Characters: Adam, Brian, Helen, Jennifer, Kate, Pat

• Jennifer is really excited that Phoebe is applying for PPE at Oxford. She’s been researching colleges for her. Kate then arrives to demand to know which building she can have for her therapy centre and Brian is rather surprised to hear her talking about planning permission. He says she must talk to Adam.
