0:00:28 > 0:00:30Morning, Miss Hodgkins. Looking lovely as ever.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Morning, Ken.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35So, just the two of us today?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Holding the fort, as usual.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Waybury Insurance are in safe hands.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43What time do the pubs open?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45SHE CHUCKLES
0:00:45 > 0:00:50I thought we could both do with a bit a practice.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54We've only got 19 days left.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00HE PLAYS "SILENT NIGHT"
0:01:00 > 0:01:04When the cat's away, the mice play the piano
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Tres bon.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You have not told me about your day.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hmm?
0:01:23 > 0:01:24With your father.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It must have been nice, seeing him again.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31It was sad.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh. Well, I am sorry to hear that.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Everything about my life and the people in it is a horrible surprise.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Yes. Well, I am sure once you get used to things,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46you will be back to your old self.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I don't want to get back to my old self.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I want a new life, with new friends,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52but I'm not allowed to meet any, am I?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57I do not think you were looking for friendship on Tuesday night,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and may I remind you that you are still a married woman?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03No. Please, don't remind me!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Your husband is only trying to help you, as am I.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11No, you're not. You're on a power trip
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and you're absolutely loving it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14What a Good Samaritan(!)
0:02:18 > 0:02:24One day soon, your memory will return. I have every faith.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27And all of this will seem like a bad dream.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's the other way round.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35All the things I can't remember - the man I'm married to -
0:02:35 > 0:02:37that's the bad dream.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I've been living in a nightmare all these years
0:02:40 > 0:02:41and now I've woken up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46SHE SINGS IN FRENCH
0:03:02 > 0:03:03HER VOICE BREAKS
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Shall we try from verse three again?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09What's the point? I sound like a strangled cat.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You've got the voice of an angel.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Why don't we try the English language version?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- Maybe it's the French...- Forget it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I don't know why I let you talk me into this in the first place,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22unless you thought a bit of public humiliation might do me good.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37I do not think you should stay here, not on your own.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39You worried I'll invite another bloke over
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and mess up your soft furnishings?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47I feel your time should be spent more productively.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Of course you do. Well, leave a Bible on the side
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and I'll read a few Psalms during the ad breaks.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I think you should come to the surgery.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Mr Bellamy doesn't really want me there, does he?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Scaring the patients.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05He will understand.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11So, how are you getting along with Stanislavski?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Stan the man.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14I'm really lapping it up.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Excellent.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Now, you mustn't regard Cinderella as a constructed role,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23more as a persona that you will inhabit.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25To all intents and purposes,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27you ARE Cinderella.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I am Cinderella.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Exactly.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34That's your mantra. Embrace it.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I am Cinderella.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I am Cinderella.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- OK. Let's...- I am Cinderella.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I am Cinderella.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I am Cinderella.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48OK. That's enough for now.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52I've earmarked the staff room for a workshop this afternoon.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54See you at two, Cinderella.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I am Cinderella.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Just call me Cinders. That's Cinderella to you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I am Cinderella.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Don't worry. We've got bags of time to iron out any blips.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25You can easily find a replacement, no probs,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28you can't move for sopranos at Saint Michael's.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Or you could try Big Dave's Karaoke on a Friday night!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Tone-deaf wannabes. None of them can sing, not like you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Yeah, well, I don't wannabe.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I just want to be left alone.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41To eat yourself into an early grave?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Don't start that again.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure - it's a ticking time bomb.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49But you can do something about it - I'm living proof.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Go on, feel that!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Do I have to?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Washboard. I don't just look good, I feel better.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I've got my confidence back, haven't I?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Hmm. But you were much less smug when you were suicidal.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04I just want the same for you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06What friend wouldn't?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10You are becoming a gastric-bypass bore.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I don't want my appetite unnaturally curbed.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Eating is my way of expressing myself.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I thought the concert would get you on track,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22inspire a lifestyle change.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Oh, I see.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25So my voice isn't good enough.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The concert's just another one of your stupid diet plans.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- No, of course not. I... - Oh, leave me alone, Ken.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I have to keep reminding myself
0:06:36 > 0:06:40there's a reason why she is behaving like a truculent teenager.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43In her head, she is one.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44SHE SIGHS
0:06:44 > 0:06:48But I cannot deny it, the woman is trying my patience.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I think you're doing a great job, Mrs Tembe.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54She might not appreciate it now, but when she's better...
