0:03:20 > 0:03:22Yeah...

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Jeanie left me a meat pie. Fancy a bite?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Steak and kidney for breakfast? No, thank you.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Breakfast? Why, what time is it?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Oh, the bloody thing's stopped.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43No, no, it's half eight. How long have you been up?

0:03:44 > 0:03:49"My day or night myself I make

0:03:49 > 0:03:51"whene'er I wake or play,

0:03:51 > 0:03:56"and could I always stay awake... it would always be day!"

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Ha-ha!

0:03:57 > 0:04:00OK, well, remember to eat regularly. Little and often, yes?

0:04:00 > 0:04:05I know, I know, I know. No sugar, no booze,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08nothing that makes life worth living.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Just Jean's meat pie, is it? I'll see you tomorrow. Be good.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Now bloody what?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Hey, look...

0:04:16 > 0:04:17It helps to turn it on.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Who made it, then?

0:04:20 > 0:04:21What?

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

0:04:23 > 0:04:26The meat pie, what else? That's what we were talking about, wasn't it?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Oh. Right. I thought you said Jean made it.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Did she? Ah, that was good of her.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47PHONE RINGS

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Good morning, what's this - my friendly early morning call?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55I'm here now, Andy. Walking through the door.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Peel your ears back and you'll hear my dainty footsteps.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Bye-bye.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Don't get at Paula, it's not her fault.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06We cannae visit her if we don't even know her name.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07She wrote it down.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10On a haematology specimen bag! What use is that?

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Then she threw it away! - Don't go on.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14You know how rude Dr Evans is, I get flustered.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- What's this? - There you go!- Yay!

0:05:17 > 0:05:18I told you I didn't chuck it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21And you're not supposed to staple these things.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Mrs Hales, 27, 36 weeks gone, raised BP...

0:05:24 > 0:05:27I remember, she just moved from an army place. Her husband's in Iran.

0:05:27 > 0:05:28Afghanistan.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Yeah, and her midwife's off sick.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34- SCOTTISH ACCENT: - "Well, this isnae Tannochbrae."

0:05:34 > 0:05:36There's got to be more than one midwife in the city.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38She said the team's stretched to breaking point.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Dr Evans cocking up our lives again. Poor attempt at the accent,

0:05:41 > 0:05:44- by the way.- Hey, I hope you didn't say we'd take her on? Paula?

0:05:44 > 0:05:46You know what she's like. You can't say anything to her.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50She looks down her snotty nose at you and you just die.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oaktree Estate.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Which I think you'll find is in your part of town.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh, it just had to be, didn't it? Yeah, 12 visits today.

0:05:59 > 0:06:0012!

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Well, a little late, a little stressed,

0:06:18 > 0:06:20but on the whole, Kenneth, yes!

0:06:20 > 0:06:23'And to get us all in the mood...

0:06:23 > 0:06:24'to take the world by its scruff...'

0:07:05 > 0:07:06Hello! No school today?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'm poorly.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11Every virus going, Ruby comes down with it.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I really appreciate this, Nurse.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, Frankie. It's not a problem. It's only taken a few minutes.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Are you going to look after your mum for me?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21We look after each other.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27And she's very good - she's, er, she's too good, sometimes.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Every time I take a nap she does the same.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Old before her time.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26Thank you.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34I've got the right flat, haven't I?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Mr Winters?- Jack, yeah.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39You're Mr Winters's wife!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yeah. He's, he's in the bedroom, he's ready.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Oh, thank you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48So, you're caring for your dad and a sick husband - I didn't realise.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52Why would you? Go on in.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Look at the colour of it. It's lurid pink.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57It cannae be natural.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It is. It's healthy. 120 calories.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01And most of that is sugar and fat.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04And fruit. See? On the lid. Raspberry.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Oh, look, Cheryl Cole's got a handbag just like mine.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Obscene, the money people spend on nonsense like handbags.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Right, problem-solving team.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16We've got a woman who's not young herself,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18looking after a terminally ill husband and a frail and forgetful

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- father, the other side of town. How best to help?- Who's this?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Jean Winters. Her husband's terminal CA, and her dad's Walter Thomas.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Old Mr Thomas? He's lovely.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Yes, and demanding and needs care...

0:09:30 > 0:09:32So...

0:09:32 > 0:09:35I mean, I'll get an assessment, but that'll take a month,

0:09:35 > 0:09:37so, any bright ideas until then?

0:09:37 > 0:09:38Howzat!

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Oh, no, it's not mine.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42I've got a gold padlock and a zip on both sides.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Well, thanks for listening and for all your advice(!)

