0:00:02 > 0:00:05All you're good for is moaning and whining...
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Are we going to go for it? Because I...I really need to know.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Look...it's not simple, it's comp...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13You know what, forget about it.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16If the prize for consultant's badge is sucking up to some flash idiot
0:00:16 > 0:00:20who's just bought their way on to the ward, then you can keep your damn job.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23- He stole my grandfather's medals. - I'm sorry.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Physical assault of a senior consultant in the work place.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30That should be more than enough to suspend her. Agreed?
0:01:12 > 0:01:18# I'll have a blue Christmas
0:01:18 > 0:01:20# Without you
0:01:22 > 0:01:24# I'll be so blue... #
0:01:26 > 0:01:28SIREN WAILS
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thank you, goodbye.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Dr Copeland.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Mr...Featherstone. Pancreatic cancer.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Most recently treated at the Royal Huntley,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16but he transferred himself.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Well, hang on. They've got an excellent oncology department.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Did you say Featherstone?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Yes. Er...Hugo.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Sounds dead posh.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30He's some big cheese arthropod.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Oh, I forgot to say, your turkey hat arrived.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Oh, yes! Do you like the snowflakes?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Yeah, yeah, they're great.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Is that you, Levy?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Must be more than 30 years.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Never lost the baby fat then?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51You two know each other?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, yes. From school.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Everyone called him "Cheesy Levy" back then. Hideously pongy feet.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59We used to throw his socks out the window.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Yeah, those were the days. Casual bullying on a daily basis.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04No harm done. Look at you now!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Consultant General Surgeon in Holby City Hospital.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Senior Registrar.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Whoops...
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Yeah, they keep asking me to reconsider. In fact, they're interviewing today...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Let's face it, you never were a born leader.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Put himself up for school prefect. Didn't get a single vote, poor chap.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Nice hat, by the way.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26You've got to help me, please!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28He's a transfer from the ED... RTC.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Rib fractures and possible bilateral pulmonary contusion.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Sounds like a regular trauma case to me. What's brought you up here?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37They say I haven't got a heart, but that can't be right.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38I'm madly in love!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41The ED failed to find traceable heart sounds on his left-hand side.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Oh, so we have a man with a void instead of a beating heart.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- (Sounds a bit like you.) - Thank you.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Bay One, please!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16KNOCK ON DOOR
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Come in.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Merry Christmas, Mr Hanssen.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Yes, you did, but, er, surely everyone deserves a second chance?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Especially this time of year? - You are suspended, Nurse Reynolds.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37You are not allowed on hospital premises unless it is to attend a pre-arranged hearing.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I know I didn't handle myself very well.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40But, Ms Naylor...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43You will have the opportunity to present any
0:04:43 > 0:04:45extenuating circumstances at your hearing.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I'll be honest with you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I really, really need this job.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55But the matter's out of my hands, I'm afraid.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Mr Hanssen, please.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01HR will be in touch in due course, now would you please leave?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13IN SHRILL FALSETTO: # Hark! The herald angels sing
0:05:13 > 0:05:20# Glory to the newborn king. #
0:05:23 > 0:05:28You have a very...unusual tone, Dr Shreve.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Um, but I'm looking for voices that will blend!
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Harmonise!
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- What did I miss? - You didn't get the memo?- No.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Right, well, we are auditioning for the Carol-a-thon,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44where each ward goes and takes a turn out by the tree
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and the choir that raises the most money for charity wins.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Let's see how YOU sound, Dr Digby!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I'm all right, I...- Now come on! I need a soloist for the opening verse and you might just have
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- that childlike innocence I'm looking for.- Er, what about me?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh, far too rugged and world-weary.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Er, I go to pieces in front of an audience, you...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It's not La Scala Milan, Arthur!
0:06:08 > 0:06:09You'll be fine, son.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Yes, thank you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# Once in Royal David's... #
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Started too high, sorry.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26IN BARITONE: # Stood a lowly cattle shed... #
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh, how I miss Dr Tressler's dulcet tones at this time of year.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41We're still waiting on your original scans, but from what I've read,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43it appears you've had exemplary treatment.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46First class. Couldn't fault it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48So why did you choose to move?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Anonymity.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Worked at the Huntley my entire career.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Known as this big, ballsy character.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Tough. Uncompromising.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Juniors look up to me. Peers respect me.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So why here?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Why me?
0:07:06 > 0:07:11It's been manageable so far, but this cancer's a bastard.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15And I know it's going to get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I don't need my colleagues seeing me go through that.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But they'd want to support you, surely?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's not about them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24It's about me not having to witness their discomfort as I get weaker,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28start losing my hair, trying to hide their "cancer face".
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Just makes fighting it harder.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32I see.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36But I will win this battle, Levy. Whatever it takes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37And you're going to help me.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Right, so successful Carol-a-thon members need to be
0:07:40 > 0:07:42out by the tree by 4.30.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm on an interview panel till then, so I need you all on top form.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Christmas is always chaotic and what with Mr Di Lucca being fully
0:07:48 > 0:07:52occupied in theatre, I would like to get the dream team back together...
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, Morven, you'll be working with Dr Digby today.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Aww! Juliet finally gets her Romeo back.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59You seem to enjoy working together
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and have a natural rapport that's very, um...unusual.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, cos you fancy the pants off him.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Fine by me.- And me, yep. - Excellent. Well, have fun!
0:08:10 > 0:08:11What?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Oh, no! Not at Christmas! You've got to be kidding!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20An open ward in my condition? What if it's Ebola?
0:08:20 > 0:08:21Who's that?
