0:00:36 > 0:00:38MUSIC: "He's The Lily Of The Valley"
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# He's the lily of the valley
0:00:43 > 0:00:49# Oh my Lord
0:00:49 > 0:00:55# He's the lily of the valley
0:00:55 > 0:01:00# Oh my Lord... #
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Oh! Barbara.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13# ..Oh my Lord
0:01:13 > 0:01:20# With four white horses side by side
0:01:20 > 0:01:24# Oh my Lord. #
0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's only been in force for a day
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and already some imbecile is parked in a staff space.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Anyone called the company?
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Actually... - No, of course not. Don't worry.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I'll do it myself. - Howard, a word to the wise...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Not now, Heston. I've got a call to make.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Zara. This is a surprise.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Howard, take a seat, please.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10This is my office.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Technically, this building and everything in it is owned by the stakeholders.
0:02:14 > 0:02:20Which means that I own one quarter and you own precisely nothing.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And never will, as I intend to block your application to become a partner.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I really have to get to work.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Now, the vestry is finished. May I leave you to lock up?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Why, Doreen!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46You have altered but a few elements
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and the whole display has come to life.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's a particular hobby.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I do lots of courses.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Including Flora In Praise Of The Lord at the cathedral last month.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Well, it has paid off. You have a real talent.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I confess, I was rather hoping it might bump me up the list
0:03:07 > 0:03:10for a place on the ladies' flower rota.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14I fear there is more chance of a camel getting through the eye of a needle.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20I don't see why it has to be limited to 12.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23As there are 12 apostles,
0:03:23 > 0:03:29so there are - and always has been - 12 members of the flower rota.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Perhaps if you appealed to Mrs Land,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36she may be persuaded to make an exception in your case.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It is regrettable, of course,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and I apologise unreservedly for not consulting you properly.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- That's as may be...- But I felt it in the best interests of the practice
0:03:54 > 0:03:56to have the stability that I can offer.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It's down to the partners to decide what's in the best interests of the practice.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Particularly when you choose to make yourself conspicuous by your absence.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Well, I'm back now.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Indeed you are. The question is - for how long?
0:04:11 > 0:04:12I'm between contracts
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and I intend to use the time to put my house in order.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I see. In that case,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I've prepared a comprehensive proposal for Heston and Daniel
0:04:20 > 0:04:22which was favourably received.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I trust you'll lend me the courtesy of listening to it
0:04:25 > 0:04:28before you make your decision.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Shall we say two o'clock. My office?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Of course, Howard.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38That seems perfectly fair.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51The latest affront. Have you read this?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Not as yet.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Then I suggest you do.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59And in particular, the article by our new vicar - Focus On Change.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Huh! Destroy Our Sacred Heritage, more like.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Take it, Mrs Tembe. It will make your hair stand on end.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I will be sure to read it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Immediate action is required.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm calling an emergency meeting of the Ladies Committee at lunchtime.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- To what end? - So we can vote against his proposals
0:05:17 > 0:05:20and present our objections as a united front.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I take it we can count on your presence?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Alas, I fear I am particularly busy today.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30In that case, I'll be sure to keep you personally informed.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Hi. You want one?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- No, thanks.- Have a seat. - I can't stay.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Five minutes. We didn't get a chance to talk about us last night.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Talk about what?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, are you staying? Where are you staying?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54How's Joe? Maybe I could see him tonight.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'd like to keep our conversations at work strictly to that.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02But since you're asking, I'm staying for as long as it takes to sort out the mess you and Heston have made.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Where I'm staying is none of your business.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Our access arrangements to Joe remain unchanged. You can see him once a week.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I'm meeting with Howard later to discuss his application
0:06:10 > 0:06:12for partnership.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15As you and Heston so hastily acceded to it without consultation,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I expect you both to be there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Fine. - Two o'clock. Julia's office.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I was hoping we could rely on you to organise the refreshments.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I volunteer in the charity shop this morning.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Surely they can spare you for a couple of hours.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35After all, this is an emergency.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Yes, of course.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Excellent. You, Doreen, are a stalwart.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Talking of rotas, I was wondering
0:06:42 > 0:06:45if I could talk to you about the flowers?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Still no spaces, I'm afraid.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51I don't suppose it would be possible to increase the numbers?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52It's just I've been on a course...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Out of the question.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58There aren't enough Sundays in the year for more than a dozen of us.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Now, I was thinking... a few rounds of sandwiches
