0:00:30 > 0:00:33Why do you never get dressed before breakfast?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35I have the whole house tidy,
0:00:35 > 0:00:39and here you are still in your old pyjamas!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Do I need to check the biscuit tin?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I bet you've eaten all the chocolate ones.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Are you ready?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I could drive you back home.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59No.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hangover?
0:01:01 > 0:01:02I don't do hangovers.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03What then?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Nobody likes me.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I mean, why would they? What is there to like? I'm a...
0:01:11 > 0:01:13I don't have any friends.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14You've got lots of friends.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I'm completely unlovable.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20I love you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22You don't count. And nor does Joe.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25What about... And nor does Isobel.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Sometimes, um, you...
0:01:31 > 0:01:32What?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Spit it out, Granger! You're intimidating.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40It puts people off. I think it stops people getting close. Perhaps...
0:01:40 > 0:01:45if you want to have friends, then you should try listening.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47But I listen! I listen all the time!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51OK, I'm listening.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Right, I'm going to set you a challenge.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I'm going to pick someone, a colleague,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and I want you to make an effort to be their friend.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I want you to be nice to them, today,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and I really want you to listen.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12See how they react to you, when you actually seem to care.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13And this is an official challenge?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yeah. With the usual stakes?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Oh, yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20All right, you're on. Who's it going to be?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Good morning, Valerie!
0:02:38 > 0:02:39How's things?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Things?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Sit yourself down. Why don't I make the coffee.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Or is it tea? Tea.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Well, sit yourself down then.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54When was the last time that you and I had a jolly good chinwag?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57You and me? Yes, you and me.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00What's happening in Valerie Land?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Tell me all about it.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well... I'm listening. I'm all ears.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Actually, I think I'd better go and check the e-mails,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09it's nearly 9 o'clock.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12What about your...
0:03:13 > 0:03:14..tea?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Thanks for the lift. No problem.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So...how does it feel?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26What?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29First day, Forensic Medical Examiner?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, much the same as the last day as a Police Surgeon,
0:03:32 > 0:03:36just a different title! But I'm sure you're much more important now.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Yes, well, of course there is that(!)
0:03:38 > 0:03:41DS Atkins, Doctor Reid. I'll see you later. See you later.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43So, you're the new boy, are you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44New to Letherbridge.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Dave. Emma.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Right, what have we got?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Michael MacDonald, 73, looks like a heart attack.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Have you called the GP?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Already done that. History of a heart condition.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So, why am I here? GP can't get here till this afternoon.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Just crossing the Ts, dotting the Is.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Right...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02..shall we go in? Yes. Of course.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Mrs MacDonald, Doctor Reid.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Hello Mrs MacDonald, I'm Emma.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19I'm so sorry.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Thank you, Doctor.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I can't say it was a surprise.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26SHE COUGHS
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Are you OK?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Nothing that a whiff of oxygen and a few painkillers won't cure.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Can I get you both a cup of tea and a biscuit?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41No, thank you. Gosh, it's me who should be asking you that.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43The body, Doctor Reid?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Mrs MacDonald, I need to take a look at your husband,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50would that be all right? Of course.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53You do know he's dead?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yes. Mrs MacDonald, can you wait elsewhere?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Max?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Find a neighbour, someone to keep an eye on her.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So...what you think?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14No obvious sign of life.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16So I'm happy to call life extinct.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I can't see anything suspicious.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24No obvious signs of any injury.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27But the Coroner will probably want to do a postmortem. Right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Are you single?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Pardon?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33It's not a difficult question.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35You're either single or you're not.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Yes. And I'm not interested.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Milk, no sugar.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Lovely.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55My pleasure.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I know that things haven't been easy for you.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Recently.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And if you ever need someone to talk to...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12about anything at all...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Base?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29All done?
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Any issues?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Not with the deceased, no. But I have to tell you, I think
0:06:35 > 0:06:38it's really unprofessional of you to ask me if I'm single.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41No harm done, eh?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Let's close this one down.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48DS Atkins, have you ticked all your boxes, crossed your Ts, or whatever?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You said it was an easy case. Said I shouldn't have called you.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Yes, well that may be. But it's not just about solving the crime, is it?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58What about her?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59She's vulnerable.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The neighbour has said she'll look in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Valerie, can you find me a stapler that actually works?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Doctor Carmichael.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Valerie.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Hello, Barry.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25How are you?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Um, I am obliged to inform you that, once again, a number
0:07:29 > 0:07:33of patients of this establishment have been availing themselves
0:07:33 > 0:07:36of parking facilities which do not pertain to the Campus Surgery.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Thanks for letting us know.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42We'll certainly do something about that, won't we, Doctor Carmichael?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Of course.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47We can't just have patients parking willy-nilly! No.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Well, I'm really pleased to hear that, Doctor Carmichael.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's much appreciated.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00And we appreciate you, Barry. Don't we, Valerie?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03We do.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Well, er...