0:08:21 > 0:08:25It's Mr James. Proverbial pain in the ar...ahhh, Mr James!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- I can handle this. - Yeah? OK, good luck.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Hello.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34What's your initial diagnosis, Dr March? Is he truly heartless?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36No. His is definitely in there.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I think the severity of the impact caused a massive pneumothorax,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44forcing the heart to move to the right.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Hmmm, well, that's very unlikely.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Look at the seatbelt marks,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51it's a result of increased abdominal pressure.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I'd bet my cat's life on a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Phfft. That doesn't count! You don't even like your cat.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Anyway, you'd be more breathless than in pain.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Hmm, could be down to increased lung capacity, not tensioning yet.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh, let's see what the CT and X-ray say, shall we?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09How long am I going to be stuck here, Doc?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Supposed to be proposing to my girlfriend on Christmas Eve. In Newcastle.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, is that where you were heading?
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Yeah. Only got ten miles out before Driving Home For Christmas
0:09:18 > 0:09:19came on the radio.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So I settled back, big smile on my face,
0:09:22 > 0:09:25thinking everything is so perfect, when BAM! Hit a wall.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Must've nodded off.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Yes, well, you won't be driving anywhere for quite some time.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31But I've got it all planned out!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Window table on the quayside, champagne on ice,
0:09:35 > 0:09:391,000 Catherine wheels bursting to life at the stroke of midnight,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42spelling, "Chloe I-Heart-U. Will you marry me?"
0:09:45 > 0:09:46What do you reckon?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I think it's the most fabulously romantic thing I've ever heard.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Yes, or the most pointlessly extravagant.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52She deserves it!
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Chloe's clever, kind, beautiful.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Like, top model stunning. And look at me!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well, it's not all about looks.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03And you are...very well built.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Yeah, but most couples are on a pretty level playing field.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Like you two, if you were together. Mr and Mrs Perfect.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12PAGER BEEPS
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Ahem.- Yes, sorry, I'm needed in...ITU.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22This is Mr James. He's a 42-year-old asthmatic.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24He had a severe episode at home,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27but he managed to call an ambulance before he passed out.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30He was admitted to the ED and given a Salbutamol nebuliser,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34but he's shown little signs of improvement, so they transferred him up here.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Typical NHS lassitude, no thinking outside the box.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Sorry? - I have all the symptoms of Ebola.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Chest pains, headache, cough, raised rash.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK, that looks like eczema to me, which you suffer from historically.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52"Looks like"? You can't be 100% certain.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I should be on lockdown till you know for sure.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Don't worry, Mr James.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Ebola symptoms are usually typified by hemorrhagic fevers,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03nausea and vomiting and bleeding from the eyes and other orifices.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05What if this is just the beginning?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Acute appendicitis with peritonitis on its way.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I could use an extra pair of hands.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12If the "dream team" can bear to be parted, that is.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Um, just bear with us one second. Dr Shreve, can you...?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21This man has a history for being very unreasonable.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Are you sure you're going to be able to cope if I...?
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Look, I'm a professional doctor. I'm not a silly little schoolgirl.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Right, Mr James. Where were we?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Let me know when the patient's settled in recovery.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Peace offering. I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Fran, go home. You're not even supposed to be here.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Guy, wait, please! Just give me five minutes!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Look, whatever you've got to say has nothing to do with me any more.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53So if you'll excuse me...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Squawk!
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Who's your friend?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07He's coming home with me. Hello.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Wife? Or bit on the side?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Girlfriend, actually. But I have been married.
0:12:20 > 0:12:21Twice.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Love 'em and leave 'em, Levy! Who'd have thought it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29So, what do you think? Am I a dead man walking?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Comparing these with your previous scans,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I would suggest we're now looking at Stage 2A.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40But there is nothing apparent in the nearby large blood vessels
0:12:40 > 0:12:41or lymph nodes.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44However, I would still like to order a repeat CT, just in case.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- In case it's spread further. - Precisely.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I'm fully aware I've had a bad roll of the cancer dice.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Only 5% of people with my diagnosis live five years or more.- Yes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Yes, I know.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I'm so sorry.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Don't be. Because I'm going to be one of them.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I have four boys at home who think I'm invincible.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09And I've no intention of letting them down.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Of course not.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Why shouldn't it be me? That statistic has to apply to someone.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- I understand that, but... - But what?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Are you with me on this or not?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Yes. Yes. Of course I am.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26We'll do everything we possibly can.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Now, is there anything you haven't told me that's not in these notes?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Any new, more recent symptoms?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I've been experiencing upper abdominal pain
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and it's been getting more severe.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39I need to know why.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42This cancer isn't going to kill me, Levy.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I'll order that repeat CT.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25OK, so there's been some slight improvement in your breathing
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but because your attack was quite severe,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31I'd like to order a chest X-ray, FBC and U & Es, please.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Yes, boss.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I've got stomach pains now... Feel bloated.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37That's nothing to do with my asthma.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40No, that'll be your old trouble again. Bit of trapped wind.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Turkey and sprouts will do that to a fella.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Thank you, Nurse Fletcher.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53If only all the staff were as kind and attentive as you are.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55That's very nice of you.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Right. Let's get this allergy test out of the way,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00so we can get you home in good time for Christmas.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Any exciting plans?- Just the usual. Me and Mother.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Oh, so you're not married then?
0:15:08 > 0:15:09Oh, never met the right girl.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Right, on your side then, please.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Apologies if this results in an expulsion of gas.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I'll do my best to keep it in.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Hm.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30So, um, I'm just going to dot your back with a marker
0:15:30 > 0:15:33to reference which allergy we're testing for, OK?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Ooh! Ah! Ha!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Sorry, I have got exceptionally sensitive skin.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Aahhh... Oooh...
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Ahhhhh!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Oh...that...tickles...
