0:00:31 > 0:00:36MUSIC: Teardrop by Massive Attack

0:01:15 > 0:01:17- Whoa, sorry!- Sorry. I was just...

0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's Mark, right?

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Er...Max.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Max, yeah, of course. I'm...

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Ella. I know.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28I mean, I've, erm, seen you around.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Just stayed over at my boyfriend Jared's, down the hall.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Hashtag walk-of-shame!

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Hope no-one minds?

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Um...no, I don't suppose...

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Wait, you're in Sociology 101 with me, aren't you?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Of course you are, you're the really smart one

0:01:44 > 0:01:47who sits like front row, centre.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49MOBILE RINGS

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Got to run, but I'll see you over there. Save me a seat, yeah?

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Yeah.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Oh, Dr Carter, I wondered

0:02:01 > 0:02:04if you could possibly squeeze in Mr Mayhew again at four?

0:02:04 > 0:02:08He's asking for a male doctor what with his...you know,

0:02:08 > 0:02:10and I didn't like to...

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- Know need. It's fine. - Sorry, I know you're chocker today.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'm at peak efficiency when I'm busy.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16Excuse me.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Not too busy to fit in a strategy meeting with your favourite

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- practice manager, I hope?- Today?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yes, there are a few issues

0:02:23 > 0:02:25that demand the attention of two partners.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26If you haven't got a better offer?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Let me just check my diary.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30OK, I'll be in my office.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Ah, no need. I have my e-planner right here.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ooh, look at you with your fancy pants gadget.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Kevin recommended it to me.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39It synchronises it with my desktop calendar

0:02:39 > 0:02:42faster than it takes me to look up February in the old diary.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Get you, so down with the kids. - Oh, please, don't say that phrase.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48And the verdict is?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm chock-a-block with patients,

0:02:50 > 0:02:53but I can fit you in at the end of the day, if that suits?

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Perfect.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Boys and their toys.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06So I'm afraid there will be penalty points for any late submissions.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10Finally, you'll all have received an e-mail regarding

0:03:10 > 0:03:12the Chalcroft Foundation Bursary -

0:03:12 > 0:03:15a fully funded year's study in California

0:03:15 > 0:03:18for our most promising student.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21I thought that might wake one or two of you up.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26Now, the Foundation have decided on a rather fun 24-hour essay challenge

0:03:26 > 0:03:29as part of the application process.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Well, it's all in the e-mail.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Entries in my inbox by 10am tomorrow.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Good luck, one and all.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Hey, sorry I missed you on the way in.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45No, it's fine.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48I was hoping to ask you a teensy favour, actually.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50You know all that about penalty points?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I only went and missed that last deadline.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55To be honest, I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to be doing!

0:03:55 > 0:04:00Last week's essay? Media Representations Of Gender, right?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Right. Wow, you're so on top of it.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I don't suppose you could give me a few tips?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08Just set me in the right direction so I know where I'm going?

0:04:08 > 0:04:12Oh. Well, I was thinking of going for that bursary thing, so...

0:04:12 > 0:04:14I mean, he said 24 hours, so...

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Perfect! We could make it a thing.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19Two heads are better than one and all that jazz.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20MOBILE RINGS

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Besides, it'd be nice to get to know

0:04:22 > 0:04:24some of the people on Jared's corridor better.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Always good to make new friends. Oh, my God! Are you OK?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Yeah.- I'll get some help.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32No. It's fine.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Seriously, someone should take a look at you or something.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Honestly, it's nothing. I've got to go, there's a seminar...

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Come on, better to be safe than sorry.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42I'll take care of you.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Heston!

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Professor Fingelton?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Oh! Victor, please. We've known each other long enough.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58You're not my 10.15.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Oh, heavens, no.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03No, I thought I'd just pop down to say a quick hello

0:05:03 > 0:05:07and let you know how terribly excited we are

0:05:07 > 0:05:09about your speech this evening.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12Really?

