0:00:30 > 0:00:32"Last Friday, Miss Fit and I
0:00:32 > 0:00:35"had our first social engagement as an official deuxsome.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39"When we received an invitation to dine at the Newly Weds.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45"While Mrs Newly Wed produced a vegetarian feast..."
0:00:46 > 0:00:49I'm fine! It's fine!
0:00:49 > 0:00:53"Mr NW uncorked wine and followed orders to fetch and carry,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55"leading me to wonder..."
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Jimmi!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59"While there's no longer such a thing
0:00:59 > 0:01:02"as a typical heterosexual partnership,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05"there remains a gendered division of labour
0:01:05 > 0:01:08"where the male is delineated certain tasks
0:01:08 > 0:01:09"and the female others."
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Stanford Avenue, please.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19"Heterosexual couples occupy a world
0:01:19 > 0:01:22"in which gender differences are still widely believed in
0:01:22 > 0:01:24"and reflected in popular culture.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27"However, what happens in relationships
0:01:27 > 0:01:30"where these off-the-shelf roles do not apply?
0:01:32 > 0:01:36"In same sex partnerships, there is no gender basis
0:01:36 > 0:01:39"for deciding who should peg out the washing or mend a fuse.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41"Raising the question -
0:01:41 > 0:01:44"Do heterosexuals have something to learn from lesbian
0:01:44 > 0:01:48"and gay couples about achieving equality in their relationships?"
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Ah.- I thought you were in Houston till the end of the week.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04The conference was cancelled. Hotel food poisoning.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05I flew in on the red eye.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hello, angel.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10You must be exhausted. We'll let you have a shower and a sleep.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Just a shower. They flew me first class. Beds included.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I was hoping we could have some breakfast.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Jean Luc's got a piano lesson. - When did he start piano?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Today. In 35 minutes. We're late.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Isn't he a bit young?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30The Suzuki Method believe in starting as soon as possible. Besides, for the first few months,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32he's just going go be observing the older ones learn.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Value for money.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Says the woman who travels first class.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Well, what time do you get back?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Teatime.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45We've got club today.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Oh, couldn't you skip it? Oh, just this once.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I can't leave Mellie holding the fort.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52She would never forgive me.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Look, relax. You deserve it.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56We'll see you later.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06'Following the success of The Great British Bake Off,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09'we talk to a housewife who turned cupcakes into a multi...'
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Nope.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- What are you up to? - 'I'm seeing patients.'
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Anything interesting?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Athlete's foot, suspicious mole and a sinus infection.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Sounds riveting compared to my day.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Ha-ha. Why don't you do something with Joe?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What? You mean like go to the park and feed the ducks
0:03:36 > 0:03:38with the other brain-dead mothers?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I was wondering if you'd like to take us to lunch.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Oh, I've got a partner's meeting with Julia.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Looks like that's the end of my hope for any adult conversation for today.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54If it's adult company you want, why not go to that playgroup at the university?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I'm sure you'll find a superior class of mother and baby there.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I would sooner shave my head.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Look, I understand you feeling apprehensive.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- I beg your pardon?- It's new to you. You're out of your depth a bit.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I am nothing of the sort.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And it would be good for Joe to socialise
0:04:09 > 0:04:13with the other kids. Remember what you said about child development?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- PHONE GOES DEAD - Zara?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The sooner I get back to work, the better.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Oh. Joe.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Mummy didn't mean it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Did she?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Is it your first time?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I'm just browsing.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And what's my name?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11His name is Joe. I'm Zara Carmichael.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm Waldo's mummy. Melanie.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17We're a friendly bunch with a varied and stimulating programme
0:05:17 > 0:05:18for both parent and child.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Stimulation is what I'm looking for.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22We're doing baby Spanish today.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And later, we've an expert coming to give a talk
0:05:25 > 0:05:28on postnatal depression.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Oh, no, please.- See you inside.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I need a volunteer. Heston's giving a talk on postnatal depression
0:05:37 > 0:05:39at the university mother and baby group.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- But for obvious reasons... - Mothers and brats, not my bag.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Why doesn't that surprise me?
