As he lies in the hospital, Charlie begins to flashback to his youth. We travel in his mind to the 1980s when he was applying for the job at Holby.

Hungover and late, Charlie is hosting a retirement party for nurse Shirley at his previous hospital. She tells him he has to pull his socks up if he wants the job at Holby.

He soon proves himself when a nail bomb explodes in London and he is called to action.
