00:00I don't know
00:30No better I see.
00:58Oh real stinking of a cold this one.
01:02I'd take it easy if I were you Seyfried.
01:04Yes I'd be too. It's bad news for you I'm afraid.
01:07But you'll have to carry the whole burden yourself James.
01:10That's no great problem providing the visiting list is reasonable.
01:13Well there it is.
01:15Oh yes thanks.
01:20Two herds to inoculate, three castrations, seven post-operative examinations.
01:25Seyfried I don't have a coat with this lot.
01:29Don't dramatize James they're just in and out jobs.
01:32Be a piece of cake you'll see.
01:34What about surgery?
01:35Don't worry about that.
01:37You've fitted in so well.
01:40Morning.
01:41Morning.
01:42How's the cold Seyfried?
01:43If one could rely on certain parties to do their fair share of their work one's cold might be better.
01:48I might not even have a cold at all.
01:50Now it's not my fault you're in an unhealthy state.
01:52And if one could sit in a room without it being foul with tobacco smoke.
01:56Now you smoke too you know in fact we all smoke in this house.
01:58No I don't.
01:59Not anymore.
02:00Filthy habit.
02:01Oh I see.
02:02The fanatical zeal of the ex-smoker.
02:03Oh go on poison your body.
02:05Stunt your growth.
02:08Kill yourself for all I care.
02:11I'll go.
02:12No you won't let him.
02:14You've got your visits to prepare.
02:16Hello Tristan.
02:17Is James Herriot in?
02:18Yes of course.
02:19I'll fetch him Helen.
02:21Psst James.
02:22What?
02:23What?
02:24Who is that?
02:25It's her.
02:26Helen Orleson.
02:27Helen?
02:28Hmm.
02:29Hmm.
02:30She wants to see you.
02:31Well what are you waiting for?
02:32It's a bit embarrassing isn't it?
02:33After that dancing the other night.
02:34The last time she saw me I was so pie-eyed I couldn't stand.
02:35Oh go on get in there.
02:37Oh go on get in there.
02:38Oh yeah.
02:39I'm sorry.
02:40Oh no.
02:41I'm sorry.
02:42Oh no.
02:43Oh no.
02:44Oh no.
02:45Oh no.
02:46Oh no.
02:47Oh no.
02:48Oh no.
02:49Oh no.
02:50Oh no.
02:51Oh no.
02:52Oh no.
02:53Oh no.
02:54Oh no.
02:55Oh no.
02:56Oh no.
02:57Oh no.
02:58Oh no.
02:59Oh no.
03:00Oh no.
03:01Oh no.
03:02Oh no.
03:03Oh no.
03:04Oh no.
03:05Wait.
03:06Just back from the laundry.
03:07Right.
03:08You're not marvelous.
03:09Immaculate young surgeon.
03:12Perfect.
03:13Now wait.
03:14I'll show her in.
03:20Mr. Herriot will see you now Miss Orleson.
03:23Come on.
03:30Thank you Tristan.
03:32You sure I don't need any help?
03:34Well if I do I'll call.
03:36Excuse me.
03:44Hello Herne.
03:45Hello James.
03:47It's Dan.
03:48He jumped over a wall this morning and I think he's hurt himself rather badly.
03:53Right let's have him up on the table shall we?
03:57Come on Dan.
03:59Up we go.
04:00That's it.
04:01That's a good dog.
04:02I hope it's nothing serious.
04:03He's as much a pet as a working dog.
04:06Good dog.
04:07I'm afraid he has a dislocated hip Helen.
04:22It's nasty.
04:24Still with luck I should be able to put it back.
04:26And if you can't?
04:27He'd have to form a false joint and on top of that he'd be lame for months.
04:30The fact that you brought him in so promptly means he has a very good chance.
04:33I'll get Tristan.
04:36It's a bit of a two man job.
04:38Oh couldn't I help?
04:40Well I'm not sure you'd like playing tug of war with Dan in the middle.
04:43Oh I'm quite strong and not a bit squeamish.
04:48Alright.
04:50You slip on a coat and we'll get to it.
04:55I'm gonna use Nembutal.
04:57It's a new American drug.
04:59It's alright.
05:00Knock him out in seconds.
05:02Now sit.
05:05Did you enjoy the dance last Saturday?
05:08Well I'm surprised to see you there.
05:10Why you do remember?
05:12Of course I remember.
