" Oh!" " Oh." "I didn't think you were here." "I did ring the bell but there..." " I was in the shower." " Yes, I see that now." "Mm." "Where's James?" "He's asleep." "Right." "Gosh." "You're up early." " Mm. 5:30." " Oh." "Is everything OK with the new house?" "It's satisfactory." "Hm." "Should I not be here?" "What?" "No." "It's fine." "It's your house." "Of course you should be here." "I should probably mention this to Dr Timoney when I see her later." "How you were so desperate to see me, you broke into the house while I was showering." "I didn't break in." "I've got a key." "I wasn't being serious." "I was..." " You were making a joke." " I was making a joke." "Janice is going to be here soon." "I've got things to sort out for school starting tomorrow, so I really need to get going." "Come on, Bert." "You have to let me in some time." "I'm busy." "I got bills to open." "Look, you know how it works." "If you don't consent to discussing your debt with us properly, we can have your restaurant repossessed." "Bert!" "About time, Bert." "Now, about this debt." "Take it." " I'm sorry?" " Take it all." "I'm done." "Would've been much more convenient if you'd come out to the farm to see us." "I only make house calls for emergencies." "Took us two buses to get here." "His truck packed it in the other week." " What's the problem?" " The axle." "I beg your pardon." "We've had some difficult farrowings with the pigs, not had a chance to take it to the garage." "What's the problem with you?" "He's been throwing up a bit." "Shivering." " Headaches." "Show him your leg." " Oh, it's nothing." "Onto the examination table." "Quickly." "Which leg?" " How long have you had the symptoms?" " About a week." "Erysipelas." "It's a bacterial skin infection." "Don't like the sound of that." "Just you watch." "It'll be all tests this and tests that and hospital visits and any number of things that'll bugger up my year." "No, it won't." "I'll prescribe a course of antibiotics." "Your skin might take a few weeks to get better." " Oh." " Take some time off work." "Keep your leg raised to reduce the swelling and drink plenty of water." "This is a crucial period for us, Doc." "Fascinating." "Next patient!" "Testing, testing, one, two, three." "Testing." "One, two, three." "Melanie?" "Alice!" "Oh, Dermot." "How are you?" "He's got Erysipelas." "Oh." "Is that bad?" "It's a waste of time." "So how's my god daughter?" " The same as ever." " Meant to be looking after the pigs." "Probably forgotten." "Oh, well, every young girl's dream, eh?" "Tell Ellie I said hello." "It would be nice to see her." " Next patient!" " Oh, that's my cue." "So we'll catch up soon, yeah?" " Next patient!" " Yes, coming." " Thank you." " Shut the door." "Take a seat." "What seems to be the problem?" "Bad diet." "Fast food, fried food, microwave food." "I beg your pardon?" "How do we get people to eat healthier, Doc?" "That's the question we've asked ourselves." "We've come up with Healthy Eating Week ... seven days to change your life." "What are you talking about?" "Radio Portwenn." "I'm the DJ there." "Oh." "I thought that Caroline woman did that." "Yeah... sectioned." "What?" "Whole family testified, apparently." "So when can you come on?" "Do you have a medical problem?" "No." "Then why are you in my surgery?" "You're short and sharp, you get the point across, exactly what we need." "Now you're wasting my time." " Well, perhaps we could do a few pre-recorded bits." " No." " I can make another appointment." " No." " How about a quick sound bite, then?" " No." "Germaine Mann." "You're almost a health professional." "You wouldn't make an appearance?" "I think that's more than my job's worth." "I tell you who would be good, though?" "Al Large." "Runs these new fishing holidays." "Al?" "I'm trying to revitalise the station, not bury it." "Besides, it's fresh fish." "That is like the healthiest thing you can eat." "Proof of Portwenn turning its back on butties and burgers." "Yeah, I like that." "Yeah, I'll use that." "It's not like I've got anything else." "Hello." "I'm here to see the doctor." " Mrs Ellingham?" " Yes." "So is the doctor here?" "She is." "I am." " Oh." " Come in." "Martin finds it very difficult to express his feelings." "I mean, I know he loves me." "At least, I'm fairly sure he does." "Anyhow, it's no wonder he's a bit emotionally repressed." "Well, you should meet his parents." "Well, his dad's dead, so you can't." "But his mum's very cold." "And she's... not dead." "Interesting." "And what about you?" "What about your parents?" "Fine." "Yeah." "Normal as you like." "I mean, there's... yeah, there's... there's history." "Yeah, there's always history." "Mum left home when I was 12, but I didn't really need a mother by then, so..." "I see." "And your father?" "It's not really relevant." "We're here to talk about Martin." "Did you not get on well with your father?" "No, we get on fine." "I suppose Martin probably told you about the ..." "Told me what?" "Um... well, my father spent some time in prison when I was a child." "Sorry, I'm really not seeing what any of this has got to do with Martin's problems." "Is that how you view the state of your marriage?" "As Martin's problem?" "Well, I wouldn't say that, exactly." "So how do you view it?" "Well, it's a bit of a mess, really." "Sorry, I have to ask ... but how old are you?" "I'm 32." "Hm." "I think what would work best would be if you and Martin got together and discussed a time when it would be suitable to see both of you together." "Are you talking about some kind of couples therapy?" "Yes." "No." "I'm really not sure that's ..." "I understand." "It's helpful to keep an open mind." "Both parties should always be open to the idea that they may, in some way, be responsible for what's happened." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "We don't have this in stock right now." "But luckily the supplier is doing a delivery tomorrow, so I'll get on the phone and order it up." "That's not lucky." "We're going to lose another day travelling back and forth." "You haven't checked out the back." "Never know." "Might be out there." "So I checked the back." "It's out of stock." "Like I said, I'll phone the suppliers." "Oh, hello again!" "Don't worry, I'm not stalking you." "I'm not going to turn up in the middle of the night, foot of your bed ..." "Grr!" "Right, uh..." "I'll just get this, then, please." "She could pick it up, bring it to the farm, couldn't you?" "Yeah, not quite sure what it is, but..." "Dermot's prescription." "You wanted to see Ellie." "Well, I could come before work." "Will you be paying the delivery charge with cash or credit card?" "Let's go." "Tomorrow, then." "Yeah, yeah." "See you tomorrow." "Bye, then!" "Bye." "Seeing as we're asking favours, how would you like to be on the radio, talking about Healthy Eating Week?" "You should ask the doc." "Unfortunately, he declined." "Unfortunately, I must decline too." "We medical professionals stick together. ?" "2.60, please." " Got that?" " Yeah." "Jolly good." "Evening, Bert." "You off somewhere?" "What?" "The suitcase." "One of my favourite patients used to carry his wife around in one just like that." "Well, parts of her, at least." "I'm going on holiday." "Anywhere nice?" "I don't know." "You don't know if it's nice or you don't know where you're going?" "Both of them." "Hello." "Hello." "Um... come in." "I can't stop, because I've left James with Janice." "Oh." "Did you know Dr Timoney wanted us to do couples therapy?" "She had mentioned that it as an option, yes." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I didn't realise it was an issue." "Well, don't you think it's a bit early for that?" "I think that Dr Timoney ..." "Has she addressed your blood phobia yet?" " We've discussed it ..." " What about your OCD?" " I don't ..." " What about your having to eat fish all the time?" "What?" "All I'm saying is, don't you think she should sort out some of your problems first?" " She's trying to." " Good." "Why don't you do that and maybe then we can talk about the couples therapy." "Enjoy your fish." "Oh, you're a messy little pup, aren't you?" " Yes." " Sorry I'm late." " Yeah and you've made me late too and it's my first day back at school." " It's not my fault." "The alarm didn't go off." " Really (!" ")" " OK, maybe it went off and then maybe I turned it off and kind of went back to sleep, but the point is, I'm here now." "This doesn't bode very well." "You realise you're on trial?" "To be fair, it's the first time I've been late." "It's only your fourth day, Janice." "Do you know where everything is and what to do?" "Call me if there are any problems, OK?" "OK?" "Bye, darling." "Leave me alone." "Go on, get back down." "Get back down." "Just on my way to work." "Um... well, you're going to be late, aren't you?" "Yes, well have a good day then." "Yes." "You too." "Oh." "Janice is with James, and she's..." "just keep an eye on her, will you?" "Oh, go away!" "Idiot dog." "Ruth." "How are you feeling?" "Oh, I'm fine, thanks." "I'm fine." "I just wondered how things were going." "Ah... not too busy." "That's what's concerning me." "How many guests have we got booked for this month?" "Well, it takes time to build up a business, a brand name to get ourselves out there." "So that's none, then." "Yeah, but I've seen enough of dad's businesses go under to know the wrong way of doing things." "And I promise you, Ruth, I'm going to turn this situation around." "Oh, by the way, how is your father?" "I saw him yesterday evening, acting very oddly." "Well, that's Dad for you, isn't it?" "No, this was more than usual." "Much more." "He seemed almost fractured." "Just like you swine." " Melanie!" " Ellie!" "How are you?" "Oh!" "Oh, I like the hair." "It looks good." "Yes." "Um..." "Mum's in the house." "She says you're back doing the radio." "Yeah, for my sins." "Trying to drag Radio Portwenn into the 21st century." "Dead lucky, you are." "I can't wait to get out of here." "If I make up a CD of my songs, would you give it a listen?" "Maybe even play it on your show?" "Of course." "I'd be happy to hear anything you've got." "Go on, get the pig slop." "Them pigs need feeding." "Forgotten how busy you get round here." "'Cos you haven't visited for years." "Dermot didn't even manage to get out of bed this morning." "First time he's not been up at the crack of dawn since God knows when." "I've just come for my order." "Syringes, protective gloves, swabs." "How are you feeling today, Doc?" "Oh, um..." "Oh." "Well, I know how that feels." "We're both in the same boat." "Abandoned and alone." "I've forgotten the swabs." "Well, don't worry, Doc." "I don't feel that way about you anymore." "Obviously, though, we are soul mates." "It just perhaps wasn't meant to be in this lifetime." " Yes, I have to - ..." " Now, are you eating properly?" "I could drop round the odd casserole, if you'd like." "No, I wouldn't." " It's no trouble." "I cook for myself, it's easy to make a little extra." " No." "Oh, please." "I can't be..." "He's not in his bed." "Oh." "Maybe he's feeling better." "I know where he'll be." "Stupid man." "Dermot?" "What's going on?" "Are you OK?" "I fell." "What are you doing?" "I had to feed 'em." " I told you Ellie was doing that." " Well, she didn't, did she?" " I heard them getting in a right state." " They're won't bite?" "They're sensitive creatures." "Smart, too." "Unlike you." "Come on." "Get up." "I can't." "Dermot?" "Just give me the bloody pills." "It's getting worse." "Shall I call the doc?" "The bugger won't come." "He will if it's an emergency." "I think this qualifies." