0:00:03 > 0:00:04- IN ENGLISH:- Tree.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09There's a bird in the tree.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14HE CHUCKLES What?!
0:00:14 > 0:00:19- Nothing. You're doing great. - You're taking the (piss).
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I swear to God...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26You know, seriously, I appreciate it, but there's no need.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29There's every need. It's your work, Rob, your world,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and I want to be part of it.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34And if I call into the office,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37I want to be sure they're not talking about me behind my back.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39- Or straight to my face. - They wouldn't.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40They absolutely would.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42First day I was in there,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44they were gossiping about me like a bunch of old women.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51Repeat -
0:00:56 > 0:00:58What?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00We're very lucky.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06No, Rebecca, no...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57You going somewhere?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Oh...
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Hi.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Yeah...work.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Bit too much wine.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09HE CHUCKLES
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Did...?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Anything happen?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15No.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Lots of amazing sex, but nothing much happened after that.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You were out like a light.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- LAUGHING:- No, I'm only joking.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28There was some very serious spooning, though.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29But that was about it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- But, I mean, if you'd like to... - No!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36No, I mean...not now.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Seriously, I have to go to work.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Give me a call later if you want to do something.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Who's the lucky man?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40On it.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Hi...Peggy?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Alix, from the paper? - Yes, of course. Sorry.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Harry, will you let me know how much?- Ach, on the house, love.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Thanks, Harry, you're a sweetie. OK if I just...?- Don't mind me.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Harry has a heart of gold.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35People have been very good to us.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Especially in the new neighbourhood.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46We've only been here six months but they've rallied round.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Rob, my editor, mentioned you're a single parent?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- That can't be easy, managing by yourself.- Aye, well, no.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56He's not around, but, then again, he never was.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58No, just the two of us.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01But I wouldn't have it any other way, would I, darling?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Ach, he has a lovely smile. - He is a wee smiler.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09But you're lucky you got him on a good day.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12With the chemo he gets these mouth ulcers. They're just agony for him.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16And his hair. He used to have the most beautiful blonde...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I don't know where he got it from.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20From his dad's side, maybe. Not that I know them.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Wee love, isn't he?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39(Back in a sec.)
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Gerry, is it?- Yeah, hiya. - How's it going?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Break your heart. - You should try going in there.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47They'd tear you to shreds.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Come on, I'll give you the grand tour.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54So, can I ask, how much does Chrissy actually know?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58He knows he's sick, but then he gets up the next day
0:08:58 > 0:09:02and feels better and forgets all about what happened yesterday.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06For a long time, we thought it was gone...and then it comes back,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08and it just hits you harder.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12And what about you? How do you cope with it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- It must break your heart, seeing him so sick.- No, not now.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's such a treat having him.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And I know he'll pull through.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Peggy McAteer and Chrissy? Christopher?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29The name doesn't ring a bell.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Funny, it's the faces you remember, especially the cheeky ones.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Where were we? Oh, yeah. 130 beds, facilities for one parent to stay.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40And these are all cancer?
0:09:40 > 0:09:42No, it's not quite as simple as that.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45We combine oncology - which deals with cancer - with haematology.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Mostly, our patients are on a combination of chemotherapy drugs
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and they work by attacking the cancer cells,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but they also damage the healthy ones.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57The good news is the healthy ones grow back, the cancer cells can't.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17WOLF WHISTLES
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Yeah, right(!)
0:10:51 > 0:10:53PHONE RINGS
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Yep?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Courtesy call? Courtesy call from the bank is never a good thing.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05How much?!
0:11:05 > 0:11:06No, that's not possible.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I... I... Well...
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Ta-dah!
0:11:23 > 0:11:27All work and no play...makes Rob a very dull boy.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32I'm sorry, I just got...caught up in...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36I was going to take you out to dinner. Some nice steak maybe.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Right.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Can we afford it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Rebecca...
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Jewellery... The Shopping Channel...
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Oh, Rob, when did you turn into such a cheapskate?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You can't tell what it's like on the telly, so you order it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Then you get to wear it for 30 days,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58then you return it and get a full refund.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It doesn't cost anything.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I'm...saving you money, not spending it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Oh, well, then, thanks(!)
