麻豆约拍

Clare encounters an old friend (but can't remember who she is) and tries to match-make.

It's Brian's birthday and Clare has bought him a pair of tracksuit bottoms and is organising a dinner...

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.
