Ask for Anna Sawsworth. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
I don't think you're going to be with us very long. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
You're far too handsome. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
So apart from the usual - | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
eyes, nose, orifices, worming, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
fleas, lumps and bumps, etc - | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
what else is there to think about? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
Parvovirus infection, black coated, colitis... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:57 | |
Lymphocytic-plasmacytic. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
Perianal fistula... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Acral lick dermatitis... | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
-Anal furunculosis... -Anna? -Yes. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
I'm Remy. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
A dog? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Yeah, from the rescue centre. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
I mean, I've always wanted one. It's just Mum never had the space. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
But now I've bought a house, haven't I? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
-And what about the walks? -I like walking. -Really? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-Yeah, just not on my own. -Get yourself a girlfriend, then. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Because there's no way the rescue centre's going to give you a dog. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Why not? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
Because you're a single man who works all the time. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
Trust me - girlfriend first, then dog. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Dr Heston Carter, Mill Health Centre. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Between 11.12pm and 12.12pm. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Can it be another time? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
It's meant to be a secret. I don't want my wife to know about it. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
That's a bit late. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
OK, let's leave it as it is. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
A case of 12 by 12.12. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Bye. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
The answerphone says you're on another call. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
I'll keep trying. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
Are you trying to sell me something? | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Yes or no? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
In that case, whatever you're selling, I don't want it. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
Please don't call this number again. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
My son will report you. Good day. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
And don't forget to take your pills. Oh. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
Good day. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
Ben wants to see me later. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
He probably wants to talk about the whole will again. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
It's funny, isn't it? | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
That Jimmi's the counsellor, and | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
yet I'm the one that everyone wants to talk to about their problems. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
I'll probably helping Jimmi more than he helps me... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Cos after we get through all the heavy stuff, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
there's still online dating, lovability and man-shopping... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
-PHONE RINGS -Hello? -Plus scabies. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
Do you think they've gone? | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-You hope so, don't you? -Hello? -But maybe they just die inside you. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:55 | |
Like your dreams. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
Thanks for that. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-Is there anybody there? -Hello. Sorry. Hi. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
What is your name and what is your organisation's name? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
Mum, it's me. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
-Are you trying to sell me something? -Mother, it's Alistair. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:18 | |
-Yes or no? -No. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
In that case, why are you calling? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
I'm calling you because I am your son and heir. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
Well, why didn't you say so? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
So, how are you feeling today? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-Now? -Irritated. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
I was fine before. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Apart from my pottery class being cancelled. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
I was thinking about that story you were telling me yesterday. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-The one about Uncle Terry, wasn't it? -Are you testing me? | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
No. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:53 | |
You're no better than all the other timewasters that keep | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
ringing me up. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
Have people been calling you? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
Mother? | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
Mum, are you there? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |
Irritating, isn't it? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
When you know someone's there and they don't say anything? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Point taken. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Did you say your pottery class had been cancelled? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
You are testing me. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
In that case, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
on shelf B, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |
between Four Weddings And A Funeral and Gone With The Wind, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
you're going to find a film called Ghost from 1990. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
There's a particularly interesting pottery scene in that one. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Oh. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
I'll go and watch it now. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
-All right, enjoy. Bye. -Bye. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
-Aren't you ever tempted to take them in yourself? -There are so many. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
But if you met one you had a special connection with? | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-That wouldn't be professional. -No. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Why would anyone not want him? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
Relationship break up. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
Well, I'd take him. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:57 | |
Maybe you could! | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
No, I'm not in a position. Other people to consider. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-Girlfriend? -Gosh, no! | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-Mother. -You live at home? -Yeah. -Me too. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-I can't wait to move out. -Me neither. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Get some independence. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
So, if you were to do an initial examination... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
Alphabetically... | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
Atopy, blastomycosis, contact hypersensitivity, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
cryptococcosis, deep pyoderma, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
