0:00:39 > 0:00:40What?

0:00:40 > 0:00:43No, we're not getting the bus today, love.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Come on, let's walk.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Good morning, Dr Carter. How are you?

0:00:52 > 0:00:55I've been feeling blocked up and sniffly

0:00:55 > 0:00:57since I got out of bed this morning.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01There's a lurgy going round. Not feeling 100%.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Poor you. You should be at home, tucked up in bed.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05No, it's just a head cold.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06I've got too much to do here.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09I am supposed to be at The Campus Surgery with Dr Carmichael

0:01:09 > 0:01:12and Dr Granger, but I suppose they won't mind

0:01:12 > 0:01:14if I make you a nice cup of tea.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15That would be a godsend.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18If you could bring it to my consulting room, please.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Good morning.- Yeah.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30We walked here.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Couldn't get a bus?- Didn't see one.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35It's Kelly. She's not been very well.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37OK. Can you be a bit more specific?

0:01:37 > 0:01:41She's never got any energy. She's only six.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43She should be bouncing around like a little dynamo.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45And her skin's not been very good,

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and she keeps coming down with everything that's going round.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- OK. Pop her up over here and we'll have a look.- OK.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Even if they do invent time travel,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59no-one's going to come back and tell us, are they?!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Straight down there on the right.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Niamh?- Sorry.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06Mrs Weston and baby Thomas?

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Of course.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Listen, this is your business not mine,

0:02:11 > 0:02:14but you've not seemed yourself for a couple of days.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Is everything all right?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18As all right as it ever is.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20That doesn't sound good.

0:02:20 > 0:02:25Look, if you need to talk or anything, you know?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27Thanks.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36So, you've been getting lots of bugs?

0:02:36 > 0:02:40That's the thing about school, it's the perfect incubator for germs.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43All right. Can you turn to me?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45That's it. Can I look in your mouth?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Just open up. Lovely. I'm just going to look at your gums.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50OK. You can close your mouth.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Have a look at your neck quickly. And this side.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59OK, I'm going to get the nurse to take some bloods.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01You and I need to have a chat.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02What? What's wrong with her?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04In a second. Come with me, Kelly.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08As I say, the symptoms are perfectly normal

0:03:08 > 0:03:10and they should clear up...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13..with the medication.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Sorry. If they don't get any better, just come back in a day or two.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21You need to go home and rest.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- It's just a cold.- You deal with the ill and vulnerable.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26They don't need to catch whatever you've got

0:03:26 > 0:03:29on top of what they came in for in the first place!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Never mind infecting the rest of the staff.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Your compassion for me shines like a beacon.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36You're not sending me home at the first sign of a sniffle.

0:03:36 > 0:03:37I don't need your mollycoddling!

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Do your walking while you're talking.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Spend the rest of the day looking up cricket stats,

0:03:42 > 0:03:44or teapots, or whatever you do.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58So, Susan, how are you feeling, emotionally?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Me?

0:04:01 > 0:04:02OK.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04You don't have any contact with your family?

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- No. I don't see them. I don't speak to them.- Good.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09This has got nothing to do with them.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13I know. It's just that you're here, I wanted to check in.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Me and Kelly, we're all right on our own.

0:04:15 > 0:04:16We take care of each other.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19What's wrong with her?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23I wasn't sure about bringing her in. I didn't know what you'd think.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, what I think is that Kelly might have scurvy.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Scurvy?

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Did she get it at school?

0:04:30 > 0:04:33No. It's not infectious.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's rare. The truth is, I've never seen it before,

0:04:36 > 0:04:38but I'm aware that there is more of it around now

0:04:38 > 0:04:41than there has been for the last ten years or so.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43What we'll do is, we'll do some tests,

0:04:43 > 0:04:47but I did see some petechiae on her neck, those spots.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50That, together with the gum condition and the lethargy

0:04:50 > 0:04:52all indicate scurvy.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54It's due to a lack of vitamin C in your diet.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57You're saying it's my fault?

