work equally as well with you.

If you stray more than

500 meters from the house

it calls my

mobile phone.

And if I take it off?

Oh, it breaks a circuit

and I get the call.

Night night.

[voiceover] Hate is like

a bacterial disease.

It grows exponentially

until it's eradicated.

[glass clinking]

Err, firstly, thank you all

so much for coming this evening.

Err, when I first started this

journey about five years ago

I had just moved from my home

in London to the countryside...

[Gabriel, voiceover] To my mind

he was the most talented artist

of his generation.

His work with

abstract imagery was unique.

My condition meant I experienced

his paintings very differently.

I often wondered

if anyone else understood

how incredible

his paintings sounded.

[soft music growing]

[music crescendos, stops]

Err, I did a year,

I couldn't stand the place.

Sorry?

Would you sign this for me?

Yeah, sure. Who is it for?

Me... to Gabriel.

I just love what you do,

I love your work.

It's a huge inspiration.

Well, why don't you buy one?

You get an autograph for free

at the bottom. [chuckles]

I'd love to. They're, um,

out of my league, unfortunately.

- Yeah.

- Thank you...

You know, I found this...

[Emma, voiceover] I'd honestly never

met anyone who ate quite so much.

His diabetes was getting worse and he was

having to take more and more insulin.

Emma!

Roger repulsed me.

Whenever I asked him about

finding a new assistant

he always mumbled some excuse or

another about the failing economy.

It was such bollocks.

He might not have been

the high profile artist

he was 30 years ago, but

paintings were still flying out.

I'm here now with Janet Davies who is

a victim of the D&P Bank collapse.

Now Janet, what has the bank actually

said to you about your pension?

Not a lot, I'm lucky if I can

speak to them at all.

If they don't collect the money then I

won't have a pension from next month.

It's obviously a story I think we're

going to be hearing a lot more about,

but, for now,

back to you in the studio.

Hello, Ma'am.

I'm Gabriel Lenard.

Bear with me, Lenard.

Director Martha Walker.

Call me Director or Walker,

I'm easy.

I apologize for my dress, I didn't

know that we'd be meeting today.

What?

Oh, I couldn't care less.

So, how did you fund

the Psychology Department?

It's unofficial.

I'm funding you out of my

personal entertaining budget.

So for the time being,

you're a department of one.

How long have I got

to bring in results?

Am I on probation?

Lenard,

we're all on probation.

If we don't give a good return on investment the

Home Office could shut us down by Christmas.
