Clare In The Community

Product Description

Like plenty before her social worker Clare Barker has entered a caring profession so that she can sort out other peoples problems rather than deal with her own. A control freak Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other peoples lives on both a professional & personal basis while at the same time finding it a trial having to put up with tiresome members of the public. Politically correct humourless & prone to jargon she is entirely lacking in self-awareness making her encounters with colleagues family & her partner Brian wonderfully entertaining & richly comic. In these six episodes Clare babysits a friends child loses sleep due to the upstairs neighbours noisy sex life & calls round to her colleague Rays house unannounced
- only to be shocked by what she finds. She also attends a hated clients funeral (to get the afternoon off work) takes driving lessons from her partner Brian & organises a works outing to see a performance of Brians play.