0:05:45 > 0:05:46I'll do it.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Seriously, I was thinking of doing female mental health for my GPSI.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Oh, great. In which case, you can do it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- What?- Good experience. - But I'm hardly an expert.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Have to do some revision then, won't you?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Don't worry, I'm sure there's an app you can download.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Good PR as well.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Make sure that you don't let us down.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11# If you're happy and you know it
0:06:11 > 0:06:13# And you really want to show it
0:06:13 > 0:06:15# If you're happy and you know it
0:06:15 > 0:06:17# Clap your hands. #
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Gluten-free flapjack?- No, thanks.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No wonder you got your pre-baby body back so quickly.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- If you'd seen my pre-baby body, you wouldn't say that. - Yum. Mellie's flapjacks.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Mmm. Sorry. I'm Jean Luc's Dad. Rich.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Zara.- Rich is the heart and soul of club.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Before he joined, we were just a regular playgroup.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Now we look at ourselves as more of an infant education programme.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Did you know that 80% of brain potential is developed
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- by the age of three? - Actually I am...
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It may look like normal play but, trust me,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56all the activities here are child-centric,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59designed to maximise your baby's early IQ.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It is very impressive.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, what do you say? Will you give us a go?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Oh, my goodness.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Hi.- Hi. Wow, what a surprise.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's not a problem, is it? Hello, darling.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Err. Mira, Jean Luc. Quien es este?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Se trata de la momia.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Why are you talking Spanish? - By the time he is six,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31his brain will have has lost most of its capacity for language.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34OK. With the right stimuli now, he could be bilingual
0:07:34 > 0:07:36by the time he starts school.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37I don't speak Spanish.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40You'll talk to him in English.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And when we're together?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I will converse with you in English and with Jean Luc in Spanish.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Won't that be confusing for him? - Must you always be negative?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52It's just that I don't see how...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Can everyone grab a cushion and get ready for group song?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59OK. Look, you know what, we'll talk about this later, OK?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Quieres cantar? Come on.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06# The doors on the bus go open and shut
0:08:06 > 0:08:09# Open and shut Open and shut
0:08:09 > 0:08:12# The doors on the bus go open and shut
0:08:12 > 0:08:16# All day long
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Waldo's mummy. Wipers.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21# The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
0:08:21 > 0:08:23# Swish, swish, swish Swish, swish, swish
0:08:23 > 0:08:27# The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
0:08:27 > 0:08:29# All day long
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Joe's mummy. Horn.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35# The horn on the bus goes... #
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Beep, beep.- Honk?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- Honk.- Blare?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Sorry, I don't know the words and I never use public transport.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Hey, you. Thanks for dinner.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52A good night had by all.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55So, I'm reading on One Frank Female.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58"Over nut roast and fine wine,
0:08:58 > 0:09:03"Mr and Mrs NW pondered such existential questions
0:09:03 > 0:09:06"such as, who should take the car for its MOT?"
0:09:06 > 0:09:09It was not a dig at your dinner party.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It's just a launch pad for a discussion
0:09:12 > 0:09:14on modern manners and mores.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Jimmi comes across as henpecked. I'm made out to be an airhead.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Thank you very much. - It's dramatic licence.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Yeah, you know that, but what about everyone else? - No-one knows it's you.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27My friends. Colleagues.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- What does Mandy think of this? - She's fine with it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Oh, she's fine having her new relationship
0:09:32 > 0:09:35used for the entertainment of your readers.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Think about what you're doing.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43# La la la-la La la la-la
0:09:43 > 0:09:45# La la la-la la... #
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. Sudden wave of jet lag.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Been somewhere nice?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh. Business, not pleasure.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57After a while, every hotel/office looks the same,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- whichever city you're in. - What do you do?
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I lecture in international relations.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And you still find time for playgroup?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Please don't say, "I don't know how you do it."
