0:00:32 > 0:00:33Hest...?

0:00:35 > 0:00:37KNOCK ON DOOR

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Heston?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46SHOWER RUNS

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Choochoo?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50I'm off now, darling.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Good morning.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Good morning.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Did you sleep well?

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Yes, thank you.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Me too. Like a baby.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Never better!

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Sit! Come, let's eat.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I still haven't changed how I feel. - There is nothing worse than cold toast.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08And you?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I would rather not have any toast at all.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I am not talking about the toast.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15And I am.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Please, sit down.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25I know what I'm doing.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27We are both grown-ups.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Some more grown-up than others.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm old enough.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31And I am too old.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33So...it's the age difference, is it?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Jam or marmalade?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41I think I will have jam.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Why don't you say grace?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Dear Lord, we thank you for your bounteous gifts,

0:02:53 > 0:02:57for providing us with tastes and desires

0:02:57 > 0:03:01and experiences in the most unexpected places.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08You truly do work in mysterious ways...

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Someone we may barely notice

0:03:10 > 0:03:13can suddenly make our hearts beat with love...

0:03:13 > 0:03:14Or something...

0:03:16 > 0:03:19..like a humble piece of toast.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22I am not talking about the toast.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25And I am.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Oh! Doctor Carter. - Morning, Mrs Tembe.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46I can't seem to find the right keys.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Allow me.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Hey, you are early. - Yeah, as are you.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Sometimes it is easier to leave the house and get to work.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57I quite agree.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Doctor Carter?- Oh, hello, Lara.- I am sorry, we are not quite open yet.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05- I can't wait, I have to be somewhere.- Yeah, I'm sorry, it really is a bit...

0:04:05 > 0:04:06I've done what you told me to.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Gone away and thought about it,

0:04:08 > 0:04:11but I know now what I've known for the last five years.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15I don't want children - I never have, I never will.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20- So, I've decided...- Why don't we have a quick chat in my office?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24It's the only reason Mum's alive.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25We don't know that.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28She was in her 40s...already had you.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32- I thought you were going to wait. - I tried! Met someone...

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Did you discuss it with him? - What was I supposed to say?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39"Let's get on with it so I can have my ovaries cut out."?

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- You didn't discuss it with him? - What would he have said?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43What would any man say?

0:04:43 > 0:04:47And who's to say he's the one and not just there...available?

0:04:47 > 0:04:50You don't know until you've talked about it.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'd rather just accept I can't have children.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I thought you were going to wait until you're 30?

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I've already waited five years and the risk keeps going up.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Well, the odds are in your favour until you're 30. - And what happens after that?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Leave it till I'm 35?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Or put it all into my career and...

0:05:09 > 0:05:11meet a man who doesn't want children.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13What does your mum think?

0:05:13 > 0:05:14That I should wait.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19I did tell him. Michael...

0:05:20 > 0:05:23..and shortly after that we broke up.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25You can't make a decision like this

0:05:25 > 0:05:28on the back of one failed relationship.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- I'm not.- You'll meet someone else.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32And go through it all again? Telling him?

0:05:32 > 0:05:33Well, you'll have to.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35And then what?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38After the babies, the operation...

0:05:38 > 0:05:40Look at Mum and Dad.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42We're all different.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Only we're not, are we?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm not doing this because of Michael.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50I gave myself five years.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54- It's time.- I'm not sure the NHS will agree.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57You'll find it hard to find a surgeon prepared to do it.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00I already have.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01The best.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Miss Swan.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Aamina Swan, at St Phil's?

0:06:05 > 0:06:09You're right...about the NHS, they wanted me to wait...

0:06:10 > 0:06:13..which is why I'm going private.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I'm having the operation today.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20KNOCK ON DOOR

0:06:30 > 0:06:31This came.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33What is it?

0:06:33 > 0:06:36I don't know, I thought it might be important.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Is it addressed to me?

0:06:38 > 0:06:39"The Householder."

0:06:39 > 0:06:42It is unlikely to be important. Leave it there, I will look at it later.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45I don't want to leave it.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48I am at work, I have not got time for this.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Good morning, Doctor Wilson. - Morning.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Are you all right, love?

0:07:09 > 0:07:12A woman just left your room in tears.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15She's about to have bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17She can't be more than 30.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18She's 25.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22She had an aunt who died and a mother who successfully had the procedure.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24But she's 25.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Old enough to make her own decisions.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28When's she having it done?

0:07:28 > 0:07:29Today.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Er... Right, she could have years, maybe a lifetime.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Just cos her mum and her aunt... - Freya, Freya, I know.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38She can't have it done.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, apparently, if you go private, you can.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42If she's so sure about her decision,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- why has she come to see you first?- I'm her GP.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48And I used to be a general surgeon.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50You mean you were at her mum's operation?

