0:00:30 > 0:00:31BARKING
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Mum? We've run out of strawberry jam!
0:00:59 > 0:01:00Mm!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hey, slow down!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I cannot help it.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I am on cloud nine!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11We did make a good team, didn't we?
0:01:11 > 0:01:12We really should celebrate.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Perhaps we should do something this weekend.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17You're on that course.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Yeah. You know, we should just take the bike and head for the open road.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Come here!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Mwah! MRS TEMBE CHUCKLES
0:01:25 > 0:01:27What did I do to deserve you?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31I have not got the faintest idea.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34But YOU are a very lucky man.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Why are you not at work? I thought you had the early shift.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Didn't I tell you?- Tell me what?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Some reorganisation. I'm not due in until much later.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I thought I'd go to the flat and sort out me laundry.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Oh. Right.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, in that case, you can do the washing-up.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Not so lucky, huh? Have a good day.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09It's not the same without jam.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Mum, what are you doing?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You did that yesterday.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And the day before.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Did what, dear?- Cleaned the kettle.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31At this rate, you're going to wear it out.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33How's your work going?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It'd be going a lot better without any distractions.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38So, now I'm a distraction?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's not what I meant.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45What are you doing?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I told you the other day.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I'm going to see a nurse at the Campus
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and then I'm going down to the shops.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56You fancy coming along?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59While you're out, could you get me these groceries?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Why can't you do it yourself?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05You haven't left the house for ages.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Come on, dear, run along.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I've got plenty of work to be getting on with.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh! Yes!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25That's it, that's it, that's it! Oh!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Have you and Heston been overdoing it?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29No, you cheeky mare.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I've overdone it with that Step Buddy.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34Probably need to give it a rest.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yeah, too right. I've had enough.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I have proved my point, it's time to move on.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Oh! Or...or not move.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42What's going on?
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Enjoying the show, boys?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- I've seen better.- No, not at all.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- Right. Thanks, Megan. You perverts! - Sorry.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Need to get your kicks somehow, eh?
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Hey, absolutely.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58No. Um...actually, I was going to pick your brains
0:03:58 > 0:04:01about Dr Noronha's course this weekend, but I can come back.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- No. Um...come and see me after my first patient.- Huh!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You're not seriously considering doing another course, are you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Here we go again.- That makes it, what, 67 this week alone?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Ha! Inside, I'm laughing. - I'm thinking about organising my own course.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18You know, designed for people who are addicted to going on courses.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19You should keep an eye out for it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I might follow it up with an audiobook!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27You should have seen the look on the panellists' faces
0:04:27 > 0:04:30when they started eating the food. Pure rapture!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Are you sure it wasn't indigestion?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Ooh. Ignore her, she's jealous.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I have nothing but the highest praise
0:04:39 > 0:04:41for the food Chef Armannsson inspired.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45And for that, I am forever in your debt.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Not at all. Glad to be of service.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Hi. Ray Barwick. I've got an appointment with the nurse.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Oh, right. Um...she'll be with you shortly.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Just want to take a seat?- Thank you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I never doubted that your efforts would be rewarded, Mrs Tembe.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01You are a force of nature.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Why, thank you, Dr Carter!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25SHE GASPS
0:05:28 > 0:05:29SHE WINCES
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Your blood pressure is 140/90.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41What does that mean?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's rather high for somebody of your age and weight.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh! Great(!)
0:05:46 > 0:05:49What about your lifestyle? Do you smoke?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Drink much booze? - Never touch the stuff.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54What about exercise?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Could this be to do with stress?
0:05:58 > 0:06:03There's a condition called stress-related hypertension.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I saw it on a documentary.- Could be.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08But there could be any number of factors causing it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10But you're not ruling out stress?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- Are you suffering from stress? - Suffering?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14I'm overwhelmed.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Why's that?- Two words.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19My mother.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, what's the problem?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25She doesn't iron my clothes any more,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27she doesn't cook my meals.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Lucky if I get a decent sandwich nowadays.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Poor you(!)
0:06:34 > 0:06:35And she refuses to leave the house.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40She makes me do all the shopping now!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I mean, sometimes, I...