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Because I don't.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I bring home the bacon and he brings up our child.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Modern family.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Economic necessity.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I can earn three times what he made as a sociology lecturer.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22How does he reconcile that to his male pride?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh, see for yourself.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27# De colores
0:10:27 > 0:10:33# De colores se visten los campos en primavera... #
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Rich didn't give up work. He just changed careers.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41He says parenting is a profession, it's not a lifestyle choice.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46My partner could do with taking a leaf out of his book.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Level salaries,
0:10:48 > 0:10:50but I'm the designated carer simply by virtue of my gender.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yeah. I'm very lucky.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Everybody.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56He certainly throws himself into it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59# La la la-la La la la-la
0:10:59 > 0:11:04# La la la-la la la. #
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Will you excuse me a moment? I've just got to go and phone my office.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I've told Nigel I'm taking the rest of the week off.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Can you do that?- Just done it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Conference is cancelled, I'm owed plenty of holiday.- Great.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What will you do with yourself?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, I thought I'd spend some time with Jean Luc.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That's rather short notice.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I didn't realise I had to book an appointment.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I just mean that his schedule's packed this week.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Surely he can spare a couple of days.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- He'd miss his frogspawn passing out parade. - They're graduating to tadpoles.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54He'd miss his movement and music display. Friday's Kumon maths.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57And Waldo's birthday party.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00He'd be devastated if Jean Luc wasn't there.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Of course, you're more than welcome to come.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Melanie. Would you mind?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Of course.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Oh, dear. I'm getting the look.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Stop it, Rich. I'm serious.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Yes, so am I. We agreed. Equal status.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Your career and mine.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Yes, but...- How would you feel
0:12:22 > 0:12:25if I waltzed in and asked you to rearrange your work?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's not the same.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Look. This may look easy,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34but Jean Luc is the product of intensive planning and organisation
0:12:34 > 0:12:35behind the scenes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38He is a child. Not a production.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Yeah, he's a child who thrives on routine.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43He will find it confusing and upsetting
0:12:43 > 0:12:45if you wade in and disrupt it suddenly.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Look, you have to trust me on this.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51OK? I know what I'm doing.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Hi.- Hi.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Oh. Four hours and counting. I quit.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- You quit?- Mm-hmm.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I told the woman in the agency that it's my last day.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I have had it with that woman.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Good on you.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'm starving, though. What's for lunch?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22OK. We have got cheese and onion pasties,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25crisps, couple of doughnuts.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30They were doing a meal deal at the bakery.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I have just spent the entire morning doing a cardiac health clinic.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- Diet cola?- Ah. Physician, heal thyself.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Hey. Don't you go blogging about this,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44my professional reputation will be in tatters.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46No blogging.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I mean it.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50Scout's honour.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Are you finding everything you need? - Mm-hmm.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Oh. Not breast-feeding? - It's all mine.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I'm getting Joe used to the bottle before I go back to work.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I swore I wouldn't go back until Waldo was weaned.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And here I am. Three years later.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18You're still...
0:14:18 > 0:14:22I've tried. But he's addicted to his milikins.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm in awe...
0:14:25 > 0:14:27of your productivity.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So, when do you have to go back to work?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- As soon as possible.- Oh, dear.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Needs must. Mine, mostly.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- How old is he?- Four weeks.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- All go according to birth plan? - Not exactly.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Empathies. I started out water birth.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Ended up forceps, ventouse, and third-degree tears.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I haven't dared look,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54but hubby says it's like the Bayeux Tapestry down there.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Inside joke. He's dean of medieval history.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Could be worse.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Mariana Prescott's hub's a geographer,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04He's re-christened hers Mariana's trench.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06How very impolite of him.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- Are you still sitting on a rubber ring?- Look, no offence, but just because we've both given birth,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14doesn't mean we should share details about our vaginas.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think it's time I was going.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Not leaving already?
0:15:18 > 0:15:22We're just about to start tiempo de numeros!
0:15:25 > 0:15:30So, now you're gainfully unemployed,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33are you going to try for this job at The Mill?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I don't know. Do you not think living together
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and working together would be a bit weird?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It's only temporary. We could give it a go.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Yeah, but, my personal life's already all over the internet,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- I don't want my work life as well. - All right, all right.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Yeah. I got a royal ticking off from Cherry this morning.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Hmm. It was a bit close to the bone, Freya.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Do you mind me writing about us?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00I feel exposed.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- I'm sorry. I didn't... - No, no, no, no. Don't.
0:16:05 > 0:16:10Your blog and the way you burn with things to say,
0:16:10 > 0:16:14it's one of things I love about you.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- Did you just say love?- Although, you could afford to tone it down a bit.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Mand, did you just say love?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I didn't mean it.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thank you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33It just slipped out. Is that bad?
