Further details
Medical woes and am-dram awkwardness are Richard Pritchard's dilemmas in this episode.
Worried about his dad's heath, Richard battles officious receptionists - and a stubborn Ken - to get a same-day appointment with Doctor Roach. Easier said than done.
Later, Richard gets all star struck when he learns his acting idol, Lydia Bartlett, is in Forres filming. But you know what they say about meeting your idols...
When Emily suggests Richard imparts his acting wisdom to the local am-dram group he's delighted but happiness soon turns to humiliation with hilarious results.