0:05:12 > 0:05:17Oh, yes, my sociology students are in for a treat and it's been

0:05:17 > 0:05:22far too long since you and I chewed the academic cud, so to speak.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Indeed. I'm very much looking forward to it.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Splendid. Can't wait to see what you've cooked up.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32It'll be just like old times.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Quite. Fascinating subject. And...

0:05:36 > 0:05:38..intriguing title.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41"Connecting With Our 21st-Century Selves."

0:05:41 > 0:05:43I was rather proud of that one.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Yes. Very broad too.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, that's the other reason I stopped by.

0:05:49 > 0:05:54It'd be rather wonderful to have a little summary of your lecture.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Just for a brief precis, so to speak.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00I just wanted to do something rather special

0:06:00 > 0:06:03and I wanted it to be a surprise...

0:06:03 > 0:06:05That's marvellous!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, I'll see you at seven this evening.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Ah, Dr Carmichael. What do you think?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24You're going to have to give me a hint.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Our new self-check-in machine.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Mr Bellamy has charged me with overseeing its installation.

0:06:30 > 0:06:35Ah, yes, one of Howard's better ideas. He mentioned something about it in the partners' meeting.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Should make life much easier. - Indeed.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Thanks for helping and everything, but I feel fine now.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Can't have my study buddy dropping dead on me, can I?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46"Study buddy", really?

0:06:46 > 0:06:47- Too pre-school?- Little bit.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49Can I help you?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Yes, we'd like a slot on your drop-in list, please,

0:06:51 > 0:06:53or whatever you call it.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ah. We are trialling a new system.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58All drop-in patients are required to sign in

0:06:58 > 0:07:01at our new self-service machine, just over there.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02Can you not just put us down?

0:07:02 > 0:07:05Just follow the instructions on screen, if you would.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Right. OK.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Hashtag rude.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13You do realise you're saying the word hashtag out loud.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16- I should probably knock that on the head.- Probably.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17MACHINE BEEPS

0:07:19 > 0:07:22This is such a waste of time. Come on, let's just go.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24We're here now, come on.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27There's your problem. You didn't set your automatic updates,

0:07:27 > 0:07:30so whatever you put on there lately won't have transferred onto your phone.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33You assured me this app was foolproof.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36You don't want a reply to that, do you?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39There must be some malfunction. I never forget an engagement.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43January 29th, LU Sociology lecture. That's right, isn't it?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Looks like you have a speech to write.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, Kevin, wait! You wouldn't have any bright ideas, would you?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51The subject is - Connecting With Our 21st...

0:07:51 > 0:07:53KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Ah, yes, Mr Smithee, have a seat.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Have you ever had any episodes like this before?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Episodes?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Blackouts? Seizures?

0:08:11 > 0:08:13No. No, nothing like that.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I just felt faint for a couple of seconds.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18I'm fine, really.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21What about your alcohol intake?

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Honest answer.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26No. I mean, I don't, really. Never.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Teetotal student.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31And I thought I'd seen everything.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Are you on any medication at the moment?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40So how are you finding things generally?

0:08:42 > 0:08:46I thought it'd be a new start.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I could be...different.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53I was a pretty hard worker at school.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Didn't have a lot of time for friends. But...

0:09:00 > 0:09:03..but you just end up being the same old you.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Now I'm going to be that guy who fainted

0:09:06 > 0:09:08in the lecture theatre for ever.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10I'm sure that's not true.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15With a bit of luck, I can get this scholarship in America.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Now, that's a fresh start.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18That sounds exciting.

0:09:18 > 0:09:2124 hours to nail the entry essay though.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, 23 now.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27How are you finding the workload?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29You know, I'm sure you can negotiate an extension

0:09:29 > 0:09:31if you don't feel up to finishing it today.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Yeah, cos that'd look really good. Late and rubbish.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'm a double threat.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Well, you should try and have some fun.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Maybe spend some time with your friends.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'll try.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46If anything else happens, come back and see me.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49So that's it? I can...I can go?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Unless there's anything else you want to tell me?

