00:00THE END
00:08Thank you. See you soon.
00:10Thank you again.
00:11All those young men lost.
00:13So many names.
00:17Why didn't Trish see it with us?
00:20Well, probably spotted one of his chums.
00:23There you are. Aren't you getting a bit old for hide and seek?
00:44Took you ages to find me. You're losing your edge.
00:53Shall we? Mrs Hall's waiting.
01:04We owe you all so much. You're all so brave.
01:10A moving service, I thought.
01:15You chaps in uniform certainly had a rough go of it.
01:18There have been difficult years here too.
01:22I know. Maggie still hasn't had any word from Arthur.
01:28Have you been good? What's that you've been?
01:30Dad, Dad, look!
01:31Hello, Jimbo! Are you not a fout?
01:34Sorry, Jenny! Dad's waiting for us to start that ditch.
01:38Daddy, Daddy, my car, look!
01:40It's truly magnificent, Jim.
01:42Surely the rich could manage for a few minutes without you.
01:44I thought we were having breakfast together.
01:46Look, I've kept him waiting. James, you did sleep in late.
01:49Oh, I got in after three.
01:51Daddy!
01:53Oh, it's truly magnificent driving there, Jim.
01:55No, no, no, don't eat that, Rosie.
01:59Look, breakfast another morning will be lovely.
02:01Jenny!
02:03I could drive up at lunch.
02:05Well, Jenny will have the kids then.
02:07Well, they'll only get 20 minutes.
02:0820 minutes?
02:0920 minutes with you.
02:11Worth it every time.
02:13All right.
02:14Charm.
02:16I'll see you later.
02:17Bye.
02:18Bye.
02:22Hi.
02:23What are you up to?
02:24Just driving my car.
02:26Just driving your car.
02:27On, Daddy.
02:29Oh, hooray!
02:30It's arrived.
02:32My invitation from Orley Castle.
02:33That black tie do there on Saturday.
02:35What's Saturday night?
02:39Ah, yes.
02:41Tristan.
02:42Look, I know it was me who suggested the drovers.
02:45Would you mind if we rearranged?
02:47Of course not.
02:48It's good for business to be seen at something like this,
02:50and the invitations are like gold dust, so...
02:53No, I understand completely.
02:54You'd rather get about in your dinner jacket
02:55than get a pint with your brother.
02:59How does next week look?
03:01Jam-packed, I'm afraid.
03:02But we'll do it the week after, eh?
03:03Not to worry, we'll soon have you back on form.
03:04Uh, Mrs. Pomfrey, we'll be with you in a moment.
03:05Darylby 2297.
03:06Darylby 2297.
03:23ard floor il y' nave.
03:24Yes, Captain Van.
03:25Yes, Captain Van.
03:28Any problems? Just get in touch.
03:30Mrs. Pumphrey.
03:31Frankie, Jim, you should have mentioned it's like Piccadilly Circus down here.
03:34I thought you could use a moment to yourself after that service.
03:36I'll take it in my stride, you know me.
03:38Well, no need to rush straight back in. Your brother and I have it in hand.
03:41But I'm fine. Where do you need me?
03:44Mrs. Holder, you took a call.
03:47Mrs. Pumphrey, do come through.
03:49What are you doing for?
03:58Tricky was cock a hoop about the prospect of fatherhood.
04:02And you know Tricky, his energy is infectious.
04:05Well, given his years, the boy's in fine nick. You've looked after him.
04:09Yes, but these breeders that you've recommended, they should be biting my hand off.
04:14There's not one of them who will take a chance on him.
04:17He's really taken it to heart.
04:19Yes, breeders do typically seek out younger males.
04:24No, no, no, no, no, Uncle Harriet. No, not that nonsense, please.
04:28The science suggests that younger males, father fitter, healthier pups.
04:33But what about the wisdom that Tricky has compared to those upstarts?
04:38Yes.
04:40Yes.
04:42I'd like to see him again in a week, please, Mrs. Shinwell.
04:51Mrs. Hall?
04:53Just a minute.
04:54I know you've set your heart on breeding from him. There are easier ways.
05:04A new puppy.
05:05Tricky will be there to guide them through and part his hard-won canine wisdom.
05:09What about the bloodline? The lineage? I promised him a dynasty.
05:17Then you mustn't give up hope, Mrs. Pumphrey. There are other breeders out there.
05:22Hmm. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Uncle Harriet.
05:26Toodaloo!
05:31Toodaloo!
05:38Siegfried?
05:46Siegfried?
05:47Tristan?
05:48Captain Farnon?
05:50Morning.
05:52That is impressive.
05:54You ask for one Captain Farnon and they provide a spare.
06:00Yes. No, sir.
06:03No, sir.
06:04I'm sorry.
06:05I'm sorry.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:07I'm sorry.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:09I'm sorry.
06:10I'm sorry.
06:11I'm sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I'm sorry.
06:14I'm sorry.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:16a spare administrative mix-up it's a family practice two brothers and two captains then
06:24daddy told me to ask for captain fun and apparently he's a marvel with horses
06:30robert will show you where to park
06:36i can take it from here you go home help james with the backlog
06:46good morning my uncle died so the estate came to us we drove up from hampshire on friday
06:54it must have been quite a sight for the oncoming motorist magna visi quorum
07:03how many do you have here it'll be 15 when the rest arrive on tuesday
07:07daddy intends to expand there's rather a lot of us you see and we're all utterly horse mad
07:11here's my philbrick
07:17i wrote in this morning and something wasn't quite right hello philbrick
07:22there there philly i'm partial to a bit of evil and war myself the butler in decline and fall
07:27war's best for my money oh i beg to differ but an honorable second to a handful of dust
07:32yes miss beauvoir is philbrick eating normally no um now that he mentioned it not with his usual gusto
07:40well he doesn't have a temperature but he is quite stiff so i'd say one often sees this with horses
07:46particularly after a long journey yes moving for them is very tiring standing all that way so let
07:52him recover quietly in his stall that's what he needs box rest captain farnan you don't seem convinced
07:58oh no no we we could try that i just worry he might stiffen up further i'd walk him out with a head
08:05collar so that's walk him outside and keep him alone inside and forgive me if i'm a little lost
08:15why don't we start him on box rest and then if we have no joy we'll walk him out
08:19i think that sounds very sensible thank you you've been most attentive captain farnans
08:33neither of them are back yet i promised helen i'd get there for lunch oh sorry love
08:51i think i'd better take philbrick on from here oh i'm happy to well that's kind of you
08:57no but general beauvoir asked for the farnan who deals with horses he was quite specific ah and that's
09:05specifically you is it it's not waste time quivering ultimately i am senior partner and as you said
09:11you're rushed off your feet i hate seeing my brother so overloaded you get those tired feet up old man
09:19i'll soon put philbrick right no i said no i'll do it what sorry i can't hear you
09:38oh

