0:00:29 > 0:00:32Jimmi, hope you're not looking for your presents!

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- No.- You're not going running are you? I've got plans.

0:00:35 > 0:00:43I was going to open my presents first. You know, make time, make time for that.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44- Ah! Cunning!- Happy birthday!

0:00:54 > 0:00:57- I thought it could be a stress buster.- Stress buster?

0:00:57 > 0:01:00It's only a small present. You're meant to open THAT ONE first.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- There must be something else! - Open that one.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07But that's a... And that's a shirt!

0:01:07 > 0:01:12Yeah, a Fabrizio designer shirt! It was supposed to be a surprise.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15All right, OK. OK.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18So, this is still a surprise, is it? Wonder what it is.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Oh!

0:01:20 > 0:01:22That's fantastic! Thank you.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Do you not like Mister Huggit?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31I'm going to have a go at this right now! Best birthday present ever! Yee-hee!

0:01:36 > 0:01:37ETHEREAL PAN PIPE MUSIC

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Sorry!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Life's too short for Tai Chi.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58You're not kidding!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Slow motion is definitely not my speed of choice.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I meant when we could be spending time together.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'm sorry, I'm not usually so forward.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Do you hear me complaining?

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Do you mind if I take your arm?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14My arm, my leg anything you want.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20These holistic sessions will be over soon.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22We might not see each other again.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm in love with you, Anthony.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30That's the best news I've had for a very long time.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Are we mad?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Nah! Love's the best cure for cancer I can think of.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- I'm having second thoughts about putting Patti on the drugs trial. - Hallelujah! She's seen the light!

0:02:45 > 0:02:50All right, but it's too late to do anything about it now.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Not necessarily. You could confess.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Talk to Kevin, that's a great idea, he'd have my guts for garters!

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Kevin in a pair of garters. That I would love to see!

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Mandy, it's not funny!

0:03:01 > 0:03:08Sorry. Well, what I suggest you do is speak to Howard. Today.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Like he's going to go any easier on me?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15No. But at least he'll be business-like about it.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17You'll have to lay it on thick.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21You love your aunty and you let your feelings get in the way of your professional judgement.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24You think he'd buy it?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26It's the truth, isn't it?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Yeah, pretty much.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Better now than when the trial's further down the line.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Then it really will be too late.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42I love my new house,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45but I really miss popping round for a natter and a coffee.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Bet you wouldn't move back, though. - Maybe not.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51You're just going to have to come and live near me.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Kingsvale? Fat chance of that.

0:03:53 > 0:03:58Ooh, Paula, your blood pressure reading's a bit higher than normal.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Anything to panic about?

0:03:59 > 0:04:05Maybe not, but I think you should go and see Doctor Carmichael.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09What could she do? I'm already on the medication.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13She'd probably just tell me to take it easy, put my feet up and go home.

0:04:13 > 0:04:14That would not be a bad idea.

0:04:14 > 0:04:20I'll be fine. It's just this surprise party I'm doing for Tony. It's running me ragged.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22You know it's more than that.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Taking care of a sick husband takes it out of you, and Tony...

0:04:25 > 0:04:30um, he's a handful at the best of times.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Men, eh? Can't live with them, can't live...

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Listen, I'm free this afternoon.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Why don't I come and help you?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42D'you mean that?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Oh, great!- You just sort what needs doing and give me a bell.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Ah, thanks, Karen, you're a pal. Thank you. I'll speak to you later.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53You take care.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57When I was a novice in the convent,

0:04:57 > 0:05:01I was taught that the desire for money was ungodly and corrupt.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Here you are, a successful businessman.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07All the accoutrements of wealth

0:05:07 > 0:05:10and you don't have an evil bone in your body.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I'm not exactly an angel.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Me neither. The pleasures of the flesh are too tempting!

0:05:16 > 0:05:20I just hate the feeling that life is,

0:05:20 > 0:05:23not so much passing me by as swerving to avoid me.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26It's like, just because you've got a life-threatening illness you

0:05:26 > 0:05:28lose your stake in normality.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I wouldn't admit that to anyone but you.

0:05:33 > 0:05:34We wouldn't be having this conversation

0:05:34 > 0:05:36if we didn't both have cancer.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Are you having doubts?

