Rude Girl

Is Clare linguistically out of touch with today's youth? – and Brian fails to impress. Stars Sally Phillips. From October 2011.

Social Worker Clare Barker is concerned she may be linguistically out of touch with today's youth.

Brian fails to impress Clare with numerous romantic gestures.

A Heating Engineer causes a stir in the Family Centre and Megan causes chaos.

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 thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.

Each week we join Clare in her continued struggle 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.