0:08:07 > 0:08:08..I'll be on my way.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Goodbye.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Thank you.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I think that went quite well, don't you?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Oh, Zara, his little heart's broken.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37KNOCK AT DOOR
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Excuse me. Michael MacDonald. You haven't submitted a written opinion yet.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I've been busy. We're all busy.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Michael MacDonald. Soon as.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I thought you were coming over this afternoon?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54'I was. I am.'
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The temp's here already, so I could come now
0:08:56 > 0:08:59but I've got to look at the expenditure files for Anthony
0:08:59 > 0:09:00and that's time consuming.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02'But if you need to talk...'
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Oh, that's very kind.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh, right, that's settled. Where are we going for lunch?
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Ah, the thing is, Zara's actually buying me lunch.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'She just popped out to get us a spread from the delicatessen.'
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm sorry, I thought you said Zara's buying you lunch.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I know! She's been very supportive.
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Zara?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I'm sure there'll be enough for three if you want to join us?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I wouldn't miss it for the world(!)
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, by the way, in two weeks' time, I've arranged a little something.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, yes? Yeah, two nights in Stratford,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38tickets to see Cymbeline at the RSC, and a backstage tour.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41That is wonderful!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44"Thither write, my queen, and with mine eyes,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47"I'll drink the words you send though ink be made of gall."
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Bravo!
0:09:49 > 0:09:50And this looks lovely too!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, healthy food doesn't have to be uninspiring.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55And we need to get you healthy.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I am healthy.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The only reason I'm not going back to work is Anthony.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Right, well, I know far worse NHS managers.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04They're snakes in the grass, most of them.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Rise above it, and don't get stressed.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09I'm not stressed. Really?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15Maybe you should cook a bit more plain, sensible food as well.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Maybe a little less wine.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Maybe we shouldn't be so physical. What(!)
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'm not saying we should abstain completely,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm just saying be a bit more careful.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I want you to stick around, Heston Carter.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Hmm.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Hmm.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, no!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43What's happened?! Before you go in, can we talk?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Have you written up your case notes from this morning?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48You didn't call me out here to check whether I've done my paperwork?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Have you notified the officer in charge?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53What? Is it filed? Yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Including the bit where I recommended
0:10:54 > 0:10:56you should keep an eye on the widow.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Excuse me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I've invited Karen to join us. I hope that's OK.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Of course. There's plenty to go round.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Thank you. It is lovely.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Both of you, such friends.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Always here for you, Valerie.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Exactly.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Shall I serve?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23So, any word from Barry?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Oh, Karen, he came in this morning, didn't he, Zara?
0:11:27 > 0:11:28That must have been hard.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Not for me. But for him.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I think he is in the depths of despair.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38A blissful future has been snatched away from him.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39All his hopes have been dashed.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Is that how you saw it, Zara?
0:11:43 > 0:11:49I think that he is still coming to terms with his change of fortune.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53You don't think he'd do something stupid? BOTH: No.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56So, what bought you over to see us, Karen.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I thought Valerie could do with a friendly face.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I already had a friendly face.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Still, it's very nice to see another one, Karen.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You have got a very friendly face.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Why don't you make yourself useful
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and get that husband of yours to check up on Barry?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's hardly a case for the police.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Well, Rob was his best man.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Perhaps he could gently probe and see how he's taking it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I think it would give Valerie tremendous peace of mind.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Oh, it would.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Barry.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Rob.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35You all right?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Tickedyboo.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39Good.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Her husband had just died,
0:12:55 > 0:12:58and she treated you like an honoured guest in her house
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and you let this happen? The neighbour said she'd look in.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What about family? There is no family.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Well, what about Social Services, then? Or a bereavement service?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Are you going to tell me how to do my job now? Yes, I am.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11You did not call me down here
0:13:11 > 0:13:14because you needed an FME to sign the body over,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16you called me down here because you want me
0:13:16 > 0:13:19to edit my notes from this morning.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You want the record to show that there was no reason
0:13:21 > 0:13:23to suspect that this might happen. Well, tough!
