,564
it was never any good!

1697
01:22:24,857 --> 01:22:29,111
The NHS was the biggest idea
this country has ever had.

1698
01:22:29,195 --> 01:22:31,447
And you will dismantle it at your peril,

1699
01:22:31,656 --> 01:22:34,116
because people will not forget.

1700
01:22:34,992 --> 01:22:37,078
-Where are you going?
-Oh, I'm going back to The Beth.

1701
01:22:38,537 --> 01:22:40,081
But in a private capacity.

1702
01:22:40,456 --> 01:22:41,290
(pen clicks)

1703
01:22:44,085 --> 01:22:45,044
(Indian pop music plays on mobile)

1704
01:22:45,127 --> 01:22:45,961
(laughing)

1705
01:22:50,049 --> 01:22:50,883
(Dr Valentine) Aw.

1706
01:22:51,634 --> 01:22:52,677
(music continues)

1707
01:22:54,095 --> 01:22:55,054
(Dr Valentine laughing)

1708
01:23:03,104 --> 01:23:04,271
-Oh, Mary.
-(music stops)

1709
01:23:04,355 --> 01:23:06,357
I was watching a video of my nieces.

1710
01:23:06,440 --> 01:23:07,274
Do you want to see it?

1711
01:23:07,608 --> 01:23:08,442
Presently, perhaps.

1712
01:23:08,526 --> 01:23:10,486
But first, I want to show you this.

1713
01:23:10,611 --> 01:23:12,488
Oh, no, you don't have to show me
what you've been filming.

1714
01:23:12,571 --> 01:23:13,948
You just give it to the filmmakers.

1715
01:23:14,365 --> 01:23:19,245
I fear they are not familiar
with the concept of marginalia.

1716
01:23:19,870 --> 01:23:22,748
The importance of things
recorded at the edges.

1717
01:23:26,836 --> 01:23:27,670
Morning.

1718
01:23:28,212 --> 01:23:29,422
(in sing-song voice)
Look what I've brought.

1719
01:23:34,218 --> 01:23:35,720
(eerie music playing)

1720
01:23:52,695 --> 01:23:53,571
(Gilpin)  All gone.

1721
01:23:54,655 --> 01:23:55,531
Lovely job.

1722
01:23:58,826 --> 01:24:00,369
(Joe)   Would you take the lid off it?

1723
01:24:00,453 --> 01:24:02,413
I... I don't drink out of beakers.

1724
01:24:06,667 --> 01:24:07,668
(Gilpin softly)  Here you go.

1725
01:24:15,050 --> 01:24:16,761
Have I acted appropriately?

1726
01:24:16,844 --> 01:24:18,053
-(door opens)
-Dr Valentine.

1727
01:24:19,180 --> 01:24:21,724
We're having trouble waking Joe Colman.

1728
01:24:22,683 --> 01:24:23,976
Yes, you have.

1729
01:25:00,846 --> 01:25:02,431
(sombre music playing)

1730
01:25:14,902 --> 01:25:16,403
What do you mean, he died in his sleep?

1731
01:25:17,655 --> 01:25:18,864
(Dr Valentine)  Mr Colman,
when you get to us...

1732
01:25:18,948 --> 01:25:20,533
No. All right. Listen to me.

1733
01:25:22,159 --> 01:25:24,411
You leave my father
exactly where he is. Okay?

1734
01:25:24,495 --> 01:25:26,038
I... I... I don't want him touched,

1735
01:25:26,121 --> 01:25:27,957
and I don't want him moved.

1736
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:29,792
I was... I was already on my way!

1737
01:25:30,501 --> 01:25:31,836
Mr Colman, when you get to us...

1738
01:25:31,961 --> 01:25:33,796
When I get to you, I've got questions!

1739
01:25:33,879 --> 01:25:35,548
And I... I want them answered!

1740
01:25:40,469 --> 01:25:42,763
(Gilpin) Ah! I finished
my speech at the salon

1741
01:25:42,888 --> 01:25:43,931
as the rollers were coming out.

1742
01:25:45,432 --> 01:25:47,560
I suddenly knew exactly what to say.

1743
01:26:08,038 --> 01:26:09,331
Greeting the Mayor, hmm?

