0:00:50 > 0:00:52I hate porridge.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Well, you liked it well enough yesterday.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58There are people starving in the world.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01They'd have to be to eat that.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What do you want, then?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Just want to be not bored!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Well, there is a whole pile of washing...
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I'd rather go to work.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Well, that is out of the question. - Why?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Because last time, you were indiscreet.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And besides, Mr Bellamy is back from leave...
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- So?- So, I am sorry, but the answer is no.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Well, I'll just have to go back down town, then.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33What for?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Oh, Graham, I'm sorry!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Oh, Dr Carter, it is a work of genius!
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- What is?- Cinderella!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Oh, I'd almost forgotten about all that!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Oh! I only hope I can do it justice.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I have every faith in you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Has anyone else expressed an opinion?- No.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm apprehensive about the read-through at lunch-time.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Trust me, you've got nothing to worry about.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I expect it's the artistic temperament that makes you nervous.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yes. It's my first venture as a writer.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- You are kidding me. - No, it is absolutely true.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44The muse awakened in me and I experienced an epiphany.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46The muse. Of course.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50The words flowed through my pen, as if they had a life of their own.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- I could barely keep up.- Perhaps it's your destiny to be a writer.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57You do hear of people who start writing when they're quite old...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Not that I'm saying you're old exactly,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01more...not young, if you see what I mean?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58No sign of life.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Probably a single blow to the head.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02How long do you reckon?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06The body's still warm... Flaccid.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Three hours, maybe less.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Can you smell something?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16No, no, no. I mean, like a foodie smell?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Yeah. Bacon. Smoked.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22That's it!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Y'know, apart from the corpse, this place could be a show home.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well, there's no law against being tidy!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The wife was at home when it happened.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32She's being consoled in the next room.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Hm. I should tell you, I know Nikki Cranson. Professionally, anyway.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Dr Tyler is running a little late.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47But he will be with you all in due course.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Oh, Karen! The bed in the sick bay needs making up.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52I know it's a bit like housework...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Oh, I don't mind housework! - That is news to me.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Ah, that would help me massively. Thank you.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Yeah, no probs!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Campus Surgery. How may I help you? Mrs Tembe speaking.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Aw! Thank you! Thank you!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- Would you mind giving me a hand? - Of course.- Aw! Thank you!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Professor Simpkins! Now, how are you?
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Oh, dear!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Yes, well, tomorrow?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18We will see you then. Goodbye.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35You, too.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Please let me explain.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Just tell me she wasn't treating a patient!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Of course not!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Who is he?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56This is Mr Bellamy, the practice manager.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- She has not met you yet. - How do you do?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03What's she doing here? She's a liability.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I was only trying to help!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Karen, it's not that I'm... I'm not unsympathetic.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12When I say you're a liability, I mean literally.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14There are legal issues!
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Do you understand?
0:06:15 > 0:06:20I am sorry. I did not want to leave her at home today.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I'm going to have to speak to the partners.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Nikki, I'm so sorry.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39This is bound to be upsetting,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43but the sooner you come to the station and make your statement,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46the better, while it's still fresh in your mind.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Er, now?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Is that a problem?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Yeah, yes. I've got a couple of visits to make.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59One of my ladies is very close to full-term.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I can't let her down at the last minute.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Nikki, you need to phone the office,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and get them to get some cover.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10No, I'm not ill!
0:07:10 > 0:07:16No, I know. But this is an emergency.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18All right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I need to examine her before she's interviewed.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32She's confused.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34You're not kidding!
0:07:34 > 0:07:36This had better be important, Howard.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Morning, Hardup. - You can call me Buttercup!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40This meeting's about Karen.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42She hasn't deteriorated?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44On the contrary. She's back at work.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Again?- She's been in before?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Well, only briefly. - Doing what?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Well, apparently just some basic chores.- "Apparently"?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- None of us were actually here. - And nobody thought to tell me?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Well, to be fair, there hasn't been an opportunity.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Am I the only one who understands how serious this is?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05She's invalidating not only her sick pay, but our building's insurance!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Nikki...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18you do understand that Graham is dead, don't you?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22I tried to revive him, but I couldn't!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24It was no good!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29We've been married for 15 years!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I know.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That policeman with his questions...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Can you tell him I'm not very well?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I'm not well enough! Please, Emma!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Nikki, the police need to talk to you!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50It's part of procedure.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Karen's one of the team. We should be supporting her.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54How do you suggest we do that?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I need medical information.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Karen's neurologist feels that her being here may stimulate her memory.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Yes, well, he didn't run that past the DWP!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05And neither does he have to supervise her.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09Look, the question is, do WE want Karen back in her present condition?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10You serious?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's not just about memory loss.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15She may have difficulty assimilating new information.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- May.- Precisely. Her unpredictability worries me the most.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22There's no way she should be in contact with patients.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, I can see we'd have fun with that one!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Frankly, I don't see that coming back to work too soon
0:09:26 > 0:09:28will do her any good at all.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It might make matters worse. She could lose confidence.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Zara, this is pure speculation, and you're not a neurologist.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37But I do know Karen!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Has anyone even asked if she wants to come back to work?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Of course she does. What was this morning about?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45OK, is Karen fit to return to work on full duties?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- No.- Heston?- No, but...- Daniel?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52- Oh, I suppose not.- Thank you. Decision made. Meeting over.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Come on, Howard! It's not as cut and dried as that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58She was just a girl.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Approximate age?
