0:00:29 > 0:00:30BABY SCREAMS
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Hello, little man!
0:00:36 > 0:00:39We thought we'd stop by and say hello. That is great.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44But I've got patients. You can slip out for half an hour, can't you?
0:00:44 > 0:00:48No. Not that it isn't lovely to see you.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Daniel, you can't keep bringing him in here.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55He might catch something from one of these disgusting students.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59BABY BABBLES
0:00:59 > 0:01:01OK. We will go to the park. What do you think?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Haven't you got any friends you can call in on?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Not that have any kids, no.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08You need to get some new friends. Actually, that reminds me.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11There is something that I picked this up for you the other day.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Playgroup for dads.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16That looks...horrible.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19If you're looking for adult conversation...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Right. And the moment they find out that I'm a doctor,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24they'll all want to show me their verrucas. So don't go.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Or don't tell them.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Keep it, do something.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30You, come on.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Right.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40HE YAWNS Sorry. I didn't get much sleep last night.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Burning the candle at both ends? I was finishing my pantomime script.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Oh, no, you weren't. Oh, yes, he did.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Actually, I'm quite pleased with it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I think I've struck the right balance of satire
0:01:50 > 0:01:54and traditional clowning, drawing on the French and Italian influences
0:01:54 > 0:01:56of Arlecchino and La Bouffon.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah, we're talking about pantomime.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Blokes in dresses, bad one liners.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Certainly not.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, I can't wait to read it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I haven't finished it yet.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Maybe I could type it up for you? What you've done already?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I couldn't possibly ask you to do that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12It would be my absolute pleasure.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm not called Pitman for nothing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16That's very kind of you.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Aran. Is this a game for you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Is that what this is?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Let's go outside.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30BABIES BABBLE
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Well, we're here now, let's give it a go, shall we?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Hi, I'm Daniel. This is...Joe.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Nice.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It was just a text. Is this how it's always going to be?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Every time I get myself sorted out, you pop up again to mess things up?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Look, I can't talk about this now. I've got surgery.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Oh, yeah. It's always when it's convenient for you. I'll meet you in the Icon in an hour.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I promise. We'll sort this out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Yeah, I really doubt that.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Sorry about before. It was a...nappy emergency.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, right.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Ben. It's all right, I washed my hands.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Daniel.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Sorry, bit damp. Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Did anyone show you around?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34No, we've been working it out ourselves.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I can show you. Unless you have to go?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Well, I mean...
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Come on. You're here now. You might as well.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44There's coffee.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Thank you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh! Sorry. Dave used to sort all that, but...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's not usually very good anyway.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04So are you working?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Yes. In...PR.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09That's what my wife does. What company?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13We're specialist. You probably wouldn't have heard of us.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14Jane loves all that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Makes more money than I do, so here I am.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Not that I mind.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22I quite like it, most of the time.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29We all know what that's like.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34That's about it, really. It's not much of a tour.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38There's out there and in here. Any questions?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41No, seems pretty clear.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Great. Maybe I should be a tour guide.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Maybe you should.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49No, I have a terrible sense of direction.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Come in.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Surprise!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Oh, Valerie! And so quick.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05100 words a minute.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09There was one word I wasn't sure if it was 'synagogue' or 'sausages'.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Sausages.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Right, that makes more sense.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15So what now? What's the plan?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18When are you putting it on? Well, you see, the thing is
0:05:18 > 0:05:20The Letherbridge Players are already doing a show.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So maybe we should wait till next year.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But that's ages away! Yes, but...
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Why don't we do it instead?
0:05:27 > 0:05:28To do the script justice...
0:05:28 > 0:05:30What about the Variety show? That was great.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It did have its charm.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Everyone here is so talented. And we work together really well.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41You're right. Get everyone together at lunchtime for auditions.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Brilliant. I'll make sure everyone's got a script.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48If your enthusiasm was any more infectious, we'd have an epidemic.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Thanks for your help.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56'Oh! No coffee?'