0:04:57 > 0:05:01I'm saying that Kelly needs to eat more fresh fruit and fresh veg.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04It's unusual, but it is treatable.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06I'm going to refer her to paediatrics

0:05:06 > 0:05:09and prescribe a course of vitamin C supplements.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10I do look after her, you know.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I don't want anyone saying...

0:05:14 > 0:05:16No, yeah, of course.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19No problem.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Fresh fruit?- Yeah. OK?

0:05:22 > 0:05:23Yeah.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Once we've got the blood results, we'll call. OK?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30She asked if she could have one.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Kelly!- It's all right, I have more.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35- I'm really sorry. - No, really, it's fine.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41The child saw me take the biscuits out of my bag,

0:05:41 > 0:05:44she could not take her eyes off them.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45She wolfed them down.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49You shouldn't be giving patients food.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, I...

0:05:52 > 0:05:53I am sorry.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Are you happy with that?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yeah.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Just keep an eye on the baby's weight.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's a little less than I'd like.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Not by much at all, but you know, best keep an eye on it.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09You coming down with that bug Heston has?

0:06:09 > 0:06:12You just seem a bit flat.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13I never get those things.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17Even at home, when everyone else was flattened, I was immune.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Lucky.- Really?!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21They were all laid out while I was running about doing everything.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Oh, yeah. Been there, done that, bought the snotty T-shirt.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Yeah, you're right, though.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I suppose I have been a bit, I don't know, out of sorts.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32Yeah. Why is that?

0:06:32 > 0:06:33Man trouble.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37I thought we had something going, and...

0:06:37 > 0:06:38He didn't?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Well, some people don't know when they've got a good thing.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's no-one you know.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47It's not that Irish guy, is it?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Because I thought you didn't get home that much.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51I get home enough.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54I better get on.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12KNOCKING UPSTAIRS

0:07:14 > 0:07:15Damned birds.

0:07:18 > 0:07:19KNOCK ON DOOR

0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Hello?- Your housecalls.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26One of these days they're going to have a mobile phone app,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28you just throw it all over.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Bywater Drive?

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Isn't that close to where Susan Towell lives?- I think so.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I should have time to swing past.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39If she's not spending her benefit money on a good diet,

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- what is she spending it on? - I looked at Miss Towell's records.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- She is a drug addict?- Recovering.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50If she chooses to spend her money on drugs, that is her choice.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52But if her child is going hungry...

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Did the little girl say anything to you?

0:07:54 > 0:07:55No.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Are you going to call social services?- No.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Dr Granger, a child is involved.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I know. And I also know Susan a lot better than you. OK?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06I want to look into it a bit more. Don't worry,

0:08:06 > 0:08:08as soon as I make my decision, I'll be sure to run it past you.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09Excuse me.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17There you are.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Listen, that stuff we were talking about...

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I just came in for a drink of water.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24I've got a patient waiting. I can't talk now. Sorry.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30MICROWAVE BEEPS

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Hi, Susan.- Doctor?

0:08:44 > 0:08:46There's nothing to be worried about.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50- I was in the area, and I thought I'd like another look at Kelly.- Why?

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Just to put our minds at rest about a couple of things.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55You see, where there's scurvy...

0:08:55 > 0:08:57You got the test results back?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Not so soon, I'm afraid. But if she has scurvy,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02there's a chance there might be other problems.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I just want to check for a couple of things.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Can't I just bring her round?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I'm here now. And it really is for Kelly's own good.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13The kitchen will be fine. Ideal, in fact.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Kel!

0:09:29 > 0:09:31You should probably go and fetch her.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Kelly!

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Kelly!

0:09:39 > 0:09:43Come on, the doctor's here to see you. Come in the kitchen.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I thought it might be a simple case of a lack of fresh fruit and veg.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53But are you eating anything?

0:09:56 > 0:09:57I...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I can't afford any food.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Then what are you spending your benefits on?