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "What does it look like I'm doing?" "I'm trying to shift this piece of junk." "That's my dad's fridge." "Not any more, it isn't." "Didn't he tell you?" "He's gone bust, handed it all over." "Give us a hand, will you?" "Thing weighs a ton." "Yeah, thanks for the help, then!" "In here, Doc." "It's like fate, our paths crossing like this." " Makes you think, doesn't it." " No, it doesn't." "Out of the way." " Doctor." " Yes." "Mr Bell, let's have a look at you." "Your temperature's raised." "Has your erysipelas spread?" "A bit." "Let's have a look." "Cor, that's more than a bit." "No wonder you could barely walk." "I told you to stay in bed." "I had to check on the pigs." "Oh, for God's sake." "Right." "Let's get him inside." "On my count." "One, two, three." " Oh!" " Oh..." "Oh, God." "And again." "The restaurant is shut." "The insides have been stripped and he's not answering his phone or anything." "And he didn't mention anything about it to you?" "No." "I mean, the last time we spoke, he said everything was going fine." "And now here I am, wasting all this time chasing around after him, when I should be concentrating on the BB." "Do you know how many guests we've got this month?" "None?" "None." "Yeah." "You wanna do a spot on the radio." "That new DJ, Melanie, she's on the lookout for local interest stories." "Not sure I'd qualify for that." "Oh, you would." "And you do." "Tomorrow, half-past four." " Really?" " Yeah." "Nice one." "This is called outrageous orange." "But they should call it 'total babe' make-up, because that's the effect it has." "Probably your mum, checking I haven't thrown you out with the bath water." "Sorry to disturb, just to let you know you left your pram outside." "It's risky, that." "A lot of opportunists round here." " Who'd steal a pram?" " You'd be surprised." "If it's not nailed down, it's fair game." "Yeah, you're probably right." "Louisa would kill me if it got nicked." "Oh, no." "I locked myself out." " Don't you have a key?" " Obviously, it's inside, or I wouldn't be locked out." "James, don't panic, OK?" "Your husband needs intravenous antibiotics immediately and fluids to stabilise his blood pressure." "He needs a short spell in hospital." "That's very difficult, with the pigs." "The bacteria in his blood system will release enough toxins to cause tissue damage and major organ failure." "How would the pigs like that?" " Right, then." " I'll call an ambulance." "You're going to have to pull your weight around here now." "It's just you and me." "You have to do Dad's work." "But I told Melanie I'd make her a CD of my music." "That's not important right now." "You can do your silly music when you're older." "Please, Ellie." "Don't you test me." "Not today." "I told her we should leave a key under the mat." "Louisa will be home from work any minute now." "Sh." "It's all about listening to the tumblers." "You just have to wait for the... click." "Piece of cake." "It's still locked!" "I am so dead." "I could have sworn I heard a click or something." "It's a minor setback." "Becky Trevean!" " What's up?" " The law requires your assistance." "There's a vulnerable infant involuntarily incarcerated on the premises." "Can you unlock the door?" "Credit card." "Visa or MasterCard?" "Oh, thank God." "Er..." "Normally, I would arrest you for that." "But I'll just give you a warning." " Tosser." " I heard that." "Blooming heck, you've been busy, haven't you?" "It's just as well you're due a bath." "I'll take that." "Thank you, Joe." "I owe you, big time." "Well, it wasn't really..." "You're welcome." "Any time." "We'll start you on a course of corticosteroids." "Prednisone." "I'll keep you monitored and taper the dosage off after four weeks." "And continue to taper it off over the following year." "Yes, I know." "How are you coping?" "I was looking forward to London." "The hustle, the bustle." "But slowing down doesn't mean coming to a standstill." "And you?" "Yes, well, I'm concerned for you." "With Dr Timoney." "The whole process." "Um... she suggested that Louisa and I attend therapy as a couple." "Interesting choice." "But she's a smart woman." "You'd do well to listen to her." "Louisa's not keen." "And I don't want to push her in that way, in case it causes more problems." "What is it that YOU want, though?" "I just want the whole mess over with." "What are you doing?" "Well, I was going to try to give you a hug." "Oh." "There's your prescription." "Ellie." "Everything OK?" "I had a big fight with Mum and..." "I ran away." "Where did you sleep?" "Oh, God, look, you're shivering like anything." "Come on." "Is it all right if I come in?" "Yes, of course." "Good morning, James." "How are you?" "Fine." "I was giving James a bath last night, and I noticed this spot on his foot." "I thought it was a mole, but it's a funny colour." "Hm." "What is it?" "You look worried." "Is it serious?" "No." "It's nail varnish." "Oh, James." "What are you doing with nail varnish?" "Have you thought any more about Dr Timoney's suggestion?" "Probably best that she sorts your problems out first, I think." "Doc!" "Doc!" "I need some help here." "What's going on?" "She collapsed on my doorstep." "Right." "Come through." "Did you sleep outside all night?" "Under a tree." "Wasn't very clever, was it?" "Open your mouth." "Look up." "Up." "Hm." "Some rest and some hot drinks." "You have a touch of streptococcal pharyngitis." "Oh, my God." "What am I going to tell her parents?" "It's commonly known as strep throat." "It lasts two to three days." "I didn't know that." "That doesn't surprise me." "There's lots of people out there who aren't aware of such things." "Imagine if they had a way of finding out... through the medium of radio, say?" "Hm." "Keep warm." "Plenty of fluids." "Don't exercise." "Stay in bed until the fever passes." "Avoid irritants." "You can stay with me until you're better." "I'll call your mum." "I hope she's not gonna be too mad at me." "No, don't worry about that." "I got through." "I just..." "Joe..." "I want to report a missing person." "Do you know if that Janice is single?" "What?" "No, just wondering." "Not for me." "For a friend." "Did you hear the bit where I said I wanted to report a missing person?" "I was just multi-tasking." "Right." "Name." "Dad." "I haven't seen him for a couple of days." "The last time we spoke was on Friday, I think." " Have you tried the restaurant?" " Obviously." " Jennifer would know where he is." " I sent her a message." "Her phone's off." "No reply, nothing." "Have you tried his house?" "Can we just assume I've done all the normal things like phoning and checking his usual haunts?" "It's unlike dad just to take off like this." "Well, I'll put out an APB on it." "Well, by that I mean I'll keep an eye out." "I wouldn't worry." "I had a cousin this happened to." "Everything was gone ... clothes, car, no trace, nothing." "And where were they?" "Actually, we never did find him." "Where are you going?" "I'm not going to find your dad in here, am I?" "I've got to go out there, on the beat." "Morning." "How's the little one today?" "Keeping a firm grip on him." "We're off down the beach." "No!" "Oh, yes, we are." "No, I mean, what a coincidence." "I'm heading down that way myself." "Got to patrol the beach... for litterers." "The more the merrier, then." " Louisa." " Hello, Ruth." "Welcome back." "Yeah, it was good to get away." "You know, a bit of sun." "A double shot espresso to take away, please." "I'll just have a tea." "Um..." "I erm..." "I met Dr Timoney." "Oh, yeah?" "Hm." "Yeah." "She wasn't quite what I expected." " In what way?" " Well she's very young." "Yeah?" "Just seems a bit odd." "You have to question her life experience." " I see." " And she wants me to get all involved, you know, see us together." "And you're not keen?" "It feels like she's trying to blame me for things and I feel like I'm being judged." "Is that wrong?" "Is that irrational?" "Well, I can understand your concern, Louisa, but I'm surprised you're not more curious." "I would have thought you'd wanted to hear what he really thinks, or at least put your side across." "* Radio" "* Radio Portwenn *" "Apples, pears, oranges, hamburgers." "Which is the odd one out?" "The answer might surprise you... after this song." " Is Ellie with you?" " It's OK." "She's at home." "Doc told her to get some rest." "She hates me." "Oh, come on." "She's a teenager." "She hates everyone." "I was trying to make her understand that we've got a farm." "She's got to pull her weight." "She's so wrapped up in this dream about being a singer." "Well you used to want to be a dancer." "Do you remember?" "You were mad about it." "Yeah, well, I married Dermot, didn't I?" "I had a choice to make and it wasn't easy." "Exactly." "It was your choice." "Your decision." "Nobody else's." "You've just got to let Ellie find her own way." "I miss that, you know..." "you talking straight to me." "Suppose we've just been so busy." "Well, you can always phone the radio." "Got a daily call-in, three to