00:47you don't seem very pleased about it James
00:49I'm still not sure that Helen wants to come out with me
00:51well she accepted didn't she
00:52I don't think I gave her much chance to refuse
00:55really James you must have more confidence in yourself
00:57it's not a question of confidence
00:59I'm just not sure that the time is right
01:01that's all
01:02well you've taken the plunge now my boy
01:10so what's your plan
01:13plan
01:13yes plan
01:15now in my experience
01:17the first date with a woman is the make or break time
01:19it's the event that separates
01:21the winners from the also rands
01:23and you do want to succeed don't you James
01:25yes of course
01:26well success doesn't just happen you know
01:28it has to be planned
01:29have you decided where to take her
01:31well
01:32not yet
01:34believe me James
01:37you're headed for trouble
01:38if you persist in this casual attitude
01:40where do you suggest I take her then
01:41well it must be somewhere special
01:44somewhere she'll never forget
01:46you agree
01:47yes
01:47but Daraby doesn't exactly glitter with nightlife does it
01:50well forget Daraby
01:51now you take her out of town
01:53in fact James
01:55take her to the Reniston
01:56the Reniston
01:58it's only the most luxurious hotel outside of London
02:00aye
02:01take her to the dinner dance there
02:02it's a brilliant idea
02:04I don't think I can afford your brilliant ideas Tris
02:06say it cost you a packet so what
02:08at least Helen will know you're a man of some refinement
02:11not some yokel vet with carbolic in his veins
02:14quiet you pack of greedy muckmakers or you all stay hungry
02:19the sooner we get rid of that lot the better
02:23this whole experiment in home-raised bacon is a washout
02:26Siegfried thinks we should be self-sufficient
02:28oh well Siegfried is full of bright ideas
02:30he doesn't have to look after the greedy little victim
02:32turn
02:32I've got some driving for you
02:34oh that smell
02:37oh James when you're ready please
02:46Siegfried nailed up that sign
02:54and banged his thumb with a hammer
02:55if he catches you smoking in here
02:56if you my boy if
02:58Siegfried you see lacks the basic cunning
03:01you'll have to get up pretty early in the day to catch me
03:05ah ha caught you
03:07right little brother your tribulations are about to begin
03:10now let's see ah yes
03:12I think a thorough mucking out is called for
03:16but it's your turn to muck out
03:18not anymore you know the rules no smoking in the surgery
03:21what about you you're smoking aren't you
03:23it's an entirely different matter
03:25I'm simply passing through

03:59It's all right, Elfie, it's all right.
04:10Now, what are you doing all the way out here, eh?
04:12Hm?
04:13What are you doing all the way out here?
04:14You're lost, aren't you?
04:18Let me take a look at your paw.
04:20Let's go, Elfie.
04:26Come on, we better get those paws seen to.
04:28Up we go, Elfie.
04:30There we go.
04:31That's it.
04:33Come on.
04:46Well, he's a grand old dog, James.
04:49What on earth are we gonna do with him?
04:51Send him down to the police colonels, of course.
04:53But then if he's not claimed, we're back where we started, actually.
04:57Couldn't we ask around the practice?
04:59The trouble is, nobody seems to want a dog and there's one going spare.
05:03Exactly.
05:04He was dumped, wasn't he?
05:06Makes me so angry.
05:07I'll tell you who would take him in.
05:09Sister Rose from the Topley Banks Hospital.
05:11Sister Rose?
05:12They did a spread on her on the local rag.
05:15Something about her caring for stray animals in her spare time.
05:18Oh, dear Tristan.
05:19She's got up a sort of voluntary animal shelter, James.
05:23This should be right up her street.
05:25People are curious, aren't they?
05:27You've got tricky wood one end of the scale and this little blighter's the other.
05:31That's all I do.
05:32I give Sister Rose a bar straight away.
05:42There we go.
05:43Little Peggy's all in.
05:45He'll be as right as rain as soon as he slept it off.
05:49Tell me, James, have you spoken to Helen?
05:51I rang her this morning.
05:52The Reniston's on then?
05:54Yes.
05:55Atta boy!
05:56How did she react?
05:57Well, pretty oddly now I think of it.
05:59Kept asking if I was sure I wanted to go there.
06:01You see, she's impressed.
06:03That wasn't quite the feeling I got.
06:05More like she was questioning my sanity with very good reason.
