0:00:29 > 0:00:32# Goodbye, the fire has stopped burning

0:00:32 > 0:00:36# The bellows lie dead in the road

0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Goodbye, the mill has stopped turning

0:00:44 > 0:00:49# The miller has changed to a toad

0:00:51 > 0:00:56# Goodbye, the journey was topping

0:00:57 > 0:01:02# We saw all we wanted to see

0:01:04 > 0:01:09# I really don't think I'll be stopping

0:01:10 > 0:01:15# I think I'll go home and have tea. #

0:01:16 > 0:01:19You don't mind clambering up there do you, Sergeant?

0:01:19 > 0:01:20New suit.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22You know what this is, don't you?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25What? Breaking Bad.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28They see some guy in a fumigation suit or some other bloke

0:01:28 > 0:01:31with a face mask and it's all the 3-9s.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33"It's a meth lab!" Is that right?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Is this of ANY interest to CID at all?

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Does it look remotely like a drug factory?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Just give me a minute. I'm CID, my time's not cheap.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I shouldn't be dealing with this.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45So what do you see?

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Nothing?

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Waste of time?

0:01:48 > 0:01:50'Course it is.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Anything? No narcotics? No, nothing at all.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Like I said. Yeah, you were right, Sir.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Come on then. You can get back to clearing up your human detritus.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02'How's it going with that swarm of

0:02:02 > 0:02:05'homeless losers? Sponges, that's what they are.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07'sucking up resources.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10'You can't help them. My tax and they chuck benefits at them

0:02:10 > 0:02:14'and what are they? Even bigger burdens on the state.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17'How does anyone let themselves get that bad, eh?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18'I ask you.'

0:02:23 > 0:02:25ON LAPTOP: 'Bless you all!' MRS TEMBE LAUGHS

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Divine intervention! Oh, what now?

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Doctor Al Haskey has spent the night at the home of a vicar.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Oh, he'll have hated that. Oh, I don't think so.

0:02:35 > 0:02:40According to this, SHE is rather "excellent!" She?!

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Mysterious ways. Emma. Jimmi. I just wanted to say thank you

0:02:46 > 0:02:48for looking after Cam yesterday.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51You're welcome. I listened to your message and I held his hand.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53It seemed to help a bit.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55He was pretty upset about losing all his clothes though.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Forensics had to bag them all up.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01But, um, I managed to find him a coat, so... I think by the end he was OK.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03But you don't know where he went? Sorry.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09Hey, listen, you two, I've got something to say and it's deadly serious.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12About my rescue mission, last Wednesday.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15I don't want Al to know you know. So keep it zipped, OK?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18She's talking about you.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20You.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27You'll let me know the arrangements?

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Mum pre-paid. A pre-paid plan. Nothing fancy.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32She'll not want flowers.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36She couldn't abide the waste of flowers at funerals.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I'd like to be there.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43That'd be nice. Not having to see her off on my own.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I was exceptionally fond of your mother.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Come on, Andrew, jump in and I'll give you a lift to the bungalow.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52You don't have to.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I know that you had to sell your car.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Gloria told me.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01That's very decent of you, Dr Carmichael.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02It's not a day for buses.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Hey, hey, wait! Wait! I'm discharged now.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Just hang on a minute.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28You can't stop me going. What do you want? Um, You've been given some dressings.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32It's really important you let the wound heal over. Let it dry. Yeah, I'm not stupid.

0:04:33 > 0:04:34Come on.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Thanks. Yeah, um...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's my contact details.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm not hard to find, you know, if you need me.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51I am not saying that you will need me, but if you did.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56I wouldn't do anything to jeopardise her safety, I really wouldn't, Dave.

0:04:56 > 0:04:57Fair enough.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Have you really found somewhere to stay?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Dave! Come on!

0:05:14 > 0:05:16There. I am sorry, Andrew,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I don't mean to impose. No, no, no, it's fine.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Turn right and it's on the right.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23Bulb's gone. Sorry.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33More tea, Vicar? Please don't.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Look, we went over this last night, didn't we?

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Let's just pretend the whole thing never happened.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40That's what I'm doing. Fine. Right.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yes. That's going to be easy isn't it?

0:05:42 > 0:05:46What kind of Christian hospitality is it when a vicar offers herself to her guest?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49"Let's just forget it!" What, forget that I flashed you my gear?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52You were upset. It was a misunderstanding.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have hugged you.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58I needed that hug.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02You are such a gentleman and now I've ruined our friendship before it's even begun.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Whoa. Who said we were friends?