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Her aunt's.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Who you said died?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Found a tumour, tried to remove it.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- How old was she?- 35.- So she can definitely afford to wait?

0:08:04 > 0:08:07I don't like this any more than you but there's nothing we can do about it!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13The local council are offering grants for insulation.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15So you're happy about it now?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17It was not worth disturbing me for.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Then maybe I should take it back? - No.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23No, you never know when these things will come in handy.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Do you think Doctor Carter's patient was OK?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I cannot discuss that.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Yes, maybe this could be quite useful.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Mrs Bonnaire, I wasn't expecting you.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46No, I've just popped in to see Heston. Which room's he in?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Well...- Has he had a tea? - Not that I know...

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- She should not do that.- Do what? - Come and disturb Doctor Carter.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Making someone a cup of tea isn't disturbing them.

0:08:55 > 0:08:56It is inappropriate.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59The working day hasn't even started.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00That is not the point.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02She works here anyway.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Sometimes, but not today.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10I think it is nice, calling in on someone, unexpectedly, you care for.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Maybe I should have brought you a cup of tea instead of a leaflet.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16I would have seen this at home anyway.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28KNOCK ON DOOR

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Never too early for Lapsang Souchong!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Did you know, I've got that many appointments and home visits today...

0:09:38 > 0:09:42all without a kiss goodbye from my love.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46What's the matter?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Choochoo?- I'm worried.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51About a patient.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, is everything all right?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Sorry, I'm going to have to go.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Stop smiling, you'll make her nauseous!

0:10:09 > 0:10:12What kind of a man wants to be a gynaecologist?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Right, I have a consent form for you to sign.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Here we are.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I can leave that with you?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26No, it's fine, I just need a pen, that's all.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Callum Reeves, registrar, I'll be assisting.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Perhaps you can talk Miss Bennett through the procedure.

0:10:32 > 0:10:37Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy...

0:10:35 > 0:10:37In English.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Complete removal of the womb, both ovaries and the fallopian tubes.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Why?- Pre-emptive surgery?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Because?- There's a family history?

0:10:45 > 0:10:49My aunt died of ovarian cancer when she was 35.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52She worked here. St Phil's first female surgeon.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Really?- But when it came to herself, she left it too late.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58The cancer was already there and she died in surgery.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- The same surgery your mother had? - But after she'd had children.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Aunt Carol put it off too, but because of her career...

0:11:05 > 0:11:08If she was here now, she'd tell me to stop dithering.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10Risks?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Um...

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Haemorrhage, infection, thrombosis.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Are you sure you want to do this?

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Yes.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Right, OK, I'll see you later.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31She's not that bad.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33I've heard she's very good.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36We'll be back to see you later on.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40The knight in shining armour!

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Showing a patient the error of her ways.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45Attractive?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Carol Chandler's niece.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50I don't want her to do something she'll regret.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51But given what happened to Carol?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Well, she can afford to wait five years.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I don't see how you can stop her.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Well, maybe not her.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01You're not going to take on Aamina Swan?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02I'll try.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Life in the old dog yet!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Of course, I'm still trying to get young girls

0:12:08 > 0:12:09to do things they WILL regret!

0:12:12 > 0:12:13I've got one too.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15A girlfriend?

0:12:15 > 0:12:16A Smartphone.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Really? Know how to use it?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21A registrar showed me.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Did she now?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25HE! Bit of a whizz kid.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27And you've let him take the flak?

0:12:27 > 0:12:28How do you mean?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, look after your patients while you play the hero?

0:12:31 > 0:12:32No.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Anyway, that's the other registrar.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38- What's he like?- She.- Oh! - And before you ask...

0:12:38 > 0:12:40No, no, no, no. Look, look...

0:12:40 > 0:12:41So, what IS going on?

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Well, if you must know, I'm with someone.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Domestic bliss...how dull.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12So in the first par - we call a paragraph a par -

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- I set something up and in the last par, I...- Jack?

0:13:16 > 0:13:17I have a problem to discuss.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Akono, thing is I'm...

0:13:20 > 0:13:23One that I thought you may know how to deal with.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26Especially with your vast experience of women!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Mate, you have got to stop ruining my chances!

0:13:31 > 0:13:36You are right. There's no point yours being ruined because of mine.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, what did you write in the last par, eh?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43JACK CHUCKLES

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Miss Swan?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Doctor Heston Carter.

0:13:50 > 0:13:51Erstwhile surgeon.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Lara Bennett's GP.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Ah. Forgive me, Doctor Carter, I've got to prepare for theatre.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59That's what I wanted to talk about.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Right. Er, go get me a coffee.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05And, you, make sure he gets it right.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06Come in.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10She's sending you mixed messages.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11What do you mean?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14She likes you, but she's scared to confront her feelings.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15So what do I do?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18You need to get some time alone with her.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Lots of time.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Not jump on her, just get to know each other.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23So she confronts her feelings?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25And hopefully by then...

