0:00:26 > 0:00:28One butternut squash risotto

0:00:28 > 0:00:30and a side order of the youth-boosting

0:00:30 > 0:00:32fennel and beetroot salad.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54Three lentil soups, two falafel plates and a quinoa salad.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55I'm on it.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Oh, and where are the stuffed peppers?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Dexter?

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Yeah, in a minute!

0:01:09 > 0:01:12I'm nearly there. I'll leave them on the hatch.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's OK. I'm coming.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Three falafel plates, two lentil soups.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Three lentil soups, two falafel plates and a quinoa salad.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30- You think I was born yesterday? - What?

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Dexter.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40That's a prime fillet steak. 12 quid.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42You've got blood on your hands.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Clean them and clean the surfaces.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Halitosis and a hairy back, and he thinks he's God's gift.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56And then, two appointments later,

0:01:56 > 0:02:00I have to endure more grubby innuendo with an 81-year-old widower.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I thought once the up-skirter had been caught,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04all this sleaziness would die down.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08But I've just been propositioned by Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Well, no propositions for me.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Just a few tricky patients.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13We need a treat.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17You know, something to blow away the midweek blues.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, what were you thinking?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Oh, I don't know.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Erm, fine wine,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25crudites.

0:02:25 > 0:02:26You know, just the three of us.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Ah, erm, two of us.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Ayesha's got a date with Tyler.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Course she has.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34But I can grab a bottle on the way home, if you like?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38No, come on, let's go out,

0:02:38 > 0:02:39paint the town red.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42What? On a school night? I'm not sure Mrs T would approve.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Oh, come on. It'll be a giggle.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47I suppose I could manage a couple of drinks at The Icon.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Forget The Icon. Let's go into town.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51You know, find somewhere new.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm not sure, Emma. I mean, it is Tuesday.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54Who goes out on a Tuesday?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Oh, well, I don't know.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58You know, interesting people who aren't daunted

0:02:58 > 0:03:01by the pressures of the working week.

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Like us!

0:03:08 > 0:03:10Group booking's been cancelled.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11So much for all our prep.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14All that risotto will have to be chucked,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16as well as the mixed salad, the focaccia bread.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20The falafels will probably keep.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22We'll probably freeze half of them.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Can't say I blame them.

0:03:26 > 0:03:27Where you going?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29To get myself a proper lunch at the greasy spoon.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Oh, abandon ship, why don't you? We've still got customers.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Only the yummy mummies. The most they'll want is a herbal tea

0:03:35 > 0:03:37and a gluten-free muffin.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39A brush with death won't be far off.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41What?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Keep clogging up your arteries with animal fat.

0:03:43 > 0:03:4630 years of vegetarianism didn't do me much good, did it?

0:03:46 > 0:03:49You were unlucky.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Yeah, unlucky.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57No, no trouble at all, Mrs Hickson.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm very glad that you suggested it.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Very well. I will see you soon.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Goodbye.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11That is me done, Mrs Tembe.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13A trying day?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15What is it with people these days?

0:04:15 > 0:04:18A touch of flu and they're convinced that it's a killer disease.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Cyberchondria, if you ask me.

0:04:21 > 0:04:22You doing anything nice this evening?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- No, not really, although I have a few errands... - PHONE RINGS

0:04:26 > 0:04:28..for a charity that I work for. It's...

0:04:28 > 0:04:30How convenient.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's Daniel's turn to cook and the fridge is empty, apparently!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34He's not getting off the hook that easily.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37I promised Joe we'd watch a movie together.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Something about a talking rodent. God help me.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42A talking rodent.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Right, then. The delights of Birmingham.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Thrill me.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53OK. Well, there's some nice old pubs about.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Get some decent pub grub. - No, no, no.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57No nice, no old

0:04:57 > 0:04:59and definitely no pub grub.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01OK. Bear with me.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Come on. You're a young, vibrant man, child of the millennium.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06You must know where all the cool and hip places are.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Cool and hip?

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yes, Sidney, I am a woman in my prime.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12You need to tantalize me.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- OK, you're kind of scaring me now, Emma.- Good!

0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm going to go home and get changed

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and then you and I are going to have an adventure.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Let's get drunk.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I hope this isn't taking you out of your way?