0:12:06 > 0:12:10You're welcome. Now, come on. I'm starving.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Come on.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yeah, I know what you mean.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Here, can I call you later?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Right, OK. Bye.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Oh, I should've called first.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07I just wanted to drop your photos back
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and maybe ask you a few questions for the follow-up piece?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Ah, not a bit of it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- So, how is he?- I just put him down for a sleep. He gets so tired.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21You know, whenever you print something, sure as God,
0:14:21 > 0:14:23you'll get someone who thinks they know better.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- So, we've had a wee query. - Everyone's an expert these days.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Aren't they just!
0:14:30 > 0:14:35So...they were looking at the photos and wondering,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37if you only lose your hair while you're having chemo
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and then it grows back...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42how come Chrissy's hasn't?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46God, some people are so mean-spirited, aren't they?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48You've heard of alopecia, I take it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Alopecia? Yeah.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54His hair was supposed to grow back, but he got this, um...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57what do you call it, autoimmune disorder.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Because the chemo screwed up his healthy cells
0:14:59 > 0:15:01as well as the bad ones.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Alopecia! What a relief.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06A relief? Why? Did you...?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Oh, no...
0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's just...
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's nice to be able to stand behind what you wrote.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20RADIO:
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Excuse me? - Hi. Sorry, we're just closing.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I was just looking for Gerry, the young fella.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37I can't remember his second name.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Oh, Gerry's not here just now. We're doing a fun run for charity.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- This is the one for Chrissy?- Yeah.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And, if you don't mind, I'm actually running a wee bit late.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45That's what I wanted to talk to him about.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- If you want to make a donation, you can do it online.- No. It's not that.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- It's about the boy.- What about him?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09HE LAUGHS
0:16:23 > 0:16:24- Rebecca.- Hi.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Where are they? We told them to meet us, 12 o'clock start.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- You don't seem to have many readers. - That's not the point.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It's for a good cause.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37There you go, wee man.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Coming!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Oh, hi.- Hi.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Sorry, we're running late. - That's OK.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- I was hoping to have a quick word. Can I come in?- Yeah, course.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13So, we had a visitor today.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18A sister from the local children's hospital.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24She was very moved by your story, but also curious
0:17:24 > 0:17:26because she hasn't heard of Chrissy before
0:17:26 > 0:17:28and all the local cases go through there.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Oh, well, no, she wouldn't have.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I told you, we're only back here six months. We were in London.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- That's where Chrissy... - She checked with London.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Chrissy was successfully treated there two years ago
0:17:39 > 0:17:41and nothing since.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Peggy, she checked with all the children's hospitals in the UK, because they're all connected.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Ah, but you know what hospitals are like.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50They're always misfiling stuff.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You see, the thing is...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56..they're actually very good.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58There's no record of Chrissy having
0:17:58 > 0:18:01so much as a check-up in the last two years.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Well, do you know why that is?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Because the hospitals were making him sicker instead of better.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08So what if I didn't bring him back in again?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Anyone can tell how sick he is.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Peggy, they can only go by what you tell them.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16How sick is he?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Is he sick at all? - You don't care about my boy.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21You only care about your story,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24about getting your name in the front of the paper.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Well, do you know something?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27You can stick your fun run, because we don't need it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30We've plenty of people who do care about us, not...leeches.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Peggy, if you are up to something, it will come out.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Just get out of my house! - Peggy, don't make this any worse.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Get out!
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Just a sec.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Hey!
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Right, lads...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Rob?- Oh, they can't make it, love.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Hi! Some of you have met Pete.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Pete, this is everybody.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Hi.- Hey, Pete.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Look at you. You'll put the rest of us to shame.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I don't know about that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08That's a pity about Chrissy.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I wonder, should I go round and see if they're OK?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14No, that's probably not a good idea right now.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Rebecca, are you not running? - Oh, no.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I leave that to the professionals.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Oh, no, Patrick, you're part of this team. It's only fair.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Can't be that hard.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Two, three...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51On your marks...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53get set...
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Go!
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Go on, Rob!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Just find a pace you're comfortable at. That's it. Nice and steady.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The mistake most people make is...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11He's going to tire out long before...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14You do not want to get beaten by an old man.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15It's supposed to be a fun run!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I know, but he's twice your age and half as fit. You're still losing.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Come on, Rob!
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Shh!
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Come on, Pete!
0:23:24 > 0:23:25He's not doing too badly.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30- Uh-oh.- What's he doing? Rob!
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Run, rob! What... What are you doing?!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Oh, for...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Are you OK?- It's my ankle.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05It was an accident. It was just one of those things.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It's starting to swell already.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09We are insured, aren't we?
0:24:11 > 0:24:12You OK, honey?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. - What was all that about?
