0:01:03 > 0:01:04Gregory?

0:01:04 > 0:01:05Hello? What's the matter, love?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07It's probably nothing, but did you move it?

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Did I move what?

0:01:08 > 0:01:11The meteor. It was in your study, now it's in the nursery.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15No, I haven't moved it.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Look, it's all right. I'll be back as soon as I can.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19It must have been me.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20'Yeah.'

0:01:20 > 0:01:21I must have moved...

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Ignore me, I'm not thinking straight.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28There's a lot on your mind.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Go get 'em.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31'Hope the interview goes well.'

0:01:31 > 0:01:32As soon as I'm finished...

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Yeah, I know.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hey. Emma's giving me a lesson in probability.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44I was just saying I was at this private members' club last night.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46And all right, I might have been playing a little blackjack.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Right. But it was a great atmosphere, fun people,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52and most importantly, I won some money.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53And on a school night.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Yes, well, it may surprise you, Sid, but I am over 18.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Anyway, I met this maths graduate from Cambridge,

0:01:59 > 0:02:02and he turns out to be a professional blackjack player.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04He has a system... Here we go.

0:02:04 > 0:02:101326 it's called - minimal risk, maximum potential for profit.

0:02:10 > 0:02:131326? What is it, the combination for the casino safe?

0:02:13 > 0:02:14I don't know.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29With blackjack, though, if you make the wrong call,

0:02:29 > 0:02:31you can really throw everyone else's game.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Lot of responsibility. Mm.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37I'm sorry, I'm wittering on.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40How are you? What have you been up to recently?

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Are you still doing your photography? Not so much.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47Oh. How about the real-ale thing you were doing with Al?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Are you still going?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51No, not really.

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Right.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56So is there anything going on?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02I did get excited about the autumn previews for TV.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05There's some good programmes coming on.

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Really?

0:03:06 > 0:03:08No, Emma.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I haven't really got much going on at the moment, that's all.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Well, some advice from a friend. You need to get a life.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16I've got one. It's just not very interesting.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Hiya, is it OK to park here? I've got a house call next door.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I'll only be ten minutes. Is it OK?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Hello? The car.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49What? Yes.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Are you all right?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Have you locked yourself out?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm just waiting. That's all.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00You were at the surgery, weren't you? With Ruhma?

0:04:00 > 0:04:01I'm Ayesha, a nurse at the Mill.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Is that your overnight bag?

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Yes.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Why don't you wait inside?

0:04:10 > 0:04:16Sorry, I'm just a bit anxious about the hospital.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's just I need to be told what to do.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, well, how about I tell you?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Come on.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Is there anyone I can call?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37My husband will be back soon.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Are you having contractions?

0:04:39 > 0:04:40No.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42But I've got to find out what things I need to get before he gets back.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46It's very important. Things for the baby? Mm.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, I hope everything goes well for you at the hospital.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53What's this? Lucky rock?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's a meteor. Sorry?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Ignore me, I'm just a bit away with the fairies today.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01But don't worry, Gregory will be back soon.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04You know how hormones can make you.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06So you'll be OK?

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Of course. I've got my pet rock. I'm fine.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12All right, see you.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27It's all right.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Don't worry. I'll get what you need.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38LOW HUMMING SHE GASPS

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Oh, I thought Emma was in here.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Nah, just me. You'll do.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54They're not really me.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58Serious head on. I need an opinion.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00This one says calm, ordered.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02This one a little bit more fun. Someone who likes a laugh.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Which? Hmm.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07I've got to get this right.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I need all the help I can get at this panel meeting.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Just be yourself. You're going to be a great foster mum.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Is it "fun mum" or "sensible mum"?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16They just want a mum.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19Oh, I wish I wasn't bricking it so much.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20OK, that one.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22This one? Thank you.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32I'll get the things you need. I'll get all of it.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34I just need to know where to...

0:06:34 > 0:06:37LOW HUMMING

0:06:37 > 0:06:41Right, I'll do that. I'll do that.

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Hang on for me.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Oh, I saw something you'd like.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Oh?

