0:00:27 > 0:00:29Look, all I'm saying is that you need a holiday.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31I haven't got time.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32- Yeah, well, you look exhausted. - Thank you.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34OK, a double espresso, then?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36I need the energy. Look at that!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Not only do people eat this rubbish,

0:00:38 > 0:00:40they can't be bothered to put it in the bin.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42No wonder there's an obesity crisis.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43OK, grumpy chops.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46You do litter patrol, I'm getting coffee.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Oh! Ooh!

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hello? Hello?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- What...?- You passed out.- Oh, right.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04I think you had a blackout.

0:01:04 > 0:01:06- No, I haven't.- I can't have.

0:01:06 > 0:01:07Has this happened before?

0:01:07 > 0:01:10No, not really. It's nothing. I just felt dizzy.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13You need to go to hospital and get it checked out...

0:01:13 > 0:01:15I'll be waiting hours. I haven't got time.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Then see your GP.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19If you're having blackouts, they do need to be investigated.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22I've got to go. I'm fine now. Thanks.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Ta-da! Here you go.- Great.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Let's go.- You all right?- Yes.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Ben?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's...it's Harry. He's...

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Just...say it.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48He's much worse.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50I've been here all night.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53He's having episodes of arrhythmia.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54That's bad, isn't it?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Yes, it is.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57They're trying to stabilise him

0:01:57 > 0:02:00but his heartbeat's all over the place.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Who's looking after him? Is it Richmond?

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Yeah. They've been trying to tell me what's going on

0:02:04 > 0:02:06but I just can't take it in.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09I don't understand half the jargon, anyway.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12They said something about VT.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Niamh...

0:02:15 > 0:02:16I think he's dying.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Look, I know you're at work...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22but can you come down?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24I can't deal with this on my own.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Ben, it should really be you and Sarah.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Sarah's not here. She can't come to the hospital.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31She caught a stomach bug over the weekend.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33She can't be round him for 48 hours.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35OK. I'll be there as soon as I can, all right?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I'm on my way.- Thank you.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, Jimmi!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Jimmi.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49I need a huge favour.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Seven-days-a-week working?- Yes.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's coming anyway.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56If we can be the first practice to offer it,

0:02:56 > 0:02:58we'll be ahead of the game. Extra work, extra money.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Seven days a week? We'll need more staff.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03You won't get me coming in on the weekend.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05It'd be more money, Karen.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Well, pay me double and I might think about it.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I wouldn't mind the extra work.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I could do with the money, to be honest.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Flapjack, anyone? Home-made.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16The money's not the point.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19We need time to relax, recharge our batteries.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22This endless 24/7 culture...

0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's a crazy little thing called modern life.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I remember when patients were grateful for the NHS,

0:03:27 > 0:03:29they were grateful for a family doctor.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Now they just take us for granted.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Ah, yes, when Letherbridge was all fields,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36and doctors made house-calls in a horse-drawn carriage.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Don't worry, Heston. It won't be you working weekends.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41It'll be shift work for the younger doctors.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44I'm not objecting to the hours. It's the principle.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yes, Heston, we all know about your principles.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Meanwhile, back in the real world,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50you're doing HGV driver medicals again today.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Yes, I know. I got your e-mail. - Big contract, Heston.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54All good for the practice.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57So, you and Doctor Donoghue will be doing the honours.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Uh...it's like a truck-stop out there.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01I'm sure you'll handle it, Karen.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Maybe Valerie could give them one of her lovely flapjacks.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I've just been talking to Niamh. She's going to be out all morning.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Unlucky, Heston, looks like you've lost your assistant.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14You will let me know if it gets too much for you, won't you?

0:04:19 > 0:04:21KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24Take a seat, will you?

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Have you had a significant psychiatric disorder

0:04:30 > 0:04:32in the last six months?

0:04:32 > 0:04:33No, I haven't.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Do you mind stepping onto that line and reading that chart for me?

0:04:38 > 0:04:42A-O-E-H-L-A.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Would you mind standing on the scales over there for me, please?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Just pop on the weight plate.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52There we go.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Please have a seat.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Oh!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09He's still in VF. We're going to have to shock him.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Charging.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Stand clear, everybody.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20I know it looks brutal, but he can't feel a thing, OK?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Charging.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Clear.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34That's done it! Sinus rhythm. OK.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Have you had any form of seizure or fit?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49No.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Have you had any blackouts or impaired consciousness

0:05:53 > 0:05:55during the last five years?

