0:00:26 > 0:00:28Who is it?

0:00:28 > 0:00:29It's Melanie, Mum. Open the door.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32What have I told you about leaving the keys in the lock?

0:00:32 > 0:00:34What if there was an emergency and I couldn't get in?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Sorry, must have forgotten.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Had a good night?- So-so.- Good.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41I'll get your porridge on.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Let me do your cushion. Forward...

0:00:48 > 0:00:50and back.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00Tammy? Hi, it's Mummy. Daddy'll pick you up from school.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04There's risotto in the fridge, you just need to warm it up.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Well, you're more than welcome to cook dinner yourself.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08No, I didn't think so.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12- Caitlin's mum will take you and I'll pick you up, OK? - (Send them my love.)

0:01:12 > 0:01:16Granny sends her love. Have you got everything else you need?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Have a good day, bye.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20I'll get your porridge!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24So...

0:01:24 > 0:01:25So?

0:01:25 > 0:01:29I was just wondering when you were thinking of taking me on that night out?

0:01:29 > 0:01:33- Oh, you weren't joking? - Do I look like I'm joking?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35No. You look quite serious.

0:01:35 > 0:01:40I need a bit of advance notice so I can get enough sleep in preparation.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42You're quite something, Lauren.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44You'd better believe it.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49Look, this is all very flattering, but you do know that I am no longer on the market, so to speak?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Doctor Carmichael and I...

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Caught you.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Don't mind me.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57I was just telling Lauren about us.

0:01:59 > 0:02:05Mmm. Sounds like a fascinating conversation. I'll leave you to it.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Just leave the bowl on the side, I'll wash it at lunchtime.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15- I can manage.- There's a parcel for Number 22.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17You will remember, won't you?

0:02:17 > 0:02:22- I've not completely lost the plot. - I know you haven't. I didn't mean it like that.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Well, don't talk to me like a child, then. I don't forget everything.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I can still remember chasing you around this room in a nappy.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31I found your glasses in the fridge, Mum.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Oh.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Look, just to be on the safe side. OK?

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Do you want me to bring your insulin down so you don't forget?

0:02:38 > 0:02:42No. I won't forget. I'll take it in a minute.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm only trying to help.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I'll see you later. I'll pick up some soup for lunch.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Bye. Melanie!

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Sorry.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Thank you.- Love you.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- Where did this lot come from?- That's not even half of them. You're late.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Sorry, Jack had my travel card. I couldn't wake him.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, you'll just have to work through lunch, then, won't you?

0:03:13 > 0:03:16How we going to shift this lot?

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Oh, I don't know, sure there's some real men round here who want to show us their muscles.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Don't waste your breath asking Dr Granger though.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25- What?- Nothing.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30DOORBELL RINGS

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Coming!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Who is it?

0:03:35 > 0:03:36It's Melanie!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Hi, Mum. How was your night?

0:03:38 > 0:03:44So-so. I woke up thinking your father was in the bed again.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46You still miss him, Mum.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51It takes time. Why don't you go and sit yourself down, I'll make us a nice cup of tea.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56TV CHATTER

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Porridge is on.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Lean forwards a sec.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11Fantastic. Comfy?

0:04:13 > 0:04:14Where were we?

0:04:21 > 0:04:24"As Mr Pickwick contemplated..."

0:04:24 > 0:04:25KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Erm, I know what you're thinking.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34I bet you don't.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39But I wasn't, erm, leading her on.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Nope, that wasn't it.

0:04:40 > 0:04:46I swear it was nothing to do with me. The girl is like a juggernaut.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49And, OK, temporarily, I got caught in the headlights

0:04:49 > 0:04:51and it was a mistake. I'm sorry.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53OK.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It won't happen again, Zara.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I want you to know that I take my responsibilities...

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Like I said - OK.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Bit more...that should do it.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Oh, you forgot those. - We just watered those.

0:05:10 > 0:05:16- Don't be ridiculous, look, they're dry as a bone.- OK, You're the boss.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Hang on, greenfly!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21How did you spot them? They're tiny!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Aphids and I go back a long way. We're old adversaries.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Go on, drown the little blighters. Make them suffer.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Mum, you're an outrage!- Well...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Shall we see how your father's veggie patch is doing?- Yeah.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36It's going to be nice.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Mmm.

0:05:38 > 0:05:44Mum, why did Dad insist on only growing marrows?

