0:00:27 > 0:00:28PHONE RINGS

0:00:28 > 0:00:31The Mill Health Centre. How may I help you?

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Oh.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41Er...yes. Er...Thursday at 11:00.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Yes. Yes, with Dr Carmichael.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49No, I am sorry. I am sorry, it is, er...it is, er...Dr Clay.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Yes. Right, we will see you then. Goodbye.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55I'd like a quick chat.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56Oh, right. Er...

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Not now. You've obviously got your hands full.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01When the rush is over.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Do you work at the surgery?

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Er...yeah, but we're not open for a couple of minutes.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Lauren's got a throat infection.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13- She shouldn't have to wait around in the cold.- Ooo!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17We need an appointment ASAP. We're both registered here.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Oh, well, come in and wait and I'll be with you in a second.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Morning! - Ooo, hello. Did you see her bag?

0:01:26 > 0:01:28No. Should I be impressed?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31- They're worth thousands! Her dad must be loaded!- Hm.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Um...yeah, yeah. It's quite nice.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41Oolong is a bit of an acquired taste. Huh!

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Listen, um...I know we've both got the afternoon off,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47so, would you like to have lunch together?

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- I'd love to.- Yeah? You can come to mine.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Well, you haven't seen it and I'd like you to.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Spend the afternoon together.- Yeah.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yeah, we can.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59- Hello!- Morning.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03What is that smell?

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Heston's made me some Oolong.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08And it's not even 9:00.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'll, er...see you later. Oh!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Um...Lauren, are you happy...? - 'Course she is.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Oh, yeah, yeah. It's fine.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Right. Well, for your throat,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I'd recommend lots of fluids and plenty of rest.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20That will work wonders.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22But there's not much else I can do, I'm afraid.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Thing is, Mark's taking me to a conference this weekend.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's going to be really useful for my course.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Plus, it's in Miami.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Florida sunshine, that's what you need.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33So if you can just prescribe some antibiotics.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Sorry, Mark, it's such bad timing. - Don't be daft, it's not your fault.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38I'm reluctant to prescribe antibiotics.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Why? She's had them before. She's not allergic.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43If it's a viral infection. They're not appropriate.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Over-the-counter remedies, take it easy for a few days.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48That'll be just as effective.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I really need to be well by Friday.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52With antibiotics, there'd be no guarantee.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55They're overprescribed. You're better off saving them

0:02:55 > 0:02:58in case you get a more serious infection down the line.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00What d'you think? What do you want me to do?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Sorry, Lauren, could I speak to you alone for a minute?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05You don't mind, do you?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Of course, ladies. I'll wait outside.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Thanks, babe.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17OK, Patrick, it's a deal. KNOCK AT DOOR

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Yeah! HE LAUGHS

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Yeah. Mm-hm.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Great stuff. Yep.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yep. OK. Bye.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Mrs Tembe. Take a seat. - Right. Thank you.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45Right. As you know, I've been evaluating all the members of staff,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48thinking about how they fit in as part of a team.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52And I don't think your job is the perfect fit for you.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56So I want to give you an enhanced role.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Something you can really get your teeth into.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Oh, well, I would be very glad of more responsibility.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07Good. There is a serious problem with morale throughout the NHS.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08I can't do anything to change that,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10but I can do something about it at this practice.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13And I think you are the ideal woman to help me.

0:04:13 > 0:04:19Yes. Yes, I think I have the skills to offer those services.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21So, what did you have in mind?

0:04:26 > 0:04:29This is a staff suggestion box.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31And I'm putting you in charge of it.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36Mark's going to be gutted if I can't make it to the conference.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well, it can't be helped, I'm afraid.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Is everything all right with you and Mark?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, of course it is.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Look, he's really generous. I just owe him a lot.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47Really? How so?

0:04:47 > 0:04:52I'm doing Business Studies at uni and he's just taught me so much.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54That's partly what this trip to Florida is about.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Networking, making contacts.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59He's also been mentoring me one-on-one.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Lauren, if you're having an affair with your lecturer,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- that is none of my business... - You think Mark's my lecturer?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07That's hilarious!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10No. No, Mark's my sugar daddy.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16Er...Mr Harker, I do not want to discourage you,

0:05:16 > 0:05:22but, er...well, sometimes suggestion boxes do not have a good reputation.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Sometimes people do not have any suggestions,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28or when they do have good suggestions,

0:05:28 > 0:05:29they are ignored by the management.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31But that's not going to happen here.