0:06:53 > 0:06:54A meteor.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59No way. Way.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01It was about this big.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05OK? Fragments that size rarely make it through the atmosphere.

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Where was this? I went on a house call.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08The woman next door was acting a bit strangely.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Had it in her bag.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11She'd have got it on the internet.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16Or maybe...it came from Barwell.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18You've heard of Barwell, Ayesha?

0:07:18 > 0:07:2250 years ago. Collectors from all over the planet descended on it

0:07:22 > 0:07:24trying to find such a fragment.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25Maybe it was that, then.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29My pal Professor Anton Vasiloff wrote

0:07:29 > 0:07:32a fascinating document about it. Did I ever tell you about it?

0:07:32 > 0:07:33I'd better crack on.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Maybe we should get this lady in.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39And she could bring the meteor in with her!

0:07:39 > 0:07:41She seemed OK, just a bit distracted.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I think we should check it over. Check her over.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Right.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Hi, Sarah, it's me. Hope you're all right.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06The first interview went OK,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09I'm just waiting for the psychometric test.

0:08:09 > 0:08:15But I wanted to say, we can get rid of that meteor if it's bugging you.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19I want to do everything I can to make this easier.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Mr Garrod.

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Got to go.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31PHONE CHIMES

0:08:42 > 0:08:43What are you doing in here?

0:08:43 > 0:08:45The woman on the desk was looking at a jacket.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47You can't just...

0:08:47 > 0:08:48I thought you'd be at the hospital.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50They sent me home.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I need some iodine. I was told you'd have some.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54You can't just come in and steal stuff.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55You don't understand.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I have to keep my side of the bargain.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59I have to do what it tells me. What who tells you?

0:09:01 > 0:09:06Look. You're not in any trouble. Just tell me what your name is.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Sarah. Sarah Garrod. But I don't have much time.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Who's telling you to do this, Sarah?

0:09:10 > 0:09:11The meteor.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Why don't I give Dr Haskey a call, yeah?

0:09:18 > 0:09:19He knows all about meteors.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Karen, is Al around?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33OK, no worries.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41OK, follow me.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Time waster.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Faking it.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56SHE COUGHS

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Typhoid Mary.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04KNOCK ON DOOR

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Come in.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Do you fancy coming to the Icon for lunch? For a change.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Sorry, I can't. I need to check up on this patient.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12OK.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Anything else?

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Yeah. It's probably nothing but are you worried about Emma

0:10:19 > 0:10:20and this gambling thing?

0:10:20 > 0:10:24No. It's just a bit of escapism. And who can blame her, eh?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26She could lose some serious money.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm sure she can afford it.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30You should stop worrying about other people and grab

0:10:30 > 0:10:32a bit of escapism yourself.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34You think? Yeah.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Why don't you come to the casino with us tomorrow night and

0:10:37 > 0:10:39release your inner James Bond?

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Yeah, OK.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42SCOTTISH ACCENT: See you later, Miss Moneypenny.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43That was dreadful.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45No, that was Connery.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46No. It wasn't.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01Come on now, this is everything, everything that

0:11:01 > 0:11:03you have asked me to do.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08I've kept...

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I've done my side of the bargain. Come on now.

0:11:14 > 0:11:20Yeah, I'm still waiting here. So much for streamlining.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23PHONE RINGS

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Yeah, what is it?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26I just wanted to talk to you about Sarah Garrod.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Who?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30The meteor woman. She's taken some things from the surgery.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33She says a voice is telling her to do it.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Right. Anything in her notes?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38She had a depressive episode when she was 18. Nothing since.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42'She's pregnant and her due date is any day now.'

0:11:42 > 0:11:45OK, well, with her history, it could be auditory hallucinations.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK. There's something else I wanted to know.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49And this is going to sound really weird.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52But she thinks there's something growing inside the meteor.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54You're winding me up, right?

0:11:54 > 0:11:55No!

0:11:55 > 0:11:59She really believes it. She thinks the voice is coming from the meteor.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Well, those that made it to the ground never showed these

0:12:02 > 0:12:05signs of life. But who is to say what is out there?

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Yeah, thanks very much for that, Professor.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11'Just keep me in the loop, with the research. Thank you.'