0:05:38 > 0:05:39No, not at all, Anthony.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I never believed I'd fall in love,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45I just never thought it would happen to me.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51I thought those days had gone, best years of my life had passed me by.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Well, then!

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Say we didn't have a disease in common.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Would I be the kind of girl you'd take out on that schooner of yours?

0:06:00 > 0:06:02A luxury liner's more your style.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Jane, after my divorce I thought I'd never love again.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You talk about wasted years.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I know that feeling, believe me.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19For the man who has everything.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's get a room at the Rockingham Hotel.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25- When?- Tonight.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Let's be reckless.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Top of the range.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I can see that. It's got one of those clever GPS devices.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yes, it knows when you're on a multi-terrine run.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37That's "terrain", Cherry.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40And while we're on the subject, a little gift from me.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42Oh! Cheers, Elaine. Thank you.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Ah, exactly what I needed! Thank you, Elaine.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- What's that, Boozer's Guide to Dens of Iniquity'? - Back to your puzzle, geek!

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Geek? She bought this for you, didn't she?- Brains and brawn, that's me.- More like scrawn.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59A bit of exercise wouldn't do you any harm, Daniel.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Yeah, you're getting a beer belly, mate.- What! This is pure, toned muscle.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Achieved without becoming a fitness bore.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08There's more than one way to get fit, y'know.

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Jimmi!

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- But you're always too exhausted. How sad.- I'd give you a run for your money any day of the week.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Solved it.- No way!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Better undo it. Don't want to spoil it for Jimbo.- Let's have a look!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- No.- Oi! Give it...- Whey-hey!

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Give it here!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Daniel Granger, you liar!

0:07:27 > 0:07:32Checklist. I've got balloons, banners, party poppers.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Paula, do you not think you're going a bit over the top?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36This is going to be a party to remember.

0:07:36 > 0:07:41Sounds like it. So, am I on butty duty, or what?

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Actually, I wondered

0:07:42 > 0:07:45if you wouldn't mind picking up Tony's cake from Davidson's?

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Paula, do you not think you're getting a bit stressed,

0:07:48 > 0:07:49I told you about that.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50'It's not worth it.'

0:07:50 > 0:07:52If I don't do this party,

0:07:52 > 0:07:54I might regret it for the rest of my life.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Er, right, listen, in case you're back before me,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02I'll leave the back door keys under the bin, OK?

0:08:02 > 0:08:05OK. See you later.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06See you.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15What are you doing home?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Oh, nice to see you, too.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I thought you were at the holistic centre all day.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Nah, gets a bit samey after a while.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Mate of mine's asked me to go fishing.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24Which mate?

0:08:24 > 0:08:27From the centre. Fellow sufferer.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Name?- Keith.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Surname?- Moon.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36Wasn't he in The Who?

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah, yeah. He gets that all the time.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40What's with the third degree, anyway?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44When is this supposed to be happening, then?

0:08:44 > 0:08:49- Tonight. So we can make an early start in the morning.- Tony, it's your birthday on Saturday!

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Don't panic, I'll be back in good time.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Mike and Steve can't make it at the weekend.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- They're going down to the caravan in Wiltshire. And Uncle Stan said... - Hang on!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59You're not planning a party, are you?

0:09:05 > 0:09:06It was supposed to be a surprise.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Who the hell has a party when they're 44?

0:09:09 > 0:09:10It's different for you.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Oh, I see. I could be dead next year?

0:09:14 > 0:09:15Yes.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Well, thanks for the vote of confidence!

0:09:17 > 0:09:20Listen, I've got some shopping to do.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24I've gone to a lot of trouble with this party, Tony, so it's going ahead, whether you like it or not.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27OK, you never know, you might even enjoy yourself!

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Here, blow up a few balloons while you're waiting.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Howard. Would you like a cup of tea?

0:09:45 > 0:09:49No, thank you. I have to plough through some stats.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Right, so now it's probably not a good time.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53For what?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Fire away, then.

0:10:00 > 0:10:01OK. It's a little bit tricky.

0:10:01 > 0:10:02MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Excuse me.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08If it's important, I'll be in my office. If not, do not disturb.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'll leave you to your chit-chat.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12PHONE CONTINUES TO RING

0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's Patti.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20Hi, lovely, are you OK?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Freya, I just had to ring you, love.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Why? What's wrong? - Nothing! I feel like a new woman.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30But what happened to the flu symptoms?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33'They'd gone by lunch-time yesterday.'

