Clare is tempting fate in a visit to 'Unlucky Louis'.

Clare is tempting fate in a visit to 'Unlucky Louis'. Brian and Thomas aren't allowed to join in with the street party. Starring Sally Phillips.

Clare's on a client visit to 'Unlucky Louis'. She doesn't believe in bad luck so it's going to be absolutely fine. Back at home, Brian and Thomas find themselves excluded from the neighbourhood street party.

Starring Sally Phillips as 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 thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her. 

We join Clare in her continued struggle 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.
