"Oh, good morning!" "Hello." "Are you the estate agent?" " No." " You look like an estate agent." "I'm a doctor." "Oh." "Is that Seaside Cottage?" " No, that one is." " Oh, right." "Oh." "In which case I think we'll be neighbours then." "I'm Erica Holbrooke." "Hi." "This is my daughter, Bernadette." "Say "Hi," Bernie." "Oh, she's exhausted." "We left Bristol at the crack of dawn." "Yes." "Goodbye." "Hey." "So you're really doing it, then?" "Yeah, I'm a handyman with a van." "All sorts, really." "Electrical work." "Plumbing." "Furniture removal." "That's great news." "You just want to get rid of me." "Oh." "All right." "Right." "So now, tell me, how did the exercise go last week?" " Well, it was..." " It didn't..." " You go first." " No, you." "It was fine." " Fine?" " Mm." "It was a bit of a disaster." "Are things this difficult for everyone?" "Is all this struggling a normal part of the process?" "Well, normal is a very loaded word." "Not every couple who goes through therapy stays together." "But that shouldn't be seen as a failure." "Accepting separation is a success in itself." "I'm not sure I entirely agree with that." "That's because you need to challenge your preconceptions of being apart." "I want you to think about some of the possible advantages that being single might have and make a list." "But the whole point of coming here is that we don't want to separate." "I understand that." "But what we want and what we need aren't always the same thing." "If you can't live together, you have to consider the benefits of living apart." "For our next session, make a list of what those benefits might be." "I wasn't expecting her to say that." "I know she said it wasn't a failure, but... it certainly feels like one." "I mean... was she saying that we should get a divorce?" "No, she's saying make a list." "We started this process." "We should see it through." "Gosh." "I'm gonna be late for school." "Can you drop me off?" "Can I help you, sir?" "Inspector Salter, Neighbourhood Beat Management Commander." "You must be Three Zero Two One PC Penhale." "Can we have a little chat?" "What's your secret, PC Penhale?" "I'm not quite sure what you mean, sir." "The level of reported crime in this area is zero." "It's been zero for the past six months." "Straight line." "No fluctuation." " Sorry." " Don't be." "It's a good thing." "It's a wonderful thing." "I've been staring at the figures wondering how you do it." "The people upstairs are beginning to ask questions." "Really?" "What sort of questions?" "Who is this Three Zero Two One?" "Why don't we have our own Three Zero Two One?" "When will Three Zero Two One come and work for us?" "Shut up!" "I mean, erm... that's really nice to hear, sir." "So when you say "the people upstairs"... .. who exactly are you talking about?" "The guys on the fifth floor." "Right, right..." "And who exactly are they?" "Coordinators of the High Visibility Patrol Initiative in Exeter City Centre." "We could certainly use a man like you in Exeter." "You mean someone of similar height and stature as me, or...?" "I mean you, PC Penhale." "A transfer." "Think about what you could do in the city." "I know there's not much time." "Need a decision by the end of the week." "You begin induction Monday." "(Exhales)" "Get your head down and work today." "It's nice, isn't it?" " Oh, I like this." " Oh, Erica." "I just wanted to say I'm so glad you've joined us." "We were let down by our last art teacher and making do with supply teachers for a few months." "It's been a nightmare." "Well, it's just great to finally be here." "I have missed teaching art." "We're both looking forward to a fresh start." "Couldn't wait to actually get out of Bristol." "Didn't you like the school there?" " It was all right." " I had her moved up a year." " Oh." " Yeah, she was bullied." "You know how children are." "See, Bernie's very bright for her age." "As soon as she found out we were moving to Cornwall she was reading Daphne Du Maurier, weren't you?" "Jamaica Inn and Frenchman's Creek." "I don't suppose you have Du Maurier in Year Three?" " No, it's far too..." " Yeah." "Advanced?" "No, it's just not suitable." "Oh, really?" "No, I don't think so." "I mean, the one good thing about being away from work so long was reading with Bernie." "She's working her way through Rebecca." " Gosh." " Yes." "I think children should be challenged." " Absolutely, yeah, but..." " And it's the same with art." "You know, it just confronts