0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Have you been waiting long? - Yes.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Good. Please, take a seat.

0:01:13 > 0:01:14So...

0:01:16 > 0:01:18..your test results.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Just bear...

0:01:23 > 0:01:24with me.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Oh, come on, tell me what I already know.- Excuse me?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33The tumour - it's malignant.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35There's no tumour. Not even a benign one.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38What do you mean?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40You're in the clear.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Let me have a look.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46Oh.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54I always leave those meetings with a real sense of purpose

0:01:54 > 0:01:56and optimism.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Yeah...

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Are you all right, Mrs Russell?

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Oh, yes, thank you. Why do you ask?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Usually you have so much to say.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16But this morning...hardly a word.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18It's nothing.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27It's my husband.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I think he's done something terrible.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40For some time, I've suspected that he's been keeping something from me.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Now I know what it is.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Oh, I see.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47He's smuggling immigrants into the country.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Illegal immigrants.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Would you like me to bring your chair round?

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Um, no, thank you.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, nothing appears to be remiss.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Your scans are quite comprehensive.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Yes, I think your conclusion is sound.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'm glad it meets with your approval.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29It must come as something of a relief.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37Yes, but only an end to these baffling symptoms will provide that.

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Yes. You are still a bit of a mystery, so far.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46I'll speak with your GP, we need to refer you for some further tests.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49- In the area of dementia. - Dementia?

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Early onset. It's a possibility.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Not that you are presenting as a classic case,

0:03:56 > 0:04:00but I feel it best to err on the side of caution.

0:04:00 > 0:04:05So more probing and prodding and waiting.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Unavoidable.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm afraid you're just going to have to be a patient patient.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Did he see you? - No, I don't think so.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18I do not know Mr Russell, granted.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21But I am surprised that he would do such a thing.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, I do know him.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26And now that I'm over the initial shock, I'm not so surprised.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30He's always trying to make a quick buck, bolster his beer money.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- I should have taken the scenic route.- Sorry?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35To the meeting.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Then I wouldn't have seen him, I'd be none the wiser.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Ignorance is not always bliss.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44What would you do, Mrs Tembe? If you were married to Gary?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48I know. You wouldn't be married to someone like him.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51You have much better taste.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Reverend Clement was a lovely, decent man.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yes. No doubt he still is.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00Maybe I should've found myself a nice vicar.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Gary and me, we haven't seen eye to eye, not for a long time.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08That doesn't mean that I want to see him behind bars.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10No, of course not.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Perhaps you two should discuss the matter, before it gets any worse.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17A discussion? We haven't had one of those in years.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23I'm good till six, so we've got all day to blitz it.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Fantastic.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28By tonight we'll be Letherbridge's answer to Abbey and Aljaz!

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Yeah, or Widdecombe and Du Beke. No offence.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33SHE LAUGHS

0:05:33 > 0:05:35You know, I've got that DVD I mentioned,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38we can see how we measure up to the professionals.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42And I've got another little surprise up my sleeve.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Can't wait. I'll See you soon. Bye.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46Bye.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- What's wrong? - Hayley's got nanny-flu.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56You're kidding?

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Just as well you've got the day off work.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Oh, no, I've got plans, which cannot be changed.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- You're looking after Joe today. - No way.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Today's rehearsal is crucial. Toni's gone to a lot of trouble.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Well, can't you just rehearse tonight?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09No. We need a long session.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'm sure you'll think of something. Got to dash!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Bye.- Nice negotiating, Zara!

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Thanks for nothing.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22HACKING COUGH

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Mr Russell?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Is my watch running fast, or yours slow?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Neither. I'm running a bit behind schedule.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34You only waltzed in ten minutes ago.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Keeping you from the golf course, are we?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Not that it's any of your business, but I do not play golf!

0:06:39 > 0:06:42If your complaint is such a dire emergency,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- why don't you go to A & E? - You can't talk to me like that.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46I think I just did.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49A bit of harmless banter, he tells me to get lost!

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- I do apologise, Mr...? - Russell.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Howard Bellamy, practice manager.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I'm afraid Dr Carter is chasing his tail a bit this morning,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59so perhaps we should book you with another doctor.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh, er, Dr Tyler has just had a cancellation.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Perfect, thank you very much, Mrs Tembe.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07If you'd like to go straight through.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10My office.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19I'm glad you could join us, Joe. Daddy needs a chaperone.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Sorry. It's not ideal, I know.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23How's his Len Goodman impersonation?