05:14Not a very pleasant memory either considering the state I was in.
05:17You seem to be having a nice time.
05:19How's Connie?
05:20Oh Connie?
05:21Oh I don't know.
05:23Well that was the first and last time we met.
05:25You're having me on aren't you?
05:29Just a bit.
05:30Well come on.
05:31We've got work to do.
05:32Whatever you say James.
05:38Duce you up to Tristford.
05:39Shh.
05:42It's Kate Oliver.
05:44It's James and Helen.
05:45You make your job look so easy.
05:49Have you noticed outpoles man?
05:54I imagined it would be more difficult.
05:55Come away Tristan.
06:00Thank you James.
06:02That was a wonderful piece of work.
06:04I had a good assistant.
06:08Helen.
06:09Yes.
06:10Remember when we had dinner that time you said that you were interested in Scotland?
06:13Yes.
06:14Well I was passing the plaza the other day.
06:16They are showing a film about the Hebrides.
06:18Oh really?
06:19The point is I was wondering...
06:22Well I thought perhaps you might like to see it with me.
06:26That would be lovely.
06:27When?
06:30Well I thought maybe Friday evening?
06:33Fine.
06:34I'll see you then.
06:37Good.
06:38I'll get down into the car.
06:40I'll open the door.
06:58Good morning.
06:59Don't keep waiting long.
07:09Oh Mr Farnham will you?
07:11Mr Harriet they're back to lunch.
07:12No thanks Mrs Hall.
07:13We give it a miss today.
07:14Just as you like.
07:17Who's first on the list?
07:18Dorbys I think.
07:20Yes.
07:21Do you know them James?
07:22No.
07:23Heard you mentioned them though.
07:24You like them.
07:25Grand little family.
07:27My God the struggles they've had to survive.
07:29Convict sentenced to hard labour couldn't have had it worse than that.
07:32It amazes me the way some of these hill farmers might as well stick it out.
07:35Pride James.
07:36Sheer stubborn pride that refuses to quit.
07:39We think we know these people.
07:40We think we can understand their problems.
07:43Sympathise with their hardships.
07:44But we can't.
07:45We only see what they want us to see.
07:49The cheerful smiles.
07:50The cups of tea.
07:51The food they offer us.
07:52Which means they go without.
07:53Be sure of that.
07:55They're a breed apart.
07:56We can't begin to understand the frightening day-to-day reality of their lives.
08:02Tell you James.
08:03The Brake Softies like us in no time.
08:06You like the Dorbys don't you?
08:07Yes they possess an exceptional quality.
08:11The unbreakable human spirit.
08:14Anyway.
08:15Seems that their efforts have met with some reward.
08:17Billy Dorbys managed to scrape enough money together to get himself some decent pounds at last.
08:21So.
08:22Have a load of them.
08:23Right.
08:24Oh no.
08:25Come on you.
08:26Come on.
08:27Come on.
08:28Come on.
08:29Come on.
08:30Come on.
08:31Hello Charlie.
08:32Hello Mr. Fanon.

09:07There's a good...
09:09Mr. Fanon.
09:10Hello Billy.
09:11Hi.
09:12Mr Farley! Hello Billy. Mrs Dorby. Morning Mr Farley. I say William you've grown some.
09:22Soon be able to put your father out to grass don't you? You'll take a mug of tea and some
09:25pie with us won't you? No not today Mrs Dorby we haven't got much time you see. Now you don't
09:30know my assistant Mr Herriot. We're pleased to meet you Mr Herriot. How do you do Mrs Dorby?
09:35Mr Herriot? Mr Dorby. I've looked at those cars they are a fine lot aren't they? And they're all ours
09:40Mr Farley. Off you go lad. Give Charlie a hand to get the money for Mr Farley. Yes dad.
09:45Try Mr Farley. Bye William. I'll see you in a moment. The lad doesn't know whether he's coming or going. Us getting that herd
09:53were like giving him all his Christmas presents rolled into one. Ain't that so Billy?
09:57I'm sure we all feel a bit the same lass. Anyway Mr Farley it's kind of you to drop by. Not a bit of it Billy.
10:03We'll take a closer look at those cars and then Mr Herriot can come out later and give them a test.
10:07I'll come with you. No need to do that? I'd prefer it if you don't mind. I mean it's the first chance
10:14I've had to show them off kind of thing. What a good idea. On we go.
