0:00:28 > 0:00:30Sorry, bye.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32MOBILE RINGS
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Hello.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Professor Lewis? It's Doctor Sid Vere. I wanted to check
0:00:37 > 0:00:39you're still on for the Student Fair this afternoon?
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Absolutely, yes. I shall be heading down your way, in about 30 minutes.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Fantastic!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We can talk through it then.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47See you then.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- All right? - Yep. He's on his way.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Here are those bits that you wanted. How's it going?- Yeah, fine.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55We're going to focus on eating disorders,
0:00:55 > 0:00:56some creative therapies, art...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We've got someone who specialises in Yoga coming down.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01We've got speeches throughout the day, couple of big ones
0:01:01 > 0:01:04to finish on. Professor Lewis from the uni. And then, to finish,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I've got this graduate student who has been through it all.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08He's so inspirational.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10OK, all right, what do you want me to do?
0:01:10 > 0:01:11How much time have you got?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I'm at the Campus for a bit this morning,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15but I can come back and forth.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19OK, well, maybe promote the practice and try and push the helpline.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20OK, fine. See you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Here they come.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26MOBILE RINGS
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hi Ben! It's good to hear from you.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Listen.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I wanted to say sorry about yesterday.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35What for?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37For going on about Harry.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40That's fine!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Yeah, but it wasn't fair, to put it on you like that.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46No, no. I just really wish there was something I could do to help.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Maybe I could take you out for lunch to make up for it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51You can buy me lunch.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54But on the condition that we both talk about whatever
0:01:54 > 0:01:55we want to talk about.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Harry included. Deal?
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Deal.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05If anyone wants to make an appointment,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08come in for a chat, that's what we're here for.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Or you can fill in ones of these postcards, drop it in the box
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and we'll get back to you.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Half three's fine.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16So how long do you want me to speak for?
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- Most people are doing about five or ten minutes.- That's fine.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Actually, there's some interesting new stuff on social
0:02:24 > 0:02:27inclusion in relation to recovery, I might do some on that.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Sounds great. Thank you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Hey, Daniel.- Haven't seen you down the club recently.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It's a busy time, getting third-year students over the final hurdles.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Handicap suffers every year. - Oh, yeah.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I know it might get annoying, but can I ask you a question?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44- Medical one.- Sure.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Although your GP is usually the best placed. Who are you with?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Doctor Reid.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51She's a lovely woman, um, the thing is,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm in a new relationship and, er,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I kind of feel a little bit...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58discussing this kind of thing with her.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00OK, I'm going back down to the Campus Surgery in a bit,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02if you want to talk.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03- Sure.- OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Seriously, no-one wants to sign up, they're too embarrassed.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08What should we do?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Not sure there's an easy answer to that one.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15There we go.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Now, promise me you'll be more careful next time.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Because no goal is worth a scrape like that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Oh, I said the wrong thing there.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Thank you.- No problem, take care. - Come on!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50You'd have thought they'd at least fill in a postcard.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52WHALE SONG PLAYS
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Do you reckon the whale noises are putting them off?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Mental illness carries such a stigma.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00They're bound to be self-conscious, I guess.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Yeah, but how do you get round that? - No idea.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh! Maybe the Campus website?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Yeah! Bit less in your face. Anonymous.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Exactly. And then you get the conversation started.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Hiya, I'm Ruth. - Hi, thanks for coming.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Ruth, this is Ayesha, our practice nurse.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21This is Ruth, she's doing a PhD in the psychology department.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24And you're promoting yoga as an alternative therapy?
0:04:24 > 0:04:25- That's me. - SID'S PHONE RINGS
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Shall I put these out? - Yeah, wherever you like.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Hope you have more joy getting people to sign up than we have.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Really?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh. That's a shame. I can't change your mind?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK, you too.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46My amazing recovering student has just changed his mind.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Said he doesn't want defining as the mentally ill person with a story.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Can see his point.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53What now?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59There's got to be someone, you know, who's been there, seen it all.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Can you hold the fort for a bit? - Yeah, 'course.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Everything all right?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15In a word, no.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Oh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19It's so frustrating.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I met this little boy yesterday, Harry.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27He's just a lovely child, and he's lying in his hospital bed.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30He's got a systemic autoimmune condition,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32and there's nothing they can do for him.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34It's unstoppable.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Harry Owens? - You know him?
0:05:37 > 0:05:38I know of him, yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It started in his gut and now it's affecting his thyroid.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46What's the prognosis?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Valerie, I know.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I know. Seriously, I'm on it.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I just can't discuss the details right now.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I will talk to you later. OK, bye-bye.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Sorry! Where were we?
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Just wondering if you want me to get up on the table and demo some moves?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I've got the leotard on under this.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Um...
