0:02:43 > 0:02:47No. Vlad, the destroyer of human relationships.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49I think you'll find he was more an impaler.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Whatever, he's pretty antisocial.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52'You sound grumpy.'

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Oh, talk of the devil! Professor Wilson.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I was just singing your praises.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35has just come into the library.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Ah, Ms Arbuthnott, just the person.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Ah, that's a better aroma, the scent of a woman!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04I don't know, what have you forgotten?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07When I got out of the car this morning, I had a reminder
0:04:07 > 0:04:11on my phone, and you thought that it was for something significant.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12And it wasn't?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Well, that hurts.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Oh, for goodness' sake, I can't be bothered!

0:04:32 > 0:04:33For goodness' sake.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36When are you ever going to reach the age of maturity?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39So, come on, what was it for?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43If you must know, it was a reminder, to remind me
0:04:43 > 0:04:46that today is the day that Letherbridge Life comes out.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You said you weren't interested.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Yes, all right! But you were the one who let them into our home
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- to do a photographic feature. What say did I have?- Not a lot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I think I have a right to see that our home is displayed properly.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I had better be.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14Come in.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Thank you.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Are you all right?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26You looked flushed.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Bit of a headache.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Could be migraines, I don't know.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31You should get it checked out.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I've got some paracetamol if you want.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You should take your jacket off as well, it's quite stuffy in here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41No, wait...
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I just wondered if you'd...
0:05:47 > 0:05:49..seen my...phone?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16That's exactly what I'm talking about.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Afraid I don't know what you mean, old mate.- Of course you do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20This sniping and undermining,
0:06:20 > 0:06:24this constant reference to my...body odour.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I know it's you who's been putting soap and talc in my pigeon hole.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Together with nasty notes - hints on BO.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Not me.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Don't lie.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Just doing you a favour, old son.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41You smell. You need to sort out your personal hygiene.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Why are you doing this?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Keep your eyes off Ms Arbuthnott.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I don't know what she sees in you, but apparently there's something.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Don't get your hopes up -
0:06:52 > 0:06:54she's probably like that with all the hopeless cases.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Go away!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Aw, he looks like a real life internet spod, doesn't he?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I guess, if that's what they're supposed to look like.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, yeah, it's all scruffy jeans and T-shirts these days.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13He's in his Sunday best,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15like Mummy's dressed him up for the occasion.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18And you look ridiculously pleased with yourself.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20No change there, then.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Al, is that a cravat?- Perhaps.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Daniel, what are the chances that Zara's going to get
0:07:24 > 0:07:26the golf clubs out again?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Well, I know that she's looking forward to seeing them.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Well, that's a good sign, then, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Isn't it?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Hi... Would you like to come on in?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Dr Vere, could I have a quick word?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Yeah. Just go on in.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55That's Professor Wilson. He's complaining of headaches
0:07:55 > 0:07:59but I think he's also suffering from Trimethylaminuria.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00What?
0:08:00 > 0:08:01I've never heard of it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Anyway, how would you know? - Oh, my uncle had it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It's a chemical deficiency. It makes you smell,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10also known as Fish Odour Syndrome.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Yeah, he's dead now, poor soul.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13He went deaf and then he died.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Deafness isn't fatal.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It is if you don't hear the lorry that knocks you over.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Anyway, he joined a support group. - What, for deaf people?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24No, for sufferers of Trimethylaminuria. Keep up.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Anyway, I could get you the details.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Right, yeah... Thanks.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Sorry about that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Please, take a seat.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37In fact, maybe...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39take your jacket off first.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Is that necessary?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Well... Headaches, was it?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47It is rare, but headaches and hypertension are sometimes linked,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50so I will need to take your blood pressure.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Here, let me.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58It's a travesty.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03They haven't even shown the room, just some picture of a slob
0:09:03 > 0:09:06reclining in a leather armchair in front of a window!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09They've turned this into some kind of a crummy bachelor pad.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11They may have well littered the place with some of those
0:09:11 > 0:09:13disgusting men's magazines!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14Listen to this -
0:09:14 > 0:09:17"Dr Al relaxes his giant brain in his spacious lounge.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20"When he's not inventing life saving computer apps, Dr Al
0:09:20 > 0:09:23"loves nothing more than chilling on his sleek leather recliner."
0:09:23 > 0:09:25"But does he need a bit of feminine input into this, clearly,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27"bachelor lifestyle environment?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30"What do you think, ladies? Any suggestions?"
0:09:31 > 0:09:34So, you've...you've seen it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37You do need to tone down on the washing and the scrubbing,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39you're going too hard on your skin and it's not good.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41But I need to deal with the smell!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I know, but...
0:09:42 > 0:09:44you're overdoing it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48So, what are my choices?