10:21I'll take these out. Mr Herriot. Next time you'll share a pot of tea with us I hope.
10:27I'll look forward to that Mrs Dolby. Good.
10:40James have you read this article about Raines Abbey? Yeah what about it?
10:43Well this chap here writes that several monks were massacred there in the 14th century.
10:47So I've got a pen. Hmm well it means that there's an historical basis for the ghost that's supposed to haunt the place.
10:56Ghost? I know you. The cowled monk. Ghost of Raines Abbey.
11:02Rot and superstition Tristan? Just people with overheated imaginations.
11:05Ah you may scoff. Remember what Shakespeare said?
11:09There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than anyone might...
11:15Don't talk rubbish Tristan. Anyway I'm off.
11:18Oh? Yes. I've got a date with Helen actually. I've taken her to the plaza.
11:23Hmm.
11:24Have I said something wrong? No.
11:28It's just...
11:29Well the plaza James is hardly very enterprising is it?
11:32Ah enterprise.
11:33Now I tried enterprise Tristan and I took her to that dinner dance remember?
11:36And it was a shambles.
11:38So tonight I play safe.
11:40Well you'll find nowhere safer than Darraby Plaza I assure you.
11:43Good.
11:44A nice quiet evening.
11:45No disasters.
11:47Just a job.
11:49Bye.
11:54Four strong men sat round a table and there was peace in Europe.
12:00Four strong men return home.
12:18Cartoon seats. Last three minutes.
12:20The triple are on buildings and jam-packed streets.
12:25Excuse me.
12:28Excuse me.
12:33Aye hop there veteran.
12:36Hello it's the new house.
12:38Oh.
12:39Aye.
12:41Aye you having a night out then are you?
12:44Aye.
12:45No hanky-panky Mark.
12:47He's dead.
12:48Dead?
12:49Aye.
12:50I don't think it went out to do with her stomach neither.
12:53I'm sorry to hear that Mr.
12:54I'm sorry right from start you on the wrong track.
13:07You're right from start you on the wrong track.
13:15I'm sorry to hear that, mister. And you're right from start, you're on the wrong track.
13:36I've been around beach nigh on 40 years.
13:39And it never goes like that when it's the stomach. You don't say.
13:42For one thing, a beast with a bad stomach is all as hearted in muck.
13:46And you think back, young fella, this one's muck was soft.
13:50It was right soft.
14:12Oh!
14:16Oh!
14:18Is that a jockey?
14:20Oh!
14:32Arizona guns?
14:34What's happening?
14:36This can't be set in Scotland.
14:38They sometimes change the films here without letting anyone know.
14:41Nobody seems to mind.
14:43Well, I do.
14:48Hey, watch it! Watch it!
14:50Watch it!
14:52You all right, Helen?
14:56Good morning, Mrs. Hall.
14:57Morning.
14:58That looks good. Shall I try some?
14:59No!
15:00Yes, of course, Mr. Cranford.
15:01Well, if it's what you say it is, there'll be no problem, will there?
15:02Morning.
15:03Morning, James.
15:04Hello.
15:05Morning, James.
15:06Yes, I'll look out sometime this afternoon.
15:07Morning, Mrs. Hall.
15:08Morning.
15:09Well, how did it go last night?
15:10Oh, fine.
15:11Fine.
15:12You mean Helen actually enjoyed the plaza?
15:13One of the best nights she's spent in years, so she says.
15:14Will you stop that?
15:15It went out again last night.
15:16Out again?
15:17What was it?
15:18The ghost of Wren's Abbey.
15:19Oh!
15:20Oh!
15:21Oh!
15:22Oh!
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh!
15:25Oh!
15:26Oh!
15:27Oh!
15:28Oh!
15:29Oh!
15:30Oh!
15:31Oh!
15:32Oh!
15:33Oh!
15:34Oh!
15:35Oh!
15:36Oh!
15:37Oh!
15:38Oh!
15:39Oh!
15:40Tom Weatherby and his missus were up that way, that's where they saw it.
15:42They probably imagined it, Mrs. Hall.
15:44You see, James, there must be something to it.
15:45Well, you wouldn't catch me up there at that time of night, I'll tell them.
15:48James, what are you all doing in here?
15:50James, I want you to add Isaac Cranford to your afternoon visits.
15:53Isaac Cranford?
15:54Yeah, he's one of the big landowners around here.
15:56Sour old devil.
