Paterson Joseph Written by Harry Venning and David Ramsden Producer: Katie Tyrrell The Sony Award Winning comedy, Clare in the Community, returns with Sally Phillips as Clare Barker the social worker with all the politically correct jargon but none of the practical solutions. Like plenty before her, Clare, 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. A control freak, Clare Barker likes nothing better than interfering in other people's lives on both a professional and personal basis and in a society where there are still plenty of challenges out there for an involved, caring social worker. Or even Clare. Each week we join Clare in her continued struggle to control both her professional and private life. The Sony Judges said: "A completely engaging narrative, beautifully observed characters and lots of very funny material. A radio sit-com which pleasingly stresses the 'com' rather than the 'sit'.".