11:25well it must feel good to be back
11:26and i bet your brother's glad to see you i'm not sure he even likes being in the same room
11:33and now we've had some ridiculous barney over which of us is treating this horse

16:34your brother told me to walk him to keep his guts moving
16:37miss beauvoir my brother is a fine young bird but i have 30 years experience of horses it's box rest he
16:42needs now also cold hose his back at regular intervals that should prevent any information

18:34well the course of true love never did run smooth
18:37her owners driving up from sheffield southern lass is she and what time is she arriving two o'clock
18:45two o'clock tomorrow i'll need you to check her over and of course reassure
18:52her breeder about tricky's excellent credentials now tricky's lineage um be my guest take it home
19:00then you can have a thorough read mrs pamphrey you said this was urgent
19:05oh it is it is it is i'm worried about something in particular
19:12will he know what to do i started talking him through the the rudiments but of course
19:20it would be far more effective coming from a fellow male
19:23hey i leave your boys together well you got me up here because you want me to tell tricky
19:33about the birds and the bees just jog his memory
19:41now tris are you ready to acknowledge me as yorkshire's very own answer to miss marple
19:46i've long been ready to do that the case is cracked i heard some regulars chatting last night
19:53who owns this horse exactly the youngest daughter charlotte beauvoir apparently she was a debutante
20:03yes that's the one yeah so this to do over that horse that about the horse or about the lass who owns it
20:12no but
20:16you're right why didn't i see it my my brother has taken a shine to her oh the absolute scoundrel
20:23and you're sure no one else has got a soft spot for her how do you mean what no no a girl like that
20:37is looking for her mr darcy with his three stately homes i live in my brother's spare room
20:53and i'll be 2297 miss beauvoir
21:04just a moment urgent apparently tell her i'm on my way
21:11mrs home yes he's on his way
21:24his temperature's slightly higher
21:27and there's pain here and definitely pain on his back your brother thought back pain was the
21:32cockpit so i've given him box rest and he wanted me to walk him
21:40still has gut sounds i'll inject him with a record line in case it is colic so we still don't know
21:45what we're dealing with it is rather mysterious but don't worry we'll work it out
21:53miss beauvoir i'm curious charlotte charlotte how did someone with your background end up running
22:05supplies in italy oh well daddy said i'd evaded the altar for long enough so he set up a marriage
22:14well i rather jilted the poor chap just knew i could never love him
22:18queue and enormous brouhaha and me hatching a plan entirely selfishly to disappear where there'd be no
22:24gossip i'd struggle to describe the ats as selfish well no one out there gave two hoots about me being a
22:32beauvoir help me see that class system in this country is well it's on its way out
22:39i can't see fair shares for all being that high on churchill's list of priorities yes but he's not
22:44going to win oh you think aptly could do it
23:00there we go you see any further signs phone immediately
23:05what you were saying before about what it felt like being back um
23:15people who weren't there can't really understand can they
23:23there's a soiree tonight up at orley castle might help you take your mind off things
23:29that is to say i was rather hoping we could enjoy it together
23:36you don't want to no no i'd be delighted yes
23:59my brother's in good spirits yes he's been drilling like a bird for hours
24:15so turns out i'll be going to that orley castle bash after all with siegfried with miss beauvoir
24:23actually so that's how it is tristan farnum stepping out with society beauty at the event of the season
24:32and she asked me still have to break it to siegfried and why would that be a problem
24:41so i was right he likes her too that's why he's sitting fixing the horse i'm dreading telling him why
24:48just don't rub his face in it he'll be happy for you i'd like to believe you but we all know what
24:55he's like when his pride's on the line hmm
24:59oh jess