06:08You realise this little doer is going to put me in hot for about a month's wages, don't you?
06:11So it cost your packet, so what?
06:13Just think of the fun you'll have.
06:15You and Helen full of lobster Thermidor,
06:17smoothing to all that oozy music.
06:20That reminds me, do I have to book for this dinner dance thing?
06:22No, no, no. You just turn up on the night.
06:23You'll need the right kind of gear there. Have you got some?
06:25Yes.
06:28I hope it's all right.
06:29I haven't worn it for years.
06:32Don't worry, my boy.
06:33Goodbye.
06:34I've got it made.
06:38Good morning.
06:45Is Mr Farnon in?
06:47He's a breakfast man.
06:49Could you tell him Sister Rose from the animal shelter is here, please?
06:52Oh, would you come in?
06:54Hey, I told you all, price of pig meat's gone up again.
06:56Cleverest thing we ever did, buying that litter of pigs.
06:59I take it you do not agree.
07:01You should try looking after them sometime.
07:03Oh, rubbish! Anybody but half a brain could come.
07:06Sister Rose to see you, Mr Farnon.
07:08Ah! It'll be for you, James.
07:09Uh-huh.
07:10Right.
07:12If you think that, why don't you look after them?
07:15The trouble with you, Tristan, is that you lack a positive approach.
07:28Good morning.
07:30Sister Rose?
07:32James Harriot.
07:33Oh, yes.
07:34Mr Farnon said you found the dog.
07:36Yes, he was sitting on the edge of the top road to Broughton.
07:38His pads are torn, but otherwise he's in fine shape.
07:41He had no identification?
07:42No, and we checked with the police. There was no report that he was missing.
07:45He certainly seems to be well looked after.
07:47Yes.
07:48There are no obvious signs of cruelty or neglect.
07:51Do you think you'll be able to find a home for it?
07:54Oh, I'm sure we will.
07:55At least we'll have a jolly good try at it.
07:58With all your work at the hospital, it amazes me that you find time to cope with stray animals.
08:02Someone has to do it, Mr Harriot.
08:04In my case, it started when I found a pregnant bitch who'd been dumped from a moving car.
08:12Finding homes for the puppies, I suppose people came to assume that I was in the business for waifs and strains.
08:17And once involved with simply no going back.
08:19But how on earth do you manage to feed them all?
08:21Oh, I run little dog shows, coffee mornings, jumble sales, anything to bring in a little extra cash.
08:27Even so, it can't be easy.
08:29Well, my charges do have a habit of munching themselves into the red.
08:33But we manage.
08:34I'm very grateful to you for taking him in.
08:37Come on, healthy.
08:41Up we go.
08:42That's it.
08:44Pip.
08:46I think I'll call him Pip, Mr Harriot.
08:49It helps if they have a name.
08:52Pip, Pip, Pip.
08:56Right, you little pipsqueak.
08:59Time we were off.
09:00I hope you manage to find a home for him.
09:02I'm sure we'll have no trouble.
09:03Goodbye, Mr Harriot.
09:04Goodbye.
09:06Perfect.
09:07Perfect.
09:08The wretched thing doesn't fit.
09:09It's too late to hallow one.
09:11Nonsense.
09:12You look marvelous.
09:16My word, James, you look out for the kill tonight.
09:18Know what I know?
09:19He's giving Helen Alderson a whirl.
09:23That's what all those secret confabs with little brother here were about.
09:27I approve, James.
09:29But be warned.
09:30Many are called but few are chosen with that particular young lady.
09:33Thank you for those few encouraging words, Sigrid.
09:35Well, I must be off.
09:36Promised mother I'd look in tonight.
09:38Good luck, James.
09:40Well, I better be off too, Triss.
09:41Have you got everything?
09:42Cash for tips, cheque book?
09:43Yes, everything.
09:44Now remember, it's confidence, assurance, but above all, boldness.
09:47And the day, not the night, is yours.
09:49I only wish the...
09:50Hello, Helen.
09:51I'm not too early.
09:52I'm not too early, am I?
09:53No, of course not.
09:54What a wretched evening.
09:55Yes!
09:56Where shall we go?
09:57I'm sorry.
09:58I'm sorry.
09:59I'm not too early, am I?
10:00No, of course not.
10:01What a wretched evening!
10:02Yes!
10:03Where shall we go?
10:05I'm sorry.