15:57Tight as a drum skin with his breasts.
15:59What's his problem?
16:00He says one of his beasts has been struck by lightning.
16:03Have a look at it.
16:04If it's true, sign a certificate of insurance for him, will you?
16:07I don't remember a storm in the last few days, do you?
16:09Well, you can't turn until you've seen it, can you?
16:12Oh.
16:13Be on your guard, James.
16:14He's a cunning old devil.
16:15Mrs. Hall!
16:16Yeah.
16:17Have you got any of those brown leather book places?
16:19Aye, and that cobbled top shelf.
16:21Good.
16:22Thank you very much.
16:23That's what I want.
16:24You'll find his place up beyond Raines Abbey.
16:27Who knows, James.
16:28Might even get to see the monk.
16:30Monk or monk?
16:32I was telling James about the ghost of Raines Abbey.
16:35Don't talk balderdash, Tristan.
16:37What have I said to you about smoking?
16:40This is only my second today.
16:42That is a downright lie to a fourth or fifth to my certain knowledge.
16:45Like I said, lightning.
16:46I can't agree, Mr. Cranford.
16:48This beast died in convulsion.
16:49You can see where its feet kicked up the grass.
16:50Aye.
16:51Convulsions.
16:52But if a lightning, what caused it?
16:53I doubt it.
16:54If it had, this beast would have died without a struggle.
16:55I've seen many a beast struck by lightning, veterinary.
16:56Not all the same, you know.
16:57I think we should do a post-mortem just to make sure, Mr. Cranford.
16:58Aye.
16:59Aye.
17:00Aye.
17:01Aye.
17:02Aye.
17:03Aye.
17:04Aye.
17:05Aye.
17:06Aye.
17:07Aye.
17:08Aye.
17:09Aye.
17:10Aye.
17:11Aye.
17:12Aye.
17:13Aye.
17:14Aye.
17:15Aye.
17:16Aye.
17:17Aye.
17:18Aye.
17:19Aye.
17:20Aye.
17:22Aye.
17:23Aye.
17:24Aye.
17:25Aye.
17:26Aye.
17:27Aye.
17:28Aye.
17:29Aye.
17:30Aye.
17:31Aye.
17:32Aye.
17:33Aye.
17:34Aye.
17:35Aye.
17:36Aye.
17:37Aye.
17:38Aye.
17:39Aye.
17:40Aye.
17:41Aye.
17:42Aye.
17:43Aye.
17:44Aye.
17:45Aye.
17:46Aye.
17:47Aye.
17:48Aye.
17:49Aye.
17:50Aye.
17:51Aye.
17:52Aye.
17:53I don't know.
18:23I don't know.
18:53I don't know.
19:23Damn ghost, Mrs. I forbid the subject mentioned in this house again.
19:27That goes for you too, Mrs. Hall.
19:28It's a free country.
19:30Or it would be.
19:31If there weren't so many little Mr. Rittlers hereabouts.
19:35What did you say?
19:38Now, you see what you've done?
19:39Me?
19:40Encouraging ridiculous superstitions in that poor woman.
19:42You are not to upset Mrs. Hall, Tristan.
19:47Come on.
20:02Stagnation at lungs.
20:04Knew it as soon as I saw it.
20:05What the hell are you talking about?
20:08Stagnation at lungs, Mr. Cranford.
20:11You can always tell by looking in the eye and lay it there along back.
20:14Shut your stupid mouth, Malick.
20:15You know not about it.
20:16That beast was struck by lightning.
20:19You'd best remember that.
20:20Can we get it inside, Mr. Malick?
20:21It ain't black rot nor gallstones what killed it, Mr. Herriot.
20:26Who ask you?
20:27You can't mistake stagnation at lungs, Mr. Cranford.
20:31Stagnation of lungs?
20:31Right, Mr. Malick, let's get it inside, shall we?
20:36Aye, right.
20:51Thanks, Mr. Malick.
21:17That's what killed it, Mr. Cranford.
21:21What am I supposed to do with this?
21:24Read it, Mr. Cranford.
21:27But I know what killed that beast.
21:30Your beast out of acute heart failure, Mr. Cranford.
21:33It's all in there.
21:35It's my £80 insurance money I'm thinking about, veterinary.
21:38I'm sorry, it died of natural causes.
21:41You'll have to carry the loss, I'm afraid.
21:51Now, look, Mr. Herriot.
