0:00:27 > 0:00:29FAINT GRUNTING

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Blake! Cleo!

0:00:41 > 0:00:43What?! Blake hates bananas, anyway.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Since when? Saturday. He said they're like giant's fingers.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48What are they doing, anyway?

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Fighting over a mini-keyboard a minute ago.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53What, and you just left them to it? Great parenting!

0:00:53 > 0:00:55They're not doing any harm.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Kids, you heard your mother, breakfast!

0:00:58 > 0:00:59They're supposed to be ill.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02They seem fine to me. Can't they go in anyway?

0:01:02 > 0:01:04No, they've still got the scabs on their backs.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08That'd be a great start to a new term, wouldn't it? Triggering a pox outbreak!

0:01:09 > 0:01:10That's the last of the bread!

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Forget it. Can you just get home early tonight?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I need to do a big shop and it'll take half the time without the kids.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20I can't, I'm sorry. Why? All-day meeting.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22You know what they're like, it'll overrun.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25My phone will be off, Ill call when I'm out.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26All right, fine.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29I've got to go. I love you.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30I love you, too.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41CHILDREN SQUABBLE

0:01:45 > 0:01:47HE EXHALES

0:01:47 > 0:01:48PHONE RINGS

0:01:54 > 0:01:55I'm in the clear.

0:01:57 > 0:01:58Yeah.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'll see you in 20.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Ugh! These friends of Georgina keep popping up on my feed

0:02:08 > 0:02:10with their holiday photos.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14They are so sickeningly happy, I hate them.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15They're trying too hard.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Huh! Look at that beach and those skies!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh! It's all so contrived.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26The way she looks over her shoulder as the sun sets over the bay.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's about as candid as a Cosmo cover.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Ha!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35And the tags are annoying, too. #Paradise.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37#Overcompensating, more like.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39#Give it six months.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43LAUGHS Oh, you've cheered me up so much.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46That makes sense. You've found a common bond, haven't you? Misanthropy.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Or perhaps it's that your mother is actually rather very funny.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51A quality which hasn't been passed on to you.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I think I preferred it how it was before.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Has Joe brushed his teeth?

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Are you going to tell him about what happened in Crete?

0:03:04 > 0:03:06MARION SIGHS

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, do I have to?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14I didn't expect to see you here so early.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Especially considering you're, um...

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Isn't the traffic bad when the schools go back, eh?

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Considering I'm...? You know, not going to be with us for much longer.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I'm not dying, Sid. Well, not any more. Huh!

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Although it does feel a bit like a bereavement.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Morning! Oh! Morning.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yeah, it does a bit.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38But coming in early, very admirable of you.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm not going to compromise my professionalism,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44even though I've been thrown on the scrapheap.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Also, I wanted to apply for a job online

0:03:46 > 0:03:50and my broadband's playing up at home, so... It never rains.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh! It arrived! Joy of joys!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58You know what you were saying about Joe starting school the other day?

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Maybe I am being overprotective.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02No, no, I think you're being absolutely right.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I'm going to speak to his teachers, make sure they understand

0:04:05 > 0:04:07he needs a bit more attention. That's a good idea. Yeah.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11And we can set up regular meetings so that we can make sure

0:04:11 > 0:04:14his progress is being monitored accurately. Nonsense!

0:04:14 > 0:04:19He'll be a little protege, just like his dad.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23We've been trying to tell you, Mum, he has developmental issues.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27You'll give the poor child a complex.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30They're all different at that age.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32If you were around longer, you'd see.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Well, the way things are looking, I may be around indefinitely.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Indefinitely?

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Oh, off you pop. Now, you don't want to be late.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42I thought you loved it there?

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Believe me, I wouldn't be coming back here if I didn't have to.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Are you ill?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Oh, don't look so worried. I'm fine!

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well, what is it, then?

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Oh! A few months ago...

0:04:57 > 0:05:00..I met the most wonderful, charming and handsome man...

0:05:01 > 0:05:04..who also happened to be married.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07What? You're having an affair?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09We tried to fight it,

0:05:09 > 0:05:13but such was the visceral, magnetic lust between us,

0:05:13 > 0:05:17it was all we could do not to rip each other's clothes off at every opportunity.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Shouldn't you be showing a bit more self-control at your age?