eosinophilic dermatitis, follicular dysplasia... | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-Cyclic. -Folliculitis... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-Pyotraumatic. -Food allergy... -Hypersensitivity... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
And our old friend idiopathic cutaneous | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
-and renal glomerular vasculopathy. -CRGV? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
-Well, it's worth checking, isn't it? -Of course. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
I'm sure he won't be on his own for too long. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
-Not if the right person turns up. -No. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
-Shall we get some lunch? -Yes, please. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
I'm ever so sorry for interrupting. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
Who says you were? | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
-The napkin. -Oh, I see. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
What's your name? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
My name is George Popwell and I work for Spring Green Windows. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
I suppose you're trying to sell me something? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Honestly, yes and no. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
The government are running a scheme offering grants to fit carbon | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
neutral windows, but the scheme's barely been publicised, | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
so we've decided to go door to door and tell people. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-That's a funny way of doing business. -It is. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
But in this case, we couldn't think of a better one. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
So even if you're not interested yourself, if you could tell | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
anyone you know about the scheme - friends, neighbours, family... | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
Anyone who might have an interest in increasing | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
the value of their property. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
Thank you for your time. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:44 | |
So how does this scheme work? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-So is this your first job? -Yes. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
So which vet school are you going to go to? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-Letherbridge. -Me too. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
I'm in my second year. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-I've always wanted to be a vet. -Me too. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
-Did you have any dogs growing up? -No. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
But I had loads of other pets. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
Yeah? Which was your favourite? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
My favourite? A chinchilla. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Just the one? -No, of course not. Two. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-Because they're unhappy on their own, aren't they? -Yeah. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
PHONE RINGS Excuse me. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Calls get diverted to my mobile. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
Letherbridge Animal Rescue Centre, Anna speaking. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
Oh, hello, I wonder whether you can help me. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
I'm looking at your website | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
at a lovely looking dog by the name of Brutus. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Sorry, potential owner. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
A bit of a scary sounding name. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
I know. I think it's ironic. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
Right. So he does have a lovely temperament, yeah? | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
-Yes, he's as lovely as he looks. -Great. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
Would it be possible for me to come and meet him? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-Do you mind if I ask you a few questions first? -No. Not at all. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
OK. Are you already a dog owner? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
No, but I've always wanted to be, we just never had the space growing up. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-But now? -Yeah. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
I've just bought my own house. With a garden, actually! | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
He's just bought a house. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-And can I ask what you do? -Yeah, I'm a doctor. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
He's a doctor. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
-You must be busy, then? -Yeah. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:01 | |
But my mum and dad have said they'll help me look after it. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
You live with your mother and father? | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
No, I live on my own. No partner, no kids. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-So you're a busy doctor and you're single? -Yeah. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Right. Can you come in so we can meet? -Great. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-Can I come now? I'm off until four. -Now's fine. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
Great, I'll see you soon. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Thanks, bye. -He sounds nice. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-KNOCKING -Come in. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
How are you? I can only hope that I've helped. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
I beg your pardon? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
With the whole breaking up with Will scenario. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
It does get easier, trust me. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
You've made the right decision. Don't change your mind. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-Be strong. -Right, thank you. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
So the reason I actually called you here is that I'd like you to | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
attend the PPG meeting on Monday. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-What? -I'd like you to represent | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
the practice at the Patient Participation Group. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Yes, I know what the PPG is. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Then you'll go on Monday? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
-You don't have to let me know right now. -Right. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
So you'll let me know later? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yes. -Great. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Yes, it's Dr Carter, Mill Health Centre, again. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
It is...2.08 pm. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Well, who changed it to 5.06 to 6? I need it by 4! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
That's funny. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-You escaping from Valerie? -No. I'm meeting her out here. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Out here? For why? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Walking therapy. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
Buy some boots... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |
Come on, then. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
She has got a list. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
Someone's coming to meet you. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:50 | |
-A doctor. -Doctors hate pets, though. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-Do they? -"Filthy things. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:53 | |
"Don't put your face near it, Remy, you'll catch something. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
"Do you want a rabies shot?" | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-Anna? -Yes. | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
