0:00:33 > 0:00:35Great night!

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Great things come from great undertakings.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40- You're coming with us again tonight, yeah?- Yeah.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- I will see you later. - All is love, man.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50- Bye!- See you, guys!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17- I was beginning to wonder. - Hi.- Busy night, I take it?

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Been on my feet the whole time.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23I was worried you'd miss sehri. I hope you stopped long enough to eat?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Yeah we all ate together at the community centre.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27So where is everyone?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Your brother's off playing cricket,

0:01:29 > 0:01:33your father is dropping off your grandmother on his way to work.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36She asked after her "little prince".

0:01:36 > 0:01:41- Are you all right?- Yeah, I'm fine. Just going to take a quick nap.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43It will have to be quick. Your doctor's appointment?

0:01:43 > 0:01:48- Oh, yeah, right, that.- Are you sure you're OK? I can drive you.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- I'm free this morning. - You don't have to.- Don't be silly.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53You could even nap some more in the car.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56If you're going to be volunteering tonight, you should be well rested.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Anyway, Naani Jaan left this behind,

0:01:59 > 0:02:03and I must drop it off. It's not mine yet, but one day...

0:02:03 > 0:02:06It'll be yours, just like it was hers, and her mother's...

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- ..And her grandmother's... - ..And her grandmother's mother's!

0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's the one, real family heirloom

0:02:12 > 0:02:15and she'll fret if it's not under her roof, safe and sound.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Just like I fret when you're out all night.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'll wake you in time to get ready.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I just think it's interesting. This idea of spiritual cleansing. Morning.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Morning. Spiritual cleansing?

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Ramadan. Niamh's brush with it has made her a convert.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It has not.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35We're all a bit lapsed in our family, some more than others.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38I just always envy people with a strong faith, you know?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41There but for the grace of God go I.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44They always seem to have their act together and they seem really content.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47I think you're mistaking "content" with "placid".

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Placid to the point of being bovine.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Yeah, they're content cos they don't question anything.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53That's a bit cynical, even for you.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Does being Muslim not mean anything to you?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Muslim? - Uh-oh.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- You are, aren't you? - Why? Because I'm the right colour?

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Not at all, I just thought... - Well, think again!

0:03:08 > 0:03:12The Donoghue opens its mouth and firmly inserts its foot.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19So. What is it? Malnutrition, fainting spells,

0:03:19 > 0:03:22medication failing cos you're not taking it when you should?

0:03:22 > 0:03:23What?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Why would it be anything like that?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's the standard checklist during Ramadan.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31We get a sudden influx of cases

0:03:31 > 0:03:33brought on by dehydration and fasting.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37- So just because I'm religious, you assume I'm an idiot?- Aasim.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Though I do object to your presumptions.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42You're quite right, Mrs Masood, I do apologise.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44But in my defence, I did have to refer someone to hospital

0:03:44 > 0:03:47this morning for exactly those reasons.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48Yeah, well, it's my arm,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51not my spiritual wellbeing that's brought me.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53He broke it, and it's been out of the cast a while now

0:03:53 > 0:03:55but he's still having problems.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57OK. Is the pain constant or intermittent?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Intermittent...

0:03:59 > 0:04:04though it never seems to hurt when I'm facing Mecca. Funny, that.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08MUSIC: "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry

0:04:10 > 0:04:12MUSIC DISTORTS

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Fully extend.- I take it you're not a practising Muslim yourself?

0:04:43 > 0:04:49No. And turn. Though I'm not completely ignorant on the subject.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51It sounds as though you only see the negative side to things.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- There's more to Ramadan than fasting.- I'm sure.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Aasim has been working with the homeless, haven't you?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59We've been helping out at the community centre,

0:04:59 > 0:05:01doing an outreach programme.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Are you OK? You're not in any sharp pain?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07He may be overdoing it a little.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK, relax. Sit down.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14It's what it's about, testing yourself.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Ramadan is a time of learning better self-control, self-discipline.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Making sacrifices and having more empathy for those less fortunate.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22That's all fine,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25as long as you don't make yourself ill into the bargain.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30It's a time to turn away from evil thoughts and worldly activity.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32You have to redirect the heart.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well, I'm going to redirect you to St Phil's.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I think you need to see the physio. - Is it serious?

