0:00:44 > 0:00:45What's this?

0:00:46 > 0:00:48I thought I'd try making bobozee.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Well, you're not supposed to eat it for breakfast.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54- Aren't you?- No!- Oh...

0:00:54 > 0:00:56PHONE RINGS

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Oh, no, no, please, leave it.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59It's Nigeria.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01RINGING CONTINUES

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Mum... No, no, no.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10We were awake, we're awake. Yes, Mum, I know - 6am.

0:01:11 > 0:01:17Tomorrow. I'll be there. No, no, I can't wait to see you too.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19Bye.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23- She's coming tomorrow?- Yes. - I thought she was coming Sunday?

0:01:24 > 0:01:25SHE SIGHS

0:01:27 > 0:01:29That's an interesting stabiliser.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30It's a turbo-trainer.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Uses liquid-filled cylinders to create friction against the wheel.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35It's ideal for Tuesday's race

0:01:35 > 0:01:36cos we can ratchet it up as high as we like

0:01:36 > 0:01:38while remaining totally stationary.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Nice.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Morning, guys.- Hiya. - Grab that, would you?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Ah, nice. Fluid trainer.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46That's the basic model, isn't it?

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Top of the range, in its day.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Yeah, well, they've moved on since then.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Check this puppy out - it's an interactive smart trainer

0:01:54 > 0:01:56with electric motor brake.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57It's also silent.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Now that is a seriously bit of kit.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Yeah, well, listen, you get what you pay for in life, right?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06All right, all right. Tell you what - why don't we leave my bike here,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09see if we can get a bit of a buzz going with the patients about the race?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Or mine? Seeing as it's more state of the art.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm easy. What do you think, Sid?

0:02:14 > 0:02:20- Well, yours has got more miles on it, so it has more pedigree.- Mm-hm.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- But Daniel's is the business. It's sex on wheels.- Boom!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Yeah, he's talking about the bike.- I know.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Let's just leave them both here. - Fine.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Morning.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Oh, good morning, Miss Simpson. How are you?

0:02:37 > 0:02:42Very well, thank you. Except, I'm Mrs Akinwande now.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46No! Oh, how wonderful!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- I think you had just met when I last saw you.- Yes.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, thought I'd better snap him up

0:02:51 > 0:02:55before he escaped back to Nigeria after his PhD finals.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Seven months of married bliss.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Oh, that is so lovely. He is a very lovely young man.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05- You are a lucky lady. - Mrs Akinwande?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08That's me. See you in a bit.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Come through.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16You say it's tender when you go to the loo... What about now?

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Mm. Yep.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Right. Erm, any cramping or bloating?

0:03:23 > 0:03:24A little.

0:03:25 > 0:03:29But...it's the tiredness that bothers me the most.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31I'm just exhausted all the time.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Any palpitations?

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Maybe. A bit.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Right. And how are your stress levels? Are you getting enough sleep?

0:03:39 > 0:03:44Terrible. Though I do have the week from hell coming up.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47And what about muscle or joint pain?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50My muscles do sometimes feel a bit weak.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51OK, sit up for me.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Right, I just want you to follow my finger.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Good. Have you lost any weight at all recently?

0:04:03 > 0:04:05A bit, yeah.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09OK, I'm going to send you for an ECG and to St Phil's

0:04:09 > 0:04:11for some blood tests.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Crikey. - Oh, look, please don't worry.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16It's largely so I can rule out some things.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18Most of all, an overactive thyroid.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21It can often show symptoms like gastrointestinal upset,

0:04:21 > 0:04:23insomnia, weight loss...

0:04:23 > 0:04:28I don't know about my intestines, but I've just been so upset

0:04:28 > 0:04:31and anxious and irritable recently.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33I think Ade's wondering who he married.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Mood swings as well.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Look, try not to worry.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- We'll talk again when we get the results from the tests, all right? - OK.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45- In the meantime, Mrs Tembe will help you with an appointment. - OK.- All right.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Mr Walker. Come through.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56- All done?- I need an ECG, apparently.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Oh. ECG.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Tuesday morning or... 11.40 today,

0:05:05 > 0:05:07if you do not mind coming back?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Erm... OK, I only live round the corner.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Yeah, get it over and done with.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17So, have you been to Africa yet?

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Sore point.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22We just had a registry office do here with my parents

0:05:22 > 0:05:23and one of his brothers.

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Oh. So, no big Nigerian wedding? No extended family?

