00:00Dad! Dad! Dad!
00:13Oh, thank you, Jimmy.
00:16It wouldn't do to forget Triggy's birthday.
00:19Tell your mum and Rosie I said bye.
00:30THE END
01:00THE END
01:30What are you doing?
01:33Bloody car wouldn't start.
01:35Where have you left it?
01:36Up at the Marsham's.
01:38I thought Ronnie Marsham died.
01:40Mrs. Marsham was hosting a bridge game.
01:44Till this time in the morning?
01:45An all-night bridge session is nothing out of the ordinary.
01:50You didn't have called someone to pick you up?
01:51I had to leave in something of a hurry.
01:56Where's your other shoe?
02:00I mislaid it.
02:02At the bridge game.
02:02Get in.
02:14Don't say I'm Triggy's birthday card.
02:15Don't leave it on the sink then.
02:17Five miles done.
02:33And not a bit of it between the drover's snug and the drover's bar.
02:35An old before you've had your breakfast.
02:38Yes then.
02:40Could you not sleep?
02:41Military training, Mrs. H.
02:43Discipline body, discipline mind.
02:45Is that bacon?
02:47Think you can make it the rest of the way now?
02:49Could have got here quicker than walking.
02:51What have you done to yourself?
02:53Why have you only got one shoe?
02:54Bridge.
02:56Nothing one of your restorative breakfasts couldn't fix, Mrs. H.
02:59I've got to go and leave for Mrs. Pumphrey now.
03:02Mrs. Pumphrey?
03:03I've just had Sister Rose on the telephone.
03:06She reckons you're due there half an hour ago.
03:09Sister Rose?
03:11Nice knowing you, old chap.
03:12I don't have an appointment with her.
03:14I'm worried about one of her rescue dogs.
03:17It's actually called yesterday.
03:18Who did she speak to?
03:19Is there any more marmalade?
03:21We can't afford to get on the wrong side of Sister Rose.
03:25Every time she re-homes a dog, she tells the new owners to bring it here.
03:29We've lost enough business lately.
03:31If you go to Sister Rose, I'll deal with Tricky.
03:33Why do I get Sister Rose?
03:34Don't mind for it if you can't organise yourself.
03:44That's my bacon.
03:45I don't need the voxel.
03:46I don't need the voxel.
03:47I don't need the voxel.
03:48I don't need the voxel.
03:49I don't need to.
03:50I don't need the voxel.
03:50What did you get there?
03:50I don't need to get up.
03:56Oh.
03:57Excuse me.
03:59Good morning.
04:24Don't mind me, Mr. Harriet.
04:26You turn up whenever you fancy.
04:28I'm only late for my shit.
04:29Sorry, Sister Rose.
04:30And my dogs are used to being abandoned, so why worry?
04:33There was a mix-up with the appointments, but I'm here now.
04:36Shall we take a look at this dog?
04:38You've heard of ladies first, haven't you?
04:41Of course. Sorry.
04:44After you.
04:45Your poor, poor wife.
04:53Even one unwanted dog is too many.
04:55Push now.
04:57Clive.
04:59Clive!
05:00Done.
05:00You think people want to adopt a badly behaved boy?
05:07And I'll tell you something else.
05:09I have not received the flea powder I requested.
05:11Three years I've been with you.
05:13I shouldn't have to chase it up.
05:15Again, I can only apologize.
05:18What seems to be the trouble?
05:20It's Geoffrey here.
05:22He hasn't been right for the last few days.
05:24Up all last night, vomiting.
05:26He does look weak.
05:28Where did you find him?
05:29Side of the road.
05:30On my way to the hospital.
05:32Curl up on a bit of muck.
05:34Soon as I saw him, I knew it was a Geoffrey.
05:35You certainly have a way with names.
05:38I like my dogs to have real ones.
05:40Like people.
05:42Did their new owners keep them?
05:44Why would you ever change a good name like Geoffrey?
05:47No reason at all.
05:50Can I have a look at you, Geoffrey?
05:56All right.
05:57All right.
05:58I know you've learned not to trust.
