0:00:32 > 0:00:36- CHERRY:- I kept thinking about all the times we said it was wrong

0:00:36 > 0:00:40to have a baby to save a marriage...

0:00:40 > 0:00:43especially after what I did.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm so ashamed.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Talk about baptism by fire, though, eh?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57You shouldn't go thinking that is normal.

0:00:57 > 0:00:58Don't worry about me.

0:00:58 > 0:01:02I'm used to the occasional workplace fracas. Rather that, than be bored.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06It does get you out of Howard Bellamy's "Practical Intercom for Beginners"...

0:01:06 > 0:01:09which is a blessing.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13"Tonight, Howard, I am going to be...publicly humiliated and ruin my life(!)"

0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Everything all right?- Yeah, fine.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- You?- Absolutely.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23Let me know when Daniel and Jimmi arrive.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Heston in his room?- Yes, he is.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Oops!

0:01:31 > 0:01:33- KNOCKING ON DOOR - Come in.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I was wrong about the intercom.- Indeed.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Gone. History.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Mm-hm?

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- And Daniel and Jimmi? - Neither of them are in yet.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52- But when they are? - It's my responsibility. I'll deal with it.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55I live. I learn. I will deal with them both.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59You know what you're doing? You appreciate what we're facing here?

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Yes, they're both going to want to resign. I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. - You do?- Absolutely.- Are you sure?

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- I am.- Thank you, Howard, that's a weight off my mind.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Just doing my job.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I didn't expect to see you today. I'd have caved.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29You think I should be ashamed?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32- No.- I still have patients.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Let me know if there's anything I can do.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- Let me get on with this while I still have to, OK? - Of course.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43I've let Howard know you're here.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46I told him it didn't look like you'd been up all night...you know...

0:02:47 > 0:02:52- You what?- I'd have died. I'd have been that mortified.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- I couldn't have shown my face. - Could you not?- No!

0:02:56 > 0:03:00I was embarrassed for you. I'd have been under the duvet all week.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04I could not have put a brave face on that. I just couldn't.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09- Could you schedule me an appointment with the practice manager, please? - Certainly.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15Oh, and you've got a full list. Busy morning for you!

0:03:15 > 0:03:19It's your job to sort it. So sort it. Then when you get a time, phone through with that time.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21Don't say anything else.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Mr Donaldson, please.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ouch!

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Armour plating on today, I think.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Mrs White?- Baptism of fire, eh?

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Dr Tyler, you made me jump. - It'll calm down.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I am perfectly used to doctors and their little dramas, thank you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- I'm sure you are.- I've just got to get my head round the diary system.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Scream if you need me. Mr Frobisher. How are you?

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- Jimmi about?- Good morning, Dr Granger.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Dr Clay has just shown a patient through.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- And Howard?- He's in the middle of a conference call at the moment. Sorry.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03- I can't really say how long he'll be. - Check his diary for later, I need to speak to him.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's highlighting in blue... Why blue?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14I've never had a system that highlighted in blue.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Maybe it's picking up on the mood of the building.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Maybe read the instructions?

0:04:19 > 0:04:20I think I'll have to.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24- I could just sort this out and then phone you through. - Soon as you can.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- You've got a patient who's been waiting.- Send them through.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Could you go through now, please?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35Reception's heaving! Normally, I'd not ask,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37but I think I'm building to a dehydration headache.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Would you like a cup of tea, Valerie?

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Oh! Diary protocol's driving me mad.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47It won't save, it's still highlighting...

0:04:47 > 0:04:48I can't track amendments...

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Valerie, I'll bring you one out.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52- You sorted out my meeting?- Nearly.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Looks like I'm tea monitor. Can I get you one?

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Of course not!

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Because it's all my fault(!) - He doesn't think that.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07He thinks I was like,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10"Yeah, Cherry, go and bunk up with Jimmi's best mate, that'll help(!)

0:05:10 > 0:05:13"Ooh, and lie to him about coming off the pill."