0:06:04 > 0:06:07That's a little bit presumptuous, Kirsty, you're crossing the line there.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09What's wrong with me? Nothing!

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Nothing is wrong with you! Man up, woman!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Find the things that you want. Stop surrounding yourself

0:06:16 > 0:06:19with past misery. What is it you want? You wanted to do your singing thing.

0:06:19 > 0:06:24Please, drop it. It's not that easy. It IS that easy! You just find a song in your heart

0:06:24 > 0:06:26and you let it out your mouth. Please...

0:06:26 > 0:06:28# Singing songs! #

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I haven't got the time! Then make the time. Why does it even matter to you?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35It matters to me because...

0:06:35 > 0:06:38someone I like is messing themselves up.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And that someone is you.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43OK.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46But only if you come with me.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49You're going into Lichfield anyway.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52I will not set foot in that cathedral.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55What if I said I can't do it on my own?

0:06:55 > 0:06:58I will not set foot in that cathedral.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18KNOCK ON FRONT DOOR OF HOUSE

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Open up!

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Andrew, what's going on?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28How long has the electricity been off?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31How could I look after Mum and go to work?

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I couldn't. Of course. There's been no money.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37What about unemployment benefit? Not if you leave a job.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40So you didn't apply for a carer's allowance then, did you?

0:07:42 > 0:07:43What is going on?

0:07:49 > 0:07:50You've got nothing to lose, Kirsty.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Stop distracting me.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59I had a friend who had a vegetable garden.

0:07:59 > 0:08:06My mate used to grow prize-winning marrows, potatoes and other things you'd find in a vegetable garden.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Flapjacks for the soup kitchen. Please, leave me be.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Well, what my mate really wanted to grow was flowers.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Now, he knew the importance of his five-a-day veg

0:08:14 > 0:08:18but petunias, roses, agapanthus,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20that's what made his heart a-flutter.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I know you're making this up. I'm not making it up,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26it's a true story! My mate's name was...

0:08:26 > 0:08:27It was Percy.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30So what happened? Cross-pollination.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35His veg was never finer nor more fecund, and Percy himself,

0:08:35 > 0:08:39well, he was happy because he had his flowers.

0:08:39 > 0:08:43I cannot believe you're trying to parable me.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, some people put a lot of store by parables.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48I know Percy did.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55"Notice to quit" may not need to be taken literally.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58But in any case, you've got nothing to lose, Andrew. You're right.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'll go to the housing office. Excellent.

0:09:01 > 0:09:07They'll understand, won't they? When I explain about Mum being ill and passing away.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11It's not like I've ever been a scrounger. I'm sure they'll listen.

0:09:11 > 0:09:16At the job centre when I told them I'd left work, well...

0:09:16 > 0:09:19But this is different. They have to help people who really need help.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24Let me know how you get on. Yes, yes. How can they help me if I don't ask them to? They can't.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I'll let you know what happens, soon as I've got it sorted.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Be sure that you do.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38So there's been no sign of Cam Lewis? 'Wherever he is, he's not attracting our attention.'

0:09:38 > 0:09:40He could be anywhere.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Where are they supposed to go, Rob? People like Cam? Where? You didn't hear this from me, right,

0:09:44 > 0:09:47but up on the Bairstow Business Park, there's

0:09:47 > 0:09:49an empty office. It used to be a paper mill.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Somebody might be setting up a squat there.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Might be. Might be? Give it a few hours

0:09:54 > 0:09:58and word'll get around. But you did not hear it from me, OK?

0:09:58 > 0:10:00All right, thanks, Rob. Bye.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Are they...?

0:10:16 > 0:10:20They're new, aren't they? Out of plastic, not out of a skip.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23There's no pee, poo or blood stains and there's no bed bugs.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I got a deal.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33I got a spark to hook us in. It's all safe and totally illegal.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Re-routes-R-Us.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39All this space! Will there be others?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42There's another four rooms, they'll soon be full - word got out.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46There's loos, there's even hot water.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48I reckon this'll do us right until the baby comes and then

0:10:48 > 0:10:51we'll take it from there, whatever you want to do.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54How did you get this, eh? How?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's safe, that's all that matters.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I can't stop thinking about Tommy... Don't.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04..floating in the water.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09Shaz, he met the wrong people in the wrong place.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I know.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15New mattresses! Hot water.