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Oh, no. No. Not at all.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35The homeless shelter is on my way home.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37I have arranged to pick up some other parcels in the vicinity.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I just can't bear to see good food going to waste.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42And I'd do it myself but the van's conked out

0:05:42 > 0:05:44and I've still got to prep all the grub for tomorrow.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46There's just not enough hours.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Is Mr Hickson still recovering from his surgery?

0:05:49 > 0:05:50He's back on his feet.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I wouldn't say he's entirely back to his old self.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Dexter!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Have you bagged up the leftovers yet?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm sorry. You just can't get the staff.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Whoa.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09That's a bit smart for the Pig and Whistle, isn't it?

0:06:09 > 0:06:11You remember Mrs Tembe?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12Yeah, course. How goes it?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Very well, thank you.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16What have you done with the leftovers?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17Ah, still in the fridge, in the bread bin.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18I asked you to bag them up!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Well, I'm going out. You'll have to do it, won't you?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Is that aftershave? PHONE RINGS

0:06:25 > 0:06:27See you later.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Hello? Yes. Hi.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Erm, I'll go and bag them up now.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Not to worry, Mrs Hickson. There is no rush.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Well, come through and I'll make us a cup of tea.- Lovely.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44There's some mince in the freezer.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45You could do spag bol.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Where's Joe?

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Playing in his room.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51SHE SIGHS

0:06:51 > 0:06:53We are going to watch a movie.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57That's very decadent of you. You lost your grip?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00I think he deserves a break from reading and phonics practice,

0:07:00 > 0:07:01just for one night.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03He does or you do?

0:07:03 > 0:07:04We both do.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Have you checked this?

0:07:06 > 0:07:07Not yet.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- What?- What's wrong?

0:07:13 > 0:07:14The Nativity play.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16That's weeks away, isn't it?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18There's an audition tomorrow!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21An audition? Who do they think they are, Britain's Got Talent?

0:07:21 > 0:07:23They want him to try for the part of Joseph, naturally,

0:07:23 > 0:07:25but he's got a line to learn.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Just as well one of us checked the bag.- Well, I...

0:07:27 > 0:07:28Joe!

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Joe, sweetheart! We're going to do some play acting!

0:07:31 > 0:07:34You're playing Jesus' daddy!

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Dear God.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39He used to retch at the sight of animal flesh

0:07:39 > 0:07:42and now it's all he wants to eat.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46It's as if they swapped his personality along with his liver.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Perhaps it is just a phase, a reaction to his ordeal.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52It's not letting up.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55He's becoming carnivorous by the day.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00Last week, one of our best punters caught him chewing down on a doner kebab.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Doesn't really send out the right kind of message, does it?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05No. No, I suppose not.

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Our whole lives are built around this place. 14 years.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14I don't know who he is any more.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18What kind of tea would you like?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Camomile? Raspberry leaf?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25You have got to be kidding me!

0:08:27 > 0:08:28SHE SIGHS

0:08:28 > 0:08:33That's right. Jesus' daddy had the same name as you.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36He was also a Joe.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Gospel According To Zara.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Daddy's being a bit of a stickler. Technically he was a Joseph,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44but to his good friends he was always Joe.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Now, here's the rub. Some of your classmates also want to be Joseph.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's a great role.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51So you have got to prove to your teachers

0:08:51 > 0:08:54that you are the best man for the job.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56This role belongs to you, doesn't it?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Darling, where's Joe's tool kit, the plastic one?

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Don't know. The loft, maybe. He doesn't play with it any more.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Could you go and have a look for it, please?- Why?

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Because Joseph is a carpenter and carpenters have tools.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10He's got one line. Six words.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12They're not going to ask him to knock up a wardrobe.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15OK, I'm just trying to make this fun for Joe. OK?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Once you have your tools, you can think about riding on the donkey

0:09:17 > 0:09:19and trying so hard...

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Maybe the donor was a big meat eater.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Guess we'll never know.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27It really should not make any difference

0:09:27 > 0:09:30unless you believe in the idea of body memory.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33What's body memory?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35There is the theory that the body,

0:09:35 > 0:09:39not just the mind, it can retain memory.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43So if you have somebody else's heart or kidney or liver,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46you might be affected by the donor's experiences

0:09:46 > 0:09:47and their tastes.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Maybe there's something in that.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52It'd explain why he's become such a raging carnivore.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56I don't think the idea has any basis in scientific fact.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59But who knows?

