61:04
You sound like your mum.
61:06
Ugh.
61:06
I don't know what she's up to, trying to talk you out of it, but she's right, George.
61:11
You'd be miserable stuck in a car showroom working for my parents, and I don't wanna be tied to them like that.
61:23
How?
61:23
I don't know how, George, but you have to just do it.
61:27
Explain to her that you were wrong and you're sorry, and, you know, we're just trying to bring in some money for the baby.
61:34
She can't sack you when you're just about to have a baby, can she? She wouldn't.
30:12
But Grandpa can cover me, so it's fine.
30:14
Not for me, not with sick pay on top.
30:17
Uh, but that's my problem, not yours.
30:19
Don't worry.
30:20
Now, give me a minute, and I'll see if I've got enough cash.
30:22
Otherwise, I'll pop to the bank tomorrow.

17 MINS LATER

47:39
Yeah, but you're the one carrying the baby, so I should be out there getting things ready financially.
47:46
You've got an injury.
39:44
[laughs]
39:48
Cheers, Natasha.
39:49
Thanks for letting me jump the queue, Lily.
39:51
I'm expecting a call.
39:52
Oh, no worries, Anna.
39:53
Oh, Natasha's lemonade looks amazing.
39:55
Well, she's gone to fetch another jug.
NatashaUNKNOWN
40:13
Let me help.
69:53
Make it quick.
69:55
[phone notification] Oh, it's George.
70:03
He's found her.
70:04
Everything's fine.
70:58
Amber, I-
70:58
How could you tell anyone? Anyone, let alone Kira.
71:04
If George finds out, what the hell am I meant to do now? [upbeat music]
64:29
Well, that's not surprising, is it? She's about 150.
64:32
Blimey.
64:33
I think her daughter's really worried about her.
64:37
She doesn't live nearby, so it gets tricky sometimes to know what's best.
64:41
I'm grateful my parents always seemed to be so robustly healthy.
64:46
Oh, no, our baby's gonna have two ancient parents to look after.

6 MINS LATER

71:15
He always does.
71:22
Oh, hey, Amber.
62:14
Oh.
62:14
If we're going to convince David to let us run the Borchester Show social media strategy, then we need to offer him refreshments that shout modern countryside.
62:22
[sighs] Maybe the village shop was a mistake.
62:25
We should've gone to Underwood's Local instead.
65:14
Am I?
65:14
Which is kind of at the heart of our social media strategy.
65:17
It's not about pretending the Borchester Show is anything other than what it is.
65:21
It's about getting Gen Z, who wouldn't normally consider going to an agricultural show, to see why it slaps.

15:40
You on your way to work?
15:42
Not work, no. Um, but George and me, well, uh, we've got an appointment in Felpersham this morning, and that's why I'm here.
15:50
We were hoping you might be free to come with us.
Emma GrundyPANELIST
17:04
What's that?
17:05
Alcohol abstinence monitoring requisition or r- requirement or something.
17:09
It, it's basically a tag that alerts them if you start drinking.
34:05
Yeah, of course.
34:09
It's funny, I was so worried about not having any symptoms before the scan.
34:13
Now I'm like textbook 13 weeks.
34:16
All morning at work I was daydreaming about having a nap.

33 MINS LATER

67:18
Right.
67:18
She was pretty nice to me.
67:20
She remembers feeling like I do, how it's all kind of relentless, every week some new thing, and the weeks carry on adding up whether you're ready for them to or not.
45:19
And that happens, are you sure?
45:20
Yes, I'm sure.
45:22
I've read loads of threads about it.
45:24
Women turn up to their scan, all happy and excited, and then they tell them there's no heartbeat.
45:31
Their baby's dead.
46:00
Why didn't you tell me you'd been feeling like this?
46:03
I thought that if I pretended everything was all right, then I might trick myself into believing it.
46:09
I didn't want to say it out loud, but I'm scared, George.
1:59
Why was the wind phone a good fit for you, Amber?
2:04
We have lots of conversations here at the neighborhood house.
2:07
We, um, have a chatty cafe table, um, that's an international movement as well, where l- uh, quite often the conversation comes, um, to death and dying.
2:18
We also have a really active U3A community here, which are early retirees who are still wanting to learn and, and grow in their life.
2:26
So the conversation quite often when you're talking about health, when you're talking about, um, future plans and changing life, life changing for you, quite often that's something that comes up.
2:40
So it seemed like a really good way to, to open the conversation, and it is gonna be based around a, a few other programs that we have coming at the neighborhood house as well.

7 MINS LATER

10:03
[laughs]
10:04
I'm sitting, I'm sitting on the, I'm sitting on a wind phone right now.
23:26
Well, I told you take no notice of them.
23:28
I know, and you need to do the same.
23:31
We're gonna have our child to think about soon.
23:33
If we're gonna give our baby everything we want to, we need to just let it all go.

16 MINS LATER

39:14
What are you on about? I am trying.
39:15
Then stop with the paranoia.
39:18
I need you to be strong, like you were with my parents last week.
39:23
I could never have told them how I really felt if you hadn't been with me, knowing they hate what I'm doing.
33:31
Oh, don't you worry.
33:32
Well, it's how I am now, 'cause, well, 'cause you see I'm pregnant.
33:37
[laughs] I'm having our baby.

27 MINS LATER

60:35
Oh, that's what I want.
60:36
You'll get it, George.
60:38
I know you will.
60:40
Right.
60:41
How do I look?
41:37
Look, we really do need to wash your color off 'cause-
41:39
I know.
41:39
It's just that I need to explain that, that it felt really right, and then suddenly it didn't.
41:44
Partly 'cause George was just being so awful to everyone.
41:48
I, I, I mean, I literally forgot that we did it, [laughs] you know? It, it was such a shock seeing that, that blue line, like, the very first time we try.
41:57
[laughs] That sounds stupid.
46:31
And you told Brad, didn't you?
46:32
Yeah, but it's, it's different with Brad.
26:34
Mm.
26:34
There's literally no air in that ward.
26:36
I'm just praying that these earplugs will help him sleep.
26:39
He'd be so much better off at home.
27:00
I don't understand teenage girls at the best of times.
27:02
Well, she said she won't run away again, and I made her promise to talk to me if something's bothering her.
27:07
She did seem to listen.