06:00But Mr. Herriot means no harm.
06:04Now, there could be a few things causing it.
06:07He might have gastritis.
06:08We'll try stomach powders first.
06:13Oh, what if it's not gastritis?
06:16We might have swallowed something.
06:17I couldn't feel anything inside.
06:19But I can't be absolutely sure.
06:22You don't have an x-ray machine yet?
06:25There are other vets I can go to, you know.
06:26I've been discussing it with my business partner.
06:29We're ironing out the details.
06:31The hospital have just got a new one.
06:32The old one is for sale.
06:35Oh, well, I could certainly take a look.
06:37It's a x-ray machine.
06:39What, you want it to match your wallpaper?
06:41No, no, not at all.
06:42Good.
06:45When shall I say you'll be picking it up?
06:47Tricky, Tricky, come on.
07:07Yes, come on, come on.
07:09Birthday boy.
07:11Tricky, come...
07:12Oh, Tricky, what on earth is the matter?
07:16Morning, Mrs. Bunfrey.
07:17Oh, Uncle Farnon is here at last.
07:22Everything will be well.
07:23I brought him a little present.
07:26Bless you.
07:27It's not in the diet plan, but as it's his birthday.
07:32Tricky.
07:33Birthday bacon.
07:35Oh, yes, I see.
07:38You come for Uncle Farnon.
07:40It's me you've taken against.
07:42This does not sound like the happiest of birthday celebrations.
07:46He refuses to follow any of my instructions.
07:49He won't come.
07:50He won't sit.
07:51He won't roll over.
07:52Oh.
07:53Why is he being like this?
07:58Do you suppose I've said something to offend him?
08:02Surely not.
08:04Tricky.
08:05He can't drift into unsavory moods from time to time, but this is altogether different.
08:10Tricky.
08:13No, but perhaps he's simply grown tired of me.
08:15One does have to wonder if...
08:17Oh!
08:18Well, perhaps he can't hear you.
08:21What?
08:21Can't hear?
08:23Tricky!
08:26I don't think he can hear anything.
08:28He can because of the smell of the bacon, not because I called him.
08:31Oh, Tricky.
08:35Uncle Farnon will take care of it.
08:40Uncle Farnon will take care of it.
08:46Yes, this might have been infected.
08:49Bring him in for a good clean.
08:50Oh.
08:50Oh, sweet boy.
08:53Oh.
08:55I feel like I've been hit by a tractor.
08:58Oh, you just did more chance with a tractor.
09:01She has this way of making you do things whether you want to or not.
09:05Walkies, James.
09:06Good boy, James.
09:07I think she sold me an x-ray machine.
09:13What?
09:14I mean, have I agreed to go and see it?
09:16James!
09:17It's not like I hadn't been thinking about it.
09:20It's not like I hadn't been thinking about it.
09:20The benefits would be enormous.
09:23And also Sister Rose told you to do it.
09:26Sorry.
09:28She's my new hero, though.
09:30I bet you don't take any messing about from her patients.
09:32We've got to think about the future.
09:36I've worked in a modern practice, the one in Glasgow.
09:39That's how we should be thinking.
09:41Well, what will Siegfried say?
09:44Siegfried may be happy to let things slide.
09:48I'm not.
09:50Well, I look forward to his reaction.
09:52Although we'll probably hear it from the farm.
09:54He can say what he likes.
09:57I can't actually stand up for myself, you know.
10:06You've got a bad back or something?
10:10Me?
10:11Aye.
10:12I was wondering if that's what's stopped you.
10:15Getting a brush and sweeping up this mud you've walked in.
10:19I've not walked it in.
10:21Well, it's not me.
10:22So unless bloody cows are wearing his size 10s and treading it in.
10:27It's you.
10:29It's not my mud.
10:30And it's not mine, neither.
10:33I'll brush it.
10:34No, he'll not.
10:36He will.
10:48Makes no sense.
10:50I see Siegfried.
10:52You're a braver soul than me.
10:56I've been putting this off ever since I got back.
10:58As I said, military discipline.
11:01You learn to keep things organised.