0:07:01 > 0:07:04and maybe one of your excellent lemon cakes?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Mrs Tembe.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Oh, good morning, Reverend. What can I do for you?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I was passing and thought I'd save myself the stamp.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Very frugal. I will make sure Doctor Clay gets it.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27And while I'm here, can I leave you this?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I have already read it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- And?- I think you have a fight on your hands.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36As you know, people do not like change.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39If people didn't fight for their beliefs, we'd all still be Roman Catholic.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43And I have my own vision. Our church,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46restored to its rightful place as the fulcrum of the community.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Talking of the Ladies Committee,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I expect you're going to Barbara's meeting?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I have no interest in their rabble rousing.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59I wish you would.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I hope you are not expecting me to spy for you?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10I was hoping you might persuade the more intransigent elements
0:08:10 > 0:08:14to rethink some of my less controversial changes.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17And what makes you think I don't agree with them?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Because I think, in your heart of hearts, you share my vision.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I am not one for getting involved in politics.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Everything is politics, and in my opinion,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29you're the perfect woman for the job.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I am also immune to flattery.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Besides, what makes you think that Mrs Land and her cohorts would listen to me, anyway?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38You underestimate yourself.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42PHONE RINGS
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Campus surgery. Good morning.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Yes, Mr Thomas.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51KNOCK AT DOOR
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Mandy.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh! I heard you were back.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57For the time being. How are you doing?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I mean, is it getting any easier?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Um... Zara, this is Chris Reid. Our new nurse.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Zara Carmichael.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09No relation of Emma, I hope?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10She's my mum.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Is she indeed? Well, well, well. Quite the little family we've got going on here, haven't we?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Chris has been doing a really good job.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20That's a small sliver of consolation considering how this place
0:09:20 > 0:09:22has gone to the dogs in my absence.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Apropos of which, I'd like your purchase orders for the last three months.- Sure.- By tomorrow will do.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32He's a loose cannon. If you'll forgive the pun.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34He's a disgrace to the church.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Don't you agree, Doreen?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, yes...and no.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43After Reverend Stanhope, I find myself rather
0:09:43 > 0:09:47enjoying his energy and enthusiasm.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Charity and I have been discussing the flower rota.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56And as Mrs Dunstan's eyes are getting worse, it seems
0:09:56 > 0:09:58she may be forced to step down soon.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Which will leave a vacancy.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03For another like-minded member.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Quite.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07We've always been a very united group.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11My. Your lemon drizzle cake looks excellent.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Straight to the kitchen with it, I think.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And while you're there, do you think you should get the tea urn going?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26They're late.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I spy a strategic waiting game.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I don't suppose you fancy a wager on the outcome?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Do you think he's got any idea what he's up against?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Hasn't a clue, poor fellow.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Sorry I'm... Where's Howard?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Sorry I'm late. Meeting overran.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42On the upside,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I've managed to secure funding for a temp to assist with data input.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Bravo, Howard.- Well done.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Please take a seat.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Can I offer you a coffee? - No, thank you.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Well, let's get started.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01COMPUTER BEEPS REPEATEDLY
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Ah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16I'll start with a short curriculum vitae and a list of my credentials.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Children in church should be seen and not heard.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23And preferably in the crypt attending Mr Walder's Bible class.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Reverend Clement is only suggesting a family service once a month.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Happy-clappy chaos.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33A chance to sing All Things Bright And Beautiful.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36One of my favourite hymns which we never get to sing
0:11:36 > 0:11:39because there are never any children present.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44These children are the parishioners of the future.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47We need to engage them in our worship.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Teach them the glory of the litany.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Not hide them away in the crypt reading Bible stories.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I doubt you'd find many here who agree with you.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00"Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me."
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, I doubt he'd have said that if they'd been dressed
0:12:03 > 0:12:06as Noah's animals and shaking a tambourine in his face.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Let's put it to the vote, shall we?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11All those in favour of opposing
0:12:11 > 0:12:13the vicar's proposal for children's services.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Doreen?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Carried.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29So, I believe I have demonstrated that I have the skill,
0:12:29 > 0:12:33vision and funding to usher The Mill Health Centre Partnership
0:12:33 > 0:12:36into a new era of success and prosperity.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Any questions?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Yes.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47According to your job description, the practice manager is -
0:12:47 > 0:12:48and I quote -
0:12:48 > 0:12:52"One. Responsible for the smooth, efficient and profitable
0:12:52 > 0:12:57"running of the practice, maintaining a happy and committed team."
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Yes.- Really? Elaine?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The poor woman was understandably traumatised by the whole
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Harrison Kellor business and yet you let one of our best doctors
0:13:07 > 0:13:11slip through your fingers due to poor pastoral care.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"Two. Oversee the recruitment and retention - hah! -
0:13:14 > 0:13:18"of staff and provide a general personnel management service."
