0:00:30 > 0:00:31I'm nearly done.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I hope you're not turning me into Frankenstein's monster.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Well, it's a rather fetching duelling scar.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38En garde!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41- What were they protesting about anyway?- Oh, the usual.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46Anti-austerity, save public services. Eat the rich.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Do you know what they hit me with?- Go on?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52A papier-mache puppet of David Cameron.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55There's an example of cuts for you!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58To be honest though, I feel sorry for them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Kids today won't be able to buy a house till they're 102.- No.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- But whacking you over the head isn't going to help them, is it?- True.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- At least it gave us a chance to catch up.- Yeah.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11KNOCK AT DOOR Come in.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Hiya. I've got another customer for you when you've finished here.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16- Protester?- No, a shoplifter.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19A 62-year-old woman got caught shoving a frozen chicken up
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- her jumper. If you could give her the once over.- OK.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Well, my services are needed elsewhere. So I'll see you later.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30See you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Hello. Elizabeth?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Hello.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- I'm Dr Reid. - I'm so sorry to be such a nuisance.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Oh, you're not being a nuisance.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'm just here to examine you, make sure you're OK.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I didn't even need the thing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I just had this strange urge to take something.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Do you know DC Talbot? - Yes. Yes, I do.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Well, he'll vouch for me. We're old friends.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Really?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14It would be so nice to see him.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It might help me to calm down.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I tell you what, why don't I examine you and then I'll let him
0:02:24 > 0:02:26know that you're here, all right?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Good.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36RINGS DOORBELL
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Hello, Dr Clay. - I almost didn't recognise the place.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- You been having a clearout or something?- The students had a party.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56They still have some clearing up to do.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I am refusing to touch it. It is their responsibility.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Thanks. Hello, there. I believe you wanted to see me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Where's my daughter's phone?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'm sorry... Do I know you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Hang on a minute, I thought you said that you two were friends.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Oh, I know this man. But we're a long way from friends.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- It's Mrs...?- Gunn. Elizabeth Gunn.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- I'm Ellie's mother.- All right.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Ian, you don't have to talk to this woman if you don't want to.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34No, it's fine. Mrs Gunn, I told you everything I knew at the time.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38We looked inside the car. There was nothing at all there. No phone.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39I don't believe you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- She never went anywhere without that phone.- She must have lost it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46No, if it was lost, the battery would have died.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I've been dialling the number.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Her phone keeps ringing, so somebody has it!- I can't explain.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54If you wish to make an official complaint, you can.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58You are not going to stitch me up again! You're a liar! A thief!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- A grave robber!- All right, can we have some help in here, please?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Calm down. That's enough.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09- Whoa! That is enough for a school night, Mrs Tembe.- Yes, of course.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Oh, it is very nice to have you here, Dr Clay.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Of course, I got on very well with my colleagues at King's Green,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19but there was no-one that I really wanted to invite round for supper.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Well, I'm honoured.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And it's great to have you back as well.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25You know, these last few months,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29it's almost like it's been a bad dream or something.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Yes, indeed.- Wow!
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Now, I was not sure what you wanted to eat, so I have made us
0:04:36 > 0:04:38a smorgasbord.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41When did you have time to make all of this?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Well, I did not sleep very well last night,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46so I thought I would start the food preparation.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- Is that because of the students? - Yes, they have been a little...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54THUMPING MUSIC FROM NEXTDOOR
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Ian, I am so sorry. I thought she was genuine.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07She's genuine. She's just confused.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Grief does weird things.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Well, we both know that, don't we?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- How long is it since you lost Helen? - Five years ago tonight.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I'm surprised you came in.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Oh, I could have missiles thrown at me just as well as the next person.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I know, but... When does your shift end?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Ten minutes ago. I'm just catching up on paperwork.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Oh, for goodness' sake. Go home. Take the rest of the night off.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You've already been beaten to a pulp by the Prime Minister
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- and screamed at... - I'd rather be here.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Fair enough.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Well, at least let me get you a fresh cup of coffee.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's not actually coffee, is it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Been a long day.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Come on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Let me take you home.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- So, it's Verity and Nicola? - Yeah.- Yeah.- OK.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Hi, Karen, Rob. So glad you could make it.- Yeah, so are we.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08We've got tea and coffee over there
0:06:08 > 0:06:10and we'll make a start in five minutes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Oh, I don't want anybody picking on me,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18making me stand up and tell my life story.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Oh, come on. We'll be fine.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And we can back out at any time.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'd forgotten how big your place is.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Have you ever thought of getting lodgers?
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- I can't think of anything worse. - Really?- Yeah. Sometimes, I think
0:06:39 > 0:06:42having people around can actually make you feel lonelier.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Especially if they're not the right people.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- How long were you together? - 22 years.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I read some article about grief.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57It was calculating how long until it, you know, becomes bearable.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01You have to take your age and then divide your granny's age and...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh, something.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I'm not sure it really ever does become bearable. It changes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10But I think it's always with you.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm going to spend the evening in with my opera collection.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21Well, I could maybe stay and listen to a few arias with you.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Make us a cup of coffee?
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Thank you.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Now, can I tempt you with a slice of vegetable puff?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I think it's anatomically impossible.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- What about some tortilla? - Do you know what?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08If I eat anything else, I'm going to have to apply for stomach stapling.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Now, I wanted to talk to you about something.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Do you think we should have an obesity awareness week at the Mill?
