0:00:27 > 0:00:30CHURCH ORGAN PLAYS BRIDAL MARCH

0:00:30 > 0:00:33Do you, Adam Alexander Smith,

0:00:33 > 0:00:36take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?

0:00:36 > 0:00:37I do.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41And do you promise to love her...? MOBILE RINGS

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Oh!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Oh, hi, Gary.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46No, I'm fine.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Well, I'm 16 hours away from the biggest day of my life and

0:00:49 > 0:00:51all I can think about is what could go wrong.

0:00:51 > 0:00:56You know, you could forget the ring, Sue could run off with the milkman!

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Which would be weird cos we don't have a milkman.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03What?!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05What...?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Oh.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15THEY CHUCKLE

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Morning!- Hiya. Zara, this just came for you.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22- Oh.- A patient.- Satisfied customer. Makes a change.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Good morning, everyone.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27I hope you are ready to face the rigours of the day.

0:01:27 > 0:01:32- Oh, I wouldn't say that. - What a beautiful flower.- Yeah.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36They're from a patient whose wife died of cancer.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Oh, I am sorry to hear that. - Mrs Kenny.- No!

0:01:39 > 0:01:44She's been coming here for years. It was not a very happy ending.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- What happened?- Well, she left it too late to come and see me.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50She thought it was just the usual aches and pains

0:01:50 > 0:01:53and by the time she was diagnosed, it was too late.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Poor woman.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59Just goes to show that you should listen to your body.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Being polite can be fatal.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Yes, well, we all have busy lives and sometimes we don't have

0:02:05 > 0:02:07the time to...

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Mrs Tembe, your post.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Zara, coffee?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Not just yet.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, you're up to date with tetanus, but you do need Hep B.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Right.- Where are you off to?

0:02:25 > 0:02:30It's two days in Delhi, then we're off to Sri Lanka.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32It's all right for some.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Yeah, I know. It's going to be wonderful.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Can you keep your arm still?

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Tell you what, why don't you try resting it here for me?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42That's a good idea. That should work!

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Is everything OK?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Not really.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54- What's wrong?- Everything.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- I will email it to you today. - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:02:59 > 0:03:00All right. Goodbye.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Come in.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Mrs Tembe, I was looking for somewhere to put this and I

0:03:08 > 0:03:11- wondered if it could go in your office.- No.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15No, Mr Kenny gave it to you. So perhaps you could take it home.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I thought it could go on your desk.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26As a reminder of what can happen when we ignore our health problems.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I love Sue so much.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34But when it's been such a long road to happiness,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37all you can do is think of the things that might go wrong.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- Why should they? - Just think I'm cursed.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yesterday, I had a phone call.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47The hall we were using has flooded, so now we have to use an anteroom.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49You could always get married in wellies.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Then today, my best man called.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Except he's not going to be my best man because he's in hospital.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59He fell off his pogo stick.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- His what?- He's a toy demonstrator.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's quite dangerous.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06So you need to ask another friend.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08You have got one, presumably?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Not really.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16See, for the past ten years, I've been a live-in carer for my mum.

0:04:16 > 0:04:17And she's dead now.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22And my social life died too, really. There's only Sue.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26And maybe, you know, a few people that I work with.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- I don't even think you need a best man. Just witnesses.- I know.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It's not the same, though, somehow.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38- I suppose.- Still, start a new life tomorrow. I sold Mum's house.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40All I've got to do is stay there tonight,

0:04:40 > 0:04:43hand the keys over to the estate agent, then the wedding,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46- then the honeymoon, and then happy ever after.- Exactly.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49This time next week, you'll be wandering past the Taj Mahal

0:04:49 > 0:04:51and not even knowing what you were so worried about.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59I am sure it is nothing. A little pain in my pelvis.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03And a slight burning sensation when I... When I pass water.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05How long have you had this?

0:05:05 > 0:05:06About two weeks.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Two weeks?!- It is probably something to do with the hernia operation.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13They gave me some exercises to do and I haven't been

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- sufficiently diligent.- Or it could be something else entirely.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, I will try again to make an appointment with my GP.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I am sure he will get to the bottom of it.- And how long is he going to make you wait?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25When's he going to squeeze you in? September?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, what would you suggest?

0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Why don't you give me a urine sample?- What?!- Not this minute.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36I'll go and get a bottle.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Well, that is very kind.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, are you happy to be tested for everything?

0:05:41 > 0:05:45- It could be a bladder infection or...- Anything you suggest.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Thank you again, Dr Carmichael. It will just be a relief to know.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Right, I will see you again in six weeks.- Thanks.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58JC, let's do lunch.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Um...- How dare you "um" me!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Well, Daniel's just asked me. Why don't you come with us?