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Ha-ha! Growing old doesn't lead to wisdom,

0:05:22 > 0:05:27just supportive underwear and daily checks for facial hair.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Oh, everybody hates me there now.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33I've no idea what I'm going to do and where I'm going to live.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Marion, you don't need to take Joe to nursery

0:05:37 > 0:05:40if you don't feel like it. Oh, I'll be OK.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Hm! I'm just a silly woman feeling sorry for herself.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45All right, well, we've got to go,

0:05:45 > 0:05:47but we'll speak about this later, OK?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Is that from Star Trek? No, it's not from...!

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Roughly translated from Japanese, it means,

0:06:02 > 0:06:05"The battle is the dance, not the victory."

0:06:05 > 0:06:09And it's from...? You're going to have to give us...

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Sidney, if you're going to claim to be a geek,

0:06:11 > 0:06:13you're going to need to know this kind of thing.

0:06:13 > 0:06:19It's from my very favourite Japanese TV show of the 1980s, Solar Samurai.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22This, is the hero ship, the Infinity Dragon.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I tell you, mate, I've been looking for months

0:06:24 > 0:06:26to find one in such good condition.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29You're on a whole new level of geek, you know, mate.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32The show's creator, Yuji Kamomoto, is doing a Q

0:06:32 > 0:06:34at my mate Fat Elvis's place later this afternoon.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, you're going to get it signed, are you? Of course.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I've got the afternoon off.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43At 2pm, me and the Infinity Dragon are out of here.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Oh, gosh! It must be really lovely to be able to waste money on toys

0:06:46 > 0:06:49when some people can't afford to pay their mortgage.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51Excuse you. It is not a toy,

0:06:51 > 0:06:54it is a very rare scale replica.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57You really are still a child, aren't you?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Can I have a sweetie?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04They're not sweeties, darling, they're Mummy's tablets.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07DOORBELL Oh! What now?

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Just go and play with your brother, OK?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Excellent! Good news?

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Yeah. The Honeydew Clinic and Spa have agreed to refer a few patients

0:07:20 > 0:07:22to the Granger Clinic, for a small commission.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24They're turning away several clients a week at the moment.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25You'll be busy, then.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Yeah. At this rate, I'll need another pair of hands.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Mummy?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36I thought you were upstairs, playing with your brother?

0:07:36 > 0:07:37I feel sick.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39I'm not falling for that one again. Go on back upstairs.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44OK, all right. Let's get you to the bathroom. Come on.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48KNOCK AT DOOR Yep?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55That's very kind. Hm!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Do you know, just the other day,

0:07:59 > 0:08:04one of the patients was commenting on how youthful and soft my skin is.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09It must be very difficult to find staff for the Granger Clinic

0:08:09 > 0:08:12who possess both the right skills and the right look.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16I mean, you don't want a 20-something, do you?

0:08:16 > 0:08:18You want someone who makes people think,

0:08:18 > 0:08:22"Wow! They are never over 30!"

0:08:23 > 0:08:2440. Yeah.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26"How do they look so good?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I guess.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32And with the business growing, you're going to need somebody experienced on your side.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36Someone to ease the pressure at both work and home.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Someone who you can trust.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Someone who is right under your nose.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Valerie, you are a genius.

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Really? Yeah.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48I, um...I need to make a call to my accountant. Would you excuse me?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Where's that taxi?

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Hi. Can you get a message to Duncan, please? He's in a meeting.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06What do you mean, he's on leave? Where is he?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Er...no. No, it doesn't matter.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Bye.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Where's he going in such a hurry?

0:09:19 > 0:09:23He's going to talk to his accountant about you-know-what.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Really? You-know-what?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29How exciting(!) Isn't it! No.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33I've absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Valerie. Enlighten me.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Now, this is awkward because I assumed you'd know.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39All I'll say is it involves the Granger Clinic

