goodgoalie, also @ 23.27; Bradley Walsh is there to counter-balance the northern accent of the doctor with his cockernese accent. Such as when he turned to his wife, and said, "Beehive, Grace". At least, that's what it sounded like. By the way, there were 6 main characters in the plot, 3 white and 3 black.