who we are, as people." "Mm-hm." "And that's great." "But It's worth bearing in mind our pupils enjoy painting rainbows and seascapes, that kind of thing." "Yeah." " Morning, Doc." " Yes." " You OK?" " Yes." "The first patient is here already." "Am I seeing you both?" "No, Doc." "Just my husband, Jim." "Right." "You wait here then." "We do everything together, Doc." "Been that way for 40 years." "All right." "Come through." "Take a seat." "What seems to be the problem?" "My neck." "I've got this lump." "It only come up the other day." "Loosen your collar." "I told Annie it was probably nothing, but she worries." "I do worry." "And that's not a bad thing." " Stop talking." " Her or me?" "Both of you." " Has it increased in size?" " No." "Like I say, I only saw it a couple of days ago." " Tuesday." " Yeah, Tuesday." "I want you to go to hospital for an ultrasound scan." "Why?" "What's wrong with him?" "I don't know yet." "I can't do hospitals." "It's just a scan, it's not invasive." "It's to determine the nature of your, erm... mass." "You listen to what the Doc says, OK?" "He'll do all right by us." "Here you go, my lovely." "You got a dripping tap, I'm your man." "No job too small." "All right, Bert?" "Can I have a word?" "No." "We could put that business with the still behind us." "Look, I wasn't doing anybody any harm." "Now I'm stuck sticking my head down toilets and changing blown fuses." "I couldn't turn a blind eye to illegal activity, Bert." "I could've made a small fortune." "I need some advice, Bert." "Never trust a policeman." "How about that for advice?" "I've been offered a transfer." "Exeter." "Take it." "It wouldn't break my heart to see you gone." "Great." "Thanks." "Good talk." "What is art?" "Come on, come on, come on." "All right, all right, some of you might think that art is drawing pictures of sheep in fields and boring sunsets." "No." "It's much more than that." "Art is the expression of the true self through imagination." "Yeah?" "And I want to learn more about your true selves." "Right." "Let me give you an example." " What is your favourite toy?" " Patty the Pig." "She's pink." "Great." "So what we're going to do is we're going to have you all bring in your favourite toys." "Your Patty the Pig." "Who's this?" " Belinda Dolly." " Belinda." "And we're going to take them..." " (All gasp)" " Belinda!" ".. and we're going to put them on the board, like this." " Yes?" " Why?" "So that anyone can come by in the next three weeks, see our little... art installation, see all your favourite toys, yeah?" " And learn something about you." " Mum." "It's Miss Holbrooke at school Bernie, not Mum." "Um..." "OK." "Miss Holbrooke." "I've only got one doll and I don't want to do that to her." "You'll get it back when we're done." "Don't worry." "All right, Bert?" "Just got some flyers to drop off." "No." "It's not a community notice board." "Find somewhere else to put your nonsense." "I'm just trying to drum up trade, Doc." "Out." "Alice Cooper." "Go through." "Bert... (Ice-cream van music)" "GIRL:" "Mum, got any money?" "Tony, you know the rules." "No parking within 100 metres of the school." "Oh, come on, Joe." "You're an accident black-spot waiting to happen." "I can't have you blighting my statistics." "Can I just get my cone first?" "Oh!" "I didn't see you there, Janice." "Serve this customer." "But only this customer!" "Then you need to move the van." "Right, come on." "Move on." "Come on." "It's bad for you anyway." "Thanks, Joe." "I dunno what we'd do without you." "May have to cross that bridge soon enough." "I've been summoned to the city." "Big promotion." "Oh, wow." "London." "I've always wanted to go there." "Well..." "Exeter." "Still big, though. 118,000 people." "Every one of them a potential criminal." "Suppose I don't have any ties to keep me here." "No, I guess not." "Nothing ever happens here anyway." " Florence!" " (Girl screams)" "I've got the baby!" "I've got the baby!" "No, I've got the baby." "Oh..." "Janice." "Janice, is James all right?" "He's fine." "Darling, are you all right?" "Oh, my goodness." "Dr Timoney!" "Are you... are you OK?" "Are you hurt?" "My head..." "I must have hit it..." "Well, I'm going to take you to see Martin." "All right?" "Whoa, whoa." "No-one's going anywhere until I've performed a breath test." "She has not been drinking." "I can smell her breath." "I can't smell her breath." "Can you get out of the car or need me to help?" "No, I..." "I think I