00:00Oh
00:30Go, Docs, go.
00:48He's coming, he's coming.
00:52There you go, have you got it?
00:57Morning.
00:58There you go, Uncle Trist.
00:59Jimmy's made you a lovely egg.
01:01Ooh, what a delicious-looking soft-boiled egg.
01:04Can't wait to taste it.
01:06Oh!
01:08You tricked me, you little rascal.
01:11Your kitchen jitty.
01:13You ever giving me my tips when she gets back from London?
01:16He's been a wonderful helper.
01:17I bet he has.
01:18Thanks again for looking after him this week.
01:20I'm not sure his grandad would have managed so well.
01:22It's lovely having you both here.
01:24I only wish it were permanent.
01:26Unfortunately, Helen may still have one or two reservations
01:28about that.
01:30But with Jenny gone, and Mrs. H here...
01:31She knows I'd always look after Jimmy and Rosie, don't she?
01:33Oh, she does.
01:34I think she just worries that someone else
01:36always has to be the centre of attention.
01:37Jimmy!
01:38Got a challenging one.
01:40What on earth?
01:40Could she mean?
01:42Uh, what's this?
01:43Oh, I've been teaching him to identify spore.
01:46Spore?
01:47You mean?
01:48Animal poo!
01:50Don't worry, I won't bring it anywhere near the table.
01:52Come along, Jimmy.
01:54Have you seen my glasses?
01:56I hate it when he's in a good mood.
01:58It's like being licked by a short horn.
02:03It's rather sweet.
02:04I'd say a diet of pine cones.
02:05What do you think?
02:07Siegfried, do you have a minute?
02:08Run along, Jimmy.
02:09See if you can identify it from the chart.
02:12I must say, I'm rather enjoying having him back.
02:14And you, of course.
02:16When Helen comes home from London,
02:17it'll be just like old times.
02:19Being back here full-time
02:20has given me a chance to go over the books.
02:22We're in a worse mess than I thought.
02:23So is this going to be dreary?
02:25I don't think you realise how bad it actually is.
02:27How much business we've lost recently.
02:29Well, if you lived here permanently
02:30instead of running back and forth to Heston,
02:32we might have a chance of turning this thing around.
02:34I don't think that is the problem.
02:36We're way into the red.
02:36I don't even know how we'll pay Mrs. H this week.
02:38Never mind anyone else.
02:39We have a new prime minister,
02:41in case you haven't noticed.
02:42Mr. Atley is providing food for all,
02:45health care for all,
02:46and houses for all.
02:47Look, I found this.
02:49It's from the dog track at Hensfield.
02:51They need an attending vet urgently.
02:52Have you done anything about it?
02:54I should think not.
02:55It's cash in hand,
02:56exactly what we need right now.
02:58I walked away from a similar job in Ripon,
03:00if you remember.
03:01I didn't like the way the horses
03:02came second to the money.
03:03I suspect whippets would be
03:05even less of a priority.
03:06I've trained at greyhound tracks.
03:07I've seen the dogs well cared for.
03:09The National Greyhound Racing Club
03:10is one thing,
03:11and an unlicensed flapping track
03:12is quite another.
03:13Aha!
03:14More of the reason
03:14to have a decent vet there,
03:16besides which,
03:17you don't have the luxury of choice.
03:18I'm sorry,
03:19I want nothing to do with it.
03:20Is it badger?
03:21Badger?
03:22No.
03:24Badger is altogether
03:25muskier
03:26and less well-formed.
03:29Let me have a look
03:30at your chart, Jimmy.
03:34I thought you were going
03:34to draw a rabbit.
03:36Oh, that is a rabbit.
03:37Uncle Siegfried.
03:43Come on.
03:45Veterinary!
03:45Thank you, young fellow.
04:09One, you can't mind him, mister.
04:12Aye, all right.
04:13I says to him,
04:33if you think dog's got it bad,
04:34don't you want to take a look
04:35at my gout?
04:36Aye?
04:37Mr. Cooker?
04:39Never heard of him.
04:41James Herriot,
04:41I'm here about the...
04:42Ah, veterinary!
04:43Thank God for that!
04:45Right, see you later, Stan.
04:47Oh, I'm ever so grateful,
04:48Mr. Herriot.
04:49I really am.