0:05:36 > 0:05:40No, but I'd expect to see him have a better range of movement by now.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Can you give us a moment?

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Something I want to ask. Man stuff.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48All right, as long as you don't go burdening Doctor Tyler

0:05:48 > 0:05:50with lots of medical questions.

0:05:50 > 0:05:51He's waiting for his A level results.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Hoping to study medicine in London. - Really?

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Oh, man.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Want to tell me what's going on? - It's a medical emergency.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I am seriously dehydrated.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27How come? You weren't fasting overnight.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Were you drinking?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- I was clubbing last night. - Not helping the homeless?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- And? Have you taken something? Aasim, if you're having a reaction...- I dropped an E, OK?

0:06:39 > 0:06:43We all did! It was totally safe. And I didn't take it while I was fasting,

0:06:43 > 0:06:47but I'm thirsty now because of it, so this counts as a medical exemption.

0:06:47 > 0:06:52- You can ask my Imam. - And this is part of redirecting your heart during Ramadan, is it?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Dropping an E?- I wouldn't expect you to get it.- No, come on,

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- I want to hear this.- Taking the E, it makes me feel transcendent,

0:07:00 > 0:07:03like...really in touch with my spiritual side.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Sounds like a very convenient way of justifying it, to me.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- All paths lead to Allah if your intentions are pure.- What about the part where you lied to your mum,

0:07:10 > 0:07:12who thinks you're helping the homeless

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- but really you're off your face in some club?- You're not holy.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I wouldn't expect you to get it.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20I totally empathise with going out for a good time with mates.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21But I don't need drugs to do it.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26Neither do I but there's different spiritual paths to a greater good.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- Why not explore them? - Do you really believe that?

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Sounds more like having your happy cake and eating it to me.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34To the holy, all things are holy.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37And when exactly did you get "holy"?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38What?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Ecstasy tends to stay effective for at least six hours

0:07:41 > 0:07:43and that's if it's pure. So when did you take it?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Dunno. Last night.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm prescribing you with stronger painkillers

0:07:50 > 0:07:51but do not take it for at least 12 hours.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54It will interfere with anything else in your system.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58You'll hear from St Phil's in a few weeks.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02All done? Questions answered?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hasn't been taxing you, has he?

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Problem with answers is they lead to more questions.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10I'll pray for you.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32How's your arm?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Bit sore.- Well, make sure you take your tablets

0:08:34 > 0:08:36as soon as you break your fast.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40What was this morning about?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42A doctor's appointment?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Something else? Something really important?

0:08:46 > 0:08:50How did we both manage to forget this?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Aasim! What's with the giant spoon?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh, don't ask, man.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Are you still wired?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02We all just had a joint, just to mellow a little.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Man, you are mad.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06I'm just pacing myself, getting ready for tonight.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Last night's going to be hard to top, though.- I hear you.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Look, man, I've got stuff to do. - Yeah?

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Better than this stuff?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Danny scored it. It's better than we dropped last night.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Primo Scooby, he reckons. - I can't.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Mate, there's no come down if you stay up there.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Look, I know you don't partake of the old shining leaf, so...

0:09:30 > 0:09:32You know it makes sense.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- All right.- I'll see you later, yeah? - See you later, man.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38MUSIC: "Hey Brother" by Avicii

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Excuse me, sir, you haven't seen my grandmother, have you?

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Mrs Ahmadi? She's about this tall, big glasses?

0:10:07 > 0:10:08They make her look like ET?

0:10:08 > 0:10:11No? OK, thanks.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23All right? You know the best thing about dope?

0:10:24 > 0:10:29Getting the munchies. Everything tastes so boss, you know?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Looks it. - Have a bhaji.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I'm not meant to.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39I've got plenty.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44And crisps, and... double chocolate muffins.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Mate, I just want to roll in it.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51Get naked and everything, and turn myself...

0:10:51 > 0:10:54into a giant...dirty kebab.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Hello. Everything all right?

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Just seeking refuge.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28It's mad out there now the kids have broken up, isn't it?

0:11:28 > 0:11:29That's not what I meant.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33No...I know.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I just didn't want to go wading straight in.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Can I help?