can manage." "I'll get your bag." "Joe." "That was incredible." "It's just a pram." "The actual baby was there." "Yeah, but you didn't know that." "You were a proper hero." "(Mutters)" "Steady." "Doc, Louisa's here." "She's got a random with her." "It's Dr Timoney." "She's had a car accident." "She's hit her head." "Dr Timoney?" "Shut up." "Get out." "Close the door." "I'm really not sure you should be helping me." " Come and take a seat." " Don't worry." "It's no trouble." "I mean with our professional relationship." "Yes, I know what you're worried about but if you've had a car crash, you must let me examine you." "Thank you, Louisa." "Here's your bag." "I'd better go." "Got to get back to school." " Yes." " Thank you, Louisa." "Did you lose consciousness?" "I don't think so." "You're familiar with the symptoms of concussion?" "Of course." "Look straight ahead." "And if you experience any..." "I'll go to AE if I start feeling dizzy, throwing up, et cetera, et cetera, yes." "Your retinas are normal, pupils the same size, no sign of papilledema." "Just keep an eye on yourself." "Well, if symptoms start to develop, I'll contact my GP." "Yes." "What?" "Was there something else?" "Yes." "I have a question." "About the list you asked us to draw up." "Is it in any particular order, or prioritised?" "I don't think we should discuss this without Louisa present." "It's a technical question." "No particular order." "It's just a list." "It's the action of thinking and writing that is important." "Right." "If the Doc could take a sample of blood," "I could send it to the lab." "Saves me doing a breath test." "She's been through enough." "Come through." "Mind your head." "I'm not sure how I'm getting home." "I wouldn't advise you drive." "She can't drive anyway, Doc." "The car's damaged." "I could call you a taxi." "Thank you, very kind." " We need to talk, Doc." " Really?" "Thing is, I've been offered a new job." "Promotion." "Well, it's not promotion as such." "It's a transfer to Exeter." " I'm busy." " Right." "Just I need your opinion." ""Should I stay or should I go now?"" "to quote one of my favourite... (Ringtone)" "Hello?" "PC Penhale?" "I'm just getting ready to head back to Exeter." "I was wondering if you'd come to a decision yet." "Not yet." "Close though." "Very close." "I need a decision by the end of tomorrow." "We got other prospective candidates, so if you can't make the induction on Monday," "I'll have to offer the job to one of them." "I understand." "What would you do if you were me?" " I'd take the job." " Right, yes, of course." "By the end of tomorrow then." "I'll be in touch." "Thank you." "He's asleep." "Is that your list?" "Erm... yeah." "Well, it will be." "I haven't really thought of anything yet." " Right." " Have you done yours?" "Erm... no." "No, I haven't yet." "How is Dr Timoney anyway?" "I'm sorry, I can't discuss my patients." "I'm not asking you to "discuss" her." "I was just wondering if we're having our session on Thursday." "Yes." "I suppose we better get these lists done, then." "Erm, right." "I'll be off, then." "Erm... good night." "Good night." "(Knock at door)" " What?" " I've hurt my wrist." "Could you take a look?" "Erm... yes, right." "Come in." "I wouldn't normally impose but it is actually very, very sore and, well, we are neighbours, so..." "It's cramped, isn't it?" "Take a seat." "Thank you." "Let me have a look." "Just..." "Yeah... ow." "It looks like it's sprained." "Did you fall?" "No." "I felt a bit dizzy." "And I put my hand out to stop myself falling." " Do you often feel dizzy?" " No." "Yesterday." "After dinner." "I stood up too quick from the table." " Do you have other symptoms?" " No." "(Whispers) Granny fever." "Glandular fever." "Not granny." "I had it last year." "I was off work for ages." "A blood test would tell you if it had come back." "If you're going to stay here, make an appointment at the surgery and I'll register you." " I'm wallpapering our house." " Right." "And I have a few extra rolls." "If you need them." "Just think this place could use a little erm, something." "No, thank you." "I know it isn't easy." "That is why folk like us have to stick together." "What do you mean?" "The tragically single." "I'm not single." "Oh, I thought someone said that you and your wife had split." " No." " No?" "But you live in a different house from her." "Yes." " What do they call that then?" " None of your business." "Well, that's me told then, isn't it?" "Come