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Don't ask a question for which there is no known answer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50What, how can we help Jean Winters?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52What can we do? Short of sticking her dad in a home.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- They don't want that. - Can they pay for help?

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- I doubt it.- There you go, then.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Hey, have we not got a GP meeting this afternoon?

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Damn. And it had to be Dr Evans, didn't it?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Come on...

0:10:20 > 0:10:22You're such a terrible passenger.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Only when I'm sitting next to a boy racer.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28MOBILE RINGTONE: "The Boy Does Nothing" by Alesha Dixon

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Don't.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40I may be speaking out of turn

0:10:40 > 0:10:43but you do know he's organising another surprise birthday party?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47Oh, yeah, every year. Yes, this'll be the fourth surprise.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49So, you're not going to answer because..?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Because I know why he's ringing. To say, "Sorry, babe. Honest."

0:10:52 > 0:10:54You know, and then he'll make me laugh, and then I'll find

0:10:54 > 0:10:58myself telling him, you know, don't worry about clearing up, so...

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm so glad I'm not a woman. It must be exhausting.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02SHE GIGGLES

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yeah, but remember, us girlies can manage two things at once.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Like?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Like being really, really, pissed off with him,

0:11:09 > 0:11:12and really, really, laughing at him and really, really...

0:11:14 > 0:11:17..no, really, fancying the pants off him.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- That's three things.- Four.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21ENGINE REVS

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yee-ha!

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Hurrah! At last. Let's get started, shall we?

0:11:29 > 0:11:30Mr Banswell.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33Mm-hm, fine, nicely stable on the new insulin regime.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Er, Mrs Isadora Harker.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Referred to the community psychiatric nurse,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- but we're carrying on with... - Psych nurse?

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- How long is that going to take? - Months. If not years.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49Er, have you seen Heather Hales?

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Yeah, she's fine. Elevated BP but nothing alarming.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Can we talk about Jack Winters and Walter Thomas?

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Winters. Terminal CA, isn't he?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Yeah, and his wife is nursing him at home, but I've just discovered

0:12:00 > 0:12:04her dad is Walter Thomas and she's trying to look after both of them - impossible.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Thomas is pernicious anaemia, isn't he?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09And diabetes. Mild dementia.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12What's the problem?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well, his daughter can't look after both of them.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Well, what can I do about that?

0:12:16 > 0:12:21Precious little, and the sooner his daughter realises that, the better.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I'm sorry. How many times do I have to apologise?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30I've spent the whole day doing the house -

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- you haven't even said thank you. - You've just pushed the hoover round.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35I bet you've not done the loo and you've not...

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- What?- I just heard myself. Sorry.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Frustrating day. I shouldn't take it out on you.- I'm used to it.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Am I that bad?

0:12:45 > 0:12:46No, you're just...

0:12:46 > 0:12:47What?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52If you were a pie chart, work would be 90%,

0:12:52 > 0:12:57and I'd be the little, sad crumb of boring pastry.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00No, no, you'd be a big fat mouthful of stuffed crust

0:13:00 > 0:13:02with a hint of smelly old anchovy.

0:13:07 > 0:13:08I love you.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09When I'm angry?

0:13:09 > 0:13:13No. No punch line. I love you.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18I'm not getting middle-aged and crabby, am I?

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Oh, my God. I've just realised. You will be, won't you?

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- What?- You'll be 40 minus four.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Also known as 36. - Yeah, old enough to be a granny!

0:13:26 > 0:13:30- You keep digging.- No, think about it, how sad is that?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Shagging a middle-aged woman! Desperate or wh...?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42It was a joke, honest...

0:13:43 > 0:13:49Fine. It's special duty, traffic control at Colston Hall tonight.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I'll be back when I'm stood down. About one.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04She's only just started there,

0:16:21 > 0:16:24You must get a bit bored stuck inside all day.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26A bit.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Are you still feeling poorly?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Not all the time.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Come here, come on.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38So what is it, hmm? Your tummy, your head, everything?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40No.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44Just a tingly thing in my fingers and toes, and then I get woozy.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48But then I get a bit sick to my stomach.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51I get the tingle first, then the wooze and then the sick.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54And when does this happen?

0:16:54 > 0:16:58If I laugh a lot. Or run. And when I go upstairs.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00And in the shower.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06You want to have a go? OK, bring your hair back.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Hi, Jean...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Right, OK.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29I told you, Dad! I told you and I told you and I told you!

0:17:29 > 0:17:31I want a pie. You never make me a pie.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34I said don't use the oven, and you had a pie yesterday!