0:11:16 > 0:11:21Spill it, Dave Preston, where'd you get this kind of money from?

0:11:21 > 0:11:24You withdrew ?2,000 from the joint account?

0:11:24 > 0:11:29Yes, I did. I needed cash. What for?!

0:11:29 > 0:11:32To maintain the domain on The Granger Clinic website

0:11:32 > 0:11:35and to pay for some top drawer SEO.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Search engine... Optimisation, yes, I know what that is.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42And you paid for this in cash? Yeah, because it greases the wheels.

0:11:42 > 0:11:47As does a bank transfer. Oh, Daniel, this isn't dodgy, is it?

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Of course it's not. OK, cash is trendy.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Hipsters need cash to shop in pop-up shops.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Your tech guys are hipsters?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Yeah, they play darts in their office in an ironic, postmodern way.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Honestly, Daniel! This had better be above board.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03You did get an invoice, did you?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yeah.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Fine, in the spirit of financial openness I feel like I should

0:12:09 > 0:12:13mention my new coat. Your new coat?

0:12:13 > 0:12:15I may have given you the impression it was rather

0:12:15 > 0:12:17more of a bargain than it actually was.

0:12:17 > 0:12:22It wasn't ?180, it was ?680.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Which is neither ironic, nor postmodern.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36See, what we need here is a time machine.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Had you applied for Carer's Allowance

0:12:41 > 0:12:45when you first moved back, this could have been a whole other story.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49She was me mother. I didn't want to be paid for looking after her.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53There are always problems with retrospectives.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56If you'd entered into communication with your landlord earlier...

0:12:56 > 0:13:00He wasn't my landlord. There's nothing I can do about the eviction.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Now, I've been looking at a hostel.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07Well, I mean, if I have to, but not for long.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11When I get the funeral out the way I'll get a job

0:13:11 > 0:13:14and find a flat, or a room - I don't need much.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Yeah, but there's a problem. There was a hostel

0:13:17 > 0:13:19I thought might have a space, Burr House.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22I know where it is - it's not far. Yeah, but it turns out

0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm using old data.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's shut down as of Monday.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Oh. Redevelopment.

0:13:30 > 0:13:36Oh. So my best advice is to try the hostels and B in Birmingham.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40Birmingham? I mean, they're stretched but there's a chance

0:13:40 > 0:13:43if you knock on the doors there might be a last minute place

0:13:43 > 0:13:45or someone hasn't turned up.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50But what's essential is that you get and keep a roof over your head

0:13:50 > 0:13:54because then it'll be so much easier to get a job.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00I don't need much. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Really, I am.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'll let you know how I get on.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Support services have been outsourced.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Nobody will be here next week. Outsourced?

0:14:15 > 0:14:17So you're... Redundant, yeah.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23HE INHALES Thank you.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Oh, wow, that is what I call a stick!

0:14:29 > 0:14:33It's for you. Yeah, but how's Gandalf going to cope without it?

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Ric was a Tolkien nerd. If he knew I was giving this away,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39he'd be incandescent. Then I accept it with pleasure.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Thank you. Turn the big lock and stuff these

0:14:41 > 0:14:44through the letterbox when you leave. Why?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Where are you going? I've got some errands to run

0:14:46 > 0:14:47and I'll need to get a wiggle on

0:14:47 > 0:14:49if I'm going to make it to the cathedral.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Oh, she's going to do it. Yes! You manned up! I'm so pleased.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56So what's it going to be? It's going to be Bette Midler, right?

0:14:56 > 0:14:57I'm manning up, I'm not going nuts.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Come on, Wind Beneath My Wings. Thank you.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07It was the parable that did it, wasn't it?

0:15:11 > 0:15:14I know this is going to drive you nuts, but...

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I don't care.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23I thank the Lord for bringing you into my life.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26And I pray that He'll keep His eye on you.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28OK. All done?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's fine. Just, you know, as long as you don't bless me.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Thank you. No, thank you.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35(Bless you.)

0:15:35 > 0:15:37HE EXHALES

0:15:37 > 0:15:39SHE LAUGHS, HE SIGHS

0:15:39 > 0:15:40Good luck.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44KNOCKING ON DOOR Come in.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48I don't want to be a bother.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50No, you're not. Come in.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55How did you get on?

