As Bert led them into Denton, Laura, Cosmo and Nation gasped. Ricky was right, Denton was now a huge TV set.
"This is where you will be working." Bert showed them into what seemed like a giant maze. The walls and floors were bright white. "Nation, Cosmo this will be your office."
Bert opened a door that looked like part of the wall. He led them into a fair sized room that contained a desk in the middle and was surrounded by filing cabinets. Nation smiled at Cosmo, she knew how he liked everything organised, this must be like heaven for him.
Bert led them around the maze showing them the different wards.
"What are the cages for?" Laura demanded.
"The mental patients, they can be a bit…crazy. It's for everyone's safety." Bert sniggered.
"Oh…" Laura giggled.
"This is the terminal ward for the most dangerous patients." A single circular cage stood in the centre of the room containing a wheelchair with a straight jacket draped over it labelled "Property of Dentonvale." "Last but not least here is the bathroom…and finally your rooms." Bert went down the corridor which led to the terminal ward. "Don't worry, the walls are completely sound proof so you won't be hearing any patients screaming out. Nation and Cosmo, will you be sharing a room?"
"Erm…yes. Yes we will."
Cosmo held Nation by the waist deciding he didn't care what Bert thought.
"Well, take your pick. This room is mine though."
Bert closed the door to the second closest room to the terminal ward.
"We'll take this one." Nation answered, picking the room closest to the ward.
"Laura, Ricky?"
Bert turned to them.
"We'll have this one." Laura answered quickly, picking the room furthest from Cosmo and Nation's.
They had been told the walls were sound proof but she wasn't sure if they could hide the sound of last night so she wanted as many of them between the two couples as possible.
"I'll leave you to unpack."
Bert turned and walked down the corridor and turned left remembering to use his stick at the last minute.
A couple of weeks later and they had already started recording programmes. It felt weird having an audience watching them filming.
Doctor Cosmo McKinley, as he was now called, had volunteered to design the outfits and came up with green dresses for the girls and a green top and trousers for him.
Doctor Nation McKinley had taken to wearing her hair up in a bun out of the way with her nurse's hat placed gently on top.
Laura had become a nurse so was called by her last name, Nurse Ansalong. She had left the top two buttons of her dress undone showing her cleavage. She had also persuaded Cosmo to make her dress short. She squealed with delight when she had tried it on and found it only just covered her backside. Like Nation she tied her hair up, this time into a long ponytail, her hat sat on top of it.
Ricky now worked in the rest home where patients went to recover from their treatment. He also wheeled the patients to the different wards and helped around Dentonvale. He wore a different uniform to the rest, a blue shirt tucked into smart black trousers. This was because he wasn't a nurse or doctor like the rest.
Dentonvale had over twenty patients now and was an extremely popular TV series.
