0:00:41 > 0:00:43Now that's what you call a backlog.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Yes, I know. I've got a flu crisis meeting with management later.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Maybe I could get them to sanction some agency nurses.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52See if you can get them to knock up a few spare beds while you're at it.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Charlie, we've been here 25 minutes.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Control are going mad.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58We're short-staffed, as you can see.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Occupational Health suggest we start PEP.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Right. Sounds like bolting the stable door to me.- Mm-hm.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06We're already six members of staff down,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10so my off-duty is starting to look like a game of noughts and crosses.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11PHONE BEEPS
0:01:11 > 0:01:15OK, that's the second text from Zoe this morning.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Is she checking up on me again?
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Well, I wouldn't take it personally.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I'll go and rally the troops.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24That's trench talk.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Well, it is germ warfare, Charlie.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Look, I really appreciate you have been waiting around
0:01:28 > 0:01:32for over an hour and a half, but as you can see, we are trying our best...
0:01:32 > 0:01:33How are we doing, Noel?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, we are so short-staffed.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Hang in there, man.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- How are we doing, Louise? - Catching, binning, killing it.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Fletch.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Hello, Ash. I see we're just as busy, then.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Afraid so.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50No, tomorrow won't do.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yes, I'll hold.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55I've let Jamie go home.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Shall I call Lloyd, see if he can come in?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01No. Why? Fletch is back.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02Yeah, at your service.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Did you enjoy your days off?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I did, thanks for asking.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07How about you?
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Yes, I'm here. Great, I'll send Big Mac down now. Thank you.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I found that in my locker.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21While you were off, there was a secret Valentine.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23I noticed I didn't get one.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It wasn't you having a bit of fun, was it?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Seriously. Excuse me.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Who was it, then?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Fletch, you're back.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You all right?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Do you still think she sees you as a father figure?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39- PAGER BEEPS - Guys, Resus.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Aren't we supposed to be going on this holiday so you can relax?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Just one more e-mail and that's it.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You won't last a week, let alone two.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Done. - COUGHS
0:03:02 > 0:03:05We'd better get something for that cough.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08It's only a cold. I'll just chill for a bit.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Nothing.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Continue compressions, Tess.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Do you want me to take over?- No.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I don't think we are doing Mr Bailey any good. He's 78.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39He's got pre-existing coronary artery disease, and now pneumonia.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44He's had six mils of adrenaline, 300 Amiodarone -
0:03:44 > 0:03:46he's not responded to the shocks. Just give it a minute, Tess.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54No carotid pulse.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57No response.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02OK, I'm going to have to call it. Time of death, 9:35.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Poor thing.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07He had a good innings.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Kate...
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Look out!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Ouch!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45You OK?
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Yeah. I think so.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Aaargh. Aaargh!
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Are you OK?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- My eyes.- Are you OK?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Toby!
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Do something, Dad.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08You stay here. Don't move.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I'll call an ambulance.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28Now that's not exactly helping matters, is it? Hmm?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Do you think perhaps we could, er, stick it in the bin?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33I'm not a cleaner.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Er, no...
0:05:35 > 0:05:36If you want to be seen by a doctor,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38then you need to respect the hospital rules.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49How's it going in there?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Busy, but exciting.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I've managed to sign off loads of procedures.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55They're people, not procedures.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58I know, it's...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01See her? That's the wife of the man who just died in Resus.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Mr Bailey. A person, not just a procedure.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09What's up with him?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I don't know. Perhaps he's coming down with something an' all.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25I hate doing non-scheduled overtime.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Never mind, Norman. Think of the money.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30That's not the point. It's about getting the work-life ratio right.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Take me. I schedule my downtime
0:06:32 > 0:06:35as pertinently as I schedule my work life.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Hobbies, family visits. Dates...
0:06:38 > 0:06:40What? You date?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I'm seeing a lovely lady I met on a bird-fanciers' site.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46What, as opposed to seeing a bird you met on a lady-fancying site?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48She's a bit of a twit as well, is she?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49You mean "twitcher".
0:06:49 > 0:06:51No, I know what I meant.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- RADIO:- 'Control to 3006.'
0:06:53 > 0:06:553006, go ahead.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58'RTC. Two cars versus wall on the Edwalton Village Road.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01'Possible three casualties. Injuries unknown.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02'Multiple ambulances required.'
