Romantic Brian is plotting to surprise Clare on holiday. 

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.

In today's Big Society there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare.