0:05:13 > 0:05:15It must have been horrible for both of them.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Do you not think I tried tough love?

0:05:18 > 0:05:22D'you think she wanted to hear anything I had to say? Did she heck.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24He's in a terrible place.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28Yeah, well, I've lost my best mate, so...

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- no-one's won.- I know.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33And now, Jimmi, who I actually really care about,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36can't even bear to be in the same room as me.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Let's just get through the day and try and stay positive.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45SHE SIGHS

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Valerie, what time am I seeing Howard?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52I haven't quite finalised that yet, Dr Granger.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I really need to see him.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Oh, bless you!

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I'm an over-empathiser.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Leave it with me...

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Soon as...promise.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21Everything all right?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I never have a problem with schedule and co-ordination software.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Not normally. - And your problem today is..?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Appointments are fine but I have to arrange one meeting with you

0:06:30 > 0:06:34and Dr Clay and one meeting with you and Dr Granger.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- That's difficult because...? - Well, Dr Clay is a bubbling pit of fury

0:06:38 > 0:06:40and Dr Granger looks like he might cry.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Valerie, surely you can handle simple timetabling? Today of all days.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48But I've tried! There must be a firewall.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Amendments? Forget it.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Blue all over the shop and it won't save.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55How am I supposed to arrange meetings if they won't save to your diary?

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I think I may have locked it.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00It didn't say that on screen. It should've said.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Next time you get IT problems, come and see me immediately.

0:07:03 > 0:07:08Of course. I'll go and arrange your meetings.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10I hope they're not too awful for you.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Excuse me?- It was a bit grim yesterday, wasn't it?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16They're both such nice boys.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19And Nurse Clay seemed nice...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Well, everybody's nice, which is why it's so, so sad.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25You couldn't make it up, could you? I've brought some cake and biscuits.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Might help. I mean, all that intercom malarkey...

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Valerie.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- The meetings.- Yes, yes, course. I'll go and update your diary.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Actually, I'll pop them in on a post-it... No, yeah...

0:07:40 > 0:07:42HE SIGHS

0:07:45 > 0:07:48- My behaviour's been exemplary. - First class.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52So I want to make it clear that when I resign, I don't expect any financial penalties.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Why would I accept your resignation?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56You're a vital member of the team.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59What's left for me here now all my dirty linen's been washed in public?

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yes, I'm sorry about that.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05It's OK, but I draw the line at working with Granger.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Everyone knows he slept with my wife.- Well, you won't have to.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11I beg your pardon?

0:08:11 > 0:08:17Do you seriously believe I would accept your resignation over Daniel's?

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Daniel's resigned?- Yes.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21To be honest, the fact that Daniel is a partner

0:08:21 > 0:08:24and you're not has never made any sense to me.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- He'll work his notice. One month.- He's resigned?!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31So there's no more seeing him on a daily basis.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33You've got a future here, Jimmi.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Like I said, you're a vital member of the team.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40Thanks for that.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- No worries.- How's Cherry?

0:08:43 > 0:08:47- Gone already.- No way!- Yes, way.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51You think she should've stayed?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53I don't know, what else could she do?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Not dropped them for Daniel?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58"Dropped"? Pulled down, more like.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00It takes two to tango.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Cherry betrayed Jimmi... - And Daniel betrayed his best mate.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06The last thing we should be doing now is taking sides.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11- You don't fancy taking sides? - Of course, I feel like taking sides.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- But...- But we should stay professional?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15With bells on.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Even-handed professionalism and respect.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- We're strictly on the fence? - Uh-huh.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23May many splinters pierce our bums.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25HE LAUGHS

0:09:31 > 0:09:34This is not a hasty decision.

0:09:34 > 0:09:39I've been repenting a lot lately. It's what I have to do, so please take it.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Daniel, take a seat.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51This isn't me being all noble and throwing myself on the sword,

0:09:51 > 0:09:52by the way.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Isn't it? A letter of resignation? Very noble(!)