0:05:44 > 0:05:51I was the only kid at school who had to eat marrow for dinner three times a week. I mean, who eats marrows?

0:05:51 > 0:05:52- Urgh, I hate them!- Me too.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55What?! You mean all those years...

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- I probably shouldn't have said that, should I?- Oh...

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Don't worry, I've got a plan! Let's hide the marrows!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03He never counts them.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Pop them in the wheelbarrow, we'll hide them in the greenhouse.- OK.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09He never looks there.

0:06:09 > 0:06:14That way, when he gets home this evening, he's none the wiser.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Mum?

0:06:15 > 0:06:18MUM LAUGHS

0:06:18 > 0:06:23Power to the people! And goodbye marrow gratin!

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Perhaps we should leave one for verisimilitude.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Go on, fetch the wheelbarrow!- OK.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Whatever you do, don't tell your father.- No fear.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35It'll be our little secret!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37SHE LAUGHS

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Oh, oh!- Mum!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Mum, are you all right?

0:06:43 > 0:06:44I'm all right.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49We should probably go inside. It's probably time for your lie down.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50Come on.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56There we go. I'll get you a glass of water.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Have you taken your insulin yet?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51I've booked a table. Shall I pick you up at one?

0:07:51 > 0:07:56I am still really behind. Can we do it another day?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Sure. Want me to pick you up a sandwich instead?

0:07:59 > 0:08:01That would be great.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02OK.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Coming! Who is it?

0:08:23 > 0:08:24It's Julia.

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Hi, Geraldine!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29How can I help you?

0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's Julia. From Number 22.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Hello!- You've got my Harry Potter Lego set!

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I beg your pardon?- My parcel.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Oh, there's no parcel here, dear, was I expecting one?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45No, I was. Are you sure?

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Because the postman left a card to say he left it with you.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52MUFFLED: Are you all right?

0:08:52 > 0:08:55MUFFLED: Yes, of course I am. Just woken up, that's all.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Come in, we'll have a look.

0:08:57 > 0:09:03You see, they usually leave parcels for the street with me because I'm at home all the time.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07- That way, people don't have to go to the depot.- Yes. I know.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12How are your grandchildren?

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Isn't the youngest just about to start school?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17That's right.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Oh, they are a ray of sunshine.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26MUFFLED: I was just putting together a parcel for my youngest one.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- They're in America, aren't they? - Canada.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31You must miss them.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Yeah, I do.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38You see, they usually leave parcels with me because they know I'm at home...

0:09:38 > 0:09:40it saves people going to the depot.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ooh. There it is.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Ohhh...

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Steady, steady. Are you OK?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54I'm fine. Just a bit...

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'll be all right in a minute.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Let's get you sat down for a second. There we go.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04All right? How's that?

0:10:07 > 0:10:13Geraldine, are you on any medication at the moment?

0:10:14 > 0:10:17PHONE RINGS

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Heston, it's Julia.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22- I'm not talking to you. - What?!- It's your day off. Whatever it is can wait,

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- now put your phone down. - This is important, Heston, all right?

0:10:25 > 0:10:29I'm with a neighbour of mine and she's one of your patients,

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Geraldine...Crofte.

0:10:33 > 0:10:39Anyway, she's very confused and disorientated. Could you have a look at her notes for me, please?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Saw her last week. Alzheimer's.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46- Oh.- Early onset. Very sad. Lost her husband and never quite recovered.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49As of two years ago, diabetic.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53See if she's taken her insulin and forgotten to eat.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57If she has, give her something sugary, then a starchy sandwich.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59She can take her blood sugar levels in about 15 minutes.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00OK, thanks, Heston.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- If that doesn't work, bring her in. - Yeah, speak to you later.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Oh! Hello.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09You must be Melanie.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17Kevin, there are some test results for you here. They say they're urgent.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Finally!- There's your travel card. Now stop phoning me.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- You owe me two quid for the bus. - "Oh, thanks, Jack.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25"Thanks for coming all this way because I'm sure you've got nothing better to do with your life."

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- You made me late.- Well, well, well!

0:11:29 > 0:11:34Could it be that our knight in shining armour has finally arrived?

0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Eh?- Sorry, I'm Lauren. We met before, I don't know if you remember me?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Yeah, course. - Cos I CERTAINLY remember you.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Lauren, you said something about some results?

0:11:44 > 0:11:51- Immie and I were just saying how difficult it is to find a real man around here, weren't we?- Were we?