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Not so good.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Really? I'm going back home to the bungalow

0:15:59 > 0:16:02to pack a few bits up, then I've got to try

0:16:02 > 0:16:06and find a hostel or a B and B, probably in Birmingham.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Really?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Oh, it's no good saying, "Oh, poor me."

0:16:11 > 0:16:15Not now. I'm the one who buried his head in the sand.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'm the one who let this happen.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Andrew, a-are you all right for cash?

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh, don't do that, Dr Carmichael.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26No, of course not. Sorry.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28I just popped by to let you know what's what.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I've got a few quid put by for emergencies at home.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34I'll be all right. I just p-p...

0:16:38 > 0:16:40You said to let you know.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43And thanks again for this morning.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47What a day, eh?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48What a day.

0:16:53 > 0:16:54DOOR CLICKS SHUT

0:17:02 > 0:17:04PHONE RINGS

0:17:05 > 0:17:07SHE SIGHS

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Cam!

0:17:14 > 0:17:16Yes, it's me.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Oh, Shaz, what happened in the hospital?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Is the baby all right? What about you?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I'm fine. Really?

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Had a little operation, but me and the baby are OK.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29They cut you open? Just a tiny bit.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Mate, glad you found us.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah. What about you?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36I heard.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38How could they think it were you?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39(Come here.)

0:17:44 > 0:17:45Do you want an orange? Mm.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Vitamin C. You have to look after yourself, Shaz.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'd have told anybody - anybody that asked me...

0:17:52 > 0:17:55you wouldn't have hurt Tommy. I tried to help Tommy.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I'm sorry I wasn't around. I'm sorry you had to be in the hospital.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01I've got it covered. Good, good. Really good.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Everything is. No. Not Tommy.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Tommy tried to talk to me and he couldn't.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11What do you mean he couldn't? Because his mouth was full of blood.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22'My name is Tommy and I want to talk to you about being homeless.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23'It's horrible.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28'When I decided to do this vlog, I was mostly worried

0:18:28 > 0:18:30'about two things -

0:18:30 > 0:18:32'being cold and frightened.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35'I thought most rough sleepers had mental health issues.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38'Some of them do...

0:18:38 > 0:18:40'but mostly homeless people are angry.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44'And they are cold. Physically cold.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48'Sometimes they are literally freezing.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54'I mean, get that cold and anybody would take drugs.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57'And anybody would want a drink.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59'Trust me, the cold can make you mad.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06'OK, think of a tramp.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10'What do you think of?

0:19:10 > 0:19:14'A picturesque old-timer with silver stubble and

0:19:14 > 0:19:18'a knotted hankie at the end of a stick?

0:19:18 > 0:19:20'Knight of the road?

0:19:20 > 0:19:23'That's rot. Imagine your grandmother

0:19:23 > 0:19:26'living on the streets with nothing to eat.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31'People become homeless when they're not strong,

0:19:31 > 0:19:33'when they are dealing with bereavement,

0:19:33 > 0:19:37'or illness, or there's a crisis in their lives.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40'And the constant question remains, "Why do they let it happen?"

0:19:41 > 0:19:44'That's easy. But how can we stop it?

0:19:44 > 0:19:46'I don't know.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50'But what I do know, is that homeless people are ordinary people,

0:19:50 > 0:19:54'and that homelessness HAPPENED to them.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56'After all, we're all three pay cheques away

0:19:56 > 0:19:59'from it happening to us.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01'Homeless people do get angry.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05'And with no power and no control, it will make you that way.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08'It'll also make you scared.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11'I'm scared.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14'This is Tommy, and I'm signing out.'

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Erasmus Darwin was a physician

0:20:21 > 0:20:25and a poet, whose diverse interests included

0:20:25 > 0:20:29biology, botany and technology.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33He lived right here, in the heart of Lichfield,

0:20:33 > 0:20:37from 1756 until 1781.

0:20:37 > 0:20:41Lichfield being some 37 miles...

0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'm going to repeat that for them. Erasmus.

