0:00:29 > 0:00:32Yes, the blood tests are in. And it's good news.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Your progesterone is normal.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36So it's not an ovulation issue?

0:00:36 > 0:00:38No. And we know that your fallopian tubes are fine.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Urine test and cervical screening were clear.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43There's no sign of any hormone imbalances.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46So it's not early menopause?

0:00:46 > 0:00:47No.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50But if everything is so normal...

0:00:50 > 0:00:51It could just be a question of time.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52It's been 18 months.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Luke has been so strong,

0:00:57 > 0:01:01but I know this is hurting him, too.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02You're both young, fit.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06But something is wrong, and now there are no more tests to be done.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15I've got five nephews. Three nieces.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Nobody in my family has ever had any trouble having children,

0:01:18 > 0:01:20so why can't I?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Please, don't give up hope.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Can you feel it? The emptiness.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm sorry.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Thanks for trying.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43So you upload a picture of your pet,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45and then you use the app to dress them up.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48What fun!

0:01:48 > 0:01:51See, there's Geoffrey as a firefighter,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53and here he is as a cowboy.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57I think the ten gallon hat really suits him.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Do you think I should get him a lasso?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Sophie. How are you?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Good. Well, good doesn't really cover it.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08That's why I'm here. To say thank you.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Thank you for what?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh... Come through.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21I have a friend who has a bucket list,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24and she is going through it day by day,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26and it got me thinking.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30What would I do to seize the day?

0:02:32 > 0:02:36What relationship means the most to me that I would want to

0:02:36 > 0:02:37celebrate with them?

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Do you have thoughts like this, Sister Hanif?

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Right. Yes, you are right.

0:02:49 > 0:02:55Oh, I know. There is a story about an eagle and a mouse.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58They formed an unlikely friendship.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03Now, this friendship continued in secret for many, many years.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06But there was something lacking in

0:03:06 > 0:03:09the friendship and the mouse, who was

0:03:09 > 0:03:14very brave, said to the eagle that they needed to be open with

0:03:14 > 0:03:19their relationship, that they needed to celebrate it with all their kin.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22And the eagle agreed

0:03:22 > 0:03:26and the eagle was surprised at all the love

0:03:26 > 0:03:28and acceptance all around them.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34And their friendship is all the stronger for it.

0:03:35 > 0:03:36Why am I the mouse?

0:03:37 > 0:03:42What? You don't have to be the mouse...

0:03:42 > 0:03:46We could use another... A meerkat.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Mrs Tembe. I appreciate you're trying to be subtle...

0:03:49 > 0:03:53When the time comes, I will find the right words.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I will steer the conversation round to the subject of marriage.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Maybe this is not such a good idea.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Trust me.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03At the end of my lunch with Sister Hanif, I will know what is in

0:04:03 > 0:04:05her heart, and she will be none the wiser.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Luke swapped his briefs for boxers.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I got sick of eating grape seeds and maca roots to boost my

0:04:16 > 0:04:21fertility. Nothing helped. Not until you laid your hand on me.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23What?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Don't you remember? You touched me.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30That night, I woke up and I knew something had changed.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33I did the test three times to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37I was crying so much that I could hardly see those two red lines.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Positive!

0:04:39 > 0:04:40How far along are you?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42I had my 12 week scan yesterday.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45The midwife said everything's going well.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Thanks to you and your gift.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's good to see you so happy.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Would you mind? If it is a boy?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'd be honoured.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59"Daniel Deakin". I love it.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Thank you.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08That is one satisfied customer.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Apparently I've got the touch.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12All I have to do is lay on my "magic hands"

0:05:12 > 0:05:14and before you can say "abracadabra",

0:05:14 > 0:05:15my patient's pregnant.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Mr Davies, come through.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Mrs Tembe, something very strange has just happened.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34I just thought you ought to know.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Conception can sometimes be seen as a mystery,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41but this is going too far.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I think you're going to need to open a new clinic.

0:05:44 > 0:05:45Dr Daniel's Magical Hands.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Left hand for a girl, right hand for a boy.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50And both for twins.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54This is all very amusing, but what is the CCG going to say,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57when they think we are advertising "fertility magic"?