11:04You know, some of these are no longer strictly legal.
11:06Are you bored, being on leave?
11:17Comfortable bed.
11:18Home-cooked meals.
11:20Yeah, dreadfully bored.
11:22It's just you haven't sat still for five minutes.
11:24Wanting to be on the go all the time.
11:27When my Edward came home injured, he said the worst thing, we're not having anything to distract him.
11:32Distract him?
11:36Hmm.
11:39From remembering, I suppose.
11:43Uh, well, truth be told, Mrs. Hall, um, well, it is a relief to see, uh, my brother making someone else's life a misery.
11:55I know what James is going through.
11:56I'm not going to stand around and do nothing.
11:58I can see Siegfried's handwriting hasn't got any better.
12:05Boric acid.
12:07Ah, boric acid.
12:26Hello, Kenneth.
12:28Mrs. Hall, we seem to be out of coffee.
12:46Do you...
12:48Is this yours?
12:49Well, she looks rather like a nuggle to me.
12:52What was that lady doing with it?
12:54Why is she throwing it at me?
12:55If only she'd stayed, we could have asked her.
13:10Siegfried.
13:10Remember I was talking to you about bringing in some modern equipment?
13:15What have I done with the other one?
13:16Uh, and we discussed x-ray machines?
13:18Ah, yes, marvellous things.
13:19Well, an opportunity has arisen.
13:21Well, on God's earth is it?
13:22And I felt it too good to refuse.
13:24I'll be having it delivered this week.
13:27Which one of you is the culprit?
13:29So that's all good with you, is it?
13:31What?
13:31Yes, you don't need to trouble me with every little thing.
13:37X-ray machine?
13:39Well, that's not cheap.
13:40I didn't hear Siegfried argue.
13:42Hmm.
13:43And I'm sure he gave it his full and careful consideration.
13:46It's for the good of the practice.
13:48Whether he knows it or not.
13:49It's here.
14:05Is it supposed to be this big?
14:07Are you ready, Stress?
14:09Oh, I mean, I know that I'm made of muscle, Jim, but even for me...
14:12What's the matter between us?
14:14Don't bother.
14:16Okay.
14:16I think it's caught on something.
14:43I don't suppose you'd mind lending us a hand?
14:47For a discount on your next bill, obviously.
14:49Oh, right, right.
14:50Yeah.
14:52I mean, come on.
14:55Come on.
14:56You got it?
14:57That's it.
14:58Easy.
14:59Easy, lad.
15:00That's...
15:00Thank you so much.
15:04Right, Al.
15:05Well, I'll take it from here.
15:06I'll get up.
15:07Right.
15:07Well, as I say, it's nothing to worry about.
15:14Yes?
15:16Now it's caught on something again.
15:18We'll see him again in a few days.
15:20What the hell's that?
15:21Electrary machine.
15:25Mrs. Jenkins, would you mind going out through the back way?
15:28It's down here.
15:30I told you all about it.
15:34You did no such thing.
15:36You said they were marvelous.
15:38Even if I did, where in that statement can you hear the words, please go out and buy yourself
15:42a bloody big X-ray machine?
15:45How much is it costing us?
15:46Well, it'll pay for itself within six months.
15:49We're still rationing, man.
15:50Locals can't afford X-rays.
15:52And in any case, it'll only help with the small animals.
15:54We're going to be seeing a lot more of those now we're coming out of the war.
15:58People want their companions again.
16:00You know, like rats.
16:02Our primary business is agricultural.
16:04Always has been, always will be.
16:06Modern equipment like this is essential now.
16:09Making a non-domestic pets are the future.
16:11Not if they can't get in the bloody door, they're not.
16:14All right.
16:21You have a lovely day now.
16:27Morning.
16:28Just a lettuce, please.
16:29On an account?
16:30Yes.
16:31That's right.
16:35Is that the best one you've got?
16:38Give him my regards, won't you?
16:44Yes, sir!
16:50So sorry to happen to bring you the back way.
16:52Lucky Tricky not having to hear this.
16:55Yes, your other uncles did forget your birthday.