0:14:25 > 0:14:28The connection is undeniable?

0:14:28 > 0:14:32What I was going to say is that it's so late that she has to stay at yours.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35What you really need to do is to get out of Mrs Tembe's house.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36Why?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38You need your independence.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Grab hold of life and then this woman that you like.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Maybe you're right.- Well, I should be...with my VAST experience.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54There are valid clinical reasons for this procedure.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I feel it may be a little precipitous, unduly influenced by what happened to her aunt.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00SHE'S unduly influenced?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I don't understand.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Well, it's a little unusual, isn't it?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06A GP lobbying a surgeon.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Following his patient into hospital.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I know you operated on her aunt.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, I was present, but not called upon.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Look, Lara has been facing an impossible decision.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Now she's made her choice, she can get on with her life.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23We have to respect that. Maintain a distance...

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Is this why she's having it done privately?

0:15:26 > 0:15:29- She has waited long enough... - Or because the NHS won't do it?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32No! It's because she wants to have it done now.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35Not next week, not next year.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38So, if you've finished, I'm preparing for theatre. Come on.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48Akono, I cannot talk to you. Do not call me here again!

0:15:49 > 0:15:52I will see you tonight.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56You can wear mittens if you have to, just don't scratch, OK?

0:15:57 > 0:15:58Heston hasn't called?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- No. No, he has not called. - PHONE RINGS

0:16:05 > 0:16:07And that is not him, either.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Heston!

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Asthmatic toddler.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39I've got an outpatients with Dr Flynn discussing new forms of treatment.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Archie Flynn? Yes, he's ferocious.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43He's OK.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Bit old-fashioned.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Is everything all right with your patient?- Not yet.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50See you at home, yeah?

0:17:01 > 0:17:05Shouldn't be too long now. Miss Swan's on her way down.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08So what kind of man does want to be a gynaecologist?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10It was my mother's specialism.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11And your father?

0:17:13 > 0:17:14He's a lawyer. Divorce.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- You didn't fancy that? - He left when I was three.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Mine went when I was five.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Some blokes just aren't up to it.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Some mothers aren't.- Who'd bring new life into this world?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oocyte cryopreservation.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30What?

0:17:30 > 0:17:35Egg freezing. You can preserve your eggs till you meet someone then find a surrogate.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I've already told Miss Swan I don't want to.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41That way you can have the operation and a realistic chance of having children too.

0:17:41 > 0:17:42I don't want it.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- What if you change your mind? - I won't.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46You're as bad as Mum.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm giving you options.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Just like you would for all your patients?- Yes.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Not just the ones whose aunts you saw die?- I'd do the same for anyone.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I've signed the consent form. - Well, change your mind.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58My decision's made.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00What if it's the wrong one?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Well, it's better than being indecisive.- Is it?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Everything all right?

0:18:09 > 0:18:10We'll be taking you up soon.

0:18:10 > 0:18:16- OK, you're right. Because of your aunt, I am treating you differently. - Actually, we both are.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Oh-ho-ho-ho! What are you doing here?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'm talking to my patient.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22My patient.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Hey, why didn't you call me?

0:18:24 > 0:18:28Should I have? I wasn't sure...

0:18:28 > 0:18:30I want you to leave, now.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Go and get her prepped.

0:18:32 > 0:18:33I'll see you upstairs.

0:18:37 > 0:18:38Well?

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Nothing you can do. Better men than you have failed.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Lara is my patient too,

0:18:44 > 0:18:47and I have as much right to talk to her as you do.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Fine, you talk to her.

0:18:53 > 0:18:54You knew my aunt?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59I was the anaesthetist at Carol's operation.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01And?

0:19:02 > 0:19:05And her boyfriend for a while.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07You went out with Aunt Carol?

0:19:07 > 0:19:10- For a while. - She was the love of his life.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- They let you anaesthetise her? - We'd been finished a long time.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Carol wanted him to do it. - And- I- wanted to.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21We were professionals operating on a friend and a colleague

0:19:21 > 0:19:24and there was no suggestion of any impropriety.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Did you break up with her because she was ill?

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- No.- We don't want you to do something you'll regret.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35But it's better than regretting not doing it, like Aunt Carol.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- No word?- No.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Nothing at all.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Maybe we should ring him?

0:19:51 > 0:19:54No, Doctor Carter will make the right choice.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56We have to have faith.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59When we have faith we always make the right decision.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Now...should I have tea or coffee?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Carol used to talk about you.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22The daughter she could never have.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24I'm going to ask you to count back from ten -

0:20:24 > 0:20:27you probably won't get past five, then when you wake up...

