TUE Since the last series, society itself has improved little, TUE so there are still plenty of challenges out there for an TUE involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare. TUE A control freak, Clare Barker likes nothing better than TUE interfering in other people's lives on both a professional TUE and personal basis. Clare is in her thirties, white, middle TUE class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes TUE of discomfort to her. Each week we join Clare in her TUE continued struggle to control both her professional and TUE private life. TUE The last series saw the personal and professional lives of TUE Clare's team shaken around and shuffled about, but it is in TUE the nature of hell to be unchanging, and most are present TUE and correct for a further round of frustration, despair, TUE disappointment, team meetings and eleven o'clock cakes at TUE the Sparrowhawk Family Centre. TUE We find Clare is now Acting Team Leader at the Family Centre TUE as Irene has job swapped. And whilst Irene is in Melbourne TUE the team here are joined by Libby - an Aussie and a lezzie - TUE and proud to be both. TUE The Sony Judges said: "A completely engaging narrative, TUE beautifully observed characters and lots of very funny TUE material. A radio sit-com which pleasingly stresses the TUE 'com' rather than the 'sit'." TUE Cast TUE Clare ..... Sally Phillips TUE Brian ..... Alex Lowe TUE Ray ..... Richard Lumsden TUE Helen .....