0:11:51 > 0:11:55And then you stroll in here, all surly and James Dean-like!

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- I know you're probably too busy, Immie told me..- No!

0:11:59 > 0:12:02No, I was going to...go for a run.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05So you can help me?

0:12:05 > 0:12:11- Yeah, sure.- Of course, I'll have to find a way to pay you back.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Maybe we could go for a drink later, we can come up with your reward.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Sure we can come up with something.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Kevin, can I help you?- Results?

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Oh, here.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24So. About my little problem.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28These boxes, I've got to take them all into the back room and they're just too heavy for me.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29OK.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33All of them?

0:12:33 > 0:12:36I noticed you've got some little signs up around the place

0:12:36 > 0:12:41reminding her of things, and I just wondered whether it would be a good idea to have some

0:12:41 > 0:12:44- to remind her to eat after she had her insulin?- Uh-huh.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45I can help you do it, if you like?

0:12:45 > 0:12:51No, no, it's fine. I'll... I'll do it tomorrow.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've got to go in a minute. Erm, dentist.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58In that case, I'll stay with her till she stabilises because she shouldn't be left alone.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Er, no, really, you don't have to. It's fine.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04It's OK, I've got the day off.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Are you all right?

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Yeah! Just worried about her, that's all.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Melanie, honestly, don't be. You're doing a fantastic job.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Your mum told me she feels very blessed to have you.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Said she couldn't have a better daughter than you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- I'll just give her this.- Yeah.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Courtesy of the health food shop.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41There's enough folic acid in there to feed an entire antenatal class.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Oh! Delicious.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Mind if I join you?

0:13:46 > 0:13:51Actually, I was going to work through today. I'm really snowed,

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- so if you don't mind...- Sure.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09You're sure you're feeling better?

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- You're feeling fine now, aren't you? I- do feel a bit better.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Sweet tea, eh?

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Right, I shall leave you both to your day.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's lovely to see you again, Geraldine.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23I'm just round the corner,

0:14:23 > 0:14:27so if you need anything, and I mean anything... FRONT DOOR OPENS

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- I'll send the nurse round... - Hi, Mum, it's Melanie! I've brought lunch...

0:14:32 > 0:14:33What the hell is she doing here?!

0:14:35 > 0:14:37She's playing you.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38Shut up.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Wake up and smell the skinny latte, duh-brain.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- She's up to something, it's obvious. - Listen, just because your love life's a mess

0:14:44 > 0:14:46doesn't mean you have to interfere with mine.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51When I want my sad sister's advice, I'll ask for it. In the meantime, keep your nose out.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Get out.- Let me explain...

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I don't want you to explain, Sam, I want you to leave. Now.

0:14:58 > 0:14:59I was just looking after her.

0:14:59 > 0:15:05She wouldn't need looking after if it wasn't for you. I can't believe you've wormed your way back in here!

0:15:05 > 0:15:07- I missed her.- Has she been asking you for money?- No.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- No! Mum. - Don't you come near her!

0:15:09 > 0:15:14You leave her alone. You've done enough damage as it is.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- I'll see myself out. - No, stay, please.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19You can't stop me talking to her! She's my mother.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23For your information, Sam, she has Alzheimer's now,

0:15:23 > 0:15:29brought on by you, no doubt. She probably doesn't even remember what you've done. Shall we remind her?

0:15:29 > 0:15:34Remind her how you injected her and dad's nest egg in your filthy junkie veins?

0:15:34 > 0:15:40- Stop it!- Shall we? Mum, do you remember when Sam used to live here.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Stop it! You're upsetting her. - I'm upsetting her?! That's rich coming from you!

0:15:45 > 0:15:49- The prostitute is taking the moral high ground.- I'm not a prostitute.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54- You had sex for money to buy drugs, what's the difference?- Please!

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Once.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58D'you know what? You're right.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01I am a just a useless junkie.

0:16:01 > 0:16:07There's no point talking to you, is there, Mel?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm sorry, Mum, I'll leave you alone.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14And don't you come back either!

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Hey, it's OK.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20This is all my fault.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- No, it's not. - I was so relieved to have her back.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- I didn't care what she'd done. - Of course you didn't.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32I was just glad she wasn't dead in some backstreet.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Oh, sweetie!

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Have you any idea what you've put Mum through?

0:16:38 > 0:16:43- Ladies...- I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad Dad's dead, because if he saw you here...