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, Elaine to one side, why on earth is Emma Reid still
0:13:22 > 0:13:25a financially crippling locum after five months?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27And why on earth did you let Daniel take an extended
0:13:27 > 0:13:31leave of absence, leaving only one partner in situ, which was hardly fair on poor old Heston?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You can't blame Howard for that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Quite. Daniel was ill and needed a break.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39And as you refused to leave any details of your plans,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I had no choice but to take on a locum.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Emma has been an extremely valuable team member.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Who was offered a long term contract and declined for personal reasons.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51In which case she's an unjustified expense and should be let go.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53And while we're talking about temps,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57I need to know what on earth possessed you to take on this Valerie creature
0:13:57 > 0:14:00whom I am reliably informed was nothing short of mentally ill?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I came to see if you needed a helping hand.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Oh, thank you.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19I'm sorry. I wasn't much of a support in there.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Do not worry.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24They are quite a formidable group.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And I am beginning to realise how much courage it takes
0:14:29 > 0:14:32to stand as one against a majority.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42"Five. Organise, oversee and evaluate IT training for all levels of staff."
0:14:42 > 0:14:44A course was planned for the new configurations.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47But you thought it better to take the entire staff,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51including a temp, on some imbecilic assault course.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Planning to achieve what exactly?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It was a valuable team-building exercise.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00In the end.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I didn't go.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04The IT training was postponed because of roofing
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and boiler problems.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Why were there boiler and roof problems?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Did they both go wrong simultaneously or is that yet
0:15:12 > 0:15:14another symptom of your neglect?
0:15:16 > 0:15:17Holly Fox.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Did you or did you not consider merging practices with
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Cumberland House? - How did you know about that?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24I have my sources.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27Holly made an offer
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and was pushing for a decision in a very short amount of time.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I told her I had to consult the partners.- I wasn't consulted.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Because it didn't get that far. I deemed it inappropriate.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40It's down to the partners to make decisions about things like this. Not you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Then there was "Intercomgate" - where you achieved the impossible
0:15:44 > 0:15:48and managed to make even me feel sorry for Princess Pinky.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Then there's the practice website - hasn't been updated, sloppy and unprofessional,
0:15:52 > 0:15:54and yet you have still managed to find the time
0:15:54 > 0:15:58to have this office painted THE most disgusting colour imaginable.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02So at least you have achieved something!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What the hell!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18What the hell d'you think you're doing?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I hope for your sake it wasn't you that called them.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Oh, I wish it was.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24This is our fault.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27We should have known better than to step on the tigress's tail.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33No, this isn't down to you. Somebody's feeding her biased information.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Surely not.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Rest assured, I'll smoke them out, because this is far from over.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Again, I'm not paying you a penny.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50So get over here and remove this ticket, or I'll call the police.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Do you have any idea who I am!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Ah!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Doctor Carmichael.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Blast from the past.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Thought we'd seen the last of you.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Well, you thought wrong.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Dave.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05All right?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07You know this lowlife?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10That's no way to talk about the Head of Campus Enforcement.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12We're not on campus.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13Captain Bellamy subcontracted them
0:17:13 > 0:17:16to oversee the new parking restrictions.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Dedicated spaces for staff starts today.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Needless to say - long overdue.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Well, then, will you kindly tell "Dave" that,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26since I am a member of staff,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29he's to remove his ticket from my car immediately!
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Ooh-ah!
0:17:32 > 0:17:34No can do.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36You aren't displaying a valid permit
0:17:36 > 0:17:40and are thus in irrefutable breach of the regulations.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Don't blame him. It's the nature of security.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We're enforcers, not law makers.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Then what am I supposed to do?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Er...
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Pay up. I suppose you could lodge an appeal.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Although technically you don't have a leg to stand on.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Where have they come from?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Mrs Riley.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Smooth operator!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Hello.- Chocolate?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- No, thank you.- Old boot-face never gives me chocolates.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Because you don't listen to her whine on about her cats!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Hey! He's taking all the triangles.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15These people - they don't show their faces all year and we're
0:18:15 > 0:18:19expected to welcome them with open arms at Christmas and Easter.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Marry them and christen their children.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Is it better to turn them away?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Maybe some may like what they see and be encouraged to return.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33We'll be nothing more than a glorified community centre.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35But surely, the right place for our church
0:18:35 > 0:18:37IS at the heart of the community.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40They'll wander in, get hatched, matched, and dispatched.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43And that's the last we'll see of them.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48As a fisherman himself, the Lord understands that we need to
0:18:48 > 0:18:51cast our net wide in poorly stocked water.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54And even if a few fish slip through the net,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59as long as we catch a few, then it will all be worthwhile.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Mr Bellamy had no authority to sign a car-parking contract
0:19:03 > 0:19:07on behalf of the Mill, so consider it terminated with immediate effect.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10KNOCK ON DOOR
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Yes.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Karen. Who'd have thought it?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I'm actually glad to see you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Tough being back?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Who are all these people?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28They're all right once you get to know them.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Now then, the rumour is you gave Howard a right pasting.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So come on, then. What's the goss?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- All those in favour... - "All that the Father..."