0:09:56 > 0:09:58I'm exhausted, Howard.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00I can't take any more guilt.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I shouldn't be here. So, please...

0:10:02 > 0:10:06I need to say a few things.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10I know you've been having a tough time recently. You've been through a lot.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Possibly a reason...not an excuse.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15You're too good a doctor to lose over a personal incident.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20OK. Fine, so lose me over missing a symptom,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23or not being focused, anything.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I prefer to take the long-term, holistic approach.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29This practice needs the right mix of the right people.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32OK, I'll leave. You keep the right people.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34That's very self-deprecating and humble.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35And also bull!

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Who's going to want to work with me, after what I did?

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Water. Bridges. Give it time.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Oh. Give Jimmi time to forget that his best mate...(!)

0:10:47 > 0:10:49He's not going to forget.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53This practice needs flair and exuberance.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Exactly the type of thing that you bring to the table.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00You're so much more than bedside manner and some diagnostic skills.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Please, Howard. I'm trying to fix this.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13I've already accepted one resignation today.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16I'm not going to accept yours.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- What? Jimmi's resigned?!- Yeah.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Got in there first.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Actually, I'm quite relieved the way it's played out.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28I know which one of you I WOULDN'T relish trying to replace.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Jimmi's resigned?

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Buying in drones is easy. Replacing partners, not so easy.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Can't believe it.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Look, I don't mean to be... but he's hardly...

0:11:40 > 0:11:42You know what I mean.

0:11:42 > 0:11:43Look, Jimmi's done nothing wrong.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I am the one that messed up here.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49If you went, the financial ramifications alone would be a total nightmare!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Maybe, in the short term.

0:11:52 > 0:11:53Look...

0:11:55 > 0:11:57..it may not be my place to say this...

0:11:57 > 0:12:01but how could Zara not interpret you resigning as cutting your ties to her too?

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Think about it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I'm sick and tired of thinking.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Ah, there he is. All but for the white horse and you'd be perfect!

0:12:21 > 0:12:25White horse? Knight on a...?

0:12:25 > 0:12:26I'm at a loose end.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29I need someone to have lunch with me. And you're it.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31No, I'm probably not.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Of course you are. And what about you?

0:12:33 > 0:12:35You could both do with a change of scene, couldn't you?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38The Icon's not busy.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40I don't think that...

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Elephant in the room?

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Jimmi, you know I think you're being a star but...really.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Mandy?

0:12:49 > 0:12:53None of this is actually her fault, is it?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's not her fault, is it?

0:12:56 > 0:12:59No. Didn't think so.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Right, come on. Let's be civilised.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05- No need to worry about bumping into Daniel.- Where is Daniel?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Yoghurt and a packet of crisps.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11- He's hiding out, having lunch in his room.- So he should.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Come on...please?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Lemonades are on me.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Make it an orange juice and you're on.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20Good. Come on.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26"Crinkle-cut and low-fat cherry." What is that?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Some saddo statement yoghurt? Dairy-based pun?- Kevin!- What?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33The man's got a cherry yoghurt. Freudian slip, much.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Come out with us, have lunch.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Don't be one of those guys who hides in his room

0:13:39 > 0:13:41and skulks in the shadows.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- You ought to get out. Come with us. - I'm not skulking.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I'm not taking sides but from where I'm sitting,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49you're the one who needs his mates.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51I want to have lunch in my room.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Jimmi won't be at the Icon, if that's what you're worrying about. - I'm fine.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58You'd be fine having lunch out with us and not beating yourself up!

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Look, I don't know the ins and outs...- No, you don't.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05..but you only had to listen to yesterday's broadcast to know that you weren't to blame.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Their biggest issue? Not you. Bit of a minor character, really.

