It Had to be You Doctors

Good morning. I'm Doctor Zafir, the consultant paediatrician.

What happened to Doctor Shah?

I'm the day shift.

Of course. Sorry, we're both tired.

Of course.

Now, let's have a look at you, young man.

Have you spoken to Daniel?

Still can't get through. What if...

The baby's still alive.

That's all the receptionist could tell us but least it's something.

I can't imagine what they're going through.

Hmm.

Kind of puts all the wedding nerves into perspective.

Do you want to still go through with it today?

I mean, no-one would be surprised if we put it back.

Do you want to put it back?

No, I think Daniel would want us to carry on.

Yeah. I know Zara would want us to, "Get the darn thing over with."

THEY SNIGGER

Well, better get on with it then. Oh, what about your dress?

Don't worry, my dress will be fine.

Now, are you going to be able to find a best man in time?

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about that.

It's encouraging that he survived his first night.

-Yeah, that's what I've been saying.

-But?

I know you're both doctors,

so you wouldn't thank me for sugar-coating it.

-I don't know about that.

-How bad is he?

It's hard to say at this stage.

I am concerned there might be some respiratory distress

and he's struggling to feed and so has a nasogastric tube in place.

But apart from breathing and eating, he's just fine?

We'll run some tests and then we should have a clearer picture later today.

I'm afraid that's all I can tell you at the moment.

We understand. Thank you.

CLATTERING

Here she is!

# Here comes the bride All dressed in white! #

Did the stain-remover do the trick?

It's all right, it's all going to be fine.

I've got tons of dresses to choose from.

You know what she's really saying, don't you?

We're in good hands. We should trust them.

Meanwhile we have to sit here and wait to see if he dies or not.

What's the good of being a doctor?

I'm guessing there's a reason neither of us went into paediatrics.

-Hell, no. I'd have been awful. Can you imagine?

-Hmm.

Just wish there was SOMETHING we could do.

There is something you could do.

Better than just sitting here.

And you should keep your supply up, just in case.

Just in case?

What? In case he survives?!

-Zara...

-No, Daniel, you tell me.

If you had to place a bet on his chances, what would you reckon? 50-50?

More? Less?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Hey, guys, sorry, hope you don't mind. I tried to call.

Aren't you supposed to be doing something today?

-Nothing that can't wait.

-Don't worry, he's not dead yet.

-They've taken him away for some tests.

-Well, can I get you both a coffee?

Good idea. Why don't we all go? Get some fresh air.

I'd rather stay here.

Just in case.

-Erm, we'll stay.

-No, go on, you go.

It'll give me a chance to sample the delights

of the double-action suction pump.

I just hope he's not wasting my time.

-I'm really sorry to let you down, mate.

-It's not a problem.

Franklyn's been desperate to be best man anyway.

Man, he'll be great.

Long as he stays sober!

Yeah, I'm not worried about Franklyn.

How've you been coping?

Fine. Yeah, my bit was over nine months ago. Well, eight.

Zara and the baby...

have gone through hell.

No-one expects you to be fine, Daniel.

I never had this time with Isabelle. I had no idea how it felt.

This...tiny life.

If I could take away his suffering, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Well, if he's anything like his parents, he'll be a fighter.

He'll pull through.

I couldn't take my eyes off him, all night.

Have you thought about any names for him yet?

No...

we'll...let everyone know as soon as we decide.

As soon as there's any news.

Well, call me. I mean it.

Good luck.

Yeah, you too.

You can't get married in just any old thing, Cherry, it's your wedding day.

-There's loads of nice ones in here.

-Ugh, and some really grim ones.

Look, this one, it's kind of, like, off white.

Look, there's a little bit of lace.

It's an undergarment! You can't go getting married in your smalls.

I will if I have to. Will you be a bit more constructive, please, Mum?

I know you'll pooh-pooh the idea, but...

you're welcome to get married in my wedding dress.

Ah, thank you, that's really kind of you...

It's a little bit...'80s.

-Oh, is it that bad?

-Total meringue.

Suit yourself. I thought it was, "just a dress".

You looked lovely in it, Mum, you know that you did, but...

It's just a shame you didn't get married in a more stylish era.

I've got it!

-What?

-Malcolm!

Malcolm!

Look, don't beat yourself up, OK?

Read somewhere that it can take a while to get the hang of it.

-The hang of what?

-The pump.

I've done it already and gave it to the nurse.

Thank you for your faith in me.

I wasn't...

-I just read somewhere it can be difficult.

-It was.

It was difficult and ridiculous

and I managed to make all of two ounces.

That's great.

It will be.

Jimmi was asking about names.

We can't even possibly begin to think about that yet.

-That's what I told him.

-What are you asking me for then?

Sorry.

This is all my fault.

I should've taken more care.

Those stupid shoes.

-This hasn't got anything to do with high heels.

-You don't know that.

The other day I fell over.

Could have been that, couldn't it?

Shouldn't think so. Why didn't you tell me?

I thought it was nothing.

I checked the heartbeat.

