0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello, stranger.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Happy New Year!

0:00:42 > 0:00:45I thought I might have seen you over Christmas.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47I did pop round with some mince pies.

0:00:48 > 0:00:49Oh, you know...

0:00:51 > 0:00:53You kept pretty well much to yourself, did you?

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Or, or did you go away?

0:00:55 > 0:00:56I was here.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Oh, on your ownsome? The whole time?

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Yeah, I'm not much for company.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Ah, it's a funny old time of year, isn't it?

0:01:05 > 0:01:06Christmas?

0:01:06 > 0:01:09No, now, it's like that kiddie's book -

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Always Winter, Never Christmas.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14You're hanging on for spring, aren't you?

0:01:14 > 0:01:15Morning.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Something like that.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Tinselitis. That's what my Noreen always used to call it.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Post-Christmas blues.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Easy to let life just slip by, eh?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Hey, do you fancy a cup of tea?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31I've stuff needs doing.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Just the one. I can probably rustle up a bit of cake.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Go on, keep an old man company?

0:01:37 > 0:01:40You're not going to take no for an answer, are you?

0:01:40 > 0:01:41That's the ticket. Come on.

0:01:46 > 0:01:52Good. I was hoping for a debrief on our first evening shift.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Hang on, "our" first evening shift?

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Very well, Dr Haskey, your first evening shift.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Miss Pitman has already discussed patient numbers,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05but from your perspective, what was your impression?

0:02:05 > 0:02:07It was a definite learning curve.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11That is an unusually neutral response from you.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13It was informative and I learned a lot.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19As you have told me on so many occasions,

0:02:19 > 0:02:23you are an innovator and invaluable to the practice.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28So, I look forward to a more "innovative" account in due course.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31I look forward to giving you one.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I thought it was all very subdued.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Well, what were you expecting?

0:02:40 > 0:02:41I don't know, a bit more drama.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45A bit more, "Oh, thank goodness there was someone here at this late hour,"

0:02:45 > 0:02:48OK, Valerie, be careful what you wish for.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Still, it's early days and they all seemed very normal.

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Well, everybody seems normal

0:02:53 > 0:02:56when they're passing through reception, don't they?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Oh, yeah, and you have them for all of ten minutes.

0:02:59 > 0:03:0199.9% of patients don't reveal who

0:03:01 > 0:03:04they really are until they're behind a closed door.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06I prefer to be less cynical.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Oh, well, we'll see what happens tonight.- Why?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, last night was a full moon.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16Tonight we might get a few patients with lupine complications.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Lupine?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Of or pertaining to the moon.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Is that a real thing?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Yeah, lupine. L-U-P-I-N-E, lupine.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Ooh, got it.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31"Of wolf or wolves".

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Oh, I get it, "Werewolves".

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Where wolves? There wolves, Valerie!

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Ha-ha-ha. You're hilarious...

0:03:43 > 0:03:44Thank you.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Do you hear much, from the bus company?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Have they talked to you since the...?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54The accident? Only when they're obliged to.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Officially I'm still on sick leave.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Well, it's all in the past, isn't it, surely?

0:04:02 > 0:04:06New Year, new start, Patrick. Time to move forward.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11Almost a year to the day. I think they're hoping I'll resign.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15What, just slink away? Don't you dare!

0:04:18 > 0:04:23Look, tell me if I'm talking out of turn, but maybe it's time you

0:04:23 > 0:04:26thought of getting some different advice.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27You know, get yourself out of this slump.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Like what?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well, I know you're at the Mill, same as me.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I've got an appointment for this evening...

0:04:34 > 0:04:35I wouldn't get one this late.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38No, see, they've started doing appointments right up

0:04:38 > 0:04:40until half past eight.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Now, we could split a taxi.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45Phone's over there.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Why don't you give them a call, see if they can help?