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Um...I'd be careful about starting too many initiatives.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21That was Anthony's problem. Well, one of his many problems.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- MUSIC PLAYS NEXTDOOR - Yes, indeed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27VOLUME INCREASES
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- Do they never stop?- It has got steadily worse over the week.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35They must have finished their exams. They are letting off steam.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Have you not had a word? - On several occasions.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Sometimes they pretend to be out.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Sometimes they promise that they will stop.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46As you can hear, they have broken their promise.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- I tried not to get angry.- Honestly, that would drive me round the bend.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Well, enough of them. What about you, Dr Clay?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- We have not had a chat for a very long time.- Erm...
0:09:00 > 0:09:02I can't complain.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06You don't sound very enthusiastic.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Mm. You know, life.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12It's a bit like this music sometimes. It just goes on and on.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16SOPRANO SINGS
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Ian?
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Oh!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Sorry.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Isn't she extraordinary?- Mm.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31She might not have the most beautiful voice,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35but she's got a way of just sort of getting inside you,
0:09:35 > 0:09:36make you feel her pain.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Are you all right?- Yes.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Yeah, I've just had a weird deja vu.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50That plastic sippy cup that you've got in the cupboard.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I had one very similar for Sam.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Was it Helen's?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Yeah, it was.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I don't know why I kept it. Guess I couldn't keep her.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05We see people in their possessions, don't we?
0:10:05 > 0:10:10It was so painful.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17We never had kids, but I had to feed her as if she was an infant.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23No, it's good to talk about it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28If I'd talked about it at the time, maybe I wouldn't have...
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Here's to Helen and Sam.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Helen and Sam.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43I think it was thinking about, you know, Howard dying, it made me
0:10:43 > 0:10:46think, if I wasn't here now, would it make any difference?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Or have I ever made any difference? - Well, of course you have!
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Oh, Dr Clay! You improve the life of everyone you come in contact with!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Hm.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Now, can I tempt you with some sticky toffee pudding?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Is that just to stop me talking? - No. No, of course not.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I think you need a challenge.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12When you get stuck in a rut, you have to pick yourself up
0:11:12 > 0:11:13and climb the highest mountain.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Mm. Yeah. What if you're afraid of heights?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Then, don't look down.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21You see me? I like to keep myself busy.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I have the food bank, the hospital library scheme, the Mill,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28the campus and, of course, my church.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Don't you think you do too much? - What do you mean?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well, I wouldn't want you to burn out.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We go on about too much alcohol, too much sugar.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Too much stress can cause real damage to the body.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I wanted to grow old with Helen.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Just the two of us.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Pottering about in some seaside town.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56But she was old and wizened by the time she was 42.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I'm sorry.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I wish I'd done more to support you at the time.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02No, I kept pushing people away.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Did some really stupid things. - Haven't we all?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09No.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- No, not like this. I... - DOORBELL
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Hang on.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Please!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I don't want to row. I just... - How did you get my address?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29You're not the only one who is devious.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31You've got no right to be here.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I just want five minutes to talk with you.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Look, you know you could go to prison for being here.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I'm in prison now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Look, I've told you all I know.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48We looked in the car, checked her handbag. No phone.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I don't believe you.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Mrs Gunn, I don't think anything my colleague says is going to
0:12:55 > 0:12:58persuade you. Please go home.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Of course.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Might have known you'd be in cahoots.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Thanks.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15You do know that your story keeps changing, don't you?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- What?- Well, at the police station, you said the car was empty
0:13:19 > 0:13:22and now you've just said that you checked her handbag.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Which is it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30So, one thing I can tell you.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33There's nothing as rewarding as looking after children.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37It's a job that loves you back. Sometimes with a great big hug.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40But sometimes, it can push you right to the limit.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44At the moment, there are 2,000 children in Birmingham
0:13:44 > 0:13:47either in foster care or in need of foster families.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51And some of these children have been let down time and time again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54But that's enough of the waffle.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We'll take a quick break and then we'll do some exercises.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- OK?- Everybody seems so confident.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Oh, it's the confident ones that you need to watch out for.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Best to be a bit cautious. Do you want a coffee?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I was with Helen at her bedside.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23When she died.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28And then suddenly, 42 years of life over.
0:14:33 > 0:14:40She had this book by her bedside. It was...Three Men In A Boat.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43She'd only got to chapter four.
0:14:43 > 0:14:49And I thought, I want to keep this. I want to keep the moment.
0:14:50 > 0:14:56No-one can blame you for taking the book, but what else have you taken?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Sometimes, at an RTC or a suspicious death,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03I nearly always take something.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05A keepsake.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06What sort of something?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Tiny things, trivial.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12But they mean so much.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Do you remember Old Bill,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17who used to beg at the bus shelter on Pond Street?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- The guy with the dog? - Yeah, that's it.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24The dog died a few years ago. Bill died last year of hypothermia.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I was called to the scene.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31When I got there, I found this.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It was in his pocket.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's his lead. It was the only thing he owned.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41If I hadn't have taken it, it would have been incinerated.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43But why do you do it?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Why do we do anything?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48It's to keep the moment.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51If I can't save them, I can save the moment.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- But you must know that this is wrong?- Of course I do.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59I've tormented myself. I feel so lonely.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03It's like being in a room full of people and I'm invisible.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12And then I come back here and I remember Helen, Bill, Daniel,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Mohammed, and I feel alive.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17What about the phone?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That's the one thing I regret.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21It was devastating.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Ellie was the same age as Helen, 42, and I couldn't save her.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But I could save this.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It wasn't yours to take.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Oh, that woman has had months of sleepness nights.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Oh!- I know. What am I going to do now?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50The damage is done.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52You have to give it back to her.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Now, I've asked you all to write down the ten most important
0:16:59 > 0:17:02things in your life at the moment.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- Rob, can I hear some of your list? - Yeah.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21The night she died,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I wanted to protect everything she had.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30I went to her room and there was the dent in her bed where
