0:00:25 > 0:00:29Now, here we are. And there's plenty more if you want it.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30This looks lovely, thank you.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- And here's Dave's. - Wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Morning. Sleep better?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41What do you think?
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Do you try counting backwards?
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Waste of time.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49No-one beats your breakfasts, Mum.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Not going into work today?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54- I'm taking some time off. - Now that makes sense.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Does it?
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- I can't concentrate, so what's the point?- It might distract you.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01My marriage is over, mate, you think I can forget that?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Work my guts out for 20 years.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Oh, it's upsetting, of course it is.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Why does she want a divorce when I've done nothing wrong?
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I don't know, love. He needs time.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's been weeks.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I didn't know she was serious. She never has been before.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18How come I have to move out?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Cos Jackie and the girls, they're settled there.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21I was settled there!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Well, you're here now and your breakfast's getting cold.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26I'm not hungry any more.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34MUSIC ON HEADPHONES: Bad by Michael Jackson
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Not you.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Heston, have you decided on who your icon's going to be yet?
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Well, I'm looking for someone who is quite, um, quick-witted?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Sharp as a pin. Excuse me.- Sorry.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Who's that poncey French detective? Hercule Poirot!
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- He's from Belgium.- Perfect.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08What about Patrick...? Patrick Moore, with the monocle.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09He was highly intelligent.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- What have you come as? - Peaky Blinder.- Peaky, meet Poirot.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Al, it's not your turn to be photographed.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Yeah, I'm perfectly well aware of that. Thank you, Heston!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah, it's Sid's. 2pm, staffroom.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Can we make it quarter past? I've got referrals I need to chase up.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- I am looking forward to it. - Give me some more ideas?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Were you doing a police shift last night?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I did want to ask you about your police work
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Still recovering, catch me later. - OK, yeah, sure.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39So?
0:02:39 > 0:02:44So what? I just thought I'd accessorise a bit, that's all.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Is this for real?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Al, ignore them. It's a big improvement. Well done.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51"Big improvement", what's that supposed to mean?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- No, it is!- It so is!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59You all consider yourselves ex-friends.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Keep busy, love.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11How about taking me up the Mill for my appointment?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13You usually get a taxi.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15You paying?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Shouldn't he be at work?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yes, go on, son. Quickly now.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Aww.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24See you soon then, Mum, yeah?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26What's that all about?!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He's just a big softie, that's what he is.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30One word for it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Well, off you go, Sam. And have a great time.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Day, day.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, we've got to go shortly, so get yourself ready.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45All right. No point dwelling, I suppose.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48No, no point at all.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53What's the special occasion?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You having another bash at the partnership?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Should I be?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Uh, well, we've got a full house, unfortunately.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Don't you worry. This has an entirely different purpose.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Ah. Posh restaurant with Mo?
0:04:05 > 0:04:09No, boring lunch at the boring Icon.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Sorry to hear that. I thought things were going well for you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Oh, no, it's over,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15or at least it will be once she sees how boring I am.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20When we're alone, she can be quite persuasive,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23but she hasn't seen how boring I can be.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- All right, good luck.- Cheers, mate.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Oh, the new medication's great, doctor.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Plus I've got so much to look forward to.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Oh, is there anything on the horizon?- Christmas!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Oh, I love it! It's my favourite time of year, isn't it, Dave?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46My mate Beryl's got the most fantastic place on the high street.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, it's a pound shop, really,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but it's packed with festive trimmings from September.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54There's stockings and crackers - the lot!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56From September?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I love Christmas as much as anyone,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01but I usually try and keep a lid on it until December.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Your reception's looking very bare this year, doctor.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Now, if you need more decorations, I can get you a discount.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10That's very kind of you but I think we're all set.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Now, your blood pressure is a little high, Angie.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Is there anything that you're stressed about at the moment?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's me who's stressed.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19He's a bit down.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21My marriage has crashed and burnt.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25He's taking time off cos he can't concentrate.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26That makes sense.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I've got a good team, they'll manage.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29I dunno if I will.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Have you considered talking to your GP?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Sometimes it can be...