0:04:50 > 0:04:51You need someone.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58You know, it is actually amazing how I'm learning to

0:04:58 > 0:05:00control my eating habits.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01Hmm. You don't say.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Yeah. Mm - time for my hot water and lemon.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yeah, I'm off the alcohol,

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I'm eating a mainly plant-based diet and I feel fantastic.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14All of this in less than 48 hours?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16I know! I'm amazed too.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19That looks interesting?

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Actually, you just might be the person

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I need. Er, Mrs Tembe said you are an innovator.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Well, in some things. Not all.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31So, could you recommend any apps?

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Dieting apps?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35No, not dieting.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37No, I just want to track my regime

0:05:37 > 0:05:39in a kind of a 21st-century way?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK, well, there are apps out there which will guarantee you

0:05:41 > 0:05:43that your food gets to you within 30 minutes.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46If it doesn't, you get your delivery free.

0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Ah.- But that's fast food, not fasting food. Hmm.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a regime of my own to keep up.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'll cut right to it since we're both busy men.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's, er, nothing life or death.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05If you can just sort me out with a prescription, I'll be on my way.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Just one moment.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10I need something stronger, that's all.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Is this for the back pain still?

0:06:11 > 0:06:13The pain is starting to get in the way of me

0:06:13 > 0:06:16doing my job properly and my boss is starting to make comments.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18I need things resolved, like, soon as.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Well, you've already been on pain relief longer than

0:06:21 > 0:06:22I'd like for this sort of problem.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Well, I'm not mad about it myself.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27And the physio hasn't made any difference? No new problems?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29No, on both counts.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Well, at this stage I'd like to be lowering the dosage,

0:06:31 > 0:06:33not giving you something stronger.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Ah, that doesn't work for me.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Well, erm, I will give you another repeat of the dosage you've

0:06:38 > 0:06:39been on so far.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Increasing the dose might mask any underlying problems which

0:06:42 > 0:06:43we should explore.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47That's it?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm going to send you for another X-ray, since you're not improving.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53We'll get the results and then we'll take it from there.

0:06:53 > 0:06:54All right. Fine.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59You should hear from St Phil's within six to eight weeks.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Great. Cheers, Dr Clay.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Ooh, sorry. Jimmi, today is your lucky day!

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I doubt it, but go on.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09You're scheduled to do the evening shift, this evening, yeah?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11What if I told you a kind, generous

0:07:11 > 0:07:15and rather handsome colleague was offering to swap shifts?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'd say we didn't have any handsome colleagues and what have you done with the real Al Haskey?

0:07:18 > 0:07:21The one who doesn't like the idea of working longer hours?

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I'm right here and I want to take your place.

0:07:23 > 0:07:24Two evenings in a row?

0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's some serious brownie points you're storing there.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, I'm just finding it really educational.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32OK, well, if no-one has specifically asked to see me, you know?

0:07:32 > 0:07:36No, no, I've checked, there ain't nobody. You are not loved.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37I am loved. You love me.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39That's true, I do. Very, very deeply.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Very.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Right, she's down for a nap.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48I can't believe how quickly you can settle her.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Well, hopefully, she'll sleep until it's time to go,

0:07:50 > 0:07:52so I can get everything ready.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, I can't believe you're leaving so soon.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58I know. Still, we had Christmas with you and Rob.

0:07:58 > 0:08:04And that gave me enough time to help me get her into a routine, so...yeah.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08That is going to make things so much easier, I promise.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yeah, well, once we get on the estate, it'll be different.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Carlene will understand.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15No, I mean about the noise at the flats. It's never quiet.

0:08:15 > 0:08:19Erm, well, that's, that's just going to be like living by a train line,

0:08:19 > 0:08:20isn't it?

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I mean, if Darcy grows up with it, she's never going to hear it, probably.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Hmm, I hope so.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26And it's not going to be forever.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Carlene, she is always going to be there for you.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30I bet she can't wait.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Do you think? Nah.

0:08:32 > 0:08:38- What?- It's just I don't really know Carlene that well, do I?