0:05:55 > 0:05:57No.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Look, we've been through all the questions.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, let me ask you that last one again.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03I don't have blackouts.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07I saw you having a blackout, earlier.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Doctor Richmond.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15We've managed to stabilise your son.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17We had to resuscitate him.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20He's anaesthetised and on a ventilator now.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21You saved his life.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Well, all we can do is buy him some time.

0:06:25 > 0:06:26I know. I meant...

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Thank you.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33We're taking him for a scan. It'll be a while.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35So, if you want to take a break...

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- I'm sorry, I have to get on. - Of course.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44When was the last time you had something to eat or drink?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- It doesn't matter.- OK.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48You have to look after yourself.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52How are you going to be any use to Harry if you fall apart?

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Come on.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01I'm not having blackouts!

0:07:01 > 0:07:02But I saw you.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05No, you didn't. It wasn't me.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Look, I want to help, but I need to know more about these blackouts.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11It wasn't a blackout, not really.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Well, even if you're only blacking out for a few seconds,

0:07:13 > 0:07:15I need to know why.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Has it been happening for months, years?

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I'm not ill. There's nothing wrong with me. You've checked.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24My heart, my blood pressure, my eyesight, they're all fine.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26But you're having unexplained blackouts.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28I've got a perfect record.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32I've never caused an accident, never driven over the limit,

0:07:32 > 0:07:35never got speeding points. I'm a safe driver.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's never happened to me while I've been driving.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39And if it does?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43What if it happens when you're at the wheel of an HGV?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm sorry. I can't pass you fit to drive.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I need this job.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52My wife's got arthritis. She can't work any more.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56We've got kids, grandchildren. We need the money.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Well, maybe the company can give you a job that doesn't involve driving?

0:07:59 > 0:08:00Like what?

0:08:00 > 0:08:05I'm 55. I don't have qualifications.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06It's the only thing I've ever done.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08I've never worked in an office in all my life.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Look, I know how you feel. - No, you don't!

0:08:11 > 0:08:15You people, you're always going to be all right.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17You don't know what it's like for the rest of us.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I have been in this job long enough to know what it's like

0:08:20 > 0:08:23to have one's competence questioned.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25What was wrong with you, then?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Well, nothing. I was just empathising with you.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28What's wrong with you?

0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Why don't you fill in one of them? - Terry, can we just focus on you?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34No. They shouldn't have you doing these medicals

0:08:34 > 0:08:35if you're not competent.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37I want to see someone else.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39I want a second opinion.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I want to make a complaint and if you're not fit,

0:08:42 > 0:08:43I want to sue!

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Trouble?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55I'll talk to him.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Then, my office. Quick word?

0:09:06 > 0:09:08Thanks for the food.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10And the stern talking to.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11You're welcome.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Visitors' car park.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17We do go to the most romantic places.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Listen, it'll be a while before they let us back in to see Harry.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Why don't you have a sleep and I'll wake you up?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I can't.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33If I was a half-decent dad, I wouldn't be sitting here,

0:09:33 > 0:09:34waiting for him to die.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'd get him out and I'd take him abroad myself,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- where they can actually treat him. - Ben, that's crazy.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43It could work.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47We just need to get him across the Channel.

0:09:47 > 0:09:48No!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53You see how much care he needs?

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Do you think all those machines are for show?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58He's fed through a tube. His liver and other vital

0:09:58 > 0:10:03organs are failing, his immune system is severely compromised.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06If you try to take him abroad, you won't be saving him.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07You could be killing him.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09He needs 24/7 medical care.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I know a medical professional.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- A really good one.- No.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21- You care about him.- That's why I don't want to take the risk.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23If he stays here he's going to die.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26He could have died this morning.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28He could die tonight. He could die tomorrow.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And if I've done nothing to help him...