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Meant to set a reminder on my phone.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Hi, Daniel.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Martyn Beckworth, Martyn with a Y. Which one's yours?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Er, Joe. He's drawing.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oh, yes. Impressive draughtsmanship.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11We like to think so.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14It's so important they get to express themselves artistically.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Daniel works in PR.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17What about you, Martyn?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I used to work in the City until Leander was born.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Then, we moved up to be close to my wife's parents
0:06:23 > 0:06:25and, actually, I've taken on most of the childcare.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Not many men would do that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28You need to have a strategy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Don't want to feel like you're stuck at home going out of your mind all the time. Of course.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33It's not that bad...
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Sophie! Don't put marbles in your mouth.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42So, your time in the City must have been quite colourful.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Do you miss it? Being a banker and being a dad aren't that different.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Really? Constantly changing stimuli.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52The hothouse atmosphere. It must be the same in PR.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh... Yeah. Very high pressure. Lots of...
0:06:55 > 0:06:58relating. Publicly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Why does everyone always hide in the kitchen at parties, Martyn? Afternoon, Jez.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03BEEPING
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Time for your medication? Nothing like that.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Time for Leander to swap to a new activity.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Don't want him getting stuck in a rut.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Is it a bird, is it a plane?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18No, it's super-dad!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20The alarm thing is a little bit...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He's all right. Once he stops talking. Jez.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Hi. Daniel. Which one's yours?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28I haven't decided yet.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Oh! There you are.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38What's this?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Heston Carter has written a pantomime.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41It's really good.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44We're all going to be in it and the money's going to St Phil's.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Oh! And there's a meeting at two so we can hand out parts.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48You'll come, won't you, Dr Clay?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Ah, Cherry tied to drag me along to one of these once
0:07:51 > 0:07:54and as soon as the lights went down I was running for the exit.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55It was behind you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You won't be laughing when you read it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Dr Carter's put a lot of work into this.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Well, if that's the case, we will definitely be there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Great.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Really?
0:08:09 > 0:08:09Really.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Sorry about earlier.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's what you're sorry for?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Aran... You humiliate me twice over and then you think you can send me
0:08:27 > 0:08:29a text and expect me to come running?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30All I said was, "Do you want to meet?"
0:08:30 > 0:08:33It's never that simple with you. Why can't you stop torturing me?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Can't we just talk?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38The only reason I came here was to tell you
0:08:38 > 0:08:40I don't want to see you any more.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Talk about mixed messages...
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You don't want to see me so you came to see me?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It's not funny, all right?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I never said it was.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Just because you were my first love, it does not give you
0:08:51 > 0:08:53the right to keep using me every time you feel bad.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I'm not your puppet. OK?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57OK. Aran, please, just calm down.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Don't tell me to calm down!
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So we're both locked out, completely starkers.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Luckily, we found a towel by the pool.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12And, being a gentleman, I let her have it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Which model was this? I shouldn't really say.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Married to an American film director.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Lives in Berkshire. I know. You've worked with her?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Once or twice. Guys, it's time to talk.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Can't it wait?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Daniel was about to tell me what celebs he looks after.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I thought you said you were specialist.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Our approach is specialist. Our client base is broad.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We can't put this off any longer. We're almost out of loo roll.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36We all know how good Dave was at keeping this place running...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Dave was a legend. What happened to Dave?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41He left one day and he never came back.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42A bit like The Great Escape.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44He got a job.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Dave set this whole place up, basically.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We need someone to step up and take charge.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53If nobody's any objections, I'm willing to put myself forward.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54You? Absolutely.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I've got the transferable skills, plus loads of great ideas,
0:09:57 > 0:09:58BABY CRIES
0:09:58 > 0:10:00and...Leander, give that back.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Leander, share! Leander!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06You guys happy for Martyn to take charge? Martyn will change things,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08he'll get in children's entertainers and educational toys...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Maybe it won't be so bad.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14We just need a place where the kids can play and dads can chat.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17And every so often we go to the pub. What's wrong with that?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Nothing. Why don't one of you put yourselves forward? Jez?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Maybe I will.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It's not like you think.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42I mean, I can see why you might feel...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45But that isn't what I meant...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Sorry, I'm not putting this very well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Guilty conscience?