17:00Oh, I've got it.
17:01Somewhere.
17:04Look, I think it's jammed now.
17:06Just finish this up.
17:14Finish this up.
17:17Good boy, Tricky.
17:18You're being such a good boy.
17:20I can't hear you, Mrs. Pumphrey.
17:22Yes.
17:27Un-suspected.
17:28It's an infection.
17:29Not to worry.
17:30Antibiotics will clear it up.
17:32Incredible things.
17:33Don't know how he got by without them.
17:34You hear that, Tricky?
17:35Uncle Farnham will make you better.
17:38What...
17:38How did this come to be?
17:42Well, it's quite common as dogs get older.
17:44Just a symptom of his age.
17:46Excuse Uncle Farnham, Tricky.
17:48He can't hear you.
17:50Just as well.
17:51Old age, indeed.
17:52We have to be realistic.
17:54These infections will become more frequent.
17:57Along with other ailments.
17:59He may not be quite as young as some other dogs.
18:03But he's been far better looked after.
18:06None of us can escape the inevitable.
18:09Get moving!
18:12Yeah.
18:15Come on!
18:18I'm absolutely done in, Jim.
18:21Are those the words of a fighting soldier?
18:23Well, we weren't fighting x-ray machines out there.
18:26One little lunge!
18:27Lucky me, Dad's not saying this.
18:29You've almost got it.
18:30He sent me to get that ointment for the cows.
18:32I told him I would bring it home tonight.
18:36Just, sorry.
18:37Come in.
18:38Squeeze past if you can.
18:42Thank you, Mrs. Pumphrey.
18:43Come along, Tricky dear.
18:45Mrs. Pumphrey!
18:46I'll go and get this card.
18:49Right, come on.
18:50Put your back into it.
18:51More likely putting it out.
18:53Right, come on.
18:59You are aware that I'm on leave.
19:01Yeah.
19:02It's arrived then.
19:03Sister Rose.
19:05Oh, Sister Rose, I've heard so much about you.
19:08I can well imagine.
19:10Do you want to come through?
19:11Yes.
19:12Here.
19:13Here.
19:13You don't own a tape measure?
19:16It looks a lot bigger outside of the hospital, Sister.
19:20Two educated men.
19:22You're only good at taking out walls, Sister Rose.
19:26I would just take it out of the crate.
19:29What with it being on wheels.
19:30I'll give it a cropper.
19:37I'll give it a cropper.
19:48There we go.
19:49What are we going to invent next, Jim?
19:52Fire.
19:52Fire.
19:54I came to collect my flea powder.
19:57Just as well.
19:58How's Jeffrey getting on?
19:59Well, he seems an awful lot better.
20:01Your medicine must be doing its job.
20:03It's good to hear.
20:04We could always give him the x-ray, just to be sure.
20:06If you mean, will I show you how to do it?
20:08I don't think so.
20:10I have enough animals of my own to house train.
20:14I'm getting your flea powder.
20:15On the house.
20:16Thank you, Mr. Harriet.
20:18Clive's infested and sharing it with the rest of the pack.
20:22Maybe it's his goodbye gift to her, Carol.
20:23She's found her home now.
20:25That's wonderful news.
20:26A couple on the other side of Darby.
20:29She'll be happy there, I have no doubt.
20:31To break the others to lose her, though.
20:33They've grown close.
20:35It must be hard on you as well.
20:37Oh, no.
20:39They're all still with me up here.
20:41I know they're going to leave me from the moment I take them in.
20:45They depend on me for a while.
20:47But sooner or later, they have to stand on their own.
20:50It's the natural order of things.
20:55Flea powder.
20:57Please, and thanks.
21:03Oh, dear.
21:06Have you grown again lately?
21:08You're nearly as tall as me.
21:09Audrey.
21:10Hello.
21:12Do you want to play marbles?
21:13I'd love to.
21:14You go and set them up.
21:15I'll be with you in two ticks.
21:17Just in time.
21:17I'm losing an argument with a fruit loaf.
21:20Oh, we can't have that.