1744
01:26:09,456 --> 01:26:10,833
("Congratulations" playing)

1745
01:26:13,043 --> 01:26:14,253
(indistinct conversation)

1746
01:26:16,380 --> 01:26:17,506
(music continues muffled)

1747
01:26:17,590 --> 01:26:18,632
(Gilpin on video)  All gone.

1748
01:26:19,383 --> 01:26:20,342
Lovely job.

1749
01:26:26,557 --> 01:26:28,017
It's a geriatric ward.

1750
01:26:29,226 --> 01:26:30,811
Death is in the scheme of things.

1751
01:26:32,354 --> 01:26:34,565
Beakers of milk and morphine

1752
01:26:34,648 --> 01:26:35,983
aren't in the scheme of things.

1753
01:26:36,567 --> 01:26:39,069
Joe Colman drank his of his own accord.

1754
01:26:40,154 --> 01:26:42,573
Mrs Maudsley couldn't do
anything of her own accord.

1755
01:26:43,032 --> 01:26:43,949
Well...

1756
01:26:45,492 --> 01:26:47,745
I always helped them
if they were that far gone.

1757
01:26:49,788 --> 01:26:50,664
Always?

1758
01:27:11,894 --> 01:27:12,978
How many were there, Alma?

1759
01:27:14,980 --> 01:27:16,315
(suspenseful music playing)

1760
01:27:20,945 --> 01:27:21,987
How many, Alma?

1761
01:27:25,950 --> 01:27:27,368
(Gilpin)  I had targets to meet.

1762
01:27:30,079 --> 01:27:31,163
Beds to find.

1763
01:27:33,415 --> 01:27:34,708
Folk to make grateful.

1764
01:27:36,418 --> 01:27:38,379
If you could have seen even one of them,

1765
01:27:38,879 --> 01:27:39,838
just one of them.

1766
01:27:41,131 --> 01:27:42,549
The way they relaxed.

1767
01:27:43,509 --> 01:27:45,386
The way their faces softened.

1768
01:27:46,387 --> 01:27:48,305
All the pain and confusion gone.

1769
01:27:50,432 --> 01:27:51,558
In a single moment,

1770
01:27:52,434 --> 01:27:55,646
I'd accomplished something
no administrator ever could,

1771
01:27:55,729 --> 01:27:56,981
and no doctor either.

1772
01:27:58,440 --> 01:27:59,358
Not even you.

1773
01:28:01,694 --> 01:28:04,405
The Beth had fulfilled
its obligation to the system,

1774
01:28:06,115 --> 01:28:08,075
and I had ended someone's suffering.

1775
01:28:10,577 --> 01:28:12,621
I used to think
you were so good with them.

1776
01:28:13,831 --> 01:28:14,915
I was good.

1777
01:28:16,291 --> 01:28:17,459
But you were lovely.

1778
01:28:21,505 --> 01:28:24,299
Lights, camera, action.
The Mayor's taken her seat.

1779
01:28:38,647 --> 01:28:42,109
The Bywater Medal was established in 1930.

1780
01:28:42,985 --> 01:28:43,986
I like to think

1781
01:28:44,403 --> 01:28:47,031
that the first nurses who won it, and I,

1782
01:28:47,364 --> 01:28:48,615
have something in common.

1783
01:28:49,575 --> 01:28:52,411
Just as we have with Florence Nightingale,

1784
01:28:52,494 --> 01:28:54,038
who founded our profession.

1785
01:28:54,955 --> 01:28:57,124
You'd take one look at all of us

1786
01:28:57,708 --> 01:28:59,460
and think we were old-fashioned.

1787
01:28:59,752 --> 01:29:00,627
(all laugh)

1788
01:29:02,129 --> 01:29:04,298
We do the things
that have had to be done,

1789
01:29:04,882 --> 01:29:06,508
since time immemorial.

1790
01:29:07,926 --> 01:29:09,428
Since the world was young.

1791
01:29:11,055 --> 01:29:12,639
I have done what they did.

1792
01:29:13,932 --> 01:29:15,768
I have sought to be efficient.

1793
01:29:17,227 --> 01:29:18,562
I tended the sick.