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Well, what they going to do?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Right, I'm going to ask the nurse to keep an eye on your blood pressure,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43but can I also ask, are you all right coming to the surgery,
0:05:43 > 0:05:44or is it too tiring?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46No, no, no, I'm fine in the mornings.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm shattered.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Right, it's just that MS can cause severe fatigue.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Yes, it does get worse later in the day.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56She slept OK last night, snored for England.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Oh, I didn't keep you awake?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Nah, I just couldn't stop thinking about stuff.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It will get easier, love.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Angie, are there any other symptoms you want to discuss?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09You can wait outside, if that's easier, while I talk to your mother.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12No, no, no, I'm fine, doctor.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Like I say, with Christmas on its way, I'm happy as Larry.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32The car's this way.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34We've run out of tinsel.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Oh, Mum!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Hoo-ee!- Hello.- Hello, Beryl. Here, give him a basket!
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Oh! Ha-ha-ha!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Oh, great, there you go, Dave, put it in there.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Mum.- Oops! I'm sorry, Beryl!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Where you going now?- Beryl's going to show me her new stock.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Not now, Mum, we've no time.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- You're not at work. - Sam can bring you at the weekend.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Oh, I won't be long. - No, I only put half hour on the car.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I said to put an hour.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Well, I didn't, so I'm not risking a parking ticket,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17so come on.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18- Sorry, love.- Dear, oh, dear.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Sam'll bring her Saturday - he's got loads of time. Come on.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Sorry, Beryl.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I'm sorry, Mum, I haven't got the patience for shopping.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Give me your hand.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Don't rush me, love. My balance's not so good.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Thought you were at work. You going somewhere?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Come on, Mum. Let's sit down.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Thanks, love.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- I'm OK, love.- Come on, Mum, let's get you sat down.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50What's going on?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Oh, that's better. - Mum, you look knackered.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Stick the kettle on, love.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It weighs a tonne.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Sam? - I haven't had a holiday in years.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Holiday? You're joking me. You can't leave Mum!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10No chance. And what about your precious magazine?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Aren't you their star writer?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Where were you off to?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16New Zealand! Mum!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18New Zealand!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Did you know?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Unbelievable!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's only three weeks and I'm writing some features while I'm there.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Three weeks?! You never said a word!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30- I knew you'd kick off. - What did you say?
0:08:30 > 0:08:33I told him to slip away quietly.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I know his flight's not till later but I didn't want a fuss.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Is this why you dragged me in that stupid pound shop?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Mum, Mum.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- You thought he'd be gone by the time we got back!- Shut up! Mum, you OK?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- It's nothing.- No, something's wrong.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48My eyes are a bit blurry, that's all.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50What did Dr Donoghue say?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I was going to mention it but I thought what with Christmas...
0:08:54 > 0:08:55She didn't tell the doctor?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57No-one mentioned eyes.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00For goodness' sake, Mum, you've got to tell the doctor everything,
0:09:00 > 0:09:01otherwise what's the point?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03What are you doing?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04You might need urgent treatment.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07No, no, no, please, Sam. Please, don't. There's no need.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh...
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- OK, here we go. I look completely ridiculous, don't I?- Mm.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Here he is.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oh...wow.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27What have you done with Al?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Al's here, he's just trying a new look.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32What do you think?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34You look like you've lost a bet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- SHE SCOFFS - Sorry.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You all right, Niamh? Do you fancy joining us for lunch?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, that's really kind of you, but...
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I have a Mr Sam Sanderson on the line.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Mrs Sanderson has a problem with her eyes and she is exhausted.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Can you tell them that I'll call them in a bit?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Actually, on second thoughts, I'll nip round there.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes, tell them I'm on my way.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Thanks for the offer, Mo.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Niamh, come out with us. Three's company.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Shall I get us a table while you get changed?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09No, no, I'm not getting changed.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12This...is the new me.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Yeah, right! Come on, I'm starving.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Why did it have to be three weeks? Why couldn't it be three days?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28This is precisely why I didn't want to tell you in the first place.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29I knew you'd react like this.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31You should have told me, we could have worked something out.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35But you're here now. Plus, you're off work, so what's the problem?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37You didn't know that when you booked your flight!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You can pull your weight for once.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- You listening to this, Mum? - We're trying to concentrate.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It's not me that's been looked after by Mummy since I was in nappies.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Some of us leave home and make our own lives.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Then come crawling back when it goes wrong.- What did you say?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53She's been shopping and cooking and cleaning
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and washing your underpants for 35 years!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58One whiff of a holiday and you're off!
