    Deleted Scenes:

    Right after Trixie says she's not sure Nurse Crane will see it that way, Sister Veronica comes in and Sr. Julienne asks if she wants tea.  She says no, just hot water with a snifter of lemon, good for the vocal cords.  She says a must since she will be leading the summer singing school culminating in a performance at St. Oswald's.  Sr. Julienne says what a wonderful way to end the summer holidays. Rosalind spills coffee on her sleeve and leaves the table.  Nancy says she must be nervous about the exams.  Trixie adds that failing is a terrible setback for any student midwife and Sr. Julienne says some of them never recover and that they must hope they all pass.

    Right after the scene at the Bell's, we go to the Turners where Shelagh is telling May that she must stay home from school until she is fully recovered, she then calls for Angela.

    After the scene with Gladys, we go to Matthew and Trixie's flat. He has just gotten off the phone when Trixie comes in.  She asks him what he thinks of her outfit as she must look stylish when they pick up the car. She says she is going for Lorna in "The Italian Job." She asks who he was talking to.  He says his mother wants him to attend a special meeting of the Aylward Estates Board. Trixie says it sounds urgent and asks what is it about.  He says he doesn't know.  She says hopefully he can come meet her at the car dealership later as she wants him to be her first passenger; she then goes to change for work.

    Right after the scene of Gladys in hospital, they cut out Joyce saying each list is like a Who's Who of Poplar.  Nancy says that each division of Raise The Roof is making lists of prominent people and businesses to canvass for support for better pay for nurses. She says she forgot Buckle's and that she'll speak to Violet tomorrow morning.

    Phyllis enters and tells Nancy tomorrow morning she will be focused on her district round.  She says she has agreed to cover for her next week, but that she hopes not to cover any more.

    Right after the scene with Deirdre, we go to Sr.Veronica who is singing while Sr. Monica Joan holds up the lyrics on a poster board. Sr. Veronica says the children are finding "Give Me Oil in My Lamp" challenging so she will be holding the lyrics up during the performance and that she hopes she's got them right. She starts singing again and Nancy tells her she missed a hosanna; Sr. Veronica says she will have to start over. Sr. Monica Joan puts down the placard and says she will do no such thing as she is at a critical juncture in Frankenstein and has no time for this harebrained scheme.

    Right after the scene with Deirdre, we go to Gladys and Dr. Turner. She asks why does it say industrial. He tells her because it's work-related and she says she worked with people, not asbestos and that he knows that.  He says that she may have come into contact without knowing and that's the sort of thing this study is trying to investigate.

    The next scene is Sr. Veronica gamely trying to teach the children the song; she has the lyrics but it isn't going well.

    Right after Rosalind says that's the response she was hoping for, we go to Nancy who has her arms full of Raise the Roof materials and asks Phyllis to help her. Phyllis grabs some of it; Nancy says it's for the campaign.  Phyllis says it all seems gimmicky and she doesn't see the point. Nancy says it's about solidarity and being part of the team and being there for each other no matter what. She tells her not to wrinkle her nose because   she agrees with her else why would she be covering for her and helping Rosalind with her  Canadian Royal Air Force exercises.

    In the scene right before Sr. Veronica introduces Cecil, she tells the people that there are structured activities like singing and games, but the most important thing is to have  fun.

    In the scene at the Turners', they cut a bit at the beginning where Teddy asks Shelagh wh she's made him a dress.  Shelagh tells him it's a changing cape and Patrick tells him it will come in handy when they go to the mayor's excursion and also a week in Devon.  May and Angela have their own capes, and May asks if they can keep them on.  Shelagh says they don't have any arms as they are for changing under, not playing in.

    In the scene at Nonnatus House, they cut a bit at the beginning where Sr. Julienne says a  picnic buffet supper, how wonderful and Rosalind  says they brought back leftovers for those who couldn't come. Nancy adds with her mouth full, and half the beach.