0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Nothing. They cut them off.- What?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07They said I was fit to work.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09I told ATOS not yet.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12They still cut them off. A month ago.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15You can't have gone completely without food for the last month.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- What have you been... - Begging. Stealing whenever I could.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22You should've said something. Why didn't you come to us?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25What can you do? They'd made their decision.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29They even said to me that if I was homeless I'd get some benefits.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33I can't be homeless, I've got Kelly. They'd take her off me.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- They're not in the habit of taking kids away from their parents. - With my history? Drink and drugs.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- You honestly think if I was homeless they wouldn't?- I'd tell them...

0:10:40 > 0:10:42And they listened to you last time?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44They want people off benefits, not getting on them.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48This has to stop. It's affecting your daughter's health.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50If her diet's as poor as you've made it sound,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53the chances are she could be suffering from malnutrition.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54You both could.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57I can't lose her.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59I don't need it spelled out.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- I think you both might be ill. I have to do something.- What?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06What are you going to do?

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Honestly, I'd rather do nothing than lose her.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Are you avoiding me?- No.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22It's not that. I just keep things close to myself.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Look, don't worry about it.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26I know I shouldn't.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Whatever works for you. It's fine.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35It's not Jimmi, is it?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- He's a nice guy, but...- No!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39No, no, no, no!

0:11:39 > 0:11:40No.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- You must never say that.- I won't.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46It is definitely not Jimmi.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Message received.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Oh, God. I'm protesting too much.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52You're going to be funny with him and he's going to...

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Why did I open my mouth?!

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Look, I'll tell you who.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01- But you have to swear not to say anything.- Of course.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05It's Al.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Al? What, our Al?

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I mean... Does he know?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16He's not interested.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18He's fun, he makes me laugh,

0:12:18 > 0:12:20he's kind, he's gorgeous,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23and he's got a brain the size of a planet,

0:12:23 > 0:12:25and I mean a real planet, not one like Pluto

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- that was never really a planet to begin with...- You've got it bad!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31You do know about the...

0:12:31 > 0:12:33The Jas thing. He told me.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35He got blamed for a lot of things he didn't do.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39He was honest with me and it made me like him more.

0:12:39 > 0:12:40You know what?

0:12:40 > 0:12:44He liked someone but made a mess of letting her know,

0:12:44 > 0:12:46and got the signals all wrong.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48What a heinous crime. Nobody's ever done that!

0:12:50 > 0:12:52You have to promise not to say anything.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's bad enough without...

0:12:54 > 0:12:55I won't say a word.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57I swear.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00It'll get easier.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Yeah.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07If the child's not being looked after properly, it's a no-brainer.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Contact ATOS.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11This woman was the victim of horrible abuse,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14both emotionally and physically, by her family.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Her mother did nothing

0:13:15 > 0:13:18because she thought the kids brought it on themselves.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21So, from childhood, she's been deeply traumatised.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24She survived by cutting off all contact with them.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26She became an addict, then homeless,

0:13:26 > 0:13:29and she's made a huge effort to put all that behind her

0:13:29 > 0:13:31because she wants to try and get a normal life.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33I sympathise with her.

0:13:33 > 0:13:34But the child has got to come first.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- If she can't look after it... - She can!

0:13:36 > 0:13:38If she's given the right support.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41And she's exactly the person you want to give that support to

0:13:41 > 0:13:44- because she wants to sort herself out.- The deserving poor...

0:13:44 > 0:13:46The only way it seems she can get that support

0:13:46 > 0:13:49is if she declares herself homeless! It's madness.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52You're ticked off because ATOS ignored your recommendation.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54I'm not! We see lots of people like Susan.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56But she's made progress.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59The responsibility of having a child has motivated her to stay clean.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01And we're pulling the rug out from under her.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03So write a letter to The Guardian.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Come on. What do you want for supper?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Have you listened to a word I've said?- Did I have a choice?

0:14:07 > 0:14:09KNOCK ON DOOR

0:14:09 > 0:14:10Yes?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14ATOS returning your call, Dr Granger.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Put it through to me here, please.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK, wait. Deep breath.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Blood pressure, Daniel.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Hey! Since it's my last evening before going away,

0:14:29 > 0:14:31do you fancy joining in if we can get a bit of a gang together

0:14:31 > 0:14:33to go for a few drinks?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Don't you have bags to pack and hair to wash?