1794
01:29:19,938 --> 01:29:21,732
I consoled the afflicted.

1795
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,070
I comforted the dying.

1796
01:29:28,655 --> 01:29:30,074
I have cared.

1797
01:29:37,831 --> 01:29:38,957
(indistinct conversation)

1798
01:29:41,335 --> 01:29:42,461
Oh, Lady Mayoress...

1799
01:29:50,135 --> 01:29:51,178
(cheerful piano music playing)

1800
01:29:56,100 --> 01:29:59,061
(singing)  Forget your troubles
Come on, get happy

1801
01:29:59,436 --> 01:30:02,022
We're gonna chase
all your cares away

1802
01:30:02,523 --> 01:30:05,484
Sing allelujah
Come on, get happy

1803
01:30:05,776 --> 01:30:08,529
Get ready
for the Judgement Day

1804
01:30:09,488 --> 01:30:10,531
(singing continues)

1805
01:30:15,244 --> 01:30:18,497
It's all so peaceful

1806
01:30:18,747 --> 01:30:20,999
On the other side

1807
01:30:21,208 --> 01:30:23,877
Forget your troubles
Come on, get happy

1808
01:30:24,461 --> 01:30:26,713
We're gonna chase
all your cares away

1809
01:30:27,256 --> 01:30:30,259
Sing allelujah
Come on, get happy

1810
01:30:30,342 --> 01:30:33,053
Get ready for the Judgement Day

1811
01:30:33,137 --> 01:30:34,763
Get ready

1812
01:30:34,888 --> 01:30:36,181
Get ready

1813
01:30:36,265 --> 01:30:38,600
Get ready

1814
01:30:38,684 --> 01:30:41,937
For the Judgement Day

1815
01:30:42,062 --> 01:30:43,313
-(music ends)
-Allelujah!

1816
01:30:43,397 --> 01:30:44,565
(applause)

1817
01:30:49,403 --> 01:30:50,612
(sombre music playing)

1818
01:31:39,411 --> 01:31:40,537
-(sobbing)
-(George) It's all right.

1819
01:31:41,955 --> 01:31:42,831
It's all right.

1820
01:31:57,804 --> 01:31:58,889
(Colin) He was meant to be getting better.

1821
01:31:59,848 --> 01:32:00,766
But he was terrified.

1822
01:32:00,849 --> 01:32:03,018
I wanna know who was he terrified of,

1823
01:32:03,101 --> 01:32:03,977
and why?

1824
01:32:06,230 --> 01:32:07,564
(Chairman breathes shakily)

1825
01:32:08,232 --> 01:32:10,192
(Chairman) We find ourselves
obliged to, er,

1826
01:32:11,610 --> 01:32:12,569
apprise you of

1827
01:32:14,363 --> 01:32:15,405
some developments.

1828
01:32:15,948 --> 01:32:17,366
(sombre music playing)

1829
01:32:17,908 --> 01:32:18,951
(police radio chatter)

1830
01:32:20,077 --> 01:32:21,036
(Gilpin sighs)

1831
01:32:26,166 --> 01:32:27,042
In the back, please.

1832
01:32:28,460 --> 01:32:30,462
(Dr Valentine)  Mary's film
was shown in court.

1833
01:32:31,838 --> 01:32:33,757
Sister Gilpin was jailed for life.

1834
01:32:36,260 --> 01:32:37,386
The Beth closed down.

1835
01:32:43,392 --> 01:32:44,309
(car engine starting)

1836
01:32:44,643 --> 01:32:46,228
Our patients were dispersed.

1837
01:32:47,938 --> 01:32:49,982
And I went to work at another hospital.

1838
01:32:51,733 --> 01:32:52,651
(alarm beeping)

1839
01:32:55,487 --> 01:32:56,446
(phone ringing)

1840
01:32:56,530 --> 01:32:58,115
The Beth did not die.

1841
01:32:59,324 --> 01:33:01,743
It was always just a bricks and mortar box

1842
01:33:01,868 --> 01:33:03,078
for the things that mattered.

1843
01:33:03,161 --> 01:33:04,538
(nurse) I can take a look, thank you.