Everything was OK.

It's not your fault, OK? It's nobody's fault.

What do you think?

Your nanna would be SO proud.

Kate Middleton, eat your heart out!

Listen, man, thanks for stepping in. It means a lot.

You don't think she's had an accident, do you?

Nothing fatal, I mean, like, a bump or something.

What are you going to do about the speeches?

-There's going to be time after the photographs, but...

-How long have I known you, Jimmi?

It's all in here already.

Nothing too racy though?

Chill out, mate. It's going to be lush.

You're not getting drunk already?

-It's just a nip, steel the nerves. Do you want some?

-No.

-Hm?

-No. No.

-Excuse me, the bride's arrived.

-Thank you.

What's the matter, love?

I just want to remember this moment.

You will.

Even when I've wanted to murder your mother,

I still remember...that moment.

Seriously, Cherry, there will be times when you hate each other's guts...

but it doesn't mean you don't love them more than anything else in the world.

Apart from your kids.

Thank you, Daddy.

You ready?

Yeah.

Please stand for the bride.

OK.

# Grow old along with me... #

CONGREGATION GASPS

'She looks gorgeous!'

# We will be as one

# God bless our love

# God bless our love

# Grow old... #

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Deborah,

I'm the superintendant registrar and with me is Joanna the registrar.

On behalf of Jimmi and Cherry, I'd like to welcome you all here today

to share with them in this wedding ceremony.

Jimmi, please repeat after me, "I do solemnly declare..."

"I do solemnly declare..."

-"That I know not..."

-"That I know not..."

-"Of any lawful impediment..."

-"Of any lawful impediment..."

-"Why I, Jimmi Clay..."

-"Why I, Jimmi Clay..."

"May not be joined in matrimony to Cherry Malone."

"May not be joined in matrimony to Cherry Malone."

Cherry, please repeat after me, "I do solemnly declare..."

"I do solemnly declare..."

-"Of any lawful impediment..."

"May not be joined in matrimony to Jimmi Clay."

"May not be joined in matrimony to Jimmi Clay."

Can we now have the rings?

THEY LAUGH

# Grow old along with me

# Whatever fate decrees... #

It gives me great pleasure to declare that you are now husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

CONGREGATION CHEER AND APPLAUD

PHONE BEEPS

It's Joe.

I texted him before. He'll be worried, I should...

-Answer it then!

-Yeah, OK.

Outside.

Yeah.

DOOR OPENING

Here we go. Baby Carmichael.

-Did the tests go well?

-The results may take a while yet, I'm afraid.

The consultant will be around to see you later.

Hello, Baby.

'..chucked him out!' THEY LAUGH

So, Mum offered me the '80s meringue

but I didn't want to wear that.

Julia?

Yes, yes, the dress was your mum's?

No, it was my nan's.

Elaine, what you up to?

Er, I was just, erm, Julia?

Well, erm, OK, it's just that we thought the table plan could do with a bit of a tweak because of...

Do you know how many hours I've spent on this table plan?

Sometimes people just need a little nudge.

It's OK, we'll put it back the way it was.

No, you know what? Leave it how it is.

And, actually, while you're at it...

maybe we could give Mandy and Freya a nudge.

-I want everyone to be happy today.

-Ah, sweetie.

Go on then, lead on.

THEY GIGGLE

So, then, we all ended up living in same house over Christmas.

You might be able to get something funny out of that.

Though it wasn't very funny at the time.

Having said that, it worked out for the best because we've got our dream house now, so...

You're not going to be writing any of this down?

-It's all going in, mate, all going in.

-HE BURPS

Sorry about that.

I don't know if you heard me,

all those times when I said I wasn't sure if I wanted a baby,

but you do know I was joking, don't you?

No, you know I wasn't.

I wasn't sure.

I'm a very selfish person.

Unfortunately for you.

And, also, I get things wrong.

Cos you see, I though you were...

..were just going to be a baby.

Like all the others.

But you're not, are you?

Cos you're mine.

I saw you checking me out back there.

Do you like my girlie frock?

I was actually watching the bride and groom.

You just got in the way.

I sent you a text earlier. I don't know if you got it or...?

Yeah, I got it.

Oh, the strong silent type? I like it!

So, how about that date?

Yeah, I don't think so, sorry.

I'm getting a few mixed messages here. It's...

I really like you. Like, REALLY like you but, erm...

Oh, I'm not really up for a relationship right...

Right, OK, look...

Well, maybe next time that happens,

you could text back and say, "No thanks".

Save me looking stupid, eh?

-Look, I didn't...

-Look, I'll see you around.

Great. Great.

Long time no see.

-Hello, Heston.

-Erm, there's obviously been a mistake,

I shall move, of course.

That's very good of you.

Well, that means turfing someone out of their seat, so...

Do you think we could just be grown-up about it?

(I think so.)

Typical Cherry!

Everyone has to get together.

Yep, I'd kill her if it wasn't her wedding day.

Now we'll have to sit here in awkward silence.

Or...we could play Snog Marry Avoid.

