0:00:37 > 0:00:38Anthony Harker.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Thank you!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Yes, that's fantastic.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Absolutely perfect.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Thank you, yes.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Very grateful.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56Morning!

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Ask me what day it is!

0:00:58 > 0:00:59ALL: What day is it?

0:00:59 > 0:01:01It's my wedding anniversary!

0:01:01 > 0:01:03- Wow!- 26 years!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05- That is a big deal. - It is!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07So what was that thing we all went to last year?

0:01:07 > 0:01:09That was renewing our vows.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Karen has two anniversaries a year!

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Yeah, that's right, I do!

0:01:12 > 0:01:15So you've really been married for 26 years?!

0:01:15 > 0:01:17I think that's wonderful.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Thank you, Valerie.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Yeah, it is.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Yeah, congratulations.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23He swept me off my feet.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25I bet you looked beautiful.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27Actually, I don't remember it.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28Oh, no, you wouldn't.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30No.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Still 26 years.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34It doesn't really count though, does it?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Not if you don't remember most of it.- Of course it does!

0:01:37 > 0:01:41It just makes it more mysterious and romantic.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Imagine, two hearts, beating as one for 26 years.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48You are a lucky woman, Karen.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50I know.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51I won't have that.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Not now.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55I mean, even if I met the man of my dreams today,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59I would be lucky to get 26 days before the cancer gets me.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Oh, don't say that.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02You never know, love might be just around the corner.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Do you know what I got for Valentine's Day this year?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Possibly my last ever Valentine's Day?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Cheer up, Ladies!

0:02:12 > 0:02:14You never know what the day might bring!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27You'll never guess.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Probably not.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29I need your help.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32You and Valerie, you have kissed and made up?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34What?!

0:02:34 > 0:02:37After the malpractice thing. You're friends again, yes?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Colleagues. I'd describe us as colleagues.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44I've got this thing planned for her. Thought you might be able to help.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45I highly doubt it.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Morning.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Something I said?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52It's Valerie. She's just a bit sad.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Should we do something?

0:02:55 > 0:02:56What can we do?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58A party?

0:02:58 > 0:02:59A gathering. Maybe Sunday?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01I can't. I'm busy.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04What about you?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Rob's whisking me away somewhere romantic.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08So that leaves...

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Like that's going to cheer her up!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Karen!- No, Karen's right, sorry.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Jimmi! Have you got your camera with you?- Yeah, it's in my room.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Excellent. I might need you later. - Why? What's happening?- Wait and see.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24At least someone's happy.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Why am I her best friend all of a sudden?

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Because she really likes you. She's been like this all morning.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Valerie?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Look at the state of you! Come on.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Smarten yourself up a bit! A smile wouldn't go amiss.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42A bit of lipstick, a touch of glamour. What do you think?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I think you're being really insult...

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, I think you need to sort out those invoices in my office.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Actually, Anthony, I'm not feeling very well today.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53So, I'm just going to finish this and then I'm going to go home.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Nonsense!

0:03:54 > 0:03:56You can't go home! I need you here.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Al?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Yeah, come on, Valerie, power through.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01You'll feel fine in a bit.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04If she wants to go home, she can go home.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05You told me that.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Yes, but...

0:04:06 > 0:04:09the invoices.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12But you said if I'm not ever feeling well enough, that I should go home.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13I had to go home.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Well not today. Come on.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I've been sworn to secrecy.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Ricky Delaine.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Anthony knows someone who knows someone

0:04:29 > 0:04:32who knows someone who is Ricky Delaine.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35He's this really cheesy musical theatre superstar.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36I know who he is.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38He is on Valerie's bucket list.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40And the man is coming here.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Today.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43- Ricky Delaine?- Yeah.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46I'd have thought that Anthony would have had more sense.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- It's brilliant! - Is it?

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Are you sure he's not winding you up?

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Maybe he is.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52That's fantastic.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Fantastic? We're talking about Ricky Delaine.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Do you know anything about the man, or is this just a general prejudice?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- I'm allowed to be prejudiced. - Have you heard him sing?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03The fact that he is on Valerie's bucket list tells me

0:05:03 > 0:05:05all I need to know about Delaine.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Saw him on Midlands Today last week.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10He came across really well. He was very down-to-earth.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12I can't remember what he was promoting...

0:05:12 > 0:05:14He would have been promoting his latest tour.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Or some album - Ricky Delaine Sings Other People's Songs,

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Just Not As Well!- Maybe.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24But they were asking him how he was unwinding,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26with his hectic schedule.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Go on, enlighten me.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Battlestar Galactica.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32No way, BSG?