0:08:38 > 0:08:40And here I am, packing up everything to go and live there.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42You'll be fine.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Will I?- Yes.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah. Sorry, you're right.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51It's just... Having a wobbly moment, it's just a lot to think about.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Yeah, well, we all do, don't we, when things change?

0:08:54 > 0:08:56I mean, I've got to get used to not having a little baby around to

0:08:56 > 0:08:57fuss over.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59So, come on. Get these things in your bag.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01It's not going to be long now.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02Thanks.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Do you know what? Erm, I'm going to pop out for a bit.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09I'll be gone about an hour. Is that OK?

0:09:09 > 0:09:10- Yeah, sure.- Yeah?

0:09:48 > 0:09:49HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:09:52 > 0:09:55Hello, er, I, er, I need to make an appointment, please.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Evening surgery? Yes, er, I can make that.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03KNOCK ON DOOR Come in.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11- Hiya.- Karen? Aren't I coming to you? Not late, am I?

0:10:11 > 0:10:15No, no, erm, I just wanted a private word.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Er, I wanted to check what support there's going to

0:10:18 > 0:10:21be for Lily now that she's leaving foster care.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24Sit down. Erm, yeah, in what way?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27I mean, things are going to be difficult, it's going to be

0:10:27 > 0:10:29cramped at Carlene's, there's not going to be much money...

0:10:29 > 0:10:30There never is.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34The system can't cover everything, no matter how much you stretch the budget.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36No, I know that. It's at breaking point, it always is.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I was thinking more about practical support?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Well, we're not overly worried.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46She's good with the baby and, bottom line, Karen,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48she's moving in with family,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50which is what we always push for, if we can.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yeah, but she wants to stay in full-time education,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55so that means that she's going to have to find childcare.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58And, I mean, she's a child herself.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00And I'm worried that she's not going to... That she won't

0:11:00 > 0:11:03admit that she can't cope for fear of losing Darcy.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Which is worst-case scenario,

0:11:05 > 0:11:08but we'd do everything to ensure that they're not split up.

0:11:08 > 0:11:09And she knows that.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12So you're not going to be completely out of the picture?

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Look, I'll be there to pick her up and take her to Carlene's,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17but right now, there's others that need my help.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19OK.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Hmm, hmm... Ah, got you. That's great, please take a seat.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Evening, love. Edwin Wolf to see Dr Haskey, 6.10.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34That's fine, Mr Wolf.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38But if you could work a bit of magic and get this gentleman in first.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, and you are?

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Patrick Boyton.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Right. And you have an appointment? OK.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Are you sure? - Absolutely.

0:11:46 > 0:11:53Right. Let's have a look. Er... Ooh, hang on... Argh!

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Sorry, computer's having a bit of a sulk.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Erm, just take a seat.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00All right.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05And remember to drink lots of fluids.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12Ah, slight problem. The computer in reception has gone down.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Frozen completely.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Right. Have you tried putting it into defrost mode?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22OK, er, mine's gone too.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Ooh.- Hiya.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29- What are you doing here? - Me? I live here.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31You know what I mean.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33No, I managed to get someone to cover my last hour.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36I wanted to see Lily before she went. Tea?

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yes, please.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42And where have you been?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44I wanted a word with Nathan.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Couldn't you just ring him?

0:12:46 > 0:12:47I didn't want Lily to overhear.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Yeah, I bet. I shudder to think the language you used.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52What does that mean?

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well, let me guess, that you went in there, all guns blazing,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57reading the riot act and telling him what would happen to him

0:12:57 > 0:13:01if a certain foster mum got wind of any lapses?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04I didn't threaten anyone.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05You would say that.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I'm not saying I won't swing for you in a minute.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Oh, lucky me. Just another day, then.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'll miss them too, you know.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Same problem?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yeah, it doesn't want to behave, system error throughout.

0:13:20 > 0:13:21So...

