 Julia (Diane Keen) wonders if
the new campus surgery will
be ready in time Ronnie and Eva take part in a radio debate on modern policing, in today's episode of the medical drama. Naturally, they have differing views on all the topics they cover – women in the police, the Human Rights Bill, the DNA database, etc – but, when the discussion turns to a recent case, they begin to find common ground.
Off air, Ronnie tells Eva that he's back with George and they're working on it, but it's been tough. When Ronnie asks her about Jimmi, she says she's missing him, but Ronnie doesn't believe her when she says he'll soon be out of sight, out of mind, when she's transferred from Letherbridge and it'll be for the best.
Meanwhile, at the new campus surgery, Julia and Ruth are having trouble with the wisecracking painters, leaving Julia to wonder if it will be ready in time for opening. Despite herself, Julia manages to become entwined in a father-son discussion about the son's lack of ambition. After managing to reconcile the two men, she breathes a sigh of relief as things finally seem to be looking up.
Ronnie is played by Sean Gleeson, Eva by Angela Lonsdale, George by Stirling Gallacher, Jimmi by Adrian Lewis Morgan, Julia by Diane Keen and Ruth by Selina Chilton.

The case against Stavva is building – he's now the police's major suspect – as the daytime drama set in an Australian beach resort continues.
Stavva is shocked to discover that the car he was driving was used in the murder. DS Wilson informs Stavva that the victim's blood was found on his clothes, but Stavva protests that the blood was a result of an altercation earlier in the evening. As the case against Stavva is building, the police believe he had the means, but question his motivation.
Poppy's partner, Peta, arrives in town with a splash and is thrown in at the deep end, using her legal skills to assist Addo in working out exactly what happened to him on his lost night.
Meanwhile, Poppy takes the plunge and outs herself to her grandmother, Olive. Olive's response is to go straight into denial, leaving a very disappointed Poppy.
Elsewhere, Bec realises that Stephen's offer to move his life to Sydney to be with her is a large and heartfelt gesture. Wary, but still in love, she makes a decision to risk it and the two begin the journey back to coupledom. Then DS Wilson calls Bec into the station after discovering that she sent the victim a threatening message only 45 minutes prior to his murder.
Stavva is played by Ryan Johnson, DS Wilson by Shane Withington, Poppy by Katherine Hicks, Peta by Daisy Betts, Addo by Daniel Henshall, Olive by Maggie Dence, Bec by Renai Caruso and Stephen by John Atkinson.

James Taylor hosts a night of programming on BBC Four.
The night features Taylor's autobiographical solo concert, One Man Band, a repeat of Hotel California – LA From The Byrds To The Eagles and a 1971 performance from the BBC archive. Throughout the night, there are excerpts from an exclusive interview with the singer/songwriter in which he talks about how he got into folk music, London in the late Sixties and how The Beatles gave him a helping hand. He also tells of the high times in Los Angeles in the Seventies and shows viewers how anybody can play virtuoso blues guitar.
James Taylor is a musical legend who has sold over 40 million albums and won five Grammy Awards. As part of this evening, BBC Four screens One Man Band – James Taylor, an intimate retrospective of 40 years' worth of his songs and the people, places and events that inspired them.
One Man Band tells the story of Taylor's songs through exclusive interviews and rare, multi-media footage – including home movies and photographs from Taylor's personal archives. The result is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind portrait of an artist, his renowned repertoire and the personal stories behind the songs.
The film also showcases music from Taylor's recent concerts at the Colonial Theatre in the Berkshires and features new performances from some of the iconic singer/songwriter's most loved recordings, including Something In The Way and Carolina On My Mind, interspersed with Taylor's insightful and humorous anecdotes on the inspiration for the songs.
The documentary Hotel California – LA From The Byrds To The Eagles was first shown on BBC Four in 2006 and charts the music and mythology of a golden era in Californian culture. Viewers see how the socially-conscious folk rock of hippie boys and girls with acoustic guitars was transformed into the coked-out stadium excess of the late Seventies and the best-selling album of all time.
Alongside extensive and never-before-seen archive footage, the programme features the first-hand accounts of the key figures, including musicians David Crosby, Graham Nash,
JD Souther, Bernie Leadon, Bonnie Raitt, Andrew Gold and Mark Volman.
The evening ends with James Taylor In Concert – A BBC Concert From 1971.