0:20:43 > 0:20:4937 long, hard, hilly, sore-on-my-feet miles

0:20:49 > 0:20:51from Letherbridge.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Erasmus was, of course,

0:20:53 > 0:20:56grandfather to Mr Origin of Species, Charles Darwin.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Charlie's grandpa sure did set the bar high.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05OK, now come this way, and try and get the silhouette in.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Erasmus numbered amongst

0:21:10 > 0:21:12his friends some of the worlds great thinkers

0:21:12 > 0:21:15and most awe-inspiring minds.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18Benjamin Franklin, James Watt,

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Josiah Wedgwood, William Small,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Matthew Boulton. It's quite a club.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28The legendary Lunar Society.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31They used to meet in the 1760s at Soho House in Birmingham,

0:21:31 > 0:21:35but also probably right in this very room.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37HE SNIFFS

0:21:37 > 0:21:40It's a shame that my phone hasn't got Smell-O-Vision,

0:21:40 > 0:21:42cos there's a distinct whiff of... HE SNIFFS

0:21:42 > 0:21:44..genius in the air.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47They called themselves the Lunar Society, or "lunarticks",

0:21:47 > 0:21:51because they used to meet on nights with a full moon.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53There's no street lamps, no cat's eyes,

0:21:53 > 0:21:58no infra red - the moonlight brought them together,

0:21:58 > 0:22:00and it lit their way home again.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Thank you. I'll take it from here. Cheers, I really appreciate it.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07A herbalist and a healer -

0:22:07 > 0:22:10the original inventor of the stabilising axel -

0:22:10 > 0:22:13four jointed rods in the form of an isosceles trapezium -

0:22:13 > 0:22:17which remains central in motor engineering, even today.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19He believed in equality.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22He predicted mechanical flight.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25This was an extraordinary man!

0:22:25 > 0:22:28He is my hero.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32The, erm... The three spires of Lichfield Cathedral,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34where Erasmus attended.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38And where his notions of equality and freedom

0:22:38 > 0:22:41were preached against with derision and scorn.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43This is really cool.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Now, this used to be the front door.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49But when Erasmus fell out with the Church and God,

0:22:49 > 0:22:52he redesigned his house, and made this the back door.

0:22:52 > 0:22:53That showed 'em.

0:22:54 > 0:22:55HE CLAPS DOOR KNOCKER

0:22:57 > 0:22:58Erasmus Darwin, are you in today?

0:23:01 > 0:23:02THUNDER RUMBLES, BIRDS CAW

0:23:13 > 0:23:15THUNDER RUMBLES

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Who are you? I'm...looking for Cam. I'm his doctor.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35What's this, then - home visit?(!)

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Is he here? How did you find out about "here"?

0:23:38 > 0:23:41I heard. Who from? It doesn't really matter, I just...

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Can't trust him.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44You know him?

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Whoa. Dave.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Look, shout us if you need us, yeah?

0:23:54 > 0:23:55We're just here.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I just wanted to explain... You let me down.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09They would have ID'd you, Cam. They would have come for you,

0:24:09 > 0:24:11and they wouldn't have come lightly.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14I couldn't get out of court... I couldn't get out cos they locked me up.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17I made sure Emma looked after you, though.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Made sure she understood.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22She held your hand? Mm.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26It's good she held my hand. You thought you saw me stab him.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28You shoved your hands in your pockets and you walked away.

0:24:28 > 0:24:33No, It wasn't like that - I didn't know what I'd seen. Me and Tommy.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I held on till I had to let him go.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Emma told me she got you a new coat.

0:24:41 > 0:24:42Yeah.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45I'm here if you need me.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I don't.

0:24:49 > 0:24:55# Amazing Grace

0:24:55 > 0:24:58# How sweet the sound... #

0:24:58 > 0:25:00THEY CHATTER AGGRESSIVELY

0:25:14 > 0:25:18# I once was lost

0:25:20 > 0:25:25# But now I'm found

0:26:14 > 0:26:18# Me home... #

0:26:24 > 0:26:26She wants us to test drive this new software

0:26:26 > 0:26:28that she's installed, so we can talk via the computer.

0:26:28 > 0:26:29Oh, like Facetime?

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I did try to tempt him with a tin of salmon when we got home,

0:26:32 > 0:26:35but he just sat and glared at me from inside the tumble dryer.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38'Hello? Are you receiving me at The Mill?'

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Oh! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:27:13 > 0:27:16'Dear Vic, my news is that unexpectedly

0:27:16 > 0:27:19'I'm a live-in nanny for a single mum with two boys in North London.'

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Nina?

0:27:21 > 0:27:22Do you actually like children?

0:27:22 > 0:27:23Boys!

0:27:23 > 0:27:26If I didn't it'd be a silly time to say so, wouldn't it?

0:27:26 > 0:27:28'I think I might be happy here,

0:27:28 > 0:27:31'even though the best looking boy in the street

0:27:31 > 0:27:33'already thinks I'm hopeless.'