0:09:39 > 0:09:42and a new member of staff.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47OK. Well, this is news to me.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54This is getting ridiculous. Just call me back as soon as you get this.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58I'm sorry, we're closing for lunch. Afternoon surgery's 4-6pm.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Oh, really? My daughter, she keeps being sick and I don't know what's wrong.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03I mean, she was fine this morning.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Well, um...I can have a look at her, if you like? Oh, thank you.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Well, that was a close call.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12You could wait till she's gone before you sound so relieved.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14No, I don't think I could.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, Zara! Remember, mum's the word.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I don't want to jinx it.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30When did she start vomiting? A couple of hours ago.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Just sit still for five minutes.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Sorry. That's OK. And what's she eaten today?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Just a banana and a bit of yoghurt.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42I hate bananas! Button it, Mister. You're not the one who's ill.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44It worried me the way it came out of the blue, that's all.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, um...I would have said gastroenteritis,

0:10:47 > 0:10:49but her temperature's normal, which is unusual.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Is there any chance she's got hold of anything toxic,

0:10:52 > 0:10:53like, cleaning products?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I've got child-locks on all the cleaning cupboards. I've always been very careful.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Look, this could be something that'll just pass on its own,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03but just to be on the safe side, I'd like to have a word with one of my colleagues.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05OK. Thank you.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16KNOCK AT DOOR Go away. Dr Haskey is no longer in the building.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Al, just two minutes, please! Sidney, Yuji Kamomoto is in the country

0:11:19 > 0:11:23for the first time in over 20 years and I...

0:11:23 > 0:11:26And I am going nowhere, it seems.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30Cheers, mate. I've got a feeling this is more than just a bug. Oh! Cool!

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Yes, it's very cool and it's not a toy. Stop messing about.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35Come on, then, we're on the clock here.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38OK, um...rapid onset of vomiting, no diarrhoea.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41She's apyrexial, but she does appear to be unwell. She's pale and clammy.

0:11:41 > 0:11:42Cleo, what's wrong?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44She's gone limp! Cleo?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Sorry, sorry, sorry.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48She's tachycardic and hypotensive! It looks like shock. Al?

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Sidney! Thank you.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Tell me everything that she's eaten today, no matter how trivial.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55We've been through this. Fruit, yoghurt, a biscuit, maybe.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Ambulance, please. I'm a GP at the Mill Health Centre.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00What are you doing?! She needs to go to hospital. I don't believe this!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03This is really important. If she's ingested something toxic,

0:12:03 > 0:12:05we can treat it quicker if we know what it is.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Cleo? Sweetheart? You need to tell the doctor

0:12:07 > 0:12:10what you've eaten, OK? You won't be in trouble, I promise.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12She had Mummy's tablets.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah. I have a young girl and she's very unwell.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Which ones? The red ones in the kitchen.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20My iron tablets. I'm anaemic. OK. How many did she take?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Cleo Leyton, date of birth - 5th May, 2008.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26She appears to be in shock and suspected iron poisoning.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Blake, how many?! Was it lots and lots?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30She'll be OK, won't she?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34It can be serious in extreme cases. It depends how many she's taken.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36But, look, she's in good hands now.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I pop to the Icon for half an hour

0:12:43 > 0:12:45and we have a full-on medical emergency?

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Yeah. Some kid with iron poisoning, or something. Sid was all over it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I taught that boy everything he knows. Hm-hm-hm!

0:12:52 > 0:12:58You know what, it is great that you and Mum are getting on so well.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01We're not exactly bosom buddies just yet.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05The last thing she needs, at this time in her life,

0:13:05 > 0:13:09is to up sticks, move country, find somewhere completely new to live.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I guess... And we have been worrying about

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Joe not getting the personal attention he needs.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I have a feeling I'm not going to like where this is going.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20Keep an open mind. OK?

0:13:22 > 0:13:27Valerie gave me an idea that could solve both problems.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Do you know, my gran always used to say that opportunities are like butterflies.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35If you chase them, they'll fly away,

0:13:35 > 0:13:37but if you sit still, one might land on your shoulder.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Where is my Infinity Dragon? I know that you've taken it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42You mean your spaceship toy?

0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's not a toy, it's a replica. There's a big difference.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47That girl's brother had it when they got in the ambulance.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I thought you'd given it to him!

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I spend one good day with your mother

0:13:52 > 0:13:54and now you want to build her a granny flat?!

0:13:54 > 0:13:56I thought you'd be pleased.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58How do you propose to pay for all of this?!

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Er...the Honeydew contract came through. Oh, great!