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I am genuinely, sincerely sorry for the way I treated you twice.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59But, in my defence, I can only say that each time,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I thought I was doing the right thing for both of us
0:11:02 > 0:11:03because I cared about you so much.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Funny way of showing it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I know. But I'm not playing games.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I reason I sent you that text
0:11:12 > 0:11:15is because I couldn't let you get married without saying something.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20I know I've handled things astonishingly badly,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22but probably because...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26..it scares me.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30How much I feel about you.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I know how it looks.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Most people would say I should keep my mouth shut.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But I can't.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Because if I do,
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I might throw away my one, true chance of ever being happy.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's you, Aran.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52It's always been you.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Even if I wanted to...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01..how could I ever believe anything you say again? Aran...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I never thought of you as selfish... I'm not.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05..but the whole time we were together,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07everything had to be on your terms.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm not ready. Now I'm ready. Stop and go.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You should have been a traffic cop. I didn't mean...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I never know where I am. It drives me crazy!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16In a good way? No!
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I've got to go.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Aran, please. No. I'm promised to another woman.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I will not do to her what you did to me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34OK, so each of you can speak for up to five minutes.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Then we vote.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Red for Martyn, blue for Jez.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42And then you cast your votes in the fluffy dog.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Argh!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Aran! What did you do?
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Go away. I'm fine. Let me see.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55You could have broken something. I'll go to A then.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58You can't even walk. Come on.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Lean on me.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03My track record speaks for itself.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Great. Next!
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Working in the City, I managed a team of traders,
0:13:08 > 0:13:10buying and selling billions of dollars every day,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13so I'm pretty well qualified to handle the financial side of things.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16We all know what happens when you put the bankers in charge.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17If you put me in charge,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I will make this the best dads' group in the area.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I will continue to improve the facilities
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and ensure the Council improve the every service that all
0:13:26 > 0:13:29the other playgroups in the area currently receive.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31My turn.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40We know what happens when the Council get involved.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Do you remember when they sent us that storyteller?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45All the kids got scared and then it was just us dads listening to
0:13:45 > 0:13:47him tell us stories about bunnies.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Look, all this place needs is better coffee and more trips to the pub.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Oh, and one of those portable grill things
0:13:53 > 0:13:55so we can have bacon sandwiches in the morning.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58And how are you going to pay for that? We'll work it out.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Right. So what ideas have you got for fundraising?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02The lease is up for renewal,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04how do you feel about negotiating with the landlord?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I'll give it a go.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And if that doesn't work? What happens then?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Obviously, it's a tie.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18What next?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Count them again.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24There's eight. You can't miscount eight bricks.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Daniel's new. I don't think his vote should count.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Because you know he voted for me.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31How do I know he's not one of your mates you've brought in?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You two seem very chummy.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35We were having a chinwag, you should try it.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Instead of your speeches about how perfect Leander is.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Leander is very advanced for his age.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Can you remember when he got his head stuck in the baby gate?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We had to take it apart.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49He was experimenting with spatial awareness.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Can you hear the words coming out of your mouth?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55BABY CRIES LOUDLY
0:14:57 > 0:14:59KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Sorry, Dr Carter.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12No, no, no, I was just...making notes on the script.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I just came to say everything's ready.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I bought some mince pies.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20From the bakery, not the supermarket.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Thought we'd get festive, you know, get us in the mood.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Yeah, right. Thank you for all your hard work.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32If you don't mind, I need to work on my introduction to the troops.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36So exciting!
0:15:41 > 0:15:44He can't breathe. He must have swallowed something.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Spit it out, Leander. Don't tell my son what to do!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Leander, spit it out.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Does anybody know first aid?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yeah, I do. How about the Heimlich manoeuvre?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54We don't have time to talk about this. Leander, lie down.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I'm going to get it out. Excuse me.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05All right, there's a good boy. Well done.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Just deep breaths. You'll be fine.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Marble. Yeah.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15There you go. He'll be fine.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I don't think it's broken.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Ow.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I can't believe you kicked a plant pot.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Seemed like a good idea at the time.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Yeah. That can happen.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I've been thinking about you.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41What? Before I ran into you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I do like Hamara.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Well, good. I should hope so.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51But do I like her enough?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55To spend the rest of my life with her.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You probably shouldn't ask me for advice.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You were right.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07Eh? Sometimes I think you were right to do what you did.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10No. Seriously.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I can see how hard it must have been for you to make a decision.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18It took courage. I don't think... It did.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22And even though you hurt me, more than anyone has ever hurt me...