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Ooooh! Ha-ha-haaaa...
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Everything all right?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Excuse me one moment, please.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Yeah, um, he started to sound a little bit pervy
0:16:04 > 0:16:05and I want to make sure you're all right.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I'm perfectly capable of looking after myself, thank you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Let's put it right at the top, shall we? Can you reach?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Ms Naylor? I would like to consult with you about a very unusual patient.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It's going to have to wait till I've taken Emma to creche.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Valentine, tell everybody I'll be back in ten minutes
0:16:39 > 0:16:42for the Carol-a-thon rehearsal.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44OK. You don't do Christmas. It's not your thing.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Yes, it's not for fun.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's because I'm a competitive narcissist who wants to ensure
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Darwin raises the most cash.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Right, let's take you to the sugar mountain. Say bye-bye!
0:16:54 > 0:16:55Bye-bye!
0:16:55 > 0:16:59The new scans show pretty much the same picture as before, really.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Um, but here, it's the...
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Sorry there, er, is the reason for your upper abdominal pain.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11As you can see, there is a bit of stranding around the tail
0:17:11 > 0:17:14of the pancreas, suggesting pancreatitis.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16That will obviously add to the complexity of the surgery.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- The level of risk is...- You're still prepared to operate?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- It's clearly an option, yes... - What's the alternative? Doing nothing?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Well...- Because that's not an option. Which you would know
0:17:25 > 0:17:27if you'd actually listened to a word I've said.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It's my job to weigh up the relative risks.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- It's also your job to listen to your patient.- Yes...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36You haven't changed, Levy. Still dithering around.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Incapable of taking charge and being a man.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40No wonder you never made consultant.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Mr Levy's very happy where he is.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Only because he knows he'd fail.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47A consultant has to be decisive. Tough.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Not someone who needs a nurse to fight his battles for him.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56The anaesthetic would put a strain on your already weakened heart and lungs.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's clear from the overall picture that...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01What?! You wouldn't operate because it might kill me?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02The cancer will kill me if you don't!
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Can you calm down, Mr Featherstone? You're upsetting my other patient.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I'll calm down when lover boy's made up his mind.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I think... Um...
0:18:12 > 0:18:15There's no straightforward decision to be made...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17If I'm to beat this, I need to take risks.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Otherwise I'm done for.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And I need a man with balls to go out on a limb and get the job done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24If that's not you, I'll find someone else.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Without trauma I'd assume dextrocardia.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38But the mediastinum is pushed on the right side along with the heart, so...
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Highly unusual that he'd be alert and conscious after such a significant injury.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Yes, which is why I'm suggesting the patient suffered
0:18:44 > 0:18:47a diaphragmatic hernia on impact, and it's the intestines
0:18:47 > 0:18:50pushing on the lungs that caused the displacement of the heart...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, there's only one way to find out.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55And the winner is...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58..Dr Zosia March!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Get back to med school, Valentine.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02You owe me dinner. An expensive one.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Left pleural drainage should reverse the mediastinal shift in 24 hours.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Good call.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Get her off my ward.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- Jac... Please... I'm not here to cause trouble.- That'll be a first.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I know I messed up, but Christmas is a really bad time for me.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Oh, dear! Here's the sob story.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Please, I just want to talk.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Have you been drinking?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32I'm trying to apologise here. I just... I need you to understand...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Dr March. Escort this woman off the premises.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Why won't anyone listen?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I'll be all right in a minute. I'm sorry.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04It's OK.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Listen, I know what it's like to feel lost.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13This time last year...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18..I was in a really dark place
0:20:18 > 0:20:21and I didn't think I'd find a way out, but I did.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24It's about taking back control.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27That's what I'm trying to do, but no one'll give me a chance.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'm listening.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Jac isn't!
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- JAC:- Dr March!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Let me talk to her.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35You wait here, OK?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48OK, there's nothing on this to cause alarm.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And the allergy test confirmed what we already knew.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53SHE SIGHS
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What am I missing? Come on, Morven.
0:20:56 > 0:21:01"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves!"
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Don't look so worried. I feel much better.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Thanks to you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10But I need to understand why this happened. What was the trigger?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Make the correct diagnosis.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Because this could happen again and I don't want that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18You really do care, don't you? I felt it earlier.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23As a doctor, yes, of course I do.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'm solvent, mortgage free, and when Mother goes,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28there'll be a significant inheritance!
0:21:28 > 0:21:32OK... I-I'm very flattered, but there are strict rules and regulations...
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Don't worry about that. Rules, rules are meant to be broken.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37I said no, Mr James!
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I'll just go and chase those bloods...
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Mum sent them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48They're disgustingly over the top but, hey,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51what do you expect? At least they make you smile.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58You see, the...
0:21:58 > 0:22:00The problem is me.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's not him.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Even though I'm so happy with my life right now...
0:22:07 > 0:22:11..Hugo Featherstone still has the power to make me feel inferior.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Useless.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16I can't even make a clear decision about his treatment.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19You are not useless or inferior.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Exactly!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You're no longer that snivelling little toad
0:22:23 > 0:22:26who he got to clean the toilets with a toothbrush.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Dr Copeland. A word, if I may? Excuse me.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- HE SIGHS - Here we go again.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I heard about your unfortunate burglary and happen to
0:22:38 > 0:22:41recall a former patient with a passion for militaria.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43He might be able to help with regards to
0:22:43 > 0:22:46the loss of Dr Digby's grandfather's medals, I thought.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That would be amazing. Thank you.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Um, sorry to interrupt, Mr H, but the creche manager just called.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Santa hasn't turned up for the Christmas party.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03CAROL SINGERS OUTSIDE THE ROOM
0:23:19 > 0:23:24# Have yourself a merry little Christmas
0:23:25 > 0:23:29# Let your heart be light
0:23:31 > 0:23:39# From now on our troubles will be out of sight. #
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I think we'll give most wards a run for their money
0:23:46 > 0:23:49apart from AAU. Serena Campbell's probably been drilling them since Easter...