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Well, we deal with the condition.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Which is what?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Trimethylaminuria. Or, at least it would appear to be.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57It's a metabolic disorder.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Normally trimethylamine, which smells,
0:10:01 > 0:10:05is rendered odourless by an enzyme called FMO3.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08But this doesn't happen to people with the syndrome.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10The chemical still needs to escape somehow, so it does so
0:10:10 > 0:10:12through other means.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Through the urine and sweat, for instance.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Unfortunately, it does have a rather unpleasant smell,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20hence also being known as fish odour syndrome.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22And that's what I have?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Subject to me getting the urine test results back.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And, if it is confirmed, we'll just refer you to a specialist.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30But it is a medical condition?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Yeah. Absolutely.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34My God!
0:10:36 > 0:10:37But I've been to doctors before.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39They've just told me to wash thoroughly.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Why haven't they told me about this?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Well, it is very rare. I might have said the same thing,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48but fortunately our receptionist had a relative with the same condition
0:10:48 > 0:10:50so she was able to give me the heads-up.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So...
0:10:52 > 0:10:53what happens now?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Well, the bad news is, there is no cure.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58The good news is it can be managed through just a few changes
0:10:58 > 0:11:00to your diet, and, I see here,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03there is also a support group you can contact.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Valerie, our receptionist, will give you the contact details.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Cancelled? Well, that's not very convenient. Why?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18No, I've already said I don't want Chantale. I want Michael.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Il est tres sympathique avec ma cheval.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You don't speak French...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27So, why do you call yourself Pierre?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Honestly!
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Better?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I am now, thanks to you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Oh, go on!- I mean it.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's my lucky day, meeting you.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Well, in that case, could I ask you for something?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Whatever you want. - Look, I hope you don't mind
0:11:47 > 0:11:50but I've been looking you up on the university website.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- You're famous!- Well...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- You've written books.- Well, four...
0:11:54 > 0:11:56And they're all set in medieval times.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That's my field, yes. Medieval anthropology.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Oh, I love things set in medieval times.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Are you familiar with Lady De Vere's Desire?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Er... No.- Lady De Vere's Dilemma?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- The Curse of Lady de Vere?- No.- No?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Oh. Well, you'd love them. Real insight to those times.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18When men were men, swashbuckling their way into demure ladies hearts.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Not like today, when ladies are expected to buy their own lunch.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Of course, my Lady De Vere doesn't really exist,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29she's only in my romantic fiction novels.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33But probably based on fact.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39The De Veres were Earls of Oxford from 1141 through to 1703,
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and there were several Lady De Veres.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Oh, so you know all about her?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48In that case, could I have one of your books signed, maybe?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I would love to read about the real Lady De Vere.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Well, I haven't actually written on them.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I just know about them from the...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57medieval world I inhabit.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Oh, that doesn't matter, I'd love to read about that world!
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Of course, then.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And...
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Dr Vere said you might have some information for me?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Silly me. Sorry. I haven't got around to it yet.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11I've been rushed off my feet.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Surfing the net?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Yes, and...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16well, other things.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Have you got a number that I could contact you on?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20And I'll get you the details.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Or I could come back.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've got a seminar now, but if I pop back later?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Perfect.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- PHONE RINGS - Hello, campus surgery.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- AIR FRESHENER SPRAYS - Valerie speaking, how can I help?
0:13:34 > 0:13:35I'm probably overreacting,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- but, you know me and Rob are talking about fostering?- Mm-hmm.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Well...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43the social worker came over yesterday, and she was all very nice
0:13:43 > 0:13:47but suddenly she made it sound all very real,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49whereas, before...
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It was just something you were considering?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57And then Valerie said something this morning about social workers
0:13:57 > 0:13:59being very nice on the surface,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02while all the time they're burrowing into your soul
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- and I think she's right. - What do you mean?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I was just... I was blathering on, and I got all flustered,
0:14:09 > 0:14:14and before I knew it I was talking about my memory problems, and...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And then I completely lost it,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and I'm just so worried that I've blown it for us.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It is about the machine.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Is it?- Mm-hmm.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Absolutely.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28You're feeling...undervalued.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32You're feeling like you're losing your point of contact with people,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35and so it's making you feel a bit redundant.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Which I am.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Yeah, and so that's making you feel insecure.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41And you're transferring those feelings
0:14:41 > 0:14:43onto the idea of the fostering.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45And you really shouldn't, because the two things are,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- well, they're entirely different. - No, but I do have memory problems.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Yeah, and you've told the social worker, so there's no worries.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Let's not forget, you've been there, you've raised kids,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56you know what is what.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And dealing with difficulties...