0:14:01 > 0:14:05So you're going to be spending all of your time here running the clinic

0:14:05 > 0:14:08and you think it'll keep me sweet that I have Marion to help me?!

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Look, what's good for the clinic is good for us.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I don't care about the money.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14I need you to be present in your son's life!

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Joe loves having his granny around.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Of course he does! She thinks that chocolate and fizzy pop

0:14:19 > 0:14:20constitute a healthy breakfast!

0:14:20 > 0:14:22He will end up a toothless diabetic!

0:14:22 > 0:14:24OK, let's just regroup here for a minute.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Thank goodness you mentioned it to me before you mentioned it to...

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Daniel?

0:14:33 > 0:14:34Un-tell her!

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Her...her little face lit up. She would be heartbroken.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41OK, it's this simple. If she moves in, I move out!

0:14:41 > 0:14:45And what is this about you offering a job to Valerie?!

0:14:45 > 0:14:46What? No, I didn't!

0:14:46 > 0:14:48She said you're creating a role for her!

0:14:48 > 0:14:50You went to see your accountant at lunchtime!

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Oh! I can see how she...

0:14:53 > 0:14:55HE SIGHS This is unfortunate.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Unfortunate? What is going on with you today?!

0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK, can you...? You get on with her, right?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Can you put her straight for me? It'll be better coming from you.

0:15:05 > 0:15:06OK.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10But only if all this malarkey about a granny flat...

0:15:10 > 0:15:12is off.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18If you can get hold of him, can you just tell him

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Cleo's in St Phil's and he needs to get here as soon as?

0:15:23 > 0:15:24Hey!

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Oh, hi. I didn't expect to see you here.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Yeah, I was, er... I was just passing by,

0:15:30 > 0:15:32so I thought I'd pop in and see how Cleo is.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35That's kind of you. They're just running some blood tests, so...

0:15:35 > 0:15:39OK. That's good. Um...is your little lad about?

0:15:39 > 0:15:43A nurse is watching him while I try and track down my husband,

0:15:43 > 0:15:46who has disappeared off the face of the earth.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51I don't even care what he's doing, I just want to know where he is.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I don't think I can get through this on my own.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57SIGHS

0:15:59 > 0:16:02There you are! Oh, I just nipped out for a nice bottle of red.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Valerie... It wasn't even on offer. But if you can't treat yourself

0:16:05 > 0:16:08to a nice bottle of wine when you've got a new job, when can you?

0:16:08 > 0:16:11Yes, about this job... Oh, it's so nice for Daniel and I

0:16:11 > 0:16:13to be continuing our professional relationship.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'll be like his work wife, I suppose.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18LAUGHS

0:16:18 > 0:16:21It'll be like a time-share situation. Lucky old Daniel!

0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh, was there something you wanted?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Er...yes, there was.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29Please, just make sure you speak to Daniel later, about the job.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Just to clear everything up. Good idea. Yeah.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38You've got five minutes more and then I've got to go.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Thanks for looking after him. It's been a massive help.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44We've been getting on well, haven't we, mate? I think he likes you.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I do actually need to start thinking about...

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Daddy, look!

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Son. Where's Cleo? Now you show your face!

0:16:51 > 0:16:52I've been going out of my mind!

0:16:52 > 0:16:56I only just got your messages. I came as quickly as I could.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Can you go with Dr Haskey, please? Sorry, do you mind?

0:16:58 > 0:17:01Yeah, sure. Come on, mate, let's go and find some sweets.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, who is she? Who?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05The woman you're having it off with.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07That's ridiculous! Get off me!

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Our baby girl is fighting for her life in there.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12What's wrong with her? She ate my iron tablets.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14I never expected this from you.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16I know things have been a bit of a routine...

0:17:16 > 0:17:19I, er...I took a Duncan day.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23A what? A...A Duncan day, that's all.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28I get a day in lieu every month, so I took it for a bit of me time.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31You know, play some golf, maybe go to the cinema.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Because life is so hard for you, isn't it?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Pushing buttons on a computer every day,

0:17:37 > 0:17:39coming home to whatever boring tea I've cooked

0:17:39 > 0:17:41and never getting to go out and have fun.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Well, I'm sorry married life is such a drag(!)