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Something you wanted to add, Doreen?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me,
0:19:45 > 0:19:50"and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out."
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Very well said.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Our new reverend is somewhat bullish.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04But there is a common theme.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06We need to attract fresh blood.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11We need to be more welcoming, more inclusive.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Otherwise in a generation's time,
0:20:16 > 0:20:21our entire congregation will be lying out there in the churchyard.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25How dare you accuse us of being unwelcoming and exclusive.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29I'm sure we don't mean to come across like that.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35But maybe we're sometimes guilty without realising.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Take the flower rota.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42One might be forgiven for thinking it's exclusive
0:20:42 > 0:20:45and resistant to new membership.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Although I'm sure that's not the case at all.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Just because there have always been 12 ladies on the rota,
0:20:55 > 0:20:59doesn't mean we can't have 15...
0:20:59 > 0:21:01MUTTERING
0:21:02 > 0:21:04..or 20?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06LOUDER MUMBLING
0:21:06 > 0:21:08What is she talking about?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11So if you're not back permanently, why are you here?
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Protecting my investment by making sure Howard never becomes partner.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19He's all right. Once you get under the stuffed shirt.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22So that's the only reason, then?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23I have no idea what you mean.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29My private life is none of your business,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32but to pre-empt the inevitable gossip and speculation,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34feel free to spread the word that, from now on,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Daniel and my relationship is purely professional.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40If you say so.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Did I say I was glad to see you?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I take it back.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I never thought I'd see you brainwashed.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I am nothing of the sort.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But I do agree with Reverend Clement
0:21:58 > 0:22:02when he says as Christians - we, all of us -
0:22:02 > 0:22:08have a duty to spread the word of God as far and as wide as possible.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11You and the vicar seem to agree on rather a lot.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Are you suggesting we just kowtow to him?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Certainly not.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I find some of his proposals as repugnant as you do.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22The pews for example.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Those pews are hand-carved Victorian oak.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30And I for one will not set foot in St Bernadette's
0:22:30 > 0:22:31if he rips out those pews
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and replaces them with removable seating.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37As for some of his other ideas...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Reverend Clement is being accused of demanding
0:22:42 > 0:22:45change for change's sake.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, perhaps we are guilty of resisting
0:22:48 > 0:22:51change for resistance's sake.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Nonsense.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I suggest that we reconvene
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and next time we invite the Reverend to attend.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04We owe him a full and fair hearing at the very least.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05All those in favour.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I would like to propose another vote.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22That the flower rota be opened up to as many new members as wish
0:23:22 > 0:23:23to get involved.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26All those in favour.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Carried.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38HE KNOCKS THE WINDOW
0:23:39 > 0:23:41HE MOUTHS
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Oh... Thank you.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59It is a little premature for that.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Your battle has only just begun.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Lucky I'm well up for a fight!
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I suppose a commendable quality in an evangelist.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'm flattered you see me as an evangelist.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It does not mean you can rely on me to do your bidding.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19On this occasion I said yes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22But I am not a woman who is easily manipulated.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25You're a remarkable woman who I would rather have as a friend
0:24:25 > 0:24:27than an enemy.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I hope I can consider you a friend.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I'd better be getting back to work.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54KNOCK ON DOOR Yes.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06While I admit some of your points were valid, may I remind you
0:25:06 > 0:25:09because of your enforced absence, I was pretty much on my own.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Oh, boo hoo!
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Heston's interest in the running of the practice
0:25:13 > 0:25:17veered from disinterest to micromanagement.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Daniel was away with the fairies and your position was undefined, leaving us in limbo.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23What was I supposed to do?
0:25:23 > 0:25:28My request to be a partner surely shows my commitment to this business!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32If things were that bad, it shows a distinct lack of business acumen.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35May I remind you, I'm still practice manager and I'm not happy about
0:25:35 > 0:25:39you turning up here with no notice whatsoever and questioning its running.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Particularly when your movements in recent months have been
0:25:42 > 0:25:45nothing less than erratic and damaging.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49May I remind YOU that, as a partner, I can largely dictate my own terms
0:25:49 > 0:25:52as long as I make proper provision.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Which I have.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Silent partner.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Yes, about that. I've changed my mind.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- What do you mean?- I've decided to return where I'm clearly needed. For the foreseeable future.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05You can't do that without notice.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08If you check my partnership agreement,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I think you'll find that I can.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I've taken the liberty of making you a copy.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I've also included figures which show that with demographic changes,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20you're going to need me in addition to the extra staff.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23You can peruse that at your leisure.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Oh, and Howard,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27dispose of this at the same time, if you will.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45You can't tell me what to do.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You don't want to get hurt, then go.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50You stay.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54There are only two places.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Because I want to have dinner with you.- Why?
0:26:58 > 0:26:59How's my action?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Yeah, you've got fantastic action.