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Hi.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38You just missed the bloody fire brigade.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39I didn't call them.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41No, Dad, your poor neighbours did. Again.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I was worried about him taking a chest full of smoke.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- I'm all right. - He was coughing and I panicked.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- I'll have a listen to his chest. - You will not.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55You'll do as you're told, Dad. Not that you ever do.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58He knows not to use that oven!

0:17:58 > 0:18:02Oh, that may be my fault. I turned it on yesterday.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04At the wall.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06He had a pie.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yes, and it was already cooked.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Yes, and he put it in the oven.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I thought he wanted it warm. I just turned it on, Jean.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Oh, great. Thanks. Fabulous(!)

0:18:14 > 0:18:16I leave that up so he can't...

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Oh, what's the use?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25And it's an oven, Dad, it's not a washing machine!

0:18:25 > 0:18:27OK, why don't we just have a sit down?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30OK? Come on, Mr Thomas... Come on, come and have a sit down.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33I'm 60. I can't spread myself this thin any longer.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36What's all this smoke?

0:18:37 > 0:18:40I can't be doing with this carry-on every bloody day.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48Cuppa?

0:18:50 > 0:18:51Yeah.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03I'm at breaking point. I can't go on like this much longer.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05No one could.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I'm just so tired.- Yeah, I can see.

0:19:12 > 0:19:16Listen, I'm going to request a case conference, to get him assessed.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18No. Thanks, but no.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Well, it's the only way we're going to get any help for you.

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Maybe a carer once a day, someone to help him up in the morning

0:19:23 > 0:19:25or maybe settle him down at night?

0:19:25 > 0:19:26I don't want anyone to...

0:19:29 > 0:19:30What, Jean?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I don't want anyone to know we need help.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Why not?

0:19:36 > 0:19:39Because they'll take him away. They'll put him in a home.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42- No, they wouldn't.- They will. The social workers and all that lot.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's what they did with my mum.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Your mum needed full-time nursing. Your dad's just a bit frail.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50I'm not having him... I'm not having him going in one of them places.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Neither is anybody else.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54That's why we've got to get the assessment done, Jean. OK?

0:19:54 > 0:19:56If you don't get any help, you'll get ill.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Then what will happen to him? And Jack?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00So, please, just, please, just trust me. OK?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03I will get you the help that you need. By hook or by crook.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07Right. What sort of help are we going to get with these cutbacks?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Pah! I laugh at cutbacks. I sneer at them.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21So, I can start the wheels rolling?

0:20:21 > 0:20:23If you're sure they're not going to drag him away,

0:20:23 > 0:20:27- kicking and screaming. - I'm sure. I'm positive.

0:20:30 > 0:20:31OK... Thanks.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35When you've finished gassing, I've had bugger all to eat all day.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Charming(!)

0:20:43 > 0:20:45He was a lovely dad, you know.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Oh, he still is.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49Yeah, yeah. He tries to be.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Are you all right?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Yeah, yeah.

0:20:56 > 0:20:57Well, I'd best get myself sorted.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00I've got another man waiting for me on the other side of town.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now you're just boasting!

0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Bye.- Bye-bye.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50No, got to go home and face the music.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Happy music or Leonard Cohen?

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Probably John Cage. Three hours of silence.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57I locked him out.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59- When?- Last night.

0:21:59 > 0:22:04I mean, it was a joke, I didn't mean to... It's kinda hard to explain.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- What did he do?- Slept in the car.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- It's not that funny.- Yeah, it is.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Like the time you threw his car keys in the river.

0:22:10 > 0:22:11I gaily tossed them to him.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13If he's got all the catching skills of a house brick

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- that's not my fault. - The man is a saint. See ya.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49In bed with Doctor Who...

0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, I suppose it would depend on which one.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58No, one of the monsters. The Ancient One.

0:22:58 > 0:22:59Yeah?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Cos you and him...

0:23:02 > 0:23:03Ah, go on.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, you and him...

0:23:06 > 0:23:08you'd have a lot in common.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yes!

0:23:29 > 0:23:30All right?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32- What?- Nothing. All right?

0:25:31 > 0:25:35One was just the toaster setting off the alarm and we've all done that.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36They just need a bit of help, a few hours a day.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39You just told me the care agency couldn't give you any hours.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43So, we'll just kick up a stink. You could request an assessment from occupational therapy.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45I could, but there are more pressing cases,

0:25:45 > 0:25:47people with no relatives at all.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49Well, there's got to be something we can do.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Why do you always insist there is something we can do?

0:25:52 > 0:25:53Sometimes there isn't.