0:09:59 > 0:10:02There are more things in Heaven and Earth.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I just want to know when I'm getting my husband back.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08The man who cares about animals, cares about this place.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10We just seem to be leading separate lives.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13I never know where he is, what he's up to.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Thanks for coming. I wasn't sure you'd turn up.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Why was that?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Oh, I don't know. I just...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24felt that you sounded a bit nervous when we spoke on the phone.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Yes. I was.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I am, I suppose.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31How about some social lubricant?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Pardon?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36A glass of wine, something stronger? Might make us both at ease.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Thank you. I don't drink.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Right.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Never mind. I'm meant to be off the booze myself.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04So, this is the place.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07What do you think?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's perfect! - Yeah?

0:11:11 > 0:11:12- Yeah.- Cool.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Let's get this show on the road.- Let's do it.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16SHE LAUGHS

0:11:18 > 0:11:19This feels a bit weird.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Dining out in a swanky restaurant with a man I've only just met.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28I haven't been out much.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Not since Tony died.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31No. Course not.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Perhaps we should've invited Nancy.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41The donor coordinator. She offered to join us.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44We don't need a chaperone, do we?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Tony was only 33.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51How old are you?

0:11:51 > 0:11:5245.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56I thought they might have given his liver to someone younger.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Somehow that would seem more...

0:11:59 > 0:12:00fair.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Yes. I suppose it would be.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06But then, life isn't fair.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08So what makes this any different?

0:12:10 > 0:12:12What's wrong with your liver? Cirrhosis?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Primary binary cirrhosis.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18It causes the immune system to attack the bile ducts.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21The doctors aren't sure how I got it.

0:12:21 > 0:12:22Exercised regularly,

0:12:22 > 0:12:24didn't drink too much,

0:12:24 > 0:12:25diet was always super-healthy.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I thought all those lentils and chickpeas would make me immortal.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I mean, why else would you eat them?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34In the end I was just unlucky.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37And if your husband hadn't been even more unlucky, then I'd probably be dead by now.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41I'm sorry. That was a tactless thing to say.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I just meant it as a fact. I wasn't...

0:12:43 > 0:12:46It's OK. I know what you meant.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51If it's all right with you, I'd like to know more.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53About Tony.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ooh, that looks nice.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- After you.- Thank you.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Hi. Right, what's your poison?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- No, it's OK. I'll do the honours. - Oh, thank you.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Cocktail list, sir?- Thank you.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12Might just have a beer, actually.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14A beer?

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Really?- What?

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Come on. You know, when in Rome...

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- OK.- I don't need that.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25We'll have two Singapore Slings, please.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Sounds good.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27Let's get this party started.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30We were happy, on the whole.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Not that it was a perfect marriage.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37We argued quite a bit,

0:13:37 > 0:13:39mainly about money...

0:13:40 > 0:13:41..and when to have kids.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44It was always "next year".

0:13:45 > 0:13:47What did he do for a living?

0:13:47 > 0:13:48He worked on a farm

0:13:48 > 0:13:50with his parents and younger brothers.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52The family business.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53Dairy farm?

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Beef.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56Oh, I see.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Often said it would be the death of him.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00I was right.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01How's that?

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Tony was doing his chores,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07herding cattle on his own.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12He always was in too much of a hurry.

0:14:13 > 0:14:14The cows stampeded.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19He suffered serious head injuries.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26And then a few days later, the doctors told us he was brain dead.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29That's horrific. I'm so sorry.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31I didn't mean to be rude earlier.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33I can tell you're a decent man.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38The idea that part of Tony lives on in you,

0:14:38 > 0:14:40it's of some comfort.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Are you OK?

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Are you OK?

0:15:02 > 0:15:03Are you OK?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07No.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09Sorry. I need to go.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19OK, here's the line.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21"Come on, Mary. We're almost there."

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Come on...

0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Mary.- Mary.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29We're almost there.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32There. Exactly. OK, OK. That's good. That's a really good start.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34But, now, let's try and do it better than that.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Let's just focus. Let's think about who Joseph is,

0:15:37 > 0:15:38what type of a man he is.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41He's a good man. He's a caring man.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44He's married to Mary, who has a baby in her tummy,

0:15:44 > 0:15:45who's the son of God as it turns out.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Actually that is quite confusing.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50OK, dinner's ready.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Can you just keep it warm because we are not quite finished here?