0:07:02 > 0:07:043006, we are on our way over.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08The porter's taken Mr Bailey,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but his wife forgot his personal effects.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Thanks. Actually, could you fill in the property form?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- I've got some bloods I need to finish.- Sure.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21It's sad, you know.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24His wife only said he'd nipped out to get his pension.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26If there's one thing this job has taught me,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- it's that life is unpredictable. - Tell me about it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31One minute I'm engaged to be married, the next...nothing.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Don't worry. You'll find another boy soon enough.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I'm not interested in boys any more.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Erm...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Aoife, did you send me that?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Ah, you got it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50It's a lovely gesture but... I'm not sure if it's appropriate.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Oh.- Well, I was fine with it, but Tess had a bit of an issue with it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55She did. Why?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Probably just cos I'm your mentor.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Fletch, it was just a bit of a laugh, that's all.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Besides, you're way too old for me.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh. Thanks for that(!)
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Stay nice and still for me. Help's on the way.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Dixie?
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Jeff. Me and Norm will take the head-on.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- You take the taxi.- OK.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Are you all right, princess? I'm Jeff. I'm a paramedic.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28I've hurt my wrist.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Did you step out of that?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31I've broken my acrylics.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I'm surprised you haven't broken your neck. Thanks, mate.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36OK. What's your name, love?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37She just didn't stop.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40She came flying down there like Jenson Button.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Are they going to be all right? - Yeah, they're in good hands.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Let's have a little look at you, shall we?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm feeling dizzy.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I'm not surprised, kid. Let's have you over there.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53We'll sit you down and have a little look at that arm, all right?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58OK, nice and slowly. Let's start again, shall we? Big deep breaths.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I'm Jeff. I'm a paramedic.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04What's your name, kid?
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Lesley Cooper.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08OK, Lesley Cooper.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Let's have a little look at those nails, shall we?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Nice and still.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17My eyes are still stinging.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The powder from the airbag is irritating them. Don't worry.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22This will keep your neck nice and safe, Kate,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- until we get it X-rayed, all right? - Where's the man from the van behind?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Look, please don't move. What man, love?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Nothing. I must have been confused.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Ahhhhh.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38If I were a gambling man, I'd put odds on that ankle being broken.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Don't say that. We're on our way to a Caribbean cruise today.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You might have to reconsider that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48You take a few breaths of this while I immobilise your leg.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Aargh.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Did you know the Caribbean comprises of
0:09:53 > 0:09:57more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and keys?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00He's an authority on a lot of subjects is our Norman.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'd say I was more of a keen amateur.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Keep puffing on that if you need it.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- How are you feeling?- I'll live.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14OK, look, I'm going to take you down the hospital, anyway,
0:10:14 > 0:10:15get you looked over.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20How are we doing in here?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Shouldn't you be up in the ivory tower playing with the bigwigs?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Meeting postponed till later. Is this lady good to go?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Yeah.- Great.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Sally White's records.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32This is Samantha Coles.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Sally's been moved to Ward Six.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Flipping heck, it's like bed roulette in here. By the way, Ash,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40we've had a lot reporters sniffing around reception
0:10:40 > 0:10:42asking about the passing of Mr Bailey.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- How did they get the information? - From the internet.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Just what we need. Leaked information causing a scare.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Where are they?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- They're still waiting outside.- OK.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Erm...I'm just going to get rid of this dressings tray, OK.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Can you get us some blankets from the basement?
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- Yeah.- Thanks.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I've been looking for you. I've done something really stupid.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Me too. I tweeted about Mr Bailey dying
0:11:09 > 0:11:11and now there's journalists outside.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Are you joking?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Do you know how much trouble you could get in if Tess finds out?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Don't say that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I was going to tell you something private, but you're such a bigmouth!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You want to turn that frown upside down
0:11:28 > 0:11:30or you'll be getting Botox by the time you're 30.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Thanks, Louise. That really helps(!) - Are you all right?
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I've just made a complete idiot of myself.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- What, with a patient? - With Fletch.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I sent him a Valentine's card and now he thinks I've a crush on him.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- And do you have a crush?- No.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well, maybe. Just a little.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Ah, it's so embarrassing.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I once had a crush on a boss at a Saturday job I had at college.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52He had the loveliest teeth and the bluest eyes you could ever imagine.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54And that helps me how?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Well, he gave me all the signals, you know.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Then one day I moved in for a kiss and he blew me off.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Awful.- You're telling me.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I couldn't look him in the eye for a month. I felt such a fool.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07But I survived. No wounds, no scars.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09So you think I can get past this with Fletch?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Just suck it up and see. And stop hiding in here.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15You're right. Thanks.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I warned you this thing with Fletch might cause problems.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Don't worry. It's all good now.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It might be for you, but what about Fletch?