0:09:52 > 0:09:53No.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57That was fast.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Yeah, all fine. Just a bit tired, nothing to worry about.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, that's a relief.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06So these essays, we should probably get started on them soon.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09It'll be great working together. Take the sting out of it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11It'll take twice as...

0:10:11 > 0:10:13I mean, sure.

0:10:13 > 0:10:14Brilliant. We'll do lunch.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18Oh, it's just I've got this tutorial thing with the professor.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Better not miss it. Wouldn't look very good, not today.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22No problem, we can do it after.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'll text you. What's your number?

0:10:24 > 0:10:25Erm...

0:10:27 > 0:10:30There must be something here to inspire me.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's not like you to be short of an opinion or 12.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36I thought you'd have stacks of lectures ready

0:10:36 > 0:10:37and waiting for a captive audience.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, funnily enough, I don't have something readily available

0:10:40 > 0:10:44that fits a topic as breathtakingly inconceivable as

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Connecting With Our 21st-Century Selves.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Just wing it. Tell a few tall tales about oddball patients.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Close with a couple of jokes. Applause, applause, applause.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55That might work for you.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's not like a bunch of bleary-eyed students

0:10:57 > 0:10:59are going to be paying much attention anyway.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'd be surprised if anyone turns up.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Professor Fingelton and I have engaged in serious one-upmanship

0:11:05 > 0:11:08ever since we locked horns at the Cambridge debating society.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I need something fresh, edgy and original.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14What about this? I've just had an e-mail from Mrs T.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'd stay out of it, if I were you.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18She's going on about that new self-check-in doodah

0:11:18 > 0:11:20they've got at the campus.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Don't know what she's so worked up about.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Do you really think that supplies the level of insight that I require?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Just gloss it up with a PowerPoint, a bit of clip art...

0:11:30 > 0:11:31It works every time.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33And where are you going?

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I've got patients to see. Remember, that thing we do?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Oh, speaking of which. Mr Travers is waiting.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43I just need a bit more time.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45The Foundation aren't expecting miracles,

0:11:45 > 0:11:46so long as it's your best effort.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49It's just I've had a lot on recently.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52I wouldn't ask, but all the deadlines are stacking up

0:11:52 > 0:11:54and I just want it to be perfect.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll tell you what I'll do, I'll have a word with the administrator

0:11:57 > 0:12:01and see if we can't finagle a little extension.

0:12:01 > 0:12:02In the meantime,

0:12:02 > 0:12:05we have a special guest lecturer coming in this evening.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Mainly for postgrads, but I think you could get a lot out of it.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Tonight? I don't think I'll have time.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Oh, nonsense, it's only an hour. Recharge your inspiration.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16Between you and me,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20I could do with filling the seats. I'd hate to embarrass the poor chap.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- Right, I'm with you. - See you at seven?

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- I'll try.- Splendid.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29TELEPHONE BEEPS

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Mrs Aaronson?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Well, you're not Mrs Aaronson, clearly.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42Give me two seconds.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45This has been going on all morning.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Is there a problem, Dr Carmichael?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49All my appointments are in the wrong order,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52and this phantom Mrs Aaronson keeps popping up on my system

0:12:52 > 0:12:53every hour on the hour!

0:12:53 > 0:12:56That is most peculiar.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00It is bordering on the absurd. So what's going on?

0:13:00 > 0:13:01Mrs Tembe?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05So, basically, he gave you the extension just

0:13:05 > 0:13:09so you'd make up the numbers at his postgrad lecture thingy?

0:13:09 > 0:13:12What a player! Are you going to go?

0:13:12 > 0:13:13Suppose I'll have to now.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16But if I don't nail this essay,

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I won't stand a chance at winning the bursary.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23Goodbye, California, hello another year of Letherbridge drudgery.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25What you need is a night off.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27We should get the drinks in, get everyone over.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29- I don't know...- A block party,

0:13:29 > 0:13:31they're always having them over at our halls.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I thought you wanted to finish this?