0:10:33 > 0:10:37And then, bit by bit, the pain started to ease as well.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40And now, I can flex all my fingers.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's nothing more than a miracle.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45That's...that's brilliant!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47And I've got you to thank!

0:10:47 > 0:10:52I don't know about that but I'm really glad you're feeling better.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54'Don't be so modest!'

0:10:54 > 0:10:57If you hadn't got me onto the drugs trial.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58CAR PULLS UP OUTSIDE

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Oh, listen, love, my taxi's here.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06I'm going to the pub with Beryl. Speak later.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07OK, bye.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11You still need to come clean, Freya.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14And take all that away from her? I don't think so.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18She's going to benefit from this trial anyway. Eventually.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Eventually? Oh, yeah.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25That's if NICE approves the drug for general NHS use.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27And there's no guarantee of that.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Patti would not want you to jeopardise your career. If she knew...- Well, she doesn't

0:11:31 > 0:11:33and I'd like to keep it that way.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I'm not backing down from this, Mandy, OK?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42ANSWERPHONE MESSAGE

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Jane, could you give me a ring as soon as you get this?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49There's a problem about tonight, and...

0:11:49 > 0:11:51DOORBELL RINGS

0:11:57 > 0:11:58Hi!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00AIR SPLURTS OUT OF BALLOON

0:12:00 > 0:12:02I followed you.

0:12:05 > 0:12:11I was ringing to explain about tonight, and here you are!

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Who was that woman?

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Woman? Where?

0:12:15 > 0:12:16I just saw her leaving.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19That's not a woman, that's my sister.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22And, er, this is her house.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23Ah, that explains it!

0:12:23 > 0:12:26She's throwing a surprise party. Wouldn't you just know!

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Darling, you didn't tell me it was your birthday!

0:12:31 > 0:12:35It's not actually today.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39Anyway, this is what I was ringing to tell you.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41It really scuppers our arrangements.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Why? We can go to the hotel after the party.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47I am invited, aren't I?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Er, I'm not sure that's a good idea.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- In other words, you don't want me to come?- No, it's not that.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Have you ever seen the Addams Family?

0:12:56 > 0:12:58- I thought you were ready to make a commitment?- I am.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02- It doesn't seem that way to me. - No, Jane, wait. Listen.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to stop us

0:13:06 > 0:13:08spending time together.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21I want to spend the whole evening with you, just the two of us.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Tonight?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Yes, tonight.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38KEY IN DOOR

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Would you believe it? I went all the way into town without my purse.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45You must be Anthony's sister!

0:13:48 > 0:13:51And you must be Keith Moon.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00Um... Shall we go in?

0:14:13 > 0:14:17Right, let's start again, shall we?

0:14:17 > 0:14:21I'm Paula Salisbury, Tony's wife.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23I'm sorry.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25And you must be?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Barbara Frasier, isn't it?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm Karen, from the Mill.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31Her name's Jane Finch.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's amazing. Must have a twin?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35I think I should leave.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37No, stay!

0:14:38 > 0:14:39Jane and I...

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Maybe you were separated at birth?

0:14:42 > 0:14:43Give it a rest, will you, Karen!

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Don't talk to my friend like that!

0:14:45 > 0:14:47There's no easy way to say this.

0:14:47 > 0:14:48There never is, is there?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Paula, this is not like the other times.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53This is the real thing.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57OK, we've both got cancer and maybe you think we're desperate.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00That's interesting because, this Barbara, her husband died of cancer.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02It was a terrible shame

0:15:02 > 0:15:04because they'd only been married a few weeks.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06She got the lot, sold up, and disappeared.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08All of this has got nothing to do with Jane.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Please, just let me leave.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12If you go, I'm coming with you.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Oh, go on. Be a pal, take him off me hands!

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Not a chance. You're welcome to him.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18You've been conned, Tony.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20You lied to me?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I think we're probably quits on that one, aren't we?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I take it we're not going to be

0:15:25 > 0:15:27sipping cocktails on the Aegean coast?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I was trying to impress you.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Look, Jane, our moments together were very precious to me.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37You can't fake that kind of chemistry.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45Let's put the past behind us, be reckless, like you wanted.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49You're angry. I can understand that.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55You are a desperate, pathetic, shell of a man.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Now is that enough for you to step aside?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Enjoy your party, Anthony.

