Blake recalls a Sunday ritual and the time his father wriggled out of a parking problem. Written and read by Blake Morrison.

Blake remembers reluctantly hosing his father Arthur's Mercedes car as a teenager.

And also, how his dad hoped he'd follow in his footsteps as a doctor.

Years later, Blake wanders round the house - which was his father's retirement project - whilst he lies in hospital...

Blake Morrison's award-winning tribute to his father - an irascible Yorkshire GP.

Abridged and read by Blake Morrison.

Producer: Di Speirs