0:05:32 > 0:05:34"The greatest series since Star Trek,"

0:05:34 > 0:05:36which is, I believe, how you described it to me.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38The original Star Trek.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40"The greatest series since the original Star Trek"!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42So he can't be that bad, can he?

0:05:58 > 0:06:01But it's something happening here, this afternoon?

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Niamh?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Niamh?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Hi. I'm Ricky... - Ricky Delaine.- Yes.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Ricky Delaine!

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Hi, I'm Niamh.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Hello, Niamh.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- I'm here... - This is Karen. So...

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Hello, Karen.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Ricky... Mr Ri...

0:06:25 > 0:06:26Mr Ricky...

0:06:26 > 0:06:28SHE MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Just Ricky.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- BARELY AUDIBLE:- Ricky.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34How can I help?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- He's here!- What?

0:06:38 > 0:06:39He's here, in Reception.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Great! How exciting! Let me know when he's gone.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Darren Sharman?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54LOUD CHATTERING

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Darren Sharman for Dr Haskey?

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- DARREN SHARMAN! - That's me.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05This way, Mr Sharman, and we can avoid the stage door groupies(!)

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Yes, but...

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Ricky, would you like to come through to the staffroom?- Why not?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Would you like to make some space for Ricky there? OK.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15No, no, not you. You stay there...

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Just to the left here.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Al! Dr Haskey!

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I've got Ricky Delaine in and I don't know what to do.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Maybe you can get his autograph?- No.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Or you could get him to sing us a song?- Al!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Fetch Anthony. It was his idea.

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Excuse me. 12:30. Barry Grantham.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36If you could spare the time.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I can't just leave him there.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41He'll be fine in the staffroom. Come on.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Mam's is his biggest fan. She's not going to believe this!

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- She's not the only one. - Hello!! Am I actually invisible?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Just one second.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50No! Get back out of there.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- I've got to call her. - Who?- Mam.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56What's he actually doing here?

0:07:56 > 0:07:59He's here to see Valerie. He's on her Bucket List, remember?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03I could be dying over here.

0:08:03 > 0:08:04Here now!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15You have a medical appointment. You can call her later.

0:08:20 > 0:08:21It's my phone!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yeah, and it's my time you're wasting.

0:08:24 > 0:08:25I could get a selfie with him.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Or you could go into the consulting room.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Mam won't believe me unless I get a...

0:08:28 > 0:08:30The consulting room, if you please.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Thank you very much.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Anthony! In Reception! It's...

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes! Thank you.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45That'll be Mr...Singer.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50The very famous Mr Singer.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51I've never heard of him.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, I'd better not keep him waiting.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Valerie, if you could just keep sorting those receipts.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Anthony, sorry, I don't mean to be difficult,

0:09:01 > 0:09:03but all I can say is you've changed your tune.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06I am an administrative secretary, not a dogsbody.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10You promised me more flexible working.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12I can't say I'm feeling very flexible right now!

0:09:12 > 0:09:13I just need you to finish this one task,

0:09:13 > 0:09:16and then I've got something better for you shortly.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17(Much better!)

0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'm an administrative secretary!

0:09:24 > 0:09:26- It's not for me. - No?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Mam's got all his albums.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Not really your thing though?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33No. Well, he's more for the ladies, really.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Yeah.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38I take her to see his shows and things, you know.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- In the West End?- Oh, aye, he's done all the big shows.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44He played the Symphony Hall last year. And on tour? Awesome!

0:09:44 > 0:09:46You went with your mum?

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Well...someone has to take her.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Like I say, Mam's a big fan.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03Hello.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Any chance of a cup of tea?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Yes! Tea! Yes, of course, er...

0:10:13 > 0:10:14- Garibaldi?- Lovely!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Mr Delaine! Thank you so much for this.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20It's not a problem, I was in the area.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21So you must be Tony?

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Anthony. Anthony Harker, the practice manager.

0:10:24 > 0:10:25You've met Karen, our receptionist.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- You gave me quite a shock. - And this is Doctor Clay.- Jimmi.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Jimmi's our resident photographer.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I thought we might get a few snaps. - Yes, of course. And Valerie?