21:21Just wanted to use it all up.
21:23I don't suppose a rational end any time soon.
21:25Look.
21:26Yeah.
21:28Have you been shopping in the village lately?
21:31No.
21:34Has everyone been all right with you?
21:36Because I've been feeling about as welcome as a pig in a pantry.
21:40You?
21:40Well, nothing I could put my finger on.
21:43I didn't...
21:44It was like...
21:46It's happened in a few places.
21:49It was like I'd done something to offend.
21:52I don't think it's you that's offended anyone.
21:59Oh.
22:01Chances are Siegfried's either sacked him, shouted at him, or done something to upset him.
22:05Well, he is quite skilled in that department.
22:09I don't know how you cope with him.
22:11Honestly.
22:12James has got all these big ideas and secrets.
22:15I want to know.
22:16Hello.
22:16Are you ready?
22:22Here you go.
22:23I think you're winning.
22:25Maybe one more.
22:26Come on.
22:26The thing with Mr. Farnham is...
22:30Come on.
22:31There's only one way, and it's his way.
22:34And the worst of it is...
22:36He's not always wrong.
22:40Come on, then.
22:48It's beautiful, Jim.
22:50Aye.
22:52Beautiful.
22:54Come on, then.
22:55Let's give it a test run.
22:56Make sure it's ship-shape.
22:57Uh, all right.
23:00Put your hand in, then.
23:03What, this hand?
23:04Either hand is fine.
23:05Why don't you're hand?
23:06I'll be operating it.
23:07Well, I can operate it.
23:08How hard can it be?
23:09That's my machine.
23:10And these are my hands fighting as hands that are required to protect the free world.
23:13But these hands are paying for this thing.
23:19Is it safe?
23:20Well, next day it's not going to do much harm.
23:23Get on with it.
23:26Hurry up!
23:49it could be the fuse
24:03where on earth did you get it
24:06little closer please
24:07so now we're broken so is the machine
24:09here we are
24:10hey let there be light
24:13I take it all back the man's an electrical wizard
24:15it's clearly too much for a
24:17domestic circuit
24:19we'll have to rewire a new board
24:20why don't we send it up to someone who knows what they're doing
24:22and of course we've no money left
24:24no spot we have left since the invoice and receipt
24:26gets stuffed into the nearest vase
24:28which works perfectly well unlike that
24:30again you said they were marvellous things
24:32well they are
24:33but if you ask me properly I might have suggested not buying the first one you saw
24:37nothing to see here George
24:44why the electrics off
24:59why the electrics off
25:13nothing to do with me
25:15James walking out like that
25:21nothing to do with you either
25:25did I stake the practice on a defunct x-ray machine
25:28an x-ray machine
25:30it's exciting
25:32it's useless
25:33a blind mole rat would have more chance of seeing through things
25:36well that's frustrating
25:38I imagine it could be of great benefit to the practice
25:42I'm sure you told him so
25:44Mrs. Hall I have my ways
25:46I do them because they work
25:47you're very lucky
25:50to have someone who puts up with your ways
25:52it's all very well
25:53people coming in and out
25:54telling me what to do
25:55I'm here
25:56I'm the only one who bloody well has been
25:59I know
26:06it's not been easy for you these last few years
26:09but it might be wise not to get on the wrong side of everyone you meet
26:15I beg your pardon
26:16don't talk about a blind mole rat
26:18digging his tunnel in a temper
26:20no idea it's falling in behind him
26:23god help anyone who happens to be in the way
26:26didn't you just call me a mole rat
26:28this is a village
26:28and if you go around upsetting people
26:30they can make it difficult for you
26:32they can make things difficult for me
26:34I don't know what you mean
26:36Mr. Jubb
26:37the green grocer
26:38it's not so much him as his sister
26:40oh good grief
26:41no she's one of your
26:43successors
26:44I gave her the job in good faith
26:47but honestly how many times do you have to say soft-boiled
26:49there is a limit
26:50how long was she here
26:52three and a half days
26:54I know you don't mean to hurt anyone
26:58I know it would upset you to think that you had
27:01but you just don't realise
27:04if people misunderstand me
27:06there's very little I can do about it
27:08Mr. Farnett
27:09it's not the worst thing in the world
27:11to admit you're wrong
27:12it's almost like you've done it on purpose
27:22I'm not doing it at all
27:25what you should do is get your own house
27:28that way you can tread in as much mud as you like
27:31tough to bits I got to meet Sister Rose
27:34I just sent the nurses out to fight the Germans
27:36war would have been sewn up in no time
27:38so you got your x-ray machine then
27:41aye and there were some teething problems
27:43but it still doesn't justify the way Siegfried spoke to me
27:45in front of clients
27:46when you stood up to him
27:48Jenny
27:48eggs
27:49she says she struggled to get the thing through the door
27:53and then it blew the electrics
27:56she can't herself look at it's only mud you tread in it
27:59if it was his idea
28:01it'd be the best thing ever
28:02but when it comes from me
28:03you know going out buying a whopping great machine
28:05without discussing it
28:05is a very Siegfried thing to do
28:07what do you mean by that?