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Helpful, great(!)

0:12:14 > 0:12:18So, do I get an apology for having been kept waiting for so long?

0:12:18 > 0:12:21I'm so sorry for keeping you waiting.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Is that sarcasm, Victoria?

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Is that what you think it was?

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Well, was that therapy there?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Believe me. I wouldn't have the time.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Shall we? Yes, let's.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43Sarah, it's Ayesha from the Mill. Please let me in.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46You're not in any trouble. I just want to help!

0:12:48 > 0:12:52I know you've got everything that you need, but I'm a nurse.

0:12:52 > 0:12:53Surely I can help too?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57And my colleague who knows about meteors,

0:12:57 > 0:12:59he's just told me all about them.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Thanks for letting me in.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21You were making too much noise.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Leave it!

0:13:23 > 0:13:24You don't understand, do you?

0:13:24 > 0:13:26It's clear you don't know what you're doing.

0:13:26 > 0:13:31It's OK. She won't interfere.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34She won't stop. It's speaking to you right now?

0:13:34 > 0:13:37You won't be able to hear it. It's made the deal with me.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Just stay away. You mustn't...

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Looks like you've got everything ready.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47Yes. It's helped me.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49LOW HUMMING

0:13:49 > 0:13:52It's nearly time! Look! See?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54See what? HUMMING STOPS

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Where did you get that?!

0:14:01 > 0:14:03You weren't using it. Besides, this is an emergency.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09What's inside it, Sarah?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11I don't know what it is.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15But I have to help it. Help it break through and live.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18What about the baby? Shouldn't that be your focus?

0:14:18 > 0:14:21It's all connected. I help it, it helps me.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23How does it help you, Sarah?

0:14:23 > 0:14:25It gives me my baby.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's natural to feel anxious and scared

0:14:27 > 0:14:28when you're about to give birth.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32It can seem like a terrifying thing to do.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34I can't leave it. It made the deal with me.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39So, what, you help it hatch, and it ensures you deliver a healthy baby?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41No. It gives me my baby back.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53It completely reinvents the genre, it's very meta.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56I like that, and who doesn't love Bernadette Peters?

0:14:56 > 0:14:59OK, well, thank you for your thoughts on Deadpool, Al.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01And for the latest on Doctor Who.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03But perhaps we should get down to business?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Yes, perhaps we should.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09OK, so you were referred for a fasting blood glucose test by...

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Come on.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14It was Dr Salter. You were at a convention.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Yes, I was.

0:15:16 > 0:15:18It was interesting that you wait until you'll know I'll be at

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Sword and Sorcery before coming in for your test.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25What are you inferring, Victoria?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27So you've come for the results?

0:15:27 > 0:15:29That's if you can access them.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I can't at the minute. Gremlins.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36So tell me the symptoms that made you want a glucose test.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39My symptoms are going to be with my records.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Which are temporarily awol.

0:15:42 > 0:15:46Besides, I like to hear it direct from my patients, and as

0:15:46 > 0:15:49you saw Dr Salter, and not me, symptoms?

0:15:50 > 0:15:55All right. Symptoms are thirsty. I'm thirsty a lot of the time.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57And?

0:16:01 > 0:16:06Your records haven't updated with ours yet. Yeah.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Thanks for your help. Bye.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18I've spoken to St Phil's.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26But it can be all right. It can all be OK. It said so.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27I'm so sorry, Sarah.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32Now you know why I've got to...

0:16:32 > 0:16:35There's no other way, is there? I've been offered a second chance.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37But this won't bring her back.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Listen, I can help you.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47There are people you can talk to.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50No. They will understand this and they can find ways to help.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58All right.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Just give me a moment, yeah?

0:17:06 > 0:17:07OK.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Sarah! Please let me in. Sarah, please open the door.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Stay away! It's coming. LOW HUMMING

0:17:20 > 0:17:21It's nearly time!

0:17:22 > 0:17:23Open the door!

0:17:27 > 0:17:33So, tiredness. Increased thirst. Increased frequency of urination.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Is that everything?