0:10:00 > 0:10:0317. 18.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Hair colour?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm not sure. Dark?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08What was she wearing?
0:10:08 > 0:10:14One of those... baggy, grey parka things.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Would you like a glass of water? - No, thank you.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23OK. Let's return to the events of this morning.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27You say you woke at around eight to find your husband was already up.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That's right.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33So you got up, showered and dressed ready for work.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Yes. - You didn't think to call out to him?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I thought he'd already gone to work. He's a truck driver.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43He often gets up first.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45And cooks himself breakfast?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Yes.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54I take it he doesn't like smoked bacon?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I don't understand?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We found half-cooked rashers of smoked bacon in the pedal bin.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Oh, I must have bought it by mistake!
0:11:04 > 0:11:10Easily done. You'd think they'd do something about the packaging.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12So, he made an alternative breakfast?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14He might have done, I don't know.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Then cleared up after himself? - I suppose so.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20My wife would think I'd gone nuts if I did that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25You obviously had Graham very well-trained.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We're nearly done.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- You told Dr Reid you tried to revive Graham?- Yes.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- After you'd seen the intruder? - Yes, of course.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37But BEFORE you phoned for the police?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Don't you think an ambulance would have been useful?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I'm medically trained.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Mm.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Look, I want to help Karen as much as anyone else.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50But the bottom line is she's been signed off with a fit note!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52We'll be in the soup if we allow her to work.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I think we get the message, Howard.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56What if she had a different fit note?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59One that allowed her to undertake light office duties only?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01It would have to specify no contact with patients.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Yes, Zara, you've made that abundantly clear!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That's not a bad idea, Heston. Is it workable?
0:12:06 > 0:12:07It's worth a shot.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10The problem could be getting her to accept limitations.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12And retraining?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18The first step is for you to make enquiries.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Excellent.- Thanks, Howard.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24KNOCK AT DOOR
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Hi. Problem?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29What is your take on Nicola Cranson?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Put it this way, if I was having a baby, I'd want her to deliver it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Yet she's got no children of her own?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41That's neither here nor there.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45But I do know she's had at least one miscarriage.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48So her marriage could have been rocky?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I don't know.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I only met Graham once at a fundraiser
0:12:52 > 0:12:55that Nikki did for the mother and baby unit.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57To be honest, I can't remember him.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00He was unremarkable, ordinary Joe.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Why? Is she a suspect?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06No, not yet. But, according to her, Graham comes downstairs,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09cooks himself breakfast and clears up after himself.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12You want to see the guy's car. He's a complete slob!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Maybe he takes more care in the kitchen?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18OK, so an intruder enters while he's dutifully putting the dishes
0:13:18 > 0:13:21away in the right place and hits him over the head.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Does this make any sense to you?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- MOBILE PHONE RINGS - Sorry.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Hello. Cooper.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34OK, I'm coming through. Cheers.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38A neighbour has identified a girl fitting the description
0:13:38 > 0:13:39running from Nikki's house.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42There you go, then.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Nikki?
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Nikki! Nikki, are you OK?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I can't go to work and I can't go home.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57I know. We need to organise some clothes for you.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59We need to get you out of this uniform.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00That's the last thing I want.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You were wearing it when you tried to revive Graham.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05But I might never wear it again!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07What makes you say that?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Nikki?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Nikki, it is really important that you tell the police everything.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I have.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Nikki?!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Before we start, can I ask a question?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Of course. Fire away. - Why is it in verse?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Because that's how 19th century pantomimes were written.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Mine is in that tradition.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Sorry we're late. The childminder is having one of her migraines.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36No problem.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41I would be honoured to give Joe his first taste of theatre.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Anyone know where Jimmi is?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Perhaps he's shying away from playing Daisy?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- I'd be very happy to... - No. My casting decision will stand.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54Right. Mrs Tembe's not here, so we will skip the prologue
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and go straight to Cinderella's first speech.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04JOE GURGLES
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Everything all right, Valerie?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I am a woman condemned to grovel in the ashes of a spent fire.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12A woman with no name.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Do I even remember what my real name is?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's very commendable, but we've a lot to get through.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I'm ready.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Meet Montague. Monty for short.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Monty is an old and trusted friend.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I am supposed to be talking to a mouse.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33He'll help with my motivation.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39OK, Louise, empty your pockets.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41If I lose this baby, I'll sue ya. Right?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yeah, and I'm quaking in my boots.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Tom?