0:25:53 > 0:25:55Apart from putting the old guy into a care home.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58Then we're back where we started. He won't go. She doesn't want that.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00You do realise, the longer you indulge this old man,

0:26:00 > 0:26:02the more pressure you put on his daughter?

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, his wife went into care, and it wasn't a good experience.

0:26:05 > 0:26:06This isn't a good experience.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Sitting in there, listening to aches and pains and people with bad

0:26:10 > 0:26:12back insurance claims all day isn't a good experience.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Ah, no school again?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53She went in, but they called to say she wasn't feeling well.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54Not more wooze, is it?

0:26:54 > 0:26:56It's just going on and on this time.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Usually she's poorly for a few days, but this time...

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Ever had a diagnosis?

0:27:01 > 0:27:04We've been to three different GPs and they all say the same.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07"It's a virus," "It'll go when it goes," etc, etc.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09The old virus cop-out, eh?

0:27:10 > 0:27:12She's not her usual, happy self, either.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14I am!

0:27:14 > 0:27:18OK, um, how about I get you an appointment with a consultant?

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Do you think it's that serious?

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Probably not, but it's beginning to worry you, isn't it?

0:27:24 > 0:27:27So may as well find out once and for all.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Right then, I'm going to order myself a big fat cream cake

0:27:30 > 0:27:33and you are not to tell anyone, OK?

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Paediatrics, please.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Hi, could I talk to Mr Lasco?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Frankie Maddox.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Morning, sir.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06What the hell do you want?

0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's me, Frankie.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Get out of my bloody house!

0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's me, Mr Thomas, the district nurse.

0:28:16 > 0:28:17Bugger off, I don't want you here!

0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Look, I've got to give you your insulin, OK?- Get out! Get out!

0:28:21 > 0:28:22Get out!

0:28:25 > 0:28:27- OK...- That'll teach you.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29- I was in the Army, you know. - OK, OK, I'm going!

0:28:29 > 0:28:33I'm not one of your poor old codgers that you can rob.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41HE SOBS

0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Life's never dull, is it? - Oh, I'm so sorry.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47It's all right. It's not your fault.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50No, I stopped to talk to Dr Evans, and I'm later than usual.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Maybe... Maybe his blood sugar's low?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56It's not your fault. Look, he gets like this.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58Oh, Jean. That is awful.

0:28:58 > 0:29:01It's only just started. Well, a few weeks ago.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Well, I wish you'd told us.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07I meant to, but he's my dad. How could I?

0:29:07 > 0:29:10- He doesn't even know he's doing it. - This can't go on, Jean.

0:29:10 > 0:29:14- Look, I can manage.- No, I'm going to have to speak to Social Services.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17No, that's why I didn't tell you. I don't want them barging in.

0:29:17 > 0:29:18I have no choice!

0:29:18 > 0:29:21You know, what if he hits a child, or somebody hits him back?

0:29:21 > 0:29:24He never goes out! He wouldn't get the chance. Well, that's it.

0:29:24 > 0:29:25They'll just lock him up now.

0:29:25 > 0:29:29- No, it won't come to that. - Look, he hates those places.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31It broke his heart when he couldn't manage my mum anymore

0:29:31 > 0:29:34and we'd go to visit her every day, and it was terrible.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37She was never in her own clothes,

0:29:37 > 0:29:39they'd say hers were in the wash or lost...

0:29:39 > 0:29:43And she was just so sad, like all the life went out of her.

0:29:43 > 0:29:46She lost loads of weight, and we knew she wasn't eating

0:29:46 > 0:29:50and nobody cared, and he'll go downhill just like she did.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Butter wouldn't melt.

0:29:59 > 0:30:00He nursed my mum for years.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02And now, when he needs looking after...

0:30:02 > 0:30:05You're doing a great job, and he thinks the world of you.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07I couldn't bear to see him go into a home.

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Please, don't tell anybody about this. Please.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19OK, but he needs to be assessed.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22No, because once they get their foot in the door...

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Please, just... Just leave things as they are. Please?

0:30:29 > 0:30:30THEY LAUGH

0:30:30 > 0:30:33What? It's a veg. It's hot.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Stop looking at me like that!

0:30:35 > 0:30:37If she'd got into good habits when she was younger...

0:30:37 > 0:30:41- Too late now.- 36, start checking for osteoporosis soon.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- Chubby people don't usually get it. - Er, hello! What is this?

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Good morning?

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Great, thanks, why?

0:30:48 > 0:30:50I've had a hell of a time.

0:30:50 > 0:30:53If I'd known it was all leg ulcers and ingrown toenails...

