Barrie, who's 78, is rushed to St George's with breathing difficulties. His wife Irene is with him. Barrie has been in A&E a few times in recent months with chest problems and is also suffering from dementia. While doctors carry out further tests, Irene talks about how they desperately wanted children, but found out that they couldn't.