0:06:03 > 0:06:04Make it a threesome.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07No, I refuse to participate in any "threesome" which involves Granger!

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Come on, it'll be fun.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11He's just got back from a month in the Caribbean.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14He just wants to show off his selfies and his tan lines.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Maybe. You have to promise to behave, though.- No. No, I shan't promise.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24That's right, yeah. We met at Mum's funeral.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Last year.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I just wondered - can you do me a great big favour?

0:06:36 > 0:06:37And the same to you too!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43MOBILE RINGS

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Argh...

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Hi, Sue.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Adam, are you OK?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50'Of course I'm OK. I'm eight and a half hours away'

0:06:50 > 0:06:52from paradise. Why wouldn't I be?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I've been trying to call you for ages.- 'Oh, yeah.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59'I've been on the phone sorting things,'

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- weddingy things. - 'You sound really stressed.'

0:07:02 > 0:07:06Do I? No, you know. It's just weird being back at Mum's house.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Right.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11'You know, it's almost as if she's still here,

0:07:11 > 0:07:13'like I can hear her pottering about,'

0:07:13 > 0:07:17clattering into things. I...think I can smell her cooking bacon.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21- I see.- 'Um, Sue,'

0:07:21 > 0:07:24hold on, yeah? I'm going to phone you later.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26'What?!'

0:07:30 > 0:07:32DISTANT SIZZLING

0:07:35 > 0:07:37MAN HUMMING

0:07:49 > 0:07:51'Mm!'

0:07:54 > 0:07:57SINGING CONTINUES

0:07:57 > 0:07:59# Yuma-di yuma-di yum... #

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Mm!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Oh! Little piggy!

0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Who are you? - I don't know! Who are you?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12That's it! I'm calling the police!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- No, no! No! Please! No police!- Argh!- Aw!

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Oh!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Er...

0:08:25 > 0:08:29- How's your burger?- Poor. I'm giving it four out of ten.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31For some reason, it's been covered in foliage.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35I feel like my lunch has been invaded by Triffids or something!

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Ah, here's the pool.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40And I know people are always going on about infinity pools,

0:08:40 > 0:08:42but in St Lucia, the sky and the sea are

0:08:42 > 0:08:46so blue that it really does look like it stretches on forever.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47- Wow, that's impressive.- Yeah.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Here you are. I've got one. This is a dead fox.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Found at the bottom of my garden.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Now, people talk about rigor mortis, but look at Basil's tail.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58You could use it as a scrubbing brush.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Hilarious.- Well, nature's a cruel place.- Yeah.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I was just trying to share a few photographs of my trip with

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- you both. I wasn't trying to be smug.- Course you weren't, Daniel.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Just ignore him. You know what he's like. Don't rise to the bait.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- You got any more pictures? - Yeah, two or three hundred.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yeah, I got a few more too.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Hello?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Would you like a glass of water?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Am I dead?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Are you the Archangel Gabriel?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34No! Of course not!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- What are you doing in my mum's house?- Oh!

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Oh, my life has been falling apart lately.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I lost my job,

0:09:44 > 0:09:47I lost my home,

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm sleeping in a car over the road.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Ah.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- I think I've walked past you a few times.- Most people do.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56All the time.

0:09:56 > 0:10:01But last night, some yobs smashed my windscreen.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I tried to patch it up but it's so cold.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10Yeah. And I noticed that this house has been empty for quite a while.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah, it was. But it's sold now.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15The new people move in tomorrow.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Ah, well, I'll just clean up my mess and I'll be on my way.- No, no, no.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24It's all right. You can stay for one night.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Can I?

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Oh, that's very kind!

0:10:29 > 0:10:35This year, I've had so many doors slammed in my face. But you...

0:10:35 > 0:10:38You really are an angel.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Well, I don't know about that, but um...

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Actually...

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Could you do me a really big favour?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Isabelle, you could find under a tree any time of day,

0:10:54 > 0:10:55reading a book, but this is Joe,

0:10:55 > 0:10:58he's just about to go snorkelling, as you can see.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00And first of all, he was petrified of the sharks, obviously.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02They were about, but slowly but surely,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05he gained in confidence and it was great.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08- It was a good experience for him. - Yeah.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Yeah. Anything crass you want to add?- Absolutely.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13This is the actress Sophie Aldred.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Best known for playing Ace on TV's Doctor Who.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Now, at first, she was terrified of Daleks,

0:11:18 > 0:11:22because they're around and evil, but then she grew in confidence

0:11:22 > 0:11:25after someone gave her a baseball bat to whack them with.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29How about you? J Dog?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31No, surprisingly, no.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Oh, I am surprised. Not even a selfie with the delightful Megan?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I... Did I...? What?