0:12:25 > 0:12:26What do you mean?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30He's your mentor. He needs to maintain a professional distance.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- I understand that. - But now he knows about the crush,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35how awkward do you think that makes him feel?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38I didn't think.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Well, maybe you should start.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55ALARM BEEPS

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Cubicles six and eight are going up to AAU.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I thought they said they were full?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, they lost a couple of patients and I nipped in quick.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Blimey, it's getting like Dead Man's Shoes around here.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14No, Louise, they discharged them home.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, right. I'll get their files sent up ASAP.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17OK, thank you.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Hi, Louise.- Hi.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I was doing a quiz in a magazine earlier
0:16:23 > 0:16:26about toys you used to play with as a kid.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Which were you?
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Were you more of a Tiny Tears, or a collector,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- like miniature figurines and stuff? - Excuse me?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36When you were little, which did you prefer?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Are you kidding? We're in the middle of a flu epidemic
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and you think I've got time to stand around and talk about dolls?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I was only asking.- Well, some of us have got better things to do.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Are you normally fit and well?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53You know what? I'm fine, really. This is just wasting time.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55They're just routine questions, Lesley.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Sorry. These places give me the heebie-jeebies.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Me too. Yeah, that's broken.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03What do you think?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'd say so.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07Just great(!)
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Don't worry, we can fix it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Can you fix my taxi too, cos that looked like a total write-off?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Well, I know a bloke that repairs cars cheaply, so, yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Won't the company take care of it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I am the company. Me and my partner.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Bluebelles - isn't that the taxi company for women by women?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23And vulnerable adults.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's a great idea. Don't you think?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yeah, it's a great idea. I'll sort out the X-ray.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I'm just going to pop this on your finger.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And I'm sure the insurance will cover the damage.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Yeah. Sure.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Right, I won't be a minute.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Yeah, it was Aoife who sent that card.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44But we sorted it out.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Sure?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- She said I was too old for her.- Ouch!
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Are we OK?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54We're fine.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The dust from the airbag irritated your eyes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02We won't need the ophthalmic surgeons.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05But you do have a rather serious fracture to your ankle,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07so you're going to have to have surgery today.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Ready for me, Doc?- Ah, yes, please.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11We're waiting for an orthopaedic bed to free up.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14However, we've arranged to move you to cubicles.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15- OK?- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Big Mac. It's my nephew's birthday soon,
0:18:19 > 0:18:24and he's really into action comic heroes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Where might I get that kind of stuff?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I don't know, my love. But I do know a man that does.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31You do?
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Mm-hm. Right, off we go.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'll come and find you when Ash has finished.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- OK.- Shouldn't be too long. Just checking your ribs, OK.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42OK, deep breath...
0:18:44 > 0:18:45..and out.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49You've been a very lucky lady.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I know.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Doesn't seem fair, does it?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Are you winning?
0:19:00 > 0:19:01No.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'm bored, Dad.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06We won't be long now.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08OK, I've checked Nathan's X-rays
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- and there appears to be nothing broken.- Told you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13What are you playing?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Chess.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16How are you getting on?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19He's just moved his bishop to my queen.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Let's have a look.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Why don't you move your rook to his bishop?
0:19:27 > 0:19:28What do you think?
0:19:30 > 0:19:31Chess is a foreign language to me.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33You'll get it one day, Dad.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41There appears to be excessive bruising around his shoulder joint,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44but you understand why, right?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Yeah, well, we thought we were home and dry. But then it came back.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So he has to go through the whole nine yards again?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53They don't think it's going to work this time.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- We're looking for a donor. - Stem cells?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Yeah. He's on the list.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Well, I wish you luck with that.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Thanks.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05We're optimistic we're going to find someone, aren't we?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Yeah, but I've told him
0:20:06 > 0:20:09there's less than a 50% chance she'll be a match.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13He wants to be a doctor when he grows up.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Checkmate. Thanks.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21I'm happy for him to go home.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's not wise keeping him here any longer than necessary.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Fair enough.- See you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35His sats are low, 97%, and his breathing is laboured.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37OK. Big deep breath in for me.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I feel awful. I got off scot-free and look at you.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43OK. And out.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I'm just glad you're not injured.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Have you been feeling unwell recently?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I've had a touch of this flu.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Well, your chest X-ray is clear.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- We'll keep you under observation for now.- Thanks.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- COUGHS - You all right?- I'm fine.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08He's not very patient around illness, are you?