four." "Oh, no." "Hamburgers." "Hamburgers is the right answer." "Healthy Eating Week, loud and live on Radio Portwenn." "Now, next up we have Cardiff's own Michael Barratt." "Who, you may ask." "Well, you may remember him better as the Welsh Elvis himself," "Mr Shakin' Stevens." "So how is Dermot doing, anyway?" "Well, he's on the mend, slowly." "He wanted to check out this morning, but I put my foot down." "He's so stubborn." "Sounds like he's not the only one ignoring doctor's orders." "Ellie." "I'm feeling better." "Are you mad at me?" "Yes." "No." "Sort of." "No." "No, I'm not." "I suppose you want to take me home." "Well, actually, I'm thinking of hiring someone to help us out, just while your dad gets back on his feet." "No, no need to rush back." "So I can stay here for a bit?" "Well, if it's all right with Melanie." "Yeah." "Hey, you can help me out in the studio." "It's driving me mad, doing everything by myself." "No wonder the last one went Bodmin." "I could sing some of my songs." "Excellent." "Hey, you never know, you might be the next Barbara Dickson." "I've looked everywhere." "I've asked everyone I can think of." "It's like Dad has just disappeared." "Well, you can't worry about that now." "You've got to focus on your radio slot." "So, tell me about your business." "Oh, Portwenn Fishing Holidays is a unique opportunity for guided fresh and sea water fishing, in stunning surroundings." "How do you respond to accusations that recreational fishing can be damaging to the conservation and welfare of marine life?" "Er... what?" "She's not going to ask that." "You never know." "Gotta keep you on your toes." "I'll be fine." "It's just talking, isn't it?" "What are you doing?" "Don't sit there." " Sorry, Doc." " Al's going to be on the radio." " Stop talking." "Mrs French, go in there." "Al, go out there." "Good luck." "So that's your fader there." "Now, there's your mic." "This is for cueing up the next song, like an emergency button, in case of dead air." "Dead air?" "Silence." "It's basically your worst nightmare for radio." "Oh, Al." "Hi, thanks for coming in." " Yeah." " So you're going to talk about your new venture." "Excuse me." "Melanie." "Is that dead air?" "Oh, God!" "And now we have our special guest for Healthy Eating Week, here to talk about his new venture and how it could change your life." "Al Large." "Hello." "Oh..." "Hello." "Right, Al." "Now, your girlfriend told me that your new business venture is to do with fishing holidays." "What girlfriend?" "Morwenna?" "Er... no, Morwenna's not my girlfriend." "I mean, she's a girl, and she's my friend, but she's not my girlfriend." "Right, OK, so Al, tell us about your new business." "Er... well, technically, it's not just my business." " I share it with my partner, Ruth." " Oh, so she's your girlfriend." "No, er... business partner, not partner partner." "So she's not your girlfriend either?" "Morwenna is not my girlfriend." "Ruth is not my girlfriend." "I don't have a girlfriend." "OK, well, if there's anyone out there for sad old Al, pick up the phone and give us a call." "Now." "Al." "Portwenn Fishing Holidays ... tell us about it." "Er..." "What sort of fish can people expect to catch?" "There's erm... there's sea trout." "Ooh!" "Yeah, er... no." "Sorry, not sea trout, unless we're at sea." "Which we could be, because it's very close, the sea." "Right." "Al, don't you have a lake?" " Yes." " Oh, good." "Nice." "So what could you expect to catch there?" "Er... brown trout." "Right." "Anything else?" "Er... rainbow trout." "Al, sum it up for me." "What can these lucky fisher people expect to take away from this fabulous holiday?" "Erm... fish." "Wonderful." "Thank you, Al, and I'm sure people will be flocking to see your new venture." "Fish ... an excellent source of Omega 3 fats, and good for the heart." "And now, coming up we have something that's good for the ears, in the shape of up-and-coming singer-songwriter Ellie Bell." "Hello, how are you?" "I'm OK ..." "I'm..." "I'm OK." "This is a song what I wrote." "It's about pigs." "Hey!" "Hey, Dad." "Hey!" "Pete?" "What are you doing in Dad's van?" "I part-exchanged it with him, needed good suspension." "Part-exchanged it for what?" " My campervan." " Well, do you know where he is now?" "Whole point of a campervan ... could be anywhere." "The road is your oyster." "Pete." "I did warn him it had engine issues, so he won't be going far." "Last I seen him, he was at Luggers Point." "I er... heard you on the radio." "Prat." "Cheers, Pete." "* You say..." "* You say they're smart" "* And sensitive" "* And very sweet as well" "* And I know you wish I was like them" "* It's no secret, I can tell *" "* You make me crawl" "* Just like a swine" "* Every breath is a waste of time" "* And I tried to rise" "* Stand on my own two feet" "* So I'm not broken" "* Still complete" "* You make me crawl" "* Crawl..." "Oh!" "Ellie?" "Ellie!" "Oh, my God." "She's collapsed." "Anyone." "Someone." "Help." "Call the doctor now." "Ellie." "Wake up, Ellie." "Ellie!" " Nausea?" " Doc, emergency." "Radio station." " What's happened?" " Ellie Bell collapsed." "They're not sure if she's breathing." "Um..." "Right." "Hold that." "Oi, Doc!" "Out of the way!" "Stay by the telephone." "And don't let the patients leave." "Hi!" "Hi." "Hello, James." "Have you had a lovely day?" "He liked the beach." "Got a water baby, you have." "You weren't letting him play with nail varnish today?" " That was an accident." " I'm not comfortable with the word accident in close proximity to my child." "Didn't know you were joining us." "I'd have got you one." "I'm sorry." "It won't happen again." "I'm keeping a close eye on James, I promise." "He was only in the house alone for minutes ... five at the most." "What?" "You left James alone?" "Someone rang the bell, and I got locked out and then I..." "Despite her distress, she handled the situation very professionally." "Thanks, Joe, could you just give us a minute?" " Just keep her airway open!" " Martin?" " I can't stop!" " Do you need a hand, Doc?" "What..." "Janice..." "Look, I know I'm fired." "No, no you're not fired." "But I have to be able to trust you." "Please, please don't do that again." "You got it." "OK?" "OK, I'm going to take this one back for his bath." " And I'll see you tomorrow." " See you." "OK." "Bye." "Say bye." "Bye-bye." "Oh, Doc, thank God." "What's wrong with her, Doc?" "There's no blockage." "It's just swollen." "She's having difficulty breathing." "She's stopped breathing." "I'm going to have to do a cricothyroidotomy." " A what?" " An emergency tracheotomy." "You will have to help me." "Get another cushion." "We're on air, so I've got to put a record on." "No, you've got to help me." "I need another cushion." "What's going on?" "Something's happened at the radio station." "Doc's there." "I don't care." "Quickly." "Now." "If you're listening at home, we are having a bit of an emergency." "What are you doing with that scalpel, Doc?" "Feeling for the top of the cricoid cartilage." "Ooh..." "Come here." "Stand here." "Come here." "Hold this." " What?" " Hold it!" "The doc has made a hole in the throat." "I am now assisting him." "Erm..." "He is removing, um... a plastic bag, in which, um... there is a plastic tube." " What are you going to be doing with that?" " Stop talking." " I've been told to stop talking, so I will now keep quiet." " Shut up!" "Is she all right?" "No, she's still not breathing." "God, Ellie." "Ellie, please breathe." "Please breathe, Ellie." "God." "Ellie." "Ellie, we love you so much." "Your mum and dad love you." "I love you." "You can come back in the studio any time and sing whatever you like." "Just please breathe, Ellie." "Please." "Why have you stopped?" "What's happened?" "Is she dead?" "No, she's breathing on her own." "Oh, this is Radio Portwenn, live." "A bit too live." "What happened to her, Doc?" "Uh... it's epiglottitis, a throat infection." "She stopped breathing because of a throat infection?" "It's a bacterial infection." "It appears as a sore throat and usually goes away without any trouble, unless a patient is run down or doesn't obey her doctor and stay home and rest." "Then the epiglottis inflames and shuts down the airway." "But she's going to be OK now?" "Yes." "Yes, her brain wasn't deprived of oxygen for too long." "She'll need to go to hospital, though." "Infection." "It can strike at any time and without warning." "Another reason to eat healthily." "All right." "Show's over." "Sit down, please." "And the doc will be back next week to talk about his ideal diet." "Will you please leave me alone?" "That's your daddy." "That's your daddy." "Dad?" "Dad?" "I have been looking for you for days." "You've not answered your phone, the restaurant... it's all shut." "I just needed some peace and quiet." "Some time off, right?" "What?" "What's happened?" "This happened." "It's Jennifer." "She's not coming back." "She's been offered a permanent position in Blackpool." "Oh." " So you're gonna move up there, then?" " No." "She's decided it's better if we... how did she put it, now?" "It's better if we go our separate ways." "Oh." "Oh." "Bloody hell, Dad." "I'm sorry." "Why did you Sellotape it back together?" "To remind me not to hang on, not to wait, to carry on with my life." "I mean, that's what we do Large boys do ... we bounce back." "We carry on." "No, we don't." "We try, and we fail." "And we end up worse off than we were before." "I mean, look at me." "I went on the radio today to try to promote my business." " I know." "I heard." "You were very good." " I was terrible." "You were memorable." "That's what counts." "I don't know how you can be so optimistic all the time." "You lost your fiance, you lost your business, you're living in a campervan." "You've just got to see it through my eyes, boy." "'Tain't all bad." "Hello." "Sorry." "I just dropped some things off." "I heard you on the radio." "Right." "Yeah." "Well... good night." "So I was thinking about the therapy." "And if you really think it's a good idea, then, you know, I should give it a try." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "It's a means to an end." "Or a new beginning." "Er... right, then." "I'll see you tomorrow." "I want you to embrace three times a day." "And make a positive statement to each other." "Time to move this eyesore." "There's been complaints, Bert."