-Snog Marry Avoid with this lot?

-Yep.

Pass the time till we get some cake!

How about...

Red hair, blue dress?

Ooh, not noticed her. Not too bad at all.

Marry?

Snog. For starters.

What about that guy, the guy next to her?

Avoid.

Like the plague.

-Hey, what's the matter?

-There's no news.

We've just been talking.

Good.

How was Joe?

Yeah, he wishes he could be here, sends his love.

That's a nice name, isn't it? Joe.

Joe Carmichael.

Better than Lysander. And Lucius.

-I still rather like Lucius.

-No!

Joe is perfect.

Yeah, it suits him.

I should phone Joe and tell him.

No, stay.

We should be together, as long as...

Ah, my old friend, prawn cocktail(!)

Too simple for you, I suppose?

Complexity isn't everything.

-Does the sauce put you off?

-No, not at all, I love it.

Ketchup and mayo. Nothing too unnecessary.

Roast pork for the main. Another crowd-pleaser.

I wish they'd be a bit more adventurous.

-Remember we had venison at our wedding.

-Really?

Yeah, there was a mix-up with the deliveries.

Really liked it, actually, it came with a sweet, sticky sauce thing.

Port and redcurrant?

Actually, I do a marvellous medallions of venison with cranberry sauce.

Not had it since.

I think we've done everyone in here now, except for each other

but OBVIOUSLY you'd avoid me, if Cherry would let you!

I wouldn't be too sure about that.

I've been thinking about this date.

It's just a date, isn't it?

It's not like we're moving in together or buying cats.

Definitely just a date.

No cats involved.

You free next week?

-No sign of him.

-Have you tried calling him?

Yeah, his phone's switched off.

-I can't keep my dad waiting any longer.

-Well, maybe we'll have to skip Franklyn's bit.

Tell everyone he didn't have time to prepare.

What with Daniel and stuff going on.

Yeah, it might be for the best.

'One, two, one, two.'

Testing. Testing. Can you hear me?

ALL: Yes!

I think it's too late.

-It's not his turn, Jimmi, you need to tell him.

-I think it's too late!

I'd like to tell you all a little bit about my best mate, Dr Jimmi Clay!

THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD

He's always been into medicine.

His sister Kim used to have this little nurse's outfit

and she used to make us be the patients.

It was all very innocent...BACK THEN!

Now Jimmi's got a proper grown-up nurse

to operate on his VITAL organs!

BRIDESMAID LAUGHS

Thank you.

Jimmi's been married before, of course.

That was a big mistake!

Amanda was old enough to be his mum.

BRIDESMAID LAUGHS

And crazy enough to be his dad!

He's much better off with Cherry.

At least her age is SLIGHTLY less than her bra size.

Although her bra size has got to be bigger than Amanda's!

That's another bonus!

Jimmi can't be the easiest guy to live with, mind.

What with all his funny little quirks.

Every time him and Cherry start to get down and dirty,

-he's got to stop to wash his...

-Franklyn!

FRANKLYN SNIGGERS

Not like my man Kevin there.

He will put it about with anything.

LOOK AT HIM!

Trying to pull a new lass

when he's just had Freya's name tattooed on his privates!

Just goes to show you, the fickleness of the human heart!

Oh, pardon me!

Ah! Lovely.

Well, thank you very much, Franklyn. That was enough.

Still no news, I'm afraid,

but I thought you might like to try feeding him?

Daniel, can do it.

He's got a steadier hand than me.

Perfected doing years of lip injections.

You go first.

What kind of doctor am I?

You're not a doctor today.

You're his mother.

Now then, Mum, this is how you do it.

-Please.

-You said he was just some bloke you worked with.

Yeah, he is. I didn't mean to sleep with him.

So it was just a one-off thing?

Yeah, totally.

Sort of.

-Three times but...

-I don't understand.

Three separate one-offs or...?

Three times in one night.

No wonder you blanked me!

Must've thought I'd spoil your fun.

I didn't enjoy it.

I don't think.

-The truth is I...can't remember anything, if I'm honest.

-Honest?

You wouldn't know honest if you...

slept with it three times!

Marina...

..I miss you.

I thought you were going to say you hated me.

I miss you too.

It can't be like last time.

It won't be.

I promise.

I know it's not going to be easy but...

if I can't make it with you I can't make it with anyone.

I don't want to lose you again.

But why, why get a tattoo of my name?

I thought we decided it was both a bad idea.

We did. It was! Look, I don't remember getting it done, all right?

-You need to get rid of it.

-Obviously!

And I will as soon as Daniel's back at his clinic.

-Good!

-Good.

Whereabouts on your privates did you get it done?

-Please don't tell me it's on your...?

-Don't be stupid!

-It's on my lower back.

-You mean your bum.

-Let me have a look.

-You are NOT seeing it.

It's a tattoo of my name.

I think I've got a right to have a look.

Besides, it's not as though I haven't seen it all before.

Drop 'em!

-All right.

-Come on!

Unbelievable.
