Ruth is suffering from terrible toothache when she arrives at work and Julia insists that she makes an emergency appointment with her dentist, as the medical drama continues.

 

Julia and George later discuss the need to get a new doctor and partner as soon as they can to replace Joe and Nick. Julia tells George she's interviewing Doctor Heston Carter, who used to be a surgeon but who wants to move into general surgery. He's very flamboyant, but effortlessly charms Julia – who, to her surprise, ends up offering him the job and partnership on the spot.

 

Ronnie, meanwhile, calls Eva and tells her that Jimmi knows that she is undercover. When Eva angrily hangs up, she sees Jack and Liam interviewing Poppy to do some "jobs" for them around the estate.

 

Ruth is played by Selina Chilton, Julia by Diane Keen, George by Stirling Gallacher, Doctor Heston Carter by Owen Brenman, Ronnie by Sean Gleeson, Eva by Angela Lonsdale, Jack by guest star James Gaddas and Poppy by guest star Kerrie Hayes.

British tailoring – from Savile Row to Paul Smith and Tommy Nutter to Ozwald Boateng – goes under the fashion spotlight tonight, as BBC Two continues to fly the flag for British design.

 

Tonight's programme delves into the history of tailoring and Savile Row, tracing its roots in military and aristocratic dress, and featuring contributions from Paul Smith; Ozwald Boeteng; Timothy Everest; Michael Caine; Roger Moore; Edward Sexton; John Pearse; Twiggy; Salman Rushdie; and Richard James.

 

The film shows how tailoring is a story of elegant craftsmanship. Honed in the workshops of Savile Row tailors including Henry Poole, Anderson & Sheppard and Timothy Everest, it describes the process of creating a bespoke suit – from the 40 separate measurements that create a blueprint of the wearer's body to the painstaking weeks of cutting, stitching and fitting that go into making a suit unique to the wearer.

 

Paul Smith is a household name in Japan and British Style Genius traces the growth of his business from its humble beginnings in Nottingham back in the early Seventies to the global brand it is today, with over 200 shops in Japan alone.

 

The film follows Smith on one of his many trips to Japan where he explains the enduring appeal of his "classics with a twist" formula, and how an interest in tailoring, combined with a love of all things colourful, eccentric and distinctively British, is at the heart of his clothing.

 

High-street retailer Burton was founded in 1900 and, in its heyday, clothed a third of the male population of Britain. British Style Genius meets the company's Brand Director, who reveals plans to revive Burton's classic styles with a Heritage line of clothing.

 

The programme also looks at the some of the greatest style icons in men's fashion – from James Bond in the Sixties and Twiggy's Tommy Nutter suits in the Seventies to "Cool Britannia's" young tailors such as Ozwald Boateng, Richard James and Timothy Everest in the Nineties.