    Phyllis comes in and Sr. Veronica asks if they made it back in time.  She says by the skin of their teeth, mother and baby girl both doing well.  She then takes some food and says she's going into the bathroom to develop some pictures.  Nancy objects because she wanted a bath as she has has sand in places she didn't know existed. Phyllis says she needs to get the pictures developed as soon as possible, but that it shouldn't take too long.

    Right after Patrick meets Shelagh at the hospital,we switch to Phyllis in Lindy's room. She tells her that bathing baby's eyes in sterilized water will help keep them clean of infection.  Lindy asks Phyllis to do it for her, as she doesn't want to hurt the baby. Phyllis tells her she won't, and gentle strokes with the pad from the inside of the eye outward.  Sr. Veronica comes in and asks Lindy how she is doing.  She's brought provisions for the baby.  She tells Phyllis that she has brought information about financial support and that they need to get them filled out as soon as possible.  Phyllis  tells her to speak to Lindy as she is right in front of her.

Colette asks Nancy what's the matter and she tells her that May is poorly, but that she's being looked after in hospital by very clever doctors.

    Phyllis returns and says the phone call was from Violet Buckle and that the Gazette is doing a story on the outing and want to use one of her pictures so she goes to choose one.  We head back to the Turners where Angela is saying she misses May. Shelagh says they all do, and Angela pleads to visit May.  Timothy tells her they are very strict about children visiting.  Teddy says there's a biscuit left and Angela says it's May's.

    Right after the scene where Phyllis is looking through pictures, we switch to the Buckle shop where Violet says they will need two next year.  Fred asks two what and she says coaches.  She says that so many people are asking if the beach trip is returning and that news is spreading fast.   Fred says that's smashing but that he wants to get his breath back before they start planning the next one; they kiss.

    Right after the scene in Lindy's hospital room, we go over to Nonnatus House where Sr.Julienne tells Sr. Veronica that she is praying for poor little Danielle and her sister. Sr. Veronica says they could barely manage as parents to begin with and that they certainly won't be able to cope with two poorly children. She says the welfare office must be informed and that she is heading to the hospital as her support may be needed.

    In the vaccination prep scene, at the end, a young Asian man asks Sr. Veronica if it will hurt.  She says about as much as a beesting and asks if he's ever had one. He says yes and she jabs him; he winces in pain.

    After the scene at the Chdozie home, we switch to the Buckle home where Fred and Violet are having their tea. Fred looks askance and asks if it's chicken and marmalade. Violet says it is poulet a l'orange and that they need to widen their culinary palates since they don't know what they might be served at official dinners.  He says they're in Poplar, not Paris.  She then corrects him when he picks up a fish knive to cut his chicken with and tells him she doesn't want them to be caught out.  He asks if he can go to Nonnatus House tomorrow night to see the Apollo 11 launch.  She tells him he doesn't need to ask permission and that if he thinks she's keeping tabs on him, it's because she cares.  He then takes another bite of his chicken and says brightly that it isn't too bad  but that it would go better if it had chips.  Violet looks a bit exasperated.

    We switch back to the Chdozie home after the scene of Nancy and Phyllis.  Dr. Turner is there and Ngozie asks why Felix can't stay in the hospital; Patrick tells her because he needs an isolation ward.  He says they are trying to find him a bed and also the children  Felix asks they take care of the children first.  Patrick says they are going to find beds for all of them.  Esther comes to Felix's bedside and Patrick offers her his stethoscope so she can hear her daddy's heartbeat.  Felix notices his feeling Esther's forehead and says he thinks she is a little feverish.  Patrick says they will make her better.

    After Matthew tells Trixie he's always happy for fish and chips instead of her cooking, she says they need the time to pick out a new sofa.  Matthew points out the Barbican apartment they are moving to won't be ready for months yet and she says good sofas can take as long as flats to build.  He asks if this is going to require looking at brochures, she says no, only one magazine and that she has left in the parlor but she is going to get it.