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Not magic, no.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Daniel just gave her enough hope that it reduced her stress levels

0:06:02 > 0:06:04and she conceived naturally.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I am gasping.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Are you all right?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11No, the phone's ringing off the hook with women wanting

0:06:11 > 0:06:12appointments with Daniel.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Oh, no.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16I've offered them alternatives, but no, only Daniel will do.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20How can we mere mortals compete with a demigod?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22I'll demigod him when I see him next.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I better get over to the campus.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I will be back before our lunch.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Oh, we could always make it another day.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32No, no! No, no, no. It has to be today.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34I am very much looking forward to it.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Yeah, me too.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Hello.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Hey. I'm just making your marmalade and anchovy toasty.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47I didn't bother making one for myself.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49The marmalade might be down to me, but the anchovy craving,

0:06:49 > 0:06:51that's all you.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I popped in to see Dr Granger.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56There's nothing wrong?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59No. I just wanted to thank him.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Yeah, but we agreed.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Not to mention the miracle, I know.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04But if it hadn't been for him...

0:07:04 > 0:07:06How did he take it?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09He was just happy for us.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10Forgive me?

0:07:10 > 0:07:12This is about the three of us now.

0:07:12 > 0:07:16So let's just forget about Dr Granger and his magic touch.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Now, where's this lunch?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Coming right up.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34I am sure that Mrs Hollins is making a mountain out of

0:07:34 > 0:07:36a mole hill.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40You were saying?

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Mrs Barbour, please, come back in.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45We can have a talk about this.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Shall we?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00You must be loving this.

0:08:00 > 0:08:01Hardly.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04A room full of women begging for your attention.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06How is that not Granger Heaven?

0:08:06 > 0:08:09Having to tell them I'm not the answer to their fertility problems?

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Yeah, that's great fun.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14I hope you made it clear that you are a GP, and not a witch doctor.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm trying to treat each case medically,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19but all they want me to do is touch their bellies.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Trust you to get yourself into this sort of a mess.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24I am concerned about how this is affecting the other patients.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26I don't even know why this is happening.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28I might have the answer to that.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34"Dr Miracle and his magic hands?"

0:08:34 > 0:08:38"With one touch he gave me a precious gift, a baby."

0:08:38 > 0:08:40There's been loads of hits on it,

0:08:40 > 0:08:43and it's linked to various different infertility forums.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Sophie Deakin did this.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Why didn't you put her right?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Because I thought she was joking. - You need to shut this down.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50I will. I'll go to her house and

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I'll get her to take down the article.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54But first I've got to clear the backlog of patients.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55That's why I'm here.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Oh, they will be very disappointed if they don't see Dr Granger.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00OK. They'll be more disappointed if they do.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02At least I'm not going to get their hopes up.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Dr Carmichael is right.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07We need to sort this out speedily and with sensitivity.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09Leave it with me.

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Dr Miracle is on the job.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17And loads of people have been posting comments - look.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20"He can lay his hands on me any time."

0:09:20 > 0:09:22And look - "Dog Lady of Dudley" wants him to help get

0:09:22 > 0:09:24her pedigree poodle pregnant.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27I mean - not a vet.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28What have I missed?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Daniel playing fertility god.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Now there's a man I'd like to have on my couch.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- SISTER HANIF WOLF-WHISTLES - In a professional capacity!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38SID CLEARS THROAT I'd better... I've got patients.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Hello.- Penny for your thoughts?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50It's Marnie. They took her away last night.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51What? Why?

0:09:51 > 0:09:54They've found "a more suitable placement."

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Oh. You have done such a good job.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Thank you.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I'm sorry, Karen.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Did they give you any notice?

0:10:04 > 0:10:05It's part of the job.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08You've got to get used to the comings and goings.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09Yeah.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16I have got a patient now, but what are you both doing for lunch?

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, uh...

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Yes? - I'm looking for Sophie Deakin.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- And you are? - I'm Dr Granger from the Mill.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Oh, the man with the magic touch.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34I did absolutely nothing to encourage that.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35In fact, that's why I'm here.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38I'd like Sophie to take it down. The article.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39What article?

0:10:41 > 0:10:42I'll show you.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh, no.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Yeah, my feelings exactly.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49We've been so excited.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Well, naturally.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53I never knew she was going to broadcast it to the whole world.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54So you'll say something?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yeah, as soon as she's back from the shops.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57OK. I'd appreciate that.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- You OK? - It's nothing.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- You been to your GP? - Sophie's registered me at the Mill,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05but I've not been yet. It's just a twinge, honestly.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm from the Mill. I'm here now. Shall I come in?

0:11:09 > 0:11:10I'll get my bag.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18This table here.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Oh, but this is much quieter.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24No, this is perfect for a little heart to heart.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Heart to heart?

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Hiya. This one all right?

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Yeah. Sorry, I should have said something.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33No. No, no. It is fine. The more the merrier.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39I am starving.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42I'm hoping that roasted veg panini's on the menu.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46So, what is the plan?

0:11:46 > 0:11:47Plan?