0:30:53 > 0:30:56Sometimes I wonder why I didn't go into midwifery.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59All those screaming women? No thanks.

0:31:08 > 0:31:09How did you do it?

0:31:09 > 0:31:10What?

0:31:10 > 0:31:13- You know fine well what. - What, this? It's nothing.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- So how did you do it?- Walked into a door. No, really, I did.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24OK. Which door?

0:31:25 > 0:31:26In confidence?

0:31:26 > 0:31:28If that's what it takes.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32I'm a bit shaken, actually. I did walk into a door.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34But I was sort of knocked into it. He didn't mean to.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Please, tell me it wasn't Ian.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Ian? Good God, no. Mr Thomas.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42If it was Ian he'd be in ITU by now.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Mr Thomas.- Yes, he was probably a bit light-headed, needed insulin,

0:31:45 > 0:31:46gets a bit confused.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Whoa, whoa, hang on, what's all this "in confidence" stuff?

0:31:49 > 0:31:52- You have filed an incident report? - No, there's no need. It's nothing.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55- And have you told anyone at all?- No!

0:31:56 > 0:31:59Franks! You cannae pretend this hasn't happened.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01He's old and confused and I startled him.

0:32:01 > 0:32:05Then make a note of it. Make sure everyone else knows.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09- There's no need. He's a big softie, really.- Sit down.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11What? Oh, come on, I'm not concussed.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17So something happens tomorrow. Right?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19You're ill, one of the others goes to visit him...

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Talk about overkill.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Don't you think you owe it to them to warn them?

0:32:23 > 0:32:24I won't be ill, I'm never ill.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28- Or if he hurts someone else and you've done nothing to stop him?!- He won't.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Or hurts himself? Lashes out at someone not quite as understanding?

0:32:30 > 0:32:32I've gone through this with Jean, OK?

0:32:32 > 0:32:35He doesn't go anywhere, he doesn't see anyone.

0:32:35 > 0:32:36This is great(!)

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Everyone else knows where to draw the line, but Frankie Maddox,

0:32:39 > 0:32:40oh, no.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42I don't want to make things worse.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45You have to protect the team, Frankie,

0:32:45 > 0:32:47and you have to protect yourself.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48OK, if it happens again...

0:32:54 > 0:32:56Hopeless. Bloody hopeless.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00Get him assessed.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's the least you should do.

0:33:20 > 0:33:25Hey, Ruby Red Shoes, I've just made a very special appointment for you.

0:33:25 > 0:33:29Mum's crying. She's been trying to get you.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31Something's gone wrong. I'm bleeding.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35OK. That might be nothing to worry about. How much?

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Um, it looks like a lot.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42OK. No big panic, OK? Deep breaths. Deep breaths.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44It's going to be all right.

0:33:44 > 0:33:45I'm sorry to be a nuisance.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47No, you're not. That's why I'm here.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12There you go.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13Hello, Molly.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16I thought you said you didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19- We don't.- The minute they told me, I just knew.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22(Don't say a word.)

0:34:28 > 0:34:29OK?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Hey, Andy. Any problems?

0:34:36 > 0:34:40No, none at all. We've split your calls up between us. How's the mum?

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Dying for a cup of tea.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45You're driving a patient?

0:34:45 > 0:34:48No. Yes. Off duty. Don't go on...

0:34:48 > 0:34:51So, I've got Ruby an appointment with paediatrics tomorrow,

0:34:51 > 0:34:54and, do you know, she waved to the new baby today,

0:34:54 > 0:34:57and I think that new baby might just have waved back!

0:34:57 > 0:35:00- And how's your head? - Fine, thanks, how's yours?

0:35:00 > 0:35:01- Ruby?- She's asleep.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Ruby...

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Ruby...

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Ruby...Ruby!

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Andy, hold on, don't hang up.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15She's not breathing. Oh, my God!

0:35:15 > 0:35:16Andy, can you hear this?

0:35:16 > 0:35:19Yeah, where are you? I'll call the paramedics.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21We've hit some traffic...Hello?

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Frankie, speak to me.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Oh, damn it.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Oh, God! Help us.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Undo the belt.

0:35:31 > 0:35:32Is she dead? Oh, God!

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Please, no. Please no, no...

0:35:38 > 0:35:41Hey there, Ruby Tuesday! Hey, she's back with us.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Thank God, thank God.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45No, no, no, lie still, Ruby, it's all right, just lie still.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49Oh, no, she's gone again - Ruby, wake up. Ruby, wake up!