0:16:42 > 0:16:47ALL: Hola. Me llamo Senor Dedo.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Como estas hoy?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51ALL: Como estas hoy?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Vale. Vamos a contar.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03- Uno.- Uno.- Dos.- Dos.- Tres.- Tres.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07What are you doing here?
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I could ask you the same question. Nice puppet.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Unless you want Senor Dedo surgically removed from your backside,
0:17:15 > 0:17:16I suggest you answer the question.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I'm giving a talk on postnatal depression.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22You?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Yeah, I know.- Well, good timing.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- I'm postnatal and I'm getting more depressed by the minute. - And I am way out of my comfort zone.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Join the club.- But seeing as you're here and you're way more exper...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Come on. I don't do mothers and babies.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39It's about time you learnt, then, isn't it?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Besides, it's a doddle.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43All you have to do is compliment their snotty-nosed brats.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Putty in your hands.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Vale. Vamos a contar.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Jimmi, have you actually read it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Why are we even having this conversation
0:17:54 > 0:17:56if you haven't bothered to read it?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Yeah, OK, I'll speak to you later. Bye.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Hello, Mrs Newly Wed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Sounds like I missed out on a great evening.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I didn't know you were an expert vegetarian cook.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11You must give me your nut roast recipe.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You can never have too many.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Yeah. Sure.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Hi, I'm Dr Tyler from The Mill Health Centre.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Hello, young lady.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- You going to say hello? - Hello. You've got lovely hair.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Don't be shy about your butterfly. It's nice.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Hello.- Hi.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Listen, love.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- About the blog. I'm sorry. I was out of order.- Don't worry about it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I shouldn't have made you out to be an airhead.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Well, apparently, you didn't.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52They think I'm a cross between Martha Stewart
0:18:52 > 0:18:54and Heston Blumenthal.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Even so. You were right.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58It's not fair on...
0:18:58 > 0:19:02not fair on my mates and especially not fair on Mandy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So, One Frank Female, I think,
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- is going to take a back seat for a while. - BEEP
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Ah! Ah-ha. An email asking for my gazpacho recipe. Ha-ha.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Right, well, that was it. So...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Bye.- Bye.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I can't stress enough that the most important step
0:19:27 > 0:19:31in treating PND is recognising the problem
0:19:31 > 0:19:33and then taking action to deal with it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37The support and understanding of your partner, your family
0:19:37 > 0:19:41and your friends can play a big part in your recovery.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I notice you haven't touched on PPND.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I'm not sure I'm familiar with...
0:19:47 > 0:19:48There's a surprise.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52A shining example of NHS gender discrimination
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- and a lack of resources.- Do you mean paternal postnatal depression?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Oh, right. Male PND.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Yeah, shoot. What do you want to know?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04An article in the International Review of Psychiatry
0:20:04 > 0:20:07attributed psychiatric morbidity amongst fathers
0:20:07 > 0:20:08during the postnatal period
0:20:08 > 0:20:13to changes in gender roles in the last 30 years.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15What's your opinion?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, it is more widely recognised, nowadays.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25No. No, I'm asking, do you agree that PND in both sexes
0:20:25 > 0:20:29is similarly psycho-social in origin?
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I'm not sure if I'm qualified to give an opinion on that.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36How many patients have you treated personally with PPND?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Personally?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41None.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- And how long have you been in practice?- I'm still a GP registrar.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53Oh, in other words, you aren't really qualified at all.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01- Thank you for coming. Very informative.- My pleasure.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07He's got a temperature. Do you think he's coming down with something?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Could be. I took him to a measles party last week.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11A measles party?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14In that case, he should be quarantined.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Spare us the nanny-state propaganda.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20We all know that the vaccination programme is a major source
0:21:20 > 0:21:22of income for the primary care sector.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Measles is a very serious disease which kills and maims
0:21:25 > 0:21:27thousands of children every year.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Measles? Who's got measles?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31He might have measles.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Get your diseased child away from my baby!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Well, if it isn't One Frank Female.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I loved today's blog, by the way. Very thought-provoking.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- You read it? - A tip-off from my niece.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49It did my street cred no end of good when I told her I knew the blogger.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I can't believe strangers are talking about my blog.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I don't see why. There's a real gap in the market
0:21:54 > 0:21:58for fresh, honest writing. Can't wait for the next instalment.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Thank you!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Overreacting!