0:11:47 > 0:11:49For your birthday?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Heston might have something in mind.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55A celebratory tea tasting maybe?

0:11:55 > 0:11:58A visit to the bow tie museum?

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Dr Carter is very romantic.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04Whatever he has arranged, I'm sure it'll be lovely.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05See, I like the card and the cake.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I just don't want to be reminded that I'm another year older.

0:12:08 > 0:12:09Who does?

0:12:09 > 0:12:12I don't mind. It's just a number. I know some women do not like

0:12:12 > 0:12:15the idea of getting a bit closer to the big 5-0.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Age is just a state of mind.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Hear hear.

0:12:20 > 0:12:26You know, my very dear friend Mrs Whitlock...

0:12:26 > 0:12:28You know, on her 70th birthday she

0:12:28 > 0:12:30finally married the love of her life.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oh, that's lovely.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35She has never been happier.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37In fact, she wished she had done it earlier.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40You always regret the opportunities that you didn't take.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Exactly. So is there anything that you regret not doing?

0:12:45 > 0:12:49If you were to seize the day...?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Actually, there is something.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53What about you, Karen?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56There must be an itch you've always wanted to scratch.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Can't think of anything.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Where's that waiter got to?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07They said there'd be some pain, but this has been too long.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I've done some stupid things in my time,

0:13:09 > 0:13:12but how did you expect to get away with this?

0:13:12 > 0:13:14I've got booties! Luke.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Dr Granger. What...

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- It's OK. - What's he doing here?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21He's come to see you about the article on the website.

0:13:21 > 0:13:22Yeah, I need you to take it down.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- What?- Well, because the surgery is getting inundated.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Isn't that good? - No, it's not.

0:13:29 > 0:13:34But why deny women the blessing that you have given us?

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Sophie, I don't have healing powers.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38We are living proof that you do.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Sophie, just do what he asks, please.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44Is this what happened at 5-aside?

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Yeah.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Is that all it is? A sports injury?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50That's not really for me to say.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52Luke?

0:13:52 > 0:13:53It's serious?

0:13:53 > 0:13:55No, you need to focus on the baby.

0:13:55 > 0:13:56- Cancer?- What?

0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Is it terminal?- No. - You don't have to be brave.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Just tell me the truth. I can take it.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05OK.

0:14:05 > 0:14:06You need some privacy.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08What? You can't abandon me now.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10I've done all I can.

0:14:10 > 0:14:11But she's not going to understand.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Understand what? Luke?

0:14:15 > 0:14:20Your skills must make it easier to find a partner.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Well, you'd think so, but I've kissed a few frogs.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Haven't we all?

0:14:25 > 0:14:27No, no, no. Sergeant Hollins is no frog.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31No, he's a proper Prince.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33You know, he really sort of wobbled

0:14:33 > 0:14:36at the start of this whole fostering thing,

0:14:36 > 0:14:40but you should see him now, you know, in the middle of the night,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42nursing a baby, singing lullabies.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Lullabies? Rob?

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yeah. I mean, he's no Sinatra, but he gives it a go.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Yes, you have found a good man.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54He's struggled a bit lately, but, you know, it's no wonder, is it?

0:14:54 > 0:14:56He's been up all hours.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Yeah, there aren't many men that would volunteer

0:14:58 > 0:15:00to do nappy changing again.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Some of it's been a nightmare,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07but some of it has been very lovely.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11And your marriage is as strong as ever.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13You are a good example to us all.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17You must admit, that marriage can be life-affirming?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20When it works, it's wonderful, but when it doesn't...

0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's like an emotional car crash. Bang!

0:15:27 > 0:15:29'It all started with Nicole.'

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Your ex? She gave you something?

0:15:31 > 0:15:33An STI?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35No. It's what I wouldn't give her.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41We'd only been dating for a few months, and she stopped taking

0:15:41 > 0:15:44- the pill. She said she'd forgotten. - That can happen.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46But then I caught her using a pin to poke holes in condoms.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48What?

0:15:48 > 0:15:51I couldn't trust her, so that's why I had to do it.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Do what?

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Luke's condition is called post-vasectomy pain syndrome.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Vasectomy?- Babe...- What?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Look, I had the vasectomy six years ago, before I'd even met you.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11The pain is from the operation to reverse it.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13What are you talking about?

