Episode #2.3 (2013)

Helen George: Trixie Franklin

Quotes 

• Meg : [blustering]  Culpepper says it should be dark in the birthing room.

  Trixie Franklin : Yes, but that was years ago. I'm sure he would have felt differently if he had electric light. I need to see what I am doing.

  [blocking her] 

  Trixie Franklin : Leave it alone!

  Trixie Franklin : Hello, Mave. What you doing that for? I'll need to listen to baby's heart. This is the 1950s, not the 1590s. Your sister needs to be in bed so we can examine her properly.

  Meg : She has to be in the birthing chair!

  Trixie Franklin : Dr Turner will be popping round soon, and if he sees your sister in this contraption he'll drag it out from under her and chop it up as firewood!

  Meg : I'll chop *him* up!

  Sister Bernadette : I'm sure you'll do no such thing. You'll be too busy helping us with preparations.

  Meg : Who sent for you?

  Trixie Franklin : No-one. We operate purely on telepathy.