0:14:59 > 0:15:01that's one of the most important life lessons that
0:15:01 > 0:15:03you can pass on to foster kids.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Thanks, Rhuma.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It's all part of the service.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09No, if you're sure, I will, um...
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- DOOR OPENS - I'll see you there. Bye.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18What's up?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19Nothing.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20You think I was Zara?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I did for a moment. Yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24That was the University of Letherbridge,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26the computer science department.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27One of the lecturers wants me
0:15:27 > 0:15:30to go in and give a talk to the students about my app.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Well, I'm not surprised.- Aren't you?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34No. I mean, it's a good example of what IT's for.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah, but I'm... I'm not exactly qualified, am I?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38I mean, developing an app is one thing,
0:15:38 > 0:15:40but going to talk to students, you know,
0:15:40 > 0:15:42a group of computer experts, that's something else.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Oh, come on. You're more an expert than they are, and you're a celebrity
0:15:45 > 0:15:48now, cos of the internet. So, comes with the territory.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Here we go! Have you bought your copy yet, by the way?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52No, five quid! I'll have a look online.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It's five quid. Come on, you're such a tightwad!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56You can't call me a tightwad, cos I just bought you lunch,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but if you don't want it...
0:15:58 > 0:16:00No, no, no, I didn't say that! What is my lunch?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- What have you... - DOOR CLOSES
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Egg and cress! That's the cheapest, nastiest sandwich you can get.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'm so sorry. Got held up.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, don't worry, Professor, it's not a problem.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18And, please, stop calling me professor.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20My name's Phil.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And my name is Valerie,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26proud passer of six O levels, one of which was an A grade.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Oh, yes, which one?- History.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29I'm impressed...
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I can't begin to tell you how much you've done for me today.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Whoa, don't know where that came from.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I do.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I'm a cancer survivor.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I know exactly what it's like to face a future that looks hopeless,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53but then to feel like you've been given a new lease of life.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Really?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I'm sorry to...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59hear about the cancer but I can't tell you how wonderful it is to talk
0:16:59 > 0:17:00to someone who understands.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I need to repay you...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07..apart from with my book, which I've forgotten, I'm afraid.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I normally take sandwiches and go and sit on the bench in the park,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16so I don't offend anyone with my... aroma.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21So, not very exciting, otherwise we could do lunch?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Now, you really need to read up on my Lady De Vere.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25She would insist on a proper lunch,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and blow what anybody else thinks.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Actually, I know just the place, if you really do want to repay me.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33With me, Professor?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37HE KNOCKS
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I've got a...peace offering.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49What is it?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Open it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I think Al's a little worried about how you'll react.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59So he should be.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Where did you get these?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Uh, well, you see...
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I asked the photographer to take a few shots while he was there.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Shows the house in a much better light, don't you think?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17So, peace?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Don't bank on it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21OK...
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Hazard of the condition, I'm afraid.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I'm always seated as far away from others as possible.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Oh, don't worry about that.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I am just happy that we get to delve into the world of Lady De Vere.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45You tell me about your Lady De Vere, first.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Strange, isn't it?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50She's my role model in my romantic fiction,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52whilst also being part of your world...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Oh, and I've just realised, you're being treated by Dr Vere!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Ha, gosh!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02So, is your wife an academic?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04I'm not married.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Work, plus my condition, makes relationships...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12a bit of a challenge.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Now, that's where she can teach us something.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18If Lady De Vere falls for the stable boy, she gets the stable boy.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21She has no problem with love across the divide.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It's a bit like us - you're a professor and I am just
0:19:25 > 0:19:28a humble possessor of six O levels, albeit one at A Grade.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33She wouldn't let a little thing like a medical condition
0:19:33 > 0:19:36get in the way of her pursuit of love and happiness.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41You're saying if there was someone, I should ignore the trymeth...
0:19:42 > 0:19:45..whatever it's called, and just go for it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Why not?
0:19:47 > 0:19:48You know,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50of all the women I've known,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53you've done more for me in one day than the rest put together.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57So, are you saying there might be someone?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I didn't think so...
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- until something happened today. - What was that?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11I thought I picked up a hint that someone might be interested in me.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Really?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Is it that obvious?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I think so, although I'm not sure.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, are you interested in her?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Definitely.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Well, then, what's stopping you?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- She'll probably say no. - No, she won't.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- You don't think so?- No.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33What have you... What have you got to lose?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34You're right.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36So ask.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I will.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41As soon as I get back to work.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Are you all right?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Yes, yes.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm so sorry, you didn't think...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Oh, no, no.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54No. No, I just...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Excuse me, I'm just going to go to the ladies' room.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Hiding from Zara?- No.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Just because she came after you with a golf club
0:21:18 > 0:21:19doesn't mean she's into you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25Not Zara?