0:13:33 > 0:13:36We've made a good start, it'll be fine.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39I'll make a playlist! What sort of tunes you into?

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Really, I'd rather just get this done.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Too late. Invites have gone out.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:13:45 > 0:13:46Hello, babe.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Mwah, mwah, mwah... - Ew, you're all sweaty.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Fresh from another victory.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53That's the sweet smell of success, that is.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Shut up, you filthy boy.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06It seems to have a few glitches.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Glitches?

0:14:08 > 0:14:09LOUD BEEP

0:14:10 > 0:14:14The touch screen takes a little getting used to.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's not the technology that's the problem,

0:14:17 > 0:14:19it's the idiots trying to use it.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It lacks the human touch that our old system had.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Well, just make sure people know what they're doing.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27A difficult proposition these days, I'm sure,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29but I'm relying upon you, Mrs Tembe.

0:14:29 > 0:14:33Yes, well, I will not let you down, Dr Carmichael.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35LOUD BEEPING

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Oh, infernal machine...

0:14:37 > 0:14:38COUGHING AND RETCHING

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Max?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Leave him.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44He's been in there ages.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48Max, are you OK?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50TOILET FLUSHES

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Ever heard of privacy?

0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Were you sick this morning too? - I told you, I'm fine.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01I don't want you passing out on me again.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me, just stress.

0:15:04 > 0:15:05So can you just drop it?

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Besides, you've clearly got better things to be doing.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Max, wait!

0:15:10 > 0:15:12What's the big deal? He's blatantly just hung over.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14I thought you said he's always locked away in his room.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18Maybe he's a serial killer and he's got a body stashed in there.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Don't. Which one's his?

0:15:21 > 0:15:22That one, I think.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24El, I've got the beers in. The lads'll be over in a bit.

0:15:24 > 0:15:25I'll be there.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Don't get involved.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Shouldn't someone make sure he's OK?

0:15:29 > 0:15:31He's just some weirdo down the corridor. Who cares?

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Come on.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17"..allowing the statistical methodology to work for us,

0:16:17 > 0:16:19"rather than the other way round."

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Thank you all for coming, et cetera et cetera.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Ah, Victor. It's Heston.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Are you set up for PowerPoint presentations over there?

0:16:32 > 0:16:36Marvellous! I didn't think you had it in your repertoire.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, it's come a long way since we duelled it out with index cards.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Indeed. Any hints yet?

0:16:43 > 0:16:44My lips are sealed.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47You always did know how to tease a topic.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51I have every faith it shall surpass expectations, as ever.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52See you at seven.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56COMPUTER BEEPS

0:16:57 > 0:16:58COMPUTER BEEPS

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Oh, no.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02LAUGHTER

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Um... Is Ella here?

0:17:06 > 0:17:08She went out looking for you, for some reason.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Oh, OK.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Listen, I don't know what your problem is,

0:17:14 > 0:17:16but keep her out of it, OK?

0:17:16 > 0:17:17What are you on about?

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I've seen the way you look at her whenever you're round here.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Now a little crisis to get her attention. "Boo-hoo, look at me."

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Don't you have an arm-wrestling tournament to get to or something?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29She's only hanging around you today

0:17:29 > 0:17:31so you'll finish her stupid essay for her, you know?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34She'll never be interested in anything else.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I mean, look at you.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Whatever.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39There you are.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42I've been trying to find you. Why didn't you answer your phone?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I went to the library for a bit of peace.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Some of us have actually got work to do, remember?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Why don't you stay for a bit,

0:17:49 > 0:17:50- Have a drink with us? - El?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Maybe later. I've got to get this finished.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57How about you tell me what these are first?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Ready?- Sorry?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Strategy meeting. End of play, you said.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Oh, erm... We're going to have to reschedule, I'm afraid.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11I don't have time for the minutiae of practice manager speak

0:18:11 > 0:18:12- right now.- I see.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16This machine has destroyed my work.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- What's the problem? - Lord knows.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Have you tried the tech support line?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22Like they're going to resurrect it over the phone.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25That's what we keep them on contract for.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Hello. Howard Bellamy the Mill Health Centre.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29This is ridiculous.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yes, it seems we have a problem with one of our desktops.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Essentially it's frozen.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'm going to look like a complete idiot

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- in front of Professor Fingelton and his students.- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39I doubt that very much.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Surely it's something more complicated than that.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44OK, I'll ask him.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Have you turned it off and turned it off again?