0:13:25 > 0:13:26I warned you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29And you did nothing.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33This woman's death, it's on you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Still here?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'm going to have a coffee with Valerie.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Poor Valerie! Exactly.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Hiya, love?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Hey, have you had a word with him?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Yes. He's all right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Barry? Yes.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58What did you ask him? If he was all right.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00And they let you leave CID?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02He's not all right, Rob.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03I have to agree.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06For once, Karen is talking some sense.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Barry is the biggest puppy-dog known to man,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and he was hopelessly and inexplicably in love with Valerie.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14But the important thing is that our dear friend, Valerie,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16needs to know if he's coping.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19He is. Someone's going to have to speak to him, properly.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Well, I think you should, being as you're Valerie's new BFF.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25There is no way on God's Earth that Barry is going to
0:14:25 > 0:14:27open his heart to Zara.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28No offence, Zara.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32None taken. Looks like it's going to have to be you, Karen.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Fine. If a job needs doing...
0:14:34 > 0:14:36SHE SIGHS
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Have these been processed? Not yet.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44I'll need to bag them.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Was there a note?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Yes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58The Complaints Commission are going to be all over this.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00The IPCC?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Right now, do you think I care about the IPCC?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Presume I'm allowed some caffeine in my coffee?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20All things in moderation. Thank you.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I've been thinking. You're right.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28If I had died...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Really! No, no, if I had died,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32because I haven't revised my will in quite a while,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34you would have got nothing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Heston! I don't want your money! Stephen would have got everything.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38It doesn't matter.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41He has a trust fund, he's comfortable.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I want you to be comfortable.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I want you and your kids to be provided for.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48We don't need providing for... Ruhma!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You're very precious to me.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I want you to move in here with me.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Now, I can phone my solicitor, we can sort this out this afternoon.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Heston, just stop right there!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I'm sorry if I got a bit heavy with you.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09But I thought it was something that we should talk about.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I want to keep you alive.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I don't want to talk about how much profit I'll make once you die!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23KNOCKING Yes?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Valerie... Can I have a word?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I was expecting Mr Shareef.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31He doesn't mind waiting. He's a very nice man.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35OK. Well, just a quick minute then. It's about Barry. Of course it is.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'm very worried about him.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Well, Rob and Karen, between them,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46are attempting to fathom the deep well that is Barry Biglow.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51In the meantime, you need to stay strong.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53And know that you can rely on the help of your friends.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Oh, yeah, I know I can.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58But I do worry sometimes. I do.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I worry that it's all my fault.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Valerie... I wonder if there's something wrong with me
0:17:02 > 0:17:04that makes all these bad things happen.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's not Barry's fault he fell in love with me, is it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09That's me. That's all down to me.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10OK, stop it!
0:17:10 > 0:17:14You have to just stop blaming yourself.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Oh, I know.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18You have to think about Barry.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21You have to focus on Barry.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Barry is what matters right now.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I was being selfish, wasn't I?
0:17:27 > 0:17:28A tad?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Thank you. It takes a real friend...
0:17:41 > 0:17:44KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think you'll find that all my paperwork is up-to-date.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51I'm sure.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Was there something else?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I should have seen it.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Yes, well, if you hadn't been so busy hitting on me,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01you might have done.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04I'm sorry.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Flaming Ada! It's just a cup of tea and a sticky bun!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It might be seen as an inducement.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's not a bribe. Or a distraction.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21You could be distracting me with your sticky bun
0:18:21 > 0:18:24while all sorts of nefarious practices take place around the corner.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Barry, shut up, and eat your bun.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Doubtless there's a quid pro quo.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37I want you to be honest and truthful
0:18:37 > 0:18:39about how you're bearing up.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Rob's report wasn't good enough then?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44We're worried about you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46We're all worried about you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Valerie is worried about you.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Honestly, Karen...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58..it wasn't entirely unexpected.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'm disappointed, of course.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04But I have a history of disappointment
0:19:04 > 0:19:07dating back to my first school discotheque.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I was pleasantly surprised my relationship with Valerie
0:19:10 > 0:19:13lasted as far as the church altar, even if it didn't get beyond it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Life goes on, Karen.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24And Barry Biglow goes on living.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32I was distracted.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Not by you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35By...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41New job. First call out, it's just a heart attack.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Doesn't reflect very well on me.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47What I said to you. I... I know.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50This could kill my career.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54When they interview you... I won't lie.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07The note she left.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21"To whom it may concern...
