♪ Mature Jennifer: In the July of 1969, the world was looking upward far beyond the small round of mankind.

Our planet felt tiny, but our dreams were gigantic.

The universe was whirling and yet was in our grasp.

We were voyagers, adventurers.

We had started something new.

The power was ours.

The potential was ours.

We were all astronauts, one way or another.

Pupil midwives, I'm glad you all remembered to hand in your casebooks for your mid-course review.

You will each be spoken to later about any areas of concern.

For now, let's concentrate on this morning's work.

I shall be back shortly with your orders.

♪ Fred: Look at the driver in the eyes to ensure that he acknowledges my authority.

Then I issue a reminder by raising my hand-- stop means stop.

Never mind stop means stop, Fred Buckle.

You're still convalescing from tetanus.

Arthur's not very experienced, so-- He seems perfectly capable to me.

Home, in your armchair, now.

[Sighs] What are your thoughts on Nurse Morris?

Norelle's doing well and is bright and personable but a terrible timekeeper and not tidiest.

Is that tea?

No.

It's coffee, which suggests she might be sitting up late to study.

Joyce Highland and Rosalind Clifford are doing particularly well.

Rosalind needs to work on her self-confidence, though.

She works hard, does the lass, but she's too easily flustered.

Julienne: Nurse Highland's case book is most impressive, very detailed and precise.

Shelagh: Joyce is clever and technically skilled, and she's starting to enjoy the District work, but she's still too focused on hospital births.

Any sign is something going amiss at home, and she wants her transferred to the hospital.

She needs another home birth to show her what the District is really about.

I could assign her to Prue Stanton.

She likes to do things her own way and won't go near a hospital.

You want someone for her to learn from, don't you?

[Chuckles] ♪ Trixie: Good to see you, Mrs. Stanton.

Oh, I didn't know anyone was coming round today.

You missed your last two appointments, and at this stage in your pregnancy, if you don't come to us, we have to come to you.