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Oh, for heaven's sake. Is that all we pay them for?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50I assume so.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53There must be somebody else who knows what they're talking about.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57OK, I'll try that, thank you very much. Goodbye.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Kevin! Kevin!

0:19:00 > 0:19:03What, so you thought it was OK to snoop around my room?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I wasn't snooping. I was worried.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07After what happened this morning...

0:19:07 > 0:19:10They're prescription, OK? Give them back.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Look, it's none of my business, I know,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14- but you said you were stressed. - Lay off, will you?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16If he wants to get wired on pep pills

0:19:16 > 0:19:19and write essays all night like a loser, that's his business.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20It's not your problem.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22You don't know anything about me.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Just get out of my face.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Jared!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33You're a loser.

0:19:33 > 0:19:34Why don't you do us all a favour and just do one?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Nobody's going to miss you.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Max!

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Max, what are you doing? What's wrong?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53Go back to your boyfriend and stay out of my life.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Max!

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Max!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03OK, I've had to reboot it manually.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Let's see if that works.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08What's everybody up to in here?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Heston's computer has gremlins.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Oh, no, I hate it when that happens.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Have you tried...- Yes.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15Sorry I spoke.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17There you go. See, what did I tell you?

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Where's my presentation? It should be here!

0:20:21 > 0:20:23(Thanks Kevin. No, don't mention it. It's fine.)

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Crisis averted then? - It's not here. It's not here!

0:20:25 > 0:20:27You did save it as you went along, right?

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Oh, no. All that work for nothing.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Thank you, Valerie.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35All that technology at your fingertips

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- and you're right back to square one. - Maybe leave it, yeah?

0:20:38 > 0:20:39Valerie...

0:20:41 > 0:20:42..you're a genius!

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Just down here and right.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Without sugar, just the way you like it.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Why, thank you, Dr Carmichael.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03That is very kind of you, and somewhat unprecedented,

0:21:03 > 0:21:05if I may say so.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06Well, it's the end of the day.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Chance for a chat and a catch up. - MACHINE BEEPS

0:21:08 > 0:21:12Is it just me, or has that infernal machine been doing that all day?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Yes, well, I have called the maintenance company.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18That is ridiculous. How's your tea?

0:21:18 > 0:21:20It is very nice, thank you.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Super.

0:21:22 > 0:21:23On an entirely unrelated note,

0:21:23 > 0:21:25how are things at your church these days?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Oh, thank God. Doctor, I need to speak with you.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'm sorry we are closed... - Please. It's urgent!

0:21:40 > 0:21:42He was throwing up at lunchtime as well.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Perhaps he ate something that didn't agree with him.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47I was with him at lunch. He didn't eat anything.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51What about these?

0:21:54 > 0:21:56What are they? Pep pills?

0:21:56 > 0:21:59Well, no, these aren't stimulants, they're emetics.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01You said he was vomiting earlier?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Have you noticed anything else unusual?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Has he been exercising excessively lately?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'm not sure, I don't really know him that well.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12The mirror. He'd taped up his mirror.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17OK. Well, this doesn't seem to be about drugs or exams,

0:22:17 > 0:22:19and now I am concerned.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Have you talked to him about any of this?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23I tried to but he just grabbed a bottle of vodka

0:22:23 > 0:22:24and shut himself away.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25I thought he didn't drink.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26MOBILE RINGS

0:22:29 > 0:22:30Oh, my God.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34OK, where is he now?