on, you." "Let's get your homework done." " I haven't got any." " Oh, we'll think of something." " Oh, good morning, Doctor." " Yes." " I've come to see Mr Tishell." " Yes, he's upstairs." "Thank you." "For saving his life." "Yes." "Timolol drops, please." "Do you have a prescription?" "I have a credit card." "I'm prohibited from dispensing medication without a prescription." "What's your name?" "Sally Tishell." " Beth Traywick." " Yes." "Hello." "Traywick is the Americanised version of Traweek, a Cornish surname." "As far as I can tell, my people left here in the 1860s, to seek a better life abroad." "Well, my family were perfectly happy to stay where they were." "It makes you think, though." "Tishell." "Traweek." "For all we know we could be distant cousins." "Related." "So... how about you help me out... cuz?" "No prescriptions, no medicine." "Fine." "Well, if you won't help, maybe your husband will." "I need some Timolol." " I'm not her husband." " We have a connection." "No, we don't." "Do you have glaucoma?" " Yes." "I need some drops." " No, you need a prescription." " How do I get a prescription?" " You have to see the doctor." " And where's the doctor?" " I'm the doctor." " You live with the pharmacist?" " What?" "No, I don't." " I was seeing her husband." " Whatever you say." "Make sure he keeps up with the light daily exercise and keep an eye on his medication." "Can you just examine me here so I can get some drops, please?" "No." "Make an appointment." "Thank you, Doctor." "Will there be anything else, Beth?" "I guess not." "American." "A tumour, Doc." "That's what they said." "Suspected cancer of the thyroid." "Now, me and Jim have to confess, we don't really know what a thyroid is." "It's a gland." "Low, at the front of the neck." "Well, they want to cut it out, see." "Then give him radiotherapy and so on." "The one that makes your hair fall out." "If that's the treatment your oncologist has recommended," " I strongly suggest he takes it." " I don't think he will." "His brother died a few years back." "Malignant." "That was the word." "It broke Jim to see him." "Skin and bone he was by the end." "The sooner he starts treatment, the better his chance of survival." "You'll have to find another way." "If the doctors at the hospital have explained what's wrong and prescribed a course of treatment, there isn't much else I can do." "I don't believe that, Doc." "You're smarter than anyone round here." "Make him an appointment." "I'll explain why this treatment is necessary." "Apart from that..." "There's nothing else you can do?" "You won't examine him again?" " You're giving up on him." " No, I am not." "He's been examined." "He's been to the hospital, had an ultrasound scan, and now you know what the next steps are." "Just avoiding the issue won't make it better." "It never has." "I'm sorry." " (Children gasp)" " CHILD:" "Monkey!" "OK." "Who's next?" "Come on." "Neil?" "Come on." "Come on." "It's my special seal." "Oh, it's just wonderful." "No, don't cry." "Come on, this is a representation of yourself." "Oh, dear." "Sarah, come on, you come up." "Come on." "Bernie?" "Come on, no need to be shy." "Nobody wants to do this stupid project." "Well, do you know, maybe if you just give it a go." "No." "No." "No!" "ALL:" "No, no, no, no!" "All right." "No, OK." "OK, OK." "OK, let's just... (Chanting continues)" "Miss!" "(Children's anxious voices)" " What's going on?" " Miss Holbrooke's dead." "I'm sure she's not." "Everyone just sit down." "Sarah, go and get Miss Holbrooke some water." "Erica..." "Erica, what's happened?" "(Giggles) I don't know." "Oh, thank you, Sarah." "You should go and see a doctor." " There's no need." " No, you really should." "Especially with your medical history." "Do you know what it is?" "I didn't have breakfast, so..." " Are you sure?" " Yeah, it's nothing." "What's this?" "We're doing an art installation." "Showing how their toys reflect them." "Like gender roles and aspirations." "OK, tomorrow, why don't you do some normal art?" "Sunsets, fields, you know, that sort of thing?" "I think you should take the rest of the day off." "Go see the doctor." "Just to be on the safe side." "Really." "Here I am." "Did you make an appointment?" " You have a space." " I wasn't talking to you." " But there's a cancellation." " Not Mr Bellant?" " No show again." " Typical." "What is the matter with you people?" "Come through." "You let him speak to you like that?" "He speaks to everyone