Sid Vere. We spoke on the phone. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
And this must be Brutus. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
-It is. Say hello. -Hello! | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-So you're single, you say? -Yeah. Still haven't found the right girl. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
And what if you find her and she doesn't like dogs? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Then she won't be the right girl, then, will she? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
I will have to do a home visit. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
Yeah. Of course. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:18 | |
-And have you got any experience with animals? -No, no. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
-Ever had a dog before? -No. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
Well, I have. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
-But you said...? -A sheepdog called Old Shep. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
He saved my life. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
I was drowning, but he pulled me out. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
And when he got ill, I nursed him, but it was no good. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
He died. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Hence my lifelong desire to be a vet. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
Didn't you do work experience with us at the Mill? | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
Why would you do work experience at a health centre | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
if you always wanted to be a vet? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:50 | |
And your mum's a doctor, isn't she? A clinical lead at St Phil's? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Is she the doctor who doesn't like animals? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Yet she let you have Old Shep? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
Did you have any pets at all? | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
-No. -No chinchillas? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
No. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
Why don't you stay and supervise Sid and Brutus | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
while I go do my round? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
Walkies! Come on, then. Walkies! | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
And you're sure you don't mind me not being interested in windows? | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
Course not. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:25 | |
There's always time to stop for a cup of tea on a miserable day. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
It is lunchtime, after all. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
Oh, yes, it is. I must get you something to eat. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-No, really. -No, I must. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
Really, I'm fine. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
Mrs Haskey... | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
You certainly go for it, when you see a girl you like, don't you? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-Old Shep? -What about him? | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
It's from an old Elvis song, isn't it? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
Mother's an unlikely fan. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Yeah, you were exactly the same when you were at the Mill. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
I heard you asked Megan out. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
The psychiatrist? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
You actually did me a favour, to be honest. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
A favour how? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:04 | |
Nothing like a bit of competition to get you going. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
You and Megan? | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
Not any more. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
What happened? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
Just one of them things. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:14 | |
But you did light a fire under me, so... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-He's great, isn't he? -Yeah, he is. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
And Anna seems nice and all. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
I had loads of things to talk about, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
but now all I can think about is Ashley. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
So let's talk about Ashley, then. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
Why are you so worried about seeing him? | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
Cos he deserted me. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:37 | |
When you had cancer? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
Yeah. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:40 | |
Although, technically we had already broken up. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
When we got into a big argument at a PPG meeting. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-And now Ben wants you to go to another one? -Yeah. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
-You don't want to go? -No. -Why not? | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Why do you think? Would you want to see Cherry? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
-No. But then, she means nothing to me now, so... -What? | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-And you think Ashley does to me? -I don't know. Does he? | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
No. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
So why can't you go to a meeting with him? | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
Could you go to a meeting with Cherry? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
Yeah, I think so. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
Even though she cheated on you with Daniel? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-Did Ashley cheat on you? -No. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
So why are you so worried about seeing him? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Ooh, look, swings. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
How are they getting on? | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
They seem to be doing fine. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
So what do you know about Sid? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
I met him briefly eight months ago. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
He was going out with the practice psychiatrist, Megan. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Was he? You didn't just make that up as well? -No. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-I was in medical school for two years. -Why didn't you say? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
-I didn't want to ruin things. -Well, you have. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
So he's not with the psychiatrist any more? | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
-Apparently not. -Did he say why? | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
"Just one of those things." | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Yeah, I like him. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
-You hardly know him. -I'd like to get to. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
So what do we do now? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
-You two will need to spend more time together. -Great. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
-And he'll have to meet your mother and father. -No problem. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
I guess you'll have to too? Meet the parents. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
Like taking a new girlfriend home. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
-Except a dog's a lifetime commitment. -Yeah. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
My mum and dad won't be around till later. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
So, do you mind if I bring a friend to see him first? | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
-Someone who'll be walking him as well? -Yeah, maybe. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-Well, hopefully. -OK. -Right. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