21:55We're, uh...
21:56both men of the world,
21:58and you know as well as I do
22:01that the insurance company can stand the loss better than me.
22:05Besides, they, uh...
22:06they wouldn't know, would they?
22:09I would, Mr. Cranford.
22:11Well, that's, uh...
22:12not going to bother the insurance company, is it?
22:14No, but it would bother me.
22:17Now, come on, man.
22:18Say it, we're lightning, and that's an end to it.
22:19I can't do that, Mr. Cranford, and that's final.
22:22I see.
22:24Well, I'll not let the matter stop there.
22:26Your boss is going to hear about this,
22:27trying to tell me it were heart failure
22:29and all the time it were lightning.
22:30You know nowt about stock, Mr. Jumped Up,
22:33hitting the re-nout.
22:35Was what I said it was, Mr. Cranford.
22:37Stagnation at lungs,
22:39caused by poisoning blood,
22:40getting back into it body, then...
22:41Shut your grey gumph, Moloch!
22:44It was lightning what killed my beast.
22:46Lightning!
22:46You'll hear more of this, Mr. Knowledge.
22:52For a start, you'll not set foot on my farm again.
22:56And other folk will hear about it, too.
22:59You're finished, Harriet!
23:00You hear? Finished!
23:04Aye, it's a daft fella
23:07that can't accept scientific facts, Mr. Harriet.
23:10It's as plain as day
23:11his beast died of stagnation at lungs.
23:13There you go.
23:18That wasn't a beverage.
23:20Oh, you are a sweetie pie.
23:21Oh, isn't it?
23:22Very good, isn't it?
23:24You're a nice little lady, aren't you?
23:29James.
23:30James!
23:30What the devil have you done to Isaac Cranford?
23:33Oh, had words with you, has he?
23:35Words?
23:35Man's out of his mind.
23:36Thoughts were deeds.
23:38He'd have you roasting slowly over hot coals.
23:40What on earth happened?
23:41He was caught trying to pull a fast one.
23:43Ah, so his beast wasn't struck by lightning, eh?
23:45Bloody my foot.
23:46He died of viricus endocarditis.
23:48Endocarditis?
23:49No wonder he didn't believe you.
23:52Common enough in pigs, very, very rare in cattle.
23:54I know.
23:55Well, rare or not, that's what killed it.
23:56Say no more, say no more.
23:57You're going to see the miserable beggar in a short time.
23:59I'll soon sort him out.
24:00Oh, still with us, is he?
24:02Yes, worst of luck.
24:03Can't get rid of him.
24:04Ah, then.
24:05This is Selby.
24:06Yes, Nellie.
24:08All right and tight.
24:09Now, you tell your Susan
24:11she'll be as right as a cat with two tails, okay?
24:14Goodbye to you.
24:15All right, he's too much of a skinflint
24:19to call in outside help now.
24:21So we're stuck with him, I suppose.
24:23Moans like hell whenever he has to pay.
24:25He gives me the creeps to...
24:26Perhaps you should just strike him off.
24:28Now, James, it wouldn't be ethical.
24:29He walked off his own accord.
24:31That's another matter, but he doesn't.
24:33I suppose I shall have to go and see
24:35that damn prize boar of his.
24:37Good luck to you.
24:38Thank you very much.
24:40Anyway, James,
24:42no need for you to worry at all.
24:45Ah!
24:57That's a nasty sore, Mr. Cranford.
25:01He probably picked up a bit of something
25:03rubbing against the sty
25:05and it's turned septic.
25:07Hmm.
25:08What do you reckon is to be done
25:09about it then, Fowler?
25:10I'll make you up a special ointment for it.
25:13Right.
25:13Nothing fancy, Mark, you.
25:16Don't want you loading your bill as usual.
25:18Prepare for what you get, Mr. Cranford.
25:20Eh, too bloody much if you ask me.
25:23You could always seek other advice, you know.
25:27Reckon I'm stuck with you, Fowler.
25:29Right, I'll post you the ointment when you get it.
25:32Rub it in carefully by hand
25:33four times a day.
25:36You got that?
25:36Aye, as long as it queues bore.
25:41It will.
25:43Oh,
25:44end of the month's coming up.
25:45Perhaps you'd like to clear your bills
25:47for the last six months.
25:50Must keep the books in order, you know.
25:54You'll get paid, Farnon.
25:57Never fear.