0:17:35 > 0:17:36It'll be nothing.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Just wanted to tick it off the old list of possibilities.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Al, you know these symptoms justified having a glucose test.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45You know that this could be diabetes.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Well, we're not going to rush to any conclusions, Victoria.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Yeah, but the time you're taking, we're not.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54I want you to try and think sideways.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59Think outside that particular diabetes-shaped box.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03OK. Have you made any lifestyle changes since we last spoke about

0:18:03 > 0:18:06your raised sugar levels? Yes, I have.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10I walked to Lichfield. That is 38 miles.

0:18:10 > 0:18:15Excellent. Good. OK, any other forms of regular exercise?

0:18:15 > 0:18:18HE MUMBLES

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Nope.

0:18:20 > 0:18:21OK. What about beer?

0:18:21 > 0:18:24It's a bit early. But as long as you're buying.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26HE CHUCKLES

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Come on, you walked into that one.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29You joke when you're nervous, don't you?

0:18:29 > 0:18:30I'm not nervous.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Dr Salter wasn't like this.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38The thing is, Al, you chose me as your regular doctor.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40After researching all of us.

0:18:40 > 0:18:42I thought you appreciated my directness.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44I do.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46OK. How many units do you drink?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Let's say three?

0:18:51 > 0:18:52SHE SCOFFS

0:18:52 > 0:18:53All right, fine, eight?

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Eight, OK. A week? Don't be silly.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58A day?

0:18:58 > 0:19:03On average. You're factoring in weekends and stuff.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Yeah, about eight.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Sarah! Please, just open the door. Who are you?

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I'm Ayesha, from the Mill Health Centre.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15What's happening?

0:19:15 > 0:19:17She won't let me in.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20She's convinced that the meteor is trying to help her

0:19:20 > 0:19:22and it'll give her a second chance.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24She's been obsessing over that thing since we...

0:19:24 > 0:19:28Sarah, it's me!

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Go away!

0:19:30 > 0:19:32I should never have got it!

0:19:32 > 0:19:34How long have you had it?

0:19:34 > 0:19:35A couple of weeks.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38It was from my uncle.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41But Sarah kept talking about it.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43She's fascinated by it.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45She thinks it's offering her a way back.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Sarah! Please.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Open the door. We can talk.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58We never talk.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02This is my problem. I'll sort it out myself!

0:20:02 > 0:20:03I'm talking now.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08I don't know what to say.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18I'm sorry I haven't talked.

0:20:21 > 0:20:28I feel dreadful but I've kept a lid on it.

0:20:30 > 0:20:35A lid because maybe you needed me to stay in control,

0:20:35 > 0:20:37be strong for the both of us.

0:20:39 > 0:20:40I don't know.

0:20:40 > 0:20:47And part of me felt I wasn't justified to feel the same hurt.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51I'm the one who lost her.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53No-one's to blame.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I've hated seeing you in so much pain.

0:20:59 > 0:21:06But I'm devastated...we lost her.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14All that's left are scan pictures and baby things that'll never be...

0:21:18 > 0:21:21HE CRIES SOFTLY

0:21:23 > 0:21:25I cry.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I just don't let you see it.

0:21:47 > 0:21:48You haven't got diabetes.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Thank you, Erasmus Darwin!

0:21:51 > 0:21:54But your blood sugar levels are still as high as last time.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59Yeah. Or you could say that I'm stable. In a way, I've plateaued.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02You had me worrying needlessly with your doomy assumptions,

0:22:02 > 0:22:04and I have plateaued.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Presented with the evidence, Al, I was justified to say...

0:22:07 > 0:22:10It was scaremongering, Victoria. Let's be honest.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11You would have come to the same conclusion.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13But the wrong conclusion!

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Look, I thought that we were two supposedly professional people

0:22:17 > 0:22:19discussing every possibility with candour.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22I thought you preferred my straight approach.

0:22:22 > 0:22:26Candour. I think I'm going to go with Dr Salter. I liked him.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Whatever. But think about one thing.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32What caused these symptoms if it wasn't diabetes?

