0:02:27 > 0:02:28We?

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Last year we signed up when money was a bit tight.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Then we discussed it and you cancelled, didn't you?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41You did cancel, Karen?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43I'm sure I did.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Well, that begs the question, why are they here?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Did you find the bathroom all right?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- They aren't.- Mum?!

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yeah, has my wife has explained

0:04:56 > 0:04:58that there's been a terrible administrative error?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Not on my part.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03And I'm sure we can sort this out.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm sure we can.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09The question is when? I mean, they can hardly camp out in the office

0:05:09 > 0:05:11while I sort this mess out, can they?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, they can hardly stay here.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Ah, well...

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's very interesting you should say that

0:05:17 > 0:05:22because, you see, technically speaking, they can.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27As I have all the required paperwork SIGNED by Mrs Hollins.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32That is, except for the cancellation form

0:05:32 > 0:05:34and I believe, you cashed our cheque?

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- No, know I did not cash... - On 17th Janaury.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well done, Karen.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50The thing is, we don't have enough room here.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54That is indeed the thing.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56You see, at Entente Culturelle,

0:05:56 > 0:06:02we guarantee our clients five-star host family accommodation.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh, well, that is a shame.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I suppose they'll just have to make do here

0:06:08 > 0:06:09until I can sort this mess out.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Unfortunately, it may take a couple of days.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Couple of days?- Cool.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I've cross-checked all the referrals and contacted everyone on the list, bar four,

0:06:29 > 0:06:31who I hope to get hold of today.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Good, let that be a lesson to you.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39You're hovering, Doctor Tyler.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- I wanted your advice about a patient.- Uh-huh.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49A woman, early 50s, middle class, professional...

0:06:49 > 0:06:54- not the obvious type you'd expect.- Expect what?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Was a victim of domestic abuse.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00And you know this for a fact?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02The evidence points that way.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04And she sought your advice?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06No.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11Therein lies your answer. We're physicians, not the police.

0:07:13 > 0:07:14So I shouldn't raise it with her?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17It's NOT your remit.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20You see I don't believe that and I don't think you do either.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23But that's your advice?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Well, my advice to you is

0:07:25 > 0:07:29if I were you and IF I valued my future and my career,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I would think very carefully

0:07:32 > 0:07:38before making slanderous accusations based on half-baked hunches.

0:07:40 > 0:07:41Is that all?

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Yes, Doctor Carter.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55I know that it's a bit small and you will be on a camp bed

0:07:55 > 0:07:57but it's only for a few nights.

0:07:58 > 0:07:59C'est vraiment moche.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Cool room.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Thanks.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Oh, you can't smoke cos my parents...

0:08:13 > 0:08:17I hope you two are not going to be sitting around all day

0:08:17 > 0:08:21cos your dad needs peace and quiet.

0:08:21 > 0:08:26Why don't you take Claudine and Didier out and show them the sights?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'll bung you some cash.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Not that it's really any of your business.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40She's my friend.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Doesn't give you the right to interfere.- Yeah, it does.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47It's what mates do, they interfere.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Probably when they shouldn't.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40The thing is, Mrs Hollins,

0:12:40 > 0:12:44I've received a complaint from Didier and Claudine.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Excuse me?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Here's the nub.

0:12:47 > 0:12:53Entente Culturelle promises its clients a fully-rounded cultural exchange.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55What, and we're not cultural enough for 'em?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Oh, I don't think they mean that at all!

0:13:02 > 0:13:06'and Claudine's is a plastic surgeon.'

0:13:06 > 0:13:09On the bright side, at least they won't be with you for long.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Yeah, how are you getting on with that?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I've a couple of possibilities.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Including a very nice family from Sutton Coldfield,

0:13:18 > 0:13:19who would be very suitable.

0:13:19 > 0:13:25'In the meantime, maybe you could offer them a few entertainments?'

0:13:25 > 0:13:30A taste of life in a traditional English family, as it were?

0:13:30 > 0:13:31Right.

0:13:39 > 0:13:40Hi, Imogen.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23He's up there, doing it?!