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Don't worry. Joking.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19Yoga. The link between health, mental health and physical health.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Try it. Great for anxiety, depression, stress.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28It's been a while since I've done the old downward facing dog.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Is it me or do most yoga positions sound a bit rude?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Great for your love-life! That's for sure.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What love-life?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39MOBILE RINGS
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Hi, Valerie.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45A Grim Reaper costume? No, do not buy that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I'll get it sorted, I promise!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58We've been seeing more and more of each other, you know,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00drinks, coffee...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You kind of bump into each other in the corridor,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05ten minutes later you're still talking to each other.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07So, what's the problem?
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Someone like you would probably think this is not a problem.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14OK. I sense, things are going to become physical.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18We're going away together for the weekend.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And I'm afraid it's not going to work.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Any particular reason? Have you had previous surgery in the area?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Or do you have low blood pressure?
0:07:25 > 0:07:31No, no. It's more of a fear of self-fulfilling prophecy.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Nerves about it not working, leading to more nerves,
0:07:35 > 0:07:41leading me into a spiral, meaning it's not all right on the night.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- It's all in the mind. - Isn't everything?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Let's check the body first.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Make sure your physiology is in order first, OK.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49So, just roll your sleeve up.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- I'm in a bit of a fix.- Oh.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55My main speaker dropped out for this afternoon.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57You know that we're running a mental health
0:07:57 > 0:07:58stall at the student fair.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Anyway, the great thing about him was that he'd really been there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- You know, and... - You want me to speak?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06It would be so great to hear about your experience.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09The problem we've got is, we've got all these students,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13they won't even take a leaflet in case people start labelling them.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17And then there'd be you, a doctor. It would be such a positive message.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I did that once. It felt OK.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22But I'm not doing it again. Sorry.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I'm sure there's someone you can ask.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30What's the verdict, Doc. Am I going to live?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31You're in OK shape.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33But I see that you're on nitrates for angina.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36You know that rules out the little blue pills, don't you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I had read something. Does that completely rule them out?
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I wouldn't run the risk.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Just as I thought. - You need to relax.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And trust that your body will do the right thing.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yeah, but the pressure's on, more than you might think you know?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51There's a bit of an age gap. 20 odd years.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It kind of sneaked up on us.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56First I thought, we were just good friends.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Definitely a meeting of the minds.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's quite intimidating, to be honest.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You fancy her. She fancies you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05There isn't a problem.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Morning, Heston. Actually, bit of a long shot, are you busy later?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Ruddy car blocked me in.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I was stuck outside Mrs Rylance's house for 20 minutes!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18And they saunter back from shopping, no hint of an apology!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I could have been on an emergency call.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Sorry? Did you want something?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- No, it's fine. Forget about it.- Good man.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30KNOCKING
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Hello?- Hi. Harry Owens. - Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's been bugging me since we last spoke.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39His condition, some call it 'FAS?' Fredricksson's Autoimmune Syndrome?
0:09:39 > 0:09:40I didn't hear anything about that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's new.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I saw the research was referenced at a conference a few months back.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I didn't go to the seminar, but...
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Do you mind if I...?- Oh, please.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm sure they were developing a treatment.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I've scoured all the official journals. There's nothing!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57No, it's because it's way off the mainstream.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Might be worth a look though.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Here we go! Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's a form of plasmapheresis with some less common
0:10:03 > 0:10:05electrolytes by the look of it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08They're using an immunosuppressive biological agent.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And there you go.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12It's not approved.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Right, in the UK.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Or anywhere, look.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's available in Europe, on an experimental basis...
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah, well that's tricky and expensive.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22No, no, this could be a lifeline.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I'm going to have to leave you with that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26I promised Ayesha I'd head back to the stall.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27- Are you OK to cover?- Of course.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And thank you so much for this, Daniel.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44So, how's it been?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Busy. But we've coped.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50And, I've had an idea for Valerie's hen do. Finally!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Phew. - It's a bit off the wall.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54This is Valerie we're talking about.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Exactly, so it could be perfect.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Did you manage to find another speaker?
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Nope. No dice.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's a shame. What are you going to do?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10That is just not true!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13No way am I guaranteed a first just because he's marking my paper!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22So, like I said, I'm really sorry.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let's talk about anything but.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Actually, I might have found something.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Maybe you've been here before.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A colleague of mine dug this out.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37It's very obscure stuff, and it's really early days.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45I mean, it's not even available over here, but I thought,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47you know, it's positive,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51and it might show that there's some progress being made somewhere.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54"Significantly prolongs the life of patients." This is amazing!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's at the really experimental stages.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- I will come see you later on. - Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Daniel.- Hi.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Just wanted to say, what we were talking about earlier.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- You must think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill.- No.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17But the thing is, I didn't mention the most important bit.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think I'm falling in love.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26I didn't think it would happen to me.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Not at my age.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Thought all that had closed down years ago,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32when my wife packed her bags.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37You forget what a fantastic feeling it is.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38It's like being a teenager!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So it's been good talking to you.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Thank you for your honesty.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I've just got to act on it now.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53What?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59She's obviously really important to you.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yeah, she means the world. Why do you ask?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Maybe just be careful.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10You're her supervisor, right? You're responsible for marking her work.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Look, I don't want to rain on your parade...