0:15:53 > 0:15:55Darling, aren't you taking this a little bit too seriously?

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Think what a confidence booster it will be.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00His first leading role.

0:16:00 > 0:16:01It's his first Nativity.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04We're not going to care if he gets cast as one of the sheep, you know?

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- He'll be happy. - Our son is not a sheep.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09He's St Joseph.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- I just hope he enjoys it. - He'll enjoy it!

0:16:13 > 0:16:15OK. We're going to enjoy it, aren't we?

0:16:15 > 0:16:18"Come on, Mary. We're almost there."

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Try again.- Come on, Mary.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22We're almost there.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24See?

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Oh, thank you. I'm sure it will be very much appreciated.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, Mr Hickson.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Are you all right?

0:16:48 > 0:16:50You really do not look very well.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57It was then that I realised I was actually still wearing my headphones!

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- THEY LAUGH - So embarrassing.

0:17:05 > 0:17:06The road to ruin?

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Excuse me?

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Your cocktail?

0:17:10 > 0:17:14Oh, ah, no. It's something called a Monkey Gland, apparently.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Really? Good choice.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Let me get you another.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24Er, actually, I think I'll sit this one out, if that's all right?

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Fair enough.

0:17:32 > 0:17:33On second thoughts...

0:17:35 > 0:17:37If you insist,

0:17:37 > 0:17:39maybe I will have another.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41What would you recommend?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I know just the thing.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45I bet you do.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51What's wrong? You look terrible.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53He is very fragile.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55How much have you been drinking?

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Bill called earlier. I thought you were out with him.

0:18:02 > 0:18:03I haven't been drinking.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's my liver. It's Tony's liver.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Your liver?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11What's wrong with your liver?

0:18:11 > 0:18:12It doesn't belong.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16My body's rejecting it!

0:18:19 > 0:18:23I was in Malaysia for a few months, followed by Singapore.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I'd run out of money by then.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30I worked as a bellhop until I could afford the plane fare home

0:18:30 > 0:18:33and then I wondered why I didn't stay put.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Do you miss it?

0:18:35 > 0:18:36I miss the adventure.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39England's a bit too tame for my liking.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Still, I manage to get my thrills where I can find them.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Did, erm, did you say you were a student?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Post-grad.- Ah. OK.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51I managed to get a scholarship.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Good for you.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Downside is, I've got to knock about with a bunch of 18-year-olds.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58We don't have much in common.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59That's why I like getting out,

0:18:59 > 0:19:04meeting more interesting people.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Like you.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Is that a polite way of saying I'm old?

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Course not. You can't be much older than me.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I love the lighting in this place.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, what do you do?

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Ah, well, you see, I work for MI5.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25My official title is International Woman of Mystery.

0:19:25 > 0:19:26THEY LAUGH

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Really?- No, not really.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31I'm just a boring old GP.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33A doctor?

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Impressive.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Which practice do you work at? - Do you mind if we don't talk shop?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's just that I've had a bit of a week

0:19:41 > 0:19:43and I'd rather not think about it.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Of course. Let me get you a drink.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47No, no, no. It's my round.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Same again?

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Yeah.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Could we...?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56'Has he been taking his meds?'

0:19:56 > 0:19:59I'm not sure, but I will check.

0:19:59 > 0:20:00Tell them to consult the transplant unit,

0:20:00 > 0:20:04but if he's taking the drugs, it's unlikely that the liver is being rejected.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05They help to prevent that.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08So it is probably some sort of stomach bug?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Or food poisoning. What's he eaten in the last 24 hours?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13Oh. All right. I will ask.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15What have you eaten in the last 24 hours?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17What haven't I eaten?

0:20:17 > 0:20:22He's not sure, but I think he might have overindulged.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Do you think this sickness will run its course?

0:20:24 > 0:20:25I would hope so,

0:20:25 > 0:20:28but the drugs make him more susceptible to a secondary illness or infection.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30They're immunosuppressants.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33So a trip to St Phil's is in order?

0:20:33 > 0:20:35'Absolutely. It's not worth taking the risk.'

0:20:35 > 0:20:37Given the transplant and his high temperature,

0:20:37 > 0:20:38he needs medical attention.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40He should have gone up an hour ago.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Well, I will keep you informed. Thank you, Dr Carmichael.

0:20:43 > 0:20:44I hope I have not disrupted your film.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Film? If only!