32:26are you off out
32:28uh yes
32:31orley castle in fact
32:33right
32:34i wouldn't have thought that was quite your thing
32:36why the sudden interest in chamber music
32:39well there's uh there's no easy way to say this but um
32:41um
32:43miss beauvoir asked me actually
32:45to go with her
32:46i thought it best i mentioned it now rather things didn't get awkward
32:51why would they be awkward
32:52because
32:54well because you've clearly taken a shine to her
32:57i i honestly never planned for it to happen like this it's just
33:01i can't help but admire miss beauvoir terribly
33:05no hard feelings i hope
33:07secret this is easy
33:12give them your blessing
33:14my blessing
33:15yes they like each other
33:17just hardly deserves the silent treatment
33:18i mean come on brother she's a touch outside your age range don't you think
33:22have you completely lost your minds
33:26i haven't been pursuing miss beauvoir romantically
33:30i bloody haven't
33:32is this what you think too
33:34that i've been chasing after a girl more than 20 years my junior
33:37no
33:38no
33:39but for god's sake why would any of you even think it
33:43her father's got grand plans for those stables i've been trying to secure his business
33:48you
33:50have you what
33:52yes
33:53get that horse of hers right and the beauvoirs won't take their business elsewhere that at least was the
33:57plan
33:58it's not easy with you interfering interfering i know what i'm doing
34:02i hope you don't mind me saying but
34:05if it were the business you were after you might have taken a moment to tell your fellow vets
34:09exactly
34:10is that really necessary i was seeing your partner last time i looked
34:17daraby 2297
34:21it's above our horse
34:23we're on our way
34:24well you've just missed the journey this way no it's longer
34:39hello i'm here
34:44he still hasn't eaten or drunk anything and he's burning up
34:48can you fetch fresh water
34:51now please charlotte
34:56oh god
34:59he's obviously got a fever
35:00we need to encourage him to drink
35:11uh we're going to need some treacle or some apples
35:21siegfried i can't read your mind
35:24she'll be back soon can we please clear the air
35:26i'd rather concentrate on saving the horse if it's all the same to you
35:30look i was way off about you and charlotte but if you'd only just talk to me
35:34you could have asked hello
35:37oh at least we don't have to persuade him to drink
35:39um would you mind just i'm in my dinner jacket thank you
35:43god it stinks color
35:55yes it's off blood yes but
36:02that's why you wanted him to drink to test his urine i think we might have solved our mystery
36:07it's a kidney infection that explains the lethargy colic and painful back vanishingly rare
36:14i never unpacked my microscope after last week's rounds
36:25i brought snacks
36:43you see them white blood cell casts
36:55it's as you suspected
36:57pylonephritis
36:59it's quite brilliant siegfried
37:00oh tasha i thought it was his bag
37:04well gives us a chance to try these new antibiotics
37:16see he trusts you

41:06the evening might not be entirely ruined after all
41:18actually
41:36so
41:46so
41:48How was the concert?
42:15Glorious.
42:16Absolutely glorious.
42:17Quite lifted the spirits.
42:22I, er...
42:23I have a confession.
42:26You were given a military cross too?
42:28I wouldn't put it past you.
42:29Earlier, I were miffed with you.
42:33James were run ragged on that bike.
42:36And you wouldn't listen?
42:38No, I know.
42:40And then Tristan were quite put out about the drovers.
42:44But you paid him no mind whatsoever.
42:46No wonder he's keeping secrets.
42:49Yes, I shouldn't do things on my own like that.
42:54Wearing around like a loose cog, it's not fair on your wall.
42:57And, er...
42:58Mr. Farland, time was, if Tristan said what he did about you and Miss Beauvoir,
43:06I would have already known your side of it.
43:11You would have told me.
43:15You're right.
43:15That's true.
43:33Pleasant evening.
43:33You're in good spirits.
43:36You were there a while.
43:38Well, we listened to some music after all.
43:41Not as bad as I thought, your old guy, chap.
43:44Ah, the Philistine takes his first step.
43:48And the context may have helped.