0:23:49 > 0:23:50Ms Naylor.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53..and I know for a fact that Sacha Levy can't sing for toffee,
0:23:53 > 0:23:54but he can play the piano.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Fran Reynolds. I thought
0:23:56 > 0:23:58maybe you were a bit hard on her.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02She assaulted me and tried to get me suspended.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I think I was quite restrained.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Yes, well, she did seem genuinely distressed.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Well, it's been dealt with and you have a patient waiting
0:24:08 > 0:24:10for a chest drain and I suggest you get on with it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Now, Dr March! The ward's that way!
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Mr James...
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Look, before you ask,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I haven't worked out what's caused his episode yet, but I will do, OK?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, there's another problem, I'm afraid.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33He's made a complaint.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34About you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Look, I know it's ridiculous but... - What did he say?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Well, he claims that his health was
0:24:39 > 0:24:42put in danger by your inadequate care and,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45er, your inappropriate touching.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I did try and warn you.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51He was the one that crossed the line! Not me!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Well, erm, I'm really, really sorry,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58but I have no choice. I will have to take it to Ms Campbell.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15So...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18..are you transferring me to another doctor
0:25:18 > 0:25:20or have you finally grown some balls, Levy?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23If you mean, have I made a decision about how
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I wish to proceed with your treatment,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26then, yes, I have.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Whipples. It's a risk, of course.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32The surgery is long and arduous,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35and will put inevitable strain on your already weakened system,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38but in my opinion, it's your best option at this time.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41Then let's do it.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Fran?!
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Fran.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27She'll have to listen to me now.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31No real flowers, plants or even lovely little Christmas trees,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33so you'll have to take it off the ward. Sorry.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34PATIENT WHEEZES
0:26:34 > 0:26:36You all right there?
0:26:36 > 0:26:37ALARM RINGS
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Can I get some help over here, please?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41His pulse is 120 and his sats are 88.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Come on.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Erm, OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Can I get 1ml of adrenaline intramuscular injection
0:26:49 > 0:26:51and 100mg of hydrocortisone IV, please?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Not you!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Listen, right now, I'm all you've got.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56PATIENT WHEEZES
0:26:56 > 0:26:57As soon as you can, please.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Tell me that's not who I think it is.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02She collapsed. She's tachycardic, agitated, confused.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04What did you take, Fran?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07From the crash trolley.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Pupils are very dilated. BP's low.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Heart rate's high.- OK. ECG. All the normal bloods plus a tox screen.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14We need to know if she has taken anything else.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Put a rush on the bloods. I want her out of here ASAP.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18You've always hated me.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Dr March was kind.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22She tried to help me.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Did she?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Call me when those results are back.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I have genuinely sick patients to attend to.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I told you to get her off my ward.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32She was upset. I left her in the side room for five minutes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35And you left her there alone,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39where she broke into a crash trolley and stole prescription drugs.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well done, Dr March. You must be very proud of yourself.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Just when I was thinking you were someone I could rely on.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Get it off! Get if off! - I will. Just hang on.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51What on earth is, er...?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I had a near fatal relapse
0:27:53 > 0:27:56and the only person to hand was your incompetent sidekick.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Look, I can explain.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01OK, erm, let's all just calm down, shall we?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04He was improving. His chest X-ray was clear.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06There was no new allergies detected.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09OK. Have you been in contact with anything unusual over
0:28:09 > 0:28:10the past couple of days?
0:28:10 > 0:28:14No, I've been at home, preparing for the festive season.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Mother takes things very seriously.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Right.- This year's a Dickensian theme.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Candles, natural foliage, holly, ivy, mistletoe,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25trees of various sizes.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Trees?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27- Plural?- Yeah.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Seven-footers in the living room and the hall.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Small ones in all the bedrooms.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Erm, a visitor did put a little mini tree over there.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37It was only for five minutes,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39but it was just before his lips turned blue.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Of course!
0:28:40 > 0:28:41What?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Christmas Tree Syndrome!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Moulds that are found naturally on fir trees flourish
0:28:49 > 0:28:52and rapidly multiply inside centrally heated homes.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54How on earth did you know that?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57So, around 70% of these moulds can trigger asthma attacks.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Aspergillus, cladosporium, penicillium, alternaria.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Yeah, bringing trees into the home actually increases
0:29:03 > 0:29:06the number of spores from about 800 per cubic metre to 5,000.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08We'll have do a specific allergy test to confirm,
0:29:08 > 0:29:11but, yeah, I think we might have found the culprit.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Dr Shreve!
0:29:14 > 0:29:16You abused my trust.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I was desperate.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, some people can't be helped. They make the same mistakes
0:29:21 > 0:29:22again and again.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24But an overdose?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26I wasn't trying to kill myself.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28I just want you to take some responsibility.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29For what?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33You're not innocent in all of this and you know it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35You know what I think?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36I think you're jealous
0:29:36 > 0:29:39because I've actually made something of my life
0:29:39 > 0:29:40and you're just a sad person,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42but that's not my fault.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46When that stuff's worn off,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49get her discharged and off my ward.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Or perhaps I should ask Valentine?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54BED ALARM BEEPS
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I don't feel so good.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02There was always a Christmas play at school.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04We did Scrooge one year.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05I was cast as Tiny Tim.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Hard to believe now, but I didn't hit puberty till I was 16.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12During the interval...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15..Hugo stole my crutch,
0:30:15 > 0:30:16threw it in the school pond.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20I had to do the whole of the second half improvising with the cleaner's mop.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I cried with embarrassment for weeks.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Scissors, please.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31You do realise that now you have the perfect opportunity
0:30:31 > 0:30:32to seek revenge.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Just one little slip...
