Paterson Joseph Written by Harry Venning and David Ramsden Producer: Katie Tyrrell Clare Barker the social worker with all the politically correct jargon but none of the practical solutions is back. The Sony Award Winning comedy, Clare in the Community, returns with Sally Phillips as Clare Barker the social worker who secretly regards herself as a cross between Mother Theresa, Wonder Woman and Michelle Obama. Clare considers most other professions trivial. Like plenty before her, Clare Barker has entered a caring profession so that she can sort out other peoples' problems rather than deal with her own. She is in her mid thirties, white, middle class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes of discomfort to her.
