Brenda's Birthday
The bossy social worker is coerced into organising a children's party. Stars Sally Phillips and Alex Lowe. From January 2007.
Clare is coerced into helping Megan organise her one-year-old daughter's birthday party.
Sally Phillips is Clare Barker the social worker who has all the right jargon but never a practical solution.
A control freak, Clare likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis. Clare is in her 30s, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.
Clare continually struggles to control both her professional and private life
In today's Big Society there are plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare.
Written by Harry Venning and David Ramsden.