0:10:30 > 0:10:34We are going to fight to get him abroad to get this treatment.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37If you persuade the Trust and they agree,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41then he'll be transferred properly, in an ambulance, with medical staff.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45That's what you should be fighting for, you and Sarah together.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50I need some air.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Leaving aside what you think you saw...- I did see it.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Mr Corbett says he simply tripped, and you misinterpreted.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11You do know why they come here?

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Because the company's paying.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, they're not registered at the Mill,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17so we can't check their records.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19We can only work with what they've got.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22This is the prescribed form.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23As long as the drivers have a medical

0:11:23 > 0:11:27and they're carried out properly, that's all that's required of us.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, God forbid I use my years of experience

0:11:29 > 0:11:31and actually make a diagnosis!

0:11:35 > 0:11:38I can't help thinking this is partly my fault.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40I've piled on the work, piled on the pressure,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- you said you could cope and I believed you.- I can cope.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46I've talked to Mr Corbett. He's extremely upset.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49What exactly did you say to him?

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Something about doubting your own fitness to work?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55That's not what I meant.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Well, it seems to be what Mr Corbett heard.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59And it's very unfortunate.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01He's now questioning your competence.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03He doesn't feel he's had a proper medical.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04He doesn't think it should count.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11I suggest we have another doctor redo the medical.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13They'll decide if he's fit to drive.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Will you pass on my concerns? I've made some notes.

0:12:19 > 0:12:20Of course, absolutely.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Heston, you seem stressed.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Maybe you should take a break. - I don't need a break.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31You have to look after your own wellbeing.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33And we'd manage without you.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35No-one's indispensable.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43If you're sure you're able to carry on with the other medicals?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Of course.- Splendid!

0:12:45 > 0:12:46Right.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Back to the fray.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- WOLF WHISLES - Hubba-hubba.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11- You- OK? Soldiering on.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15So, I knew you wouldn't bother with lunch, so I bought you that.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's very healthy. Full of spinach.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Thank you.- My pleasure.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Thank you for giving me a lift today.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24So, the car's had its MOT and I need to pick it up just before four.

0:13:24 > 0:13:25You still OK to give me a lift?

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Yes, of course. I said I would.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- It'd be good to get out of this place.- OK.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Oh, did you get a chance to talk to Anthony?

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- He thinks I should go on holiday. - Yes! Tuscany, here we come.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37No, no, no, no, no.

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Why, why, why, why, why?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Because that's exactly what he wants!

0:13:40 > 0:13:42He thinks I'm not up to the job.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44If I go now, I'd just be giving in.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47Heston, don't be so paranoid.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You are stressed and everybody knows it.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52You need a break.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56Maybe Anthony is being a good manager and looking after his staff.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00I need you to be OK.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03You think it's noble and self-sacrificing

0:14:03 > 0:14:05to work yourself into the ground. Well, it isn't.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08It isn't good for your patients and it isn't good for you.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10- Ruhma... - I'm going to go

0:14:10 > 0:14:12and I'll see you later.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13Eat that!

0:14:17 > 0:14:18DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Maybe you should go home for a bit, you know, have a sleep.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25No.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29My dad died in hospital.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30Oh.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32It was a stroke.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I was away on my gap year and I couldn't get back in time.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41My mum sat with him for two days.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47She went home to get a shower and a change of clothes...

0:14:48 > 0:14:50..and while she was gone, he died.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56I'm scared if I go home, Harry is going to die.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00I know it's irrational.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Harry's not going to die cos you take a break.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05OK? And we're going to help him.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- How?- We'll argue this at every level, all right?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11If Richmond doesn't agree, we'll go over his head.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14We go to the CCG. We go to the NHS England.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17We go to the Trust.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20I will put together all the research I can,

0:15:20 > 0:15:22- but you and Sarah really need to... - Sarah doesn't agree.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26What?!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29She doesn't want Harry to go abroad.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31She doesn't think the treatment is going to work.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Why didn't you tell me this?

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Niamh, I'm sorry, I just...

0:15:36 > 0:15:37You lied to me!

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I didn't mean to lie.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42I thought I could convince Sarah.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Give me a sec.- Right.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Steve de Rosa?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59He's here. He's just nipped to the loo.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Doctor Carter...

0:16:03 > 0:16:04Yes?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Sorry I blew up at you, all right? It wasn't on.

0:16:07 > 0:16:08Yes, well...