0:10:58 > 0:11:00OK, can we have some peace please?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I'm sorry, doctor. - Don't worry, I have brothers.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04It's honestly not like that, Dave.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You cook him breakfast every morning!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09That must be difficult with the stiffness in your hands.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I haven't cooked for months.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Eh?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I do it...and everything else.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17But Mum washes her own whites, don't you, Mum?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19After I dyed everything pink.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21We've all done that!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Why didn't anyone tell me you were getting worse?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25You never asked.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I'm going to refer you to a neurologist at St Phil's
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- and they'll decide a course of treatment.- Thank you.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32You're lucky to have such an attentive son, Angie.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Oh, Sam's ever so good. He's done all the research on MS,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37he knows more than I do!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39What about researching carers for Mum?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41How is she supposed to cope?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43You're here and Beryl's going to check in.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Dave, love, it's fine.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47No, it's not. I'm not having it!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Who was going to cook for you? Or were you supposed to starve?
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Well, come on!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Jackie.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59My Jackie? Who's just kicked me out?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01She knew about this?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03She knows I haven't had a holiday in ages. She said she'd lend a hand.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Jackie, that absolute cow who won't answer my calls,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09she knows and I don't!
0:12:09 > 0:12:10She listens!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Doesn't just talk about herself.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14What else has she said?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Quite a lot...over the years.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18About our marriage? About me?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21She's been unhappy, love. She couldn't take it any longer.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23What?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27You knew she was kicking me out?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29If you're always at work and never at home, what do you expect?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh... I'm sorry. He's got a lot on his plate at the moment.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's all right.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49Um, I think I'll have the burger with the lot, please, extra cheese.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Yeah, I'm going to go with the
0:12:51 > 0:12:54cranberry, feta and walnut salad, if I may.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Just a light lunch, man's body is his temple.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02OK, thanks, love.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06I understand how important food is to our health and wellbeing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09A doctor's got to practice what he preaches.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Have fun, die young is what I say.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16You see, that's the gulf between us. I am all about careful planning
0:13:16 > 0:13:21and taking life seriously. We only get one of them after all.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22True that, I suppose.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm considering abstaining.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Abstaining from what?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Animal products.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Oh.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, uh, aren't they leather?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Aren't what leather?- Your shoes.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's a good point, they'll have to go.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I think I'm going to do a 5K tonight.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Sorry, what now? - It's a kind of run,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50probably throw in a few yoga shapes as I go.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Wow.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57KNOCKING
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Hello.- Dr Donoghue, have you got...
0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's an emergency.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03What's happened?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05I will leave you to it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Thank you.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08You need to sort things out.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10OK, take a seat and we'll talk about it.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Mum needs respite care for Christmas.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15That's what it's called, temporary care?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I thought you were taking time off work.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21We've had a rush of orders, so I've got to work round the clock.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Can't risk losing customers, not nowadays.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28So you had a rush of orders today, this morning, in the last hour?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Why I had to leave earlier. - Not because you were annoyed?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I thought you had a good team at work.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I do but it's Christmas, and people want time with their families.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yes, they do.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Work's all I've got left, I'm not risking that,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44so can you sort the respite care or not?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Social services has a list of approved agencies,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48but also, isn't your ex-wife willing to help out?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51She's not setting foot through the door.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55OK. You don't think you're being just the tiniest bit childish here?
0:14:55 > 0:14:56You've got a nerve!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I'm not moving till you've got respite care for my mother.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03You can't stay here!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Watch me.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12You're shocked by the new me, aren't you?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Just a little bit, yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17See, I'm really not that fun-loving...
0:15:17 > 0:15:20..unpredictable, sex-mad, stallion I first met?
0:15:20 > 0:15:21No, I'm not.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22What's changed?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Well, I've been having an ongoing discussion with my GP
0:15:26 > 0:15:28about making a few changes
0:15:28 > 0:15:29and this is the new me.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31You take it or you leave it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I suppose I'll get used to it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36OK, that's one option.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Another one would be to say that me and you have had a grand time,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42but, what with Christmas on its way...
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You're not dumb, Al, I know that. So...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49If you think this guff's worth trying then we'll do it together.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51No! What? No!
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Y-you love life in the fast lane.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I'm pretty much a practising vegan -
0:15:57 > 0:16:00you can't get any more slow lane than that!