I'll be back in about 20 minutes. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
Cheese and onion. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-Delicious. -My son's favourite. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
He's a doctor, you know. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:38 | |
Is that right? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:39 | |
-Terribly busy, of course. -Course. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
But not too busy to support me since my husband died. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Doctors, yeah, they do all right. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Not financially, of course. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
There's no need for that. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
All right for some. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:53 | |
But I do get a bit lonely sometimes. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
I wish I could say the same, | 0:14:57 | 0:14:58 | |
but with a wife and three kids at home... | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Less so lately, because Alistair, that's my son, | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
he does phone me nearly every day. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
He's a doctor. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
Did I say? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:10 | |
You might have mentioned it. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Oh, I'm sorry. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:13 | |
My memory's not what it was. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
But you make a mean cheese and onion sandwich. Delicious. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
Thank you. Now, I really should be going. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
It's been lovely to meet you. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
Have you seen Ghost? | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
-I really should be... -It's that film, with Demi Moore. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
And that Swayze chap, Patrick Swayze. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
He's in Dirty Dancing. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
Cheerio, then. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
So, are you not going to have a look at my windows? | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
So what do you think? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
It's a dog. A very nice dog. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
But like I said... Having said that. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
The way she's looking over at you. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
Leave it. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
She's just deciding whether I'm suitable. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Yeah, but like I said. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-So, is that the psychiatrist? -No. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
He clearly has commitment issues. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:02 | |
I just don't think he's suitable. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
Hard to say. He could be. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Unless someone better comes along. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
I was wearing a headscarf. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
He asked why. I said, "Cos I've got cancer." | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
Then he asked me if I was going to die | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
because he said he didn't think he could cope with me dying. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
I said, "Funny that, I don't think | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
"I'm coping very well myself, at the moment." | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
But he was already out the door. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
Running for the hills. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:29 | |
That was the last time I ever saw him. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
I can't even walk past his house now. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
As far as he's concerned, I could be dead. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
Mind you, he's married now, so that probably doesn't worry him. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
He's married? Does that bother you? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
-What, do I wish it was me? -Yes. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:49 | |
No. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
Me married to Ashley. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Me married to anyone. I just don't see it. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Why not? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
It's a pipe dream, isn't it? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
It's just a fantasy. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
Is it? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
I didn't used to think so. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
What did you used to think? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
I used to think I would be swept off my feet by some sheep | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
farmer in New Zealand, or a flying doctor... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
..or the chairman of the PPG. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
And if he'd proposed? | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
I'd have bitten his hand off. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:23 | |
But now... | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
I know this sounds overdramatic, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
but I don't think I'll ever fall in love again. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
I think that part of me died with the cancer. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
And what if it was different? What if Ashley wanted to marry you | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
-when he found out you were ill? -Like Barry did? -Yeah. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
I'd have bitten his hand off. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
How does that make you feel? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
All done. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
You poor man, you must be starving. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Let me get you some lunch? | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
You gave me some. Cheese and onion. Delicious. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
Yes, of course. Sorry. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
So how are my windows? | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
They need a bit of TLC. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
-Really? -They're not in a good way. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
You need to improve the thermal gain. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
I had my son, Alistair, check them out. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
He would have noticed that. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Course he would. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:21 | |
That's why he called us. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:28 | |
Asked us to come over. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:29 | |
-Alistair did? -Yeah. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
I told you when I first came in, remember? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
About Alistair being too busy with his patients to come over | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
himself, so he asked me to come. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-You told me? -Yeah. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
But silver lining-wise, the good news is... | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
..all I need is £1,000 up front. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Have you actually considered the responsibilities of owning a pet? | 0:18:48 | 0:18:52 | |
As opposed to my mum having an Elvis record? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Have you factored in the cost? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
Yeah. | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
-Vet's fees? Insurance? -Yes. Yes. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
