From BBC Radio 4 as part of limelight, this is The Dentist.

Kerry's in a dead-end job with a dead-end partner.

I'm 42. I've done nothing with my life.

I've gone backwards in school. I basically lived a miserable life of serfdom and poverty. I was completely stuck in quicksand. Anytime I attempted to get out, I just got sucked further and further down and then I was pregnant by you. Well, I can't help but feel a bit attacked there. I am attacking you. You are the quicksangbob.

When something unexpected happens to her identical twin.

Oh, sorry, sorry, oh God. Oh, God. Are you dead?

You're dead, aren't you?

This is classic layer and behaviour.

Oh, God, oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, you're dead. You're really dead.

So Kerry makes a snap decision to steal her sister's identity, a decision she hasn't quite thought

through. Are you all right? Perhaps you could just hold my hand today. Like, I have never studied

dentistry and I'm completely busking. Jazz dentistry.

Jazz dentistry. Yeah. A decision that plunges her into a world she can't control.

He didn't seem to be breathing. No, he's breathing. He isn't breathing. He isn't breathing.

Oh shit. Can we do CPR?

Do you know CPR? No, why don't you know CPR? Where she's pursued by police? I see you. He killed your dad, he killed your sister, and I'm going to get them to dig up your mom and see if you killed her too. I think you're a murderer and a bent dentist. And by a notorious gangster. Inside me, there is a businessman. Of course there is. You are the Cash and Carrie King.

But there is also a madman.

Right.

But Bob's got a secret.

What's wife life, Bob?

What? I don't know, nothing.