0:21:08 > 0:21:09No. I'm not.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, you need to be. Just rest.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15That word doesn't exist in his vocabulary.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Toby's a workaholic.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Why don't I go to the shop,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22get you a few bits to make your stay a bit better?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Thanks.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27I won't be long.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32There you go.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36So if you ever want a taxi, try the Bluebelles' all-female drivers.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Are you on commission or something?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40No, but every little helps when you're starting a business.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I don't know if I'd want to start a business in this climate.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45But if they've found a gap in the market, they could do well.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I don't know. All-women drivers?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- It sounds a bit weird. - What do you mean by "weird"?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The fact that they drive a taxi for a living
0:21:52 > 0:21:54or the fact they drive in general?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The fact they drive in general, really.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Shut up.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Someone to see you.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Oh, princess, it's you. What's happened?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I've busted my wrist.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Ah. Come here.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I don't understand.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21The police said that it was Lesley who crashed the car.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I know. I told them that was my name.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Why would you say you were Lesley?
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- Not now.- What have you done?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Please don't say anything. I'll explain later.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31X-ray's ready for you. Oh, look, another Bluebelle.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34This is Nadia - my life and business partner.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Hi.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39She's been really upset about the state of her taxi.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41She should be. We can't afford to have a vehicle
0:22:41 > 0:22:42off the road right now.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45We're bidding on a new contract at Brydon House this afternoon
0:22:45 > 0:22:46and I really need to make it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Fair enough. Let's get you into X-ray.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Hiya.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58All right.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I was speaking to Big Mac earlier.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Yeah? About what?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06He says you're really into action figures.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Was he having a go about it being a bit geeky?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11No. Not at all.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12That makes a change.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16It started with a classic Spider-Man and grew from there.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I've collected them ever since I was a kid.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19You must have loads!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21A fair few. Why are you asking?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well...
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It's just that...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Are you looking for somewhere to live?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30No, not really.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Oh, OK.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Sorry, did you want something?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It's not time for your break, is it, Robyn?
0:23:38 > 0:23:39No. I, er... I was just going.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Got some discharge forms to fill out.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Noel, if you need anything...
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Is everything OK?
0:23:52 > 0:23:53Yeah.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I've just got one more form for you. Won't be a second.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Kate.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11I won't be a minute.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I knew it was you. What the hell are you doing?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- We need to talk.- I have absolutely nothing to say to you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, I've got something to say to you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24What's going on?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28He's your child, Kate.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30I am not having this conversation here.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31You're Nathan's mother?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Robyn, look after Nathan for a sec.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Yeah, sure.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43It's been seven years.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Don't think for one minute I'm here for a reconciliation.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47So why are you stalking me?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49First this morning and now turning up here?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Take it easy. This is a hospital.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56He's dying.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59What?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Nathan has leukaemia.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06It's his second time.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08The only chance of his survival at the moment
0:25:08 > 0:25:10is a stem cell transplant.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14No.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Give her a chance to take in the news, OK.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You did good.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Thanks.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32So how does that feel?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Yeah, that's OK.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35We're going to be late.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37All right. Are we good to go?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39We need to get you an outpatient's appointment
0:25:39 > 0:25:40and some pain relief first.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Well, can't I come back after the meeting?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44That depends on your pain threshold, really.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- That's it. I'll have to ring them. - You're not cancelling.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- No, I'll just have to go on my own...- No! I'm coming.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Let's pop that back in the sling. - Can you get off? I need to go.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- You need to calm down. - Babe, stop causing a scene.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Don't start, I don't want a row with you.- Come on, please.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I really need...
0:26:00 > 0:26:02CRIES OUT
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Get her on the bed. - What's happening?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Any history of fits, seizures, epilepsy?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- No, no.- Any head injuries?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Nothing major. - Do something.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Can you hear me, Lesley?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15I can hear you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17What's happening?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Don't worry. She's in safe hands.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21He's dying?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I'm so sorry.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Look, I swear I never knew Nathan was sick. Not until today.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29You know now.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32And now you could do something to save him.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I can't pick up being his mother again, OK.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I gave that right up a long time ago.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39OK, look, all right. Maybe not being his mum.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41But you still could be tested
0:26:41 > 0:26:43to see if you're a match for stem cell donation.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Toby knows nothing about David or Nathan.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I mean, what must he be thinking?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Don't you think he deserves the truth?