0:13:14 > 0:13:18But, is it worth considering, before you get in too deep,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20whether or not she's just using you?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26What makes you say that?
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I overheard her talking before.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Sorry.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38No, no, no. I had my suspicions.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43But then, you know what?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I buried them,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47because I think somewhere deep down
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think it's all too good to be true.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58So right now, I hate you for saying so, but you're right.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Thanks.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I knew something would come up, it always does.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Just when you think you're beaten.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12OK, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14You know, it's still in the very early stages.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15It's not like it's on the NHS.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Yeah, but they're not exactly amateurs,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21not when you read the science behind it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25You know, I've been praying every single night.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And sometimes when I've been lying there,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I've known something will come along.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Or should I say, someone?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Thank you so much.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- I'm going straight down the hospital now.- Oh, OK.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Right.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Bye.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Yeah, things are going well.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06I'm not sure how much longer I'll be down here but...
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Listen, I'm going to call you later, OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Oh, hi. I heard you're doing a speech.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Perhaps you can use some of it in your doctorate.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Although, I hear you're guaranteed a good mark whatever you write.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Sorry, what are you talking about?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What are you trying to say?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Someone overheard you.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- I should have known from the start. - Overheard what?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Don't bother. It's hard enough already.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Dad? Are you OK?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Thank you.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I didn't know you were coming in today.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Yeah, I saw this in town
0:15:54 > 0:15:57and I thought, "I know someone that loves Roman soldiers."
0:15:57 > 0:15:59He'll love it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Actually, do you want a cup of tea?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Roy, can I have a word?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15That young girl you were talking to back there -
0:16:15 > 0:16:16is she your daughter?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Martine.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah, and is she in your department, too?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Yes, why?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Because she's the one that I overheard.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33You thought I was having an affair with Martine.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36To be fair, I didn't know that she was your daughter.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- I've got some news. - So have I.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Yeah, but... - No, you need to hear this.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Doctor Richmond caught me on the way in and he's...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I think he's trying to prepare us.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54They were saying that the main thing now is to make sure that
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Harry's comfortable.- Of course he's got to be comfortable.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You're missing the point.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01He's not just going to come out and say it, unless he has to
0:17:01 > 0:17:04but he's basically saying it's palliative care from now on.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We have to accept that.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08No, there's some new research I've found.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- That's why I'm here. - How many times?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- This is different. - We have to help each other.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Don't make me do this on my own. - Please, wait! Just wait!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Are you going to listen?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Ruth Darby?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Hello, my names Daniel Granger. I'm from the...- From the surgery.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Yeah. I think there's been a bit of a mix-up
0:17:38 > 0:17:40about you and Professor Lewis.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42What kind of a mix-up?
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Well, the thing is, he told me that
0:17:45 > 0:17:47he was starting a relationship with someone
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and that there was a bit of an age gap.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And then I overheard his daughter talking about the fact that she
0:17:53 > 0:17:56was going to get a first because he was marking her paper.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00At that point, I didn't know that was his daughter.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So I put two and two together and
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm afraid I've made a bit of a mess of things.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Well, that's what he was grovelling on about.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Yeah. So I wondered if there's any chance that we could rewind
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and pretend that none of this happened?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17No, of course there isn't!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19The thing is, it's completely my fault.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Roy has done nothing wrong.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24How very male of you to entirely miss the subtext.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28He couldn't wait to believe you, could he?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29He's been trying to back out
0:18:29 > 0:18:32ever since we decided to go away together -
0:18:32 > 0:18:34over one too many glasses of wine, it seems.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- He wants to go away with you. - How do you know what he wants?!
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Why isn't he telling me?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42You're right.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46I haven't been communicating brilliantly.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Oh, you have, Roy, actually.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51But it's time I did.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55I've come to say, how much you mean to me.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Semiotics.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Come on, Professor, you've being saying it loud and clear.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm much too old for you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- No!- It's fine. I get it, don't worry.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Ruth, just listen to me.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17"Act! Action will delineate and define you."
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Thomas Jefferson.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Surprised you don't know that one, Roy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Ruth, wait!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'd be so grateful if...