0:20:21 > 0:20:26"Whoever you are, I'm sorry you were the one to find me.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30"I hope it wasn't too much of a shock.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34"Don't be scared.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41"And don't be sad.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44"He was my everything.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46"There's no-one else.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53"I don't want to have to wait to see him in heaven.
0:20:59 > 0:21:07"I am happy.
0:21:10 > 0:21:25"I have filled the kettle.
0:21:28 > 0:21:35"If you need something stronger, there's rum in the sideboard.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38"Esme MacDonald."
0:21:47 > 0:21:49The pills were a mixture of everything.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Prescription drugs,
0:21:52 > 0:21:54some of Michael's.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And on top of her lung condition, then...
0:21:59 > 0:22:02She'd clearly been stockpiling them for months,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04possibly years.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Nothing you could have done would have stopped this.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09She just wanted to slip away.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11But she didn't slip away.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I saw the vomit.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The look on her face.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19She died in agony.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24People think you just fall asleep.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26It's rarely like that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29It's a wretched way to die.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33We could have searched the house, found the pills.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36They would have been hidden. It's my job to find things.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Oh!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Oh, God-awful first day!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Look, when they interview me...
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I'll make sure they get the full picture.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55If that helps.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Thank you.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm sorry. You have nothing to apologise for.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I hijacked your lunch plans.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17And I talked about death and inheritance.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, let's do lunch again!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And thank you for your dietary recommendation!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Look, your health, let's just deal with that, please.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Everything else can wait.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Me moving in, it's a big thing, for me and the kids.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Not for me. Where I'm standing, life's too short.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38See you.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47KNOCKING Hello?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I have patients to see, Valerie.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Mrs Petherbridge said she'd give us a minute.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Valerie wanted to be with you when she gets the news. What news?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Karen's spoken to Barry.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01OK, one minute.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06So, I spoke to Barry... 55 seconds.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07All right!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Zara is a very busy lady, Karen.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12You can't stretch this out for dramatic effect.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14We both need to know how bad Barry's feeling,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17but we don't need any extra histrionics from you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Not now. Not when it's Barry's mental wellbeing that matters.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Isn't that right, Zara?
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Barry?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Absolutely fine. No.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Really? Really. He's very philosophical about it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33He says he's hurt, but he'll mend.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Good for Barry.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36No. That's not true.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No, I know Barry.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41He is hiding the depths of his emotional anguish.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I don't think he is. He is!
0:24:43 > 0:24:45He's doing it for me, to protect me,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48to stop me from torturing myself with unimaginable guilt.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I think... No, you don't know Barry the way I do!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Oh, I can't bear it.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Poor, poor Barry,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57pining for my love.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Drowning in the depths of his sorrow...
0:25:00 > 0:25:02OK, honestly, Valerie, stop it!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Barry is probably absolutely fine, he's probably counting
0:25:05 > 0:25:08his lucky stars that he doesn't have to listen to you babbling on
0:25:08 > 0:25:11in your self-centred fashion, day after day, until death do you part.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13He has had a very narrow escape!
0:25:16 > 0:25:17How could you?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19How could you say that...
0:25:21 > 0:25:23..to a cancer survivor?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Out.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I have patients to see.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37What?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Just looking forward to my prize. Usual stakes, wasn't it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43It was a ridiculous challenge!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Nobody, but nobody, could be friends with that!
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I thought that's what you wanted.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Valerie? Friends. That's what you said.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55I... Listen, there's no magic formula, Zara.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You have to work at it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Anthony Harker, Practice Manager.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Are you aware there are loose paving slabs outside the main entrance?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15She's just banging on about her rights,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18the struggle for equality, equal access for all. I mean...
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Mr Harker, if I were you, I'd stop blaming others
0:26:23 > 0:26:27for your Practice's shortcomings and start taking some responsibility
0:26:27 > 0:26:29for doing something yourself.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Now on BBC One...
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Ooh, where's he off to?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Got to do something about it, you know. I don't...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10HE RINGS BELL Don't miss my big new show!
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Yeah! Yeah, man!