0:14:08 > 0:14:13Please, at least let me try to be diplomatic.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16You shouldn't worry about people judging you.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- That's easy for you to say. - People will judge you no matter what you do.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21In my experience, you're better powering through.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25You're not better calling that "lunch" and skulking in your room.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Yeah, OK, we're not doing 101 Agony Aunt,

0:14:28 > 0:14:31we're doing "get it together and don't be pathetic". Come on, mate.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Come out for lunch?

0:14:38 > 0:14:42- I wasn't skulking.- All right! - Is "skulking" even a real word?

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Thanks for this. I can't believe how much I needed it.- It's our pleasure.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Still can't believe Daniel's doing the honourable thing. - What's that?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Resigning.- Daniel is?!

0:14:51 > 0:14:55That'll be a nightmare for Howard, practically speaking...

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- but if it means you're staying, Jimmi...- More likely, I'm staying.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Mate... Sorry, I didn't...

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- We have to stop meeting like this. - You think this is funny? - No, I don't. Look, I heard...

0:15:12 > 0:15:17Everyone heard. I had fewer bloody listeners when I did the radio show! Get out my face!

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- OK, I'm going. - Good.- I'll find somewhere else.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24Oh, is that Daniel Granger doing the right thing... or a pig flying over the bar(?)

0:15:24 > 0:15:25Can't we talk?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28No, we can't. Unbelievable!

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'll get some drinks, shall I?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38It's a series of management books, HR stuff. Richard Head -

0:15:38 > 0:15:39have you read them?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41I must have missed that one.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43It's all going according to plan.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44Good, you have a plan(!)

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Essentially, at close of play yesterday

0:15:47 > 0:15:50we stood to lose a further two irreplaceable members of staff.

0:15:50 > 0:15:56In such circumstances, Richard Head advocates radical manipulation.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58As I say, it's not on my bookshelf.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's a risky strategy but...

0:16:01 > 0:16:05..we have two doctors, both threatening to go.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Both able to stay if the other one goes.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10But we can't lose both.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- So...?- So, we tell them the thing they most want to hear.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Which is?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19I've led Jimmi to believe that he's vital and Daniel's resigning...

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and Daniel thinks he's indispensable and Jimmi's working his notice.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Richard Head - human resources genius.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Is that your management plan? Get a grip, man!

0:16:28 > 0:16:29Yes, we might lose one.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33- We could buy ourselves enough time to salvage the situation and keep both!- Rot.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36If the gamble pays off, we keep Daniel and Jimmi.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39At the moment, deep down, they both want to stay.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42What if they both find out they've been lied to and they both leave?

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Have you put money on that?

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Do you remember when crisps weren't a garnish?

0:16:48 > 0:16:53Ha! I remember when salt and vinegar was an interesting combination!

0:16:53 > 0:16:54THEY LAUGH

0:16:54 > 0:16:58What is your least favourite flavour?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Lamb and mint sauce. - No, d'you know what?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04He does NOT get to play the martyr.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Jimmi!

0:17:06 > 0:17:08A lie...is a lie.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I've bought the time we need for it to blow over.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13What kind of idiot are you?!

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Daniel slept with Jimmi's wife,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19who broadcast, over your magnificently destructive

0:17:19 > 0:17:24intercom system, that she was lying to him about conceiving their child.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26This is not going to blow over.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- It looks bad now, but trust me...- To do what?

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Completely destroy everything we've built up here?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I may as well hand in MY resignation!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Come on, be fair.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Give it a chance.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46Ooh, Dr Granger, I thought you were all at that bar for lunch.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Are you hungry? This is one of my tray bakes.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51That's flapjack and millionaire's shortbread.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55I've got fruit cake there and your shop-bought cookies.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57- What?- It's just me.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02"Mrs Homebaking." Mary Berry meets St Francis.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03My motto?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- "Where there is discord, let me bring cake." - OK, there, Roger Bannister(!)

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Everything's better with a nice, plump cherry.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12You what?!

0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Daniel...- On the top.

0:18:14 > 0:18:17Of course, cherries aren't that bright red colour any more.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19They're that mucky, yucky...brown.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22But at least the kids aren't climbing the walls any more.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Those old cherries should've come with a health and safety warning...