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Yes. And he needs to hear it from me. I'm sorry.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I can't do this stem cell thing. I can't....
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I didn't intend for things to get so messy.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well, when things calm down, maybe she'll come round.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13No, not Kate. I know her.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Once she's made her mind up, there's no changing it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20You know, even if we persuade her,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22the chances of her being a match are thin.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Yeah, but then at least we'd have hope, right?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33And if we have hope, we have everything, right?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Now, squeeze my hand for me.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Good. OK, let's sit you up.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Ever had one of these episodes before?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51No. Never.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Are you sure, Lesley?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55We just need to know so we can treat you properly.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I'm telling you that was the first time.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59What exactly was it?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Well, I'd like to get a neurologist down to take a look at you,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06and if we could order up a CT to be on the safe side...
0:28:07 > 0:28:10So she won't be leaving any time soon?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Well, we'll have to see, OK?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20That has happened before, hasn't it?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You'd better start talking.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I had a fit two weeks ago.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31The doctor said it could have been epilepsy.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I should have informed the DVLA.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Is that why you lied about being Lesley?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36I didn't want to disappoint you.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Disappoint me!
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You've got such high standards, Nadia.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Sometimes it's hard to live up to them.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Excuse me, there's a police officer
0:28:43 > 0:28:45waiting to talk to you about the crash.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46I can't talk to him now.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Why don't I keep them at bay for a while,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- while you sort things out here? - BOTH: Thank you.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- We're going to the meeting. - You're not well enough.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00What, you're a doctor now too?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Let me prove to you I can do something right. Please.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Hannah!
0:29:05 > 0:29:07I'm so sorry. I should have told you.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12You were married and you have a child?
0:29:12 > 0:29:13I HAD a child.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- What, and you left him? - I can explain.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17I'm not sure I want to hear it.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- MACHINE BEEPS FASTER - What's happening?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22HE COUGHS
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Toby, try and breathe nice and deeply for me, OK?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Stay calm. I'm going to sit you up. Try not to panic.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30He's tachycardic.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34OK, nice deep breaths. Yeah, we need to get him into Resus.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Try and stay calm for us.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41- Ready?- Yes, let's go.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Toby, I'm so sorry!
0:29:50 > 0:29:54He's developed an expiratory wheeze and his sats are down to 96%.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Looks like asthma to me, but there's no history.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59His resps are 30. Pulse is 140.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01What's he got in his hair?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Cornstarch and flour from the airbag. It exploded on impact.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Keep breathing, that's it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09OK, well, if it burst, it could have released sodium azide.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Which could have triggered the onset of asthma?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Yeah. Worth a try. - OK. Let's go down that route.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Can I get five of salbutamol and 200 of hydrocortisone
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- and let's see how he does with that? - You OK here?
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Yes, I'm good, thank you.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, Toby, look, I promise you, things will be all right.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I know it's difficult now, but it will get easier.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30(Excuse me.)
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Sorry for the wait.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33This is horrendous.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I'll see what's happening.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36According to a recent agreement
0:30:36 > 0:30:38between the hospital and ambulance service,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40and in compliance with my guidelines,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42subsection "Patient Flow",
0:30:42 > 0:30:44patients should be processed and off-trolley
0:30:44 > 0:30:47in a maximum of 20 minutes. I've been here 45.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'm aware of the guidelines.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51If you could be patient for another five minutes,
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I'll find out what's going on.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Thank you.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Just please apologise for the wait, and tell them we'll get her
0:31:00 > 0:31:04up to a ward as soon as we possibly can. All right, thanks.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Well, they're stacking up in the corridors now, as you can see.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Ash, something's got to give.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11We are sailing far too close to the wind.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I'll ring the wards.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15You will get a torrent of abuse.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Water off a duck's back, Charlie.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Good luck.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Hello, this is Dr Ashford from the ED.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Can I speak to the ward manager, please?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Well, she either takes my call, or I come up and see her myself.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Thank you.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32How are you feeling?