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Er, it's a work-in-progress. He can only count to five.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'll try not to take it personally.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31- OK, let me take your jacket. - You go to Daddy.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Oh, come on now. You're putting me to shame.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38My stylist wasn't available this morning.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Come on, you look good in anything.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Right, I'll just sort some toys out for the boss,

0:07:43 > 0:07:45- and then we will be good to go.- OK.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52About six months' time, he said.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Yeah.- I might be dead by then.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Would you like an appointment card? - Yeah, go on, then.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02I gather it is a very busy time for you,

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- what with the cross-channel trips. - Eh?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I'm friendly with your wife, through the church.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Right.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14I saw her this morning, at the parishioner's meeting.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Since when's Rita got anything to say about me - or my job?

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Bye.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28BALLROOM MUSIC PLAYS

0:09:05 > 0:09:06SHE LAUGHS

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Thanks, Joe!

0:09:10 > 0:09:13What they lack in skill, they make up for in enthusiasm.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15HACKING COUGH

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Unlike your boys, all that money on transfers.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20No-one wants to break a sweat.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22When you're that good, you don't always need to.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Yeah? So what happened on Saturday?

0:09:24 > 0:09:28Ah, the referee forgot his bifocals! Where did they dig him up?

0:09:28 > 0:09:32He's not that ancient. HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Probably younger than me! YOUNG MAN LAUGHS

0:09:35 > 0:09:38All right, I know. I walked into that, didn't I?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Didn't expect you to pick up.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Thought you'd be catching some zeds.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I couldn't sleep. I was too hungry.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50HE COUGHS VIOLENTLY

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Is everything OK?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's just this flippin' cough.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59I got some test results from the quacks. Turns out I've got TB.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Oh. Sorry.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05I guess it puts the kibosh on our French adventure.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07I reckon so.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Your cab's a bit of a breeding ground at the best of times.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12All those forgotten cheese and pickle sarnies

0:10:12 > 0:10:17- in the glove compartment! - The smell never bothers me. Not with the windows down.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20All the same, I'd better keep away till you're over it.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Fair enough. - I have to be careful.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26I'm susceptible to illnesses, infections.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Yeah, how come?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31There's something I haven't told you.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33I've wanted to tell you for a while.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- But I could never find the right moment.- Sounds ominous.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39I have HIV.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Ready for his siesta? - Out like a light.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Let's multi-task, shall we?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- You know that surprise I mentioned? - Mm.- True Confessions.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Parlour games aren't really my bag.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58They do it all the time on Strictly, as an ice breaker.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00The more relaxed we are in each other's company,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- the better our tango will be. - Really?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Oh, great. You've probably given it to me!- How?

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- I can't remember the last time I even breathed on you. - Just as well!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16You think I don't know your dirty secret?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18- And why you've got TB. - Eh?

0:11:18 > 0:11:19It's rife among immigrants.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- You've probably caught it from one of your travelling companions. - What you on about?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I saw that foreign fella climbing out of your truck.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I don't know how you sleep at night.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I don't. I sleep in the day, given the chance!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32You've got to put a stop to it, Gary.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Just keep your nose out of my business!

0:11:36 > 0:11:37How old were you?

0:11:37 > 0:11:42Ten or eleven. Beyond the age where it was potentially cute.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Mothers can be cruel.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Yeah. I think she did it to deter female attention,

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- in the run-up to my eleven-plus. - Did it work?

0:11:51 > 0:11:56Not entirely. No, I think Lucy Gifford took pity on me.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59As did Alison Rathbone.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01And... I digress! Anyway, your turn.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Reveal your most embarrassing sexual experience.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08No! No way! That was meant for you.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11I have revealed my pudding bowl shame. It is your turn.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14All right.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17OK.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22I was sixteen, and I had this summer job, on a dairy farm.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30And he admitted it?

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Shameful, he was. Just told me to keep my nose out.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35And he's doing this on a regular basis?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yes. I think so.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39What possessed him to take such a risk?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Money, of course. What else?

0:12:45 > 0:12:50You know, back in Botswana, I had a friend from Zimbabwe, Mrs Moyo.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Life there is much harder, many live in great poverty and fear.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00One day, Mrs Moyo's cousin went missing.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, he was a young man.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05He had no wife, no children. She feared that he was dead.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09And then one day, she received a phone call.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15He was safe and well, and living in France. Illegally.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20The people who had organised his journey, in several vehicles

0:13:20 > 0:13:24and across many borders, no doubt they were criminals, racketeers.

0:13:26 > 0:13:30And yet, he claimed to have paid them nothing.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35He believes that they were not motivated by greed.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38But by compassion.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42You're suggesting that Gary's some kind of bleeding heart missionary?

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I couldn't say.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm just merely suggesting that the situation...