0:10:33 > 0:10:35In a moment. If you could just, er...?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Just towards the light for me. And smile, please.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41OK, one more.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43And if you could just smile again.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Do you think that's, er...? - Yeah, looking good.- Excellent.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49In that case sit tight, get some coffee, tea, whatever,

0:10:49 > 0:10:52- and I'll go and get the lady herself.- Right.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53Jimmi.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59So, Valerie - what's she like?

0:10:59 > 0:11:00Ummm.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Mam likes his solo albums, I prefer the shows.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05So I'm going to give you the same thing you had before.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- South Pacific... - You take it twice a day, with food.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Have you seen it?

0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Have I seen what? - South Pacific, the revival!

0:11:12 > 0:11:14We were there for the opening night in Birmingham!

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Fantastic.- And then when it transferred to the West End,

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- we were there for the opening night again!- Good for you.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Ricky played Emile, obviously.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Who's Emile?- Who's...?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26# Some enchanted evening

0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Oh, right. - # You may see a stranger... #

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- OK. - # You may see a stranger... #

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Got it. - # Across a crowded room... #

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- OK, I'm going to print this out for you. - # And somehow you know

0:11:37 > 0:11:39# You know even then

0:11:39 > 0:11:42# That somehow you'll see her

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- # Again and again... # - Take this twice a day,

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- with food, yeah? - # Some enchanted evening... #

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- OVER THE SINGING:- There you go, you can be on your way.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55No, this is not what you promised me! Real work, you said.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Valuable work. I mean, if this Mr Singer wants a cup of coffee,

0:11:57 > 0:12:00he should make it himself. Or actually you should make it.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03I'm an administrative secretary, I should not be making coffee!

0:12:05 > 0:12:08He's... He's right there, isn't he, Mr Singer?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10# Once you have found her

0:12:10 > 0:12:12# Never let her go

0:12:12 > 0:12:14# Once you have found her... #

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Hello, Valerie.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18# Never let... #

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Oh! - SHE SCREAMS

0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's a madhouse.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31Hi, Mum!

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Half an hour.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06I arrived half an hour early,

0:13:06 > 0:13:09and you kept me waiting another half hour on top of that.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11An hour in that waiting room,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14with nothing to read but a collection of NHS leaflets

0:13:14 > 0:13:15on gonorrhoea.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Apologies for that.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20We've been experiencing a little bit of a disruption today,

0:13:20 > 0:13:21as you may have noticed.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23I believe it is called Ricky Delaine.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27There are sick people in this building, doctor.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29He's just about the last thing they need.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32You are absolutely correct.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35A Royal Variety Show favourite.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36I really don't know anything about him.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38He's a bathroom tenor.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Wouldn't know his Puccini from his Verdi -

0:13:41 > 0:13:45even if they paid him to sing Nessun Dorma in a dog food advert...

0:13:45 > 0:13:47- Right!- ..which they probably have.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51OK, calm down, slow breaths.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53I get this all the time.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Total panic.

0:13:54 > 0:13:55I mean, to me.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Usually before I step on stage. - You all right?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Oh!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Ricky...- Now, Valerie...

0:14:03 > 0:14:06I hear that you have been through some tough times.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11What...?

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Yes?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14What's your favourite song?

0:14:15 > 0:14:18Well, that is a really good question.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Do you mean any song ever recorded

0:14:20 > 0:14:22or just the ones that I've done?

0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Just yours.- Well...

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Go on, what's your favourite?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Ah, well...

0:14:29 > 0:14:30- No.- Yeah, yeah.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32No, it's my favourite.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, you're really making me feel old here!

0:14:35 > 0:14:37I recorded that when I was... What?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39..23.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40What is it?

0:14:40 > 0:14:42BOTH: Love Changes Everything.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44I thought that was Michael Ball.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47No, Ricky Delaine did a cover in the '90s.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think that is actually one of my favourites too.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Yeah, I think I should leave. Thanks, yeah.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54This...

0:14:54 > 0:14:58Oh, this is unbelievable!

0:14:58 > 0:14:59What are you doing here?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01You have some very kind friends.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Oh, I do. I do.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Who was it?

0:15:05 > 0:15:06Who arranged this?

0:15:09 > 0:15:10Anthony...

0:15:10 > 0:15:12I just...

0:15:12 > 0:15:14My dentist knows Ricky's agent.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Well...thank you!

0:15:17 > 0:15:19And thank you so much.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21No, don't thank me.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23I'm getting a free dental check out of this!