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Yes, but a few drinks will get me in the mood.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39No, I'm wiped.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Come on, I'll invite Jimmi and Karen. It'll be fun.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yeah, but I won't be. Thanks though. Next time.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yes, I do know there's a lot of pressure to get people off benefits.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53But I was clear in my report

0:14:53 > 0:14:56that Ms Towell wasn't to be taken off hers yet.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'd like to know who made that decision and why.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03No. I don't have any new information.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Isn't the point that you do actually have new information?

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Her child's health?

0:15:10 > 0:15:13I don't think that would be in Susan's best interests to

0:15:13 > 0:15:14offer that information up.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17It simply amazes me how people can justify any decision,

0:15:17 > 0:15:19good or bad, as being for the patient's good.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22She's scared that if they think she can't look after her child,

0:15:22 > 0:15:23they'll take Kelly off her.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- I've seen enough systemic abuse to know that's not what I'm dealing with.- Oh, come off it,

0:15:27 > 0:15:31they would only take the child away as an absolute last resort.

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Like they did with us?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36We were different.

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Yes. We're middle class, have good jobs, we're educated.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42And there's two of us. And we only just kept Joe.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Taking her benefits off her is creating the crack which leads

0:15:46 > 0:15:48to that absolute last resort.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10TURNS TV ON

0:16:12 > 0:16:15FLICKS THROUGH CHANNELS

0:16:21 > 0:16:23FILM DIALOGUE ON TV

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I don't need a proper appointment or anything.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00She does not want a consultation, just...

0:17:00 > 0:17:01- Just a quick word.- Sure.

0:17:03 > 0:17:08I spoke to my mum. She's going to give us money.

0:17:08 > 0:17:09I can buy some food now.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Your mother? Are you sure about that?

0:17:12 > 0:17:16You've spent all this time moving away from your family.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18My mum was never the problem.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21She wants to see Kelly sometimes, but as long as I keep her

0:17:21 > 0:17:24away from the rest of them, it'll be fine.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27Thanks for everything, I suppose. We're going to be all right now.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29So you don't have to worry about us, OK?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07CREAKING

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Who's there?!

0:18:16 > 0:18:17I have a weapon!

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Show yourself or get out of my house!

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Have an amazing holiday.

0:18:29 > 0:18:35Listen, I know you said you wanted to stay in, but please come out.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Thanks, but...- We're going to that new Vietnamese place, the Lau Cup.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40You said you love Vietnamese food!

0:18:40 > 0:18:41What's going on?

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Nothing!

0:18:43 > 0:18:45I'm going home.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Niamh, I'm just worried about you.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49I feel guilty because you seem like you need a mate

0:18:49 > 0:18:51and I'm just going away.

0:18:51 > 0:18:52I'll be fine.

0:18:52 > 0:18:57You won't, though. So I told Emma you need a friend.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58You told Emma what?!

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I didn't give her any details.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Did you say Al's name to her?

0:19:02 > 0:19:05Well, she asked what was on your mind, so...

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Mandy!

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Emma is really good at keeping secrets

0:19:10 > 0:19:12and she's a dead good listener. Look, you should go round there.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14She'd love to see a friendly face.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's the last time I tell you anything.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20Niamh, don't worry about it. It'll be...fine.

0:19:33 > 0:19:40Whoever you are, I know you're here and I will find you.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44CREAKING

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Since when were you a socialist?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57I'm not.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00How exactly is this going to help? Sure, they eat tonight.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03But what about tomorrow? The next day?

0:20:03 > 0:20:04You going to do this every day?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08This woman has been under my care for some time.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10She's kept up her end of the bargain.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- She's being let down. - You're being a sap.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Daniel, has it occurred to you that you're being played?

0:20:15 > 0:20:16What, for some tuna,

0:20:16 > 0:20:18some oranges and carrots?