0:30:36 > 0:30:39The past is another country, Dr Copeland,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and this poor guy here deserves nothing but our deepest sympathy.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And it looks like he might just get his wish
0:30:48 > 0:30:51to be in that 5% statistic.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54A man like him will always come out on top,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57no matter how outrageously they behave
0:30:57 > 0:30:58or who they hurt.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Dominic, could you hold that for me a second?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Just there. Just there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23He's tamponading. Alert theatre. He's going to need an emergency pericardiotomy.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27But you said I'd be fine. In 24 hours, I'd be back to normal.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Well, Dr March went beyond her remit there, I'm afraid.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Something she's turning into quite a habit.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Can I wait till my girlfriend gets here? Please.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37If you want to go into cardiac failure and brain death then, yes, be my guest.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Otherwise, I suggest you sign the consent forms now.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Could you get a consent form for me?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48If I can just remove the tumour.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49He could still be receptible.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Mr Levy, the cancer has already invaded the SMA.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- You could provoke a bleed.- Let's just see if I can free it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58It could mean he can eat and drink normally, at least for a time.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Yes, but the cancer has already spread way more than we thought.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02So why didn't I see this on the pre-op scan?
0:32:02 > 0:32:05He wants to fight this and a man like Hugo, love him or loathe him,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07he never gives in.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Absolutely.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10But now it's your call.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Then it's time to stop.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Right. Let's close him up.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Morven? You OK?
0:32:41 > 0:32:42No.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I'm not OK.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Because I'm crap with patients and diagnoses.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51Then you swan in and, bam, job done.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Please don't tell Ms Campbell yet. Not just yet. I can't take it.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Right, a little bit too late, I'm afraid.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I wouldn't have thought Mr James was your type, Morven.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02He isn't. I mean, it really wasn't like that.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Oh, don't worry about it.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Once I've done with these consultant interviews,
0:33:05 > 0:33:07I'm sure I'll be able to talk him round.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- PAGER BLEEPS - Ah, that's the last candidate now.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Erm, just to be clear,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Mr James, he really can't complain about his treatment
0:33:12 > 0:33:16cos Dr Shreve, after eliminating some far more obvious triggers,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18actually successfully diagnosed a rather unusual case
0:33:18 > 0:33:20of Christmas Tree Syndrome.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23How suitably seasonal of you! Well done.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24Excellent detective work.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Did you really need me for this?
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Why did you do that?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Well, I just wanted to, erm...
0:33:32 > 0:33:33What? To make me look better?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Am I really such a saddo, now, that I need to take
0:33:35 > 0:33:38credit for something I didn't even do?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40No. No, no, of course not but...
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Look, I need to impress in my own right or not at all!
0:34:06 > 0:34:07I told you I'd make it, Levy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Did you get the bastard?
0:34:11 > 0:34:12All of it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16We had to stop, I'm afraid.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18But I explicitly said...
0:34:18 > 0:34:22The cancer had spread and is inoperable.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I can offer you no further surgery.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30I'm so sorry.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Typical of you, Levy.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Give up at the first hurdle.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I'll get a second opinion.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- I want this gone. - You'd be wasting your time.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- I'm not giving up now.- Chemotherapy may buy you a little more time but...
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I'll sign up for a trial. I don't care about the risks.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Hugo, listen to me.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I know you don't want to hear this...
0:34:54 > 0:34:55..but you're dying.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00And there is nothing that I nor anyone else can do about that,
0:35:00 > 0:35:02except help you die well.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07And part of that process
0:35:07 > 0:35:08is acceptance.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13The time for fighting is over.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23HE SOBS
0:35:48 > 0:35:50The allergy test proved positive.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53So, just synthetic trees from now on.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- And in light of Dr Shreve's life-saving actions...- No.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I'm not withdrawing my complaint.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Mr James,
0:36:01 > 0:36:03I think you might have the wrong end of the stick.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Someone needs to teach her a lesson.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Girl's a liability.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Actually,
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Dr Shreve is one of the most talented
0:36:09 > 0:36:12and hard working juniors in this hospital.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Possibly in the entire country.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Christmas Tree Syndrome is an extremely rare condition
0:36:18 > 0:36:21and whilst I may have come up with the final diagnosis,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24that was purely based on the breadth
0:36:24 > 0:36:28and quality of my colleague's brilliant clinical investigation.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Rare?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31HE CHUCKLES
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Mother always said I was unusual.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Yes, well, I think we can all agree on that.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Sorry about that.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51Crying like a baby.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56There's no shame in it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02My team at the Huntley didn't have your courage.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Just kept offering me false hope.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07I was just doing my job.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11You're a bigger man than you realise, Levy.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14You always were.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20So what if you don't fit the cliched image of the driven,
0:37:20 > 0:37:21arrogant consultant?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24You have something far more valuable to offer.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Your kindness.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Your generosity.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Your humility.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34It's high time you started to believe in yourself.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Hugo, will you excuse me, please?
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Sacha?
0:37:52 > 0:37:53I've got an interview to get to.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57LIFT: Doors closing.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Thank you so much, Mrs Mills.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01We'll be in touch.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Mrs Campbell?
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Am I too late?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Ah, is Mr Maxwell ready for theatre?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Yes, he's with the anaesthetist now.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- But, um...- What?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Fran Reynolds - I can't find her anywhere.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22That's not my problem. Get a nurse on to it.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31The children of the hospital were let down.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32So...