like that." "Well, I hope he pays you well for the privilege." "You know, a great woman gave this book to me." "And told me when I was finished to pass it on to someone else." "You are that someone else." "Yeah." "I'm not really into self-help books." "Oh, yeah, girl." "Because you're doing so well without them!" "Give this a chance." "And if it doesn't work, you can hit him across the face with it." "Next patient!" "Good luck." "Come through." "Take off your camera." "Roll up a sleeve, take a seat." "You know that the drops go in the eye, right, not the arm?" "I have to check your pulse and your blood pressure." "Timolol is a beta blocker." "Any problem with your heart, I can't prescribe it." "It slows the pulse." "Sleeve." "Believe me, my heart is fine." "25 years of marriage fine, of making that work, wondering if this is it, if this is life, and one morning I just woke up and bought a plane ticket, and came out here." "I've never felt better." " What's the matter?" " Nothing." "I'm sorry." "I'm not crying, it's just, I have... .. I have a garden variety asthma, and these hills around here have got me a little breathless." "Then why are you taking Timolol?" "Because my doctor prescribed it and he's a good doctor." "Really, how would you know?" " He's very expensive." " I see." "Then he should have known some beta blockers can trigger severe asthma attacks." "I'll prescribe you Latanoprost, which is what your physician should have done if he wasn't working out the back of a covered wagon." "And I always heard the Brits were so nice and polite." "What do I owe you?" "You don't owe me anything." "Well, thank you." "Do you know what some experts and healers have stated is the best medicine a person can have?" "A simple smile." "I don't understand what you're saying." "Your accent's very thick." "Here's your prescription." "Oh..." "Is Bert Large any good?" "The best." "Expert DIY and precision plumbing." "Great." "Um..." "Do you think I could see the doctor?" "Yeah." "He's got a free slot." "Follow me." "Doc." "Patient coming through!" "Now you just wait outside, OK?" " I can play with my doll." " Or you could read your book." "Hello." "I had a bit of a spell at school today." "What does that mean?" "I just felt a little bit dizzy... again, and... fainted." "Get onto the examination table." "All right." "Open your mouth." "(Tries to talk)" "Stop talking." "Do you think my glandular fever has come back?" "Well, your throat isn't swollen." "I won't know more until I've tested your blood." "Roll up your sleeve." "It just terrifies me, you know?" "Last time I was so wiped out, everything sort of fell apart." "I couldn't do my job and I wasn't there for Bernie, so..." "As I said, I'll know more when I've tested your blood." "In the meantime, monitor your condition, and if you do feel dizzy or faint, come and see me immediately." "Can I just, erm, if there is something wrong with me," "I mean, like properly wrong with me, you won't tell Louisa, will you?" "I don't discuss my patients with my wife or anyone." "Thanks for the favour, Doctor." "It's not a favour." "It's a regulation of the General Medical Council." "OK." "How much, Steve?" "4.50 a fish, roughly." "Why you buying fish?" "Thought your lake was full of them?" "Yeah, but none of my guests can catch 'em." "I've been offered a transfer to Exeter City Centre." " What do you think I should do?" " Do what you want to do, Joe." " I'm sort of busy here, mate." " Yeah, right, of course." "I'd get a lot more action in Exeter." "Well, then, go for it." "But I don't don't think I could turn my back on Portwenn." "Then don't go for it." "I'm gettin'... mixed messages." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Sorry, I gotta catch Dad." "Three trout." "Cheers." " Three." " Dad..." " How's it going?" " Oh." "It's going well." "I'm just sealing the deal." " Not really." " I'll give you a discount." " Eight per cent." " No, thanks." "This is a mistake." "It's going nowhere." " Now, now, don't give up, Dad." " All right." "Oh, you're the guy from the leaflets?" "Yes." "That's me." "Bert Large." "Great." "I've just moved into a place round the corner and I'm having some trouble with a tap in the kitchen." "Are you available at any time to check it out?" "It's a very busy period at the moment but just let me see." "20 minutes?" "Oh, great." "Yes." "Seaside Cottage." "(Plays off-key scales)" "Hey." "She's self-taught." "Really?" "It's quite amazing when you