0:35:50 > 0:35:53- 'Emergency, which emergency service do you require?'- Ambulance.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56'Emergency ambulance, tell me exactly what happened.'

0:35:56 > 0:35:59This is a cardiac arrest call. I'm Lead District Nurse Frankie Maddox,

0:35:59 > 0:36:02I'm on the Colton Dual Carriageway with an eight-year-old child in cardiac arrest.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05Request paramedics or police escort. Please advise.

0:36:05 > 0:36:06'One moment, please.'

0:36:07 > 0:36:09I'm a first aider. Can I help?

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Chest compressions, I'll do mouth to mouth. You're on six.

0:36:11 > 0:36:1324 more, please.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16'This is ambulance despatch, we have a paramedic on the way to you.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18'Which side of the dual carriageway are you on?'

0:36:18 > 0:36:20Eastbound. We're stuck in traffic.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22'We're doing everything we can to get through.'

0:36:31 > 0:36:3330 more, please. Nelly The Elephant.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Can you look out for the ambulance for me, please?

0:36:36 > 0:36:39OK, we've got respiration and heartbeat.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43OK. We're going to come in under our own steam.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45'A police car and an ambulance are on the way.'

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Sorry. We can't wait.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49OK, sweetheart, we're going to get you back into the car.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52You get in. One, two, three - help.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Can you clear a lane for me? Cheers.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Come on, pull over. Over here.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Come on, move. Come on - move!

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Move over!

0:37:13 > 0:37:15Come on, move! In there, in there...

0:37:17 > 0:37:20In there. Go. Come on, move!

0:37:22 > 0:37:24How far's the hospital?

0:37:24 > 0:37:27At this rate, three minutes off the next roundabout.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43Heather! I've got you.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13'Hi, you're through to Andy. Please leave a message.'

0:38:13 > 0:38:17Hey, Andy. We made it.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21They've got her all wired up...

0:38:21 > 0:38:26but they're 90% sure it's super ventricular tachycardia.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29They're going to give her a pacemaker tomorrow.

0:38:51 > 0:38:52I am bloody starving.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Shall we go out for a steak?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58All right. 'Fess up. What you done?

0:38:58 > 0:39:00- What?- You never cook.

0:39:00 > 0:39:01Oh, I do so.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05No, not dinner, dinner. Pasta and crap, but not, not proper dinner.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Well, maybe I've turned over a new leaf.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11No, seriously, Franks, what you done?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well, it's my birthday tomorrow.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18And I know you'll have arranged a lovely surprise for me.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Who told you?

0:39:20 > 0:39:22I don't know what the surprise is,

0:39:22 > 0:39:27but...there's always a surprise...usually a party.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30- Bit predictable, eh? - No, nothing wrong with that.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33I just want to make a fuss of you, before you make a fuss of me...

0:39:33 > 0:39:35because I love you.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Ah, babe.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14"Frankie, you are the wind beneath my wings.

0:40:14 > 0:40:18"You make everything possible and even the grey days bright.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23"Now get up and get rid of that curry stain.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27"All my love, for ever and a day, Ian."

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I don't think you should tell me off in front of everyone, Mary.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38I'm not telling you off, I'm trying to explain to you why it matters.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41I thought there was a system for official warnings and things.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Get over yourselves, girls. Who's on about any sort of warning?

0:40:44 > 0:40:46I thought you'd all be out on the road by now.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49We've got to make home visits to five clinic patients from yesterday.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51She forgot to take the specimens to the labs.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Why did you say "forgot" like that? Like "forgot"?

0:40:55 > 0:40:57Oh, happy birthday, chick.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Happy birthday.- Yeah, happy birthday, Frankie.- Thank you.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02Here you go, here's a big silly card and a pressie.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Oh, thank you. Can I save it for tonight?- Yeah.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Thank you.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Where could they be?

0:41:11 > 0:41:13Are you still here?

0:41:13 > 0:41:16No, I'm on the by-pass, getting a speeding ticket. I've lost them.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18How could I lose them?

0:41:18 > 0:41:20If it's the mileage claims, they're all done.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23What? Entered and everything?

0:41:23 > 0:41:24Mm-hm.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Timesheets and monthly reports too,

0:41:26 > 0:41:28while you were being heroic on the by-pass.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30- I love you, Nurse Peat.- I know.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32So are you going to manage to have a couple of hours off

0:41:32 > 0:41:34and enjoy your birthday?

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Oh, yeah, later. I said I'd call in on Heather.

0:41:36 > 0:41:37Take her a nightie and stuff.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40And they're starting Mr Thomas's assessment today, so...

0:41:40 > 0:41:41Miracles and wonders!