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Megan?!- Megan's the psychotherapist.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Jimmi's developed a hankering for her.- Oh!

0:11:43 > 0:11:46She's a colleague, that's all. That's the way it's staying.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Stop touching me.- Maybe she's playing mind games on you.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Anyone want a drink? - Er, yes. Please.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57But just cos you're going to the bar, doesn't mean we're going to change the subject.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- To be continued. - You stop touching me as well.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04Well, I mean,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07it's a great honour.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I mean, there must be millions of men on the planet - I can't

0:12:10 > 0:12:12believe I'm among of the best of them.

0:12:12 > 0:12:16Well, it's just a small ceremony, you know, a few friends.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20A string quartet, some Champagne, and cupcakes.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22I could definitely help with that.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25So, tell me all about this Sue.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Sue is just perfect.- Ah.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30She's kind, she's clever,

0:12:30 > 0:12:32she's got the bluest blue eyes I've ever seen.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35In fact, when you're looking into them,

0:12:35 > 0:12:37you don't want to look anywhere else cos all other colours are

0:12:37 > 0:12:40a disappointment in comparison.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Ah, you're a lucky man.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44I never managed to find a wife.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Perhaps if I did, I wouldn't have ended up in this mess.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50MOBILE RINGS

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Hi, Sue! - Adam, what's wrong with you?!

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Everything's perfect.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04'We were on the phone ten minutes ago,'

0:13:04 > 0:13:09- you said you had to go and then hung up.- It was nothing. Just a spider.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- 'What?!' - Yeah, it was as big as a human hand.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Is everything OK?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yeah, it's perfect. - 'You're acting all weird.'

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- You're not having second thoughts, are you?- No! No! Not at all.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28- 'Right, um...'- Oh, Adam!

0:13:28 > 0:13:31'I love you!'

0:13:31 > 0:13:33'You let me stay'

0:13:33 > 0:13:35in your mother's house, you treat me like a king.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Your blood is worth bottling!

0:13:37 > 0:13:39'Who was that?'

0:13:39 > 0:13:42That? Er, it's just the TV.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43'You unplugged it'

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- and put it in bubble wrap. - 'Yeah, but you know,'

0:13:46 > 0:13:48I couldn't bear the silence.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50'Do you want me to come round?'

0:13:50 > 0:13:53No. No, no, no. We're going to do this the old-fashioned way.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55We're going to spend the night apart

0:13:55 > 0:13:59- 'and then see each other at the wedding.'- The wedding. Yes?

0:13:59 > 0:14:02Sue, I love you so much!

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight.- 'You and me both.'

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Goodbye.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I'm sorry. I didn't know you were on the phone.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Hey, I just remembered.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17I have to make a speech.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21What do you want me to talk about?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23We're not doing speeches. You just stand next to me.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26When I give you the signal, you hand me the ring.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27That's not much of a part.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Will we have a dress rehearsal? - No, no. There's no point.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34It doesn't matter how much you practise.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Things can still go horribly wrong.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41Right, that's me done.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45- Oh, right. Well, I will see you in the morning.- No, you won't.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- It's my day off. You've got Valerie. - Yes. Yes, of course.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Winifred.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- What would say to a night on the town?- What do you have in mind?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57Don't know, really. I thought we might just get lost together.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Well, that is a lovely thought,

0:14:59 > 0:15:02but I think I would prefer a quiet night in.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Are you OK?- Yes.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yes, I'm just a little overworked.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Do you know? This is the most amazing thing I've ever eaten!

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- You've never had a pizza before?- No!

0:15:19 > 0:15:22All my life, people have been giving me leaflets about it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Even when I was sleeping in my car,

0:15:25 > 0:15:27they used to slip them under the windscreen wipers.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Vegetarian.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Vegetarian supreme.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Hawaiian.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Yeah! You must have pizza on your honeymoon. You deserve the best.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43Which is why I intend to be the best best man that ever drew breath.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48Not the second best! Not the best of a bad job. No.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50A prince among best men!

0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm going to go and get an early night.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57I've got a lot of things to do in the morning.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I don't think I can manage stairs.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05- I might just stay here, if that's all right with you.- That's fine.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08There's a blanket in one of those boxes. I'll...

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Margherita.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Piri-piri.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17'Meat feast!'