0:17:24 > 0:17:27..I can respect that you made a choice.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So you shouldn't walk on this for a while.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38I should give you a lift home.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53He'll be fine. He's just had a bit of a shock.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55How did you know what to do?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56First aid course.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Andy thinks he's seen you at the Mill Health Centre.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh...OK.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I lied. I'm a GP.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's not that big of a deal, is it? Why would you lie to us?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08What kind of weirdo comes to a playgroup
0:18:08 > 0:18:10and lies to a load of blokes he's never met?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12We welcomed you here in good faith.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13I told you stuff about myself.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16What, the model story? Come on, you made that up.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18No, I didn't. I don't mind. It was a good story.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20What kind of a cynical, suspicious person are you?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Er... This is supposed to be somewhere for us and our children
0:18:24 > 0:18:25to feel safe.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Somewhere we can talk openly and be ourselves.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Even if it is just for one afternoon a week.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Oh, come on.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I see you and Ellie around all the time.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Afternoons, mornings.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39You're basically a stay-at-home dad just like me.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42All right, it's just a bit quiet at the moment, work-wise.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Fine. So why do you have to go on giving it the big I Am,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and making the rest of us feel like second-class citizens?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I think Ben has a point. And Martyn.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Everyone knows the Super-dad act
0:18:52 > 0:18:55is because you're scared your wife will leave you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56What? That is not true.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Probably because you kept putting it about when you were a big shot.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02No wonder she made you give it up.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03She didn't make me. I chose.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Also, my brother was at school with you.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Martyn - not spelt with a Y.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14So everyone has their secrets and that's fine.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16If Daniel wants to not be a doctor once a week,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think we should let him.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Please excuse my tardiness, I was just...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Where is everyone?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Sorry, Dr Carter.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Mandy's got clinic, Dr Granger is off,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Dr Khella has gone for lunch, and Dr Haskey...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Dr Haskey didn't really have an excuse.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36But they read the script?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Yes, I think so. Maybe we should rearrange.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39I knew this was a bad idea.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm going to do it next year with proper actors.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44But I still love it, and I'll do anything -
0:19:44 > 0:19:48costumes, set design, a leading role...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Ooh! Maybe you could rewrite it as a one-woman show?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Do you want a hand getting inside?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09I don't think that's a very good idea.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Right.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16What you said...
0:20:18 > 0:20:22If it doesn't feel right with Hamara now, what's it going to be like
0:20:22 > 0:20:25ten years down the road with three kids and a mortgage?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Trying to put me off?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I'm being realistic.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30If you have doubts...
0:20:30 > 0:20:32don't just shut them away.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Doesn't everyone have doubts? What about arranged marriages?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36What about our parents?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I don't think either of us could be happy that way, do you?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I don't think either of us could be happy that way, do you?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Thanks, Jas.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44If you wanted to confuse me, job done.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51So, what made you check this place out?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Bit embarrassing, really. It was my partner's idea.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Right.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00She says I don't have enough friends. Male friends.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03My wife worries I'm not that social any more.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Mostly I'm just knackered.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Of course you are. But I don't need to be looked after.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11If I want to make friends, I'll make them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12That's right. Exactly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16So, um...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Pint some time?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yeah, why not?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23What about Friday? I've got an interview.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'll probably need a pint after that. What's the job?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Working for a catering company.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30The money's not bad, and if we can get a childminder...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Yeah, work it out.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The last job interview I had, I messed it up.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I got really nervous. And sweaty.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46That's normal. Really sweaty. And I couldn't breath.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49It could have been some kind of panic attack.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51You think so?
0:21:51 > 0:21:55If you're worried, make an appointment with your GP.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Do you think drugs would work?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It's an option.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Another would be to try a talking therapy.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But you should talk to your GP.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06A lot of these drugs have side-effects.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So you're taking something for depression
0:22:08 > 0:22:11and in the small print it says, "May cause depression."