0:16:43 > 0:16:47Enough, please! I don't know what's going on between you two,

0:16:47 > 0:16:51but I do know your mother is in the front room sobbing her heart out.

0:16:51 > 0:16:56So I suggest that you go in there and deal with it in a civilised way.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Mum?

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- She's not there.- Where is she?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07Mum, are you upstairs?

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Mum?- Where has she gone?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Mum? Where are you? - Is she out the front?

0:17:13 > 0:17:14I'll have a look.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- What have you done? - What?- This is your fault.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20You've only been back five minutes and already she's disappeared!

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- It's not my fault! - It's you that's upset her!

0:17:23 > 0:17:26If anything happens to her, I swear to you, I will never forgive you!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Stop it! Just stop it!

0:17:30 > 0:17:32This isn't helping to find her.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Just calm down and think...

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Where might she have gone?

0:17:39 > 0:17:43Mum! There you are! Are you OK?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Stay with her!

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- She's shaking!- She needs glucagon. - What?- Geraldine!

0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Are you all right? Has she taken her insulin?- I don't know. - Why is she shaking?

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Mum, come on!- Come on! - Out of the way!

0:17:55 > 0:17:59Get her arm out. That's it.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01OK, ready, Mum?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- OK?- There you go, Mum.- All right! - She'll be OK in a few minutes but we need to get her inside now.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12Mmm. Mm.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- I left my salad dressing in your... - Don't!

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- What is that?- Get out. - What is that?- I said get out.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- What in the name of...- OK. OK.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Don't laugh!

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- You have to promise me you won't laugh.- OK, I promise.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38I don't know what's happening to me. Well, I do know. It's these cravings.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42They're massive and bizarre and I can't think about anything else.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47OK, look, this is a perfectly normal part of the pregnancy process.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Stop being so reasonable! Daniel!

0:18:50 > 0:18:54- So you didn't get round to eating the rabbit food sandwich, then? - Oh, no...

0:18:54 > 0:18:57I ate that, too.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Someone's going to get fat!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03You promised me you wouldn't laugh, you are a pig!

0:19:03 > 0:19:05This is your fault too, you know.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07All right, I'll be serious.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Look, I'm here to support you all the way. We're in this together.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Oh, we are, are we? - Mm-hmm. 100%.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Then eat it.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21What?

0:19:21 > 0:19:23If we're in this together...

0:19:25 > 0:19:26..you eat it.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Cold?!

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Cold.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34OK.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Wait.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Erm...

0:19:46 > 0:19:47OK.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Delicious.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Liar!

0:20:04 > 0:20:10Question for you. What have you and I got in common with half the Aston Villa team?

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Go on, surprise me.

0:20:11 > 0:20:17We are all going to the celebrity launch of Birmingham's most exclusive nightclub.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Tonight.- Nitrogen? - Oh, you've heard of it?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Course I've heard of it! How have YOU got tickets?

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Do you want to know?- Yeah.- Good, cos I'm not telling! Taxi is at six. - Hang on a minute!

0:20:27 > 0:20:29What makes you think I want to go out with you?!

0:20:29 > 0:20:30Because you fancy me.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33What ever gave you that idea?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Why else would you flirt with every man in sight except me?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39It's obvious I fancy you - I've got two eyes and a pulse.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44So let's stop playing games, let's go out and let's get it on.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47You've pulled. Pick you up at six.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Thought you'd never ask.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Oh, and er, we're probably going to get papped, so you might want to...

0:20:58 > 0:21:00What's going on, Sam?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- It's not the first time I've visited Mum.- Clearly.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08What Mel said about me is true. But when I heard Mum had got Alzheimer's,

0:21:08 > 0:21:12I thought I could visit without her remembering what I'd done.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17She called me Melanie and I said nothing.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21She's believed I'm Melanie ever since. I missed her.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28- You need to be honest with her. She's confused enough as it is. - She's coming round!

0:21:32 > 0:21:35How did you know what to give her?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Because Sam's been visiting me for months.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- All done.- My hero. - So, what time d'you knock off?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Eh?- Well, we need to talk about that reward, don't we?

0:21:47 > 0:21:49I...guess we do.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Tell you what. I'll go home, freshen up

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- and pick you up at six.- Oh...

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Six it is, then.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01I hardly have time to see my own children any more.

0:22:01 > 0:22:06And now she waltzes back in here and you tell me you've been playing happy families for months!

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I knew it would upset you.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Of course I'm upset. After everything I've done!