04:49You've got me out
04:50of a tight spot here, you have.
04:51I'm sorry I wasn't in touch
04:52earlier, your letter...
04:53It's not that you can't find a vet.
04:55I mean, vets are two a penny.
04:57I mean, good vets, though.
04:58That's different.
04:59I suppose good vets are busy.
05:01Aye, daytime meetings
05:02don't help.
05:03How are you supposed
05:04to run a track
05:04when half your customers
05:05were at war
05:06and the other half
05:07are at work?
05:07I don't know.
05:08I heard a lot of tracks
05:09have closed down.
05:10It's not easy, Mr. Herriot.
05:11Let me tell you,
05:11it's not easy at all.
05:13But I don't do it for money.
05:14I do it for lads.
05:16It's only a bit of pleasure
05:17that you get some of them.
05:19And none of that
05:19happens without you.
05:21Most important man
05:22on track, the veterinary.
05:24That's nice to hear.
05:25You've got your certification,
05:27have you?
05:27Yes, and my reference
05:28is from...
05:28Ah, we'll do that later.
05:29Don't you worry about that.
05:31We've got to get you started.
05:33Sorry,
05:34do you mean to say
05:34I've got the job?
05:35I thought this was just a...
05:36Oh, listen,
05:37you're the right sort,
05:38Mr. Herriot.
05:38I can tell by looking at you.
05:40But I don't have my vet bag.
05:41You're all I've got.
05:43Can't race without you.
05:45Well, thank you,
05:46Mr. Cooker.
05:52Morning, Bert.
05:53Morning.
05:53Morning.
06:02Ah, Mrs. Ainsley.
06:03Thank goodness you're here,
06:05Mr. Farnon.
06:06We are beside ourselves.
06:14Hello, kids.
06:14Hello, Mr. Farnon.
06:17Hey, I'm so sorry
06:18we couldn't bring him to you.
06:19Just some days
06:19he won't let you near.
06:23He likes music.
06:25Well, we think.
06:28Hello, George.
06:30Me and I, Lucy,
06:31we made the toys.
06:32Wanted it to make it
06:33feel like a forest.
06:35Bobby here,
06:36you drew the pictures,
06:36didn't you?
06:37Have a look.
06:38Oh, well,
06:39he's a very lucky parrot.
06:42Let's have a look.
06:44Watch yourself with him.
06:45Oh, don't worry.
06:46I've got a special rapport
06:47with birds.
06:48Here we go.
06:50He didn't mean it.
06:53See, this is what he's like.
06:55We haven't had him very long,
06:56but we love him to be,
06:57don't we?
06:58Problem is,
06:59he doesn't seem to like us
07:00very much.
07:01Silly ass.
07:03Did he just say...
07:04Yes.
07:06I'll tell you what,
07:06he says it like he means it.
07:08Silly ass.
07:09Silly ass.
07:11We do everything we can
07:12to make him happy.
07:13I don't know if it's him
07:15or if it's us.
07:17He's lost a few feathers there.
07:19Oh, yes.
07:20He's started picking.
07:22It's like,
07:23he's that angry,
07:24he'll take it out on anything,
07:26even himself.
07:27How's his appetite?
07:28He's not really eating.
07:30Droppings?
07:31He's got the chops.
07:32Popping.
07:33Right.
07:34Well, parrots are difficult
07:35to diagnose,
07:36but it's possible
07:38it could be cytokosis.
07:40Cytoco?
07:41It's an infectious disease
07:42very common in parrots.
07:44It can lie dormant
07:45for a very long time
07:46with no symptoms
07:46until it begins
07:47to cause a bird distress,
07:49which could account
07:50for these behaviours.
07:52Oh, George.
07:56Unfortunately,
07:57it can be transferred
07:58to humans.
08:00That being the case,
08:02I will have to take him
08:03with me for further observation,
08:04just until I'm sure.
08:05You can't take George.
08:07This is where he lives.
08:08Hey, look,
08:09it won't be for long.
08:10The vet just needs
08:11to check him over,
08:12and then,
08:14well, you'll give him
08:15some medicine,
08:16won't you, Mr. Varno?
08:18Well, we'll cross that bridge
08:19when we come to it.
08:20Can we help you carry him?
08:22Oh, no.
08:23Don't worry.