0:15:26 > 0:15:28You are going to sing for me, aren't you?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I don't think that was part of the arrangement.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Oh, you've got to sing! - Yeah. Please?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36You know, this isn't exactly ideal surroundings.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41# Love, love changes everything

0:15:41 > 0:15:43# Hands and faces

0:15:43 > 0:15:45# Earth and sky

0:15:45 > 0:15:49# Love, love changes everything

0:15:49 > 0:15:54# How you live and how you die

0:15:54 > 0:15:58# Love will make the summer fly

0:15:58 > 0:16:03# Or a night seem like a lifetime

0:16:03 > 0:16:09# Yes, love, love changes everything

0:16:09 > 0:16:14# Now I tremble at your name

0:16:14 > 0:16:21# Nothing in the world will ever be the same. #

0:16:21 > 0:16:23THEY APPLAUD

0:16:23 > 0:16:27# Love, love changes everything

0:16:27 > 0:16:29# Days are longer

0:16:29 > 0:16:31# Words mean more... #

0:16:31 > 0:16:34How can you possibly concentrate with all that going on?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Just ignore them and stay still please.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39But it makes my heart leap, doctor(!)

0:16:39 > 0:16:41It makes me want to join in the chorus(!)

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- It makes me want to dance(!) - Yeah, best not to.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46She's disrupting your entire surgery.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Right, THAT is a little bit elevated.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Are you surprised?

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- SINGING CONTINUES - Who is the banshee anyway?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- She's a colleague.- Oh?

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- A friend.- Oh, well...

0:17:00 > 0:17:01..I can see she learnt her craft

0:17:01 > 0:17:04at The Ricky Delaine School of Screeching.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11# Love will never, never let you be

0:17:11 > 0:17:17# The same. #

0:17:17 > 0:17:21THEY APPLAUD That was brilliant!

0:17:21 > 0:17:22That was really good.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25You have such a lovely voice, Valerie.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Amazing!

0:17:27 > 0:17:30Listen, Valerie, I'm afraid that this is just a flying visit.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Oh, you can't leave! - Well, not immediately, obviously,

0:17:33 > 0:17:36but I really can't stay too long, I'm on stage in six hours.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40But I've got so much to tell you cos I am your biggest fan.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Ever since...

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Well, forever, really. Always!

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Thank you.- Oh!

0:17:45 > 0:17:47West End Lovers, I saw that twice.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Once in Manchester, once in Nottingham.

0:17:49 > 0:17:50I couldn't get to Cardiff.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Why didn't you come to Letherbridge? - Next time, maybe.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Thank you again. Very generous. - No, I've had a great time.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58I think you're amazing.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Are you sure you can't stay?

0:18:05 > 0:18:06No.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Ah, but I haven't got your autograph!

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Anthony, pen, paper!

0:18:11 > 0:18:12- Reception?- Oh, yeah.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Actually, my wife would probably quite like...

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Got us some lunch.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26I'll put it on the table.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34Whenever you're ready.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47I should come here more often.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Who have you got next week?

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Gary Wilmot?

0:18:50 > 0:18:53That's a little uncalled for, don't you think?

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Are you a fan? - No, I'm not. It's just that...

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well, do you actually know the man

0:18:58 > 0:19:01or is this just a prejudice against the popular culture?

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Goodbye, Dr Haskey.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Mr Grantham.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Oh, hello.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08Ah, are you the singer?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Oh, no. No, that was Valerie, our receptionist.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Wasn't she brilliant?! - Painful.- Oh. I'm sorry.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19What's wrong with Mr Grumpy Pants?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22He's allergic to musical theatre.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25Are you going to come and see him? He's so nice.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28No, I'm not because someone has got to see the patients today.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33OK. Do you know, he told me the funniest story...

0:19:33 > 0:19:34SHE LAUGHS

0:19:34 > 0:19:37..while we were waiting for Valerie.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Actually I probably shouldn't, cos it's quite rude.

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Oh, come on. Come and see him.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'll see how I get on, OK?

0:20:22 > 0:20:26MUFFLED GIGGLING AND CHATTER

0:20:31 > 0:20:34So, that's six weeks from today - Friday the 8th of April.

0:20:34 > 0:20:35What time's good for you?

0:20:35 > 0:20:39Do you think we might avoid the matinee performance this time?

0:20:39 > 0:20:4010:15?

0:20:40 > 0:20:41Perfect.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50You can't give him that to sign!

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Well, I can't just give him a piece of photocopy paper.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54It's got to be special.

0:20:54 > 0:20:55What about...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57blank patient record cards?

0:20:57 > 0:20:59A reminder of his trip to the surgery?