0:22:14 > 0:22:21I've never asked you for anything, yet she can spend all your money

0:22:21 > 0:22:26and my children's inheritance and we welcome her back with open arms!

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Melanie, everything I have is yours.

0:22:29 > 0:22:34But I thought I'd lost Sam and now I've got her back.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39I prayed to God every day Sam was away to bring her back

0:22:39 > 0:22:43and now that He has, I can't just turn my back on her.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Melanie, I know you're upset,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48but please try and listen to what your mum is saying to you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51- If it was one of your kids... - My children would never take drugs.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53You knew it was me all along.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Of course I knew it was you.

0:22:56 > 0:23:00I'm not that far gone that I wouldn't recognise my own daughter.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04Why do you think I left clean needles in the bathroom?

0:23:04 > 0:23:09Oh, this just gets better! Am I going mad? Julia, please, help me out here!

0:23:09 > 0:23:15Geraldine, I'm sorry, if you really want to help Sam, letting her take drugs here is not the answer.

0:23:15 > 0:23:22Melanie, you are a wonderful, dutiful daughter and I don't know where I'd be without you,

0:23:22 > 0:23:26but please understand, Sam is my daughter too,

0:23:26 > 0:23:31and if it were you in her position, I'd do exactly the same.

0:23:31 > 0:23:38That's a nice sentiment, Mum, but she's not Sam, she's a junkie.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42We've been here before. You can't trust her.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- I'm going to go.- Don't go.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49- Mum, it's for the best, you're ill...- Stop telling me I'm ill!

0:23:49 > 0:23:54I might forget the odd thing, but I'm not so ill that I don't know the difference between right and wrong.

0:23:54 > 0:23:58- I know it seems harsh, but until she's clean...- No!

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Don't upset her, I'm going. - You've got to kick her out!

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Kick who out?- Sam!

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Is she here?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Oh, for goodness' sake.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13There you are! Good, I wondered when you were coming.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18Pop the kettle on, I want to know if Mr Pickwick gets out of prison.

0:24:20 > 0:24:26Melanie, surely you can see how much it means to your mum to have Sam back?

0:24:26 > 0:24:30You're stretched, you've got your own family to care for.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35And clearly, you're more than capable of looking after your mum,

0:24:35 > 0:24:40but she cannot have somebody looking after her who gets high all the time.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44You have got to get professional help if you want to be back in her life.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'm going to. I want to.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Mild sense of deja vu.

0:24:49 > 0:24:54How about if Sam comes to see your mum,

0:24:54 > 0:24:58maybe once or twice a week?

0:24:58 > 0:25:02Just on a trial basis. Take the pressure off you.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Please, Mel, I'm so sorry.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09I know I've messed up.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Please give me another chance.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Please.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Please, Melanie.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38"Mr Tom Roker, the gentleman who had accompanied Mr Pickwick into the prison,

0:25:38 > 0:25:43"turned sharp round to the right and, when he go to the bottom of the little flight of steps..."

0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Where is my bag?- Only four more days till the weekend. Woo-hoo!

0:25:47 > 0:25:49I think Imogen's already gone, love.

0:25:49 > 0:25:50I'm not here for Imogen.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Anybody seen Lauren?

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Six o'clock.- Here I am.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59You wanted me, Dr Granger?

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Just some repeat prescriptions, which I can give...

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Wow. You look amazing.

0:26:05 > 0:26:09- I know.- The Icon's not going to know what's hit it.- The Icon?

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, I thought we could start there.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Cos I get my staff discount on top of my student discount.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let me see...

0:26:16 > 0:26:20sipping champagne at Birmingham's most exclusive nightclub

0:26:20 > 0:26:24or a discount glass of cheap Chardonnay at the Icon? Ooh, what's a girl to do?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27What?

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Sorry, I've had another offer.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Don't just stand there.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34- Have fun.- Oh, we will.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Ouch.- That has got to hurt.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- I've got to go.- Yeah, me too.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I'll walk you to your car, Jim.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Night, love.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59I'm telling you, there is absolutely nothing that that girl won't do.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01You're a schoolboy after his first conquest!

0:27:01 > 0:27:03I train every day. I have a healthy diet.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05I don't drink, smoke or do drugs...

0:27:05 > 0:27:08You have high blood pressure and are seriously underweight.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11I hope you'll finish that! Kids in the third world are starving.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Yeah, I know.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17I want to have you on this desk, right now.