0:13:48 > 0:13:50well, it is complicated.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Gary isn't complicated.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57He's a typical bloke - reads trashy tabloids, likes a drink

0:13:57 > 0:13:58and a gamble.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04I know you meant well, Mrs Tembe, but when you told me

0:14:04 > 0:14:08to discuss it with Gary, I shouldn't have listened to you.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09Now I'm implicated.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12The police might accuse me of being an accessory.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13I doubt that.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I'm withholding evidence, as are you.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18That's a criminal offence, isn't it?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Gary's given us no choice.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24We need to inform the police.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29KNOCK ON DOOR

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Enter.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33You've been keeping a very low profile.

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Wading through treacle.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37How did it go with the consultant?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39No tumour.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Great!

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- He wants me to do more tests.- OK.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46He just left me with more questions.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51You've got to suck it up, Heston. Just like our patients have to.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53The tests are for dementia.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- He says he's erring on the side of caution.- Really?

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Well, there are no flies on you yet.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Thank you for your vote of confidence.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Oh, and thank you for dealing with Mr Roswell.- Russell.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Whatever. Tricky customer, that one.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10He's a pussycat. I think you over-reacted.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yes, so Howard tells me.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14The poor guy's got TB.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16I think an apology might be in order.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's on my to-do list.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Is it your truck? - I dunno. Is it?

0:15:26 > 0:15:28So says the DVLA.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32The guy walking away, do you recognise him?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Why? Has he done something wrong? - Might have. Do you know his name?

0:15:36 > 0:15:39Not sure. Could be any number of people.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40What's this all about?

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Your job. It takes you to and from mainland Europe

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- several times a week, is that right? - Yeah. Three times a week, normally.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- I'm on nights at the moment. - Do you always travel alone?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52No. I've got a truck-load of Camembert to keep me company.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Now, if you'll excuse me, Officer,

0:15:54 > 0:15:58I need to get some more shut-eye before my next trip.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01You're going nowhere, Mr Russell, until you answer my questions.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03You're barking up the wrong tree.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06OK, let's go down the station and set the record straight?

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Otherwise what? You'll arrest me?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Yeah, if I have to.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20What's she doing here? You selling tickets, are you?

0:16:20 > 0:16:24I do not wish to intrude, but your wife insisted.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Mrs Tembe has provided great solace, and moral support.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Where's the vicar? In the cupboard under the stairs?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39This time tomorrow, the judges won't know what's hit them.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Probably a stray stiletto.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44We'll have to work out who gets custody.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Custody?- Yeah. Of the trophy. It's ours for the taking.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Maybe. But it's not the winning, is it?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Yes, it is. It's all about the winning.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56- Bye, partner. - See you. See you.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Mr Obasi Kano. British citizen.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Has he done something wrong?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13No. Not as far as we know.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Have you known him long?

0:17:16 > 0:17:19A year or so. We met in The Saracen's.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21He's a night owl too.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23He does three nights a week as an office security guard.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26The rest of the time, he's at a loose end.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- So he just comes along for the ride, does he?- Yeah.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33A couple of months ago, I asked if he'd like to tag along, half-joking.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36He'd never been to France before so he jumped at it.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39After that, it became a regular arrangement, once a week.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Course, we don't get to see much of the Continent,

0:17:42 > 0:17:43but it's company, isn't it?

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Good company.- If you say so.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50I've been in this game twenty years.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53And life on the road can get pretty boring. And lonely.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57I'll be sure to make a note of that in my paperwork.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00That is, once I've charged you with wasting police time.

0:18:00 > 0:18:05Charged me? It's my wife who sent you on a wild goose chase.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06Mmm.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18Perhaps... perhaps some time apart will be good for both of you.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Well, it lends new meaning to a "trial" separation.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Well, thank you for the tea.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32DOOR OPENS, SHUTS

0:18:36 > 0:18:39- They let you go? - Of course.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40How come?

0:18:40 > 0:18:41No need to sound so pleased(!)

0:18:47 > 0:18:50Oh, hi. Homework!

0:18:50 > 0:18:52You not going out?

0:18:52 > 0:18:56No way. Not after all my exertions with Daniel. I'm totally frazzled.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02- The competition - it's tomorrow night.- Oh, right, of course.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03You feeling confident?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Daniel is. He's a natural.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08He's very diplomatic about my two left feet.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12Why would I have told you about him?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14You've always disapproved of my friends.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15They're banned from the house!

0:19:15 > 0:19:18I don't have anything in common with your drinking buddies.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20They can be very...coarse.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Well, they are housebroken, even if they're not refined, like you.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26The pub and the truck, they're the only places I can be myself.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Now you want to take that away from me too.- I didn't say that.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Those long journeys must be very tiring.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36No doubt a companion stops you from falling asleep at the wheel.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38That's right. Thank you, Mrs Tembe.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'd like to meet him. Your mysterious friend.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48- Obasi?- Yes, Obasi. - Why do you want to meet him?