0:15:48 > 0:15:53She might have a point. She looks full-term to me.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I should take a look at her.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59OK. I'll get Nikki in to ID.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10Each morning I rise and rake the cinders that are my own namesakes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:17There's none so lowly in this house. Except for you, o tiny mouse.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Shall the Earth the meek inherit?
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Do those Gospel words hold any merit?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26SHE SIGHS
0:16:26 > 0:16:33Enough of dreaming, I must away and prepare my dear pa's breakfast tray.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34JOE BREAKS WIND
0:16:34 > 0:16:36RAA!
0:16:36 > 0:16:37AL LAUGHS
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Obviously destined to be a theatre critic.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- I beg your pardon?- Sorry.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Sorry. I need to take him away to have a change.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thank you, Valerie, for your sterling effort.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Thank you for a wonderful part, Dr Carter.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- When am I on? - Patience, Howard.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Daisy is not here, so we will skip scene two
0:16:57 > 0:16:59and go straight to Buttons.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03AL SIGHS
0:17:03 > 0:17:05There she goes, my Cinders fair.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08With her sparkling eyes and golden hair.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Will Valerie be wearing a wig?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Please don't interrupt. - I'm just saying,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15because if she isn't you're going to have to change... Carry on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Buttons?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20This maid means all the world to me. And yet our love can never be.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26Her presence brings me infinite joy. But to her I'm just a funny boy.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Ah, that's lovely.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I hadn't realised until now how much of a loser Buttons is.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32One thing's for sure, he's not funny.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Think tears of a clown.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Pantomime is supposed to be knockabout fun, Heston.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Where are the innuendoes, the references to popular culture?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Hashtag twerking?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Why don't we mention a few soap star names to liven it up a bit?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50That would be difficult. I only watch Scandinavian noir.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Maybe Cinders could wear a Sarah Lund jumper?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Ooh!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Speaking of noir... Daisy.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Do you know when your baby's due? - I'm saying nothing to you.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Well, I am a doctor.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yeah, and this is a police station. Do I look stupid?
0:18:14 > 0:18:17What's the name of your GP?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Are you registered with a clinic?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I live on the streets!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's due on New Year's Day. Will that do ya?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Could you remove some of your clothes, please?- Why?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I would like to examine you!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Know what? I'm taking this to the Court of Human Rights.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Aaargh!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48All right, Louise.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Breathe.- Aaaaargh!
0:18:50 > 0:18:52We have one of these women in custody.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55She was caught stealing food from a house
0:18:55 > 0:18:57a couple of streets away from yours.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- You see anyone you know? - No. I'm sorry.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Are you sure about that?- 'Can I get some help in here, please!'
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Mrs Cranson?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07That's a woman in labour!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Don't worry, we've got it covered. Can we get back to the photos?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15No! That woman's in distress. You need to do something!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm going to die! Call a priest!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26No, you're not, Louise.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- I've called an ambulance. - Are you sure she's not faking?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Tom, her waters have broken. She's a month early.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33You can't go in there, Mrs Cranson!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I'm a midwife! Emma?
0:19:36 > 0:19:37No, Nikki.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Come on!- Check the baby's heart rate!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Come on!
0:19:41 > 0:19:43LOUISE SCREAMS
0:19:43 > 0:19:46The humour in this pantomime will not be broad,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49rather a subtle play on words.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52You're going to have to trust me on this.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Ah, Prince Charming is back!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56We can go straight to the ball scene.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Dr Carter, I've brought some more props.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- OK.- For Cinderella, Buttercup and one for Daisy.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Fantastic.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Great for flirting.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11You'd know.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Come on, Jimmi, get in the spirit.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You are a feminine woman over 30 and nature has not been kind.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Shut up!
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Right. Are we ready?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Fishnets. Thigh boots. Can't wait.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Charming enters the ballroom and Baron Hardup crosses his path.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Your Highness, I think you oughta cast an eye over my two daughters.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40O, handsome prince, make me your wife.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Don't choose her, she'll give you strife.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Charming turns,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48his gaze falling for the first time on the mysterious princess.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52By Jove!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Please don't slap your thigh. It's the most appalling cliche.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Got to take this.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01OK, Charming, stay in the moment.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04By Jove!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Is this a dream or can that be a princess gazing back at me?
