(bright theme music) ♪ ♪ (church bell ringing) ♪ ♪ (woman) Martin, Louisa, come on through.

(Louisa) Hello, Dr. Ryder.

(Emma) Please, call me Emma.

I like to keep things informal.

(Louisa) Thank you.

(Martin) I read your study on follicular fluid concentrations.

(Emma) One of the few.

-What did you think?

-It was very interesting.

-Thank you.

-Did you receive the anti-mullerian test results I sent you?

(Emma) Yes, yes, I did, yes.

And they show that I have a low ovarian reserve, -don't they?

-Yes, but a single test isn't definitive.

And we will need to repeat them on your next cycle to compare results.

(Louisa) Is there a chance it'll be any better?

(Emma) It's not unheard of for your hormone levels to fluctuate.

Nine times out of 10, the complication lies with the female.

Oh, but I will also need a sample of your sperm.

(Martin) Yes, of course, yeah.

(Emma) Now, before we proceed, I need to check that you're both prepared.

Fertility treatment can be emotionally fraught.

-Yes.

-And there are no guarantees.

(Louisa) Absolutely.

We don't want to delay, 'cause if there are any problems, I'd rather know sooner rather than later, yeah.

(Emma) If there is a problem with ovulation, we can look at some treatments.

Medications like clomiphene.

-Oh, what does that do?

-It stimulates ovulation.

(Emma) And it's also very important to try and stay relaxed.

A common cause of ovulation problems is stress.

I will need to see you again in two days so we can align the blood tests with your cycle.

I'll also be performing an ultrasound.

And, yes, Dr. Ellingham, I do realize that you could perform the ultrasound, but your job here is to be emotionally supportive.

And I believe you have an ovulation chart for me.

(Louisa) Yes, yep.

Thank you.

We were at school together.

Well, it's PC Joseph Penhale now.

(Nathan) You look great.

You've become The Man, man.

(Mags) You're here about the vandalism, then?

(Joe) Did they take anything?

(Mags) No, just the fencing, probably for firewood.

(Nathan) It's pretty uncool not to respect other people's property.

Any idea who did it?

(Joe) Probably teens mucking around.

Not much chance of finding out who did it unless you've got CCTV of the incident.

(Nathan) No.

Do you think they'll come back?

(Joe) It's worth getting some cameras to deter them.

Your security's pretty low-spec, to be honest.

(Mags) Well, I guess we'll do that, then.

Have you got the keys?

(Joe) So, what've you been up to since school?

(Nathan) Just living the life.

Went travelling, Indo, Oz, all over, really.

Riding waves, experiencing other cultures.

(Joe) Nice.

(Nathan) Then I met that beautiful girl, we swung back here for our next adventure.

-What about you?

-Yeah.

-Pretty much the same.

-Yeah?

(Joe) Yeah.

After Wadebridge, I moved to Delabole.

Got restless, you know?

Had the wanderlust and ended up in Portwenn.

So you wandered about eight miles?

(Joe) Not really the distance, it's more the experiences along the way.

(Nathan) Ah, that's beautiful.

Thank you.

(car horn beeping) (Mags) Nathan, we gotta go.

(Martin) Yeah, fine.

Take a seat, roll up your sleeve.

(Mags) Yeah.

(Nathan) It's a miracle, innit, Doc?

(Mags) I've been trying to relax more, like you said.

Stopped surfing and instructing.

-Stop talking.

-The way I see it, Doc, this is one of them moments you just gotta let nature take her course.

-Mm.

They've also been dying in childbirth for centuries.

(Mags) Yeah, a bit of heartburn.

(Martin) That's to be expected at 37 weeks.

Any headaches?

(Mags) Uh, maybe one or two, but no big ones.

I didn't think I'd be a worrier, but I am.

(Martin) What's wrong with your ear?

-Oh, nothing especially.

-He's got surfer's ear.

(Nathan) Most people who surf get it.