0:06:43 > 0:06:47feel as if I should just go off and live in a hotel.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Maybe she's just taking a break from looking after you all the time.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53I'm not exactly high maintenance.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55No, but you've got free board and lodging
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- and you're complaining about the staff.- It's not like that, OK?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02She is freaking me out!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I'm telling you, she is not right in the head.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Now, Mum is a patient of yours,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14so, why don't you pay her a visit and check her out?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Sorry, it doesn't work like that.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Anyway, it sounds like you're more worried about yourself
0:07:18 > 0:07:20because your mum's not taking care of you any more.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Excuse me, that is an outrageous thing to say!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26If you can persuade your mum to make an appointment with me,
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'll be happy to have a chat with her.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I'm going to book you an appointment to see Dr Carter for further tests.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It may be that he needs to give you some medication
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- to get your blood pressure down. - Mm. Well,
0:07:37 > 0:07:42thank you very much. You are a very caring nurse(!)
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Worth every penny to the NHS(!)
0:07:53 > 0:07:55SHE SIGHS
0:07:55 > 0:07:57That's right, lunch at your place.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00A lovely lunch for a lovely lady.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Well, this is all very sudden.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You were the one that wanted to celebrate.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Yes, but...- And you're away this weekend, so why wait?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I am not sure.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I was hoping to do some coursework preparation over the break.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Can't that wait?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Come on, let's live life in the fast lane. What do you say?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26All right, all right, I, er...I will see you later.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Brilliant. Bye for now.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33THUNDERCLAP
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Mum?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48What's happened?
0:08:53 > 0:08:57It was your fault, leaving that stupid thing lying around!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- What are you doing?! - I'm calling an ambulance.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02No! No ambulance!
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Mum, you're still bleeding.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07I've just had a slight shock, that's all.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09No need to be so melodramatic.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I'll be all right in a moment.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15No need to make a fuss.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18You might need stitches.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Stop hectoring me!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Darling, if you really want to help,
0:09:26 > 0:09:29why don't you make me a nice cup of tea?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32There's a good boy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- AL EXHALES - You OK?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Yeah. Can you, um...? Thanks.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46You still getting those headaches?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Yeah. I had an absolute corker last night.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It was like being on the receiving end of something from the Death Star.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Rough.- Yeah, well, it passed.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's not the most exhilarating subject, is it? Man gets headache!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00No need to alert the news media.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well, as long as you're on top of them.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'm capable of diagnosing myself.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Actually, I've, er...I've booked myself a scan. Thank you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Because of your dad?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12My dad?
0:10:14 > 0:10:15You're on fire today, aren't you?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19The...the lid.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25And the thing is, I don't know how much blood she's lost.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And I'm worried the cut might become infected.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31How is she now?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33She was acting as if nothing had happened.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35It's bizarre. I...
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I mean, quite frankly she's scaring me.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I meant "is she still bleeding?"
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I don't know.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Ray, is she still conscious? Have you called an ambulance?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yes...and no.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- Why not?- She won't let me.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Call one, anyway!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53She doesn't want any kind of help,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55but she needs it, I know she does.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You have got to come round.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00If she's bleeding out, she needs an ambulance.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Please. - HE SIGHS
0:11:02 > 0:11:06If she's going to trust anyone, it will be you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'll see if I've got time.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12In the meantime, elevate the hand, apply pressure.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15If she doesn't stop bleeding, call 999.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I will. Thank you.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Please, come as quickly as you can.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32A peace offering. It's, er...three weeks out of date,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34but I don't think chocolate goes off.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Did you buy that for me? - Not in the first place.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39JIMMI SIGHS
0:11:39 > 0:11:40What are you doing?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm looking at some CBT websites.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46You're taking this all very seriously, aren't you?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Has St Megan got herself another disciple?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51I don't know about a saint,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54but it looks like she's one hell of a therapist.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Mm, if you say so.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58She's offered to give me some professional support.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Is that all she's offering?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Why can't you just accept the fact
0:12:01 > 0:12:04that I'm genuinely interested in talking therapy?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm not questioning your motives,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09but "why" is the interesting question here, isn't it?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Because it's more holistic.- Mm.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's more mind and body and that kind of thing.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Megan's body?- Oh, shut up. - Megan's hot body.- Shut up!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Shall we discuss her body more over lunch?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20No, I'm not having lunch with you. All right, you're buying.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- I bought the egg! - You can take the egg!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It don't want it. It looks very silly in my office.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Will she be all right?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35"She" happens to be in the room, you know.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It wasn't a deep cut. You could have sorted it yourself.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41You see? There was no need to get Nurse Lee to come out all this way.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I was concerned about my mother.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Well, seeing as though I'm here, I might as well check you over.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51I'm telling you, it's quite unnecessary.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Please, Mum.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I just want to know you're OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Very well.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Can you make yourself useful and fetch us both a nice cup of tea?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15So, how was your day?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Yeah, great. Did two loads and sorted through my bills.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Lunch will be served shortly, madam.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22What is this?
