The Long Goodbye
Celebrating Ray's civil partnership, drunk Brian learns a lot during the speeches. Stars Sally Philips. From February 2008.
Ray's colleagues celebrate his civil partnership and Brian reassesses his life after his not-very-near-death experience.
Sally Phillips is Clare Barker the social worker who has all the right jargon but never a practical solution.
A control freak, Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis. Clare is in her 30s, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.
Clare continually struggles to control both her professional and private life.
In today's Big Society there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare.
Written by Harry Venning and David Ramsden.