"I think." "Are you feeling comfortable, Louisa?" "Yeah." "Why?" "You don't look especially relaxed." "I'm feeling a little squashed." "Can you move over a bit?" "Do you feel that you keep a distance from each other?" "Um..." "We're currently living apart." "Yes." "And that's not what I was referring to." "Are you aware that you maintain a separateness, even when you're sitting next to each other?" "Frequently, couples will... hold hands or... make unconscious gestures of affection." "Are you saying we don't act like a couple?" "Have you ever actually been in a relationship?" "This isn't about me." "Mm." "Looking at you now... you seem quite self-contained." "Do you enjoy sharing physical contact?" "We do have a child, you know (!" ")" "If there is to be the possibility of having a successful relationship, one must be able to express one's appreciation of one's partner." "I appreciate Louisa." "Do you find Martin to be appreciative?" "To me, he's usually quite nice." "To other people... not so much." "Are you implying that he's rude?" "Can be, yeah." "Would you like to say more about that?" "Erm..." "Well, he has no social skills whatsoever." "He doesn't suffer fools gladly." "Or at all." "He makes no attempt to disguise his contempt for anyone he considers less intelligent than he is." " And he considers everyone to be less intelligent ..." " I understand." "Martin, is Louisa being unfair?" "No, not really." " Louisa." "Three positives about Martin." " What?" " Quickly." " Erm..." "He's a very good doctor." "He always looks very smart." "And... he keeps the house very tidy." "Great." "Martin, are you able to think of three positives about Louisa?" "Yes." "Can you tell me what they are?" "She's a good and caring mother." "She's physically active." "And she's very beautiful." "Each person has to feel that their needs are being met." "Physical contact is a vital aspect of that." "So where do we go from here?" "I'd like to set you some homework." " Fine." " I want you to embrace... three times a day." "And make a positive statement to each other." "You OK with that?" " Yes." " Sure." "Right." "James is bathed and Sudocremed." " Should I put him to bed or would you like me to leave now?" " Let him play for a while." " It might tire him out." " Yes." "If you would like me to bathe him on a regular basis," "I'm sure I can find the time." "Yeah." "Thank you." "He'll enjoy that." "Won't you, James?" " Right." " What?" " Should we erm..." " What?" " Our homework." " Yes." " Come on." "Could be fun." " Right." " So I'll get us started." "Erm... have you got something positive in mind?" "Yes." "I'm glad that you came back." "Thank you, Martin." " That wasn't so bad, now, was it?" " No." "So erm... why don't we..." "why don't we try it again?" "Yes, the step was a little awkward." "We can do better than that." "OK." "OK, Martin?" "Um..." "I'm having difficulty letting go." "I'm not going anywhere." "This is nice." "I actually can't let go." "My watch is snagged on your cardigan." "There." "That's got it." "It's... it's just the hem." "It's all right." " I have a letter of referral to write, so I'll say goodnight." " Of course." " Goodnight, James." " Goodnight." "Oh!" "Doctor?" "Doctor?" "Did you enjoy your fish stew?" "It was no trouble." "I just happened to be passing." "Oh." "Mr Large?" "Bert?" "Time to move this eyesore." "We've had complaints." "This is a beauty spot and..." "Your van doesn't exactly improve the view." " That is discrimination." " The law's the law." "You need to move on." "Where will you go?" "Don't worry yourself about that, Joe." "I'm already sorted." "But first..." "I'm gonna have a cup of tea." "Morning, Miss Glasson." "I mean er..." "Miss Ellingham." " Sorry." "Which one is it?" " Peter Cronk!" " Goodness, you've grown!" " Of course." "I'm currently undergoing adolescence." "I expect to grow at least 30 centimetres in the next four years." " And my muscle weight will increase by six or seven kilograms." " OK." "And my voice dropped an octave in the past year." " So what are you doing here?" " There's something I'd like to discuss." "Erm, OK." "Yeah." "I've got five minutes." " I'm off for the next week on work experience." " Ooh!" " Thinking of being a teacher?" "If you'd like a week at the school, that'd be OK." " No." " OK." " I want to be a doctor." " That's nice." " I would like to work in Dr Ellingham's surgery and learn about general practice." "I've outlined my request in the letter." "And you want me to deliver it because I have a chance of persuading him." "If anyone can, I'm sure it's you." "Please." "Erm, well, I can't promise anything." "But I will ask." "Great." "Thank you, Miss Glasson." "It's Mrs Ellingham." "Oh." "Good morning, Jessy." "You're bright and early." "Little bit too early, actually." "Yeah, sorry about this." "I've gotta show a property in Plymouth." "You all right, Jessy?" " Oh, she's fine." " Sure?" " Yeah." "Just a bit sleepy is all." "My wife's looking after her mother in Padstow at the moment." "Can she not come inside?" "Well, if she goes to the library and reads quietly, I'll keep an eye out." " But let's not make this a habit, OK?" " OK." "OK." " Come on, Jessy." " Off you go." "Go on." " Come on, Jessy." "There we go." "Right, Jessy." "So... what have you got in your bag today?" "My symptoms?" " Yes." " Yes?" "Yes." "I have symptoms." "How does your depression manifest itself?" "Oh, well, you know." "It just makes me feel a bit... sad." " There's nothing in your notes about depression." " Constant anxiety." "Yes." "That's it." "And I'm always erm... worried about stuff." " What type of stuff?" " Well, you know." "Usual stuff that... depressed people worry about." "And I can't leave my house or anything." "And yet you're here (!" ")" "Oh, I'm having a good day." "So." "How about some of that Serry-er... toning?" "There is no such drug as Serrytonin... if that's what you're referring to." "There are antidepressants, SSRIs, that boost the level of serotonin in the brain." "Oh." "Well, I'll have some of them, then, please." "No." "I'm already treating your glaucoma, which antidepressants exacerbate." " How about some Valium, then?" " No!" "It is my clinical judgment that you are not depressed at all." "You already take beta blockers and statins." "You do take them?" "Course I do." "Love 'em." "Ooh." "I need some more." "That's right." "Right." "Well, I'll renew your prescription for beta blockers." "We'll review the situation in a week or two." "Couldn't I have some antidepressants while you're at it?" "No!" "* Dear Lord and father of mankind... *" "* Forgive... * I'll just be with you in a tick." "Sal?" "Clive." " It's been a long time." " I know." "I'm sorry." "No!" "No, no, no, no, no!" "It's been a very long... time." "I went back on the rigs." "I had to think." "About us." " What are you doing here?" " Well, I think we ought to give it another go." " You do?" " We're still married." "Husbands and wives should stick together." " What about your job?" " I gave it up." "I thought I could help you out round here." " Help me?" " In the shop." "We can work together." "Team..." "Tishell." "Team Tishell?" "!" "You never once visited me in all those months I was away in that convalescent home." "Even though I sent you the address and begged you to come." "And you knew it wasn't my fault what happened...." "We're closed!" " All right, boy?" " Ruth's all right with you being here, but you can't stay for ever." " Gotcha." " Well, park it in the woods, where no-one will see you." " I owe you, son." " You do." "Right." "I'm gonna go now." " Oh." "Actually, do you have a minute?" " Yes." "Do you remember Peter Cronk?" "Asthmatic mother." "Tried to deep-fry her arm." "Yes." "To you, from Peter." "He wants to shadow you in the surgery." " He wants to be a doctor." " That would be unnecessarily disruptive." "I thought there'd be a problem with patient confidentiality." "He'll ask endless questions." " That will irritate you." " Not to mention the inconvenience." "As I thought." "Don't worry." "It's fine." "However, if you tell him to come and see me first thing tomorrow, before surgery, we will discuss it." " Really?" " Yes." "He's got a modicum of intelligence and he's resourceful." "A bit of guidance wouldn't be out of place." "Great." "Are you sure about this?" " Yes." " Right." "Well, I'll let him know, then." " Your dress is lovely." " Oh, thank you, Martin." " You're welcome." "You seem... really committed to this therapy." "Yes." "I am." "And now it's your turn." "That was my turn." "You are, aren't you, committed?" " Erm... yes." " Do you think it's gonna work?" "Well, I think that counselling can have positive benefits, yes." "Good." "Mm." "Right." "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." "Are you OK?" "Just seems odd... to leave." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." " If any of the patients objects to your presence, for whatever reason, then you will leave." " OK." " You will not talk to the patients." "Is that understood?" " Understood." "You will not touch the patients or discuss these consultations with anyone." " Can I write down what you tell them?" " No." "Can I discuss consultations with you?" "Yes, if it'll improve your understanding." "Then I'm ready to start my medical training." "Can I start now?" "Yes." " What would you like me to do first?" " Take those bags out." "Erm... and then can we discuss various medications" " and their effects and contra-indications?" " No." "Then I'll show you how to use the sphygmomanometer." "I brought you some breakfast." " You all right, Dad?" " Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." " Just... pondering, son." " Here you are."