25:58Right, I'll be off then.
26:00Thank you for the soap and water
26:01and remember the ointments
26:03to be rubbed in
26:04four times a day.
26:05All right?
26:07I heard you first time.
26:09Well,
26:10I'll say goodbye.
26:11Goodbye.
26:11I'll say goodbye.
26:31Triss, you see my hoof knife?
26:32No.
26:33Damn.
26:34Must have left it at Dylan's place.
26:35Use Siegfried's.
26:36Oh,
26:36good idea.
26:41Ah-ha!
26:43Caught red-handed!
26:45I was just on my way
26:46to do Thompson's horse.
26:47Uh-huh.
26:48And I couldn't find my knife.
26:49I see you lost yours
26:50so you thought you'd thieve
26:51my brand new one, eh?
26:52I put it back straight away.
26:54As we heard that one before.
26:54Now, come on, James,
26:55confess what's happened to your knife?
26:57A knife, I may add,
26:58paid for with my hard-earned cash.
27:00As a matter of fact,
27:00I left it at Willie Denham's place.
27:02I see.
27:03I'm sure he'll drop it in
27:04next time he's in town.
27:05Well, I know of Denham.
27:06He'll consider it the ideal tool
27:07for cutting his plug tobacco.
27:09Now, James,
27:09it won't do.
27:10This business of mislaying things
27:12is getting under my skin.
27:14You're just as guilty as he is.
27:17Well, here's the point
27:18of my buying expensive equipment
27:20if you too simply turn around
27:21and lose it.
27:22You'll agree.
27:23It's got to stop.
27:26Now, you may wonder
27:27why it is that I never leave
27:28anything behind on the job.
27:30Hmm?
27:36Yes, I was going to mention that.
27:38Concentration.
27:40Whenever I put something down
27:41I form
27:44a mental picture
27:45of the object
27:46which reminds me, you see,
27:48to pick it up again.
27:51Oh, I see.
27:52Perfectly simple
27:52once you get the knack.
27:54I must try that.
27:55Good.
27:55Excellent.
27:56Let's consider the subject closed.
27:58Just done a faeces sample.
28:00Will you send it to the lab,
28:00please?
28:01It needs testing
28:02for Jona's disease.
28:03Things people send
28:04through the post these days.
28:05Never mind the wit.
28:06Check in the day book,
28:07see if there's anything else
28:08neat sending at the same time.
28:09Oui, mon colline.
28:10Jane.
28:11Oh.
28:12James.
28:13Ah, what are you up to this afternoon?
28:16Um, I've got to do
28:17Thompson's horse.
28:18Yeah, of course you have.
28:19And I thought I'd test the Dalby house.
28:20Yeah, good idea.
28:22Get back as early as you can, will you?
28:23I've got a stack of late jobs
28:26lined up for after supper.
28:28I want your help.
28:29Anything interesting?
28:30No, no.
28:31Just sheer muscle, I'm afraid.
28:32Old Horace Dawson's
28:33milk cow Mabel's
28:35torn a teeth.
28:36I'll need you help stitching it up.
28:38A nice sort of a cow Mabel,
28:39but she goes frantic
28:40at the side of a needle.
28:42Fascinating.
28:44Um.
28:46Uh-huh.
28:49Let's have a mental picture, shall we?
28:52I'll see you at supper.
28:53I'll see you at the back of the door.
29:11Hello, Charlie.
29:13Hi there, Mr. Elliot.
29:14I've come to test the herd.
29:15You'll find him down at Bottom Paddock, yonder.
29:17Oh, fine.
29:18Well, I'll just pay my respects first,
29:19then we'll get down to work.
29:20All right.
29:20Good morning, Mrs. Dorby.
29:32Mr. Elliot.
29:34Won't you come in?
29:35I just thought I'd say hello
29:36before I get down to work.
29:37Oh, you sit down.
29:39Tea will be brooding no time.
29:40Well, I've got my boots on.
29:41Oh, shh now.
29:42You sit.
29:45Billy and William are out working, I'm afraid.
29:48Still, I'm sure you'll see him before you go.
29:56There, now.
29:57Here's all your extra bits.
29:58I'll spoil my supper if I eat all that, Mrs. Dorby.
30:01Oh, stop and nonsense.
30:03Our Billy, he can put twice that much away between meals.
30:06You eat up now.
30:08I need to twist my arm.
30:08It looks delicious.
