Matthew tells his father that the economy in the area is complex, and they should be investing and expanding rather than getting out, in order to create employment and apprenticeship opportunities. His father says this is "idealistic bilge" and that Matthew has "never done a day's graft" in his life.
You can watch the full testy exchange in the clip here.
The synopsis for the upcoming episode tells us the following about this storyline: "When Matthew’s father, Sir Brigham, visits Poplar, relations between father and son are somewhat frosty at best. Matthew’s opinion of Poplar is markedly different from his father’s, as he has grown fond of the area and its residents over recent years.
"Matthew wants to invest more money in the borough, whereas Sir Brigham wants to sell up. With relations at an all-time low, Trixie (Helen George) is left to deliver Matthew some heartbreaking news."
Elsewhere in the episode, Nancy deals with a new father whose behaviour starts to raise concerns as it becomes increasingly erratic, and Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) and Sister Veronica (Rebecca Gethings) arrange a men’s health talk at the surgery to discuss male contraception and the vasectomy.