0:16:26 > 0:16:28'Good night, Adam!'

0:16:34 > 0:16:37# Morning has broken... #

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Mm!

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Crispy!

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Good morning!

0:16:43 > 0:16:45It is indeed!

0:16:45 > 0:16:46I made you some breakfast.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49There was nothing at all in the cupboards,

0:16:49 > 0:16:52but I managed to scrape all that bacon off the floor.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56- It's hairy, but edible. - I don't really do breakfast.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh, you must! Most important meal of the day.

0:16:58 > 0:17:02And today is the most important day of your life.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05But I have been thinking.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10I don't know whether I can be your best man. I mean, I hardly know you.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I'm just some old crock you felt sorry for.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15You can't back out now.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Look how good you look in that suit.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21I do, don't I? All right. Let's do it.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23A few things to sort out first.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26OK, so, I've got the removal men coming round at ten.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Then I've got to drop the keys off at the estate agent. Then...

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- HE SNIFFS - What's that?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34It's all right. It's only a towel.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Argh!

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Oh! Oh!

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Holy Moly!

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- FIRE ALARM - Oh! Oh!

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Sorry, I think you've got the wrong number. OK.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47Have I had any messages?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- What do you mean? - Phone, email, carrier pigeon?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Not that I know of.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Are you expecting something? MOBILE RINGS

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I am, actually, yes. So... Dr Carmichael speaking.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Yes.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, I'm sorry. We're not actually open yet.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04My friend needs medical help.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Your friend will have to wait ten minutes.- I can't do that.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08- I'm getting married.- Oh!

0:18:08 > 0:18:13- Congratulations!- Adam? I thought it was your big day.- It was.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18It is. Um, can you have a look at my friend's hand?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19It's nothing, it's only skin.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23No, no. That's nasty. Come on, come through. I'll take a look at it.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Ah, good morning, Dr Carmichael. - I have your test results.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34We need to talk about them.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38Well, perhaps we can meet up over lunch.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Is there no possibility that we could talk about them now?

0:18:41 > 0:18:44In the corridor? That would be highly inappropriate.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Excuse me.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:18:47 > 0:18:52- Is that all right?- That's all right, as long as I can hold the ring.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54How did you get the burn?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56There was a little fire.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59A bit of bacon and a tea towel.

0:18:59 > 0:19:05- And the bump on your head?- Oh, erm, the usual. I fell into something.

0:19:05 > 0:19:09It had nothing to do with Adam. He's a lovely fella. Lovely.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13- He gets a bit stressed. - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Oh, I am so sorry. Nurse Lee, I need a copy of your appraisal.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21Right. Mrs T? Can I have a word?

0:19:21 > 0:19:22Yes. Of course.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I'll be back.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32I think he's been physically assaulted.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35He's clammed up and I don't know whether I should get the

0:19:35 > 0:19:36police involved.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Not if you don't think he will talk to them.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42Look, try again and let me know.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44OK, thanks, Mrs T.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Excuse me!- Ah, yeah.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Hm.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Can I get you anything?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57So, do you know the name of his usual GP?

0:19:57 > 0:19:58No.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Can you tell me his surname? - Afraid not.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Oh. Don't know much about him, do you?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Morning, all.- Morning, Heston.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Looks like someone's going to a wedding.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Hopefully.- Oh, that looks nice. Is it someone's birthday?

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- No, I'm going to a dinner party this evening.- Mrs Tembe.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Is now a good time?- Yes, yes. Come into my office.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Oh, Mrs Tembe. Everything all right for this evening?

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Good morning, Dr Carter.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24JJ is organising it and he's often full of surprises.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27So it'll be interesting to see what he gives us.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Chlamydia?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's right.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34But...

0:20:34 > 0:20:36But how?

0:20:36 > 0:20:39There's really only one way that you can get it.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44I must say, I'm surprised that you haven't been using protection.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47Yes, we did. And then...

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Look, there are worse things that you could have.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57And this will clear up completely with a course of antibiotics.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- In the meantime, there are three things you need to do.- Mm.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05Number one, go to an STI clinic.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Number two, stock up on condoms.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11And number three,

0:21:11 > 0:21:14notify all your sexual partners of the last few years.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16There has only been one.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Yeah, so that's one o'clock today with Dr Carter.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Adam!- Sue! Oh, Sue! What are you doing here?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31I'm not supposed to see you till the wedding.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Yes, just bring the sample with you. - Unless you look

0:21:33 > 0:21:36me in the eye right now, there's not going to be a wedding!