0:11:43 > 0:11:45I've been having thoughts.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50Everywhere I go, there's temptation.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53- And you feel tested? - I feel I'm going to fail.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56- That's good. - What?

0:11:56 > 0:11:59If you were denying the struggle to yourself,

0:11:59 > 0:12:01that would be the real failure.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06But the fact that you're facing your fear about what might happen,

0:12:06 > 0:12:09that shows you're not totally lost to the temptation itself.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Whatever it is.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Some temptations are worse than others.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Maybe. But...

0:12:19 > 0:12:22however bad it is, I'm here for you.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28No condemnation, no meaningless platitudes, just...understanding.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Reverend, may I have a word with you?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Oh, Mr Robson, I did not know you were here.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Mrs Tembe, what is it?

0:12:40 > 0:12:45The flower rota. I have had Mrs Mackenzie on the phone twice

0:12:45 > 0:12:48this morning about who will have preference over the altar flowers.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Again?

0:12:50 > 0:12:53When did flower arranging become a competitive sport?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56It is threatening to become all-out war between her and Mrs Barnes.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00Carnations at dawn? All right, I'll have a word with them.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Think about what I said. I'll be back in a bit.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25All right, Sleeping Beauty? Ready for round two?

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- What time is it? - It's summer time - who cares?

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Look, we've got a party at Mozza's. - I can't. Gimme my bike.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Mate, he's got a hot tub. - I need to go home.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39Chill. No worries, yeah? I'll see you tonight.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56You were gone a long time.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I suppose she wanted to hear all you've been up to.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Up to? - Your voluntary work?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06You don't look so well. Is it your arm?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Have you had your painkillers?

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Aasim, it's OK if you have. - I just want to lie down.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Where does it hurt?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Here.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Perhaps you shouldn't be taking them on an empty stomach.

0:14:17 > 0:14:18What did Doctor Tyler say?

0:14:18 > 0:14:20I'll be OK.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23No. Go on. Go upstairs. Lie down.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Hello, can I speak to Doctor Tyler?

0:14:35 > 0:14:41So, you feel like you are slipping back into your old way of thinking?

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Some days are harder than others.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Well, you must try to think of every day as a step forward.

0:14:47 > 0:14:52You cannot make sideward steps on the path to redemption.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- You don't understand. - But I do.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Let me tell you something.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I have had days when my troubles seemed insurmountable.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07I had people treating me in a horrible, cruel, racist way.

0:15:09 > 0:15:15Yet I kept looking forward, telling myself, "This will not last."

0:15:15 > 0:15:20To react...will only make things worse.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25- When did you take the painkillers? - Perhaps they were a bit too strong?

0:15:25 > 0:15:28They shouldn't cause this kind of reaction.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31I didn't take any painkillers. I just want to sleep it off.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Can you give us a few minutes, Mrs Masood?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Sorry, I need to ask Aasim a couple of questions

0:15:37 > 0:15:40that he might get embarrassed about answering in front of you.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Or course.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47What's going on?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49HE BURPS

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Oh, man, thought I was dying.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55So I'm dealing with a case of common or garden heartburn?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57At least your mum will be relieved.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00You can't tell her! I didn't eat anything last night.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05- I was so hungry. It was a medical emergency.- Another one?

0:16:05 > 0:16:08If only there was something I could prescribe for religious hypocrisy.

0:16:08 > 0:16:12- I'm not a hypocrite! - Then why do you have to lie?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Sometimes we must go to face the fight,

0:16:15 > 0:16:17not wait for it to come to us.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22For example, I have taken it upon myself

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- to confront the local newsagent. - Why?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Magazines. On the top shelf.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32He tells me not to look up, but they are everywhere

0:16:32 > 0:16:34and I'm not just doing it for myself.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36There are children, and the elderly.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41You're right! It IS everywhere. It's always there.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45I'm just walking down the street and I find myself looking.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47The whole world is a top shelf.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- I- cannot encourage such a conversation.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Stout resistance and clear-sightedness

0:16:55 > 0:16:57will rid you of any doubt.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02- But these thoughts... - Are to be cast aside.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Do not look up.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09You said you're not a practising Muslim. You've never had to fight with your spiritual side.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11I had things bad enough without adding to my problems.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14I bet you never had anyone expecting anything from you, no-one telling you

0:17:14 > 0:17:17how to behave. What did you have to overcome to get where you are?