0:20:46 > 0:20:49No rest for the wicked, Mrs Tembe. I'll see you tomorrow.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50- Goodbye.- Bye.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52OK. I'm going to take him up now. He's exhausted.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Look, please, he is just so nearly perfect.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Right, well, we need to take you to St Phil's.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Have you been taking your immunosuppressant drugs?

0:21:04 > 0:21:05Of course.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Then it is unlikely that the liver is being rejected.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09I feel like death.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11It is probably something you've eaten,

0:21:11 > 0:21:13but I do not blame the restaurant.

0:21:13 > 0:21:18Food poisoning can take at least two hours to manifest itself.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19What restaurant?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I thought you went to the pub.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31One more for the road?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Didn't you say that about the last one?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, the night is still young.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37You're right,

0:21:37 > 0:21:39but I could use a pick-me-up.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44Do you know what I really fancy?

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Oh, do tell.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49A double espresso.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Sounds nice,

0:21:50 > 0:21:55but, well, I am very sensitive to caffeine.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Sometimes I can be up all night.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Oh, really?

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Well, that's not always such a bad thing...

0:22:07 > 0:22:08..is it?

0:22:08 > 0:22:10No, not always.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I can offer you a cup of instant... - Ah.- ..back at my place.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Wow, that's tempting,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20but I have a machine.

0:22:22 > 0:22:23- A machine?- Mm-hm.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26Espresso.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42I don't even know your name.

0:22:45 > 0:22:46Max.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47I'm Emma.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Shall we get a cab, Max?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Don't tell me he's still awake.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02We're getting on marvellously.

0:23:02 > 0:23:03It's 20 to ten.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05He's going to be falling asleep during his audition.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09If it were left up to you, we wouldn't even know there was an audition.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Come on, Joe. Just one more time before...

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Your fry-up this morning. Did you even cook it properly?

0:23:26 > 0:23:28It's not only your health you're jeopardizing,

0:23:28 > 0:23:29it's that of our customers.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32They'd run a mile if they knew you were handling raw meat in our kitchen.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36I don't know what's got into you.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37Not sure I know myself.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43A liver transplant, well, it is a very traumatic event.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47And like any trauma, it can have some very strong emotional effects.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Maybe it's a mid-life thing.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Some guys buy a sports car, take to booze or drugs

0:23:52 > 0:23:54and with me, it's meat.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57That's all this is?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Who did you take to the restaurant?

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Are you having an affair?

0:24:08 > 0:24:11THEY LAUGH

0:24:11 > 0:24:12Come here.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22EMMA LAUGHS

0:24:40 > 0:24:42Tony's life was cut short in his prime.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44But, me, I've been given a second chance.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I should feel lucky, grateful to be alive,

0:24:46 > 0:24:48but instead I just feel depressed.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51They offered you counselling after the op but you turned it down.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53I thought I'd be happier when I was back on my feet,

0:24:53 > 0:24:55but if anything, I just felt worse.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59Liver transplant drugs can have some adverse side-effects,

0:24:59 > 0:25:01including depression.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05There's not much I can do about that, is there? I'm stuck with these pills for the rest of my life.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Perhaps it is time to take stock.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11Count your blessings, not least the love and support of your wife.

0:25:13 > 0:25:14I know.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18I only pretend to take her for granted.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20You could've fooled me.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23I am going to leave you alone to get some rest.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28Thank you, Mrs Tembe. You've been a gem.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29Yes. Thank you.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30You take care.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37What's this?

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Hospital cuisine.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Do you think you'll have an appetite tomorrow?

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Maybe.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Broccoli quiche or liver, bacon and mashed potato.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51I'd choose very carefully if I were you.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52Oh, it's a no-brainer.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55It's got to be the quiche, hasn't it?

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Yeah, if you want to stay married.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58THEY LAUGH

0:26:00 > 0:26:01I hate mashed potato.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03SHE LAUGHS

0:27:10 > 0:27:12The main thing is that Joe's part of the experience.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14But he wants a good part.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16I mean, he doesn't want to be a palm tree or a camel.

0:27:16 > 0:27:17Camel?!

0:27:18 > 0:27:20You're not taking my money, David!

0:27:20 > 0:27:22I told you before, it's my money.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24I know that's a foreign concept to you people.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26"People"?

0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'd like you all to look at the footprints

0:27:29 > 0:27:31in your lives.