0:13:23 > 0:13:25..I'll see if I can go in the back way without doing a full reboot.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28You'd best go and give them your full charm offensive, Valerie.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30They are not going to like it.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35The wait, I mean, not my charm. Well, fingers crossed.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Oliver Tallis to see Dr Haskey.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48Right. Er, I'm sorry, everybody. There will be a slight delay.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49It's because we have a system problem.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53But Dr Haskey's sorting it, so it shouldn't be too long.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Not that blackmailing virus, I hope? Like last year?

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Oh, no, no, definitely not.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00We keep all our security bang up-to-date.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Not to worry, then.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04How long will it be?

0:14:04 > 0:14:07No time at all. Dr Haskey is our resident IT wizard.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Lucky he's here.

0:14:09 > 0:14:15Lucky us. Er, tell me, how did GPs ever manage before computers?

0:14:15 > 0:14:16Actually...

0:14:16 > 0:14:17The same way we all did.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19So, maybe you could find a pen and paper somewhere?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's not her fault.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22No, no, it's not.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's, er, it's ours for being so stupidly dependent on them.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Er, Mr Tallis, I do understand your frustration,

0:14:29 > 0:14:32but actually we are a paper-less surgery,

0:14:32 > 0:14:35so no computer means we can't easily access patient records.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37And, er, what about prescriptions?

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Have they disappeared in this paperless utopia?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42I'm sure we won't be running too far behind or perhaps

0:14:42 > 0:14:44I could reschedule for you?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49It won't make any difference to me, I expect.

0:14:49 > 0:14:50Why's that?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Shouldn't think I'll need a prescription.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Not sure I'd take anything, anyway.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Wait and see what the doctor says.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Have a bit more faith in the NHS to find an answer.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03I don't think I...

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Look, you ought to do whatever's recommended,

0:15:07 > 0:15:13Patrick. Think how lucky we are to have an NHS in the first place.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14He's right.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15Sorry?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17You should take what you can get.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19They'll soon charge you for it through your taxes,

0:15:19 > 0:15:20whether you use it or not.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Get your money's worth.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Not quite how I would put it, but point taken.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Where's the gents?

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Just through there.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36Ah, hang on. Hah. Yep! Up and running again.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Well done.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well, Skynet put up a good fight, but I bested it, as usual.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Mr Wolf?

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, no, actually they've swapped appointments.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- So, you're seeing Mr Boyton next. - Fair enough, Mr Boyton?

0:16:00 > 0:16:01You lost something?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03No, just making a final check.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07You all packed?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Erm, Rob's bringing down the bags

0:16:09 > 0:16:12and all I've got to do is put Darcy in her car seat and that is it.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14You're off.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Come here, you.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Ooh, it's going to feel so empty here without you both.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Give it five minutes, I'm sure you'll be happy for the peace

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- and quiet again. - I don't think so. Hey.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29- What's this? - It's for a rainy day.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Karen.- Don't tell Rob.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Er, there's still, er, one bag left upstairs.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41But that's because it's open,

0:16:41 > 0:16:43so I'm guessing that you hadn't finished packing it yet.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44Thanks, Rob.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I've not been able to drive...

0:16:54 > 0:16:56..sleep...

0:16:58 > 0:17:00..think.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Natural stupidity at its best.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Hmm. You feel like you stepped into a fog?

0:17:08 > 0:17:09Sorry.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12I remember what happened.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I still see her face.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Patrick, you were cleared of all blame.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31What happened was a terrible, tragic accident.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36She had no chance, you know.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41I couldn't stop the bus in time and it was January, the road was icy.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44And all the witnesses said that

0:17:44 > 0:17:46that's why she lost control of her bike.

0:17:47 > 0:17:52You've been carrying this around for such a long time, this blame.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I can't help myself.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's good that you've come to see me.

0:17:58 > 0:18:02Um, I take it that the counselling you were offered, that didn't help?

0:18:05 > 0:18:06I never went.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10I couldn't face talking about it.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Well, you're talking about it now to me. That's a start.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20I feel like...