28:11I mean one of them
28:12is quite enough
28:13alright get a broom
28:18sweep it up
28:33it is rather a good investment
28:50you know
28:50I can't say it
28:52since I can't see it in action
28:53maybe we could try it
28:58on the inside of your head
28:59find out what actually
29:01happens in the
29:23ah just in time
29:24observe
29:25what did you do?
29:29the machine
29:30is now on a separate circuit
29:31with its own fuse board
29:32you learn many different skills
29:34in the core you know
29:35well done
29:36don't know what you'll do
29:38with all those lamps now
29:39see
29:44Mr. Harriet
29:47Mr. Harriet
29:49Mr. Harriet
29:52it's Geoffrey
29:54he won't stop vomiting
29:55bring him in
29:57you said the stomach
30:02powders were clearing it
30:03he hasn't missed
30:05a single dose
30:06perhaps Geoffrey
30:07doesn't have gastritis
30:08after all
30:09well what else
30:10could it be?
30:11did you have
30:11any foreign bodies?
30:12I couldn't feel one
30:13but his upper room
30:15was very tense
30:16what do you think?
30:19hey
30:24I can't feel anything either
30:29the muscles are very tense
30:31so he's guarding his abdomen
30:32must be very painful
30:34it was getting better
30:36I'm sorry
30:37Sister Rose
30:38that can happen
30:39while the object
30:39makes its way
30:40through the system
30:40to the bowel
30:41by the stomach powders
30:42no doubt
30:43it's possible
30:44yes
30:45the problem is
30:46there are other
30:47potential explanations
30:48normally
30:49we'd risk the surgery
30:50if we weren't sure
30:51but Geoffrey is so frail
30:52he was clearly
30:54fending for himself
30:55some time
30:55before he found him
30:56but if he don't
30:58operate
30:59and he has
31:00swallowed something
31:01we could lose him
31:03I'm afraid
31:04thankfully
31:09we don't have to guess
31:10Triss
31:12alright that
31:14alright
31:15that's it
31:16alright that
31:18you're alright
31:19bring it across please
31:28alright Geoffrey
31:29let's get you x-rayed
31:31afternoon
31:33Mr Farnham
31:35I'd like to speak to you
31:37about your sister
31:38it seems I
31:39Beryl
31:40oh
31:41she's here
31:42how
31:42how lucky
31:43for me
31:44yes
31:47I wanted to apologise
31:50for anything
31:50I may have said
31:51or done
31:51I've not even heard
31:54some of those words
31:54before
31:55the way you were
31:56treated was
31:57wholly inappropriate
31:58and the blame
31:59was entirely mine
32:00oh
32:02at least you've had
32:04the gumption
32:04to admit it
32:05right
32:09well
32:10good day to you both
32:13your account's still overdue
32:15by the way
32:16so I still can't say for sure
32:22if there's a foreign body
32:23it's not a very good image
32:24I need better exposure
32:25our facilities are quite limited
32:27take another x-ray
32:28we can develop it
32:29at the hospital
32:30I think that would be
32:31the best course of action
32:32like I say
32:33I can't operate
32:34on a poorly dog
32:35if we're not
32:35absolutely certain
32:36may I
32:37vomiting for 48 hours or so
32:44subsided after stomach powders
32:45vomiting again
32:46for several hours
32:47earlier today
32:48and you examined him thoroughly
32:49of course
32:50he had a very tense abdomen
32:51let's say operate
32:53the dog is extremely weak
32:55he's been nursed
32:56back to full health
32:57my sister rose
32:57after living wild
32:58I'm not sure he survives