"Put your arm on the table..." "Hold your hand still." "It was his first cast." "He didn't realise I was still holding the hook." "In the top cupboard closest to the sink on the first shelf is a black, zip-up holdall." " Is this gonna hurt?" " Yes." "The doctor is preparing the local anaesthetic." " He'll inject you on both sides of the thumb to shut down the nerves." " Who's he?" " Work experience." " Am I right?" " Yes, you are." " Well, can I do it?" " No." "Keep your hand still." "What... what are those for?" "To cut off the hook." "Cover your eyes." "Now I'm going to pull the hook through your thumb." " Oh, God!" "I think I might faint." " Don't." " Will it need stitches?" " No, a plaster will do." " Well, can I put a plaster on, then?" " No." " I'm sure the patient won't mind." " I would, actually." " I just want practical experience." " Well, tidy this up, then." "Excuse me." "Silly behaviour over here." "Can we stop that, please?" "Thank you." "Play nicely." "Miss Grappy?" "I believe you're meant to be supervising the children." "Not texting." "Yeah."

" Stat?" "What does stat mean?" "It's an abbreviation of the Latin word statim, meaning immediately." "Why didn't you say 'immediately'?" "I'd've got it." "We always use the term stat to save time." "Hasn't really worked on this occasion, has it (?" ") And who's 'we'?" "Those of us in the medical profession." "Ah, yeah." "But you're not a professional." "Cos you're working here for free."

" She'll need intravenous immunoglobulin." " I've never seen this before." " Now!" " Thank you, Dr Ellingham." " Yes." " Will she be all right?" " Yes." "Should be." " Where's Jessy?" " She's gonna be fine." "Isn't she?" " Yes." " She's suffering from Kawasaki Disease." " What's that?" "Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome." "It inflames blood vessels." "Left undetected, it can spread to the coronary arteries." " How did she get it?" " It's an infection." "And, frankly, I'm appalled that, as her father," " you failed to notice the blisters on her stomach and hands!" " Martin." " I'm working nonstop." " You have a duty of care to your child." "You're right." "I just don't have the time to spend with her that I should." "Well, somebody should be paying attention!" "This is neglect on a Dickensian scale!" " He doesn't mean that exactly." " Yes, I do!" " Martin!" " What about her mum?" " ..." "My wife isn't with us any more." " Oh." " She found someone she prefers." "I see." "I'm doing my best with Jessy, but..." "it's hard when you're on your own." " Well, you understand." " What do you mean?" " Haven't you two..." " It's only temporary." "Evening, Peter." " How's your mother?" " Yep." "No luck yesterday." "But I'll try again in a couple of weeks." "Right." "Mum?" "Oh, my God!" "Mum?" "Mum?" "!" "That was terrifying." "I wonder if I would've spotted that in James." "Of course you would." "How long will she be off school?" "Could take a month for a full recovery." "Yes?" ""It's Morwenna."" " Obviously." " "I've got Peter Cronk on the phone."" "Tell him he can't come back and to stop ringing." ""No, his mother is unconscious." "She fell down the stairs."" "Oh." "Something up, Doc?" "I..." "I heard Peter shouting about something or other." "Peter?" "It's Dr Ellingham." "She's in here." " Was she conscious when you found her?" " Barely." "She couldn't stand." " Have you called an ambulance?" " No, I called you." "Mrs Cronk?" " Can you hear me?" " Oh, Dr Ellingham." "What happened?" "My legs ..." "I couldn't..." "couldn't feel them." "Have you had any more panic attacks?" " She hardly has them at all now." " I wasn't talking to you." "Has your asthma been a problem since you last came to see me?" "No, not really." " Have you fallen before?" " No." "Actually, I did have a little tumble last week." "You're supposed to tell me these things." " Is anything broken?" " No." " Shall I call an ambulance?" " No, don't." " I'm not going outside." " Why not?" "Why not outside?" "Surely you go out every day you go to work." "She was made redundant eight months ago." "Mrs Cronk?" "I think that your panic attacks have escalated into some sort of agoraphobia, due to the stress of losing your job." "Peter, make them leave." "I can't do this." "I can deal with this." "She's getting better." "I don't think so." "Can you control your breathing?" " She was having panic attacks daily." "I've got it down to one or two a week." " How?" "I dissolve beta blockers in her tea." "What?" "!" "Are you insane?" "!" "I didn't want you to worry about the side effects." " You should have brought her in." " You'd've called Social Services." "A kid at my school, his mum went to hospital and they took him away." "Did you want to shadow me to get access to the drugs?" "No, I really do want to be a doctor." " So where did you get the beta blockers?" " I bought them." "Who did you buy them from?" "Who sold you those tablets?" " Mr Jarvis nextdoor." " Martin." " No!" "No, no!" "Don't do that!" "If you're already taking beta blockers it's useless!" "He threw that away!" "I know you can't mix beta blockers and Salbutamol." "One opens up the airways and the other causes the airways to narrow." "Mixing Salbutamol and beta blockers potentially lowers potassium levels, causing muscle weakness, which may be why your mother's legs gave way." "I didn't know she still had it." "You told Mr Jarvis to come and see me and pretend to be depressed." "You'd have given whatever I prescribed to your mother without knowing what she was taking." "Mrs Cronk, have you taken any other drug?" "I'm sure there's nothing else." "That's aspirin." "Aspirin prevents blood clots forming in the arteries." "Be quiet." "It's not a tutorial." "I'm illustrating that I'm not the idiot you think." "St John's wort." "It's a harmless homeopathic remedy of dubious value." " I used it for the placebo effect." " Not homeopathic, naturopathic." " But it doesn't work." " It succeeds in alleviating some symptoms of depression." "So, what would be the result of mixing St John's wort with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor?" "I'm not sure." "If I prescribed antidepressants to the man nextdoor, he sold them to you and you crushed them in your mother's tea while she was also taking a homeopathic remedy, that would have tipped the serotonin level in her system to a toxic degree." "Which could be fatal." "It beggars belief!" " Is Peter in trouble?" " No." "I'm sure he and Martin are just having a little chat." "Relax." " Is everything OK?" " Your son's completely irresponsible!" "You're lucky to be alive." "He could've killed you." "Don't tell anyone." "I'll get better." "I know I will." "You can't let them take him away." "No-one's gonna take anyone away." "Are they?" "Peter made a mistake." "He's an intelligent boy and he won't do it again." "It's categorically prohibited for anyone to administer a drug without correct medical training ... or any training!" " I was just trying to help Mum." " Well, you didn't!" "And you broke the law!" " I think his intentions were good." " Oh, really?" "Is that the point?" " I'll stop." "I won't do it again." " Of course you won't!" "You have committed a criminal offence!" "And the law takes that sort of thing extremely seriously." " Mr Jarvis!" " Martin, wait." "Are you reporting Peter to the police?" "Louisa, he's broken a law." " And it's a good law made for a very good reason." " OK." "I see that." "But he's not gonna do it again, is he?" "No, he's not gonna do it again." "Oh, great." "Well, that's a good idea." "You call Joe Penhale." "Have Peter slapped in cuffs." "Lock him up." "That's a perfect solution for everyone." "That'll teach him (!" ")" "Well, I'll refer the woman to a mental health specialist." "Perhaps Penhale isn't the right person in this situation." "I'll talk to Jarvis later." "OK." "Well, I'm sure Peter won't do it again." "You've given him enough of a fright." "Mm." "Is this... spontaneous affection or prescribed?" " Hm." " What?" "Well, I..." "I've got my ring caught." "Don't move." "I would like you to hand over control to Louisa for an activity of her choosing." " I don't think Martin's gonna get on very well." " I don't think so." "Please!" "Listen to your dog." "Accept him." " Come on, dog!" "Let him into your life (!" ")" " Shut up!" "It's a picnic, Martin." "Just try to relax." "Ow!" "Shut up." "Would you stop leaving food on my doorstep?" "Was the lasagne not to your liking?" "Would you prefer a fish stew?" "I'm quite capable of preparing my own meals, and your food is attracting that dog." "Dr Ellingham, I'm just trying to support you through this difficult time." "Well, thank you, Dr Ellingham, your order will be ready by lunchtime." " What's up?" "Why have you stopped?" " His blanket's slipped." "What?" "Is he