0:05:31 > 0:05:33I care passionately about this practice.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I want it to be the best it can be. - Yeah, I know.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38And I can't do that on my own.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I need other people's ideas and creativity.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43I'm the new boy. You've all been here longer than I have.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46You know the problems and the solutions and I want to hear them.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50A suggestion box is a great way to get people thinking, coming up with ideas.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52And I want someone senior in charge of this.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55The staff will know their suggestions aren't being ignored

0:05:55 > 0:05:59because you'll be there to champion them. Yes?

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Yes. I will do my very best. You can count on me.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14We met through an agency. It matches sugar daddies with sugar babies.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Everyone gets checked out, criminal records, the lot.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19That's how I knew Mark was legit.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Except that he wants to see women 30 years his junior. - He's a nice man.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26I mean, I know he can be pushy sometimes, but that's just his way.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28He's incredibly intelligent,

0:06:28 > 0:06:31funny, he's interested in everything.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Plus he's loaded.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36He's a real dotcom millionaire. The real deal.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Right. How do you arrange things?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oh. We...we have a contract.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46As soon as we met, we worked it out together.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Like an arranged marriage?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Yeah, but fun. - LAUREN CHUCKLES

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Do you not want a real relationship with someone your own age?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Oh, God, no. I don't have time.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58And anyway, I've tried that.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Boring, immature, spotty lads

0:07:00 > 0:07:04who can't handle the fact that I'm more intelligent than they are.

0:07:04 > 0:07:05Mark just gets me.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08And anyway, he doesn't want a relationship either.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Just company and fun.- Hm.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13You think I'm being exploited, don't you?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Look, that's sweet, but I'm not.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16I'm just being practical.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm paying my way through uni.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Well, there's other ways to do that. I mean, bar work.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Yeah, and that's great if you want

0:07:24 > 0:07:27sweaty blokes staring down your top for minimum wage.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30What do your family make of all this?

0:07:30 > 0:07:31There's just my mum.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34And when I graduate uni with a first, which I will,

0:07:34 > 0:07:37she's going to be really proud of me.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38She doesn't know.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Look, she wouldn't understand. She brought me up on her own

0:07:43 > 0:07:47and she's done every rubbish job there is for rubbish money.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50She's the one being exploited. I can't live like that.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Look, thank you for your concern, OK,

0:07:53 > 0:07:56but I really think you should be more worried about Mark.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Really? Do you think he's ill?

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Something's up.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Of course, typical bloke, he won't go to the doctor himself.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Maybe you could... - Oh, that's up to Mark.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10But if you're really worried, maybe we could...

0:08:10 > 0:08:12INCOMING TEXT

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Amazing! He's managed to move the flights to a day later so I can recover.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20- See? I told you he was a gem.- Hm!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Sugar daddies? I thought they went out of fashion years ago.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32It seems they're making a comeback.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34If she wants to take some old rich man to the cleaners,

0:08:34 > 0:08:35then good luck to her, I say.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Oh, I think he's getting plenty out of it.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Well, then, no-one's being hurt. What's the problem?

0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's just... Women shouldn't have to do this any more!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45It's like nothing's changed since the time of Jane Austen.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48What, there were sugar daddies back then, as well?

0:08:48 > 0:08:49No, just men in wet shirts.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Ah, now, that wasn't strictly in the novel.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Who cares?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55My point is, in those days,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59you had to be young and pretty to get a rich husband TO survive.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03But that was 200 years ago and nothing's changed.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Women are still having to sell their youth and beauty to older men.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09And what if you're not young, or symmetrical? What do you do then?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- If she's choosing to do this... - Ah, but you don't choose, do you?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I mean, you only do that if you're poor.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- You wouldn't get rich girls doing it.- Exactly!

0:09:18 > 0:09:22And this girl, you know, I think she actually has feelings for him.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25She denies it, of course, but she really does care.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28But she's selling herself to someone for money.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30If he's treating her well, then she's lucky.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Now, are we going to get some food? I'm starving!- Sorry.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37I wish I'd thought of it while I was training.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- I wouldn't be so skint now. - You don't mean that!

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Mmm...

0:09:41 > 0:09:43I think you're being very polite.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44No, it's lovely. Very homely.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Yeah, complete with Shak's socks. He just leaves them everywhere.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Nice bedroom. You know, it's a good size

0:09:51 > 0:09:56with good, um...proportions and storage. I-I like the, er...

0:09:56 > 0:09:58So, what are we having?