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I stepped into the breach.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Or britches, to be more precise.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Well, I'm sure Emma appreciated it.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40She was looking forward to meeting the real Father Christmas.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Even if he doesn't quite look like the one she was expecting.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Well, Emma wasn't there.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Of course she was. I dropped her there myself.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48No, no, they said she'd already been collected,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51which is why I'm here to give you her present.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Yes, this is Emma Naylor's mother. Where the hell is she?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Picked up by who?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02No, I gave no such authority!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04What did she look like?
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Mr Hanssen here. Security, please.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07A child has been taken.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Did she say where she was going?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14We have to find her!
0:39:21 > 0:39:23That's it!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26We're going on a little adventure!
0:39:26 > 0:39:29We're going to see Father Christmas.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Yay!
0:39:31 > 0:39:33You'd like that, wouldn't you?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36The last time I was in this room...
0:39:37 > 0:39:38..I lost my rag.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Partly because, deep down,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I didn't think I deserved to be here.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49But, now...I believe I do.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Why don't you tell us a bit about the case-based research you intend to publish?
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Male. 50.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Stage 2A pancreatic cancer.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Following a detailed evaluation of his history,
0:40:03 > 0:40:06I decided to try and remove the tumour laparoscopically.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11However, during surgery, it soon became clear the cancer had spread.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Following a frank review,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17the patient decided to seek no further treatment.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Right, er, thank you, Mr Levy.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29But it might be helpful if you could present a more...complex case.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34One that illustrates your singular skills and helps us mark you out
0:40:34 > 0:40:35from the other candidates.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38I just did.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41You see, you're right.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44There was no miraculous outcome.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46But I helped a proud man come to terms with the fact
0:40:46 > 0:40:47that I could do no more for him.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51A fact that he'd found it very, very hard to accept.
0:40:51 > 0:40:52So now he can die well.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55At home.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56With dignity.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Safe in the knowledge that we all did our very best.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04And, to me, that's success.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07If that's too everyday for you to consider me worthy, then...
0:41:07 > 0:41:09so be it.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11But that is the kind of doctor I am.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14And always will be.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Thank you for your time.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37It's hers.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43..if we can find Father Christmas?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- SHE GASPS - Whoa!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Can you see the star?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49It's so beautiful.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52CAROLLERS START TO SING
0:41:54 > 0:41:56We're going to have a Christmas tree.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- I'll call security. - I'm not waiting for anyone.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Ah, ah, ah!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Got your attention now, haven't I?
0:42:06 > 0:42:07Let her go.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- If you don't give her to me... - Listen.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13I know you're angry.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16And you think that no-one is listening to you, but we are.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18I promise.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19She's not.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Let her go. You're scaring her.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Please?
0:42:31 > 0:42:32There we go.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Good girl, good girl.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- I'll stay. - No, not you. Her.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Oh, no, that's right! Walk away!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Pretend nothing's happening.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Just like you did at Bartholomew's!
0:42:52 > 0:42:53Zosia, take her inside.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57Go on, take the teddy, good girl.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02BACKGROUND CAROL SINGING
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Oh, Mr Levy? Have you got a minute?
0:43:07 > 0:43:08Yes.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11I'm going to put some dosh behind the bar at Albie's this evening
0:43:11 > 0:43:12for a bit of a Christmas tipple.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I wondered if you, oh, and Essie, would like to join me?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Well, that's, that's very decent of you...
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- In fact, I feel I should be buying you a drink.- Why?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Well, you were kind enough to give me another shot...
0:43:24 > 0:43:27I mean, I know I went majorly off-piste again...
0:43:27 > 0:43:30but I really can't be the kind of doctor that you all want me to be...
0:43:30 > 0:43:34- I-I just can't...- Erm, hmm. Right, right. Erm...
0:43:34 > 0:43:38Well, I'm really not supposed to tell you this, but...
0:43:38 > 0:43:40the decision was unanimous.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46Welcome to the club, Mr Levy.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47SHE LAUGHS
0:43:53 > 0:43:54My real name's Dawn.
0:43:56 > 0:43:57Dawn Duncan.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59Always hated it.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01Jacqueline.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Jacqui...
0:44:04 > 0:44:05So glamorous.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Like some '70s film star.
0:44:10 > 0:44:15I was just plain. A proper frizzhead. Blue NHS glasses. You couldn't miss me.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17Hmm?
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Maybe you don't want to remember.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27Christmas 1990.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32Nobody wanted me, so I ended up in St Bart's Children's Home.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36I remember when I walked in and saw you,
0:44:36 > 0:44:38sitting apart from all the others.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42I thought you were really pretty.
0:44:43 > 0:44:44I came over and said hello.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48You never even looked up.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Is there a point to this?
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Christmas Eve was the first time.
0:44:55 > 0:44:56He said he had a present for me.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00That man ruined my life.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03What man?
0:45:03 > 0:45:04Yates.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Mr Yates.
0:45:07 > 0:45:08We had to call him Uncle.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I was in my room.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17You watched him coming for me across the hall.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22I remember your eyes staring.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27I thought you were going to say something,
0:45:27 > 0:45:28help me.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31But as he closed the door...
0:45:32 > 0:45:35..you turned away like nothing was happening.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39Happy freaking Christmas.
0:45:39 > 0:45:40So, you came looking for me?
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Give me some credit. I'm not a complete psycho.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46- Then what are you doing here? - I'm a gypsy.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Always travelling from place to place.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50It was bound to happen sooner or later.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52He died, by the way, Yates.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53Massive stroke.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Never had to answer for what he did!