08:24He's in safe hands with me.
08:26Arse!
08:29Good lad.
08:31Which dog's next for inspection?
08:33Blackpool Rock.
08:35He's sweet,
08:36but he's hard as nails.
08:37Here we are, lad.
08:43All right, lad.
08:45Here we go.
08:46Oh!
08:50Has this dog been fed
08:54within the last hour or two?
08:57Nothing since breakfast.
08:58Well, I can feel
08:59a full stomach.
09:00But can't have it.
09:02He's had an out.
09:03If you want me to check,
09:04I can vomit him.
09:05I've got washing soda
09:06in the car.
09:07I don't want you
09:07messing with my dog.
09:09And I'm sorry,
09:10I'll have to take him
09:10out of the race.
09:11Listen, Mr...
09:13Harriet.
09:14I'm Willie Stockwell,
09:15Mr. Harriet.
09:16Ask anyone about me.
09:18I've trained dogs
09:18all my life.
09:20They are my life.
09:22And I train winners.
09:23I mean, they come in.
09:25Might not mean much
09:25to anyone else,
09:26but to me,
09:27it's everything.
09:29Blackpool Rock's
09:30the favourite.
09:31So I don't like
09:32what you're suggesting.
09:34Yes, but still,
09:35his stomach...
09:35When I were in Africa,
09:36a couple of the lads,
09:37they carried a picture
09:38of the sweetheart.
09:39I carried two.
09:39My family.
09:42My dogs.
09:43You served in Africa?
09:44I did my bit.
09:51I was discharged as well.
09:54I do.
09:56So you must know
09:57why I need this.
09:59You must know
10:00it's about pride.
10:02That's the truth,
10:02Mr. Harriet.
10:06Problem.
10:14No problem.
10:15Good lad.
10:19Congratulations.
10:20You finally made it back
10:21with a bird
10:22that hasn't dropped dead.
10:23Yes, well,
10:24if it is cytokosis,
10:25it's only a matter of time.
10:26The feather plucking
10:27is a concern,
10:29as is the loss of appetite.
10:30The trots?
10:31Mm-hmm.
10:33Characteristic green hue?
10:34No, not that I've seen.
10:35Of course,
10:36cytokosis can present
10:37without all of the symptoms.
10:38Oh.
10:41City ass.
10:42It's wonderful
10:44to see the bond
10:45you've built up with him.
10:45Oh, yes.
10:46He's an absolute charmer.
10:48Has he been in contact
10:49with other birds?
10:50I don't think so.
10:51But the infection
10:52can lay dormant for years.
10:54He may have caught it
10:54from his flock.
10:55Do the owners
10:56know it's fatal?
10:59I couldn't see the point
11:00in telling them
11:00before we're even sure.
11:02They obviously dote on him.
11:03Heaven knows why.
11:10Right, let's send
11:11a sample for testing.
11:11In the meantime,
11:12strict quarantine,
11:13and you'll need
11:14to keep a close eye on him
11:14in case further symptoms develop.
11:16Yes, I was thinking,
11:17perhaps we could swap duties.
11:20As you know,
11:20birds seem to
11:21take against me,
11:23and, um,
11:24well, I've got this dinner
11:25with Charlotte later, so...
11:27You brought him in.
11:29He's your responsibility.
11:29Who has the incontinence problem?
11:38Thank you, Mrs. Wellings.
11:39It's a cat I'm looking for.
11:42Mrs. Hall.
11:44We have a parrot
11:45in strict quarantine.
11:47Please make sure
11:47Ginny stays away
11:48from examination lung two.
11:49Right, yeah.
11:50Thought I might take him out
11:52for a picnic tea, anyway.
11:53Oh, I rather thought
11:55I might look after him
11:56when I finished here.
11:57He's excited about going
11:58on a hunt for foxtrot.
12:00How can I compete?
12:01I mean, I don't mean
12:02to spoil your plans.
12:03It was just an idea.
12:04I've plenty to be getting on with.
12:06Perhaps if he's not too late
12:07going to bed,
12:07there might be time for cribbage.
12:10It's not my favourite cribbage.
12:13Well, uh,
12:13to make it more interesting,
12:14we could always try a variation.
12:17I thought backwards might be fun.
12:22I've never tried it that way.
