We Need To Talk About Brian
Preparing to move house - the bossy social worker makes a disturbing discovery. Stars Sally Phillips. From January 2007.
Clare prepares to move to a new home with Brian - until a disturbing discovery she makes while packing forces her to question the decision.
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.