30:15Mmm.
30:17Now that you've got the herd,
30:18I suppose you'll be taking on extra help.
30:20It'll be a long time
30:21before we can afford out like that, Mr. Elliot.
30:24It's a lot of work for one man, isn't it?
30:26Oh, we're not doing too badly.
30:29There's William.
30:31And Charlie comes over from time to time.
30:34And, of course,
30:35I'm out there as well.
30:38So, you see,
30:39we're quite well off for hands.
30:43There, now.
30:43Just let it brew a minute.
30:44Well, I expect Billy
30:49could use all the help he can get.
30:51Aye.
30:52Well,
30:52it's Billy who keeps the whole thing running,
30:55if you know what I mean.
30:56Mm-hmm.
30:56He's always planning,
30:58always doing.
31:01Of course,
31:02it's not been easy for him
31:03this past year.
31:05Finding money for cows
31:06and now getting barn ready for winter.
31:10He's hardly taken time off for sleep
31:12these past months.
31:13But, still,
31:15work's got to be done.
31:17I know that.
31:19You've got yourself a good man there.
31:20I have that.
31:23It's just winter that's worse, Mr. Elliot.
31:26Keeping cows fed and sheltered through snows.
31:30Still,
31:30God willing,
31:32we'll come through it.
31:34I'm sure you will, Mrs. Dolby.
31:40Come on, James.
31:41There's no need to make a banquet of that supper.
31:43Come on, come on.
31:45What's the first job?
31:46Joe Kendall.
31:47One of his cows has developed some sort of tumour.
31:49Come on.
31:51Come on, James!
31:52I see you've got extra mampire this evening, Mr. Farnon.
32:22Need on, Mr. Kendall.
32:23No time for chit-chat at this later hour.
32:25Right, squire.
32:27Oh,
32:27something for you.
32:29You left them last time, didn't you?
32:31Uh,
32:32I think you were with the car.
32:34Aye,
32:34and while I'm on,
32:35you left your bloodless castrate as time of all that.
32:38You'd never come here without leaving summer,
32:40do you, Mr. Farnon?
32:42Really?
32:42Well, let's get on, let's get on.
32:44If I'd have kept them all,
32:45I'd had a drawer full by now.
32:47Is that so?
32:48Aye,
32:48and it's just the same.
32:49We're all neighbours.
32:50Never called without leaving a souvenir,
32:52do you, Mr. Farnon?
32:53Where's the damn cow, Kendall?
32:54Haven't got all night, you know.
32:55There he is, Mr. Farnon.
32:56How are you going to get that lump off then, Mr. Farnon?
33:12He'll need axe or a carving knife for the job, I reckon.
33:16Right, Mr. Kendall, anything else one doing while we're here?
33:34No.
33:37Just lump on cow there.
33:40The tumour?
33:41Well, that's gone.
33:44Gone?
33:44Gone, you say?
33:50By gore, you're right.
33:53I never saw you use a knife, Mr. Farnon.
33:55I didn't, Mr. Kendall.
33:57Well, I'm damned if I can see how you got it off without using a knife.
34:00Tricks of the trade, eh?
34:02But it can't just vanish.
34:04What are you done with it?
34:05I told you, it's gone.
34:07I've never seen a lot like it.
34:09How the hell did you do it?
34:10If I told you that, I'd be out of a job, wouldn't I?
34:12But look, we're there. I saw it with me own eyes.
34:15Well, if that's all, we'll be saying goodnight, Mr. Kendall.
34:19Aye, goodnight to thee and all.
34:21Oh, what did happen back there?
34:24He's a bit of a know-all, his old Joe Kendall.
34:27It was driving crazy for weeks not knowing how I did it
34:29and where the tumour got to.
34:31Where did the tumour get to?
34:33Well, I felt it move the moment I started to examine it.
34:37And when I squeezed it, it just popped out and shot up my sleeve.
34:43There it is.
34:45Anyway, it'll keep him guessing, that's for sure.
34:47By the way, I'm glad you got your stethoscope back.
35:01Oh, yes.
35:02A moment of forgetfulness there.
35:05I shan't stray again.
35:10Is this what you're looking for?
35:11I've been practising your mental image system, Zipri.
35:29It works, you know.
35:34It's a bad tear, Horace.
35:35It goes right into the milk channel.
35:37Reckon Mabel would agree with that, Mr. Farley.