0:16:00 > 0:16:01I'm having to do yoga.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Hey! Don't you knock it.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yoga gives you freakishly supple joints.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07You can get into any position!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Trust me, I went out with a guru once.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Oh, happy days!
0:16:16 > 0:16:17That...
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Did I tell you that look really suits you?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It's choking me a little bit!
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Finally! Where's the rest of your outfit?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Sorry, five minutes.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33I've just got to do a quick e-mail.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42PHONE RINGS
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Hello?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Angie Sanderson? Yes, put her through, please.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Hi, Angie. I've got Dave here.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- My Dave?- He's with me now.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well, that's something. Is he OK?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57He's fine. More importantly, how are you?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The thing is I'm going to have to go into hospital.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Into hospital? Are you unwell? - Is she OK?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- No, no, no, I'm fine, but... - She's fine.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I can't afford carers and I certainly can't afford to go into a care home.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Hospital is for when you're really poorly, Angie.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13I don't want our Sam cancelling his flight.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15He's upstairs now unpacking.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Sam's cancelling his holiday?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I can't bear it, Doctor.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20What can I do?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Well, there is another option.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Oh, no.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No, Dave's still in shock.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28He genuinely didn't see this coming with his wife.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I mean, we warned him, me and Sam, but he doesn't listen to us.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I don't think he's listening to anyone at the moment.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36He's done his best over the years.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40I mean, everything he does is for family and look where it's landed him.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41SHE SIGHS
0:17:41 > 0:17:43He was such a loving, bright little boy.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46This is all my fault.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Angie, this is not your fault. - Oh, it is, Doctor!
0:17:50 > 0:17:51I mean, you're busy, so...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Look, what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell Sam
0:17:53 > 0:17:56you'll sort out a hospital bed for me so he can catch his flight.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58No, Angie, you know I can't do that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Yes, well, that's what I'm going to tell him, Doctor.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03So, thank you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Bye.- No, Angie...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11She's hung up.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12She wants Sam to go anyway?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15She thinks this is all her fault.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I have to decide soon because I need to find the right outfit.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29What?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Sorry, I was just...
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Heston, are you boring on again about what icon you're going to be?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I beg your pardon?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37You know, I've got the perfect thing for you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Right, you want something that's theatrical and dramatic,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43and musical, and full of charisma and panache, right?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44I'm not sure I really want your...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Demis Roussos.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah, you just, you know...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Get yourself a poncho, fake beard and fake chest hair.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Demis would fit you like a glove. Am I right?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Thank you, Al.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Maybe you should be Mrs Doubtfire.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yeah! Or Tootsie.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Why?!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Go and have a look in the mirror.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Good thinking, Batman.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Why would your mum think this is all her fault?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17She mentioned your childhood.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20We had a hard time when Dad died.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Mum had a bit of a breakdown, I suppose.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28How old were you?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Sam was nine. I was 16.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Smack in the middle of my GCSEs, so they were a waste of time.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It was...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I don't know. Bad times.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Really bad.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41How did you cope?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Sam was just a kid.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Mum couldn't work.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48She just kept staring into space.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So, I got a job.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Breadwinner at 16.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56All the hours I worked.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It was worth it cos I knew, deep down inside...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- This is going to sound silly. - I don't mind silly.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I thought I was Mum's...
0:20:10 > 0:20:11..favourite...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16..and I deserved to be.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17What's Sam ever done?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19He's doing a lot for her now.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And even when Jackie asked me for a divorce, I mean,
0:20:23 > 0:20:24that killed me, it really did.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I kept thinking, "I'll be OK...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31"..cos there's still Mum."
0:20:31 > 0:20:34She loves you. She loves both of you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37No. When she was talking about Jackie, I realised,
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I mean, she knew that my marriage was over before I even had a clue.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42They both did. Sam, too.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I come from a large family...
0:20:48 > 0:20:51..and we always wanted to be the favourite,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and I was for years,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and then really not.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06For what it's worth, I think you're underestimating your mother.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09She'd rather go to hospital than put you or Sam to any more trouble.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11That's stupid.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12She's blaming herself for everything
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- and that's not going to do her any good.- None of this is her fault.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, you need to tell her.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19And you need to listen to her, and to Sam.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Really listen. OK?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27I've got to pop out for a little bit, but I've got an idea.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Is this any good?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Uh...