0:13:24 > 0:13:28I thought we were going to have a special celebratory lunch?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Yes, and that's exactly what it is.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Well, this is all well and good, but...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and I do not mean to sound ungrateful, but tinned food?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Just trying to be practical.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47I had this at the back of the cupboard and thought we could use it up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Waste not, want not.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52I have never known you to be self-conscious about cost-cutting.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55These are not easy times.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Austerity hasn't gone away.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Austerity?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02This is not like you.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04JJ, what is going on?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Layla needed another dig-out at uni.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09No. No, that was last week!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I repeat, what is going on?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18JJ?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It's the hospital. They've let me go.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I've lost my job.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35You've gone very quiet.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So what's the verdict?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Am I in fine fettle, or not?
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Cat got your tongue?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Your tea's getting cold.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Joyce, are you having trouble with your eyes?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The thing is...I think I'm losing my sight.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15Is it that bad?
0:15:15 > 0:15:19No, I've, er...I've just lost my appetite.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's not my best, I'll give you that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Is this because of the hospital food campaign?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Leave it, Winifred.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33But he cannot be allowed to get away with this!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It is wrong! It is probably illegal!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- What are you doing? - Calling the hospital, of course.
0:15:39 > 0:15:40No, don't bother.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Let's see what Mr Habib has got to say for himself!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- No!- JJ!
0:15:45 > 0:15:47The job's gone, OK? It's finished. It's...
0:15:47 > 0:15:50it's gone, it's never coming back.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52You need to stick up for your rights!
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Thank you, Martha Scargill, but I don't want to.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Don't you get it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01This could turn out to be a real blessing in disguise.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07For the last two months...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13..the world's been getting darker and darker.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17It's like I'm seeing everything through
0:16:17 > 0:16:19a gradually-diminishing tunnel.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22How much can you actually see?
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Nothing much.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Mainly...vague shapes.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Shadows, really.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I don't understand. Why haven't you told Ray?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38He mustn't know! He can't know!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Why?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Because when I do go totally blind...
0:16:44 > 0:16:46..it'll be too much of a burden for him.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49He'll leave me.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51We don't even know what's causing it yet.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You can't know how Ray will react.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's a terrible thing to say,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57but I know my own son.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00He mustn't find out.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Joyce, you can use whatever tricks you like,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05but sooner or later, he's going to realise.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08And what if you're hurt worse next time?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10What's the alternative?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Be honest.- No.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15And you mustn't say anything!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- You can't, can you, if I don't want you to?- No, but I really...
0:17:19 > 0:17:23In that case, there's nothing more to be said.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Joyce, listen to me.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29The more people who know about your condition, the more support you'll get.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30How do you work that out?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You're scared, I get it. Who wouldn't be?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37But let's get you examined properly and we'll take it from there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40But I think it's really important that you include Ray.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I really don't think he'll be up to it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And what if you're wrong?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Don't you think you at least owe it to your son to give him a chance?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Mm! Soup really is yummy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03How long has it been since he, er...passed now?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07That's a change of gear.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Why? Why are you asking about my dad again?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm just wondering how you're feeling about him now.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, it was a shock at the time,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18but life goes on. You deal with it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Is that what you're doing?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Yeah. He...he pops into my head every now and then,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29but I'm not one of these people who feel
0:18:29 > 0:18:32they need to go into an mandatory period of grieving,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34drag everyone else down with my misery.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36That's a bit harsh.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Everyone has their own grieving process, don't they?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And if I'm not bursting into tears every day,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46it's because we weren't that close, as you well know.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49What's the correct way to eat soup?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Is it that way, or is it that way? What does etiquette decree?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I don't think it matters in here.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58So, how's your mum doing?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02She's all right. She keeps busy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05She's got her friends, her hobbies. She's got the vicar.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Hm. Do you talk much?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Do you mind if we talk about something else?
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I don't believe it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18I just can't believe it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I'm afraid it's true.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23I'm losing my sight.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I'm not talking about that.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30All this time, all the cleaning and stuff.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33You made me think you were going around the twist.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35She was trying not to let on.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm sorry about that.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Why?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Why all the pretence?
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Why couldn't you let me know?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- That's not important now. - I beg to differ. Well...?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I wasn't sure you'd want to stay, and...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, I see.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54You thought that I'd abandon you.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Is that how much faith you place in me?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It's not that.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04In many ways, this is my fault,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06the way you've turned out.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I've always wrapped you up in cotton wool,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12made you totally dependent.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15I get it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Since I can't look after myself,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21how could I possibly take care of a blind woman?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It's not an unreasonable question.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Except you're forgetting something.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28You're my mother.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31And I love you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37So no matter what happens... I'll always be there for you.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Once you've been assessed and we've figured out exactly what's going on,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45you'll both be able to get support and advice.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We'll tackle this together, OK?