And food. And boarding. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
Go away a lot, do you? | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
Not really. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
And what if you do meet someone | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
-and want to whisk her away to Paris, Milan, Capri...? -What? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
-So would you be walking Brutus as well? -Me? No. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
We're not together. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
I can put a word in if you're interested. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-I'm not. -And what about diseases? | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
What diseases? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
Sebaceous adenitis, seborrhoea, skin tumours... | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
I am a doctor. You can't baffle me with science. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Squamous cell carcinoma of the nail bed, waterline disease, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
zinc-responsive dermatosis, and our old friend CRGV. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
What is CRGV? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
Idiopathic cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy... | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Commonly known as Alabama Rot, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
a flesh-eating bug which leads to skin lesions and kidney disease. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
Is that what you want? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Is that what your mother and father want? | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
Because I know my mother wouldn't. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
But I don't care. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
Whatever's wrong with him, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
whatever my mother says, | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
And with Anna too. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
HE CLICKS TONGUE | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
What are you doing? I said 12 bottles. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
Not 12 boxes. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
So there I am, I'm all dressed in black. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
I'm immaculate. Im-black-ulate. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
And I walk in, fabulous. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:26 | |
He sees me, and I lift the veil. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-There's a veil too? -Oh, yeah. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
In the film, I'm played by Zara. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
A femme fatale. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
A femme fatale who doesn't die. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:35 | |
So he can see what he's missing. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:36 | |
What he could have had. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
-So you're going to go to the meeting, then? -Oh, I don't know. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Maybe just talking about it's enough? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Well, you're not getting closure, then. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
See, I don't really like that word. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Ever since C&A shut down. | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
No, I'll probably just give Ben my apologies. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
I'm sure Ashley won't cross my mind again. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
But, thank you, though. You've really cheered me up. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
Likewise. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:01 | |
Don't worry, you will meet someone. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
I'd really rather talk to Alistair about it first. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
Good idea. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:18 | |
Although he can get very busy. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
True. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
And it was his idea in the first place. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
Yes. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
But still, I'd really like to call him first. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
No problem, then. We'll call him. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
One case of 12 by 12.12, could I have been any clearer? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
It was for the best. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
Yeah, you're probably right. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
Been somewhere nice? | 0:21:53 | 0:21:54 | |
The animal rescue centre. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
Sid was thinking about getting a dog. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Well, pets can be such great companions. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Geoffrey certainly has been since Ashley left. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
Walked out on me two years ago last November. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Just up and left, without a word, moved in with his aunt. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
If it was his aunt. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:12 | |
I could have died. Would he have cared? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
Would he have even turned up to the funeral? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
And if he had turned up to the funeral, would he have brought her? | 0:22:16 | 0:22:18 | |
His wife? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
So what happened? Did you see one you liked? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
Yeah, I did. But I thought he'd be better off with someone else. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
Oh, well, I hope you're right. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:28 | |
And you don't bump into him one day with whoever he's with now. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:32 | |
I'm sure he'll be fine. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-You did the right thing. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-Right, see you next week. -See you, then. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
Letherbridge Animal Rescue Centre, Anna speaking. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
Hello, I'm interested in one of your dogs. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-Are you already a dog owner? -No. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
And I never have been. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
And I haven't got my own house. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
And...I didn't have a dog called Old Shep. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
# The years fast did roll Old Shep he grew old | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
# His eyes were fast growing dim | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
# And one day the doctor looked at me and said | 0:23:27 | 0:23:33 | |
# "I can do no more for him, Jim." # | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
I thought it was doctors and not vets who looked after dogs. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:44 | |
Your mum's a doctor. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:45 | |
Didn't she tell you? | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
I'd already said I wanted to be a doctor. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
And for Mother, that was it. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
Decided. No discussions. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
But I have always wanted to be a vet. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
And I got there in the end. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Found out what I really wanted. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
If you think I'm suitable. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Engaged. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:12 | |
Maybe we should just call your bank and you can arrange the transfer? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
I can help you if you want. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Thank you, I'm perfectly capable. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