0:06:54 > 0:06:56If she's better.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think we should remain optimistic.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yes. Yes, you are right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08She not only deserves our sympathy, but our fortitude.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I have been failing her as a friend and failing myself as a Christian.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, no. No. Don't you go beating yourself up.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20How about I take her off your hands for a few nights?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Give you a chance to work on your assessment.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Oh, that would be wonderful. If you are sure?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yeah. Yeah, it's no bother. Do you want me to suggest it to her?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33No. No. I shall broach the subject
0:07:33 > 0:07:36when she is in a more reasonable mood.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57# I could've been someone... #
0:08:00 > 0:08:03That's from... That's from 1987.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05What?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Have you heard that song before? I mean, in the last three weeks?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11No, I don't think so.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13That was first recorded in 1987,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17that's three years after your brain did it's reset thing.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Really?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24You are such a fascinating case, Karen.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I just wish that I could record you.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Well, you can.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33It's only the killjoy copper who said no. I want to be famous.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34You serious?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Well, why don't we start today?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I want you to write down some vivid memories,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46the kind of thing you'd put in a diary.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Don't think about it too much, just whatever comes out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Do five, and then we'll look at them
0:08:52 > 0:08:55and see if we can mine out some more recent memories.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Capisce?- Yeah, OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Sorry about my little strop.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05What am I like? Silly moo!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Were you in a strop? I hadn't noticed.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I've received an e-mail.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12You'll never guess who from.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Do you want me to guess? - No, not really. Andre!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Andre? You mean THE Andre?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Andre Fournet, yes!- No. No way.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25He still lives in Paris, and guess what?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27He's coming to England for Christmas.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29That's great. How long's it been?
0:09:29 > 0:09:3225 years. Who'd have thought it?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35The Internet's a wonderful thing.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37So, are you going to hook up?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Well, yes, I think so. He suggested it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44He doesn't mention a wife or kids. Do you reckon he's still single?
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Anything's possible.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I can't see him after all this time,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51not now, not looking like this.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Why ever not?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53I was a different person back then.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'd rather he remembered me the way I was.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59He'll have aged, too. He's bound to have put on a few pounds.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03His memories of our affair are probably as precious as mine.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I don't want them to be sullied by this.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I'm going to tell him I'm away over Christmas.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Wait a minute. His timing is perfect.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Do you think he'd be able to attend the concert?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I don't know. He's arriving on the 22nd.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22You can serenade him, like you did before...in Paris.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26No. That was... So much has changed since then.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28He's still interested in you, Janet.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32If he wasn't, why would he take so much trouble in tracking you down?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I don't know. Curiosity.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36He wants to pick up where he left off.
0:10:36 > 0:10:3825 years is nothing to the human heart.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41If you address your health problems, start a diet,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43you'll drop those extra pounds in no time.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46More importantly, you'll feel better about yourself.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Andre's bound to fall in love with you again.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Karen, come on...think.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Erm...
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Erm...
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I... I remember a health-break thing...
0:11:03 > 0:11:05where I got a spray tan,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and the next morning I looked like an Oompa Loompa
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and everybody was sniggering at me behind my back.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12That was here, I think.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Karen, you are turning a corner.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Do you reckon? Cos I'm not even sure that happened.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24A bypass?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Ideally, yes. How soon can it be done?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, it's very invasive and there can be serious side-effects -
0:11:30 > 0:11:32malnutrition, incontinence...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I've thought about this long and hard.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37My friend Ken, he coped with the op really well, never looked back.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Surgery might be an option.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40But, in the meantime,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'd recommend a less radical approach.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Diets, you mean? I've already tried them all.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Low carb, no carb, high protein, low protein, the liquid diet,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53the purple diet, the cabbage-soup diet, the cookie diet...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It's OK. I get the picture. - It's not like I haven't tried.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59This is very much the last resort.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01And what about exercise?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Exercise? Yes, I've tried a bit of that too.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11He was so old and frail.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I used to look up to him, but now...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17What did you talk about?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21He asked me about Jack and Immie
0:12:21 > 0:12:23and what they were up to,
0:12:23 > 0:12:24and I didn't know what to say.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27They're strangers to me, just like he is.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Did you...?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Did you talk about your mum?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Yeah, and Dad got upset.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The house is full of her stuff.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42There were photographs of us all together.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The loss must seem really...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49unreal.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52No, cos...