    After Matthew speaks to violet, the scene switches to Gillian who has come to the maternity home with her husband and several changes of clothes.  He asks about clothes hangers and Nancy tells them that she doesn't need them as she will only be there for the morning. Gillian says a woman should always think about her appearance,  She compliments Nancy on her lovely skin and says that smoky blue eyeshadow will bring out her eyes.

    After Trixie attends to Fred, we switch back to the maternity home where the pupil midwives watch as Shelagh tries to turn Gillian's baby; it keeps turning back on her.Dr Turner apologizes as she will have bruising tomorrow.

    Violet asks Matthew if he is still interested in being a councilor.  He says that he is too busy with his father's estate.  She says she hopes he changes his mind as she believes he can do a lot of good.

    Joyce and Rosalind are at the allotment; they're both wearning sunglasses; Rosalind has a book, and Joyce is smoking.  Rosalind says that the classes are so old-fashioned and Joyce she wuuld like to teach one on postnatal exercises.  Rosalind says she would like to do a class for the poorer mother. Nancy arrives with the smoky blue eyeshadow and asks for their honest opinion.  Joyce says she looks like she walked into a door, but Rosalind says there's nothing wrong with defying convention and that Princess Anne does it all the time with her hats.  Nancy says she's going to take the shadow off right now.

    In the scene when Nurse Crane is teaching, after profoundly she adds intimate experience.  Joyce observes that more mothers are choosing hospital births; Phyllis says it's because  they're told it's better.  joyce asks isn't it better and points out that statistics sshow that it is safer. Phyllis says home births provide the best of both worlds:dedicated care in the home environment and then swift transfer to hospital should complications arise.

    Joyce asks if there is a definitive list of complications that would make transfer necessary. Phyllis says there is, but that she hesitates to call it definitive as even the most skilled midwife might be faced with something new. Joyce says she doesn't like the sound of that. Phyllis chuckles and then Shelagh comes in.

    Speaking to Phyllis, Rosalind observes that it's a miracle there are any births considering everything that can go wrong. She answers forewarned is forearmed, and that it's like packing an umbrella and that if you've got one,you won't need it.  Rosalind chuckles and says she'll remember that.  She then asks for permission to pass leaflets about the raise the roof campaign for higher wages for nurses. Phyllis expresses reluctance as she's not sure where she stands. Nursing is a calling, she says, not a career and any suggestion that they are financially motivated will undermine their patients' trust in them.

    After the scene where Edna gives birth, Phyllis asks Nancy to keep an eye on Rosalind to make sure she isn't overdoing it in terms of the campaign. Nancy says maybe she has to, maybe they all have to.

    After the scene of Edna visiting Tracey in hospital, we switch to Nancy visiting Sahira in her home and telling her that there's nothing better than your own bed and toilet when you're  poorly and that she'll soon pick up.Sahira says the pains are better and her thoughts are clear and that she is feeling very fortunate.  Nancy tells her she knows she's not ready yet but that when she is, she can give her information on how to avoid unwanted pregnancy.  Sahira repeats unwanted pregnancy and Nancy acknowledges she could have put it better and that she understands. Sahira says that she has waited all her life to be a mother because they are told that's what women do and that this news changes everything she is and that Nancy understands nothing.

    After the scene of Fred teaching Trixie to drive, we switch to Nancy and Colette at the allotment. Nancy is sitting on a bench and tells Colette in time with the bounce as it will help the words stick. Colette begins bouncing her ball while reciting "The Naming of  Cats." Colette stumbles on a word, and Nancy gives her "kissed the girls and made thm cry as a hint for George. After a while, she says she can stop and that she is doing very well and that with so many sponsors, she's going to make a lot of cats very happy.

    Back at Edna's flat, Tracey is home, and Sr. Veronica tells her she cannot sleep on the couch forever. Edna says she can't put her in the back bedroom abd that she's on antibiotics for another week; Sr Veronica says it is unacceptable.

    cut and deleted content from s13 ep1

    They cut out some dialogue at the beginning.  Right after Sr. Veronica says that one midwife has not turned in her vaccination records and that they start tomorrow, she adds 
    "That's one copybook already blotted." 