0:18:24 > 0:18:27..like...like two people died that day.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31This is all that's left.

0:18:40 > 0:18:41That's everything.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Nathan's packed the car, so you're all set.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47That's it. You're both off to your new home.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53Erm, Darcy's not very good with her words yet,

0:18:53 > 0:18:57but she'd say thanks for everything.

0:18:57 > 0:18:58She's very welcome.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03Erm, have you got everything? I thought there were some muslins...

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Oh, yeah, in the airing cupboard. Erm, I've, I've already packed them.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07I've double checked.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I'll triple check. - Has she gone to cry?

0:19:10 > 0:19:14Why do you think she's gone upstairs? How are you feeling?

0:19:14 > 0:19:20Er, suddenly scared, but... I'm all right, I think.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Ooh, er, there's no need to tell Karen.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30It's for emergencies and nothing else. Quick, quick, quick.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31Put it away.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36No, can't see anything. So, that's it.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39I couldn't have done any of this without the pair of you both.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40Oh...

0:19:40 > 0:19:43This past year has been mental

0:19:43 > 0:19:46and you've just shown me that I can do it. I really can.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- You take care. - You'd better get going.

0:19:52 > 0:19:53Oh, hang on.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57- Rumbled.- Rob!

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Don't "Rob" me, you're just as bad.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Look at the pair of you both!

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Honestly, you should try talking sometime.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- You keep it.- Keep it.

0:20:11 > 0:20:12Thank you.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Erm, don't come out. Goodbyes are boring.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33How much did you give her?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Probably nowhere as much as you did.

0:20:36 > 0:20:37You cheapskate.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49All right?

0:20:50 > 0:20:53No. But I will be. Hopefully.

0:20:55 > 0:20:56Not sorry you came, then?

0:20:56 > 0:20:57OK, Mr Wolf?

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Erm, I can go a bit longer, if someone wants to go ahead of me?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07I think I'm more useful here.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Ah, right. OK. That would be Mr Tallis.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12OK, Mr Tallis. Want to come round?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16You're welcome!

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Some people...

0:21:20 > 0:21:23We're going to get you sorted, me and Dr Haskey, all right?

0:21:27 > 0:21:28I'm glad you made me do this.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33Sometimes it takes an outsider to see what's really going on.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37So, if you could, er, see your way to giving me something stronger,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41I can get on with my job, you get on with yours, everyone wins.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Do they? - How do you mean?

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Well, according to your records,

0:21:45 > 0:21:48you had a prescription issued less than three hours ago.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52What? That's not right.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Ah... Well, if you could confirm your address and date of birth

0:21:55 > 0:21:56for me.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58But you're going to be the only Oliver Tallis

0:21:58 > 0:21:59we have on our records.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Your computer was down when I got here.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02It must have caused a mix-up.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Hmm, software can't falsify records

0:22:05 > 0:22:09and it certainly can't write prescriptions for painkillers.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11It's still a mistake.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14How long have you been addicted to codeine, Mr Tallis?

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Excuse me?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20Well, judging by the number of repeat

0:22:20 > 0:22:24prescriptions in the last six months, I'd say that either you

0:22:24 > 0:22:28have got a serious substance abuse problem or you're selling it on.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Do I look like some homeless, smelly junky to you?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Well, dependency doesn't discriminate.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38I'm sure to the untrained eye you look perfectly normal.

0:22:38 > 0:22:39Oh, thank you.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Yeah, but my eye is very well trained.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45I recognise a high-functioning addict when I see one.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48The irritation, the paranoia, the twitching.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I'll have your job for this.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53The meaningless threats. Come on, man, right on cue!

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Tell you what, how about I call Dr Clay,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00see if he'll confirm that it was you I saw coming out of his office this

0:23:00 > 0:23:04afternoon, clutching a prescription in your shaky little hand.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Or, even better still, I could refer you to a clinic and get you the help...