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Your GP will be able to help you with that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15But what would you do?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21So you think I should break up with Hamara?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Whatever you decide, you need to do what's best for you, no-one else.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31You need to be...selfish.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'm sorry I said that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, you were right.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I did what I thought was best at the time.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40But it doesn't mean I was right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So how will I know if I'm doing the right thing?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46The important thing is that you have to be happy.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Even if that means not being with me.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52And a promise isn't an engagement,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55so if you need to break it off, you should.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Of course your family will be disappointed. Again.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But that's no reason to do something that will make you unhappy
0:23:02 > 0:23:04for the rest of your life.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07That's your advice? As a friend?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10That's my advice.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13You drive me crazy.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18What? Can't you just say, "Aran, leave her and be with me"?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21No, because it's your choice. That's what your text was saying.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24No, it wasn't. That's what it meant. Or else, why send it?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I just wanted you to have all the information.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27No, I can't do this.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Aran... I can't talk to you right now, OK?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Pretty much anything can be a symptom of anything.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Keep away from websites which aren't run by the NHS.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And even then, there's no substitute for seeing your doctor.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Well, I've got you now, haven't I?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Look, Ben, we've got to go.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yeah, no worries. I'll give you a call about that pint.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I'll have to talk to Zara. It's pretty busy at work.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Why don't I call you? Right.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00I will.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03If you don't want to be friends, just say.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04But I thought we were getting on.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05We were, OK.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Look, it's not you, it's me.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I've heard that before. I'm just not ready for that kind of relationship.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17That's not what you said before. Well, things have changed.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I haven't changed. If you want to know the truth,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22the reason I don't tell people I'm a doctor is cos the moment I do,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25they immediately start telling me about their mysterious aches and pains.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I was just showing an interest.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30No, you weren't. Frankly...I felt used.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I wouldn't do that. Whatever. Good luck with the interview.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Come on, darling. Like you care.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Dan, we'd just like to say sorry for the way we behaved earlier.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Don't worry about it. Jez and I have decided to run the group together.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47And we were both hoping we could put this behind us and start again.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Maybe next week, OK? Great.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Before you go, I was wondering if you could have a look at this mole.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56That's not a mole. This is a mole.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Come on, that's a pimple at best.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00You're a pimple.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Oh, that's very grown up...
0:25:02 > 0:25:03KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
0:25:03 > 0:25:06How was it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:07You don't want to know.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10You didn't even try.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13You know what, I'm not going to spend my time on some idiot
0:25:13 > 0:25:16just because we share a nappy bag and an X chromosome.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18So in the meantime, my partner's a Billy-no-mates.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Listen to me.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I will socialise with whom I want, when I want.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And tonight, I want to socialise with you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Another night on the sofa watching TV.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34No, I've arranged for the sitter to stay late.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35We're going out.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Going out out?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Sarastro's, seven o'clock. Don't be late.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Sorry I didn't make it to the meeting. Did you have many takers?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Only Valerie. So you may as well put that in the bin
0:25:54 > 0:25:55along with all the rest.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Oh, mate. Look, I was at the Campus all day and I couldn't get away.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Maybe it was a bad day.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Or maybe something else is bad.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07No! Look, it'll be a right laugh. Same as the talent show.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I'm sure I can drum up a few more bodies.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Really? Absolutely. Twist some arms.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I don't want to bully people into doing something they don't want to.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17It's not like that. I think it's really good.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21But it might help if you were a little less...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Heston-ish about it all.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I beg your par... What does that mean?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Oh, you know. Sometimes you can be a bit...
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I don't understand, how can I stop being me?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Well...
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And what's wrong with me being me, anyway? Nothing. Nothing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Good. Right, I accept your offer of help.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42As long as you realise that the director has the final word.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yeah, fine.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48"A man in his time plays many parts."
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Shakespeare.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I couldn't have put it better myself.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Me neither...
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Gosh, that's a scary-looking bat.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Can we all just get out of this room, please?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09He did look pretty masterful
0:27:09 > 0:27:10standing there with his flared
0:27:10 > 0:27:13nostrils and his big bat. In his pants.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Oh, I wonder who he's saving that bed for.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Mrs Tembe said that you might want to have a go at driving my car.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21No way!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah!