12:23You simply do everything
12:24the opposite way round.
12:25The winner is the person
12:26who finishes last.
12:27I think it might be quite jolly.
12:29It certainly sounds it.
12:32I'll have the cards ready.
12:34What are you doing
12:35to that bird, man?
12:36All in hand.
12:37Number one fit, right?
12:44I wouldn't have passed him
12:45if he wasn't.
12:46I wouldn't have passed him.
12:48I wouldn't have passed him
12:49if he wasn't.
12:50what I didn't have to.
12:59I wouldn't have been
13:03if he wasn't.
13:04Oh
13:34Yeah, what happened to Blackpool and Ross?
13:43It never got going, did it?
13:45Lucas did all right.
14:04I want to examine that dog again.
14:05He's done his race.
14:06I saw.
14:07How many bowls of breadcrumbs and milk did you give him?
14:10He had an off day.
14:11It happened.
14:11You said he was a winner.
14:13He is.
14:14Just not today.
14:15Look, if he ran with a full stomach, he could have bloat.
14:17Now that can lead to serious complications.
14:19What's all this then, eh?
14:21I believe this dog has been overfed.
14:23Now I gave him the benefit of the doubt before...
14:25This dog?
14:25No, no, I wouldn't have thought so, Mr. Harriet, no.
14:28Well, it's my professional opinion.
14:29No, I can vouch for Willie here.
14:31He's a good lad.
14:32I wouldn't hurt my dog.
14:33Then there's no problem if I re-examine him, is there?
14:35You need it elsewhere.
14:36Emergency.
14:37What emergency?
14:39Got an injury I need you to look at.
14:42It's Ambrose here.
14:43He's had a nasty fall.
14:44I'm a fed.
14:45I'm not a doctor.
14:47Well, you don't have a doctor, Mr. Harriet.
14:48You can patch him up, can't you?
14:50I don't want him getting blood poisoning.
14:52What happened to me bar takings then, Ambrose?
14:57Get him on that seat there.
15:01I'm all right.
15:02Oh, I've got him, I've got him.
15:06Nice.
15:07Let's have a look.
15:13You've knocked a bit of skin off, that's all.
15:15Needs cleaning.
15:17You like whiskey, do you?
15:19Aye, that'll do, aye.
15:21Oi-ya!
15:23Get you tired of the gill, eh?
15:25I bet you don't get this much trouble from the animals.
15:29Yeah.
15:29Oh.
15:29I bet you don't get this much trouble from the animals.
15:30Oh.
15:41You're right.
15:42You're right.
15:43All right.
15:43To what do I owe this honor?
16:07I come bearing feeble apologies and flimsy excuses.
16:10You really know how to sweep a girl off her feet?
16:13Do you want your father running me off the ground with a pitchfork?
16:18Well, if you'd like me to stop.
16:20How painful can a pitchfork be?
16:23Hang on.
16:24What was that about excuses?
16:26Yes, dinner tonight.
16:28It's a small problem.
16:29I say small.
16:30It's about that size.
16:31Name of George.
16:32And why is George getting in the way of our social calendar?
16:34Because he's literally as sick as a parrot, and I'm obliged to watch him.
16:38It was all I could do to get away for half an hour.
16:40Well, if you're stuck at home, I could always come to you.
16:43Um, the parrot and me, we have a special one-to-one relationship.
16:48You might get jealous.
16:49I'd like to come.
16:51You've met my family lots of times.
16:53When am I going to meet yours?
16:54Look, you've met Sigrid.
16:55Yes, and if that hasn't put me off, what will?
16:57Well, the parrot's actually very infectious.
17:02Probably not a good idea.
17:03I see.
17:06Well, I'll tell the kitchen.
17:08Don't let me keep you from George.
17:10Maggie.
17:19And Albert.
17:21Hello.
17:23Hello.
17:24Sorry to bother you.
17:26You don't happen to have a dartboard, do you?
17:28I'm sure Tris mentioned once that he used to play in the kitchen.
17:33Well, you know what?
17:34I think I might just have an idea where it is.
17:37Come on.
17:41It's for a fundraiser at the Drovers.
17:44Women's voluntary services.
17:46Scorables, I get a prize.
17:48Oh.
17:49You'd think we'd have a board at the pub, wouldn't you?
