Three women, all living with and pregnant by the same man, come to The Mill for check-ups, in today's visit to Doctors. After discovering her baby's father is now having an affair with his junior clerk, one of the women confesses she's unhappy with the situation. This revelation leads to emotions running high in all three women, and then their waters break!
Meanwhile, Jimmi is feeling agitated in court as it's his turn to take the witness stand and he doesn't want to let Vivien down. Although Jimmi delivers a glowing character reference for Vivien, the defence lawyer attempts to discredit him as a witness on the grounds that he is Vivien's friend and colleague.
All hopes rest on Ryan and Lee's grandfather, who is giving evidence for the prosecution. Although he believes his grandsons are guilty, it's soon apparent that he holds a grudge against the boys' mother and his asides make his evidence admissible for the case. The closing arguments offer little comfort, and Jimmi, Ronnie and Vivien leave feeling despondent.
Back at the surgery, posters go up advertising for volunteers for the drugs trial.
Jimmi is played by Adrian Lewis Morgan, Vivien by Anita Carey and Ronnie by Sean Gleeson.

Angellica Bell (pictured)
introduces the young
candidates to their guest
mentor – Ann Widdecombe MP The candidates have now been whittled down, with just six remaining, and this week they learn all about debating. Presenter Angellica Bell introduces their guest mentor, one of the most formidable politicians in the country with a reputation for debating skills that leave her adversaries in the shade – Ann Widdecombe MP.
Before setting the teams their Test Of Skills, Ann talks to the candidates about why it's so important for a politician to be able to deal with hostile questioning. She then begins the week's skills test, interrogating them with tricky questions, armed with sneaky ammunition and anecdotes from parents. Can the kids spin her insider information to their advantage?
Now warmed up and with a tool kit of new skills, the teams set off to BBC Television Centre for a Newsnight debate, hosted by Emily Maitlis. Four candidates sit in the Newsnight studio with Emily, while their other two team members are in the gallery on talkback shouting pointers and background information into the earpieces of their team-mates.
Emily and the Newsnight editorial team then decide which team of candidates is the strongest, but judge Jonathan Dimbleby has been observing it all and makes the final decision about whose campaign is over.

The Dorrits make their triumphant departure from the Marshalsea, while Arthur looks on in the knowledge that he may never see them again, as the Dickensian drama continues. Mr Dorrit has instructed that the friendship with Arthur be brought to an end as he wants to leave the past, and everyone in it, behind him.
Mr Dorrit wastes no time in employing that paragon of social virtue, Mrs General, to offer instruction in etiquette to his daughters. Mrs General suggests that the family goes on a Grand Tour and, before they know it, the Dorrits have left the country. Amy, however, doesn't leave without ensuring that her friends – the poverty-stricken Plornishes and Maggy – are well-provided for and everyone, especially Arthur, and even the cold-hearted Mrs Clennam, reflects on how much they will miss her.
The first person that the Dorrits encounter on their Grand Tour is Rigaud, who is travelling with the newly-wed Gowans. Much to Amy's discomfort, the alarming Frenchman seems to take a special interest in her...
Matthew Macfadyen is Arthur Clennam, Tom Courtenay is William Dorrit, Pam Ferris is Mrs General, Claire Foy is Amy Dorrit, Rosie Cavaliero is Mrs Plornish, Jason Watkins is Mr Plornish, Eve Myles is Maggy, Judy Parfitt is Mrs Clennam, Andy Serkis is Rigaud, and Georgia King and Alex Wyndham are Pet and Henry Gowan.

Martin Shaw plays Father Jacob, a priest working to promote candidates for sainthood, who becomes drawn in to exorcism as he discovers a dark battle between good and evil – a battle that threatens the future of the human race itself.
As the supernatural drama continues, Jacob's exorcism of Liam has been answered with the butchery of his friend, Vimal. Michael confesses to the crime but Jacob knows this homeless man was not responsible. Jacob realises the police will never accept "possession" as a defence, so an innocent man will be put away as a psychopathic murderer and the demon will be free to kill again.
The race is on to find Michael before the police do. Even while Jacob tries to save Michael, the demon inside Michael taunts him. He wants to teach Jacob about the horrors of Hell. The demon is intent on exorcising Jacob and converting him to Satanism. If Jacob refuses to listen, his friends will suffer.
Detective Rachel sees Jacob as an obstacle to her investigation – he's a priest who thinks psychopaths should be exorcised instead of locked up. Jacob's boss, Cardinal Bukovak, encourages her view of Jacob as a maverick. Liam reluctantly agrees to help Jacob in his search for Michael – he knows that Jacob could have brought in the police when he himself was possessed and threatened Donna. Michael's demon responds by threatening to return to Liam and continuing to taunt Jacob, this time with the revelation about his best friend and mentor, Monsignor Vincenzo...
Martin Shaw is Father Jacob; Shaun Dooley is Liam; Elyes Gabel is Vimal; Rick Warden is Michael; Stephanie Street is Detective Rachel; John Shrapnel is Cardinal Bukovak; Romy Irving is Donna; and Luigi Diberti is Monsignor Vincenzo.

This week's big question facing the Gastronuts is: "Is There More To Fish Than Cod?", as the series that sets out to discover the truth about how we eat, what we eat and where it comes from continues.
Fish and chips is a great British institution, but why do people only seem to eat cod and precious few other varieties? Stefan Gates takes his intrepid team of Gastronuts on a culinary adventure to sample the scariest fish the ocean has to offer, fish so fresh it's actually raw, and to have a go at fishing for, gutting and cooking their very own fishy dishes.