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Are you OK? VALERIE LAUGHS

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Yeah. No, it's just this video of the cat drinking from the tap

0:18:00 > 0:18:02just tickles me every time.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05Oh, FYI, I won't do this when I'm at the clinic.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09(We had a deal.)

0:18:10 > 0:18:14She thinks so much of you and I just thought to myself,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17"I'm just not doing his dirty work."

0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's your mess, you clean it up.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Did they say anything?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28No. She made a few notes and walked off.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31You didn't ask for an update? What's the point in you even being here?

0:18:31 > 0:18:34You think I sit with my feet up all day reading magazines, don't you?

0:18:34 > 0:18:38No. I don't have a job, so every day's a Verity day for me(!)

0:18:38 > 0:18:39I know you work hard.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43We moved here to make our lives better, but I don't know anyone.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Our daughter OD'd on my iron tablets

0:18:46 > 0:18:49because I was too tired and stressed to put them away properly.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52When do I get a day off, eh?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56A part of me wishes you were having an affair.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58It would hurt less than this.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01KNOCK AT DOOR Yep?

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Oh.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Hello, boss. About that...

0:19:08 > 0:19:13I was thinking that we could offer complimentary detox smoothies.

0:19:13 > 0:19:16I have this amazing chia seed and avocado recipe.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Everything's OK, is it?

0:19:21 > 0:19:23There's been a misunderstanding.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Oh. It's entirely my fault.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29I gave you the wrong impression and I apologise.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33I'm sorry to say, but there is no job.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Half-three. What is the point?

0:19:45 > 0:19:47I just spoke to the specialist,

0:19:47 > 0:19:50the test results indicate that Cleo needs to stay in overnight

0:19:50 > 0:19:52for some chelation therapy,

0:19:52 > 0:19:55but she should make a full recovery.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57So she's going to be OK?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58I think we caught it in time.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00DUNCAN EXHALES Thank you so much.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05I'm just a GP, these are the guys who do all the real work.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Yeah, but you picked up on it

0:20:08 > 0:20:12and then you took the time to come here and follow it up, so thank you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yeah.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's more than a job to me.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I never thought this is how my marriage would end.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24I've never seen her like this before.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Are you married?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Any kids? No.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33I can barely look after myself, mate.

0:20:35 > 0:20:37No-one tells you how hard it is.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39It's amazing...

0:20:40 > 0:20:45..but sometimes it's just so...relentless.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Being a parent.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49I can imagine.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I just needed some time to myself.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I didn't think it would do any harm.

0:21:00 > 0:21:01I need to get going.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05I really hope that everything works out OK.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06Thank you.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08I'll just say goodbye to Verity. Yeah.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Has something else happened?

0:21:18 > 0:21:21The Honeydew contract isn't going to be half as lucrative

0:21:21 > 0:21:23as I thought it was going to be.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Looking at the figures, they're just...they're not going to work.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29To be honest, I thought it was a bit strange

0:21:29 > 0:21:32to be so excited about a few referrals. Yeah.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35It was nearly a dreadful business decision

0:21:35 > 0:21:39and I've...I've upset Valerie

0:21:39 > 0:21:43and on top of all of that, I'm going to have to let Mum down, as well.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44I mean, it's...

0:21:44 > 0:21:49Look on the bright side. If you had given Valerie a job

0:21:49 > 0:21:52and I hadn't vetoed the granny flat,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55think how much worse it would have been.

0:21:55 > 0:21:56That's true.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02I actually quite like it when you mess up now and again.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04You're so annoyingly handsome and intelligent,

0:22:04 > 0:22:07it's nice to see you being human. Hm!

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Thank you.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Now, we are going to have to butter Mum up

0:22:13 > 0:22:16before we break the bad news, aren't we? We? Mm.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19No, that's your job. You're not getting out of it that easily.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22Thank you so much.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25I couldn't have lived with myself if...

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Hey, you got her to us quickly, that's the main thing.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30She's on the mend now.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33As for my marriage...

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Your marriage is none of my business,

0:22:35 > 0:22:37but he clearly feels awful.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39The trust has gone.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41If he lied so easily about this, then...

0:22:43 > 0:22:47Right. I am going to let you into a secret.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49And you can't tell anyone.