0:05:28 > 0:05:31I don't suppose that went down very well.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- I'm not sure his mum's forgiven me yet.- Oh, goodness.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36She's coming tomorrow.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I got the dates mixed up and I've had no energy to tidy,

0:05:39 > 0:05:41so it's a complete pit.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44Even if it was spotless, she will still find fault.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's a mother-in-law's prerogative.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Ade says she's really meticulous. I'm terrified.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Go down to the market, buy some Nigerian food.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Show her that you respect her traditions.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57It will set you off to a good start.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Yes. That's what I've been doing.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Okra, plantain... She will love it.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK. Thanks. Good plan.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Do we really have to turn reception into a second-hand bike shop?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's for a good cause. Stop being so grumpy.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I'm not.- Mmm...

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Not much(!) What happened to "throwing yourself into your work"?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'm really enjoying it.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Really? Cos you look pretty cheesed off to me.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Well, last night,

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I was studying chess moves and reading Red Wine Weekly.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38The joys of the bachelor kingdom are not to be underestimated.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Erm, what's with the indoor Tour de France?

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Yeah, it's Anthony's idea. Just raising awareness about the race.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Bit over the top, isn't it?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02It's a good cause. I've raised £80 so far.

0:07:02 > 0:07:0480? Not bad.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Don't tell us - you're on 300, right?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09125. But I have a lot of corporate connections I'm sure will be

0:07:09 > 0:07:11happy to contribute to the cause.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14I haven't even started to tap up the Granger Clinic connections yet.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Not that there's anything in it for them, of course.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21A tad cynical. It's simple generosity to a good cause.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Yeah. We should raise a good wedge between the two of us.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27I can think of less arduous ways of getting a wedgie.

0:07:27 > 0:07:28It's just a bit of fun, Al.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Oh, yeah, competitive fundraising's always a great barrel of laughs.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Actually, that's not a bad idea.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36First to a grand?

0:07:37 > 0:07:38All right - you're on.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Ah! Well, you look much happier now.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51So, how are you getting on with the master plan?

0:07:51 > 0:07:54I've made that fried yam thing - dun dun,

0:07:54 > 0:07:57cassava fufu and fritters.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Goodness!- Anna Akinwande?

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Yes?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03ECG...?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh! Of course.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10This way.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12- KNOCK ON DOOR - Enter.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16This arrived for you by courier.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Oh, lovely. I think it's my book on 18th-century French warfare.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Nice, quiet weekend - Napoleon et moi.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Won't you be better off spending it with friends?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- I'm not very good company at the moment.- OK.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Oh, hey! Erm...

0:08:31 > 0:08:37Rob won some raffle tickets for a piano con-cherty thingy tonight.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Concerto? Which one is it?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43Er, it's Rach... What's his chops?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oh, Rachmaninov? Magnifique!

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, I mean, I thought it sounded all right, but he's not interested.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oh, it's a shame to waste the tickets.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm not that bothered. Unless you want to come with...?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Mais bien sur.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Oh! Oh, well, I promise not to talk to you...much.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Which concerto is it?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Er... Do you know, I don't know.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'm going to have to check the tickets.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- Did you miss me? - Oh! You frightened me.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Why aren't you at the lab?

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Who needs a doctorate when I have a beautiful bride at home?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Checking my progress, more like.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29You may be afraid of my mum, but I am not.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31I just wanted to see how you were.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Mmm! Fritters!

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I'll have to make some more now!

0:09:36 > 0:09:40- There's plenty. She won't mind. She'll just appreciate the... - I mind.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43I just want everything to be perfect.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Look at you, being all British and uptight.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well, I am British. So deal with it.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53You've been so grumpy lately.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54I'm just tired.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56And you never let me touch you.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00I do. I just...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04I haven't been feeling myself lately.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Then let me make it all better.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12OK. You can go now.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I've got a lot to do.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17OK, fine.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25Just got another notification from the sponsorship site -

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Nell at Subtle Sutures has just put in 150 for me,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30bringing my total to 275.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Wow! What about you?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Er, still 125.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37But I haven't checked my e-mails for a while.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Ah! Hang on... Another 150.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Which makes us...dead even.- For now.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47OK... How about we make it a bit more exciting?

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Meaning?

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Well, you beat me to a grand by the end of the day

0:10:51 > 0:10:54and I will sponsor you £200.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Raise you 100.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58It's like Casino Royale, except without Daniel Craig.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00300 it is.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02You could put a tally on the wall.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06No, no! I could hold up those score cards from Strictly!

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I'm not sure that's quite the image we're after.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Hey, who said anything about image?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12This is supposed to be just a little bit of fun.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Anna!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh, now, what is this?

0:11:20 > 0:11:22I thought you might like some.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Fritters?!