10:06Yes, of course.
10:07I'm not too early, am I?
10:09No, of course not.
10:10What a wretched evening.
10:15Yes!
10:16Where shall we go?
10:18I'm sorry, yes, of course.
10:23a wretched evening I'm sorry of course

13:15Good evening.
13:19Good evening.
13:29How are the shoes?
13:31Fine, fine.
13:33They pinched us to try for, but they're fine.
13:37Well at least they're dry.
13:39It's very odd, but we seem to be the only people here in evening clothes.
13:45Waiter,
13:47we'd like to book for the dinner dance, please.
13:49Dinner dance?
13:51You must be mistaken, sir.
13:53Dinner dances do not commence until September,
13:55unless by special arrangements.
13:59But Tristan said...
14:05It doesn't matter, James.
14:07Your table is very good.
14:09At least we can eat.
14:11You do want to eat, don't you? We might as well.
14:13You do want to stay?
14:15Certainly, if I'm still invited.
14:17Yes.
14:19Yes, of course.
14:21Thank you very much.
14:25Siegfried!
14:27James!
14:29See you, Helen.
14:31Hello, Mr. Martin.
14:32How are you?
14:33You look absolutely devastated.
14:34You watch out for this,
14:35canny young Scots colleague of mine.
14:36Still waters run deep, you know.
14:38My word, James,
14:39isn't earthy wearing on your feet.
14:41It's a long story.
14:43Well, I mustn't dawdle.
14:45I promised to look in on mother.
14:47So, have the most enormous fun.
14:52What an extraordinary chance seeing you.
14:53Jill, come with me.
14:54I'll tell you what we'll do.
14:56Have a drink, why don't you?
14:59Shall we go in?
15:04There we are.
15:08You booked, sir?
15:09No, I'm sorry.
15:10We'd like a table for two, please.
15:12You are staying, sir.
15:14Staying?
15:15Yes.
15:16Yes, we're staying, aren't we?
15:17Yes.
15:18This way, sir.
15:39Your room number, if you please, sir.
15:40Room number?
15:41You are staying, sir.
15:42Oh!
15:43That's staying.
15:44No, we're staying to eat, that is.
15:45Not staying.
15:46No.
15:47Perhaps you would care to order, sir?
15:49Yes.
15:50Well, let's see.
16:09yours, I believe, sir.
16:23It's too painful, Triss.
16:24Really?
16:25I just don't want to talk about it.
16:26You're rubbish!
16:27Of course you do.
16:28Now tell me what went wrong.
16:29Just about everything.
16:30But it was a perfectly planned and executed offensive.
16:32It was a disaster.
16:33I shouldn't have asked her out.
16:35Then let's examine what went wrong.
16:37Now tell me,
16:39how did you part when you took her home?
16:41Somewhat silently.
16:42Well, not even a goodnight kiss.
16:44I can remember a handshake.
16:45A handshake?
16:47James, this is 1937.
16:49Handshakes went out with a Gladstone bag.
16:51Let's just face it, Tristan.
16:52She doesn't fancy me.
16:53It's as bad as that.
16:54Worst union non-existent dinner dances.
16:56We mustn't brood, must we?
16:57I just want to forget all about it.
16:59Well, so you shall.
17:00I personally shall see to it.
17:04How?
17:05Just leave it to me.
17:06What on earth is all that?
17:08Siegfried's inspecting her hand-reared bakery.
17:11Bust them!
17:13Siegfried?
17:14What have I done?
17:15What the hell do you think you're doing sitting around in here while I'm outside?
17:17They're being trampled to death by you pigs.
17:19Oh, my pigs?
17:20What happened?
17:21They're gone.
17:22Stampeded.
17:23Running wild.
17:24Even now, savaging the inhabitants of Dallaby.
17:27That's what happens.
17:28It's tiny.
17:29Mine?
17:30I have not moved from here all morning.
17:31Exactly!
17:32You should have been out there!
17:34But they're your pigs.
17:35You bought them.
17:36In that case, I shall un-buy them.
17:37Now get out there and get them back.
17:39And when you've done that, sell the lot!
17:42With pleasure.
17:43Come on.
17:44Come on.
17:45Come on.
17:46Come on.
17:47Come on.
17:48Come on.
17:49Come on.
17:50Come on.
17:51Come on.
17:52What are you doing, James?
17:53Don't be silly.