0:16:13 > 0:16:14I know this is a shock.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16When we got together, we told each other everything.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18But you were focused on your career.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20Why didn't you tell me that you couldn't have children?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23When you started getting broody, I thought it was just a phase,

0:16:23 > 0:16:25and then your friends started having babies,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27and I saw the way you looked at them,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29and I realised that I was ready too.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33You put your hand on my belly.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Yes, but... - You let me think it was a miracle.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38That was my mistake.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41But everything has turned out fine. The reversal's clearly worked.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44The only problem is this pain.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45- It can be agony. - My heart bleeds.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48Sorry, but now that we know that your pregnancy is not down to my

0:16:48 > 0:16:51"magical intervention"... The article?

0:16:51 > 0:16:52Could you...?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Take it down? Yeah.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55That's top of my list.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57OK. I should go.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59But if you do need to talk to someone...

0:16:59 > 0:17:00It won't be you.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Thank you.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11Here we go.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Did you clock the barman?

0:17:12 > 0:17:14Yes, he can shake my cocktail any day of the week.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Talking of the importance of marriage.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Were we?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23He's fit, but I didn't say I wanted to marry him.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27But if you did find Mr Right,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30you would want to cement the relationship legally.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33What does that even mean in this day and age?

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Isn't it just a bit of paper?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Not to me.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Heston and I, we know that we are committed to each other.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Nobody doubts that.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44But a wedding ceremony, that would allow your family,

0:17:44 > 0:17:48your friends, to celebrate your devotion.

0:17:48 > 0:17:49And buy a hat.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Have a party.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53And once you exchange rings and

0:17:53 > 0:17:55start your life as husband and wife...

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I've done vows before, and it did not go well.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Yes, well, just because it did not turn out well the first time,

0:18:04 > 0:18:06that does not mean you cannot try again.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09True. True. Never say never.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12- But if you're happy as you are... - Why rock the boat?

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Heston, he's a bit of a catch.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Indeed. Indeed he is.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20And he would look great in top hat and tails.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27How did you do it?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30What?

0:18:30 > 0:18:33You took a test. A sperm count.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37It proved that you weren't the problem.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Were the results wrong? - No.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41Then how?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43It was a home test kit.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44So?

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Simon.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Simon from work?

0:18:51 > 0:18:54What's he's got to...

0:18:54 > 0:18:55It was his sample?

0:18:58 > 0:19:02So you'd ask an IT technician to supply substitute sperm

0:19:02 > 0:19:04rather than tell me the truth?

0:19:04 > 0:19:05I'm sorry.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Sorry?! You were there.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10For the tests, and the smears,

0:19:10 > 0:19:13and the devastation every time I got my period.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17I wanted to say something. I was just scared of losing you.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19So you let me blame myself?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21No, but I've had the vasectomy reversed.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Clearly that shows how much I love you.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26Can't we just forget about this? Look, a fresh start?

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Leave us alone.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36What?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Your mother's got a spare bed or you can go and stay at

0:19:38 > 0:19:41sperm donor Simon's. I just don't care.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Just get out of my sight.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- But Soph... - Get out!

0:20:02 > 0:20:07How's the week been? Um, good. I think. Yeah. Good.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- And your homework? - Yeah, I've been filling out my book.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Trying to counteract all the negative thoughts.- Good.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15And I had a really good shift with the Rapid Response.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17There was this "drunk versus pavement".

0:20:17 > 0:20:20So much blood... And then I had to deal with all the "ooh aahs".

0:20:20 > 0:20:22The what?

0:20:22 > 0:20:26You know, all the people that stand around going, "Ooh, aah."

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Then I was called to a suspected stroke, a baby with colic,

0:20:29 > 0:20:31and an old lady who'd fallen out of bed.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34They're all recovering really well now.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Sorry, am I'm boring you?

0:20:36 > 0:20:37Why would you think that?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Don't know. You seem disappointed.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Why disappointed?

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I don't know. You just, um...

0:20:44 > 0:20:48Maybe we should examine how you think I see you?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Really?

0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yeah, it can be useful to see what you project onto other

0:20:54 > 0:20:55relationships in your life.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Yeah.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05Mrs Tembe!

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Any news?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14As we discussed, I did not broach the subject head-on.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17There was a little bit of beating around the bush.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Yes.- But I got the distinct impression that if

0:21:21 > 0:21:26a proposal were forthcoming, that Sister Hanif would say yes.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28- Yes?- Yes.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Dr Carter!

0:21:31 > 0:21:32What exactly did she say?

0:21:32 > 0:21:37Well, she said that you would look very good in top hat and tails.

0:21:37 > 0:21:38Top hat and tails!

0:21:39 > 0:21:44Did she give any indication of the sort of proposal she might like?

0:21:44 > 0:21:45Well, we did not go into so much detail.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47No, of course.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49There is plenty of time.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Well. "If it were done when 'tis done,

0:21:51 > 0:21:54- "then 'twere well it were done quickly."- Indeed.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I am planning a birthday lunch for her at Maison De Fous,

0:21:58 > 0:22:02but a proposal... What could be more perfect?