0:16:05 > 0:16:06DOOR SHUTS

0:16:10 > 0:16:12You've had this coming for years.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Fancy popping into town for the chicken wings?- You're not going ahead with the party!

0:16:24 > 0:16:29Why not? He deserves to be punished, doesn't he?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Paula, get real? He nearly walked out on you.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36He'd never do that. He knows which side his bread's buttered.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Oh.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44I need it to do it to take my mind off things, the party.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46That man does not deserve you.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51How would I handle it?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Waking up, realising he's not there?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56You must think I'm pathetic.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58I have never thought that.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01He's the one who ought to be ashamed.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05But he's so ill.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06Ill? He wants seeing off.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Quick, get me a tissue, please!

0:17:14 > 0:17:15Paula.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Don't you "Paula" me.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20When we get back, I want you showered and in a clean shirt.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Come on, Karen.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30KNOCK ON DOOR

0:17:30 > 0:17:32Yep, come in!

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Doctor Wilson, thank goodness you are still here.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40One of Doctor Carter's patients has asked for a home visit.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43OK. Can he come in tomorrow morning?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Then he can see Heston.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52It is just very painful for him to breathe.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55A pleasant young man, he doesn't normally complain.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58Perhaps I was a little hasty in assuming that you would be

0:17:58 > 0:17:59willing to help him.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you're right.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04Are those his details?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Indeed they are.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Thank you. Well, why don't you go home and I'll lock up?

0:18:10 > 0:18:16Oh! Thank you, that is very thoughtful, Doctor Wilson.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Have a drink and try and enjoy yourself.

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Yes.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32I think we should cut the cake.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Whoa! Did we just get married?

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Speech!- What's he like?

0:18:38 > 0:18:44Just a few words. It's not every day you're 44, eh?

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Though, actually, it's not till Saturday, but, hey.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51This is a fantastic spread, eh, Uncle Stan!

0:18:51 > 0:18:56And it's all down to my lovely wife, Paula.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58I did a good day's work marrying her.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04These past few months haven't been easy,

0:19:04 > 0:19:09but one thing I've been certain of is Paula by my side.

0:19:10 > 0:19:11I'm one lucky guy!

0:19:11 > 0:19:12Hear, hear!

0:19:12 > 0:19:15Anyway, the boss says it's time to have some cake.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18So, fill your boots. And see you next year!

0:19:18 > 0:19:19Happy birthday!

0:19:21 > 0:19:25I can't get... I can't get the knife through the cake.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26Paula, what's wrong?

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- It's this icing, it's rock hard! - Let me have a go.

0:19:29 > 0:19:30Paula!

0:19:30 > 0:19:34Oh. I'm all right. Just felt a bit dizzy, that's all.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Come on, you need to lie down.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39My call, Karen! Looks like the cake's off the menu.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Thanks for coming, yeah?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I'm fine, I'm fine. - You're worn out, love.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Come on.- I'm fine!

0:19:51 > 0:19:53What happened to you?

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Few puddles on the towpath.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57You mean, you got lost!

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Do you want a cold drink?

0:20:00 > 0:20:04No, cold bath, more like. Warm water makes your muscles swell.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05Nothing worse after a run.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Don't expect me to wash your back.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Watch is working great, by the way. It's waterproof!

0:20:17 > 0:20:19She's having a nap.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Ah, you've cleared up. You're an angel.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Cut the smarm. I didn't do it for you.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Is that any way to talk to a sick man?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Sick or not, I wouldn't give you house room!

0:20:28 > 0:20:29Not a lot of empathy, have you?

0:20:29 > 0:20:33- For someone with so-called medical training.- Empathy! You...

0:20:33 > 0:20:36The only person you care about is yourself.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Maybe I'm finding it hard coping with cancer.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You've been cheating on her all your married life.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43This thing with "Jane" takes the biscuit!

0:20:43 > 0:20:47The very time when you and Paula should be closer together,

0:20:47 > 0:20:48supporting each other!