17:54James?
17:55Mm-hmm.
17:56You know the gypsy encampment down by the river?
17:57Yes.
17:58I want you to get out there as soon as you're finished up here.
17:59There's a pony needs looking at.
18:00You're much better with horses than I am, Siegfried.
18:02Yes, I've never got too much on.
18:03And this seems urgent.
18:04The chap's name is Milet.
18:05Now make absolutely sure that you get paid.
18:07These chaps are never in the same place two days running.
18:08Fair enough.
18:09Oh, you're not.
18:10You're not.
18:11I'm not.
18:12I'm not.
18:13I'm not.
18:14I'm not.
18:15I'm not.
18:16I'm not.
18:17I'm not.
18:18I'm not.
18:19I'm not.
18:20I'm not.
18:21I'm not.
18:22I'm not.
18:23I'm not.
18:24I'm not.
18:25I'm not.
18:26I'm not.
18:27I'm not.
18:28I'm not.
18:29I'm not.
18:40Something wrong, Siegfried?
18:41Don't help us, James.
18:42You have the faintest idea how much that stuff costs per foot.
18:46That dusting powder you're so generously chucking about there must be half a pound inside that dog.
18:50I'm sorry, Siegfried.
18:51I was just doing what I thought was right.
18:52Yes, of course you are.
18:54And don't think I don't appreciate it, James, but one of these days you're going to have your own practice.
18:58And then you'll very soon learn about the economic side of things.
19:02So be a good fella and watch it.
19:05Right?
19:06Yes?
19:07Good.
19:14Mrs. Hall!
19:18Hello, Alan.
19:19Hello there, Jill.
19:20Can you open the gate, please?
19:29Where's the door here, is the same?
19:30Do you have any trouble?
19:31You're not.
19:32You're not.
19:33I'm not.
19:34OK.
19:37Where's the door here, is the same?
19:38It's not a good one.
19:39Only one.
19:40No, I'm not.
19:41Good.
19:42Good.
19:44Good.
19:45Good.
19:46Good.
19:47Good.
19:48Good.
19:49Good.
19:50Good.
19:51Good.
19:52Good.
19:53Good.
19:54Good.
19:55Good.
19:56Good.
19:57aye. James Herriot. I believe you have a sick pony here.
20:01you'll be the vet then. that's right.
20:07thanks. thanks Mr. Myers. now may I see the pony please? over in paddock.
20:27I'll see you next time.
21:27Let's see if we can get it a move.
21:57All right, leave it.
22:09I'll give them a shot of something to ease the pain.
22:10I'll give them a shot of something to ease the pain.
22:40Yes, sir.
22:46We'll do what we can for him.
23:18Oh, little pigs, they grunt and howl.
23:30The dogs bow while the cats meow.
23:32Everybody makes a row down on Jolotie farm.
23:36Do you sound happy?
23:40It's a glorious day, James.
23:42The very last supper for that pack of evil mutt makers.
23:44Oh, they're going then?
23:45Yes, it's all arranged.
23:46They're on a one-way trip to the bacon factory.
23:48Life here won't be the same without them.
23:50James, please.
23:52It really is for the best.
23:53Yes, I know.
23:54But somehow, I'll miss them.
23:56Won't you?
23:57Yes.
23:58Still, domestic harmony is one thing and bacon quite another.
24:01And ne'er the twain shall meet.
24:07Oh, by the way, before I forget,
24:09it's all fixed up for Saturday night.
24:11What's all fixed up?
24:12You are.
24:13We all are.
24:14We're going to that young farmer's dance at Poulton.
24:16Now, wait a minute.
24:17What's all this we business?
24:18You know Brenda?
24:19Well, the nurse you knock around with, yes?
24:21I fixed you up with her mate, Connie.
24:22A blind date? Forget it.
24:24Oh, stop flapping.
24:26Believe me James, it's just what you need.
24:28There's no sense in mooning about over Helen.
24:30Are you sure I'm a boy?
24:32Others are keen even if she's not.
24:34Besides, you're like Connie.
24:36She's heard all about you and she's raring to go.
24:39Oh.
24:40What's she like?
24:41Wait and see.
24:44Right, you greedy pigs.
24:46For the last time, come and get it.
24:49Come and get it!
25:06From Myatt?
25:08Oh, that's very good.
25:13He's a nice bloke, Siegfried.