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Well, I got called coconut, half-breed,

0:17:21 > 0:17:24mongrel, by the other kids and those are the nice ones.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- See, I didn't fit in anywhere. - So you could be anything you wanted.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32I'm a British Muslim. Going out with your mates, being one of lads

0:17:32 > 0:17:35when what you want goes against everything your faith is telling you.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Try balancing that.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Maybe you can't, not without compromising your expectations.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43But I've seen plenty of British Muslims manage it.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44How?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47All sorts of ways, but they didn't need to take drugs to do it

0:17:47 > 0:17:49and they didn't lie to their families.

0:17:50 > 0:17:51You made that choice.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55It wasn't forced on you by your friends or your faith.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01So we are agreed?

0:18:01 > 0:18:04No more dwelling on the past.

0:18:04 > 0:18:05Temptation is only there

0:18:05 > 0:18:08if we deceive ourselves into believing it is.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09I'm not kidding myself.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11No doubt.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14But strength cannot succeed

0:18:14 > 0:18:17if we constantly question that it might fail us.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Have faith.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Remember...Psalm 119:28.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31"My soul is weary with sorrow..."

0:18:33 > 0:18:36"..strengthen me according to your word."

0:18:41 > 0:18:42KNOCK AT DOOR

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Can I come in?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Oh!

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56I broke my fast.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01- It's OK, Doctor Tyler said I should make sure you drink some water. - No, I've eaten too.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03I can't do it, Mum!

0:19:03 > 0:19:05I've tried.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07I do everything you and God ask me,

0:19:07 > 0:19:09but it's just not enough. I've failed.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I've had food, I've been disrespectful

0:19:11 > 0:19:14and I left Naani Jaan's ladle in the park.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17That's where I went to stuff my face after I left here.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21I've shamed myself, I've shamed the family

0:19:21 > 0:19:24and I didn't take any painkillers because...

0:19:24 > 0:19:26because I deserve to be in pain.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Look, I think we'll just have to accept the ladle's gone.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42- I'm sorry.- We'll tell Naani Jaan and hope she'll not take it too badly.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45No, I'll tell her. It's my fault.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'm the one messing up family tradition, on top of everything else.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52- There you go again.- What? - Taking everything on by yourself.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I think you set yourself up to fail sometimes

0:19:55 > 0:19:56by setting the bar so high.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Because I want to get everything right.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Aasim, why are you putting so much pressure on yourself?

0:20:01 > 0:20:05I have to if I'm to honour our faith, the family,

0:20:05 > 0:20:07the things you expect from me.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Admit it, Mum, you're proud of me when I'm a good Muslim.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Come over here.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I know you were under a lot of pressure with your A levels,

0:20:22 > 0:20:25and you just piled that on top of all the other things

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- you try to accomplish. - Isn't that what I should be doing?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Not if it means you live your life for the approval of others.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yes, we want you to do well,

0:20:33 > 0:20:37but you must be happy, not struggle to make others happy.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm going to ask you something important now, and I want you

0:20:42 > 0:20:47- to think about it, not just tell me what you think I want to hear.- OK?

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Are you unhappy with your faith?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52No, listen. Faith is important

0:20:52 > 0:20:54and we should take strength from it.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57It should leave you feeling spiritually fulfilled,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59not discontented.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02And...that's what I get with you, sometimes.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'm not.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06It's just...

0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's difficult...

0:21:08 > 0:21:11trying to find a big enough place for it in my life sometimes.

0:21:11 > 0:21:17Look, find your space, be by yourself to pray, yes,

0:21:17 > 0:21:20but also to ask yourself what it is that might make you more contented.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'll see you back at home.- OK.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Oi-oi! He's back! - Thought you'd gone to Mozza's?

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Everyone was asking where you were.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44You make it happen You are the party, man.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Yeah, well, you'd better find another party animal to go with.- No way.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50I can't do it. It's doing my nut in.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52What's up? Do you need a little pick-up?

0:21:52 > 0:21:55No! No more gear. I need a break from it.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58Look, I can't keep trying to be two different people!