think about it." "It might be a clogged spout." "I'll clean it and then I'll check the pipes to be clear of sediment and debris." " It shouldn't be too expensive." " That doesn't matter." "I'm renting." "Send the bill to the estate agents." "Ooh!" "I'll do that then." "Just mentioning in passing," "I noticed that the bannister is wobbling, right." "Bit of a death-trap that." "Also your electrical appliances could do with a once-over" " while I'm here." " Right." "Better to be safe than sorry." "Mm." "(Banging)" "(Off-key violin plays)" "(Banging)" "(Off-key violin and banging continue)" "I need to speak to your mother." "Mum!" "I'll have to go get her." "She never hears me." "What?" "Oh, hello." "How are you?" " Can you keep the noise down?" " What?" "You're making too much noise!" "Bert's doing some work on the house." "That violin playing is excruciating." "Er, you can barely hear it." "No." "I only live there." "I can hear it all." " So not a music lover, then?" " That's not music!" "I think that Bernie's playing is beautiful." "She's gifted." "Well, she's not." "Make her stop." "(Banging and off-key violin resume)" "(Drilling)" " Ow!" "God..." " Morning, Doc." "I'm just finishing off a bit of work in here but if you've got any jobs need doing, just give us a knock." "No." "[Thank you.]" "Dr Timoney." " You recovered from the crash?" " Yes." "I just came back to pick up my car." "(Whispers) What are we looking at?" "Oh, I've been offered a transfer." " Ooh..." " I suppose I was just thinking, it's funny the things we never really notice when we're here." "The things we'll miss." "I lost a pair of flip flops on a beach in Spain once." "Years ago." "They were bright pink." "Horrible things." "Yeah, but you're still thinking about them." "Even though you're somewhere else, part of you is still there." "It's good to have someone that understands." "Hello?" "Oh, sorry, I was just seeing to my husband." " How can I help you?" " I need some paracetamol." "Yes, and something for that nasty bruise?" "I'll get you some Aloe Vera." "How did you get that bump?" " I crashed my car." " Oh, dear." "Thankfully, Louisa was there to help, and the policeman took me to see Dr Ellingham." "Well, this village is very lucky to have such a skilled doctor." "He's a client of mine, you know." "Oh." "And Louisa." "Couple's counselling." "They're trying their best to make their marriage work." "Really?" "It's quite a challenge, I can tell you." "Is it really?" "It's her, isn't it?" "(Door opens)" " Dr Ellingham." " Dr Timoney." "It's been far too long." "I hear you're retired now." "More or less." "I hope you're keeping busy." "Inactivity can be dangerous for the mind." "It starts to decay." "My mind is fine, thank you." "How about you, how are you feeling after your accident?" "Oh, bump and scrape." "It was nothing." "Actually, can I get some paracetamol?" "You asked for that already." "So I have." "Sorry, this headache's got me turned upside down a little." "Looks like it's me that's going senile, not you." "That's because I'm not going senile." "Had a car accident." "She's forgotten her change." "Oh, dear." "Well done, Hannah." "Well done, Leon." "Safe home." "Bye-bye." "See you tomorrow." " Oh." "How was art class today?" " Mum." "Mum, Mum." "No." "It's Miss Holbrooke, when we're at school." "Sorry, I was just, just asking about the art class?" "Oh, erm... yes, right, erm... everyone... painted a field." "Erm... some of them added rainbows." "And did they enjoy it?" " Yeah." " Well, that's the main thing." " See you tomorrow." " Bye." " Louisa." " Oh." "I've had an excellent idea for you and Dr Ellingham." "I need to see you both this evening." "Why?" "What's the idea?" "I..." "I can't talk about it now." "But it's very important you're both there." "And you can't be late." "Erm... yeah, I suppose so." "What time?" "7:30." "See you then." "And then after dinner, it's violin practice, then we'll see where you are with your homework." "All right, Mum." "Oh, no, did you get my message?" "The estate agent rang." "They said they won't pay you for any of the work you've done." "They said you've done this sort of thing to them before." "That's ridiculous." "Well, I'm not going to finish it." "I've been doing good work here." "And I should get paid for it." "What's wrong with the light?" "It's the bulb that's settling that's all." "Perfectly natural." "Miss Holbrooke!" "Mum!" "You made your decision yet then?" "Induction starts on