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Anyway it's all sorted now.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Sorry, what do you mean?

0:16:12 > 0:16:15I saw that other doctor. He's passed me fit to drive,

0:16:15 > 0:16:16so we're all happy.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18What?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20He did it properly. Asked all the questions.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Which doctor was this?

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Posh, bit of a smoothie.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Er, Doctor Granger. Something like that.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Did you explain to Sarah about the Belarus case?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Yes, and I can argue until I'm blue in the face.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37She doesn't want to know.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39I can kind of see her point of view.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Really? I can't.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43Ben, there are so many charlatans out there,

0:16:43 > 0:16:46who make a fortune from preying on people like you and Sarah,

0:16:46 > 0:16:49desperate parents who'll do anything for their sick child.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Yeah, but the clinic's legit. The treatment is worth trying.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55I believe so, but the doctors here don't.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Even if there's a small chance,

0:16:57 > 0:17:00I can understand Sarah thinking it's not worth the risk

0:17:00 > 0:17:03and wanting to keep Harry as comfortable as possible.

0:17:03 > 0:17:04Yeah, and wait for him to die.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10I think she's accepted it.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Maybe she's even at peace with it.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17It looks like I'm going to have to fight this on my own, then.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19It's not that simple, Ben.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21If Sarah's opposed to treatment, it changes everything.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23How?

0:17:23 > 0:17:28Even if you had a united front, it'd be very, very difficult.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31But if you fundamentally disagree over Harry's care...

0:17:31 > 0:17:32What?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37I don't think you can fight this on your own.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- KNOCK ON DOOR - Yep?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51You've declared Terry Corbett fit to drive.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yes.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Did Anthony pass on my concerns?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58No, he didn't.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00What did he say?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Heston, I'm on my lunch-hour, the first half of which was spent

0:18:03 > 0:18:05redoing a medical that you messed up, so...

0:18:05 > 0:18:06What did Anthony say?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11He said that you were struggling.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I'm what?- Yeah, you're struggling with the workload.

0:18:14 > 0:18:15That you're overwrought

0:18:15 > 0:18:19and that you'd had a shouting match with Mr Corbett

0:18:19 > 0:18:21and he threatened to make an official complaint.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22That's when he asked me to take over.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26Did he say Mr Corbett's been having blackouts?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28No, he didn't.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Let's start over.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Tell me everything.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I have to go.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45But I'm finished at six and I'll come straight back.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Yeah, I should get back to Harry.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50It must be so hard on Sarah having to stay away.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Niamh,

0:18:52 > 0:18:54would you talk to Sarah?

0:18:55 > 0:18:59I'll give you all the arguments all the evidence you need.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02I've tried to convince her, but she won't listen to me.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04She might listen to you.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06It could do more harm than good.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07Her ex-partner's new girlfriend

0:19:07 > 0:19:09telling her how to look after her son?

0:19:09 > 0:19:13You're a medical professional, giving an opinion.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14You said it yourself.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18If we can get her on side, we've got a chance.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19It shouldn't be me.

0:19:20 > 0:19:21There's no-one else.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Do it for Harry.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25That's not fair.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26None of this is fair!

0:19:27 > 0:19:30None of this should be happening, but it is. This is where we are at.

0:19:32 > 0:19:33Look, Niamh,

0:19:33 > 0:19:35talk to her.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36At least try.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38Please.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42He definitely blacked out? It wasn't just a fall?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44I know what I saw.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45OK,

0:19:45 > 0:19:47and Ruhma was there with you?

0:19:47 > 0:19:49She was in the shop, getting coffee.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53Right, but she must've seen you talking to him when she came out.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55No, it was very quick. He blacked out. I went to help him.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58By the time she came out, he was gone.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59What? So she never saw him?

0:19:59 > 0:20:01And you didn't discuss it afterwards?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07We were busy. We had to get to... I'm not imagining this.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Really? What, with your history?

0:20:10 > 0:20:11My history?

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Yeah, fugue states, sleepwalking.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17That was depression

0:20:17 > 0:20:19and I'm fine now.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20Are you?

0:20:21 > 0:20:24Look, Heston,

0:20:24 > 0:20:25I think...