0:09:58 > 0:09:59Right, er...it's a surprise.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03I've combined your love of learning with your love of food.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Oh, lead on!- Right.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, I'm just going to put these in the laundry.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10HE SIGHS

0:10:13 > 0:10:16I know Mrs Brett is lonely, but it's a waste of time and money

0:10:16 > 0:10:18giving her appointments. There is nothing wrong with her.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22No, it's not. She comes in and talks to you about her cats,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24you listen, she feels better. Job's a good 'un.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28The staff in this place are useless. Jobsworths!

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Come on, Mark, it doesn't matter. - It does matter.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Why would you want to come here, anyway?

0:10:32 > 0:10:36We might as well have gone to some awful STUDENT canteen!

0:10:36 > 0:10:37It wouldn't be any worse.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40I've changed my mind. I wouldn't go out with him if you paid me!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Strange. He wasn't like that earlier.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Niamh?- What?- I need the bathroom.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Oh, my God, what's wrong with you?! - OK. Can you get my...?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's OK, it's all right. Just take it easy, take it easy.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59This is Mr Harker's new initiative. A suggestion box.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02What kind of suggestions?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Well, anything that improves the working environment,

0:11:05 > 0:11:06or even staff morale.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Yeah, I've got a suggestion. Let's not have a suggestion box.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- HE LAUGHS - I think it's a good idea.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Everyone will fill out one of these.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18They will post it in the box.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19The box will remain locked.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I will be in charge of the key. - Why are you keeping it locked?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's not like you're going to be holding military secrets.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29The box will remain locked because that is how Mr Harker wants it done.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31PHONE RINGS

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Yeah, so using warm water and some oil.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- That makes a real difference to the dough.- Right.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47We'd better not make them too hot

0:11:47 > 0:11:50after your last experience with the curry.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52You're not going to let me forget that, are you?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Oh, no. - SHE CHUCKLES

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Ah, right, come here, you.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Open your mouth.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Mm.- Nice?- Mm!

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Why d'you close your eyes?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06It helps me concentrate on the food. Try it.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10There we go.

0:12:13 > 0:12:14- Mm!- Mm.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Yeah! Yeah, it makes it more, um...intense.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21Right, back to the dough.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I don't think it needs any more kneading.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Right. The next bit needs a much more delicate touch.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Ah, well, I have a very delicate touch...so I'm told.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Ooo, Mrs Tembe, why don't we have a prize for the best suggestion?

0:12:37 > 0:12:38You know, give people an incentive.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41That is an excellent idea. Write it down.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Um...who decides whose is the winning suggestion?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- That would be me. - You know what drives me mad?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49People leave stuff in here and it goes off. I mean, look at that.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Tuna sandwich. Cottage cheese! 16th December!

0:12:55 > 0:12:58How about massages for staff? You know, it's good to relieve stress.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00HE CHUCKLES

0:13:00 > 0:13:04We do have all that green space outside, we should really use it.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06We could do, like, a landscaping project.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07Turn it into a garden for everyone.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Get some volunteers. I'd do it. And then we could grow herbs!

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Huh! Grow herbs?- Yeah!

0:13:12 > 0:13:17I'm sure herbal remedies would prove very popular down at the campus.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Many plants have proven medicinal benefits.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21They do, Mrs Tembe.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25There was that recipe from the Dark Ages that help treat MRSA, remember?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27What are you talking about?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29The suggestion box. Mr Harker's initiative.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Ah, excellent. I'm going around to Valerie's after work.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- I'm sure she'll be full of ideas. - How is she?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Ah, not good.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40The last few days have really taken it out of her.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41- Well, send her our regards.- Will do.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45How about a benevolent fund for staff?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I still think it's a waste of time.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Dr Haskey, you are always so good at defining problems.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56I am sure you can come up with some excellent solutions.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58I cannot wait to see what you come up with(!)

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Have you had symptoms like this before?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Yeah. Tremors, clumsiness,

0:14:12 > 0:14:15problems with balance, all those.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17And there've been incidents.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not as public as today, but...

0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm going to refer you to a specialist.