    Shelagh asks her if she has spoken to Miss Higgins.  She answers that Miss Higgins is outside supervising Cub Scouts clean her windows and Nurse Crane is watching them wash her car.

    Shelagh says they'll be finished soon enough and that it's always all hands to the pump on bob-a-job week.

    In the next scene at Nonatus House, after Shelagh says they'll have to put the children on the floor like a picnic,she adds she hopes it won't give the wrong impression of district midwifery.

    They cut out a short scene (no dialogue) of the Turner children feeding their pets.  Teddy is feeding Petula the rabbit, and Angela refills her water bottle. May feeds Clark the tortoise.

    They cut a bit of dialogue of Patrick saying he was delighted when he heard about the new scheme.
     
    They cut the beginning of the scene with The Buckles and Reggie. Violet tells Fred she has done his list for this dinnertime's cash-and-carry run.  She's underlined Handy Andys and they have had a run on pixie hoods.  She says people will just buy them at the hairdresser's unless they have them by the till.  Fred tells her she needs to stop with the seductive chitchat as there are young ears listening, "Right, Reggie?"  

    Violet tells him she is glad someone is in a good mood because she has just gotten a call that the mini fairground she booked for Easter Monday has had to cancel. Reggie says "What" and Fred says they had a helter-skelter outside Nonnatus House and a roundabout for the kiddies.  Reggie says he came home especially.

    In the scene of the midwives and student nurses, when the phone rings, Shelagh says it's a timely opportunity to demonstrate their phone drill. She says that as she approaches the board, she glances up to see who is first on call and it's Nurse Aylward.

    They cut a scene with Cyril and Mrs. Wallace at his flat.  She points to Nigel who is eating and asks if he has found a new home for him.  Cyril says he's been trying to but the cat keeps coming back.  Mrs. Wallace says cats are ungodly and that there are no cats in the Bible.  She especially doesn't like that he rubs around people's legs during services.  Cyril says the problem isn't that Nigel is a cat but that the flat is too small for their growing church and that they will need to find new premises or stop evangelizing which Mrs. Wallace refuses.

    They cut a scene of Joyce,Rosalind,and Nancy in Joyce and Rosalind's room.  Joyce reads from a paper that voting members of The Royal College of Nursing have given their approval for a new "Raise the Roof" campaign which aims to raise nurse's wages by up to 50 percent. She asks Rosalind if she knows about this,and she says that she does and that she is fully in support of organized protest.  Other professions and industries do them and besides, their salaries are paltry.  Nancy points out that she's trained for four years and still can't afford a home for herself and her daughter.  Joyce says it's not just about the money for her, but about respect. She says she wants to be a hospital Matron and that she wants a wage that reflects how hard she is going to work.

    They cut part of the scene where Matthew picks up Trixie at the police station. She says it has happened before and it will probably happen again.  She says Nurse Crane has picked up poor Rosalind and taken her back to Nonnatus House for a lie down. She says that "baptism of fire" comes to mind.  Matthew says it's not funny and Trixie says she wasn't joking, today might have been exceptional in many ways, but they work with patients in extremis all the time.  He says he doesn't like her putting herself at risk and that maybe she could go back to work at the Lady Emily which is private, nearer their flat and also safe.

    In the scene of Joyce and Rosalind in their room, after they speak for a while, Nancy comes in and tells Rosalind that,  Nurse Crane has scrubbed her shoes, that they have been stuffed with paper and are now drying on the draining board. Rosalind jokes that she hopes they are dry by morning as she doesn't want to go to work in her slippers or party slingbacks.

    Joyce offers her a cup of tea with a bit of rum in it.  She says she's never had rum but agrees to it and quite likes it. Joyce says she has a full bottle and asks Nancy if she wants some.  She says "Oh go on" and says that she also had a very hard day as they still have a flaming pram to decorate.

