Sid Vere (played by Ashley Rice) is desperate to try and reconnect with his brother Laurence Richards (Rishard Beckett) on Doctors (1.45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Sid has been a bad big brother of late and keeps cancelling plans with Laurence.

So Laurence's adoptive mum Eileen Richards (Rachel Atkins) has put her foot down and threatened to stop Sid from seeing Laurence unless he gets his act together!

Sid is determined to get back in Eileen's good books and re establish his relationship with Laurence by attending Laurence's sponsored bike ride.

But Sid also unexpectedly finds himself forming a closer bond with Eileen, after he opens up to her about the reason why he's been in a bad place of late following the death of his boxing buddy, Lewis earlier this year.

It seems Eileen is not such a dragon after all!

The sponsored bike ride also includes a silent auction.

Laurence bids on a parachute jump and, much to Eileen's horror, he wins it!

Since the parachute adventure is for TWO people, WHO will join Laurence for the jump?