1844
01:33:04,621 --> 01:33:05,580
(Dr Valentine)  And they matter still.

1845
01:33:06,415 --> 01:33:09,668
They pulse on through the system
like blood.

1846
01:33:11,420 --> 01:33:14,464
Care without question,
cost without counting.

1847
01:33:14,965 --> 01:33:17,718
Belief in beds
without boundaries or limits,

1848
01:33:17,843 --> 01:33:19,177
in spite of pandemics.

1849
01:33:21,138 --> 01:33:23,056
I will always love the old.

1850
01:33:24,141 --> 01:33:27,686
I will love them for as long
as they are here to be loved,

1851
01:33:27,769 --> 01:33:30,314
to be nursed, to be encouraged.

1852
01:33:31,982 --> 01:33:33,317
The virus, meanwhile,

1853
01:33:34,359 --> 01:33:35,444
shows no mercy.

1854
01:33:36,945 --> 01:33:38,405
-Ambrose?
-(gasping)

1855
01:33:38,488 --> 01:33:39,698
Do you remember me?

1856
01:33:39,781 --> 01:33:40,699
No air.

1857
01:33:41,283 --> 01:33:42,242
(machine beeping)

1858
01:33:42,326 --> 01:33:44,703
I know, my friend.
We are gonna help with that.

1859
01:33:44,786 --> 01:33:45,954
(gasping)

1860
01:33:49,207 --> 01:33:53,086
Not generally named.

1861
01:33:53,795 --> 01:33:55,213
Who is not generally named?

1862
01:33:58,175 --> 01:34:00,135
Last visitor.

1863
01:34:02,137 --> 01:34:03,847
(Dr Valentine laughing)

1864
01:34:07,559 --> 01:34:09,561
-(shudders)
-(Ambrose continues gasping)

1865
01:34:11,980 --> 01:34:13,523
(sombre music playing)

1866
01:34:13,607 --> 01:34:14,733
(gasps heavily)

1867
01:34:15,609 --> 01:34:16,610
(groaning)

1868
01:34:19,071 --> 01:34:20,280
(exhales deeply)

1869
01:34:22,074 --> 01:34:24,368
(heartbeat flatlining)

1870
01:34:26,661 --> 01:34:27,704
(sombre music continues)

1871
01:34:33,210 --> 01:34:35,504
(Dr Valentine)  We can
make unforgivable mistakes.

1872
01:34:37,464 --> 01:34:38,965
Yes, we are stretched.

1873
01:34:39,049 --> 01:34:40,467
Yes, we stumble.

1874
01:34:40,550 --> 01:34:42,594
Yes, our reach exceeds our grasp.

1875
01:34:43,470 --> 01:34:45,889
But please don't make the perfect
the enemy of the good.

1876
01:34:48,308 --> 01:34:50,310
Don't dismiss us for what we cannot do.

1877
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:52,562
Don't tear us down

1878
01:34:52,646 --> 01:34:55,982
and use our rubble
to rebuild your other empires.

1879
01:34:56,066 --> 01:34:57,776
Profit will not profit you.

1880
01:34:59,986 --> 01:35:01,029
(woman sniffling)

1881
01:35:03,156 --> 01:35:05,826
We may buckle, but we do not waver.

1882
01:35:06,576 --> 01:35:08,620
We are tested, but we do not flinch.

1883
01:35:09,287 --> 01:35:10,956
We are here when night falls,

1884
01:35:11,039 --> 01:35:13,417
here when darkness eases into dawn.

1885
01:35:13,500 --> 01:35:15,168
We are here for your first cry,

1886
01:35:15,252 --> 01:35:16,378
for your last breath,

1887
01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:18,255
when you are broken, when you bleed,

1888
01:35:18,338 --> 01:35:20,465
when others recoil or reject you.

1889
01:35:20,549 --> 01:35:22,259
We will be here when you're old.

1890
01:35:22,884 --> 01:35:24,010
And we would die for you.

1891
01:35:28,682 --> 01:35:29,808
We are love itself.

1892
01:35:30,642 --> 01:35:33,061
And for love, there is no charge.

1893
01:35:45,657 --> 01:35:48,869
(pleasant music playing)