cold?" "Morning, James." "That's too loud." "You'll damage your hearing." " Listen to me!" " Hey!" "What are you doing, you perv?" "That's charming, isn't it?" "Absolutely charming." "No." "Not you." "Stay there." "No, no, no!" "Stay there!" "No!" "Stay out!" "Horrible dog!" "No!" "no!" "Get...!" " Morning!" " Get me a vet." " Why?" " I want that dog put down." " There's nothing wrong with him!" "They won't put him down just because you asked them to!" "No." "Just get me a vet and don't let that filthy stinking animal back in my surgery!" " I'll take him at the end of the day." " Are you ready?" " Yes." "I was just waiting for you." " Good." " Shall we go in?" " There's seven minutes to our appointment." " She won't mind." " Oh!" "Martin!" " What?" "What if he recognises us?" " Morning!" " Hello." "Come on." "Yes, so we did try the um, the... hugging exercises." "How did it go?" "Well, Martin has a little trouble with spontaneity." " So do you!" " This isn't about me, Martin." " Have you given Martin's blood phobia any more thought?" " I have, yes." "We'd love to hear your ideas, wouldn't we, Martin?" "Yes." "Very often a fear of blood can stem from control issues." "From what I've observed of you, you're clearly someone who likes to be in control at all times." "I believe the sight of blood brings about a psychological feeling of loss of control, and it's this feeling that manifests itself in your physical reactions of nausea and vomiting." "I disagree." "It was when I started to see the patients I operated on as genuine human beings and not just bodies." " I still think there may be another underlying cause." " Which is?" "Your inability to deal with people may display itself as a desire, a need, to be in control at all times." "So what can Martin do?" "Practically?" "There is no quick fix." "Patterns of behaviour take time to break." "However, there is one exercise I would recommend you both try." "Both?" "Martin, do you feel safe when you are with Louisa?" "Yes." "Then I would like you to hand over control to Louisa for an activity of her choosing." " What sort of activity?" " Whatever Louisa decides." " I don't think Martin's going to get on very well with that." " I don't think so." "Do you think it could be possible you sometimes ask things of him you know he'll struggle to complete?" "What, you think I want Martin to let me down?" "As a defence mechanism, possibly." "Your constant disappointment in him protects you from getting too close." "So you're think I'm not fully committed to this relationship?" "I'm saying I think it would be empowering for you to take charge." "Once you've chosen your activity, I want you to make it very clear what you want from him." "Stick with it, don't feel pressured or dissuaded from doing what you want." " And what do I do?" " Your role is simple, Martin." "You need to do exactly as Louisa instructs, without trying to take over." "Thanks for coming." "It's been sticking for a while," " and this morning I couldn't close it." " It's not a big job." "I think the hinges just need tightening." "I didn't know who else to call." "I know you're not rushed off your feet at the moment with the BB." "Yeah, don't I know it!" "Are you busy?" "I'm doing an analysis of the risk factors" " between male and female serial offenders." " Is that so?" "I'm giving a talk for a forensic psychiatry conference next week." "I thought the Doc wanted you to cut down on your work?" "Martin's not the only doctor in the family." " Well, that should do it." " And speaking of family, when's your father moving on?" "He hasn't told me his plans." " I don't want him to become a permanent fixture." " I know." "I have asked him but, er, it's impossible to get a straight answer." " Why don't I ask him?" " OK." "Thanks." "Janice!" "Janice..." "Joe." "Wondered if you wanted to come over on Thursday." "I'm having one of my famous barbecues." " Famous?" " Well, yeah." "Everyone knows about the old Penhale Pig-out." "Hottest ticket in town." "I've never heard of it." "That's because it's on a-need-to-know basis, and now YOU know!" "Who else is going?" "Well..." "Al and Morwenna?" "She hasn't said anything to me about it." "Great. see you then." " Megan!" " Sorry I'm late." "I love you!" "Just fill in the patient registration form and I'll book you an appointment for a repeat prescription." "What's he like, the Doc?" "Is he nice?" "Erm..." "Doc!" "This is Mrs Sparrock." "She's new to the village." " Right." " Call me Debbie, please." "Next patient." "I hope we get on as well as I did with my last GP." "Dr Bainbridge was amazing, he was so supportive, especially with my daughter's ADHD." "Yes." "Leanne..." "Perrins." "Go through." "Speaking of my Kelly, she's almost out of her medication, so I was hoping you could whip up a quick repeat prescription for me." "Some methylphenidate, 5mg." " Mrs...?" " Debbie, please." "Mrs Please." "I won't be whipping up anything until my Kelly's notes have come through, I have read them, examined the patient myself, and only then, if I'm happy that methylphenidate is the right medication," "will I write you a prescription." "See you then." "So, what do you think?" "No, I thought not." "All right." "Thanks anyway." "Bye." " Told you!" " What?" "I can't find a vet who'll put Buddy down for no reason." " Right." "I'll do it myself." " What?" "Come through." " This way." " Doc!" " He's going to put Buddy down!" " What?" " He means it!" "He's got him in there right now." "Martin!" "You are not putting that dog to sleep!" " Why not?" "Nobody else will." " He's right." "I tried everyone." " The dog needs to be dealt with." " Put the needle down, please." "You don't have to kill Buddy." "We can get him rehoused." " It's not my dog to rehouse." " It's not your dog to kill either." "I'm sure someone can take him in." "Actually, I did speak to one vet who'll take in anything." "She took in my auntie's chinchilla." " What did she say?" " Well, I didn't ask her." "I was just seeing if she'd put Buddy down." "It was a firm no." " Angela Sim, that's her." " Yes." "Angela..." "Dr Sim's daughter." "Let's hope she's a better vet than he was a doctor." " If she takes Buddy, you'll never see him again." " Fine." "So long as you get rid of him." " Slight problem, I've only got my bike." " Give me the address." " .. he'll be bringing you mice again in no time." " OK." "Bye." " Bye now." "Dr Ellingham." "Morwenna said to expect you." "Why don't you come on inside?" "Bring him too." "Come on, Buddy." "That's enough..." "That's enough of that." "I need to check him over before I accept him." "There's nothing wrong." "He's perfectly healthy." " How would you know that?" "You're not a vet." " No, I'm not." "How are you feeling, Buddy?" "Hm?" " I understand your father was Dr Sim." " Yes, he was." "The man you have said misdiagnosed most of Portwenn for 30 years." "That's right." "I'm surprised that coming from a medical background, you chose to practise holistically." "An animal is made up of lots of different parts." "If one part isn't working properly, then the whole animal is affected." " Oh, right." " Hm..." "Buddy has a bit of conjunctivitis." "I will treat it with Euphrasia." " Good for you." " ?" "94." " What?" " My fee." "It says on your sign that you rehouse house all unwanted animals for free." "I'm making an exception." " Cheaper to put him down." " I'm aware that was your first request." " Fine." " Thank you." " What's wrong with your hand?" " A dog bit it." "It goes with the job." "Show me." "I'm quite capable of looking after it myself, thank you." "Now, let's find you a bed, Buddy." "Do you want to say goodbye?" "Don't be ridiculous." "Bert?" "I'm just coming." "Ruth!" "What are you doing here?" "Thought I'd pay my sitting tenant a visit." "Well, that is very kind of you, I must say." "I'm not one for beating about the bush, Bert." " when do you intend vacating the premises?" " Well..." "I don't have an actual date as such, but I was thinking...." " What's that smell?" " I wouldn't go in there." "A still?" " Isn't that illegal, Bert?" " Don't get mad." " I'm trying to make a little bit of whisky." " On my land?" "Without a licence?" "Steady on." "That licence is a bit of a thorny thicket and almost certainly pending." "Do you have a distilling licence or not?" "Not as such, no." " Does Al know about this?" " No." "And please don't go telling him." "You've overstayed your welcome, Bert." "Just a moment, Ruth." "I am onto something special here." "This whisky is made from the finest Cornish ingredients." "It's gonna make me famous." "It's gonna make both of us famous!" "And as my partner, you'll share in the the profits, eh?" "So what do you say?" "Get this enterprise off my land, Bert." " Morning, Doc." " Yes." "Morning there..." "Shouldn't you be in