0:22:49 > 0:22:51Every grown man

0:22:51 > 0:22:55is actually controlled by their ten-year-old self.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58They are constantly urging you to bunk off work

0:22:58 > 0:23:02and spend the mortgage payment on something far more exciting.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05I myself, I like to buy spaceships.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10I think that everyone is entitled to a "Me day".

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Everyone.

0:23:15 > 0:23:18I've got to get going.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Thank you, Dr Haskey.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25Take care. I will do.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Oh, hello.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38I wasn't expecting you.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40How was the thing with your replica?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43Oh, um...I missed it. I got waylaid at the hospital.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46That's a shame. Yeah. I'm behind on my paperwork, so I thought I'd...

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Um...how was your day?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, I was looking for a job and then I found a job,

0:23:51 > 0:23:54and then it turns out there never was a job.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56And heaven knows you're miserable now.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59I'm all right. Something came up.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01No, no, no. It was Morrissey, you know.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03# And heaven knows I'm miserable now. #

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yeah? PHONE RINGS

0:24:05 > 0:24:07No. Hello, Mill Health Centre.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Oh! Yes. No, he's here.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Um...it's Mrs Leyton.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Hey, Verity. How's Cleo doing?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19'Yeah, she's fine, but I've just realised'

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Blake still has your spaceship.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23I'm so sorry. In all the stress, I just...

0:24:23 > 0:24:27No, it's fine. He can keep it.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29No, I'll bring it to you tomorrow. No.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33I think it's best that it's played with and not sat on some shelf.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35Are you sure?

0:24:35 > 0:24:39Yeah, I'm sure. And he really liked it, didn't he? Yeah.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43And, er...just so you know,

0:24:43 > 0:24:45my husband and I have had a discussion

0:24:45 > 0:24:48and we've both agreed he's a complete idiot.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53And, er...we're going to have a Verity and Duncan day once a month.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57Well, that sounds like a fine idea to me.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Thank you. Bye-bye.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01OK. Bye.

0:25:06 > 0:25:07What?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11It turns out you are a mature, fully-formed adult after all.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15VALERIE CHUCKLES

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Valerie?

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oi! That could have blinded me.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Why don't we tell her we couldn't get planning permission?

0:25:25 > 0:25:26Or the house is subsiding?

0:25:26 > 0:25:28You need to be straight with her.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30It'll make things worse if you lie. OK.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Hey, Mum. You look good.

0:25:32 > 0:25:36I was just saying to Zara that we should all go on a family day out soon.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Anywhere you fancy. Perhaps a safari park?

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Remember that time the giraffe ate your hat? Ha!

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Why are you being strange with me?

0:25:44 > 0:25:45I'm not.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Get to the point.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49There's something I need to say first.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53I don't want the granny flat.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55What? That's a shame. Are you sure?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58I've still too much life left in me.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'm a passionate woman

0:26:00 > 0:26:02whose body aches with desire and longing.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Too much information, Mum.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08And I'm not letting a bunch of judgmental gossips

0:26:08 > 0:26:12make me hide away in a drab garage conversion in dreary suburbia.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14It would've been quite nice, actually.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18I know you were looking forward to having me here and I do appreciate it,

0:26:18 > 0:26:23but I'm flying back to Crete tomorrow.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27We understand. Oh, that's a relief!

0:26:27 > 0:26:29I thought you'd be upset...

0:26:29 > 0:26:31now we've bonded.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Oh! Sorry, I must pack.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Oh! Did you want to say something?

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Er...no. No, no. Just glad you're feeling better.

0:26:43 > 0:26:48I never thought I'd say this, but I might actually miss her.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Wow!

0:26:50 > 0:26:52ZARA CHUCKLES

0:26:55 > 0:26:57She is such a hypocrite!

0:26:57 > 0:26:58Who? Mrs Tembe.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00She can't wait to get rid of me.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04These kids need all the help they can get. Our kids need help!

0:27:04 > 0:27:07These kids have serious problems!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09You could've stayed at mine. Really?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Well, it's better than your desk.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa! What are you doing?

0:27:13 > 0:27:16You should never go back inside a burning building.

0:27:47 > 0:27:48BEEPING

0:27:48 > 0:27:50What exactly happened? No idea.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54How are we supposed to treat him when we don't know what's wrong?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56If something happens to me... I'd love it if you took the kids.