25:15Mm-hmm.
25:16Very concerned about his animal.
25:18What's the trouble?
25:19It's the worst case of laminitis I've ever seen.
25:22Couldn't move the pony at all and it's obviously going through hell.
25:25Acute laminitis? Not much hope then.
25:27Oh, we tried all the usual things but didn't make any difference, damn it.
25:31Even if it survives the acute stage,
25:33it's bound to end up with deformed feet, grooved hooves, dropped soles, a lot.
25:36Yes, of course it did.
25:37I wish to God there was something we could do.
25:39Well, till the present state of our knowledge improves, I'm afraid there isn't very much.
25:44I was hoping that you could do something, Siegfried.
25:46Oh?
25:47You do have a special way with horses.
25:52When are you going out again?
25:53Tomorrow.
25:54Mm-hmm.
25:57Well, there is one thing I could try.
26:00What's that?
26:02Ah, that and I'll tell you, he'll probably disapprove.
26:04Huh!
26:05PHONE RINGS
26:09Yes, I hate just my hand.
26:10Right, let's stand the things right here.
26:13That'll be 85.
26:16Oh, aye, Sister Rose.
26:18Well, you won't lie and I'll see if I can find him.
26:21All right, don't you get out of the room?
26:24Mr Elliot, Sister Rose, I'm folding for you.
26:27Oh.
26:28Take it for you, would you just please?
26:29Right you are.
26:30Oh!
26:33What is this, Siegfried?
26:34Your own Animal Inquisition kit?
26:36I belong to Grant, my predecessor.
26:40Not much call for this sort of thing.
26:42Any scientific days?
26:48There.
26:49A fleam, Siegfried?
26:51You're not gonna bleed minds, Pony.
26:52That sort of treatment went out with the Ark.
26:53No, no, no, James.
26:54Don't knock me about the head.
26:57You said yourself the usual treatments hadn't worked.
27:01Have you ever used this sort of thing before?
27:03Yes, Mr Trice.
27:04And?
27:05Well...
27:06There's no telling what may happen, but curious things can
27:11when you use this little outfit.
27:13Thanks.
27:17Sister Rose is very upset, James.
27:20What's wrong?
27:21That stray dog you found.
27:22Well, she's been keeping it in the house.
27:24And today I've found an open window.
27:25Oh, no.
27:26Well, I told her we'd alert the local people to keep their eyes open, all right?
27:29Poor little beggar.
27:31Never mind, James.
27:32Can't win them all.
27:34Just have to see what we can do with Myatt's Pony.
27:37Any change, Mr Myers?
27:51No, no change.
27:52Well, let's have a look at him, shall we?
27:54Shall we?
27:59Ah, uh...
28:16Hello, you two.
28:17Hello, Mr. Myatt.
28:18Let's see what we can do.
28:26The rope, James.
28:47Take a hand of that, will ya?
28:48Mm-hmm.
28:54Tighten the rope, James.
28:58Ah, shit.
29:00There we go, there we go.
29:02Ah, shit.
29:03Come on, there we go.
29:04Ah, shit.
29:05Come on, there we go.
29:06Ah, shit.
29:09Come on, there we go.
29:11Oh, shit.
29:12Come on, there we go.
29:13oh
29:23back on the rope
29:29is that it? that's it
29:32doesn't seem to have made any difference
29:35well it'll take a little while to work
29:37if it works
29:39it's in the lap of the gods now
29:41aye
29:43stitch it up if you please James
30:11what the devil are you up to James? up to? what do you mean? messing about with little bits of gear like that
30:13you mean my new economy measures
30:15economy? are you out of your mind?
30:17here get out of the way
30:19here get out of the way
30:21what the devil are you up to James? up to? what do you mean? messing about with
30:39little bits of gear like that. you mean my new economy measures. economy? you out of
30:43your mind? yeah get out of the way
30:51you out of the way
31:08button wall
32:29Sorry to push you out like that, James, but honestly, you were like an old hen fussing about with those piddling amounts of materials.
32:36Siegfried, you said quite clearly...
32:38No excuses, James. Believe me, in this game you have to operate with, well, with a certain amount of panache.
32:45Good point. Siegfried, cast your mind back to our conversation and the surgery when you...
32:48No mind about the past, James. It's the future that we're interested in.
32:51You Scots, I don't know. I know you have an obsession about thrift.
32:58But there are limits.
