00:00Dougal was worried about his eyes, and was testing out a new pair of glasses.
00:25You know, I really think I can see better with these. Much better. Oops, takes a bit of getting used to. Ah, that's better. Now, long vision perfect. Now, what about close-ups? Let's see.
00:43Dougal's Japes by William Shakespeare. You know, I didn't know he'd written that. Now, visual identification test. Flowers, yes. Very good. Now, what's the time? Ten to ten. Yes.
01:00You know, I couldn't see that clock just now. These glasses are marvellous. Now, a little drink.
01:11Ah, now, what's that? Picture of me? I've never seen that before. Just think what I've been missing without glasses. It's a chastening thought.
01:24A chastening thought. Chastening. Florence arrived. Hello, Dougal, she said. What have you got glasses on for?
01:37Because I'm going deaf, said Dougal, sarcastically. Oh, oh, I see, said Florence. Really, said Dougal.
01:47May I have a sit in your chair, said Florence. Be my guest. Dougal, I really would like to know why you've got those glasses on, said Florence.
02:00Isn't it obvious, said Dougal. We are none of us getting any younger. Even the keen-eyed and ever-watchful dog begins to need an artificial aid or two.
02:10Oh, dear. But Dougal, said Florence. Now, now, please don't interrupt, said Dougal. I don't wear them for pleasure, you know.
02:23But Dougal, now, please, please don't try to be kind. I know what you're thinking, poor old thing. He's past it. That's what you're thinking.
02:33I'm thinking no such thing, said Florence. If you'd just let me explain. Explain, explain. Oh, I know what you will explain. You will explain that your friend is still your friend, even though he was growing old and grey and useless.
02:53Dougal, I think you're getting rather maudlin, said Florence. And all I wanted to say was, stop, stop. Think of all the famous people who had to wear glasses.
03:06Er, er, Napoleon? Er, er, Julius Caesar? Er, er, I didn't know Julius Caesar wore glasses, said Florence.
03:18Ignorant thing, said Dougal. And then there was, er, Genghis Khan and, er, er, my auntie Megzi. One learns something new every day, said Florence.
03:30Yes, one does if one listens to little old hysterical, historical me, said Dougal. But we are straying a little from the point, I think.
03:39Yes, yes, we are, said Florence, because, now, you're going to say I look ridiculous, said Dougal. I know, I know, but I shall have to learn to live with it, like Shakespeare.
03:51What can I say, thought Florence. I'll be bumping into things soon, said Dougal, heavily.
03:58Dougal, you haven't got your glasses on, said Florence, very quickly.
04:01What? What? What? What do you mean, haven't got them on? What do you mean? What do you mean, haven't got my glasses on? What do you mean?
04:06What do you mean? They're sitting on top of your head, said Florence.
04:10But why didn't you tell me, said Dougal, instead of letting me wander around, making a fool of myself.
04:17Hmm? I tried, said Florence.
04:21Boo, said Zebedee.
04:23I like your hat, he said to Dougal, but it's time for bed.
04:28Good night, said Florence.
04:31Dougal was a bit put out by it all.
04:34Good night, Dougal.
04:36Yes, it's all right for some.
04:39They haven't gone around looking foolish all day.
04:44I've gone blind.