0:14:23 > 0:14:26- I'll going to have to change the sheets.- I'm not having this, Jack.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27- Do something.- Like what?

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I don't know, tell them to stop.- You do it! I didn't invite them here.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35"even from my youth, many false opinions for true

0:20:35 > 0:20:40"and that, consequently, what I afterward based on such principles was highly doubtful.

0:20:40 > 0:20:46"And from that time I was convinced of the necessity of undertaking, once in my life,

0:20:46 > 0:20:49"to rid myself of all the opinions I had adopted, and of..."

0:21:14 > 0:21:17"that will arise from the difficulties that have now been raised."

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Right then. OK.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26So, we call these crepes, chicken and mushroom flavour.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28One over here, lovely...

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Can you catch?- Yeah.- Wahey!- Yummy!

0:21:41 > 0:21:46Erm, I only had time for the corner shop. So...

0:21:46 > 0:21:50- beer or white wine? - Erm, wine, thanks.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55I hear Kevin's in the doghouse.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Not you as well!

0:21:57 > 0:21:59He's a victim of the system as much as anything else.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Tell me about it! Choose and book is a flipping nightmare.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Yeah, but it's him that gets it in the neck again.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11They can't see past his cocky-little-sod routine.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15- Underneath it all... - All right, I believe you.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I got some crisps as well, er...

0:22:20 > 0:22:22and somewhere I've got a bowl.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28What we having?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Er...right...

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Erm, you know what,

0:22:42 > 0:22:45maybe I'll just pick up some chips on my way to Craft Group.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Right, well, I'm sorry if I'm not up to your expectations.

0:22:50 > 0:22:55I was expecting a nice meal with someone I like.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56It's not complicated.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58If an empty fridge is going to put you off,

0:22:58 > 0:23:01I don't think this is ever going to work!

0:23:01 > 0:23:04It's not the contents of the fridge that's putting me off,

0:23:04 > 0:23:05it's the attitude.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11I'm sorry, I'm just not used to this relationship stuff.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Right, thanks. Well, at least I know where I stand.- Mand!

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Mand, that's not what I meant.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20Erm, what I meant was...

0:23:22 > 0:23:23..you know that I really like you

0:23:23 > 0:23:28but most of my relationships, they've been...

0:23:28 > 0:23:32more, "Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" than...you know.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36So I'm just having a bit of trouble

0:23:36 > 0:23:38getting my head round coupledom again.

0:23:40 > 0:23:46OK, well, tell you what, you take some time to get your head round it

0:23:46 > 0:23:50and if you decide to act your age. Give me a call, yeah?

0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Yes.- Working late?

0:24:39 > 0:24:44This hovering is becoming a bit of a habit, Doctor Tyler.

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Yeah, sorry.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Look, I just wanted you to know that if you want to talk...

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- I beg your pardon?- Well, not to me but to Elaine or one of the...

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Do you imagine, I have any idea what you're wittering about?

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Look it's nothing to be ashamed of...- I'd stop now, if I were you.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04Would you, though? If it were me or Freya or anyone else?

0:25:04 > 0:25:07- How dare you...?- These things escalate. Last time, it was a cut on the head...

0:25:07 > 0:25:11One step too far, Doctor Tyler!

0:25:11 > 0:25:13- I'm issuing you with a written warning.- What?!

0:25:13 > 0:25:17Backdated, with detailed notes why you are not fit for this job!

0:25:17 > 0:25:18You can't...

0:25:18 > 0:25:21One whiff of this to anyone and not only will you be fired,

0:25:21 > 0:25:23but I will make sure that you are struck off.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Now, GET OUT!

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I thought the place was empty. You're not going to give me any trouble?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34I always said I would go back to work as soon as he was born.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Not this soon, though.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40Oh, hi, Doctor Elaine Cassidy.

0:26:40 > 0:26:41I assumed Harry was alone?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44How can you be so dismissive? This is our son we're talking about.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47I would stop right there, if I were you.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50I'm going to walk through that door and you're not going to stop me.