0:21:27 > 0:21:28No, I just came in for a chat.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31You're not chatting.
0:21:33 > 0:21:34What are you working on?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- Patient notes.- Oh...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42You don't have to worry, you know.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Worry about what?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Oh, come on! The lecture.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48That's easy for you to say, isn't it, Jimmi?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50You're not going to be the one standing up there,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53in front of a group of cocky computer whizz kids.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57And why do you think they're there?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00To mock and judge me until their throats are sore?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You, my friend, have managed somehow - I don't know how -
0:22:03 > 0:22:06to invent something which is going to be beneficial to mankind.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09They're there to learn from you.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12So, you get to stand up, you get to show off, and then
0:22:12 > 0:22:14you get to be praised for it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15What's your problem?
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Good chat.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Close my door.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Good chat.- Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29I'm so sorry...
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I hope I didn't give you the wrong idea.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Oh, no... No, no.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, no...
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I just didn't realise how hot it was in here.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41So, what were we talking about?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Oh, yes, the girl of your dreams.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So who is she?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50She's our senior librarian.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Brainy, then. Not like me.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But she is attractive, just like you.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Plus, you had the brains to diagnose something that doctors haven't.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Oh, well. You know. You pick things up.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Thank goodness you did. You have literally transformed my life.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10But I'm still not sure if I've got the guts to ask someone out.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Of course you have.- You think?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Look, you know what your diagnosis is now and you know how to treat it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So now what should be coming out of your pores is not sweat,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22but pure confidence.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Do you know, when I've got a problem, I always think,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26"What would Lady De Vere do?"
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Trust me, when it comes to love, she is never wrong.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33So this would be her advice...
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Just the man!
0:23:43 > 0:23:44- Oh, Professor.- What!
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Oi, what are you doing? - Taking you for a little chat.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's right, get a good sniff
0:23:51 > 0:23:54because you're going to be smelling an awful lot more of it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- What are you doing? Are you mad? - No, empowered.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'm doing something I should have done a long time ago,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00but I didn't have the confidence.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Now I have, because I've just been diagnosed as having a medical
0:24:04 > 0:24:08condition which explains my smell and will soon be under control.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12And something Ms Arbuthnott just said has suddenly clicked.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13What?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14"Professor."
0:24:14 > 0:24:18One new professorship available - two of us went for it and I got it!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Well, those days are over.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business with Ms Arbuthnott.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm sorry, I could see you were uncomfortable.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Don't apologise. I'm grateful.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I need to explain.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35About earlier, in my room.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I'm sorry, I don't have time just now.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I have a meeting.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Then perhaps you could make time for a drink later?
0:24:44 > 0:24:45OK.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I finish at four.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Four it is.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I've got a proposal, for the Trust...
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Oh, you've seen that?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02You are very lucky to live in such a...a grand home.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Yes, well,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06when it isn't being made a laughing stock of.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, no, I do not feel it has been given
0:25:08 > 0:25:09the prominence that it deserves.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13You know, I am surprised that the photographer didn't take advantage
0:25:13 > 0:25:17of his setting, the decor, and, of course, your beautiful kitchen.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yes...
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Well, thank you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22You know, when I was a child,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I always dreamed about living in a beautiful house.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Well, presumably you have a nice house now?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33No?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Valerie, may I present Ms Arbuthnott?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Marjorie.- Delighted.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48"To my own Lady De Vere, with heartfelt thanks."
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Lady De Vere? The mistress of the robes?
0:25:51 > 0:25:57No, this is our Lady De Vere, the one who moves in mysterious ways.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Oh, thank you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Lovely...
0:26:01 > 0:26:02lovely smell.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Oh, are you allergic?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05No sense of smell,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08never have had.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Really? No sense of smell?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12You see, what did I tell you?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16You can always trust Lady De Vere to bring the right people together.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- LADY SOBBING - It's all right...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So, what was it you were saying about your house?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23I...
0:26:23 > 0:26:25I'm not aware that I said anything?
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Exactly.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It was what you didn't say.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You're clearly not happy with it, are you?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35So, if you're not happy, the solution's simple.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Move.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Oh, look, look. Two ticks.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48It's the machine.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Poor Mrs Dibden got into a right state about it,
0:26:50 > 0:26:53so I'm doing something that no machine can do, just yet.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56And that's make an upset patient a nice cup of tea.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08I want you stood outside this room. No-one gets in.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- Do you understand me? - Yes, sir. Who is it?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Daisy Murray.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14That is not a very friendly face, now, is it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:15You need more sleep.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Whoa, whoa, whoa! You can't go in there.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Were you just going to let him walk in there?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It really should not be making this noise.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Who are you?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25I'm the cleaner.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Better get back before it exterminates all the patients!