33:02You're impossible.
33:03You're impossible.
33:33Good evening, Mr. Elliott. Have a good day.
33:36Awful, thank you, Mrs. Hall.
33:37Sorry about that.
33:39You're back, ladies, James.
33:41Let's just say it's been one of those days.
33:42I have a bone to pick with Siegfried about some so-called docile cows he sent me to see.
33:49Where is he?
33:51I'm still in the surgery.
33:54Anyway, you all set for tomorrow night?
33:56Tomorrow night?
33:57Yes, tomorrow night.
33:59Saturday, remember?
34:00Oh, yes.
34:01It's the dance, isn't it?
34:03You sure it's a good idea, Triss?
34:05Well, you can't back out now.
34:07Girls would have my guts for garters.
34:08Yes, I suppose, sir.
34:10Marvellous.
34:13I say, James, you're not still mooning about over Helen, are you?
34:17Well, she hasn't entirely been out of my mind.
34:19Put it down to experience.
34:21You know she's got another bloke, don't you?
34:23Richard Edmondson.
34:24Yes.
34:25Well, I've seen her together a couple of times.
34:26She's never indicated he's anything special.
34:28You know, a lot of people have predicted those two might make a go of it one of these days.
34:31No, I didn't, though.
34:32Well, certainly Helen's father would like to see things move in that direction.
34:36Old Edmondson's filthy rich, you know.
34:37Well, you can't blame him for that.
34:39Well, I only remind you so that forewarned is forearmed, so to speak.
34:42Cheers.
34:43I didn't think that anyone as attractive as Helen could be footloose and fancy free.
34:48Cheers.
34:48Cheers.
34:48Hello, Mr. Myers.
35:12Just thought we'd say goodbye, Mr. Harriet.
35:14We're leaving now.
35:15How's the pony?
35:16He's still a bit stiff, but he's on men.
35:18Good.
35:19Me and children would like to thank you both for what you did.
35:24Thank you, sir.
35:30Thank you, sir.
35:33Good luck.
35:44I've lost that pony, but for you, Siegfried.
35:46I hadn't a clue how I did work.
35:48But it worked.
35:49Well, all good vets are really witch doctors at heart, you know.
36:01He'll be much better now, Mrs. Halroyd.
36:03There you are, Billy boy.
36:04It's time you were going home.
36:05It's time you were going home.
36:08Bye-bye.
36:09Thank you so much.
36:10Thank you so much.
36:11One more case change.
36:12Couple called Fenderly.
36:13We'll show him interest.
36:14Then he can go.
36:15Mr. and Mrs. Fenderly.
36:16Yes.
36:17Come in, please.
36:18Oh, thank you.
36:20I won't give you a moment.
36:22Well, you're not Mr. Fenderly.
36:23Mr. and Mrs. Fenderly.
36:24Yes.
36:25Come in, please.
36:26Oh, thank you.
36:28I won't give you a moment.
36:30I won't give you a moment.
36:36Well, you're not Mr. Farnon, Mr. Secret Farnon, are you?
36:39James Harriot, his junior colleague.
36:40My dear.
36:41Well, we'd rather hope to see Mr. Farnon in person.
36:45I'm afraid Mr. Farnon's out on morning calls.
36:47Can I help?
36:48I take it you are properly qualified, Mr. Harriot.
36:50Of course.
36:51It's just that we want the best advice for our dog here, you see.
36:55Well, let's see what we can do.
36:57Come on, boy.
36:58Up here.
36:59There we go.
37:00That's a good dog.
37:06Well, he seems to be in very good condition.
37:08We'd like you to give him a most thorough check-up, Mr. Harriot.
37:12Have you had him long?
37:13Oh, just a matter of some days.
37:15That's why we're here.
37:16You see, I have to confess, my wife and I have never owned an animal before.
37:20May I ask where you got him?
37:22Locally, Mr. Harriot.
37:23Now, if I may continue, I believe in doing things thoroughly.
37:26Yes.
37:27And with that view in mind, I've made a few notes on the subject of dog keeping.
37:30Now, number one, yes, would you please diagnose the brown mark on his abdomen?
37:36Oh, that's nothing.
37:37Just a patch of pigmentation, Mr. Pendleith.
37:41Number two, kindly inoculate against distemper and associated diseases.
37:48He has already been inoculated.
37:50And how pray do you come to that conclusion?
