"Call the Midwife" Episode #1.1 (TV Episode 2012) - Vanessa Redgrave as Mature Jenny

Mature Jenny : I must have been mad. I could have been an air hostess. I could have been a model. I could have moved to Paris or been a concert pianist. I could have seen the world, been brave, followed my heart. But I didn't. I side-stepped love and set off for the East End of London, because I thought it would be easier. Madness was the only explanation.
[introduction]

Mature Jenny : [voiceover] I must have been mad. I could have been an air-hostess. I could have been a model. I could have moved to Paris, or been a concert pianist. I could have seen the world - been brave, followed my heart. But I didn't. I side-stepped love and set off for the East-End of London, because I thought it would be easier. Madness was the only explanation.
Mature Jenny : [narrating] Midwifery is the very stuff of life. Every child is conceived in love, or lust, and born in pain followed by joy, or by tragedy and anguish. Every birth is attended by a midwife. She is in the thick of it. She sees it all.
Mature Jenny : I had begun to see what love could do. Love brought life into the world and women to their knees. Love had the power to break hearts and to save. Love was, like midwifery, the very stuff of life and I was learning how to fly with it. Through all the streets, like the river to the sea.