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Cos I know that I must be grieving for her for the second time...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02..but it doesn't feel like that.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04It feels like the first time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11I'm grieving for me and my life, and what it is now.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But...it's not my life.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18It doesn't belong to me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It says here that I referred you to the obesity clinic in May 2011,
0:13:23 > 0:13:25and that you failed to attend.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Is that right?- Ooh, possibly.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Well, I can refer you again
0:13:29 > 0:13:32and the clinic will assess whether gastric-bypass surgery
0:13:32 > 0:13:35is the most suitable course of action.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37So, it's unlikely that I'll be able to have the op
0:13:37 > 0:13:39this side of Christmas?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- I'd imagine so, yes.- I see.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- That's it, then.- What's the hurry?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48You might think this sounds daft,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52but Andre, he was my teenage sweetheart.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We haven't seen one another in 25 years.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57He's coming to Letherbridge at Christmas.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I don't want him to see me,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02not like this.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Right. Well, let's see what the clinic have to say.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08In the meantime, I would like you to persevere
0:14:08 > 0:14:11with sensible dieting and exercise.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- IN FRENCH ACCENT: - "Are you with anyone?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21"Perhaps I should not say this,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25"but I often think of our time together and I hear your voice..."
0:14:27 > 0:14:29"The voice of an angel."
0:14:31 > 0:14:33"Andre."
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Your voice and your body are your instruments,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38so you need to look after them.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45Now, many professional actors like to do some sort of warm-up
0:14:45 > 0:14:47before rehearsing or performing,
0:14:47 > 0:14:52so I would encourage you to do the same.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54OK. Big breath.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56HE INHALES DEEPLY
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- What did they say? - Passed the buck.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I've got to go through the obesity clinic...
0:15:09 > 0:15:12and they'll just fob me off like he did.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15No, they won't. You've set the wheels in motion.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Today marks the start of a new you.- Forget it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- So, what are you going to do? - What I should've done earlier.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I'm going to tell Andre that I'm away over Christmas.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Oh, my!
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Hallelujah!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Hm?
0:15:36 > 0:15:37He's divorced!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38That's nice.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41His ex-wife sounds like a right old dragon.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44He says the nicest things.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- It's everything I hoped he'd say.- Really?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Ken?- Yeah?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54What are you doing for lunch?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59MUSIC: "Let's Get Physical" by Olivia Newton-John

0:16:26 > 0:16:3053, 54, 55, 56...
0:16:30 > 0:16:3514... Come on! 15...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Come on, feel that burn!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Aaa...
0:16:40 > 0:16:42aa...
0:16:42 > 0:16:44aaw.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47OK, good. Let's try aaah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Aarh. Aarh.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52No, no. It's aaaaaaah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Back of your throat. - Aaaarh!- No, listen. Listen.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Aaaaa...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01ah-ah-aha-ah...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03aaaah...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14HE BREATHES DEEPLY
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Ken?
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Ken?
0:17:19 > 0:17:20In order to create
0:17:20 > 0:17:24a credible and compelling performance,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27you must position your psyche
0:17:27 > 0:17:30within Cinderella's life perspective.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You contemplate her reality and make it your own.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36OK. Let's remind ourselves where we are.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41You're forced to carry out menial chores, day in, day out.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Too right!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45And your beloved mother is dead.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I miss you, Mum.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50And you are desperately lonely and looking for love.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52No, I wouldn't say that.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Wouldn't you?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56No. Not now I'm with Ashley.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58We've been going steady for the last year.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Yes, but we're contemplating Cinderella's situation, not yours.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Right, got you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08But remember, I am Cinderella.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I am Cinderella.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yes. Well, let's not start that one again. OK?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22You should get back to the office.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23No, I'll stay here.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26You're more important than a few unprocessed policy documents.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Do you really mean that?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- I wonder how long they were together.- Who?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Andre and his wife.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Could've been 20 years.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- It's quality, not quantity.- Is it?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I was married to Esther for 20 years.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- Anyway, now he's a free agent.- Eh?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47As of last year.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Well, yes, so he says.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- How did you know that? - How did I know what?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56That Andre got divorced from his wife last year?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- You said. You told me. - No, I didn't.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01You said he was divorced, or separated, I can't remember which.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I told you he was divorced, but I didn't say when he got divorced.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I suppose I put two and two together.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08When you said he was recently divorced,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10I just assumed that it happened last year.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I never said he was recently divorced,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- I just said he was divorced. - What are we talking here?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Are you accusing me of snooping in your e-mails or something?- No.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- I don't know. - Mr Beattie, come through.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Does this feel tender?
0:19:30 > 0:19:32No, not really.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- And the pain has subsided?- Yes.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I guess I just pushed myself a bit too much.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Since losing all that blubber, I feel invincible.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41You're still sweating a bit.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Pop your T-shirt back on for me.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Well, given your high blood pressure and fast pulse,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- I think we should do an ECG.- An ECG?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51It takes a few minutes to set up,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55so if you wouldn't mind going into reception, I'll call you in a while.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I have a little job for you.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06The pamphlets in the information stand,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09some of them go back to the last decade.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I want you to check them all
0:20:11 > 0:20:16and discard any that are more than, well, three years old.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20We are currently in 2013.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I know that. I was hoping we could bunk off early.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Well, a-about this evening. I spoke to...