0:41:41 > 0:41:43What? I do listen to you sometimes, you know.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45So you filled in an incident report form?

0:41:45 > 0:41:47- No need. It was an accident. - No, it wasn't.- Shut up.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49You want them to assess him with half the information!

0:41:49 > 0:41:52I refer the honourable member to my earlier response.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Could you, er, could you call the Army?

0:41:55 > 0:41:58Aye. I'll ring Whitehall right away. It's one-two one-two, isn't it?

0:41:58 > 0:42:01He's in Afghanistan, Stephen Hales. How hard can it be?

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Do you even know which regiment he's in?

0:42:03 > 0:42:04Yes. He disarms bombs and IEDs.

0:42:04 > 0:42:08But you, you, don't go putting yourself out for him!

0:42:12 > 0:42:15They're going on half-hour BP checks. That's good.

0:42:15 > 0:42:16Yeah, thanks for telling them.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19And Ruby will soon be a bionic super-woman.

0:42:19 > 0:42:24- Right, from now on I don't want you to budge from this bed.- And Ruby?

0:42:24 > 0:42:25You can take it in turns.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28- They won't mind?- Are you kidding? Two people in one bed?

0:42:28 > 0:42:33If the bosses find out, it'll be an NHS directive this time next week.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37Are you sure you can give us all this time?

0:42:37 > 0:42:38Mm-hm. Positive.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42And, er, it might make up a tiddly bit for being

0:42:42 > 0:42:44so slow to get Ruby to a consultant.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Like I said, she wasn't your patient.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48The world is my patient.

0:42:52 > 0:42:55Come on, Ruby - you're on!

0:42:57 > 0:43:00She'll be out before you know it. Here you go.

0:43:13 > 0:43:17You can relax now. She's on the mend.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Go on. Go home. We're fine.- OK.

0:43:23 > 0:43:24You've got my number?

0:43:24 > 0:43:26Yeah. Go on. It's all done.

0:43:26 > 0:43:27I'll pop back in the morning.

0:43:27 > 0:43:31We'll be home by then. Good night, goodbye, and thank you.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Hi Andy, she's back in the ward and looking good.

0:43:43 > 0:43:44What a relief!

0:43:44 > 0:43:47'Where have you been, Franks? We've been trying to get you.'

0:43:47 > 0:43:49Had my phone off, didn't I?

0:43:49 > 0:43:51'We've had a call from Mr Thomas's daughter.

0:43:51 > 0:43:54'She's in a real state, Frankie. They started the assessment.'

0:43:54 > 0:43:57What, already? That's annoying, I promised that I'd...

0:43:57 > 0:43:59'..Be there. Yes. Jean said.

0:43:59 > 0:44:02- 'Just get a move on. The old guy's kicking off.'- OK.

0:44:07 > 0:44:08Stop them - don't let them.

0:44:08 > 0:44:10- What are you doing? - Please keep calm.

0:44:10 > 0:44:12They're locking him up.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14We're taking him into care under Section 4 of the Mental Health Act.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17- Don't make it any harder.- Where are you taking him?- St Joseph's.

0:44:17 > 0:44:19You promised me this wouldn't happen.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21He's very disoriented. He didn't know his daughter.

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- He picked a knife up and threatened us.- Yes, but he was confused!

0:44:24 > 0:44:27- He didn't mean it.- Very confused, yes. We can't leave him here.

0:44:27 > 0:44:29OK, look, this is just an emergency,

0:44:29 > 0:44:31not the full 28 days -

0:44:31 > 0:44:33just let him go for now and we'll sort it out, OK?

0:44:33 > 0:44:35Why are they taking me away?

0:44:36 > 0:44:39I'm sorry, Mr Thomas. We can't leave you in the house alone.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42But Jeanie's here. My Jeanie.

0:44:43 > 0:44:45Aren't you, lovely? Tell them.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48Jean's got to go home.

0:44:48 > 0:44:52Liar! She wouldn't leave me all alone.

0:44:52 > 0:44:53Well, her husband needs her.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58I need her. Stuff him. He can make his own tea.

0:44:59 > 0:45:03Jeanie! I don't want to go!

0:45:06 > 0:45:07Let him get settled in.

0:45:07 > 0:45:10Seeing you like this is only going to upset him.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Oh, God...

0:45:18 > 0:45:19I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22This is the only thing we can do.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24Stop them. You promised...

0:45:25 > 0:45:27You cow.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30You right royal cow.

0:45:53 > 0:45:56That is the last message I run for you.

0:48:27 > 0:48:28How often?