17:52So you're doing WVS, are you?
17:55It's still needed.
17:57War's not over.
17:58Not everyone's on the way home.
18:00Any news from Arthur?
18:03All we know is he's in a camp.
18:05Burma.
18:07Not had a letter in months, and...
18:10I'm not entirely sure he was totally honest in it, either.
18:14They say Japan's on the back foot.
18:16I'm sure he'll be home before you know it.
18:20Here we go.
18:23Oh.
18:24You're all set up.
18:26I find it very good for taking out my frustrations.
18:28All right.
18:29Mind out, Albert.
18:34Mrs Hall?
18:35Where did you learn to play like that?
18:37Sunderland.
18:41My Edwards Betty likes a game of darts.
18:43She taught me quite well.
18:45Quite well.
18:47Makes Edward mad he can't beat me.
18:50It were good fun, that.
18:54Why don't you come down to the drovers tonight?
18:57You'll clean up, you will.
18:59Oh.
19:00I would, but...
19:03promised Mr Fine on a game.
19:06We have a long night of cribbage to look forward to.
19:09Cribbage?
19:11Oh, perhaps I do.
19:13Occasionally wonder if we might expand our horizons.
19:17Just a little bit.
19:18We'll ask him then.
19:19It's not just about what he wants, is it?
19:28Pretty boy.
19:30Say pretty boy.
19:31Pretty, pretty boy.
19:32Cilly ass.
19:34Oh, bugger.
19:36I told you strict quarantine and here you are up close.
19:40Well, he's not worsening.
19:42I'm beginning to doubt it is cytokosis.
19:45And I've been trying to train him so he's a little more polite while he's staying here with us.
19:49On what are you basing your diagnosis?
19:51Well, no swelling around the eyes, no discharge, and...
19:55No, the droppings aren't green.
19:57I thought perhaps it might be diet related, but I didn't see any potential toxins, no houseplants or anything you might be nibbling on.
20:04All right, I think we can assume he's not contagious.
20:08But you'd better continue your observations regardless until we do know what's wrong with him.
20:17You're not making this easy on either of us, George.
20:21Are you going to behave or not?
20:23Bugger.
20:29Bugger.
20:31Good boy.
20:35Can I just clarify?
20:37I am here for the well-being of the dogs.
20:39Well, it's not for the well-being of my bank balance, I know all that.
20:43I should have taken that dog out of the race.
20:45That was my mistake.
20:46But it should have been re-examined.
20:47I'd have thought that was more important than Ambrose's knee.
20:50I'm sure there were naught to worry about.
20:52Isn't that for me to decide?
20:54Mr. Harriet, it's not Greyhound Derby.
20:57It's a bit of enjoyment.
20:58That's all it is.
21:00And God knows we all need that at the moment, don't we?
21:02Yes.
21:03We wouldn't want to mess that up, would we?
21:05Times is hard for everybody, Mr. Harriet.
21:08Even a busy vet like yourself, I shouldn't wonder.
21:17Wait outside, Jimmy. I'm coming.
21:18Welcome.
21:20Off to the woods again.
21:22Well, he'll sleep tonight.
21:25You both will.
21:26See, this is what I don't understand.
21:28Being here is good for the children, it's good for Helen, but James won't have it.
21:33He must have his reasons.
21:35It's plain stubborn is what it is. Selfish, in fact.
21:39Uncle Siegfried!
21:41Seeing as you'll run ragged, why don't we leave backwards cribbage tonight?
21:46Maybe go to the drovers for a change.
21:49I was talking to Maggie and she fancies a little game of darts.
21:52Darts?
21:53I'm actually quite good.
21:55I spend most of my day inserting needles with varying degrees of accuracy.
21:58I'd rather not do it in my spare time.
22:01No, cribbage it is.
22:03Not today, Jess.
22:04Thank you, Henry.
22:09Thank you, Henry.
22:13Well, you know, we've had a good day.
22:16Nice.
22:18It's been sweet enough for you.
22:20It's been sweet enough for you, eh?
22:21Oh, thank you very much.
22:23Thank you very much.
22:25Have a good evening.
22:29Excuse me?
22:32Excuse me?
22:33See you tomorrow, veterinary.
22:54I've just about had it with that jumped up pigeon.