37:53I did it myself not five days ago.
37:57I think I should tell you both that I do know this dog.
37:59I see.
38:01Then you will know that we took him in as a stray.
38:03Oh, yes. And I know where he strayed from.
38:05Do you?
38:06I told you, my dear.
38:08He was bound to belong to someone.
38:10Mr. Harriot, my wife and I are childless.
38:13And now that we're both pensioned off, so to speak,
38:16well, we had it in mind to buy a dog of our own.
38:19Then this little chap came along.
38:22He found us, Mr. Harriot.
38:24Followed us home on our walk.
38:26To be quite frank, we've become rather fond of him.
38:29So much so that we were prepared to keep him.
38:31But of course it's absurd.
38:32He must be returned to his owners.
38:34You agree, my dear?
38:36Would you both like to keep him?
38:39But you just said...
38:40No, I said that I knew where he'd strayed from.
38:42That's not absolutely true.
38:43You see, before he strayed, this dog, Pip,
38:46he was in an animal shelter.
38:48And he was in fact looking for a home.
38:50Oh, dear.
38:51He'll find one with us, Mr. Harriot.
38:53You have my word on it.
38:54Well, we'll have to clear it the Sister Rose at the animal shelter.
38:57But I'm sure she'll be very happy to let you have him.
38:59Oh, dear.
39:02Oh, dear.
39:16Mr. Harriot?
39:18James?
39:20Oh.
39:23Hello.
39:24Hello.
39:25I wanted to ring a thank you for our night out.
39:28I thought you might want to forget about it.
39:30It was great fun.
39:31Oh, really?
39:32Of course.
39:35It had its moments of disaster, though, didn't it?
39:37Too many.
39:45How's the work?
39:46Oh, fine.
39:47As if I don't think the local people would agree.
39:49Yes.
39:50They take a bit of getting used to, don't they?
39:52Yes.
39:53Well, I'd better be off.
39:56Thank you again, James.
39:58Oh, Helen?
39:59Yes?
40:00Perhaps we could do it again sometime.
40:04Go out, I mean.
40:05That would be lovely.
40:06Goodbye, James.
40:07Goodbye, Helen.
40:08Goodbye, Helen.
40:09Goodbye, Helen.
40:11Goodbye, Helen.
40:12Goodbye, Helen.
40:13Goodbye, Helen.
40:14Goodbye, Helen.
40:15Good-bye, James.
40:17Good-bye, Helen.
40:19.
40:32Now, good-bye.
40:42All right.
40:43Now, this isn't the dance hall.
40:46This establishment is the home of the finest draught ale in your house.
40:49Trissie!
40:51Could you show me where the ladies is?
40:53Oh, the ladies, yes.
40:54Now, it's through that door.
40:56You turn left in the first large field you come to.
40:59Off you go. We'll set them up.
41:01Come on, Connie.
41:04Well, James, what do you think?
41:06Well, she's a bit, um, a bit overpowering, isn't she?
41:09Generous is the word I'd choose, James, both in proportion and inclination.
41:13Sit down. I'll order the drinks.
41:14Right.
41:16Now, then, Mr. Farnon, are you very well?
41:18Never better, Mr. Worry.
41:19Perhaps you'll be kind enough to bring us two pints and two halves of your best.
41:23Right off, Mr. Farnon.
41:25Evening, gents.
41:26Evening.
41:26How do you do?
41:27Prepare yourself for the experience of a lifetime.
41:30Oh, well.
41:33Ah, find what you wanted, ladies.
41:36It's the biggest, coldest lab in the world out there.
41:41Mrs. told me all about you, James.
41:44Nothing too drastic, I hope.
41:45But he didn't tell me you were shy.
41:48Shy?
41:51Why, James, that's fast work.
41:54You look after my girlfriend, James, area.
41:57You'll get what for?
41:58Oh, rather.
41:59Oh, nice.
42:00Try that, then, Mr. Farnon.
42:10You, Mr. Worry, are an artist.
42:26I salute you, and keep them coming, if you please.
42:41I'll see you inside, Richard.
42:59Lovely.
42:59Okay.
43:00Okay.
43:00Because you're coming.
43:02There you go.
43:04Okay.
43:04Bye-bye.
43:05Okay.
43:36What are you staring at?
43:41You.
43:41What's so special about me?
43:43You're beautiful.
43:44No, you are.