0:20:25 > 0:20:27We all think

0:20:27 > 0:20:28maybe you could do with a break.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33If he has another blackout at the wheel of an HGV,

0:20:33 > 0:20:34someone could be killed.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Of course, and we could sued. The practice could be destroyed.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Is that all you think about? Our reputation?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42That's unnecessary and offensive.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Is this why you became a doctor? Business? Ticking boxes?

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- I can't talk to you like this. - Anthony is going to destroy the practice.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Why won't you listen to me?

0:21:02 > 0:21:03DOOR SLAMS

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Ah, the wanderer returns. Did you have a good morning?

0:21:10 > 0:21:13It must be wonderful to swan off and have someone else do your work.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I cleared it with Jimmi.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Oh, well, that's all right, then. - Heston.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20I don't need this right now.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22What's wrong with you, Heston?

0:21:22 > 0:21:24Oh, do you know what?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'll go and talk to her. She's upset.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Heston, I think you should go home.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I don't want to go home.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38I'm not asking, I'm telling you, as a partner.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Go home and take care of yourself. - I don't need to take care of myself?

0:21:41 > 0:21:42I'm not some senile old wreck.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Yeah, but you don't need to behave like an idiot, do you?- Al, come on.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Look, I don't think you're fit for work, OK?

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- We're just trying to help you. - I don't need your help!

0:21:52 > 0:21:56OK. Look, go home. Call it a sick day. We'll talk tomorrow.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06You didn't pass on Heston's concerns. You should've done.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I'm sorry. He was barely coherent.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11He'd just messed up the medical. He'd antagonised the customer.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I didn't think he'd even filled in the form.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15I had to search his office.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18It's such a tip, it's a wonder he can find anything in there.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Section six.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28OK. Well, look, if Mr Corbett's still here, I'd better go and talk to him.

0:22:28 > 0:22:29Thank you. Uh, Daniel...

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I'm worried about Heston.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34Yeah, so am I.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36It's a shame,

0:22:36 > 0:22:38but I don't think he's coping.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40He won't take a holiday. He won't slow down.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43The last thing I want is for him to have some kind of a breakdown.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45And he's vulnerable.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46In what way?

0:22:48 > 0:22:49He's been through a lot.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52And after that court case...

0:22:52 > 0:22:53Court case?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Thank goodness that's all over. - Yeah, let's go.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Mr Corbett, can I have a word? - I've got to go.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08You didn't disclose something on your form.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12If you suffer from blackouts or impaired consciousness,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14you're not safe to drive.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17So, I'm sorry to say that you have failed your medical.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19You need to stop driving and inform the DVLA.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Yeah, all right, you've made your point. That's your opinion.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- I've got to go. - This is serious, Mr Corbett.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28And if there's any reason for me to believe

0:23:28 > 0:23:30that you've ignored my advice and are still driving,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33then I have to contact the DVLA and I won't have a problem doing that.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I never meant any harm.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38You lied. You covered up a potentially serious condition.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Wouldn't you, if it was your job?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44I don't even know why they happen.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, look,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49find out. Go back to your own GP.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Get it diagnosed as soon as possible.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53There's a chance that it can be treated, managed

0:23:53 > 0:23:56and then you could get your licence back.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59So, it's in your own interest.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00You came with someone?

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Yeah, a mate. I'm giving him a lif...

0:24:04 > 0:24:05Let him drive.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45HE WINCES

0:24:48 > 0:24:49HE GASPS

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Jimmi, you haven't seen Heston, have you? I need a word.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Ah, yeah, I had to send him home.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59He had a tantrum. He blew up at Niamh, so we need to have a chat with him.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03Yes. Anthony wants to have a partners' meeting.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Good idea. What do you want to talk to Heston about?

0:25:05 > 0:25:06It'll wait.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10HE GROANS

0:25:14 > 0:25:15My phone.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06SHE SHOUTS

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Are you feeling worried about today?

0:26:10 > 0:26:12I'm going to count to five and you're going to calm down.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Don't want to go. No!

0:26:14 > 0:26:18I'd be going in the capacity of a doctor, not as Ben's girlfriend.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21- I know it sounds ridiculous. - No, it's poisonous.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25I don't want to see you anywhere near my son again.