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Better.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40I've just spoken to the surgeons, and due to your chest complications,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43they are going to have to put your operation back until tomorrow.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44OK.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Where's Kate?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50She's in reception, waiting to talk to you.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51And the boy?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53He's in the relatives' room with his dad.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57What a mess.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02David's just a desperate man.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04I can't take all this in.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I can't imagine how her child feels.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Me neither.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15CT have finally got a slot for Lesley.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- She'll be relieved.- Yeah.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Can I speak to you for a moment, please?- Course.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26I've been thinking.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Oh no, you don't want to do too much of that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Maybe I should ask for a new mentor.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33Why?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37I feel like a bit of an eejit since I sent you the card.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I thought we sorted that out.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Yeah. But I wouldn't want you to feel awkward.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Lesley Cooper's file.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Thank you, Noel.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Where's Lesley?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01She should be there.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Right, I'll have a look for her.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Actually, there might be a contact number in here for her.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12According to this, Lesley Cooper is 39.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Eh?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Why don't you check the Bluebelles' website?
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Should be a contact number on there.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Nadia Savill.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28And Hannah Cotterill?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Why did she give us a false name?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I have no idea. But someone find out.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34See, that was good thinking. I put that down to a great mentor -
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- and you wouldn't want to go changing that, would you?- I guess...
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- And we have a laugh. - Yeah, but your jokes stink.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Oh, come on. They're not that bad.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43You do need a new batch.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I'm not having you two ganging up on me, all right?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49You make it so easy. I'd better go and find her.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Are you sure you're up to this?
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Absolutely.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Thank you very much.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You've got lovely manners.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10They're my favourites.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I prefer the sours, but they didn't have any.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Do you know who I am?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Yeah. Dad's told me all about you.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27He has?
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Yes, he has.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Come on, Nathan.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35I'd better go.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Nice meeting you.- You too.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44Toby's stable.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48Can I see him?
0:34:57 > 0:35:01The difference between Bluebelles and a normal taxi service
0:35:01 > 0:35:03is that we have a through-the-door policy.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Er..
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I just lost my way a bit there.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10But don't think we'll lose your clients.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13We've got great sat-navs in every car.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16So if you're looking for security and service with a smile,
0:35:16 > 0:35:20then Bluebelles can deliver. Thank you.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22If you could just give us a few moments?
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- Can we get out of here?- Are you OK?
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Yeah.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30No. No, I'm not.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34It's OK, princess.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Get an ambulance.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44These are finished with.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45Thank you.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Noel, do you fancy coming for a drink later with me
0:35:48 > 0:35:50and some of the others?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Nah, I don't fancy it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Something to eat, then? You do eat?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Of course I eat. How would I survive if I didn't eat?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Oh, we could go for a curry if you like?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Look, I'm not sure that Tess would appreciate you
0:36:06 > 0:36:08hanging around here all the time.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10No, you're right. She wouldn't.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So if you don't mind, I've got things to do.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16I was in the basement earlier.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21I wasn't being nosy or anything, but I saw...
0:36:21 > 0:36:22You saw what?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I know you're living down there.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40Somebody help him, please!
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- What happened?- I don't know. He fainted.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- He just said he felt hot. - Right, this way.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Have you seen Ash?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Nope, sorry.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Tom! It's Nathan.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54OK, David, let's put him on the bed over here.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- What happened? - He just fainted.- OK, lay him down.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00I should never have brought him here.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01It's not your fault.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04OK, yeah, he's burning up.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Take his temp.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Temperate is 39.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10It looks like a bacterial infection, possible pneumonia.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12OK, Nathan, it's going to be a little cold, OK?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Let's get a fan on him and get him into a gown.- Yep.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19I can do that. Come on, son, this will cool you down.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- Dad.- Good boy, Nathan, good boy.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22I'm here. I'm here.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26The porters are here to take you to the orthopaedic ward.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28OK. Thanks.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36You could be here a week, maybe longer.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38I'll make sure the office knows.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Don't bother, I'll do it myself.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I know I should have been honest with you from the start.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Is Nathan going to be all right?
0:37:45 > 0:37:49I don't know. One of my colleagues is dealing with him.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Are we going to be OK?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I really don't know what to think.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Things don't have to change.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58They already have.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01You're as much of a stranger to me as you are to that child.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Look, I...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I just need some time alone to take all this in.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Kate...
0:38:18 > 0:38:19You made your mind up?