Monday." "Oh." "So you're going?" "That's a shame." "Not going to be the same round here without you." "Portwenn is going to miss you." "Is it?" "Well, the people are going to miss you." "I'll miss you, Joe." " Really?" " Yeah." "Really." "I don't have to go." "I mean, I haven't actually told them I'm coming yet." "There's a two for one offer at the chippy on Monday." "Is it... just for chips or... is fish included?" "It's for everything." "I love fish and chips." "You can be my plus one." "Do you like mushy peas?" " No." " Me neither." "She's awake, Doc." "I told her not to move but she wouldn't listen." " What happened?" " She fell down the stairs." "But not because anybody had been working on the electrics or the bannister." "What caused you to fall?" "I just felt a bit dizzy, that's all." "What happened to your hand?" "I caught it when I fell, I think..." "Which wasn't my fault." "You were dizzy before, weren't you?" "What about your hearing?" "Is it getting worse?" "I had funny noises in my right ear last night." "That's tinnitus." "Hold your head completely still." "Look left." "Look right." "Your eyes are oscillating." "It's Meniere's disease." "Is that bad, Doc?" "A disorder of the inner ear." "Affects balance and hearing." " It's not glandular fever then." " No." "That's a relief." "I suppose." "It is treatable, with a drug called Betahistine." "You have to take it three times a day for up to two years." "You'll need balance training, physiotherapy" " and a low salt diet." " Will I have to leave my job?" "No." "With the right management, you can work." "I hope so because I can't leave the job." " Don't want to get fired again." " No." "Thank you." "I wasn't fired." "They asked me to leave." " It's not the same thing." " That needs dressing." "The curriculum didn't push the children far enough, you know." "(Gasps)" "It's to make you stronger, Bernie." "All right?" "It's a tough world out there." "Look how it's treated me." "Would you keep your hand still, please?" "Your father walked out, I lost my job." "We need a fresh start, we need to be strong." "I don't want to be strong if it means I have no friends." "What do you mean?" "You've got friends." "No, I don't." "You're always trying to make me different." "I don't want to be different." "Oh, Bernie." "Please, Mum." "Of course you don't." "Come here." "No, don't..." "Oh. (Sighs)" "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "Right." "Well, make an appointment at the surgery."

"I just spent the day doing work I'm not going to get paid for." "Always get it in writing." "It's not about that." "I hate plumbing." "It's why I gave it up." "I don't want to do it any more." "I was happy making whisky." "Why did I stop?" "Because PC Penhale threatened to arrest you if you continued." "You know what." "Here." "What do I want these for?" "Burn 'em, bin 'em, do what you want." "I won't be needing 'em any more." "I'm all for grand symbolic gestures, Bert, but you might have binned these yourself." "(Rings doorbell)" " Yes?" " We're here." "I can see that." "You said you wanted us to come and see you." "Yes." "Of course." "Come in." "Mm." "Mm, mm..." "Sit." "So how are we?" "I suppose we're intrigued." "That is an excellent word." "Martin." "A word that's similar to intrigued." "Erm... interested." " Strongly interested." " Two words." " Yes, I know." " Well, she said a word." "Dr Timoney, is this the excellent idea?" "Oh." "Thank you." "I think you said you had an excellent idea for us." "I did say that, yes." "I want you to stand up and start marching." "Can I ask why?" "Think about it." "The brain controls the body." "But the body influences the brain." " Dr Timoney, are you all right?" " Both all and right, thank you." "Dr Timoney." "Follow my finger." "My finger." "You might have damaged the orbitofrontal area of your brain when you crashed your car." "It would explain your strange behaviour." "My behaviour is fine." "You're just ignoring the issue, as always." "She needs a CT scan immediately." "You sit with her." "I'll call an ambulance." "Well... .. good night, then." "Good night." "Louisa." "Wait." "I can't go on living in that house." "I can't go on living like this actually." "No, I understand." "Maybe she's right." "Maybe we aren't accepting things." "I think it's time for us to work out... .. exactly what we're going to do." "With James and everything." "OK." "Good night." "Good night." "The fight-or-flight instinct's not just a myth."