0:20:49 > 0:20:50I don't know what to say.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53And the support starts right here.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I'm going to make your favourite meal.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Roast chicken with all the trimmings.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That's great.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00How hard can it be?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Maybe little steps first.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07How about, um...cheese on toast?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09One cheese on toast coming up.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Ray!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The whole phenomenon of manga just grows and grows.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27There's a convention in Birmingham next month.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- I thought I might rock up. - On your own?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, yeah, it's not exactly date material.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You wouldn't think of taking a friend?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- You?- It's not really my kind of thing, is it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- No, I didn't think it was.- I just thought you'd have loads of people
0:21:39 > 0:21:42that would be into that kind of thing you could ask.
0:21:42 > 0:21:43Hm. Yeah, one or two.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Ah. Good.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Jimmi, what's going on?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53What do you mean?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Are you using me as some kind of a case study?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Of course not!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I think that's exactly what you're doing.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Oh, come on, Al!- All day, you've been interrogating me.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10About my headaches, about my father, my mother, my friends.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14So, come on, what's your agenda?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16There's no agenda.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No official agenda, anyway.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I don't believe this!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- It's nothing a takeaway pizza won't fix.- Yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- It's not going to be easy at first, but...- Stop!
0:22:34 > 0:22:35What?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It's not going to work.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- I'm not doing it.- Ray?
0:22:43 > 0:22:44It's so unfair.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I can't do this.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I shouldn't have to do this!
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- And I don't want to. - Ray, it WILL be OK.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00When you've got time, come and see me. I can put you in touch with...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02No, no, no, no.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's not going to be OK.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09How can it be?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15I've never been short of work in my life.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18But these are leaner times.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21You were the one talking about austerity.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I can do some roadying, some bar work,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25maybe even a spot of labouring.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Labouring?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29You said you had back pain!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31The point is, there's plenty of opportunities out there.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34And much better ones than that lousy hospital job.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Do you really think so?- I know so.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Look, I was a janitor once in a local Crown Court.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43They liked me so much, they wanted to make me a judge.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Look, the thing is,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50there's plenty of jobs out there for people like me.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You think of my strengths.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Gift of the gab, a whizz in the kitchen,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56great with my hands.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You're overreacting. Stop and think this through.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07There's nothing to think about.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Where are you going to go? How are you going to take care of yourself?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12There's hotels. I'll be all right.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14You'll be all right? What about your mum?!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17You said it yourself, she'll get support.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18The NHS will sort her out.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23She's spent years looking after you and now she needs you. You!
0:24:23 > 0:24:26That cheese on toast is taking rather a long time.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I do hope everything's all right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30You can't leave over burnt cheese on toast!
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Ray?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I'll be there in a sec, Joyce.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Hi, Karen, it's me. I'm going to have to stay here a bit longer.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05This selfish git's just abandoned his mum and she's losing her eyesight.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Seriously, you know those days when you just want to punch someone in the face?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15Anyway, I'd better go, I need to call social services and get someone over.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Wish me luck.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26He's gone, hasn't he?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I'm sorry, OK? I handled that badly.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Badly? Valerie would've been more subtle!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48What are you doing, Jimmi? You're supposed to be my friend
0:25:48 > 0:25:51and yet you want to use me as some kind of a test case.
0:25:52 > 0:25:57Why? I'm serious. Why? You want to impress Dr Sharma that much?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- It's got nothing to do with her! - Then what are you doing?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02By all means, if you have to, ask me about my father,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06but this clumsy attempt at psychoanalysis is pathetic.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- It's just embarrassing!- OK, OK.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14No, it's not OK, Jimmi.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15You need to go on another one of your courses.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You know, Sensitivity In The Workplace,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19or Friendship For Beginners.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Because this, whatever this is, it's not working.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28THUNDER RUMBLES
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I am the practice manager.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Well, perhaps you'd like to explain to my mother
0:26:42 > 0:26:44why the NHS doesn't provide the only treatment
0:26:44 > 0:26:46that can stop her lungs from disintegrating!
0:26:46 > 0:26:50We really don't want any publicity to escalate the situation.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Oi! Put that chair down!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Americans are so much more relaxed about this sort of thing.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00They ship worldwide, in tanks of liquid nitrogen.