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Yeah, I have.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30OK, beds two and three up to Ward Nine.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And that lady can go to Long-term Care. Thank you.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35That's what I like to see -
0:38:35 > 0:38:37a convoy of patients and empty beds.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40I don't know how you persuaded the ward managers to do this,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42but I could give you a big wet kiss.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44It took some doing, which is ridiculous,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47considering we're all in the patient-care business.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Well, theoretically, yes, but as you well know,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53every department is a slave to its budget.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55And paperwork. Tonnes of it.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57I swear, there must be some guy paid millions
0:38:57 > 0:39:00dreaming up ways of making our lives more difficult.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02You're preaching to the choir, Ash. Preaching to the choir.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Well done, anyway.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08You're welcome. All I need now is to find my missing patient.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12Noel.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15You just don't know when to butt out, do you?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17I'm only trying to help.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Can you lend me some money?
0:39:19 > 0:39:20What for?
0:39:20 > 0:39:21To keep my dad in care.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26He's got dementia.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29He's been in this really good care home for five years.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I'm so sorry to hear that.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34The money from his life savings and the sale of the house
0:39:34 > 0:39:36covered it at first, until they put up the cost.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38There must be cheaper places?
0:39:38 > 0:39:42There are cheaper places. But he loves it there. He's settled.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Anyway...
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I've been subbing the difference in cost for the past year.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- I lost my flat three weeks ago. - Why didn't you tell anyone?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Because I didn't want charity,
0:39:55 > 0:39:57or those pitying looks we give patients.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Can you ask the NHS for some financial support?
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I've tried that. They said no.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04We had the same problem with my gran.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- You've got to appeal.- You think so?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Definitely, yeah!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I'm just not good at anything like that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13I am. I write great angry letters.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Do you want me to?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21OK. But I don't want anyone else finding out about this.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Come on, Noel.- Do you hear me?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25You don't say a word. Promise?
0:40:27 > 0:40:28I promise.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33This is Hannah Cotterill.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35She's had a repeat of the same episode.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37That one, thanks, Dix.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40OK, Hannah. I need you to shuffle over to the other bed, please, love.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Nice and gently, OK? There we go.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48You should have been straight with us from the start, Hannah.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51I thought we'd lose everything if I had epilepsy.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- So, the wanderer returns. - Don't be too hard on her.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- She's already feeling silly for running off.- I'm really sorry.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Hey, it wasn't just you.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04I'm just going to pop this on your finger again.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06If you'd stuck around I was going to refer you to a neurologist
0:41:06 > 0:41:09for a specialist assessment,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12but I suspect this is maybe something called SPS.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Stiff Person Syndrome.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16I've never heard of it.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17It's quite rare.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Is it curable?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Not curable. I'd say more manageable.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23It's a very individual condition.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Episodes can be triggered by noise, or even stress.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28I've been giving you plenty of that lately, haven't I?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31If it's not epilepsy, does that mean I won't lose my driving licence?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33You'll have to check with the DVLA.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36There's still the police officer to talk to.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Well, that's it, then, isn't it?
0:41:38 > 0:41:41PHONE RINGS
0:41:41 > 0:41:43It's Brydon House. Can I?
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Course you can.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Hello?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51We could always hand out cards around the hospital
0:41:51 > 0:41:53to drum up business.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54I don't think it would help.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59OK, thank you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07What did they say?
0:42:08 > 0:42:09We got the contract!
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Well done.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16You know what?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20From now on, we'll face whatever is ahead together
0:42:20 > 0:42:21and we'll make it work.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24So you don't fancy being Clinical Lead full-time, then?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Never say never. But I didn't go through my medical training
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- to do admin. - Zoe phoned. She's still sick.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- You're joking?- No, I'm not. And to add insult to injury,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36we've got 12 more flu victims in reception.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38What? I'm well and truly saddle-sore.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Do you know, I think we've got some very good ointment for that.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Mm-hm.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Yeah, matter of fact, I'll get you some.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49This day can't end soon enough.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53I know. I'm glad you sorted things with Aoife.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55You are a good team.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Do you know what, before you go home, do you fancy going for a drink?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Have a little catch-up?
0:43:05 > 0:43:06I took that tweet down.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I should think so.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11You wanted to talk to me about something private?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Oh, no. It's done and dusted.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Big Mac, you selling something?
0:43:20 > 0:43:23No. I'm going to get a lodger.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19and says to the barman, "Has my brother been in?"
0:44:19 > 0:44:23And the barman says, "I don't know. What does he look like?"
