While Clare hates mutual back-slapping as much as the next person, she uses all her powers of manipulation to influence the matter.... 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.