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Well, if you need to, just bring a bigger bottle.- Last night, you said you were on your own!

0:21:40 > 0:21:43But I heard someone declare their undying love for you.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46So I got Mrs Spode over the road to have a look.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50What?!

0:21:50 > 0:21:55She saw you getting all touchy-feely with another man!

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- And then she followed you here!- Bye.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58Sue...

0:21:58 > 0:22:00How could you?

0:22:00 > 0:22:02- What was I meant to think? Do you blame me?- No, not really.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Cos I thought the same thing, actually.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Who was it? - Empty your pockets!- Why should I?

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Because if you don't, I'm going to call the police.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13Sandy, what have you done?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Hello!

0:22:24 > 0:22:25You must be Sue!

0:22:25 > 0:22:28How nice to meet you.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38I cannot bear the thought of sitting in some clinic waiting room,

0:22:38 > 0:22:41everybody looking at me.

0:22:41 > 0:22:46All of them would I know that I had unprotected...

0:22:46 > 0:22:51People also go there for smear tests and contraception.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55What if somebody recognises me from the Mill?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I am supposed to be a medical professional.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03What if they think I am...?

0:23:04 > 0:23:07A human being?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Look, it's really important that you go.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13As well as giving you the medication, they'll give you

0:23:13 > 0:23:19advice and you'll see there are lots of middle-aged women there.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21It's nothing to be ashamed of.

0:23:23 > 0:23:29Would it be possible for you to prescribe the antibiotics?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31It would just make things easier.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39So, you met a homeless man who broke into your mother's house,

0:23:39 > 0:23:42set fire to the kitchen,

0:23:42 > 0:23:45and you asked him to be the best man at our wedding?

0:23:45 > 0:23:50It was only a small fire and I put it out manually.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53You stole alcohol out of my room.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54I suppose I did. I'm sorry.

0:23:55 > 0:24:00My life has not been good and sometimes,

0:24:00 > 0:24:03a tiny little sip of something, it helps me numb the pain.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Have you thought about getting treatment?- Oh, yeah. Definitely.

0:24:06 > 0:24:12I've really got to sort myself out, but it's hard,

0:24:12 > 0:24:15you know, to get back on the ladder of life.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20But this man here, he made me believe that it is possible.

0:24:20 > 0:24:26He saw a person, not just a bunch of clothes or a ruddy nuisance.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29He made me feel that my life might

0:24:29 > 0:24:32actually have a point to it.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Well, you have excellent taste in men.

0:24:36 > 0:24:40Only you could get yourself into a mess like this.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41Only you care enough.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43And I'm sure our future life

0:24:43 > 0:24:46is going to be full of waifs and strays.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49I can't wait to get started.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53So, I would very much like to go to a wedding.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54VALERIE: Hurrah!

0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's all right, love. Put me down.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12# We're tying the knot

0:25:12 > 0:25:14# Let's get married,

0:25:14 > 0:25:18# Set the seal on the feelings we've got

0:25:18 > 0:25:20# Let's get married,

0:25:20 > 0:25:22# We can make each other happy

0:25:22 > 0:25:25# Or we can make each other blue

0:25:25 > 0:25:26# Let's get married

0:25:26 > 0:25:31# Yes, it's just a piece of paper but it says I love you

0:25:31 > 0:25:33# For the good times,

0:25:33 > 0:25:37# For the days when we can do no wrong

0:25:37 > 0:25:38# For the bad times,

0:25:38 > 0:25:42# For the moments when we think we can't go on... #

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Very disgusting.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56One day I asked my mother "what does this word mean?"

0:25:56 > 0:25:58VD.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04She said "very disgusting".

0:26:04 > 0:26:07There is nothing to be ashamed about.

0:26:07 > 0:26:11But sometimes, it's shame that stops people talking about these

0:26:11 > 0:26:13things and getting protection.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15You need to discuss this with JJ

0:26:15 > 0:26:17and he needs to attend the STI clinic too.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's not just going to go away.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21I know. I know.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Look,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28I'm going to prescribe you the antibiotics.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30And I'm going to find you some condoms.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36And there's something else I'm going to prescribe.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38It isn't usually available on the NHS.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44What is it?

0:26:44 > 0:26:47Just a hug.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Hey, hello.- There she is.- We thought you'd forgotten.- Long day?

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- I thought it was just me working late.- Hey.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10We're just not what everyone expected for Mrs Tembe.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12A bit of a rough diamond, eh?

0:27:12 > 0:27:13Tea? Coffee? Biscuits?

0:27:17 > 0:27:18Stop it.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Mrs Tembe...