0:20:18 > 0:20:19I've spoken to Howard.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21He said that you've had some patients who've started using again.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Is that what this is about?

0:20:23 > 0:20:25If you can save this girl, then...

0:20:25 > 0:20:27No. I'm not trying to save anyone.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Good, because we're only doctors.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33And anyway, you've never been the touchy-feely,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36campaigning-for-social-justice type.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Selfish and vain, that's why I fell for you.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41That's hilarious.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48This isn't about me, OK? This situation makes me angry.

0:20:48 > 0:20:49What's so weird about that?

0:20:49 > 0:20:53You simply don't know what the real situation is.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56I know you want to believe it, but come on. If her family

0:20:56 > 0:20:59are as vile as you say, she'd never let them near her daughter.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Susan, you're not...?

0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's none of your business.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06You didn't go to see your mum at all, did you?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07My family nearly destroyed me.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Living on the street nearly destroyed me.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm not going to let that happen again.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14You can appeal the benefits decision. I will back you up.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16How long's that going to take? Weeks? Months?

0:22:16 > 0:22:18- What we going to eat till then? - It's not much, but...

0:22:18 > 0:22:21You going to feed us every night?

0:22:21 > 0:22:22This appeal thing's probably not even going to work, is it?

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I've trusted people before. They let me down.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Go away.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Look, you can't do this, OK?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31You can't leave Kelly at home while you go out...

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- So, I'm a bad mum as well, am I?! - I'm not saying that.

0:22:33 > 0:22:36You had no right nosing around in my home.

0:22:36 > 0:22:37I'll deal with this my own way!

0:23:12 > 0:23:15If you show yourself and leave, I won't call the police.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17That'll be the end of it.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Why are you doing this to me?!

0:23:32 > 0:23:37Which service do you require? Police, fire or ambulance?

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I...I'm sorry. I don't need any of those.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43It was a mistake. Sorry.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00Susan. Susan, get in the car.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01Please! Before I get arrested.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02I'll scream.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06- No, you won't! - I can't believe I thought you could help us. Stupid, stupid, stupid...

0:24:06 > 0:24:09If you don't stop this, I'll report you. Now.

0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Tonight. - You...you can't. You know what'll...

0:24:12 > 0:24:15How can you do this?!

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Because you have other options.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's sick because I haven't got the money to feed her!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Is this what you want her to grow up seeing? Is it?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Please. Get in the car. Come on.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07We'll get you registered.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09It might take a day or two before you can get any food,

0:25:09 > 0:25:11but you've got that stuff I brought you.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12And make sure they give you fresh fruit.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Come by The Mill tomorrow whenever it suits

0:25:15 > 0:25:17and we'll get the benefits appeal kick-started.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21I'll come round, but I want to go to a new practice.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Why?

0:25:23 > 0:25:24You threatened me.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27I was trying to help you. You were putting yourself in danger.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30I know you were trying to help, but you still threatened me.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32You were going to report me for...

0:25:32 > 0:25:35And you would've told them I left her on her own.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38I haven't let you down. Unlike everybody else you trusted.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40But if that's what you want,

0:25:40 > 0:25:44of course we'll look at getting you registered with another practice.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Let's go, babe.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58DOOR OPENS

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Put the world to rights?

0:26:11 > 0:26:12So...

0:26:17 > 0:26:21After all that, did you actually achieve anything?

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yes. I think I did.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44MAN CHUCKLES

0:26:54 > 0:26:57VEHICLE APPROACHES

0:27:03 > 0:27:04It's just a bit of pudding.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06That's the stuff that's making you ill.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08You do not wish to have a male doctor?

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- No, I don't want to see a fat one. - They're playing the Ramadan card.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13She's really thin and she's really fat.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15I wouldn't say really fat.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Tell me why I shouldn't perform my religious duty.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20You're a diagnosed anorexic who's currently losing weight.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23What can I do to help you?

0:27:23 > 0:27:24The sight of food makes me ill.