0:22:35 > 0:22:36HE LAUGHS

0:22:38 > 0:22:39Is he still in there?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Who cares? Come and join the party. - Get off.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Has anyone spoken to him?

0:22:43 > 0:22:44I'm a doctor.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Seriously? He's just having a tantrum.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Why don't I get you two lovely ladies a drink?

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Can you stop being a prat for like five minutes?!

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Fine. Do what you want then.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56Max?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Max, are you all right in there?

0:22:59 > 0:23:00Max!

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Max, this is Dr Carmichael. We met this morning.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04Can I come in?

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Max, please just let us in.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08We have to get in there.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09Jared! We need you.

0:23:09 > 0:23:10Please?

0:23:12 > 0:23:13ALARM SOUNDS

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Oh, my goodness! Look what has happened.

0:23:20 > 0:23:21ALARM STOPS

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Whoa.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Dude, what have you done?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35How many have you taken?

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Hopefully you've vomited most of them up.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Gross.- Make yourself useful and call an ambulance.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43I thought you were...

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Why didn't you let me help you?

0:23:45 > 0:23:47You only wanted to help yourself.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48That's not true.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53OK, maybe it was, but I had no idea.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54I thought you liked me.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I did. - OK, that's enough.- I do!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Max, do you want to tell me why you did this?

0:24:02 > 0:24:04You don't know what it's like.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Every day, looking like this.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Like what? There's nothing wrong with you!

0:24:11 > 0:24:12OK, enough.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Max. Come on, Max, sit up.

0:24:17 > 0:24:18How long have you been anorexic?

0:24:21 > 0:24:22Tell me about the mirror.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I just wish I could be normal.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Like him.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32If it was his face in the mirror...

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I don't understand.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38It seems that Max has a very poor self-image,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41which means that he's repulsed even by his own reflection.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Enough for him to take drastic measures. Am I wrong?

0:24:49 > 0:24:50But why?

0:24:51 > 0:24:53That's the question that Max needs some time to answer for himself.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56But for now, hospital then we're going to get you some therapy.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57You need support.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00You need to call your family, get your parents down here.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Are you his friend?

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Of course I am.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05OK, you need to go with him to St Phil's.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07I'm scared.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08I'll be with you.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I promise.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Come here.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16I'm going to take care of you.

0:25:17 > 0:25:23I was planning on giving a very technical, very savvy,

0:25:23 > 0:25:26and very dull lecture this evening.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28But then something struck me.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33For all the artifice of the modern world,

0:25:33 > 0:25:39for all the smartphones and tablets and gadgets...

0:25:41 > 0:25:44..we are no more connected now than we've ever been.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48If anything, we may have become more disconnected

0:25:48 > 0:25:53thanks to the technologies which circumscribe our digital existence.

0:25:55 > 0:26:00Social media, which assigns our friends a number but not a value,

0:26:00 > 0:26:06automated machines which keep us from interacting with human beings.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Ciphers and passwords which codify and compartmentalise

0:26:10 > 0:26:12our very identities.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17But what good are these wonders of technology

0:26:17 > 0:26:20if they keep us running at such a fast pace,

0:26:20 > 0:26:24so busy that we risk missing what's right in front of our eyes?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29PHONE RINGS Because the true value

0:26:29 > 0:26:33of human endeavour lies not in feats of science,

0:26:33 > 0:26:36not in the push of a button or the blink of an eye,

0:26:36 > 0:26:38but in connecting with other people.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Right, you, just get away. The rest of you clear off.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Look at the state of this place.

0:26:54 > 0:26:55Argh!

0:26:55 > 0:26:57HE SCREAMS

0:26:57 > 0:27:00I think it would be easier if I did everything myself.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03I could bring Joe too, maybe this Sunday, to church?

0:27:05 > 0:27:09- There's something not right. - Yep.- Be careful.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- He's still in there. - OK, thank you.