0:22:04 > 0:22:06We see each other a lot outside the room.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Does it make you feel uncomfortable?

0:22:07 > 0:22:09No, no.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11It would be perfectly natural.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12Would it?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Of course. And as long as everything's out in the open...

0:22:19 > 0:22:25OK. Well, there has been some transference, but...

0:22:25 > 0:22:28I mean, we don't need to talk about it or anything.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30What kind of transference?

0:22:30 > 0:22:33You know, the, um...

0:22:33 > 0:22:34The sexual kind.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- OK.- There it is.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's all out in the open now, so there. I've said it,

0:22:41 > 0:22:42so, um... I should probably go.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Sid, sit. Please.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54So I'll see you and your husband next week. OK, bye-bye.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Did she take the article down?

0:22:57 > 0:22:59- No.- But she did rewrite it.- Oh?

0:23:02 > 0:23:05"Dr Average doesn't have magic hands."

0:23:05 > 0:23:07"Dr Average?"

0:23:07 > 0:23:08Bit harsh.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Admit it. You enjoyed having godlike powers.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14I wouldn't be this exhausted if I had impregnated

0:23:14 > 0:23:16a dozen women in one day.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18You'll get over it.

0:23:20 > 0:23:26After all, we both know who really does have magic hands.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36You've done nothing to be ashamed of.

0:23:36 > 0:23:37But you're a colleague.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41The relationship between a therapist and a client is a close one.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45The whole purpose of these sessions is to explore your inner thoughts.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47You can't do that without trust.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Yeah, but I'm supposed to know about professional boundaries.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54The experience of therapy can be overwhelming.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57You're made to feel exclusively noticed and understood.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03But it still doesn't excuse my inappropriate thoughts.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Well, human beings are sexual creatures. It's normal.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11It does feel a bit better now that I've said it.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18But maybe it's a good idea to explore this more.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Really?

0:24:21 > 0:24:25Yeah, I think it's a useful window into old feelings about past

0:24:25 > 0:24:28lovers or the way you interact with others.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Part of the process is to uncover the roots of any issues,

0:24:31 > 0:24:33and make the unconscious conscious.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37We've definitely done that.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46Finished packing already?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50I was saving this for later.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00I started it the day you told me the news.

0:25:05 > 0:25:10"It seemed like any normal day. The car passed its MOT.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14"Letherbridge United were bottom of the league.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16"The weather was average.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21"But it was the best day of our lives,

0:25:21 > 0:25:22"when we found out we were having you.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26"Your mummy had never looked more beautiful.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29"Your daddy had never been happier."

0:25:34 > 0:25:3712 weeks. The first look at our future.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39SOPHIE LAUGHS

0:25:41 > 0:25:45One thoughtful act doesn't make up for years of lies.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48I won't let this ruin what we've got.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53We'll see.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59I could almost feel sorry for him,

0:25:59 > 0:26:02watching his ego deflate like a bad souffle.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Well, he's certainly not going to forget it.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Ruhma?

0:26:08 > 0:26:09Something wrong?

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Far from it. I...

0:26:16 > 0:26:18This is for your ears only.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21I do not want the whole world to know about this, OK?

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Not yet, anyway.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Girl Guide promise.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I thought you were chucked out.

0:26:27 > 0:26:31On a technicality. Ruhma?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35I'm thinking of proposing.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38To Heston?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah, of course Heston.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42That's fantastic.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45There is no way you would find me going down on one knee.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Not even for Daniel.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49OK, so that is the question.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51How do I go about doing it?

0:26:51 > 0:26:54It's not exactly like it's the first time for either of us.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56That doesn't mean it can't be special.

0:26:56 > 0:26:57I agree.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- If you're going to do it, do it in style.- Yeah.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- So when are you going to pop the question?- Um...

0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'd strike while the iron is hot.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08Before you come to your senses.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10What about Friday?

0:27:10 > 0:27:11Friday's my birthday.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12Perfect.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Don't tell me you're really going to do this?

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Why not?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20It's about time I made an honest man out of him.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Good for you.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29I've spent the whole night rejecting ideas.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31It shouldn't be this difficult.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34I just want to do something big. Demonstrative.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35Adonis.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Sorry?- I... Uh...

0:27:38 > 0:27:41I think she'd probably want something quite modest.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44So we're not talking about just some coy suggestion across

0:27:44 > 0:27:45a restaurant table?

0:27:45 > 0:27:48"We're not getting any younger, so how about it, darling?"