0:23:07 > 0:23:12Shove your clinic! Whatever you think, I don't need your help.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38OK, Mr Wolf.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41You take a seat and tell me what I can help you with.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Hey, what's the hurry?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47I've got a ten-minute appointment and I intend to make full use of it.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49As is your right.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Right. First up,

0:23:51 > 0:23:54I made an evening appointment out of support for this new

0:23:54 > 0:23:57whatchamacallit, er, initiative.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59But I'm not impressed.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02I think you might want to inform the powers that be that

0:24:02 > 0:24:04I will be writing to them on the matter.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07I'm sure they'll appreciate the constructive criticism.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Though, to be fair to yourself, I think

0:24:09 > 0:24:11you've done well by my neighbour, Mr Boyton.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Obviously, I can't discuss another patient with you,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17but how about you tell me what you've come to see me for?

0:24:17 > 0:24:21Well, nothing so dramatic. Er, repeat prescription.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22OK, and what for?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Paracetamol.

0:24:25 > 0:24:26What?

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I know my rights. You can't refuse.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Can I help?

0:24:43 > 0:24:46You do realise that this packet of paracetamol would cost you

0:24:46 > 0:24:49a whole 16p in a supermarket,

0:24:49 > 0:24:53as opposed to the £2.50 it costs the NHS?

0:24:53 > 0:24:56I'm a pensioner. I don't pay for prescriptions.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59So 16p or £2.50, it makes no odds.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Right. It doesn't come out of your pocket.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Wrong, it's come out of there time and again in the past.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09National insurance, PAYE, take your pick.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16Mr Tallis! No, no, you're not listening...

0:25:16 > 0:25:18- You can't come back here.- Thank you. - We haven't...

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Now, about this letter.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22No! Argh!

0:25:22 > 0:25:23What the..?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26- I can't help you, I'm afraid. - There must be something.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Oi! What's going on?!

0:25:28 > 0:25:30I tried explaining to him that we

0:25:30 > 0:25:33don't keep strong drugs on the premises but he won't believe me.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35OK, look, you don't have to hurt anyone.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Shut up! Just give me what I want.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39I don't believe the lies she's telling me.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42Um, yeah, you're right, um, we do keep some special stuff

0:25:42 > 0:25:46here for emergencies, but, but only the doctors know about it.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I knew it!- Yeah, she doesn't know what she's talking about,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52so how about you let her go and I'll get you some, yeah?

0:25:52 > 0:25:53What do you take me for?!

0:25:53 > 0:25:59It's really good stuff. Very strong, potent, and it lasts for days.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00But, but I can't let you hurt Valerie.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02SHE SHRIEKS

0:26:03 > 0:26:05Ah, actually, I've got some here!

0:26:05 > 0:26:07This is Hydrophenalbarbitol.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I have to carry it around in case of emergencies

0:26:09 > 0:26:12and this is an emergency, isn't it, so would you like?

0:26:19 > 0:26:20Stay still!

0:26:20 > 0:26:22Valerie, sweetheart, call the police.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Blimey. Are you OK?

0:26:24 > 0:26:28- OK? Did you not just see that?! - Get off!

0:26:28 > 0:26:29He's the man of the hour.

0:26:29 > 0:26:30I hope you took note of that

0:26:30 > 0:26:32and you're going to put it in your letter!

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Er, Police. Mill Health Centre.

0:26:35 > 0:26:38That was best the takedown I have ever seen!

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Really, you should be wearing your underpants on the outside

0:26:41 > 0:26:43of your trousers and have a cape that flaps in the breeze.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Get off! I'll have you!

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Shut up!

0:26:47 > 0:26:49All of that for peppermints?

0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I really hope you think it was worth it.- Mints?!

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Yeah. The, er, extra strong variety.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57We all have our habits, don't we?

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Sam? What's going on?

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Nothing's going on.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11I take your time.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12No! It's good that you call me.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14I am here to help you.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17That's a very big accusation.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20It should be him sitting here, not me.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22What exactly is going on between you and Sam?