0:11:23 > 0:11:28Well, you said you liked them, and it would be great to get your expert opinion.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Mmm! It is...

0:11:36 > 0:11:39It is lovely. It is very savoury.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Is that good...or bad? I wasn't sure.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Oh, look, they are better than I could've made.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'm sure that's not true, but thanks anyway.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Ugh...

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Are you all right?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Mm, fine. Excuse me, erm...

0:11:57 > 0:11:58where are the ladies'?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yeah, just down the stairs.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02PHONE RINGS

0:12:04 > 0:12:06What's it for - Michael Buble?

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I wish. Rachmanolo's piano concerto.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Is it your anniversary?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16No, me and Heston are going, actually.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18You and Heston?!

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Yeah! I'm actually quite interested in classical music.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27- Really?- Yeah.- OK. Who wrote Beethoven's 5th Symphony?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Don't tell me, erm...

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Oh, Karen!- What?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- What are you scheming?- Nothing.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37He looked a bit fed up and I thought I'd treat him.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41OK. Well, it looks like the event is exclusive.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44There's not many seats left and they're 40 quid.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45Each?!

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I was getting worried about you. Are you all right?

0:12:53 > 0:12:58Fine, thanks. Just a bit of diarrhoea and stomach cramps.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Oh, dear.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Probably all this anxiety.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08Yeah, probably. But maybe you should go and see Dr Reid again?

0:13:08 > 0:13:09You are looking very pale.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Thank you, but I've got so much to do.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Exactly.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20That is why you do not need to be thinking about all this. Come.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- Hey, haven't seen you all morning! - I've had a lot of home visits.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- What's that? - Oh, it's Anthony's idea.- Oh!

0:13:39 > 0:13:42So different with him at the helm, isn't it?

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Oh, I don't know, I didn't really know Howard. He seemed really nice.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49Yeah, he was. And so sad for Emma.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Yeah, yeah. It must be hard, you know,

0:13:52 > 0:13:54you think you find someone and then...

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Yeah, exactly. Seize the day!

0:13:56 > 0:14:02- What?- Like tonight, for example. I'm going to this piano thing.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04It's not normally my bag but I thought, why not?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06What have I got to lose, except a few quid?

0:14:06 > 0:14:10And what else would you have spent the money on - another pair of shoes?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I could've bought three pairs, actually.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Would you like to come with? You know, my treat.- Me?

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Yeah, it could be a girlie night out, in a sophisticated kind of way.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24It's tempting, but I've got to take Shak to hockey tonight.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Oh, OK. Well, never mind.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28- Next time.- OK!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Like I said, try not to worry.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38We'll talk more when the blood tests come back, all right?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41In the meantime, try not to let your in-laws get you down too much.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- I'll do my best.- All right.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Mr Thorndike, if you'd like to come through?

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Is everything all right?- Yes.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Just probably this hyperthyroid thing. What a time to get ill.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56You will be fine. Forget about the cleaning, just rest.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Trust me, any mother-in-law will be happy to take over.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04But Ade wants her to see I respect their traditions

0:15:04 > 0:15:05and will make a good wife.

0:15:05 > 0:15:11You are already a good wife to consider all these sensitivities.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Many mothers find it difficult to let go of their sons.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18You will work it out between you.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21I'm sure her bark is far worse than her bite.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I hope you're right.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26Mrs Akinwande...

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Oops.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30So much for my homing instincts.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38What do you think?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Just made another 120.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Two mates sponsored me 60 each.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44No, the banner! Good, yeah?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Erm... Eye-catching.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, it's the general idea.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52What the... What's that?

0:15:52 > 0:15:53It's my Strictly banner.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57I am not doing the exercise stuff, but I can contribute by being arty.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59And that's just as valid.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01We wouldn't dream of taking it down, would we, Anthony?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03Erm... Of course not.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Oh, hey, so, 120... Very good.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- What are you up to now? - I'm up to 360.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Impressive. Except I actually came to say that Myers and Johnson have

0:16:16 > 0:16:19just pledged another hundred, so that takes me to 385.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Ooh, neck and neck! It's getting exciting.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23And we haven't even got to the race yet.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Shame we can't have more people in it, though.- Yeah.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Hey! Why don't I throw my hat into the ring?

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Yeah! Cos you're uber-fit

0:16:30 > 0:16:33and I bet you look very fetching in some cycling shorts.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37Because you haven't got a bicycle.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40True. I don't have any of those padded-crotch shorts or

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- fingerless gloves either, but I do have Tonto.- Tonto?

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Yeah, my mum's exercise bike.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48An exercise bike?! I'd like to see that.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50OK. You're on.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Great.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59You better start collecting sponsors soon.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Sponsors? No problem!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12PHONE RINGS

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Hello?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18'Oh, hello, Mrs Akinwande.'