0:14:22 > 0:14:23They will run a series of tests

0:14:23 > 0:14:26and then we should know a lot more about what's going on.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31Parkinson's. I've had all the tests. That was the diagnosis.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36I'm so sorry.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- When were you diagnosed? - Fortnight ago.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43You know it's bad when they start being all sympathetic.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46They should have referred you to a follow-up appointment.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's really important that you monitor this.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Yeah, yeah, they're telling me to come back. I haven't had time.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55I've been working flat-out the last few weeks,

0:14:55 > 0:14:57and there's the conference.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59This really needs to take priority.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01I want to go to Florida.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I've earned that.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Do some networking, have some fun while I still can.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I don't have time for all this.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10This isn't something that you can bargain with.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's not a deal you can make.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16I've barely been ill a day in my life.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20I keep in shape, I-I gave up the fags years ago.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I go to the gym, I swim.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Parkinson's isn't about lifestyle.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30And it'll get worse. And there's no cure.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35There's a lot of research.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39And a lot of treatments that can really help with the effects of the condition.

0:15:39 > 0:15:40You know what I hate?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Losing control of everything.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48My emotions.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Having tantrums, like a child.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Everyone in that restaurant must've thought I was obnoxious.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58Look, I'm not a business guru,

0:15:58 > 0:16:02but I would guess that a lot of it is creative thinking

0:16:02 > 0:16:04and problem-solving.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08You have those skills. Why not apply them here?

0:16:09 > 0:16:12Find out all you can about your condition, what help is available.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14The more information you have...

0:16:15 > 0:16:17..the more control you have.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20I suppose.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22How do I tell Lauren?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well, you don't have to.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27She'd probably run a mile if she knew.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28Um...not necessarily.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33I mean, I don't know, but she did seem to genuinely care.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37She was really concerned. But...it's your decision.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Let's bring her in before I lose my nerve.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43OK.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- I've made a complete mess of your kitchen.- We both have.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Do you remember when you and the kids made pasta at yours?

0:16:49 > 0:16:51It was like a bombsite.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54So we've got a few more to make and then we can fry them.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Right. What shall we do while they cook?

0:16:58 > 0:16:59I can think of something.

0:17:01 > 0:17:02Come here.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Shak? You're home early.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Do you have the afternoon off school?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17No, it's half-term.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20We were playing football, but it got cold, so...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Why don't you get in the shower and get warm?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I'm going to make some snacks up and some tea

0:17:24 > 0:17:27and then we can all play cards together.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29That'll be nice, won't it?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Parkinson's?- Yes.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42And it's progressive? It's going to get worse?

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Yes. But every case is different.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50I would suggest that you both go back to Mark's specialist,

0:17:50 > 0:17:54discuss it with her, then you'll know better what you're dealing with.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I know I should've told you before.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59You've a right to know.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02We'll still go to Florida. Probably do us both good.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04And after that...

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Well, we can think about the future.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12I know it's been a shock for both of us.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15It's going to mean some big changes.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16But I'm not going to let it beat me.

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I can cope with anything if you're with me.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25And you will be...won't you, Lauren?

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Lauren?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Look, forget our arrangement.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34You can move in, we can live together.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Hang on. That was never the deal!

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Mark, when we met, you told me you became a sugar daddy

0:18:40 > 0:18:42because you didn't want a relationship.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44You didn't want a girlfriend or another wife.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Forget that.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I love you.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Where's all this coming from?!

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Mark, you...you pay me.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00I like you, I do, and...and we get on and I'm grateful,

0:19:00 > 0:19:03but I don't love you.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And you don't love me.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09You're just looking for someone to look after you. Sorry, I can't.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18What are you doing here, man?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Your mother invited me for lunch.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Shak, you know me.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Yeah, I thought I did.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yes, you do, you stayed at my house.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28Yeah, but we're not in your house now.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32And just because you put us up, that doesn't mean we owe you anything.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34SHE doesn't owe you anything.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38I'm not trying to assert some droit du seigneur. I don't want anything.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- So, what is it, then, with you and her?- Huh!

0:19:41 > 0:19:44- You think it's funny?!- No, I wasn't expecting to be interrogated.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47I-I... My intentions are honourable.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I can provide you with bona fides...

0:19:49 > 0:19:54Stop doing that! You're always doing that. Using long words...

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- It's Latin.- Whatever!

0:19:56 > 0:19:58HESTON SIGHS

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Your mother and I are friends.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Sounds like more than friends to me.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I respect her and she respects me

0:20:04 > 0:20:08and it's been quite a long time since either of us have...

0:20:08 > 0:20:12Look, no offence, yeah, but you're old, man.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Well, even men of my advanced...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18You're doing it again, you're being pompous!

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Look, I know it must be very difficult

0:20:22 > 0:20:24thinking of your mother with another partner,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27but I don't want to hurt her.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32I'm not going to force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36SHAK SIGHS

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Yeah. OK, all right.

