Please help... think I'm going mad! Possible spoilers

I think I'm going crazy... I've got and have watched the dvd box set many times... and that's the problem!
When I was a student living in halls about three/four years back I couldn't sleep and was channel hoping about one in the morning... as you do... I am really sure I found an episode that I hadn't seen before and that I've since discovered isn't in the box set... at the time I just thought that it must be the third series that I hadn't seen yet, but now I don't seem to be able to find any reference to a third series and am beginning to suspect my own sanity!
I can't remember that much about it (it was after all a sleepless night at one in the morning... that may be normal for students but it wasn't for me) All I remember is that it was definitely after Tony and Bren were officially together... and it was officially after he'd had all the treatment for cancer... which kinda implies that it must have been after the second series... thus my problem... I remember there being quite a lot to do with Anita in it, possibly with the baby or similar, but I'm not sure! if anyone knows anything about this please help cos I'm slowly going nutty! Was it an xmas special or something?

Hi is it the millenium one you're thinkin of? Where Anita leaves a baby for Bren on the fire escape? Also where Phillipa says : "Never mind your coffee, get in the bloody, bloody, bloody frigging car!" Very funny episode.

i thought it was gamble because the canteen staff are on about there 50 quid wen bren and tony get together and they walk in together and they all think something has happend, i think it was called gamble im nto sure. Is it the one where steve breaks his leg (holiday) maybe ill check it out for u and get back to u on it

Hi it sounds like either Millenium or Christine, more than likely Chritine as there was quite a bit of reference in that episode to do with Anita and she brought her baby in to show everyone and Bren and Tony were very much together then.

Are you sure it's not on the boxset? The baby episode is on my boxset (I have the double one).

I will admit that years back before I had the dvds and had to rely on repeats on tv I thought there were three series but then discovered that season 2 had 10 episodes whilst season 1 only had 6. Maybe that's why you're confused?