22:57I don't suppose you'd watch him while I grab a swift half at the drovers?
23:00I'm sorry.
23:01I've got calls to make before I go to the dogs.
23:03If I wasn't parrot sitting, I'd come with you.
23:05I could use the support.
23:06It's not like I don't know the tricks, but it's the first course I've worked up with the management to turn a blind eye.
23:11What tricks are these?
23:12Dogs that run like they've had one of your Sunday dinners, Mrs. H.
23:15What?
23:16They're being slowed down?
23:17Yes, it's called stopping a dog, making them lose deliberately so their odds jump up.
23:21I see.
23:22Then the next race it runs normally and they're quids in.
23:25And who cares about the dog?
23:26Oh, people have a way of putting thoughts like that out of their heads when there's money to stay.
23:30Oh, I won't be hoodwinked again.
23:31That goes double for the owner I had trouble with last time.
23:34His dog's running today.
23:35No, in the six o'clock.
23:37And if he tries the same trick again, he's out.
23:38I don't care what anyone says.
23:40The rover looks like he's had a mud bath.
23:43Might have thought you'd take better care of it.
23:44I'll wash the car, C3, don't worry.
23:47You never told me how it went at Hensfield.
23:48It went fine.
23:50And you're going back, are you?
23:52I have to go back, don't I?
23:54Perhaps Mr. Farnham could go with you.
23:57I'm sure you could use the benefit of his experience.
24:01I thought it went fine.
24:02A little help would be very welcome.
24:05I've made my feelings clear.
24:07I don't want to be involved.
24:08You can hardly say I didn't warn you.
24:10Right, thanks so much.
24:14Don't you have a bird to attend to?
24:18Some fresh tea would be lovely, Mrs. Hall.
24:21If you have a moment.
24:22Cilly ass.
24:23Cilly ass.
24:24Cilly ass.
24:25Oh, come on.
24:26I'm the one who let you out of that cage.
24:27Shh, shh, shh.
24:28What is wrong with you?
24:29You're so lucky.
24:30Everyone loves you.
24:31Why do you have to be like this?
24:32Cilly ass.
24:33Oh, where did you even learn that?
24:35Cilly ass.
24:36Cilly ass.
24:37Cilly ass.
24:38Oh, where did you even learn that?
24:39Cilly ass.
24:40Cilly ass.
24:41Cilly ass.
24:42Oh, where did you even learn that?
24:47Cilly ass.
24:48Cilly ass.
24:49Oh, where did you even learn that?
24:53Cilly ass.
24:55Cilly ass.
24:56Where did you learn that?
25:07That's really
25:15Mud bath
25:19Unbelievable, mister don't even think about touching that car
25:26Mr. Coker
25:31Never heard of him
25:33I want a room where I can treat the animals if required
25:36I want to meet the judges and the officials
25:37Now listen here
25:38If you want a vet
25:39You get a vet
25:53How's that?
25:54Now that is a good rabbit
25:57You see, it's all in the number of ears
25:59You're becoming quite the artist
26:01Yes
26:02I wish I lived here all the time
26:10Yes, well, your father likes being over at the farm for now
26:13So that's the way things are
26:15It's not my dad
26:16It's mum
26:17She said she's not coming back because you're a shellfish
26:21Shellfish
26:26Hmm
26:27What's a shellfish?
26:41It'll do
26:42Mr. Coker
26:47What the hell?
26:51Sure
26:52What the hell, Sam?
27:02What the hell!
27:04Oh, fuck!
27:09Attending bed to dog area for inspection for the six o'clock race.
27:30You'll find no problems until 1980 wins, is it?
27:35Yeah, why? That's it.
27:39The abdomen is distended.
27:48Don't start this again.
27:49The dog's enough at stake to compete.
27:52You can vomit him all you like.
27:54He's swollen.
27:55I strongly suspect that's bloat.
27:57He's out.
27:58I'm not having that.
28:00Do you want him to die?
28:02It's not up to you.
28:03Willie, I believe what you told me.
28:10The dogs are your life.
28:13I know you must be under a lot of pressure to support your family.
28:17You couldn't go back to your old job.
28:19Am I right?
28:23You can't fight when it makes you feel ashamed.
28:25You can't provide when it makes you feel ashamed.
28:28I get that.
28:33You talk to me about pride.