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Do you want to ask anything else?

0:20:54 > 0:20:58You'll have to rally your own support network. What about family?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Them? Bunch of parasites.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02They only get in touch when they want money.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Well, you've been married...

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Ex wives? They'd laugh in my face.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Right. What about friends?

0:21:09 > 0:21:12The only person I've relied on is me.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15I like it that way. It's simpler.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17That's going to have to change.

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Yeah.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Like everything else.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I've got an appointment with someone in Harley Street.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- He's meant to be one of the best. No offence.- None taken.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33You still here?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, I went back and got this.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39It's the ticket, hotel confirmation, everything.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41You'll need it if you want to get a refund.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48Did you really expect me to stay?

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Look, I'd be rubbish at looking after you.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Mopping brows and that, it's just not me.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Fair enough.- You'll be all right, you've got money.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00You can afford all the nurses you want, the best medical care.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02OK, I get it.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04I'll give you back this month's allowance.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Don't be silly.- No, no, I have to.

0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'm not taking anything more from you. It wouldn't be right.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11There you go.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I hope it all works out for you. And enjoy Florida, OK?

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Take care.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43We used to play cards on family holidays.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Yeah. Back in the 19th century.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Oi!- We didn't have Wi-Fi or gadgets.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51A book and a pack of cards and we were happy.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Aw! We only play cards because I beat him at computer games.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Ha! Don't get too confident.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Are you in, or out?

0:22:59 > 0:23:00I'm out.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Yes! Winner takes the last samosa. - Yay!

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Mm!- Not bad for an old man.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10What gives you the right to interfere?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Trying to guilt-trip me into staying with him.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14That's not what I was trying to do at all!

0:23:14 > 0:23:17You tried to make him think I was in love with him!

0:23:17 > 0:23:22No! I...I thought you cared about him. You behaved like you did.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Oh. You wanted me to check him out

0:23:26 > 0:23:29to see if he could keep up his end of the bargain.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31I had a right. That's just business.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34And you saw what he was like when I wasn't at 100%.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36If it was the other way around,

0:23:36 > 0:23:39if I'd just been diagnosed with a serious illness,

0:23:39 > 0:23:40do you think he'd look after me?

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Look, would you do it, give up your life?

0:23:46 > 0:23:49If I loved someone, yes.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53But you don't love him and I wouldn't want you to do that.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56You'd end up resenting each other and you'd both be miserable.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59You keep talking about love. You still don't get it.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03If I was less pretty, or a bit overweight,

0:24:03 > 0:24:05he wouldn't have looked at me.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08He wants the best and so do I. That's how this works.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10That's what I'm selling.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13So, what now? You just get yourself another sugar daddy?

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Look, I have to.

0:24:16 > 0:24:17You can't do this forever.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Yeah, and I don't plan to.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22When I graduate, I'm going to start my own business.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24I aim to be a millionaire before I'm 30.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27I mean, look, I'm not saying everyone should do that.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30And you be caring and sharing if you want.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32I'm just doing what works for me.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Sounds like you've got it all figured out.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah. Like I said,

0:24:36 > 0:24:40you don't have to worry about me, I can look after myself.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41I can see that.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48SHE EXHALES

0:24:48 > 0:24:50I've had a really nice day.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51So have I.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54You know, we should do it again soon.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56But without the kids. Just us.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Well, we should go away for the weekend, the two of us.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02My treat. We could go walking, relax.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Spend some time together.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08It's, um...difficult because the kids have got their exams coming

0:25:08 > 0:25:09and, you know, with work and things.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11It was just an idea.

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Yeah.

0:25:12 > 0:25:17I do want things to progress, you know, it's just a bit...

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Too much.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Um...I should be going.

0:25:25 > 0:25:26- See you tomorrow.- Yeah.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35I have got some other suggestions,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37I just want to think about them first, do some research.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39See, told you it was a good idea.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41It was Mrs Tembe, she made it work.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42Hm.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Don't worry, you get off. I'll lock up.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Right, well, I will see you in the morning.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10The key to the suggestion box is missing.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13The suggestion box.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16That management sop to worker participation.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18Good to know you got a cracker looking out for you.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21There's some right dodgy whatsits living around here.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yeah, clear off!

0:27:23 > 0:27:25Oh, Mrs Tembe!

0:27:25 > 0:27:28You really don't understand how to play the game, do you?