35:40It's going to need a good few stitches in there.
35:42I'll just give her something so she won't feel any pain.
35:48I hope her temper's improved, Horace.
35:50She's as gentle as a lamb, Mr. Farley.
35:53She wasn't all that gentle last time, was she?
35:55I reckon he caught her on an off day, Mr. Farley.
36:00Right.
36:02You hold her tight, Sir James.
36:05Let your attention wander for just a moment.
36:07She'll have you.
36:07All right, Horace.
36:14Hold her tail, if you will, please.
36:18Tightly, James, please.
36:21Easy, girl.
36:25Easy.
36:26Easy.
36:27Won't take long.
36:29Oh!
36:30All right, a girl.
36:36Not very nice, I know.
36:37But you'll feel better with this inside, yeah?
36:40Nice, girl.
36:42Easy.
36:43Easy.
36:45Easy, then.
36:46Ow!
36:46No!
36:47No!
36:50Come on, James!
36:51I'm not a girl.
36:51It's...
36:51I'm not a girl.
36:52I'm not a girl.

44:10Charlie
44:11Charlie
44:12Charlie?
44:24Charlie?
44:28Charlie?
44:31Mr. Ariat.
44:34Sorry I didn't hear you.
44:35Well I was just passing. I thought I'd look in to see how things were.
44:39That's kind of you.
44:42You sit down. I'll make you a pot of tea.
44:45No, no. It's all right really.
44:47Please Mr. Ariat.
44:48Besides, I was just going to get one for myself.
44:56Has Billy managed to get the hard standing for the barns laid yet?
44:59No, not finished.
45:01William and Charlie are at...
45:02Oh, hello Mr. Ariat.
45:05Hello William. You look as if you're hard at it.
45:07Charlie, we're finishing off the barns, aren't we ma'am?
45:09Aye, and you make sure you make a proper job of it.
45:12Dad showed us how. Any road we need must remember. Will you order it for us?
45:15Your father ordered some.
45:17Should be here tomorrow, I expect.
45:19Aye, as long as you have the job done before Dad gets back.
45:21Bye Mr. Ariat.
45:22Bye William.
45:25Billy's away, is he?
45:27He's in hospital.
45:29Hospital?
45:29Aye.
45:32Happened two days ago.
45:35He'd been out, working all hours.
45:38Got himself a right soaking.
45:41He were taken very poorly.
45:43William thinks it's just somewhat small.
45:46That Billy will be back soon.
45:50And I don't know.
45:52Doctors say he's really bad.
45:53Do they know what it is?
45:56Aye.
45:58Pneumonia.
46:01Worst kind of pneumonia at that.
46:03All right, how's it going, good jams?
46:25Just, um...
46:27Your secret?
46:29Do you recall that I asked you to post certain items a few days ago?
46:34Oh, the sample to the lab and the ointment to Cranford.
46:38Exactly.
46:39Well, I did.
46:40I posted them both off the same day.
46:41Yeah.
46:42Quite a simple operation, one might suppose.
46:44Two items, two labels.
46:45You simply wrap them up and post them and that's it.
46:47Exactly.
46:48So what's wrong?
46:49What's wrong, he says.
46:51See this?
46:51To that from Isaac Cranford, containing enough venom, enough poison, to wither a city.
46:57Oh, what's he complaining about now?
46:58What's he complaining about?
47:00Well, he's complaining about opening your package
47:05and smearing the contents liberally over his pig
47:10and working it well in with his fingers four times a day,
47:14as instructed,
47:16and then finding that it isn't an ointment after all.
47:20Oh, what was it?
47:24Infected codon!
47:26The infected faeces sample you should have sent to the labs.
47:29My God, I sent in the wrong package.
47:31Yes, you botched it!
47:32He's smearing it on day after day to miracle the wretched man isn't a disease wreck by now.
47:36Interesting to speculate how the labs are getting on testing the ointment for Jonas disease.
47:40I'm sorry, Siegfried.
47:43You hear that, James? He says he's sorry.
47:45Sorry, Mum.
47:46Why isn't it for you to be sorry?
47:47I just looked in to congratulate you.
47:49Isaac Cranford says he will never, ever do business with us again.
47:52You're a genius, Tristan, a genius.
47:54You've got rid of the old vulture at last!
47:57Ha, ha, ha, ha!
47:58Huh?
47:59Huh?
48:01Okay.
48:03Go ahead.