0:21:08 > 0:21:13More...beauteous... I can't say "beauteous."
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Just say beautiful instead.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17No, don't. It doesn't scan.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20No-one has said "beauteous" in over 5,000 years.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's no longer a word.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Any English dictionary would say otherwise.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27My literacy is not in question here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29The key is character.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30What character?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Would you please restrict your comments to your own part?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35OK. Why is Buttons such a loser?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I wasn't aware that Buttons was in the ball scene!
0:21:38 > 0:21:39He's not.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Please shut up!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Fine.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Zara, please?
0:21:43 > 0:21:46To be honest with you, I'd question why he would say "by Jove".
0:21:46 > 0:21:50The Prince, he's quite a one-dimensional character, really.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Oh, I see. Anyone else?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Jimmi?- I think Daisy could do with a few more lines.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58She's just standing around. There's no stage directions.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Ditto Buttercup.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02And don't you think she'd try a little bit harder to pull the Prince?
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Thank you, cast, for your resounding vote of confidence(!)
0:22:07 > 0:22:09We're just trying to find ways to get the script improved.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11It doesn't need improvement!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13By Jove it does. It's awful.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's pompous. The rhymes are weak.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18How long did it take you to write this, Heston?
0:22:18 > 0:22:1930 minutes?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21How dare you!
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Heston, don't be so sensitive.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26You just need to take it to another draft, or two.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Just a few tweaks.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34SHE GROANS AND WHIMPERS
0:22:37 > 0:22:38She should be OK now.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45By the way, there was some blood on her trainer.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Maybe she shouldn't waste time bonding with the baby.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55That must have been very difficult for you, not being able to help.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00I'm surprised you wanted to. If she did kill Graham, then...
0:23:02 > 0:23:04There's something I need to show you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07HE SIGHS
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I am utterly humiliated.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What do they know?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You mustn't give up.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25Please put it back. I am withdrawing from this production.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Now you listen to me.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Before I read this, I had no idea that Cinderella was so deep.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34If other people can't see that, that's their lookout.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I know you're trying to be kind...
0:23:37 > 0:23:38No, I mean it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Loads of writers are misunderstood at first, aren't they?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Even Shakespeare must have suffered.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I doubt that very much.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Just imagine him onstage, expecting applause,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53only to be jeered at and pelted with rotten vegetables
0:23:53 > 0:23:56because his Hamlet was in rhyming couplets.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Well, I'm not sure...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59And like the song, he picked himself up,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02dusted himself off and...
0:24:02 > 0:24:04# Started all over again. #
0:24:04 > 0:24:06As you must.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11We're going to be brilliant.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I hope so, Valerie. Thank you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28It's the same old story.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He beats me.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35He breaks down.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And I forgive him.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Why forgive him?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Because I knew he wasn't a monster like his father.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47He wasn't. He made me laugh, honestly.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50He was just damaged.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53He couldn't help it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Nikki, what happened this morning?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02We had a row because I'd bought the wrong bacon.
0:25:04 > 0:25:10He started sneering, calling me "Porky" and snorting like a pig.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14So I knew I was in for another beating,
0:25:14 > 0:25:19but instead of bracing myself, I swung at him with the frying pan.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24It was as if someone else was doing it, not me.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Why cover it up?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Because I knew I'd lose my job.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I couldn't bear to think of that.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34SHE SOBS
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'll never deliver another baby.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41All that good work.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47From today I'll be known as the woman who killed her husband.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Mr Bellamy has some news for you.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Yes. I've had a word with the other partners
0:26:05 > 0:26:07and we're very happy for you to come back to work.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Now, before you can do that, I need to contact...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I might not want to.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Ah... Is that because of what happened earlier this morning?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17No, I'm thinking of writing a bestseller.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Ah. Well, I dare say you'd earn more than as a receptionist.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23What do I get?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Mr Bellamy.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29If you told her that, I would have to deal with the consequences.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31What are you whispering about?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Well, I'm sorry, Mrs Tembe, but Karen has rights.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Here you go.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Your salary.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46For a month's work?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48A week.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Flaming Ada!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53That is not a lot nowadays.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Aw!- We can talk about this.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Oh!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I'm rich!
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Did you want to see a doctor?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Are you taking the mickey out of me? - Not at all.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's my money!
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I am sorry. Speak to your husband.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13What are you? My jailor?!
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Not only are you incompetent, you're also extremely rude.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18I'M rude?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22She is probably still out shopping. Not to worry.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Whoa! Did you say that she's out shopping?