school?" "Can't get qualifications in daydreaming." "Miss?" "I'm talking to you." "I am a law enforcement officer and you are legally required to listen to me.." "Hello?" "Bugger." " Morning." " Morning." "Thank you." " Hello." "I thought you were taking Buddy up to Angela's?" " I did." "So why is he trying to eat James's breakfast?" "What?" "No!" "Oh, for God's sake!" "Shut up!" "That stupid woman must have let him go." "I'll take him back at lunchtime." "Morwenna, tie this dog up outside." " Possible BFT, Doc." " What?" " Blunt force trauma." "Right, go through." "Morwenna, get the dog." "OK." "Buddy, outside!" " Any headaches, dizziness, nausea?" " No." "How did it happen?" "I don't know." "Sat on the wall, next minute I was on the ground." "Has it happened before?" " Don't think so." " You don't sound sure." "My ADHD medication makes me a bit dizzy sometimes." " Name?" " Methylphen-something." " Your name, not the medication." " Kelly Sparrock." "Oh..." "I met your mother." "You're the perv from yesterday!" "I've got a policeman outside." "Stop talking." "So why do I want to go to a barbecue at yours?" " Everyone's going." " Who's everyone?" " Janice..." " She didn't mention anything to me about it." " Didn't she?" " Who else?" "You, if you'll go." "So, me and Janice?" "That's it?" "No." "Gonna ask Al." " I suppose if there is a few going, I might pop along." " Yes!" "How's the patient?" "Good job I came along when I did, eh?" "No signs of concussion." "I'll give you some notes on head injuries." "There's no need." "I'm fine." "If you have any headaches or nausea in the next 24 hours," " I want you right back here." "Do you understand?" " OK." "And be more careful in future, young lady." "We don't want anything happening to you, now, do we?" "I phoned your mum." "She's waiting for you at home." " Can I go now?" " I'll give you a police escort." "Having a bit of a do tomorrow night, Doc." " Imagine you'll want to be there." " No." "Morwenna, I told you to take that dog outside and tie it up!" "OK..." "Here, Buddy!" "Yeah, that's healing nicely," " but bring her in next week for a check." " Thanks, Ange." "Come on, then, Lulu." "Let's get you down." "Good girl." "There's a good girl." "Good girl." "There's a good girl." "I think I know why she keeps running away." "She doesn't like her new name." "I get that a lot with rehomed dogs." " What was her name before, then?" " I don't know." "She was a stray." "I'd need to spend more time with her." "Come on." "Off you go." "I shall see you next week." "Appreciate it, Ange." " I paid you ?" "94 to keep that dog here." " I have no idea how he got out, and I'm sorry, but I know WHY he ran away." "You two have unresolved issues." "What?" "Do you actually believe you can communicate with a dog?" "I possess an ability to do that, yes...." "Quiet!" "I thought you were a proper vet?" "Has anyone ever told you you're small-minded?" "Just because it's beyond your understanding" " doesn't mean it doesn't exist." " Oh, for God's sake!" "Look, if I see that dog again, I will euthanise it." "And I will be duty bound to report you to the police if I discovered that anything has happened to that perfectly healthy animal." "Who did those stitches?" " I did." " That wound's infected." "You should let me have a look at it." "You are the last person I'd let treat me." "All right, get another doctor, but get some antibiotics in you!" "I am perfectly capable of assessing my own medical needs," " thank you, Dr Ellingham." " Yes, I'm sure you are (!" ")" " Bert." " Ruth." "I thought I'd stop by to say goodbye before I head off to... well, to wherever the road takes me." "Thank you." "To be honest, I thought you'd offer more resistance." "No, Ruth." "I know when I'm beat." "You've been more than generous to me, and I got no complaints about you, only admiration." "I thought you'd appreciate..." "the fruits of my labour." "That's very kind." "Well, I guess I'll be going now." "Goodbye, Bert." "Just popping out." " Ooh, that was fast." " Yes." "He was tired." " You know that control thing I'm supposed to do?" " Ah..." "Er, yes." " Good." " I'm throwing a party." " I see." " For you." "So I just need you to write a little speech." "I'm inviting around 30 people." " You don't think that's too many, do you?" " Why?" "So you can make some new friends." "Some of them you'll know, of course, but not everyone." "So you'll have to introduce yourself in the speech, you know, say who you are..." "I'm joking, Martin." "I was actually thinking about the three of us having a picnic on the beach." "Oh..." "I see." "When?" "Shall we pick you up at six tomorrow, will that be OK?" "Yes, that's fine." "Good." "Mm..." "Come on." "Come on." "In you go." "Go on." "OK." " Barbecue?" " Be like the old days." "The Portwenn Posse back together again." "The sun shining, a few beers, a few women." " What women?" " Janice and Morwenna." "How about it, Al?" "I need a wing man to help me with Janice." "Well, if you like Janice so much, why don't you ask her out yourself?" "It's the uniform." "Some women can't see past it." "This way Janice will get to see me in a more casual setting, give her a chance to see the real me." " Are you sure that's wise?" " Look, Al, I really need this." "Who took you in when you were homeless, eh?" "I'm not really in a party mood, to be honest." "Make things very difficult for you." "Fishing licence checks, health and safety certification, that sort of thing." " You wouldn't really do that, would you?" " I'd have no choice." "Well, nothing else to do, I suppose." "Great." "Thanks." "You're a real mate." "You won't regret this." "I already am." " Morning." " Oh!" "You just caught me!" "Another two minutes and I'd have been gone." "I came to congratulate you on your whisky." "It's not half bad, is it?" "Still needs a bit of work, though." "Yes." "Why whisky?" "I needed to do something that I love." "And I do love my whisky." " It's as good a reason as any to get out of bed." " Exactly." "We've got great spring water here!" "Why should the Scots have all the market?" "The Cornish are Celts too." "I have read that micro-breweries are becoming popular." "And I could get in on that, eh?" "I'm thinking of calling it Large Whisky." "It sounds as if it could be a sensible venture." " How many people know about this?" " Not a soul." " Can you keep it that way?" " I suppose so." "Why?" "Keep it quiet... and I'll give you another couple of weeks." "I owe you, Ruth." "You've been more than generous." " Do you think you could stretch it to a month?" " No." " OK." " I'll tell Al that I've taken pity on you and given you an extension." "Oh..." "Huh!" "Here we are." "Come on." "No, no!" "Buddy!" "Buddy!" "No!" "Buddy!" "Sparrock." "How's your head?" "Do you have any symptoms of concussion?" "No." "But I'm worried, Doc." "Kelly keeps having these accidents." "Do you think it could be because of her ADHD?" "What's this?" "It's an email from our last GP ..." "Dr Bainbridge." "I know how long patient notes take to come through, so I thought this might speed things up." "It's all there ... the fidgeting, lack of attention, poor performance at school." "It's classic ADHD." "So if you could just write us up a repeat prescription, we'll be out of your hair." "What's wrong with your hand?" "Your hand, you didn't have that bandage yesterday." "She burnt it on the toaster." "Daydreaming as usual." "She's always doing that, drifting off in the middle of things." "Away with the fairies,." "my mother always says." " How long has she been like this?" " Since forever." "I am here, you know." "And does the ADHD medication make any difference?" "Made her more irritable if anything." "Right, well, it's a common side effect." "I want you to breathe in and out very rapidly." " What?" " Breath in and out as quickly as you can." "Keep it up." "I think your daughter may be suffering from a mild form of epilepsy" " known as absence seizures." " Not ADHD?" "Keep breathing." "It can present similar symptoms." "Oh..." "There she goes again." "Away with the fairies." " It's a seizure brought on by the rapid breathing." " What?" " What just happened?" " Are you all right, love?" "Will she be all right?" "It's treatable with the right medication." "She'll probably outgrow the seizures by early adulthood." "I'll make her an appointment to have an electroencephalogram." "That should confirm the diagnosis." "Well, Dr Bainbridge was so sure it was ADHD." "Yes, it's a classic misdiagnosis." "Once my diagnosis has been confirmed, I'll you prescribe sodium valproate." "That'll work in a few days and you'll notice an improvement in her concentration immediately." "I've got some coley for your cats in my van." "No time, Eric." "Buddy's got to see the Doc." "Reckon we'll get some rain later?" "Angela, haven't