0:20:48 > 0:20:50It's complicated.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Right, well, let me make it really simple.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56If you don't start behaving yourself, you could lose her.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59She'd never leave me.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00You just don't get it, do you?

0:21:00 > 0:21:05You've put her under so much stress, you could outlive her!

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I've seen it happen to carers and I am damned

0:21:07 > 0:21:09if I'm going to let it happen to my mate.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Don't be daft!- Daft, is it?

0:21:11 > 0:21:15You'd better knuckle down and show some respect...Tony,

0:21:15 > 0:21:17before it's too late.

0:21:19 > 0:21:20DOOR SLAMS

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Whoa! That's massive?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Yeah, you said you wanted to eat more pasta.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, but before a run, not after.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44This is supposed to be a special birthday treat, yeah?

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Yeah. That was the idea.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Cheers. Happy Birthday, Jimmi!

0:21:50 > 0:21:51Thank you.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Your lips are freezing!

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Cold lips are the least of my problems.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Maybe we can do something about that later.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Did you go anywhere nice?

0:22:18 > 0:22:19No.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Thing is, when you're running,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25you're more focused on the process of running.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Body rhythm. Breath.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Pace. Stride. Terrain.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35When I get into more long-distance stuff,

0:22:35 > 0:22:38I'm definitely going to do the A456.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40It's really varied for an A road

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Strawberry trifle?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Hm? Oh, no. Too much dairy.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Jimmi, why don't you go and chill out on the sofa? I'll tidy up.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54OK.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Argh, hamstrings.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08So you've seen Doctor Carter.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Yeah, he did some tests. He said the lupus had got worse.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Only, my partner's heavily pregnant and needs her sleep. I don't want to be pacing the floor

0:23:16 > 0:23:17all night if I can help it.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21Course you don't. I'm just going to listen to your chest.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23OK.

0:23:23 > 0:23:27Just relax. When's the baby due?

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Couple of months. We're both really looking forward to it.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Good.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Right, love, if you just lean forward for me.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Sorry if this is a bit cold.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Ooh!

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Right, take a big breath for me.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45HE BREATHES IN

0:23:45 > 0:23:47And out.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49That's brilliant. And one more.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Pop your top back on.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02It's a shame this didn't all kick off when they were recruiting for the drug trial.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04- What?- I was nominated,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07but didn't make it. Just my luck, eh?

0:24:26 > 0:24:28It's all quiet now, then, eh?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yeah. Just you and me.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Just that blip with the cake.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41And you nearly fainting.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44I'll get on the phone to Davidson's first thing in the morning.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I ordered Royal icing, not Artex.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Quite right, love.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53Cup of tea?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah. Why not?

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Who's done all the clearing up?

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Me. Thought I'd start as I mean to go on.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Jimmi...

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Now it's time for your real birthday surprise.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31How about one of my special massages?

0:25:33 > 0:25:34MUSIC STARTS

0:25:34 > 0:25:36The question is...

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Should I get undressed?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Or are you going to do it for me?

0:25:45 > 0:25:46What do you think, big boy!

0:25:58 > 0:26:02OK, I'm going to prescribe you some cocodamol for the pain.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07At this rate, I won't be able to carry my own baby.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10I'm really sorry, love.

0:26:10 > 0:26:11Why? It's not your fault.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14I've got a philosophy I stick by.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17There's always someone worse off than yourself.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Turns out to be true in this situation.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22How?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Whoever made it onto the drug trial is in a worse state than me.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Stands to reason, surely.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31And, I'm lucky in so many other ways.

0:26:32 > 0:26:33Yeah, I suppose so.

0:26:33 > 0:26:35If you think about it, I'm the one sitting back

0:26:35 > 0:26:37and reaping all the benefits.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39What do you mean?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41Whatever they find on the trials is going to help me.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44And I'll get all that without having to be a guinea pig.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46The wonders of modern medicine.

0:26:54 > 0:26:55What's your problem?

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Lads like you. You're my problem.

0:26:58 > 0:26:59How are you?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02I haven't felt this good in a long time.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Well? I think there's a gap in the market.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Hello. I'm phoning about the concierge service?

0:27:08 > 0:27:09I can help you get organised.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10I'll call the police!

0:27:10 > 0:27:12See how you like being locked up again.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Thank you, Dr Wilson.

0:27:14 > 0:27:15Bye.