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'm curious. He doesn't seem your usual sort.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Can't think what the two of you have in common.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Why? Cos he's black?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56No, because he's half your age.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58What on earth do the two of you talk about?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Anything, everything. Same as in the pub.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Why don't you invite him here, for a cup of tea?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- What, now?- Yeah.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08Now.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Joe's so full of character and confidence.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16He's a real chip off the old block.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18And Daniel's so devoted to him, it's a joy to see.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21Yeah. Anyways...

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Zara's done really well for herself.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I gather they've had their ups and downs,

0:20:26 > 0:20:28the three of them, but they make a great team.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Something wrong?

0:20:34 > 0:20:35No.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Good night.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thanks for dropping by.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Come and meet the wife.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50Oh, no...

0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's good to meet you, Mrs Russell.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58I am Mrs Tembe. It is lovely to meet you.

0:20:59 > 0:21:00Please, take a seat.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06- You got time for a cuppa? - Yeah, just about.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14You're a lucky woman, Mrs Russell. Gary's a wise and decent man.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17If that's the case, you must know him better than me.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Where are you from?

0:21:20 > 0:21:21Lagos, in Nigeria.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24But I came to the UK when I was very young.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Legally? - Mrs Russell!

0:21:26 > 0:21:30Yes, legally. My aunt had already settled here.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32And what of your parents?

0:21:34 > 0:21:35It's complicated.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39Thanks.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45I never knew my father.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48And my mother, she died when I was a year old.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54I lived in a foster home for a while, until my auntie adopted me.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- She's always been my guardian angel. - I see.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02And how did your mother pass away?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05I do not think these questions are appropriate.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's OK. I don't mind talking about it.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12My mother had HIV, then AIDS.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15How awful.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18And what about you?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Did she pass the disease onto you?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22For pity's sake!

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I didn't invite Obasi here just so you can insult him.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26I was born with HIV.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Nobody expected me to reach my teens.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37But now, the drugs are much better. They keep it under control.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Did you know about this?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yes, I did.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43And you're happy being cooped up

0:22:43 > 0:22:45for long periods of time, breathing in his diseased air?

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Enough of your bile.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Not only are you rude, you're pig ignorant!

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Don't be so politically correct. It's common sense, isn't it?

0:22:51 > 0:22:55I agree with your husband. Your words do not befit a Christian.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00Oh, and because you had Reverend Clement's blessing, that makes you holier than thou?

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Goodbye.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06I wish you both the best of luck.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Sorry you had to hear that.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13It's OK.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18I'll see you at The Saracen's, when you're up to it.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24RINGTONE

0:23:24 > 0:23:25'Hello?'

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Oh, hello. Is that Mr Russell? - 'Speaking.'

0:23:28 > 0:23:32It's Dr Carter here from The Mill Health Centre.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'd like to apologise for how I spoke to you earlier.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Ha! Boss give you a slap on the wrists, did he?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Er, no.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Kidding. Forget about it.

0:23:43 > 0:23:49That's very kind of you. But my behaviour was...unacceptable.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54Not that it's any excuse, but I'd had a pretty ghastly morning.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56You and me both, mate!

0:23:56 > 0:23:59First off, your colleague tells me I've got TB, then my own wife

0:23:59 > 0:24:02tries to have me arrested - for a crime I didn't commit!

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Really? Gosh, I'm very sorry to hear that.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Life has a way of kicking us when we're down, doesn't it?

0:24:09 > 0:24:11And then some. HE COUGHS

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Well, mind how you go.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14You too.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18And remember - the darkest hour is just before the dawn.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Maybe I did speak out of turn.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35It's just that I was concerned. For your health.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39What are you looking for?

0:24:39 > 0:24:41A good solicitor.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42A solicitor. Why?

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I'm doing something I should've done years ago.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Filing for divorce.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Where's Joe?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Gone to bed already. He's bushed.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03What did you do to him?

0:25:03 > 0:25:05We danced a little bit. He loved Toni.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Good, well done.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10He's still got one eye open for Mummy.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12PHONE RINGS

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Your other woman.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Er, which one?

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Hi, Toni.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21I just wanted to thank you again for today.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23I had lots of fun.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24So did I.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28You know what, we're ready. But I'm feeling so achy.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Are you sore at all?

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Yes, a little. Nothing a long, hot bath won't sort out.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well, enjoy.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Thanks again, Daniel. - No problem. See you.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Ta-da! What do you think?

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Can't get away from that bloomin' ballroom dancing.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Mr Twinkle Toes, Anton Du Beke! - APPLAUSE

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Daniel, are you in there?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02I think we could be really good together.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Please, Daniel.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06Do it for me.
