Dentist to the Stars

Ben and Roger hug

Episode: 10

First Aired 28th May 2004

Susan is bored with her choice of career. She wants a change. Roger pops into Ben's surgery and is ecstatic to discover that Ben has a famous patient, Colin Judd. Ben hasn't a clue who he is, and decries actors in general - some of Colin's parts in particular. Roger pops in to get his chest autographed and Ben finally realizes who Colin is. Much to Ben's amazement, Colin is still prepared to return for more treatment, and he cancels his previous bookings to squeeze his 'famous' patient in.

Michael has rented out the toilet facilities to a local film crew down the road, but when Abi says there was a strange man in the bathroom Michael passes him off as Ben! Michael is revising as Ben comes home and tells them all about his famous patient.

Susan is a real fan. She has also been sacked. She is now going to study hard to pass the exam to get her old job back so she can resign. Susan decides to swot at the kitchen table with Michael, when Ben wants his breakfast. Michael won't move the books so Ben does it and manages to put his back out in the process. Susan gives Roger a call to tell him he will have to take Ben's patients today, including Colin Judd. Ben has to spend the day on the sofa.

Studying at the table with Michael, Susan manages to be a total distraction, whilst also refusing Ben any help. Roger comes round to gloat about his famous patient and tells Ben he has been taken out to lunch by Colin, where he sat at the next table to Jude Law - and he did his teeth too! Colin also gave him two tickets to a studio party to which Janey promptly invites herself.

Roger tells Ben he has Colin, Jude and also Kevin Spacey dropping in the next day. Ben is determined he is going to work the next day to reclaim his clients. As Roger leaves, more film crew members are queuing up to pay Michael to use the loo.

The next day Michael wheels Ben into the surgery, strapped to a trolley. Susan is helping as the dental nurse. Colin decides to go up to Roger even though he caused chaos at the celebrity party. Susan goes off to help Colin, and Ben falls to the floor.

The next day, the fall has mended Ben's back, but caused him to have a bad head. When Colin arrives to see how Ben is doing he explains about Roger and his glove puppets and says that he would rather go back to Ben. Abi comes in with an article which announces "Colin's breath stinks says Ben Harper". Colin gets very upset and starts to leave, but decides that he needs the toilet first. Michael charges him £50.00 for the privilege. Roger has lost all his celebrity patients, therefore Janey has lost all interest in Roger.

Susan comes home elated after passing her exam by cheating. The film crew are still filming in the area and a stunt man races through the lounge and flings himself out through the window.
