How was the emergency call-out?

Oh, it was quite sad, actually.

An elderly man in a flat just outside Felpersham.

His boiler's on its last legs.

I, I just never considered it might be something Bridge Farm could do.

Well, no, you're so busy, all of you, but when you think about it, Bridge Farm has just the right ethos.

We could offer something for local people who are struggling, time and space to work on the land, a sort of safe haven to give them a sense of purpose.

It could really benefit the local community.

Yeah.

Before we ever see our kidneys failing, before we ever have to do that cardio stress test.

So what we've done with PDRN is the polynucleotide, and it just increases the growth of your collagen and elastin.

So whenever you start seeing that dullness, those fine lines starting to come into place, wanting to get some more plumpness, just doing skin treatments can make such a big difference.

Mm-hmm.

And what we've come to realize is sometimes, especially in movable areas, especially with you likes, you're smiling all the time, you're really cute and cheeky.

We've got two muscle groups sliding over each other, so sometimes that filler that was placed deep in the right area, over time can kind of come up to the surface because those muscle groups are constantly moving.

She too was a teenager in 1986.

If I was just visiting a friend where I lived, my mom would take me and drop me off 'cause I was frightened.

Nobody knew who this person was at the time, and it was quite a frightening place.

We'd, we'd obviously been children, you know, when the Yorkshire Ripper, um, murders were going on, and it did bring back echoes of, of what had happened over in Yorkshire, uh, which had scared us again.

So I do think that, um, it definitely impacted the way that we sort of went about and about.

See you later.

Oh, y- yes, okay.

I hope it goes well.

[sighs] Oh, Dad.

Hi, Kirsty, it's just me.

I don't know if you got my text, but it would be really nice to catch up.

And in the '80s, Birkenhead, for locals like Helen, was a boss night out.

Lots of pubs and, um, clubs, and from memory, the Pleasure Dome had just opened around that time as well.

So it, you know, the nightlife was good.

It was...

I always felt very safe to go there, and I did go out a lot at the weekends with my friends.

Completely, you know, uh, carefree really.

I wouldn't even say that was an alley.

It used to go to a DIY store that closed down.

It's a half sister.

[sighs] [crying] A half sister? [crying] Oh, God.

Oh, God.

A half sister.

I can't believe that.

Does she know about me?

But back in the late '80s and early '90s, they were roughly twice as high, and teenage pregnancy was a major political flashpoint.

Civilized society doesn't just happen.

[upbeat music]

...

And I think that was the worst of it, this feeling of not understanding what was happening, and not understanding why it was happening.

Just this kind of awful quiet of, "No one's coming to help me." [gentle music]

[gentle music] I was born in June of 1988.

My sister was six and a half, and my parents had been living in northern Illinois for a couple years.

My parents met at college.