0:17:18 > 0:17:20It is Mrs Tembe from the surgery.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Hello, how are you?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Er, f-fine.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Good.

0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's just that when you were here earlier,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32you left your bag in the ladies'.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Oh... Did I?

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Well, yes, do not worry, it is perfectly safe.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Oh. Right.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'll come and get it later.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Everything all right?

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Er, yes. Yes, I am fine.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I'm a little worried about Mrs Akinwande.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01She was in earlier and she left her bag behind.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04She did not even realise and she was very abrupt on the phone.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, she's got a lot going on, hasn't she - family stuff?

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Yes, but she did not sound like her usual self.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13And she was very unfocused and confused when she left earlier.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16No, something is not quite right.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17What are those?

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Oh...cassava fritters.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22She made them. Please help yourself.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Oh...

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Mmm.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Mmm...

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Interesting.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34They are not usually that sour.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37I did not want to tell her. She's tried so hard.

0:18:37 > 0:18:42Mmm. Well, if she's well enough to make fritters,

0:18:42 > 0:18:45she can't be that bad, can she? Urgh...

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Listen, I'm not going to be home tonight.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00I'm going with Heston to this piano thing, so...

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Oh, Rob. Thank you very much for the tickets...and the loan of your wife.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Really looking forward to it.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Me, too.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Bye!

0:19:08 > 0:19:11# La la! La la la la! #

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Ooh, get you, Pavarotti!

0:19:13 > 0:19:15# La la la la laaaa! #

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh. Hello.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31Hello. I hope you do not mind. I was on my way to a meeting.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- I thought I would bring you your bag.- The bag!

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Brill.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41The-the... The fritter was lovely.

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Top.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Did you use sweet or bitter cassava?

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Um, a mixture, cos they can be a bit sickly.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54Yes... Usually it is made with sweet.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Bleurgh!

0:19:56 > 0:19:58SHE LAUGHS

0:19:58 > 0:20:00And you are sure that you prepared it properly?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Course I did.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I'm not stupid!

0:20:05 > 0:20:09I have been making cassava since I met Ade, and he loves it.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11He says it's just as good as his mum's... Better.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Are you sure you are all right? You seem very agitated.

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Duh!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18The Eagle is about to land,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21so, if you don't mind, I've got a few things to do. OK?

0:20:21 > 0:20:23SHE LAUGHS MANIACALLY

0:20:23 > 0:20:25How am I supposed to get anything done

0:20:25 > 0:20:29if everyone is stalking me all the time?!

0:20:29 > 0:20:30SOBBING

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Mrs Akinwande...

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Get lost! I'm busy.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Yes. Yes, I am sure.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I was just wondering whether you could...

0:20:44 > 0:20:47well, you could give me the recipe for the fritter.

0:20:47 > 0:20:48It was very inventive.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Half bitter, half sweet.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54I've tried it with bitter. But it's just... Yeurgh!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57I would love to talk to you about Nigerian cooking.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Perhaps we could cook something together...

0:21:04 > 0:21:07If you have a moment.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Oh, yeah. Yeah.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11I'm brilliant at this stuff.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Don't know what all the fuss is about.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14Hmm.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Oh, good gracious.- Do come in.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20All right.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24That's babozee.

0:21:27 > 0:21:28Nigerian roast yam.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Mmm.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Fufu... It's a bit meh, actually,

0:21:32 > 0:21:34but I eat it for Ade's sake.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Oh, it is... Well, it is all beautifully made.

0:21:38 > 0:21:39But it is very sour.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41SHE SIGHS

0:21:41 > 0:21:42See what I mean?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45How long did you soak the cassava for?

0:21:47 > 0:21:5010...15...sometimes.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51I used to do more, but...

0:21:51 > 0:21:56Wait. It needs at least half an hour and then boiled thoroughly,

0:21:56 > 0:21:58and preferably overnight.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00- And for the fufu, for three days... - SHE RETCHES

0:22:00 > 0:22:02All right. All right...

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Oh, my goodness, you are burning up!

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Come. Come and sit down.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10SHE RETCHES

0:22:10 > 0:22:12PHONE KEYPAD BEEPS

0:22:13 > 0:22:18Ah, Dr Reid. I am with Anna Akinwande.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Have you finished with your last patient?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Can you come over quickly, please?

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I think she may have cassava poisoning.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Right.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Hey, not sneaking off without giving us the scores on the doors, are you?

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- He's legging it cos he's getting trounced.- I am not.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Right, then. What are you on, Granger?