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Just...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Just try and relax, Sid.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50What about that move you did this morning?
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- I was just messing about to my music. I didn't realise anyone was watching!- That's all right.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Just put your music on. Enjoy yourself.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04MUSIC: Thriller by Michael Jackson
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Let me just change this lens.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Shall we carry on then? - There's no need.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- They're all terrible, aren't they? - No, this one's great, look!
0:22:30 > 0:22:31She's right.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Crikey!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I actually kind of look like him.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Amazing! Well done, guys.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Nice one, Jimmi, I'm impressed.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43So am I! More luck than judgment.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Sorry, I'm exhausted after last night.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Oh, yeah, I was meaning to ask you - is there any way or any chance
0:22:48 > 0:22:52that I could maybe, er, shadow you during your police shift?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55You want to shadow me?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Yeah, I'd love to.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02All right, I'll look into it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Cool! Thanks, Jimmi.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09She's absolutely obsessed with tinsel.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- OK, well, then we need to get her lots of it.- Thank you.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Does she like blue?- Yes, she loves blue.- Blue it is.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- I'm not wearing that!- You are!- I'm not putting that on.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20I'm a doctor, you have to do what I say.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Come on.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- That's right!- No!- Right?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I don't want to look silly.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28No, you don't look silly.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK, I love that. That's going in.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- You're worse than she is! - You need a star.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I'm kind of the queen of Christmas, I'll be honest with you.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38It's a huge deal in my family.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- I think we're going to need another basket.- I'll carry these.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45What do you think?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Yes!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49I'll be fine in hospital, love.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Nice try, Mum, but you don't need a hospital bed
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and they're not going to give you one.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59It was a stupid idea, all of it, I must've been mad.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- Ho, ho, ho!- Oh!
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Oh, my goodness!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09SHE LAUGHS
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Can we put it up now?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14That's my job for today.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Might help me get my head together.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Come on, you'll be all right.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Dave, you're the most generous, warm-hearted man we know,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22isn't he, Sam?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23If he stops sulking.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Thanks!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Oh, I'm so proud of you both.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Why can't you appreciate each other?
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I mean, when I'm gone, you're going to have to look after each other.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33You're not going anywhere, Mum!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Come on, let's get these up, shall we?
0:24:35 > 0:24:36You've no time.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Your taxi's due any minute.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39What?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41For the airport.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Seriously? I can go to New Zealand?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45So long as you come back!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Oh, that's brilliant!
0:24:48 > 0:24:49- Thank you.- Oh, great!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Dave, oh, thanks so much.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00You and me, we're going to have the best Christmas together.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04What you got? Oh!
0:25:04 > 0:25:05How do I look?
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You had a good day?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24It was all right in the end.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31- You?- No, it was dreadful. It was spiralling out of control, dreadful.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34OK. Haskey, what's going on? What's up with this?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I need some advice.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I have this...friend
0:25:39 > 0:25:43and he needs to work out a way to get his girlfriend to dump him.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Why can't your mate just dump his girlfriend?.- He can't do that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49He came up with this really clever scheme where,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52if he kind of acted and behaved and dressed in a way,
0:25:52 > 0:25:53that she would find unattractive,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55then she would be the one to do the dirty deed.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56But let me guess,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00the girlfriend really went for this whole new look and attitude.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03She went crazy for it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Help me, Niamh.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- You're really good at breaking up with people!- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I mean that in a good way.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10You have to help me to find a way
0:26:10 > 0:26:14for my mate to break-up with Rob's cousin.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19OK, I think your mate has to figure this out for himself.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20He's on his own.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Thanks.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Good luck.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Hi, Mum?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Are you all right?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Yeah, no, no, I'm fine.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I'm just seeing how you are, if you're ready for Christmas.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53What? You've the presents wrapped already?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56OK, Mum it's not a competition.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58No, everything's really good. Really good.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02I was just thinking about you, so I thought I'd give you a ring!
0:27:07 > 0:27:10I suppose, if I'm honest,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I do miss sharing my life with someone.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14OK, now I'm getting mixed signals.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16So, what's your problem now?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17He's being German.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Sounds like he's being generous to me.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Actually, we're going to be deciding the shortlist
0:27:24 > 0:27:27for the practice manager's job today.