0:19:30 > 0:19:32OK.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Yeah, well, thanks anyway.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Still no joy?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39No.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Now what?
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Guess I'll have to do it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I thought you wanted someone who'd been through it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Yeah, well...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I do know what it's like to be a student
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- away from home for the first time... - Not quite the same.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55No, but I could talk about looking after your mental well-being,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58staving off depression and low self-esteem.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I mean, it's more about recognising
0:20:00 > 0:20:02when these things are happening to you...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and to other people, come to that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08What?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Is it your mum?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I've not heard from her since she left.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20She could be dead, for all I know.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Oh, come on, Eysh.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26It's true. Drinking herself to death.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Is that why she drinks?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Maybe.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36It's probably why I drink so much.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Are you stressed?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Worried.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Do you realise we've never talked about arrangements?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54What arrangements?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57For when Harry passes on.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I don't want to talk about that.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02So what happens then, practically?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- I don't know and don't want to know. - So who's going to sort it out then?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Nobody, because it's not going to happen.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You're in denial and it's going to be me picking up the pieces.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13That's not fair.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Some students arrive here with established problems.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24We need to make sure their needs are met.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27But many people also experience difficulties
0:21:27 > 0:21:29for the first time at university.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Life here contains plenty of triggers -
0:21:34 > 0:21:38isolation, disorientation, stress.
0:21:39 > 0:21:45This is where a proactive and holistic approach is needed
0:21:45 > 0:21:49before these issues begin to spiral.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Sleep, exercise and eating well, they all help,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58but there's something even more fundamental we can all do -
0:21:58 > 0:22:00that's talk.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03That's why a buddy system is so important.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Talking, easing the burdens.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's so easy to do, yet so easy to forget to do.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13So this is to all of you... of us -
0:22:13 > 0:22:18reach out, and others will reach out to you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21If you need to take action, act.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24That will make the difference.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Just listen.- Please, Ben.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29"It represents a long-awaited step forward in seeking to combat
0:22:29 > 0:22:32"the enigma that is FAS."
0:22:32 > 0:22:34"The new approach is based on plasmapheresis,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36"and has been achieving some extraordinary,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39"unexpected results in terms of extending life."
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Sarah, this is real.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48So it's about peer-to-peer support
0:22:48 > 0:22:52and support between those who have problems and those who don't.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55University is a time of stress.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57That comes with the deal.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But arguably, it's the stressful times that forge us as people.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08So embrace it, but more importantly, embrace the people around you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- Let's go on holiday. - Yeah, right.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Come on, you can't say you don't need one.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Let's go together. - Together?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Not "together" together.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27You know, just two mates. It'll be fun.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yeah, all right. As long as you organise it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- I've got enough on my plate with Valerie.- Fine.- Cool.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Thank you so much, Professor Lewis. Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Now, we did have another speaker, but sadly they've had to pull out.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45So I'm going to say a few words instead.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Now, I can't speak from any personal experience,
0:23:50 > 0:23:51not at all but...
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Well, I am a doctor and after several years at medical school
0:23:54 > 0:23:56and I think I know a few things about stress and anxiety.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I mean, none of us are immune.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01And I've seen enough patients to know just how common these
0:24:01 > 0:24:03issues can be...
0:24:03 > 0:24:06I just want to say sorry.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I've been so nervous about everything.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12You must have thought I was mad.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Unfortunate choice of words.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18We all just need to be mindful, OK?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Step outside our own worries and just live in the moment, OK?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Keep learning, keep healthy, keep active and connect.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Yeah, let's all do that, shall we?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Just connect with each other, yeah? Thank you.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Don't you want to know the reason why I've been so nervous?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48It's because I can't stop thinking about you.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You mean so much to me.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56I can't afford to get anything wrong.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Just more talk, Roy.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19You see why this is different?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Look, this is not me going on the internet,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25wanting to believe everything I read. This came from a doctor.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29She sat me down and showed me this stuff.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Will you promise me something? - Anything.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Don't tell Harry any of this. Not a word.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Of course not. Not until we're further down the line.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's not going further down the line, Ben.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45No more. Promise me.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Please, Sarah, just talk to the doctor.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Here.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56MOBILE RINGS
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Our son is dying. We've known for months, now.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04We have to accept it, for his sake.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09I will not waste any more of his precious time on dreams.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15From now on, our focus is on making his last days as comfortable
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and as happy as can be.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19That's it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34I don't need to be appraised to express my opinion,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- thank you very kindly. - That is abundantly clear, Al.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40No disrespect, but I don't tell you how you could do your job better.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41So naive.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44You have no idea what The Man is capable of.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I'm not making any exceptions, Al. You're in after Niamh.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I know there's something I want, I just don't know what it is.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55OK, so, lots to think about.