seen you for a while!" "How are you?" "Yes, yes, I'm very well, thanks, Sally." " Is your arm OK?" " Can't stop!" " Are you off to see the Doc?" " Can't stop!" "Oh..." "I'm having a barbecue." "Special occasion." "What do you recommend?" "How many are you barbecuing for?" " Four." " Big event, then!" "I need something that says" "I'm a man of the world, but I'm still approachable." " Sardines." " Anything more exotic?" "Italian sardines?" "Perfect." " What are you doing here?" " I've got to see the Doc!" "Is it an emergency?" "Are you all right?" " It's private." " OK." " What's that dog doing here?" " Why did you redecorate?" "It was much nicer when we lived here." "Have you still got that dresser?" "I loved that." " Have you come to have your stitches looked at?" " Buddy knows... how lonely and unhappy you are, and he wants to help you." "You must..." "You must let him into your life." "You need Buddy." " You seem agitated." " Please, listen to your dog." "Accept him." "It's not my dog." "Oh, come on, Doc!" "Let him into your life!" "Shut up." "I need to examine you." " There's nothing wrong with me." " Well..." "I just came to deliver the message." "Come on, Buddy." " Ready?" " Yes." "Don't you want to change?" "We're going to the beach." "Yes, I know." " What's that?" " I've made a picnic." "No, this is my activity." "If I wanted you to make a picnic, I'd have asked." " I wasn't sure I'd like what you made." " You're doing what you were told not to, you're taking control." "Oh, I don't think this is such a good idea." "Now you're doing exactly what Dr Timony said YOU'D do." "I would like you to leave your picnic behind, Martin, and escort me and your son to the beach, please." "Right..." "Do you want me to take your basket?" "No, but I would like you to push James Henry." " If that's what you want." " Yes." " Thank you, Martin." " After you." "Cooking again?" "Oh!" "Oh, my God, Clive!" "Oh, you startled me!" " I don't know what you're up to." " I'm not up to anything." "And I don't want to know." "I do know that I've not been the best of husbands, nor the most attentive, which might have been the cause of some of the... difficulties you've faced in the past." "But I want that to change." "I'd like us to start trusting each other again, to move on, together." "Oh..." "I ran away when you most needed me, Sal, but I'm here." "I came back." "I came back... for you." "Off we go." "Good boy!" "Such a good boy!" "Oh, look at him!" " Oh, his bucket and spade, please." " Yes." "Come on!" " Hey, what are you looking at?" " Sunburn." "Oedema." " What?" " That swelling on your skin." "It's caused by sunburn." "Cover it up." "Make an appointment to see me as soon as possible." "Pervert!" " What a letch!" " Tosser!" "Right." "Here will do." "Er, actually I think it might be better..." "Less shingle." "Martin." "Please." " No." "This is fine." " Good." "So, you set this out and I'll take James." "Good boy!" "We're going to have a lovely time." "A bit thick." "I don't think you've ever had one of these before." "That's right." "Good." "That's it." "That's it." "OK." "Sit down, Martin." "Just leave the blanket alone." "I just want to get the... get the sand off." "It's a beach, Martin." " Yes, but I would like to be comfortable too." " OK." "So, Scotch egg?" " Haven't you got any healthy food?" " No." "It's a picnic, Martin." "Just... try to relax." "Ow!" "Could I have my Frisbee back?" "Martin, just..." "Thanks." "There we go." "Nice." "So, Scotch egg for you." "Scotch egg for you." " They're late." " Only by a few minutes." "Calm down, they'll be here." "What about the rolls?" "Should I have got granary?" "Show a more sophisticated palate." "And there's too many croutons!" "Joe, it's only a barbecue, mate." "Stop panicking." "You're right." "You can't have too many croutons." "Here we are, then." "This all looks great, Joe!" " Crack this open." " I'll have some of that!" "How you doing, Joe?" "The sardines are fresh from the sea." " You know I'm vegetarian?" " Oh..." "I'm teasing!" "I can eat fish." "They're not animals, are they?" "We're building a castle, Martin." "Come and help us." " Yes!" " Right." "Yes." " Is that a turret?" " Yeah, of course." " Why doesn't it look like one, then?" " It looks fine to me." " It's askew." " Yeah, it's how James and I built it." "Yes, but it's still askew." " This is supposed to be fun, Martin." " Yes, it is." "I'll build a curtain wall." "Get away from me!" "Get away!" " Hang on." "Isn't that Angela Sim?" " Where?" " What on earth is she doing?" " No, no!" "Oh, no, no!" " Disgusting!" "Go on!" " Martin?" "Look." "Get away!" "They won't leave me alone!" "Help!" "Leave me!" "Leave me alone!" "Miss Sim?" "These damn birds!" "They won't leave me alone!" " What's wrong with her?" " She's hallucinating." " Stay there." "Miss Sim?" " There's nothing wrong with my hands!" "It's these damn birds that are the problem!" "Oh, wait a minute!" "Vets do this all of the time!" "What have you taken?" " Will you shut up?" "!" " He won't listen to him!" " Won't listen to who?" " To Buddy!" "Oh..." " You've got a great spot here, Joe." " It's one of the perks of the job." "It's even nicer in the evening when there's no-one here." "Perhaps... you'd like to come... one evening." "I think the Doc might need you." " He'll be all right." " It looks serious, Joe." "Careful." "The law never sleeps, I suppose." "I knew what I was getting into when I took the oath, but..." " You should get down there now, mate." " Yeah." "Oh!" "There's more!" "She's clearly deranged." " Take James to the surgery." " Are you sure you'll be OK?" " Yes." " I'll deal with this and then catch you up." " All right." " Miss Sim!" " Belt." " Oh, right." "I'll be back." " I've got to get in the water!" " Miss Sim!" " It's so hot." " What medication have you taken?" "It's the sun, isn't it?" "The sun's attracting the birds!" "What birds?" "You're hallucinating!" "Well, what do you call them, then?" " There's nothing there!" " You WOULD say that!" " What medication have you had?" " He's a fast runner, isn't he?" "Unless you tell me what you've taken, I can't help." "What are you doing?" "I've got to get in the water!" " Here to offer assistance, Doc!" " What?" "Do you want me to Taser her?" "I just need to get her to the surgery until she calms down." "I'm on it." "Stop!" "Halt!" "I've got to get to the water!" "Oh, go away!" "Stop!" "Or I'll be forced to..." "Oh..." "Doesn't look like Joe's coming back, then." "Didn't think I was going to have this much fun." " Glad I came now." " Me too." "I like dinner and a show." "Enrofloxacin is a veterinary antibiotic, it's for cats and dogs." "Here you go." "It's toxic for humans." "Hence the hallucinating." "I know that now, don't I?" "God, I'm thirsty!" "Be careful you don't over-hydrate yourself." " Have you self-medicated with veterinary medicines before?" " I always do." "Not with that one." "I won't make that mistake again." " I'd hope you wouldn't self-medicate again!" " I might." " Most of us do." " Doc, have you finished with me?" " I've got something to attend to." " No." "Wait." " The effects should wear off in a couple of hours." " Doc..." " Be quiet." "Are you allergic to penicillin?" " No." "I'll write a prescription for some NON-veterinary medication." " And PC Penhale will take you back to your home." " I'm able to drive myself." "That's great." "So I'll just head off..." "You're not driving anywhere." "You're under the influence of a drug." "Fine." "I'll do your stitches tomorrow." "You'll hear from the hospital about your nerve conduction tests." "What are you doing?" "Take the dog." " No." "He wants to stay here." " What?" "He wants to be with YOU." "Surely that must be clear by now?" "Oh, no, you don't!" "I paid you ?" "94." "You take that dog with you!" "OK, OK." "I'll take him." "Come, Buddy." "Buddy!" "Penhale." "Get the dog." "Poor Angela." "How is she?" "Completely deranged." "She should be back to her normal self by the morning, though ..." " slightly deranged." " Martin!" "I'm sorry the picnic didn't quite work out." "Yes." "Though I'm quite glad you DID take control of that situation." " Well, somebody had to." "The woman was in crisis." " Yeah." "Did she really think Buddy was talking to her?" " Yeah." " About you?" " Yes." " So what did he say?" "Er, he thinks I'm lonely." " Oh..." " What?" " Nothing." " It's nonsense." " I'm sure." "Buddy!" "No, Buddy!" "Come back here, you little bugger!" "Quick, go inside." "Oh!" "Oh, er..." " Danny... whatshisname." " Lou!" "Hi!" "So you fell in love with someone you thought from the outset wouldn't stay?" "Perhaps you would like to move your things upstairs?" " Erectile dysfunction is not a medical emergency." " It is to me." "Why did you discuss our private life with your friend Danny?"