0:18:27 > 0:18:29I meant chocolate buttons.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33You're supposed to be insightful, efficient, a man manager.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37- If we keep them apart, it will work.- Oh, well, that's all right, then(!)

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Anybody like a flapjack?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Everywhere I turn, every time I look,

0:18:43 > 0:18:45there you are with your smug face.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46I'm sorry, all right?

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Only because you got caught. - I know what it's like to feel bereft. I'm living it...

0:18:50 > 0:18:54- This is not about you! - Guys, guys, come on.- Have a coffee. It's decaf!

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Once a whore, always a whore. - Oh, dear.- Why don't we just take a moment...?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59No, don't stop him.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Go on, Jim, do something about it. - You make me sick!

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Do something about it! If I were you, I'd punch me!

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yeah, well, I'm not you.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09No, he's not anything like you... PLATE SMASHES

0:19:09 > 0:19:10THEY SCREAM

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Better?- Yeah!

0:19:13 > 0:19:14SHE SCREAMS

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Ah, poor Daniel... you're bleeding.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19You know what, mate? I am so glad Zara took Joe off you.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23If she hadn't, Social Services would've.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24Who'd trust you with kids?

0:19:24 > 0:19:27You should never have kids. You're not fit to be a father!

0:19:29 > 0:19:32With respect, I think you're utterly blowing this out of proportion!

0:19:32 > 0:19:33SCREAMING

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Three-second rule! Three-second rule!- Leave it!

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Three-second rule.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Oi!- Leave it!

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Stop it, both of you!

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Break it up! Break it up!- Sit there!

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- My nose!- Check his nose, see if it's broken.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Is it?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Ow!- This is OUTRAGEOUS!

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- This WILL be sorted! - I never wanted him to resign!

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- I'm not resigning, you are!- What?!

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I was going to...

0:20:04 > 0:20:08It was me, wasn't it(?) I was the one that did... Hang on a second, wait...that was you!

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Right. You two - my room.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14- You said...- You said he...- Because we wanted neither of you to leave.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- So you lied?- Gentlemen, please! No more managerial subterfuge.

0:20:17 > 0:20:23Let's sort this out, in my room, properly.

0:20:23 > 0:20:24And not you.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31In we go.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I don't condone violence.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Neither can I cast the first stone.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Sit...here.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43- I don't want to go. - I don't want to go.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47Neither of you has had his resignation accepted.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Howard told me Jimmi had resigned. - He said...

0:20:49 > 0:20:51He was misguided, with the best possible intentions.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53We don't want either of you to go,

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- but there'll be no easy way through this.- Easier for some...

0:20:56 > 0:20:59IF...we can get through it at all.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Some people create destruction, but they always survive.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03What do we need here?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Time.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- You both need some breathing space.- I breathe just fine.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yeah, well, I don't.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Zara had to take Joe away.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- So?- Because I shook him, Jim. I shook Joe.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16That's why they're gone.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18You don't win! You don't have the most pain.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I'm not competing.- I stood by you.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I would have stood by you through anything,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25but you slept with my wife!

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I don't understand.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31I'm not over it and I don't care how you were feeling. I will never forgive you!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Are you talking to anyone?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Yes, I'm seeing a therapist.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- He says I should spend more time with Isobel.- Risky.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Stop!

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Jimmi...

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'll speak to Lisa, see if I can take Isobel to see my mum.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56If I wasn't here, if you didn't have to see me for a while...

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Not seeing you sounds good.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00Jimmi, if you'd like to have some time...

0:22:00 > 0:22:01He's got PND, I've got patients.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03All I need is him out my face.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- I'll go for a couple of weeks. - Make it a month.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Daniel...you're a partner...

0:22:12 > 0:22:15I need you to start behaving like one...

0:22:15 > 0:22:17so get yourself sorted.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'm trying.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27There's no need to check up on me.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Somebody's got to be on your side.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Please, sir, can that be me?