-Comes with the territory.

-Yeah, but tell him -it's getting worse, though.

-I'm not the patient here.

(Martin) Make an appointment.

We should continue to monitor you.

Your last test showed the presence of protein in your urine, and you're at risk of developing pre-eclampsia, which can be very serious.

It affects the blood supply of the unborn child.

(Nathan) The key words being "can be."

(Martin) It can also increase the risk of a stroke.

(Nathan) Again, "can" being the word, love.

It's not exactly likely, is it, Doc?

(Martin) It would be idiotic to ignore the possibility of complications, so I'll keep monitoring you, and if needs be, I'll hospitalize you.

They don't want to exclude her, though, so she was referred to me.

-Sorry.

Uh, straight to the point, good.

Pain in my legs, some numbness across the lower back.

I've been to a few doctors, the last one diagnosed spinal stenosis, said I'd need surgery.

-That's a drastic conclusion.

-That's what I thought, that's why I came to you.

I mean, I'd rather not go under the knife.

When did you first notice the symptoms?

(Dr. Mullen) A few months, on and off, but it's got worse lately.

(Martin) Lie back, raise your legs 90 degrees.

(grunting) -Describe the pain.

-Painful.

Sorry, uh, starts in the feet and calves, moves up towards the back and the backside.

Oh!

Your femoral pulse is weak.

I'll scan your arteries.

-Do you smoke?

-Used to.

Pack a day.

Gave up when the boys were born.

So, 10 years now since.

-Cholesterol?

-High.

(Martin) Impotence?

Is that relevant?

Of course it's relevant, why do you think I'm asking you?

I don't know, maybe it's your way of making polite conversation.

Do you suffer from impotence?

Yes, sometimes.

Well, more than I'd like.

(Martin) It's not spinal stenosis.

You have peripheral artery disease.

Your pain and your impotence are caused by a diminished blood supply, which is due to an accumulation of cholesterol plaques in your arteries.

(Dr. Mullen) That is amazing!

I've been to three doctors, not one of them thought to check my femoral pulse.

(Martin) I'll prescribe you a high dose of atorvastatin.

That should shrink the blockage, and that'll ease your symptoms.

We mustn't let the GMC fire you.

Why, are they're going to fire me?

No, no.

No firm decision has been made yet, but I'd say the prognosis isn't good.

I have been compliant.

But if you change your mind, I can help.

Enlarged red blood cells.

-Are you a very heavy drinker?

-No.

Why, should I start?

Macrocytosis is typically caused by excessive alcohol consumption or pernicious anemia.

Well, I must have pernicious anemia.

(Martin) It's a vitamin B-12 deficiency.

It would explain your tiredness.

Anybody else in your family suffer from it?

(Julia) Not that I know of.

Although we don't tend to sit around discussing our vitamin deficiencies.

It's a serious condition.

It's treatable, though.

I'll give you a B-12 shot.

You'll need an ongoing course of these for the foreseeable future.

(Julia) Out of curiosity, does it affect my fertility?

It's a major cause of infertility.

Once treated, though, you should be able to conceive.

-Are you trying for a baby?

-I'm considering my options.

Although, I am missing something.

-Yeah, what's that?

-A man.

(Martin) Take off your mac.

(mellow music) ♪ Al?

What are you doing?

(Al) Um... Street food.

-I thought you ran the pub.

-Well, I do.

But Caitlin sent me here and, well, -things escalated.

-Oh!

I can't keep up with you.

(Al) So, um... bendy carrot, wrinkled apple.

Unsellable, right?

But grate them into a bowl, toss them with some walnuts, what have you got?

-A basic Waldorf salad.

-Exactly.

And I am raking it in.

It's given me a pretty good idea for a business, actually.

Fresh and Frugal.

(Ruth) Very alliterative.

(Al) Yeah, you take nearly out of date but still edible food, you turn it into "street cuisine," and you serve it from a pop-up stall.