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- Trying to make everyone else happy. - Well, who's asking you to?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02- Aasim?- Mum?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Are you going to introduce me to your friend?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yeah, um, this is Karl

0:22:07 > 0:22:10we've been doing the night volunteering together.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Yeah, I've been helping with the drugs counselling.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's really nice to meet you, Mrs Masood.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Aasim's told me a lot about you. - Really?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23He's not said anything about you.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Karl was just saying there's some new volunteers starting tonight,

0:22:26 > 0:22:29- so they don't need us. - Yeah, it's all work and no play.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Well, in that case, would you like to join our family this evening

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- when we break our fast? - Will there be enough food?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37As if you need to ask.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40During Ramadan we open our home as well as our hearts.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42You'd be very welcome.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50So Mr Robson, shall we prey?

0:22:50 > 0:22:55I always find prayer has the power to reduce my fears to nothing.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Why won't you listen to me?

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Because you are talking of thoughts that I cannot encourage.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03But...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07It's fine.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10Well, I think there's peace in the pews, for now.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Mrs Mackenzie has been appeased? You are a miracle worker, Reverend.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18She was feeling unappreciated, just needed a calm-headed approach

0:23:18 > 0:23:19and a sympathetic ear.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22That and standing well back when she let off steam.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Sorry, Josh, do you want to carry on our conversation now?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30No.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's fine. I'm fine.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34I'd better, uh...

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Uh... See you.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43He seemed very troubled before, something really weighing him down.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Did he say anything to you?

0:23:45 > 0:23:51We had a long talk. I think everything was resolved.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Hello? I thought I'd prepare a couple of dishes

0:23:58 > 0:23:59that aren't so spicy.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02You looked a little wary when I talked about what we'd be eating.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04He'll be fine.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05Human dustbin, me.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Can I get you something to drink? - Yeah, I'll have...

0:24:09 > 0:24:12No, it's fine. I'd feel bad having a drink when you guys can't.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Don't be silly, Karl, you're our guest.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16OK. If you've got a Coke?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Of course. So, what was this secret errand you had to do?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22This.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24I hope Naani Jaan will understand.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm sorry. I try to be a good Muslim.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, that's all anyone can ask of you. Anyway,

0:24:34 > 0:24:35your volunteer work is proof.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Out at all hours, giving up your time to help the homeless.

0:24:40 > 0:24:45Mum...why do you always accept the things I tell you?

0:24:45 > 0:24:49Perhaps if I don't ask, you won't have to lie about it.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51I've not been working.

0:24:52 > 0:24:57I've been going out clubbing and drinking. With Karl.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I see.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01So, you're not..?

0:25:01 > 0:25:05A drugs counsellor? No. Sorry.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09I've just got to take this call.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Mum, I'm sorry, OK, but my friends are important to me.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17I like hanging out with them. I don't mean to fail.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18No-one does.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Why do you think they call it practising a faith?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25It's because we aspire to perfection.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29You're not a failure, Aasim. You're 18.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33You've got your whole life ahead of you at getting it right.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Sounds like something Doctor Tyler said,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37except he thinks religion's rubbish.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40That aside, I expect he sees a lot

0:25:40 > 0:25:43that makes him understand human frailty.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Something else I've got to learn, I suppose.- You want to be a doctor?

0:25:47 > 0:25:49To help others, you need compassion.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Perhaps you could learn by his example.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Now...is that everything?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Should we declare an amnesty and make a clean sweep of it?

0:25:58 > 0:26:01No, that's it, I promise.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03PHONE RINGS

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Hello? Mrs Ali, how are you?

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Do you want me to go?- Nah, it's cool.- You sure?- Yeah, it's fine.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13The whole mosque?! I see.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Could you hang on a minute?

0:26:16 > 0:26:19So, you've told everyone your grandmother looks like ET?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34What's that?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh, just some rubbish.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38The things that get blown in from the street!

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Lead us not into temptation.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Lead us not into temptation.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Lead us...

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- Ah, you must be Dr Macpherson. - Call me Toni.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Argh!

0:27:16 > 0:27:18I reckon I'd go mad.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22Stuck at home, alone, sticking things in envelopes.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24He's got it. He's got the book!

0:27:24 > 0:27:25Are you a dancer at all?

0:27:25 > 0:27:26No, no.