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- Where's the justice in that, eh? - Be careful, Fran. You'll fall.- Why?
0:46:00 > 0:46:03- Nobody cares.- That's not true.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05You never did!
0:46:05 > 0:46:10All this time, I've been struggling to get my life back together
0:46:10 > 0:46:14because of him, because of you!
0:46:14 > 0:46:17And you don't even bloody remember!
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Because it's easier that way.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25Erm, Mr James has withdrawn his complaint, by the way.
0:46:27 > 0:46:28Yeah, thought you'd be pleased.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31Yeah, I am...just...
0:46:34 > 0:46:37All that Romeo and Juliet stuff, I was just having a laugh.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47I'll, er...I'll see you in the bar.
0:46:47 > 0:46:48That's a bit...too small.
0:46:49 > 0:46:50Sorry.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53I was one of the few girls he avoided.
0:46:54 > 0:46:57Knew how to shut people out even then.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00I'm not proud of it,
0:47:00 > 0:47:02but it was the only way to survive.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07You've done more than that.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09You've made something of your life.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I'm 40. With nothing.
0:47:15 > 0:47:17There's only so many ways you can reinvent yourself.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Oh, my God! Look.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22SHE CRIES
0:47:28 > 0:47:29Can't you see them?
0:47:30 > 0:47:32What?
0:47:32 > 0:47:33Christmas angels.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37They're not real, Fran.
0:47:37 > 0:47:40It's the drugs you took. They can make you hallucinate, you know that...
0:47:40 > 0:47:41No...
0:47:42 > 0:47:45They're saying I'll be all right if I go with them.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Fran...
0:47:49 > 0:47:51You don't care about me.
0:47:52 > 0:47:53They do.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03If you step over that edge, then he's won.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Yates is to blame, not me, not you. We were just children.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Take my hand, I won't turn away this time.
0:48:15 > 0:48:16I promise.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22CHOIR SINGS DING DONG MERRILY ON HIGH
0:48:34 > 0:48:36FRAN SCREAMS
0:48:46 > 0:48:48DOOR CRASHES OPEN
0:48:48 > 0:48:49Jac? What the hell happened?
0:48:49 > 0:48:54She fell two storeys. Suspected head injury, major abdominal trauma. She's tachycardic. BP's falling.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Dr March, I want you in on this.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Good breath sounds bilaterally.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Sats 98. Heart rate 120.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02BP 80/60. Thank you.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06C chest, spine and pelvis X-ray and abdominal ultrasound now, please.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Pupils are blown. She needs a head CT scan right now or we'll lose her.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Jac, you don't have to be involved in this.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13- Mr Self and I can handle this. - No. I'm not leaving her.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Wash.
0:49:16 > 0:49:17Suction.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22- Come on, Fran. - Where's it coming from?
0:49:22 > 0:49:24Very hard to tell. More light, please.
0:49:26 > 0:49:27Thank you.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Right, the spleen is ruptured. We'll have to remove it. Clip, please.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33Can she survive this?
0:49:34 > 0:49:38Not many people would, but she's a very determined woman, tougher than most.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39She's had to be.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44MUSIC: White Christmas by Ella Fitzgerald
0:49:44 > 0:49:48# With every Christmas card I write... #
0:49:48 > 0:49:49- Hey.- Hey!
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Merry Christmas.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55Look, I know they're not exactly the same,
0:49:55 > 0:49:58but it's the same campaign, it's the same regiment.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01I just, I didn't know what else to do to try and show you
0:50:01 > 0:50:03how truly, truly sorry I am...
0:50:03 > 0:50:06- How on earth did you...? - Just call it a Christmas miracle.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09But look, I've got to get back to work but...
0:50:11 > 0:50:13Are we, are we OK?
0:50:13 > 0:50:15Er...yes, we're OK.
0:50:15 > 0:50:16We'll always be OK.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20See you later.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28- I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to...- I'm so sorry...
0:50:28 > 0:50:32- No, no, no, I didn't mean to patronise you.- I just felt like such an idiot.- No, no, it was...- Aw...
0:50:32 > 0:50:35My lovely little AAU family.
0:50:35 > 0:50:39We are waifs and strays, one and all...
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Ooh, how marvellous.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42THEY LAUGH
0:50:42 > 0:50:46Do you want to go somewhere quieter, like maybe for a drink,
0:50:46 > 0:50:49- or curry or something? You know. My shout.- Oh...
0:50:49 > 0:50:51It's the least I can do...
0:50:51 > 0:50:56- Yeah, no, I'd love to but I've got the Napoleon Collector's Society dinner.- Oh, right.
0:50:56 > 0:51:02- I booked the ticket months ago, otherwise I'd...- No, no...you must...go.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Another time, maybe?
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- Yeah.- OK.- Sure.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Great. Well, erm...
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- Oh. - MORVEN LAUGHS
0:51:21 > 0:51:23- See you tomorrow, then.- Yeah.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27THEY LAUGH
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Yeah, sorry, hi.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37She's bloody lucky she didn't kill herself, or anyone else for that matter. The woman's dangerous.
0:51:37 > 0:51:38It's complicated.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43She assaulted you, she kidnapped your child.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45- Nothing complicated about that. - There was no harm done.
0:51:45 > 0:51:46Which is a miracle.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48You know the police are waiting to speak to you?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50I'm not pressing charges.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52You can't be serious?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55She's damaged. She needs help, not punishment.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Jac, what happened up there?
0:51:57 > 0:51:59It's private.
0:51:59 > 0:52:01We're colleagues, and she's our patient.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05And it seems clear to me Ms Naylor has said all she wants to say on the matter.