0:20:59 > 0:21:02This has been the best day of my life

0:21:02 > 0:21:04and it is all down to you.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's all been very emotional.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Oh, has he gone?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Staffroom.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11Oh, you left him by himself?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Yeah, it's all right. I think Al's in there with him.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Al and Ricky together, alone?

0:21:17 > 0:21:18Are you sure that's wise?

0:21:28 > 0:21:30So, Mr Delaine,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I understand that you're a fan of Battlestar Galactica.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Yeah, my guilty pleasure.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38The re-imagined universe, yeah?

0:21:38 > 0:21:39Well, I...

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- have a soft spot for Glen A Larson...- Come off it!

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Buck Rogers in the 25th Century?

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Yeah, fair point.

0:21:46 > 0:21:47So...

0:21:47 > 0:21:49skinjobs, not toasters?

0:21:51 > 0:21:53They're all toasters!

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Go on, mate, what's your favourite episode?

0:21:55 > 0:21:56Can I include Caprica?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Yeah, but why would you want to?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Yeah, fair point. Well, in that case,

0:22:01 > 0:22:02the first episode.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05You know, that view of the Galactica...

0:22:06 > 0:22:07I'm getting chills.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09For me, it was that moment that you realise

0:22:09 > 0:22:11that they've made Starbuck a woman. I was like...

0:22:11 > 0:22:14"This... This is a thing."

0:22:14 > 0:22:15You just fancy Starbuck.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Well, she's very fanciable. - She is very special.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20HE GROWLS

0:22:20 > 0:22:23- BOTH: Battlestar Galactica. - Oh, I know.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Tah-dah!- Ah!

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Sorry, sweetheart, we were busy.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36This is my girl.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39My beautiful daughter,

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Ayesha.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43- All right?- Does he have a name?

0:22:43 > 0:22:45Course he has a name!

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Ike.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Nice to meet you, Ike.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51I didn't get enough soup, I didn't know we had a guest.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52Oh, that's all right.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I ain't hungry.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55Me and my mum need some space.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Yeah. Well, I'll...

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'll just wait next door then, eh?

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I mean I need you to leave.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06Oh.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07Much appreciated.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09No problem, Anthony.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Ricky, I've just come up with this idea,

0:23:12 > 0:23:13tell me what you think.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Battlestar Galactic - The Musical!

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Yeah, with a Cylon chorus!

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Yeah, we find the world's biggest venues

0:23:20 > 0:23:22and we put on this extraordinary, kind of,

0:23:22 > 0:23:24light and sound spectacular!

0:23:24 > 0:23:25Who would you like to play?

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Well, Apollo, obviously.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28HE SCOFFS

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yeah, you could be his dad.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32- You could be the Admiral. - I could do Apollo!

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Yeah, I'm just saying.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36I can do what I like!

0:23:36 > 0:23:38Of course you can because YOU are Ricky Delaine!

0:23:38 > 0:23:43That's right. I'm Delaine, Ricky Delaine.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45That's so cool. Apollo it is.

0:23:45 > 0:23:46Boys...

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Right...

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Valerie...

0:23:51 > 0:23:54I have a little something for you.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Look, keep well and write to me.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00I've been through the medical roller-coaster

0:24:00 > 0:24:01several times, myself.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- It's never easy.- No, it's not.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05But you have some really good friends here.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06I'm sure they'll help.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Now stay strong.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13Thank you, Ricky.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Oh, are they six show tickets?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18It'll be a signed photo.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19No, it won't.

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Oh!

0:24:24 > 0:24:26It's a Valentine's Card...

0:24:29 > 0:24:31..to me, from Ricky Delaine.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34That guy.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37I mean, he's not the world's strongest vocalist, but,

0:24:37 > 0:24:38as a personality, he's...

0:24:40 > 0:24:41He's all right.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49The thing is...

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Your mum, she needs me.

0:24:52 > 0:24:53Like a hole in the head.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55Mum, just tell him to go.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57I can't.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I don't want to.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Anyway, he's my new lodger.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02What?!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yeah, I've got keys and everything.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Oh, Mum, come on. You don't even know him!

0:25:07 > 0:25:08He's paying rent,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11I need the money. So be nice to him.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18SHE LAUGHS

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Happy anniversary.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32They were like that when I first met them 30 years ago.

0:25:32 > 0:25:33That should do it.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36She always has a big appetite after a night of hot passion.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Too much information.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41What matters is that we are still together.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43He's just what I need right now.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45You reckon?
