Clare in the CommunitySeries 3
Episode 1 of 6

The bossy social worker needs a new place to stay - and has an unusual, new pen pal. Stars Sally Phillips. From December 2006.

Needing a new place to stay, Clare goes house-hunting with Brian - and she has an unusual, new pen pal.

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.