0:52:09 > 0:52:10Dr March.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14I want to thank you for what you did up there.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17I have a habit of going in all guns blazing,
0:52:17 > 0:52:19and if you hadn't stepped in...
0:52:19 > 0:52:20Well, I'm just glad it worked out.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26I see a lot of myself in you, and that's not necessarily a compliment,
0:52:26 > 0:52:29but it might mean you'll make an exceptional doctor.
0:52:37 > 0:52:38- Hey.- Hey.
0:52:40 > 0:52:41How's Fran?
0:52:41 > 0:52:45Ah, well, they wouldn't let me in to see her, but, yeah, I think she'll be OK.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47It's going to be a long haul, but it could've been a lot worse.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Makes me feel very lucky to be where I am with you now.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59This time last Christmas I was in Germany, thinking we were over.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Now here we are sipping champagne,
0:53:02 > 0:53:04and celebrating you becoming a consultant.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07- Congratulations.- Thank you very much.
0:53:07 > 0:53:08GLASSES CLINK
0:53:09 > 0:53:13Yes, and we're trying for a family of our own.
0:53:13 > 0:53:14Yes, I couldn't be happier.
0:53:22 > 0:53:23Which is why...
0:53:25 > 0:53:26Sasha...
0:53:27 > 0:53:28What is it?
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Estelle Eva Harrison.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Will you make me, Sacha Jacob Levy,
0:53:51 > 0:53:54the happiest man in the world by agreeing to be my wife?
0:53:56 > 0:54:00THEY LAUGH
0:54:01 > 0:54:03Is that a yes?
0:54:03 > 0:54:05ESTELLE LAUGHS Of course it's a yes!
0:54:05 > 0:54:07- MORVEN:- Did she say yes? - Yes, she said yes!
0:54:07 > 0:54:09THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:54:13 > 0:54:15THEY LAUGH
0:54:15 > 0:54:19OK, I'll get you a real one, I promise you I'll get you a real one, I just...
0:54:19 > 0:54:21I...I didn't really feel worthy until today.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23This one's perfect.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26THEY CHEER
0:54:26 > 0:54:29Will someone help me up? I'm an old man, I can't do this any more!
0:54:29 > 0:54:30Up you get.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Congratulations! Well done.
0:54:45 > 0:54:46How are you doing?
0:54:48 > 0:54:50I'm still here.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53You're stronger than you think.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55People like us have to be.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Even though Yates never got to me,
0:55:01 > 0:55:03I knew that he might one day.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08So, I resolved never to let anyone make me feel that powerless.
0:55:11 > 0:55:12I'll never let him win.
0:55:16 > 0:55:17Neither will I...
0:55:28 > 0:55:29Police found this in your car.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31I thought you might need it.
0:55:31 > 0:55:32Chloe is waiting outside.
0:55:32 > 0:55:33I don't know...
0:55:34 > 0:55:37I mean, what's she going to think? Look at the state of me.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42- I must've been stupid thinking she'd ever want to marry me.- Look...
0:55:43 > 0:55:45If she really is...the one,
0:55:48 > 0:55:50..she'll just be happy that...she didn't lose you.
0:55:52 > 0:55:56The elaborate proposal, the pyrotechnics, that's just the icing on the cake.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59If she's going to turn you down because you're a bit bashed up
0:55:59 > 0:56:02and you need her support for a bit, well, that's not love in my book.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04You might as well know that now.
0:56:05 > 0:56:06THEY LAUGH
0:56:08 > 0:56:10So, shall I, erm, show her in?
0:56:12 > 0:56:13Yep.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Jamie! Oh, my God!
0:56:22 > 0:56:25- Oh! - SHE CRIES
0:56:27 > 0:56:29SHE LAUGHS AND CRIES
0:56:32 > 0:56:34Who knew you were such a romantic, Mr Valentine?
0:56:35 > 0:56:37Maybe Christmas is getting to you after all.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40Yes, well, it rather passed me by last year
0:56:40 > 0:56:44as I languished in my, er...my pit of hopeless despair.
0:56:44 > 0:56:45JAC LAUGHS
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Yes, and I ran amok through the hospital, declaiming my mother was alive and well
0:56:48 > 0:56:51in the guise of a homeless, geriatric stranger.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54Yeah, seemed perfectly plausible to me.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56Yes, well look at us now. I'm healed, and you're...
0:56:57 > 0:56:58..perfectly sane.
0:56:58 > 0:56:59THEY LAUGH
0:56:59 > 0:57:01Well, I wouldn't say that, but...
0:57:01 > 0:57:03we're making progress.
0:57:03 > 0:57:04Yeah.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Looks like he took your advice.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Yes! Yes! Of course! Of course!
0:57:11 > 0:57:13Oh, wow!
0:57:14 > 0:57:1742% chance it'll end in divorce, but good luck to them.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Wow. Cynical to the end.
0:57:19 > 0:57:20Just stating the facts.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24I'm sorry, so all that stuff you were saying earlier about finding the one,
0:57:24 > 0:57:27this "love in your book", were you just saying all that
0:57:27 > 0:57:29- to make him feel better?- No.
0:57:30 > 0:57:31I meant every word.
0:57:52 > 0:57:54SHE SIGHS
0:57:56 > 0:57:58Still looking after Professor Hope's dog, I see.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01AKA the Mutt From Hell. Escaped from the dog minder again today.
0:58:01 > 0:58:02Naughty.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05CHOIR SINGS SILENT NIGHT
0:58:05 > 0:58:07So, it'll be just the three of you for Christmas, will it?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09And Emma's dad.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11You're welcome to join us if you're not doing anything.
0:58:13 > 0:58:14Thank you.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19No, I think Christmas is for families, don't you?
0:58:23 > 0:58:24Cherish it while you can.