0:22:01 > 0:22:04What sort of ignoramus brings an infectious child
0:22:04 > 0:22:06into a room full of babies?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Measles is a normal childhood disease, OK?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11It toughens their immune system.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You stupid man. What about side effects?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Blindness, pneumonia, hepatitis, meningitis?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Although, thankfully, those side effects are rare.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So there's no need to panic.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26No need to panic! Joe is four weeks old and premature.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Measles could be fatal.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Joe will still have residual immunity from you.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- I'm sure he'll be fine. - What about the older ones?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Keep them at home. If they show any symptoms, contact your GP.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That's it? We just have to wait and see.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45No. You don't. Jean Luc hasn't got measles.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48He was vaccinated six months ago.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04PHONE RINGS
0:23:11 > 0:23:13When I took him for his check-up.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15The doctor said they were due. I said "do it."
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Oh. Without telling me?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19You'd already made your views quite plain.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- I meant, without discussing it. - I didn't have time to discuss it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I barely have time to talk to you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28We talk daily.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Skype doesn't count.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35And when I am at home, I feel like a visitor in my own family.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Now you're just being paranoid.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You know Jean Luc's first words? Bye bye.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah. He was polysyllabic at 11 months.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, that makes it all right then, doesn't it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Have you any idea how bitter you sound?
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Equal partnership. Your words.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I want my fair share of his childhood.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I'm going to take a sabbatical until he starts school.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Now, if we tighten our belts and you go back to work,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06we can manage on what you earn for a while.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11Oh. Now it's coming out. So you're jealous of my parenting skills.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Parenting skills?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15You deliberately exposed your kid to a killer disease.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Not to mention the children around him.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Waldo isn't vaccinated. I thought everyone else would be.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26You're just jealous because Jean Luc is the most advanced child in his peer group.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30In my opinion, he's hyperactive and overstimulated.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32No-one is asking you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Do you think a few weeks of being a parent makes you an expert?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39No, but eight years as a doctor hasn't gone amiss
0:24:39 > 0:24:41and you don't need to be a GP to know
0:24:41 > 0:24:44that babies don't need all this stimulation.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48They need food and warmth and love.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52It's been an entertaining few hours, but I won't be rushing back.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58Oh, and I also know that it's impossible for two blue-eyed parents
0:24:58 > 0:25:00to have a brown-eyed child.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08"A wise woman once said, 'Learn the wisdom of compromise,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11"'for it is better to bend a little than to break.'
0:25:11 > 0:25:16"Is this prerequisite when a relationship advances into a union?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19"The act of joining together to form a whole."
0:25:19 > 0:25:21What was all that about?
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Ah. Mummy just told that smelly man a big, fat lie.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29But he deserved it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Julia's going to kill me. He thought I was a complete amateur.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Your talk was competent, if a little uninspired.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40And it was me behaving like some deranged tiger mother,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42whilst you were dealing with a very tricky situation
0:25:42 > 0:25:44with a certain amount of authority.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Thanks. I think.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48So you'll tell Julia?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Hell, no. Listen, Tyler.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55No-one, and I mean no-one, finds out that I was here today.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56And if they do,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01I have ways to hurt you that you cannot even imagine.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Do I make myself clear?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- Crystal.- Good.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Where are you headed? - We're off to feed the ducks.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Can I come?- If you must.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21"Does being a couple mean you have to put your single self
0:26:21 > 0:26:22"on the shelf?"
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Oh.- Hey.- You're early.- Yeah.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32What?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- We went to feed the ducks. - Did you have a good time?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40It was lovely.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Not one word.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54"Sometimes a little bending is all that's needed. Then again,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58"at what point in a relationship does the art of compromise
0:26:58 > 0:26:59"become compromising?"
0:27:06 > 0:27:08What's happened to our generator?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's not working. We've got no computer, no phones.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I am not having phone sex with you.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Oh, go on. You know you want to.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I've always gone for older men.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20They know what they want and how to get it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Everybody's always picking on you, wanting to start a fight.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Everything I've got, I've had to take, and I'm not stopping now.