0:48:28 > 0:48:30Every seven minutes.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33- I'm not leaving Ruby. - She's well away.- No, she'll wake up.

0:48:33 > 0:48:35Heather, you need to be in maternity.

0:48:35 > 0:48:39- They're waiting for us. - Look at you. Been Gok Wanned!

0:48:39 > 0:48:40Oh, wow.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44'You really have tracked him down?'

0:48:44 > 0:48:46Yeah, he's already on his way home.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48Soon as they heard there was a concern about her BP.

0:48:48 > 0:48:51That's great. But where is he now?

0:48:51 > 0:48:55Somewhere between Afghanistan and Brize Norton and here.

0:48:55 > 0:48:58Not good enough. Does he know about Ruby's pacemaker?

0:48:58 > 0:48:59'No, how could he?'

0:48:59 > 0:49:01Do they not have phones?

0:49:01 > 0:49:04He's been on an Army transport plane. She's been in hospital.

0:49:04 > 0:49:06'Well, I'm not leaving until Stephen gets here.'

0:49:06 > 0:49:08I don't know what you want me to do about it.

0:49:08 > 0:49:11See if there's any way you can speed things up, you know -

0:49:11 > 0:49:13get someone to meet him when he lands. I don't know!

0:49:13 > 0:49:15The plan is he'll get a train.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18That means he could be here by the morning. This is my fault.

0:49:18 > 0:49:22'I mean it, I'm not leaving her alone.'

0:49:22 > 0:49:24Going to give it a rest with the guilt thing?

0:49:24 > 0:49:26It's getting a wee bit wearing.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39- Why would they do that? - Well, why not?

0:55:41 > 0:55:43You're drunk on emotion. Have you spoken to Ian?

0:55:43 > 0:55:46Not for a bit. Is he a bit pissed off?

0:55:46 > 0:55:48- Make the call.- He is, isn't he?

0:55:48 > 0:55:52And here's me practising how to say "Yes, please" all week.

0:55:52 > 0:55:53What?

0:55:54 > 0:55:57He was going to propose. I found the ring.

0:55:57 > 0:56:02Oh, bloody hell. No, seriously, Franks, make the call.

0:56:02 > 0:56:06Nah, better face to face.

0:56:06 > 0:56:09He'll shout a bit and then he'll see the funny side.

0:56:14 > 0:56:15It'll be fine.

0:56:37 > 0:56:39I know you're upset...

0:56:45 > 0:56:48I know you're disappointed, and I'm really sorry.

0:56:48 > 0:56:52I mean, I'm really, really, really, sorry. I can't say it enough.

0:56:54 > 0:56:55But it's like you said, isn't it?

0:56:55 > 0:56:58We understand each other's work. Don't we?

0:57:02 > 0:57:03Ian?

0:57:06 > 0:57:08Are you there?

0:57:11 > 0:57:12Ian?

0:57:12 > 0:57:16You, er... You haven't listened to your messages yet?

0:57:16 > 0:57:19What? No. It's all been mad and a bit...

0:57:20 > 0:57:22..bloody marvellous this end.

0:57:24 > 0:57:25Why?

0:57:27 > 0:57:31'Ian? Sweetheart? Ian?'

0:57:35 > 0:57:39# Frankie and Johnny, yeah, they were lovers

0:57:39 > 0:57:41# Oh, how that girl loved that guy

0:57:43 > 0:57:45# One day a brand new, female girl

0:57:45 > 0:57:48# Gave Frankie's guy the eye

0:57:50 > 0:57:54# He was her man but he did her wrong. #

0:57:58 > 0:58:01Where the hell have you been?

0:58:01 > 0:58:03Didn't see how slaughtered she got on your birthday, did you?

0:58:03 > 0:58:06- Every cloud... - She was wasted, oh, yeah!

0:58:06 > 0:58:08- Shut your mouth, Karen. - I need to tell you something.

0:58:08 > 0:58:11Hey, hey, hey. You're going to get flattened. Who's the woman?

0:58:13 > 0:58:15No-one you know.

0:58:15 > 0:58:18- What's happened?- I'll be fine. I'm feeling better.

0:58:18 > 0:58:21Can you make him understand he needs to be in cardiac care?

0:58:21 > 0:58:22If she'd gone into a hospice a week ago,

0:58:22 > 0:58:24maybe he wouldn't have had a heart attack.

0:58:24 > 0:58:26And don't think this is the end of it.

0:58:26 > 0:58:29If the CPS are not prosecuting, the primary cause of death...

0:58:29 > 0:58:31Don't think it's the end of it for you.