0:22:38 > 0:22:42Little old me? A mere £785.

0:22:42 > 0:22:43Get in!

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Ooh, check out the poker face on Harker.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48Come on. Spit it out, Anthony.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50OK.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51It's...

0:22:51 > 0:22:551,025 of your earth pounds!

0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Whoa, smashed it! - Yep. Show me the money!

0:22:58 > 0:22:59300, please.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01All right, all right. But it's not over yet.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04The race isn't till Tuesday.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05I've been meaning to say,

0:23:05 > 0:23:07you don't have to drag your poor mum's old bike in.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08I don't think it's needed.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- But I've raised nearly 100 quid. - Not much to worry about, then.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14It means a lot to my mates, what with their uni debts.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Besides, I was looking forward to riding Tonto bareback.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Ooh, friction burns, dude.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21I'm only kidding. I might wear the mask and the cape, though.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Good. Love to stay and chat. See you all Monday.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26With or without the Lone Ranger outfit.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29You'd better spend the weekend training, then, Sid.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Cycling is a very particular discipline.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Thought the horse was called Silver.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47When I arrived, she was sweating and babbling and very irritable.

0:23:47 > 0:23:52Then she started retching and saying that her eyes were hurting.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56I haven't seen cyanide poisoning before, but you may be right.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57I should have noticed something?

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Please don't blame yourself. It's easily confused.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03It appears she has not been preparing the cassava properly.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06It contains a cyanide compound

0:24:06 > 0:24:08that is only broken down

0:24:08 > 0:24:11when it is completely soaked and boiled thoroughly.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13But she does, doesn't she?

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yeah, well, not enough.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Has she been eating a lot of it recently?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19She's been practising a load of dishes

0:24:19 > 0:24:22in the past few days for my mother.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Well, if the dishes weren't prepared thoroughly enough,

0:24:25 > 0:24:27as the previous ones, then,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29well, they would have contained more cyanide,

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and that would cause the nausea, the confusion...

0:24:32 > 0:24:34And the bizarre behaviour.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I have seen it before.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Rubbing the wall... Well, not exactly that, but...

0:24:38 > 0:24:41It is often confused with a condition called hyperthyroidism,

0:24:41 > 0:24:43but luckily Mrs Tembe seems to have spotted it.

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Sometimes it can cause convulsions, paralysis, sometimes even death.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52I should have noticed something.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55I know it's toxic. And we talked about it.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I should have taken more care.

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Have you been feeling ill?

0:24:58 > 0:25:01No. I didn't eat nearly as much as she did.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03Right, OK, I need to call St Phil's.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08You've told me to be more careful.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10But I just... I got so tired...

0:25:10 > 0:25:13No, I obviously wasn't clear enough.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16And I shouldn't have put so much pressure on you.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Thank you for taking care of her.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Cassava poisoning, eh?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Something to tell the children.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28You see, that is better.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Has everyone gone?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yeah, finally. Been a bit of a bonkers day.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43Yeah, so I see. At least the concert will be nice.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- I'm not going to go.- Really? Why?

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Rob's put his foot down and I'd feel a bit of a 'nana going on my own.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52No, you wouldn't. That music, you'll get wrapped up in it.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Nah. I'm just going to stick out like a sore thumb.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Aw. That's a shame.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00Hopefully you'll get your money back on the tickets.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02No, I've tried. Non-refundable.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Oh...

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Oh, well. Never mind.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Perfect. 80 flippin' quid's worth of perfect(!)

0:26:15 > 0:26:17Are you OK?

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Yeah. Fine.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Do you know what, it seems a shame to waste that ticket, so...

0:26:23 > 0:26:25- I'll come.- Really?!

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Ha! What about Shak?!

0:26:27 > 0:26:30Oh, he can get a cab.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31So, what time does it start?

0:26:31 > 0:26:347.30. But I'm going to be a bit pushed getting out of here,

0:26:34 > 0:26:36so if you go to the box office, pick up your ticket

0:26:36 > 0:26:38- and just go straight in. - Yeah, great.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Look forward to our girlie night out.

0:26:40 > 0:26:45Oh, yes. Um...I was thinking that I might glam up a bit, you know...

0:26:45 > 0:26:49Right. Glam it is, then. I'll see you in there.

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Look, see these bruises?

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Oh, I didn't do that!

0:27:00 > 0:27:02Might look doddery, but he's handy with his fists.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Just forget about sucking up to management for one night

0:27:05 > 0:27:06and have some fun.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11People like Daryl, they don't change.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13What are you doing?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15I'm just checking for signs of concussion.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17I wasn't hit on my head.