    The endgame of “Mrs. Hall” and Siegfried Farnon was formalized the moment an actor in this film signed a contract to play a character now with the same given name, Audrey, as the wife of the real-life person (Donald Sinclair) on whom Siegfried was based. (Given that Sinclair committed suicide two weeks after Audrey died, the use of her name is not to be taken lightly.) And there are not a whole lot of educated, middle-aged Englishmen (even among the unmarried) who could forbear romantic or sexual feelings for any woman who even remotely resembles Anna Madeley.  

    Still can’t “see it”? Well, here is a woman who can.

    As to Gerald, his ultimate role in this non-drama has already been described on p.35 of the ACGAS discussion thread that preceded this current one for Season 4, all episodes of which can be viewed here.

    The entire season  (in fact, every season) is available if you have PBS Passport.

    Well, if writing closed captions was left up to my phone, every other word would be out of place. For example, my phone typed 'when today' after I said, "wintry day". Then when I said "I have a potluck stew" I got "' have no potlucks too'. SMH

    In the season 11 episode where Lucille had her miscarriage, the PBS subtitles had Phyllis telling her "I'll see to Mrs. Heslop and to Mister."  in the BBC subtitles, "Mister' was changed to "Miss."  Both made sense since Miss was obviously referring to their newborn daughter and "Mister" to Mister Heslop who was eager and well-meaning, but not always helpful.

    Still watching here, I’m just spending so much time eye rolling that I have nothing positive to say. 
     

    this whole Rovers purchase is insanely ridiculous-it’s like the writers are 12 and don’t understand how property purchases work. 
    I work for a high street bank, and I can 100% promise you that that purchase would not go through! For anything over a certain amount, you have to provide a paper trail of evidence as to where the funds have come from. For example, if you say it was a gift, then the person who ‘gifted’ it has to provide bank statements to prove where they themselves got it from, or prove accumulation of funds saved over a period of time. 
    Without any of this evidence, the sale would not go through and a fraud report would be initiated and fully investigated, funds would be frozen while the investigation was going through….. it’s beyond ridiculous. 
     

    And don’t even get me started on Daisy repeatedly harping on about how Jenny is owed compensation-why should Carla be the one paying the compenstaion?? Steven was an employee! Not a business owner

    the actor who plays bobby is a standup comedian who came second in "Britain's Got Talent" when he was 14.

    i wonder why they don't just do a temporary recast for Aggie.

    I first heard of porphyria when I read the author Isabel Allende's memoir Paula almost 30 years ago; her adult daughter (Paula) had it and eventually fell into a coma and passed away as a result.

    King George III was also believed to have had it.  Some believe Princess Margaret and Prince William of Gloucester (elder brother of the current Duke of Gloucester who died in a plane crash) may also have had it.

    ::shrug:: Isn’t Colette 8 or 9? That seems old enough to manage most things occasionally with a bit of supervision. Surely she can dress herself and get her pjs on and such, as long as someone is there to read a story and tuck her in or make her a sandwich and bring her to school. She can be in the bedroom alone; it’s not like she’s alone in the house.

     

    I personally found the scene where she was present when the midwives and Dr. Turner  were discussing Sr. Monica Joan somewhat unrealistic for the time period.  Obviously, it was done so she could tell them about Sr. Monica Joan's reminisces.

    But I think a better way would have been for her to have told Nancy about it when they  were in their room.

    From the way press releases and interviews with Olly Rix sound, he may be there through most of Season 13 (the upcoming one), but possibly not past that.

    He'll be in every episode but there are no guarantees after that.

    Pineapple was mentioned separately, so was included in the list with “pine nut”, but thanks for the suggestion. The mention of “a pine nut” perplexed me so much, I had to rewind to catch up with what I missed. I began to think it was some canned item containing pine nuts, but still couldn’t imagine what. 

    FWIW, the subtitles had her saying "pineapple."  I think she kind of swallowed the final syllable.