0:22:38 > 0:22:40OK, thank you very much. Goodbye.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51I've spoken to one of the doctors and he's put the wheels in motion.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Right. What do you think it is?

0:22:55 > 0:22:58It could be something called postpartum psychosis,

0:22:58 > 0:23:02but let's just wait till the mental health team get here.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04And people with it usually behave like this?

0:23:04 > 0:23:08There are a range of symptoms but hallucinations are common.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think it might be a good idea to get rid of the meteor.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12It seems to be a trigger for Sarah.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14But the meteor came just before.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17That must mean that they're connected.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20What's happened to you is dreadful. But it's not connected.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Sometimes when you want something so badly,

0:23:24 > 0:23:26you'll make bargains in your head.

0:23:37 > 0:23:38We'll get through this.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Do you want to know what I think? I'm sure you're going to tell me.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49I think it's raised because you are drinking too much.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52And I'm sure I could look you up on the real-ale forums and see

0:23:52 > 0:23:55you boasting about having a Splunge or a Fenton's Straight Finger.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57I don't drink to excess.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01But regularly enough. We've spoken about this before, Al.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Yes, we have.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Why do you come here, then? Hmm?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08If you don't want my help?

0:24:08 > 0:24:10You chose me out of all of the GPs in Letherbridge.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12At first, I was flattered.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16But you list the symptoms and then reject any interpretation.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19You reject any discussion.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Al, you have sugar levels that could be classed as pre-diabetes.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Can we say, "impaired glucose tolerance," please?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28We're not in America now. OK, whatever you want to call it.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30And granted, it's not diabetes today.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34But do you realise what this means for you if it does happen?

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Yes, I do.

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Potential nerve damage, loss of limbs, blindness,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41erectile dysfunction, heart disease...

0:24:41 > 0:24:43You're being an alarmist.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46But that's what you need. An alarm - a wake-up call!

0:24:46 > 0:24:48I don't want to see you back here, Al,

0:24:48 > 0:24:51until you've made some lifestyle changes!

0:24:51 > 0:24:54Hang on a minute, are you giving up on a patient?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57No, I'm not. I'm just fed up of talking to myself.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I have other patients - out there -

0:24:59 > 0:25:01who actually listen to what I have to say!

0:25:01 > 0:25:03And you're already running really late.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05If that's all?

0:25:08 > 0:25:10SHE SIGHS

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Hey. All set. What?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16I have spoken to Emma and she's cool with

0:25:16 > 0:25:18me coming to the casino with you tomorrow night.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Oh. Great, as long as you promise not to do your

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Sean Connery impression again.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Oh, he hasn't been doing that, has he?

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, come on. It's the only one I can do!

0:25:25 > 0:25:27Sid, back me up. THEY SNIGGER

0:25:27 > 0:25:28You could do Daniel Craig

0:25:28 > 0:25:30and come out of the lake just in your Speedos.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33I won't be able to unsee that, ever again.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Since I cut back on prescribing antibiotics,

0:25:35 > 0:25:37I could be Doctor No, couldn't I?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40You can come as whatever you want tomorrow,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43as long as you promise not to make a Royale idiot out of yourself.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45See what you did there! Fine.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, if you lose big, don't expect me to give you any solace.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49MILD LAUGHTER

0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm done.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Where's Al?

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Blofeld's in his room. OK.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57SCOTTISH ACCENT: See ya later.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06KNOCK ON DOOR

0:26:06 > 0:26:07Yeah.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Thanks for the advice earlier.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15Oh... Yeah, everything work out OK?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17It did for you.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21Oh.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Thank you.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25Thanks.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Is that it?

0:26:26 > 0:26:28Thought you'd be doing cartwheels the way you were banging on

0:26:28 > 0:26:31about it earlier. It's...it's amazing.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35All right, well, don't get too excited.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49So you see, I'm thinking it's a warning.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52My great-grandmother had second sight. Maybe I'm the same. Sh!

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Get off the road, you stupid woman!

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Come on, everyone. Your right of way.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Your consultant says that your memory loss may return.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02That must be something of a dark cloud?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04I try not to think about it.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07There are more important things in life than a business meeting.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09It wasn't a business meeting.