(Ruth) So, life gives you avocado, -you make guacamole.

-Exactly!

And the best bit about it, there's no real overheads.

The stock is free, there's no rent, and I serve it from recyclable plates and cutlery.

(Ruth) Well, I think you're gonna make a success of this business, Al, even if it is by the law of averages.

Oh, Morwenna!

(Morwenna) Is he giving you the pitch, then?

Fresh and Frugal, apparently.

(Al) I'll be in in a minute, Ruth.

(Morwenna) You look like you're having fun.

(Al) Yeah, week after week, pouring the same drinks in the pub, it's nice to get a little bit more creative, Morwenna.

How was your day?

(Morwenna) I sent out the wedding invitations.

Right, so there's no going back, then?

-No.

-Hmm.

(Morwenna) My beeper still hasn't gone off.

(Al) Well, stay positive.

Pretty soon, someone will have a heart attack or breathing difficulties or maybe even a seizure.

So, chin up, eh?

You know the tests they do at the clinic tomorrow will let us know if you have ovulated properly-- -Martin!

-I imagine after that, she'll want to do an analysis of my sperm.

(Louise) Martin.

-Hello.

-That's disgusting, talking about stuff like that.

(Louisa) Sam still can't drive, so I said they could wait here.

-I hope we're not in the way.

-No.

You know, one day, I'd like to go to Hawaii, the home of surfing.

Maybe catch a few waves.

(Nathan) Maybe this morning, we could work on you getting up on the board without falling over.

(Mags) You going out again?

(Nathan) I thought you were sleeping.

(Mags) Oh, no, I need some things picking up from the shops and the rubbish needs taking out.

(Nathan) No problem, I'm on it!

Soon as we get back from surfing.

(Mags) It's like living with a teenager.

(Nathan) Or I could do it now, yeah?

Yeah, it's a good idea, innit?

(Mags) Don't worry about it, it's okay.

Sorry, I've just got heartburn.

The best thing you could do now is give me some space.

-You sure?

-Yeah, go on.

Looking good, Joe.

(soft music) ♪ (groaning) ♪ (dogs barking) -No, go away.

-Doc!

Doc!

I was coming to see you.

Ally says she's gonna break up with me.

It's your fault, so, you've-- you've gotta Botox me.

-Make an appointment.

-I shaved like you said and everything, look.

(Martin) All right, put your shirt down.

Go in to the surgery and wait for me.

I have to take these to nursery.

Right, okay, Doc.

Thanks!

♪ -Oh.

-Is this what you call taking care of the store?

That's right, someone told me what you were up to.

I'm able to do both jobs at once.

And like you said, this produce was just going to waste.

(Caitlin) I'm in charge, Al.

You can't just do what you want anymore.

(Al) I understand that, I do.

But the way I see it, when a napkin cannot be used as a napkin any more, you can still dip it in soap and wipe the windows with it.

(Caitlin) Trial run.

Money goes in the till.

I take 60% of the cut.

Fifty, and I'll do the napkins for your wedding, gratis.

I can work with that.

(Bert) She's doing my head in, boy.

You've got to come back.

I don't know, Dad.

Freedom, fresh air.

It could be a while.

(Caitlin) Come on, we have to open up!

(Al) Go on.

Off you go.

What hurts worse, armpits or hands or elsewhere?

(Martin) I'll only be injecting your armpits today.

Your hands require a different type of treatment, using weak electric currents on the skin.

I will refer you to a dermatologist for that.

Other arm.

Well, if it's just in my armpits, why did I have to shave all my hair off?

(Martin) You didn't.

(Paul) Oh.

I shaved everywhere.

(Martin) Put your shirt back on.

Keep washing thoroughly.

The injections should last between six and 12 months.

The hair should grow back before then.

(Paul) If I'm honest, Doc, I'm quite enjoying the smoothness.

-Right.

-I might keep up with the manscaping.

You know, in some areas.

You can go.

Yeah.