0:22:32 > 0:22:33You always chose the wrong team.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35That's rubbish!

0:22:35 > 0:22:37You're just having a bad day at the office.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, yeah(?) Like the day I messed up with Elaine,

0:22:40 > 0:22:41or yesterday with Cherry(?)

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Even if the all-knowing Heston can sort out the GP situation,

0:22:44 > 0:22:46the nurse scenario is still messed up.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50You'll find a replacement for Cherry. You thrive under pressure.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53You solve problems, that's what you do.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Can you tell me why suddenly I can't do anything right?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59You'll find a new Cherry before the old one's even been missed.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03How?! Agencies, references, interviews - it all takes time!

0:23:03 > 0:23:08Well, maybe... No...

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- "Maybe" what?- No, you'll think it's inappropriate, anyway.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13What?

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Chris.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Chris?

0:23:19 > 0:23:20Your son, Chris?

0:23:20 > 0:23:23He's not long qualified.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25No, normally...

0:23:25 > 0:23:29"Normality"?! There's not much normal around here today.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31No.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Look, Chris is a good nurse...

0:23:34 > 0:23:35and a team player.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38And I reckon you need people on your team.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41We could put him on a short-term contract.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44If the partners didn't like him, we just don't renew.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Big problem solved.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50Which, by the way, you could do nothing to prevent.

0:23:50 > 0:23:55Between you and me, Cherry Clay was a manipulative little mare.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03And how are you, my dear?

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Nobody's touched my tray bake.

0:24:05 > 0:24:10- Fruit cake's ruined.- I will sample your flapjack before you leave.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- It's very thoughtful of you. Is Howard still in his office?- Yes.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Any of the others gone home yet?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18No. SHE LAUGHS

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Still time for it all to kick off again.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25It's all fine, I've dealt with everything.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Wednesday, then?- Perfect.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Get him to call me tomorrow, sort out the details.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32- KNOCK ON DOOR - What's happening?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Oh, just a bit of... problem solving.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Thanks for that.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Have a nice evening.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39What was that?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41In-house solution.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44About what, exactly?

0:24:44 > 0:24:47No agency fees, no messing about. Emma's son's a nurse.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Recently qualified. Starts Wednesday.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51On a permanent contract?

0:24:51 > 0:24:52No!

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Short-term. Review-friendly. I'm not a complete idiot.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Are you sure about that?- Excuse me?

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Do you want me to spell it out for you?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Heston, we have differing styles,

0:25:02 > 0:25:04but I do have a proven record in management.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08So, if Emma's recently qualified son turns out to be a complete nightmare,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11- I'll just step in and sort it out(?) - He won't.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14- How d'you know? - Can we act like we're playing for the same team here?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I'm sure you are eminently qualified to be a practice manager.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18But, from now on...

0:25:18 > 0:25:21I want all and every decision run by me

0:25:21 > 0:25:23before you sign anything.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Is that all(?) - Daniel is going on extended leave,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29and I do not want you appointing someone else.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32And I do not want you "Richard Head-ing it"

0:25:32 > 0:25:34around any of the other doctors.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Fine!- As sole partner in situ,

0:25:36 > 0:25:40I cannot contend with your loose-cannon antics.

0:25:40 > 0:25:44- Fine!- As I said...

0:25:44 > 0:25:46every decision!

0:25:46 > 0:25:47DOOR SLAMS

0:25:47 > 0:25:49(Fine.)

0:26:12 > 0:26:14HE SIGHS

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Do you really think I'd apply for a job where you work?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Hi, there.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Thought you'd not been here before?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43He was just being friendly.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45We've been looking forward to meeting you.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Have you?- Absolutely. Please take a seat, take a seat.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Forget about that room, it doesn't exist, do you hear?

0:26:51 > 0:26:52I can't.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Mr Unwin?

0:26:55 > 0:26:56Can you hear me?
