It's D-Day for The Mill as the surgery practice partners get ready to give their pitch for the Campus Surgery contract on Doctors (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

Zara Carmichael (played by Elisabeth Dermot Walsh) and Bear Sylvester (Dex Lee) are trying to stay positive after finding out from Suni Bulsara (Rahul Arya) about competing medical company, Trelawney Wells.

Trelawney Wells have some BIG money behind their bid.

But they are planning to move the surgery off Campus if they win the contract.

So Zara, Bear and Suni have a plan to put the case forward for continued quick and easy access to local medical services.

At the University of Letherbridge, Zara, Bear and Suni face stern board members including Myrna Fitzwilliam (Tracy Collier).

Suni starts his pitch with a joke... that goes down like a lead balloon!

As Myrna asks Suni some tough questions, he begins to stumble...

Will it all go from bad to WORSE from there?