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- It'll all be done? - It'll all be done.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34You'd have been happy not having children?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Well, I haven't had any.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Aunt Carol should have had the operation when she was my age.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Maybe.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45If she had, she'd still be alive.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48Right, then.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50DOOR OPENS

0:20:50 > 0:20:53It's your birthday! You're 25. Is this some kind of deadline?

0:20:53 > 0:20:58- What if it is?- Please put off this decision for at least another year.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01That's exactly what Mum said. Did you ever meet my mum?

0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Yes.- You know she hasn't been out with anyone since Dad left.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Keeps saying, "next year." She's sure she'll meet someone next year.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Well, she was exactly the same with Aunt Carol.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Kept telling her to put off the operation.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17"Why do today what can be put off until tomorrow?"

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Well, I'm sick of her! I don't want children.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24I don't want my eggs preserved. She should have had the operation when she was my age.

0:21:24 > 0:21:29- So you wish you'd never been born? - Than be born with the genes she gave me!

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Is this about punishing your mother? - She shouldn't have had children.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- So you're not going to?- And put them through this? Why would I?

0:21:35 > 0:21:40It's your decision, but you're young! You don't have to do it now. You don't know what's round the corner,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44but to blame your mother for having you is stupid, ungrateful and selfish,

0:21:44 > 0:21:47and Carol would be ashamed of you!

0:21:49 > 0:21:53For what it's worth, she was very proud of you.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Happy birthday, by the way.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04So...counting back from ten.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09And try and remember, scratching will make it worse, yeah?

0:22:10 > 0:22:14I know they're students, but six of them all with...

0:22:14 > 0:22:16You don't want to know.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Did Heston make it back? - No, not yet.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I saw him at the hospital. - How did he get on?

0:22:22 > 0:22:23Not good, I don't think.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Really?- That is a shame.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29I thought I'd cheer him up, make him something special for supper.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think I might do the same for Akono.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Why, what's wrong with him?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Homesick. It will pass.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39The young are resilient.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'm going to try Heston again.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Doctor Carter?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Lara? What happened?

0:22:58 > 0:23:02I changed my mind. Must have been the shock of you shouting at me.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Sorry.- Don't be. Auntie Carol would have done the same.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10- How did Miss Swan react when you said you wouldn't go through with it? - She seemed relieved.

0:23:13 > 0:23:14Seems like a nice boy.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18The sort of man that wants to be a gynaecologist.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I think he likes you.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25He does know everything about me. Wouldn't need to tell him anything.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27See?

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Maybe too much.

0:23:29 > 0:23:30Maybe.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33(I'll leave you to it.)

0:23:33 > 0:23:35And I'll see you in a year.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39What made you change your mind?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Bit of everything, really.- Yeah?

0:23:44 > 0:23:46This looks very special.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49It is just a normal supper.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51It doesn't look like a normal supper.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- This time- I- will say grace.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01Bless, O Father, Thy gifts to our use and us to Thy service.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03For Christ's sake.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Amen.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10In other words, embrace life, people, enjoy new things.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Oh, I am.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16And if I say so myself, it tastes delicious.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Ntwa kgolo ke ya molomo."

0:24:22 > 0:24:23You know Setswana?

0:24:23 > 0:24:26I found it on the internet.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28"The highest form of war is dialogue."

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Anyone is allowed to talk, to express their views,

0:24:31 > 0:24:33but you don't want to hear mine.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35No, that is not true.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37All we ever talk about is food,

0:24:37 > 0:24:39even though I tried to kiss you!

0:24:42 > 0:24:43I think I should leave.

0:24:43 > 0:24:44No.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49The Reverend wanted you to stay here.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51If you leave now, it would be a failure

0:24:51 > 0:24:54and a betrayal of the church's kindness.

0:24:54 > 0:24:59- And that's the only reason why you want me to stay?- Yes.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01- MUMBLES:- Hmm, yes.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05You are right.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Delicious.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Hello, darling.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Did you get my call?

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- My battery ran out.- Oh, no.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28I tried to get Lara to have her eggs frozen.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32- And?- She didn't have the operation. She's going to wait another year.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Oh, Choochoo, that's wonderful!

0:25:37 > 0:25:39You're wonderful.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48I'm not.

0:25:51 > 0:25:54Yes, you are. You are a wonderful person.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Like all God's creatures.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Although you don't like to take compliments.

0:26:00 > 0:26:04Thank you so much for your hospitality...

0:26:04 > 0:26:06your food.

0:26:08 > 0:26:09You do not have to go.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12I think it's best.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Take care, Mrs Tembe.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16And you, Akono.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28I'd like you to leave.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Now.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39Now?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09- You all right?- I'm not sure.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16She's faking it. I can't believe you'd fall for this.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18You think I don't know what you do?

0:27:18 > 0:27:19It's not what you think.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Once you start, you can't stop.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24You are blowing this out of all proportion!

0:27:24 > 0:27:25The wedding's ruined.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Cherry!- This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life!