0:20:27 > 0:20:29PHONE RINGS
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Oh...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The Mill Health Centre. How may I help you?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44Tomorrow at 10.15.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Thank you, goodbye.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53"The voice of an angel."
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Doctor Granger wants to do an ECG.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04You'd better get back.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Why did you do it, Ken?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08He even sounded a bit like you
0:21:08 > 0:21:10because he was you.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12You've lost me.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You know how much Andre means to me.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16How could you do something like that?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And for what? A stupid carol concert.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Janet!
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Janet, wait!
0:21:33 > 0:21:37I can't inspire you to change, only Andre can.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Six months ago, I tried to track him down,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42get hold of him online,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45but there are hundreds of Andre Fournets in Paris,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and in the end I couldn't find him.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52I don't care about the carol concert, only you.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57You're not my friend, Ken. This isn't how friends behave.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I wish I was more than a friend. I love you, Janet.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05I always have. I always will.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07That's... That's not what I want.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I just don't see you that way. - No, of course not.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You're not interested in a real relationship,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14only a doomed fling from decades ago.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18If Andre were still alive, he probably wouldn't even remember you!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Please, take a seat.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I'm going to admit you to St Phil's for some further tests.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26- When will that be? - Right away, I'm afraid.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28There's no need to worry,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but it's possible you've suffered a minor heart attack.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I can't be entirely sure, it could be a false alarm,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35but we need to err on the side of caution. OK?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Hi. Yeah. Ambulance, please.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Thank you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Madam.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Right. Well, you're motivated by two things -
0:22:50 > 0:22:51hope and fear.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Hope that you're love for the prince will be consummated
0:22:55 > 0:22:58and fear that you may turn into a pumpkin.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Oh, I thought it was just the coach that turned into a pumpkin.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Do I turn into a pumpkin as well? - Well, you might- Might I?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Yes. If you're inside the coach when it's being...pumpkinised.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13I would be pumpkinised along with it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It's like that horror film The Fly,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19only instead of my DNA being mixed up with an insect's,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I'm going to be merged with a giant vegetable.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Part Valerie, part pumpkin.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Yes, that's your motivation.- Is it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That's going to be a problem.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Why's that?- Well, I've never been pumpkinised before,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36so I'm not sure what I'm afraid of.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Yes. But I've never been trampled by a rhinoceros,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41but I know I don't want it to happen.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Where are you going?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'm walking home. That thing's a death trap.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52No, you have to get back inside.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56But plot just a "logical consequence of character", isn't it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59And my character would not walk home after a big night out
0:23:59 > 0:24:02and a quick snog wearing just one shoe.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03It just doesn't make sense.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Well, it's in the script! Of course it makes sense.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I'm not feeling it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Just learn the lines and don't bump into the furniture.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24What's happened?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Ticker playing up. Can I have a moment?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Do you remember what I said about Andre?- Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I talked to his widow six months ago.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37She told me he died in 2007 - throat cancer.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42They had two children together - teenagers now.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm sorry, Janet. I meant to give you hope, not despair.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47By lying to me?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Mandy, have you seen Mrs Tembe?
0:25:00 > 0:25:06Yeah. She's just getting her head down. Course work.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09So...Chez Marquez tonight, eh?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13My place.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We just thought a change of scene might do you good.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Oh, I bet you did.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- So Mrs Tembe's not mentioned it? - No, she didn't.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well, she has been a bit distracted.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29What else have you two organised for me behind my back?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Nothing. We just thought...
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- I- just thought that it...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- It might be a laugh. - Well, it won't be,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40not with you treating me like some unwanted brat.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Oh, come on, Karen. It wasn't meant like that.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- We were only trying to help. - I don't want your help.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47There's only one person round here who gives me any credit.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55If Ken hadn't tried to track Andre down, I'd be none the wiser.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'd have probably spent the rest of my life
0:25:57 > 0:26:00dreaming of some far-fetched reunion.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Well, he's done you a favour then.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Dreams are no substitute for life, are they?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13I'll sing it in English, Ken.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Silent Night.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I'd prefer to sing it in English at the concert.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21My French is rubbish anyhow.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Good. I'd like that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Thank you.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Hey.- All right?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I've had a brilliant idea.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58What with me being your case study and everything,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01it would make a lot of sense if I come and stay here.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What do you think?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- What? She's not expecting you? - Of course not.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I just don't want us to appear amateur.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17It is amateur though.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Why don't you do one, freak.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What happened?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I don't know. I'm not really built for affairs of the heart.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Mandy is a fully paid-up member of the cast. Everybody meet Dandini.