33:00the surgery
33:01if he has swallowed something
33:04and we wait for better x-rays
33:05he may not make it
33:06but of course
33:08it's your decision
33:09James
33:12he's just vomitally good
33:15Mr. Harriet
33:17we operate
33:28there you go
33:32a cup of tea
33:33very kind
33:34Mrs. Hall
33:35look at me
33:36do you think I'd be used to this kind of thing by now
33:39well it's because you care
33:41it's hard being on the other side
33:45I'm not used to feeling helpless
33:47I suppose as a nurse
33:49you can't let yourself get too close
33:51I try to be like that
33:54with the dogs
33:55to keep up a wall
33:57you know
33:57but sometimes
33:58they get by
33:58like that rascal
34:00he's cleared the wall
34:02and how did he manage that
34:06the state of the poor creature
34:09when I found him
34:10he was at his lowest
34:14but I could see
34:17he had a good heart
34:17you know
34:19I don't think
34:19many people
34:20would say what you say
34:21and sometimes
34:23he would snap at people
34:24and growl
34:25but he is only like that
34:28because he was hurt
34:29damaged
34:31he has to learn to trust again
34:34what if he can't?
34:40I haven't found one
34:42that can't Mrs. Hall
34:43they all want the same thing
34:45a home
34:47and love
34:48and also
34:51they need to know
34:52they are not the ones
34:52in charge
34:53Cicero's
34:59he'd swallowed a pebble
35:01oh Jeffrey
35:01we managed to remove it
35:03and how is he now?
35:05he's doing well
35:06but he's
35:08been through the wars
35:09all we can do now
35:11is hope for the best
35:12he seems comfortable
35:19I hope so
35:20he's at a rough time
35:22of course
35:23if you've thoroughly
35:23examined the dog
35:24in the first place
35:24I told you
35:26he was guarding his abdomen
35:27there's no way
35:28anyone could have known
35:29I might not have operated
35:35if you hadn't given
35:36a second opinion
35:37well we always need
35:40to take a few
35:40but maybe
35:42once we've
35:43ironed out the problems
35:44with that new machine
35:45there'll be less margin
35:46for error
35:46you can wipe that
35:49bloody grin off your face
35:50I've never been against
35:51new equipment
35:52or ideas
35:52I just want to say
35:54in which ones
35:55and when
35:55sorry
35:57perhaps I should have
35:59consulted you properly
36:00perhaps I should have
36:02let you
36:02you're just an expensive
36:08piece of kit
36:08I know
36:09but the war's almost over
36:12the world has changed
36:14we need to change with it
36:15I think we already have
36:18get a broom
36:44they're still
36:47your problem is
36:50you take this place
36:50for bloody granted
36:51not the only one either
36:54Jenny's finally applied
36:58for nursing college
36:59when did this happen?
37:01sent the letter last week
37:03we think it were just
37:04the war holding her back
37:05we'll have another
37:06sister Rose eh?
37:08don't tell anyone
37:08she don't want
37:10fuck knowing

37:16she'll hold for now
37:17anyway

37:29the boots make the farmer
37:30oh he did did he?

38:07if I um
38:10get ahead of myself

38:15it's because I want you
38:18to be proud of me

38:56say too much

38:59to be said
39:00but if you ever compare me
39:02to a blind mole rat
39:03we shall have words

39:08Mrs. Pumphrey on the telephone
39:10oh lord

39:12urgent apparently
39:13I told her it would take time
39:14to heal

39:53to be left alone