28:36Are you proud of this?
28:38Really?
28:38We're meant to be this one time, I swear.
28:50It's too late for that now.
28:57He needs treatment.
29:00Every moment you wait, put some more at risk.
29:02Take him.
29:11Take him.
29:32Mrs. Hall, am I selfish?
29:42Let's say compromise don't come easy to you.
29:46You know you can lie.
29:50I think you care very much about other people and what they want.
29:55Mostly when it's the same thing you want.
29:58That's hardly fair.
29:59James asked for your help and you said no.
30:01I said he shouldn't go.
30:02I said it was a terrible idea.
30:03I know what you said.
30:04I don't know you heard him.
30:11What's going on at the track?
30:14I don't think he's looking forward to the six o'clock.
30:16Put it that way.
30:17It's not far off six now.
30:28Hold your horses.
30:31What on earth are you doing?
30:42What I should have done before.
30:44How much scotch have you had?
30:45I'm aware of my limits.
30:46Because you're trying to get in on the wrong side.
30:52Right, I'm driving.
30:53What?
30:54No, Mrs. Hall.
30:54We'll be all right with Tristan.
30:55I absolutely forbid.
30:58Are we going or not?
31:02Now, remember, this is not the rover.
31:04It needs to be handled with properly.
31:06Fuck!
31:06Elliot, what are you playing at?
31:16I've told you I don't want you ruining my races.
31:20I know what the game is.
31:21I don't know if you're in on it or you choose not to see.
31:23Either way, I need to get to work.
31:25What's the problem?
31:29Let's be having the dog veterinary.
31:30Next time you drive, Mrs. Hall, remind me not to have four double scotches in a pickle vein.
31:55Must be nearly six.
31:56No, you stay in the car.
31:59I'll handle things in there.
32:06There'll be a prize given in the winner's enclosure in five minutes.
32:10Go on.
32:11I'm not saying you're wrong.
32:13I'm just saying you don't know dogs like these people do.
32:17I know dogs.
32:24But in this case...
32:26You've made a mistake.
32:29Easily done.
32:33The dog's ill.
32:36The dog's fine.
32:38It runs.
32:40I'm sure you came into this business because you liked the animals once.
32:45Let's be having the dog.
32:48Let the dog run.
32:50Yeah, come on.
32:50I don't want to have to hurt anyone.
32:53You say what?
32:55Walk away now and we'll say no more about it.
32:59I warn you.
33:05I am fully versed in whippet racing code.
33:09Prize giving is about to begin in the winner's enclosure.
33:12On your way then.
33:14Chop, chop.
33:15You're safe.
33:16Go.
33:18Who are you?
33:20You don't know who I am.
33:22You bloody shirt.
33:27And I bloody will tell you why.
33:33Run!
33:33Now then, now then.
33:43Now, welcome to the 12th anniversary Arricorca Championships.
33:48Let me have it.
33:50Spit up.
33:51Trailed by Quentin Warley.
33:53The Pussberg's got the dog.
33:59Right, she's my old bit of line.
34:00I'll tell you what.
34:01Pinchel and Graeme here.
34:05Come on, let's go.
34:07Thanks, sir.
34:13Oh, right, kids.
34:14Go take Jimmy and play Aunt Graeme.
34:17Come on, Jimmy.
34:18Come on.
34:21It's not bad news, is it?
34:24We've had the results back from the tests.
34:26It's not psittacosis.
34:27Oh, thank goodness.
34:28So he's all right?
34:30Where did you get George, Mrs Ainsley?
34:33Oh, he belonged to old Mr Walton.
34:35George was his pride and joy.
34:38Would I be right in thinking that George may have learnt his fruity language from old Mr Walton?
34:43Probably, yes.
34:45Never in front of the children, mind.
34:47He used to let them visit.
34:48That's how we got to know George.
34:50Mr Walton could get him on his hand.
34:52Brave man.
34:53He died, sadly.
34:55So we took George in.
34:59I mean, we're glad we did, but...
35:02But he's not a happy soul, is he?
35:08All right.
35:09Thank you, Mrs Ainsley.
35:10He's hiding somewhere.
35:16Where is he?
35:18Where is he?
35:18He's hiding somewhere.
35:19Where is he?
35:22Where is he?
35:22Where is he?
35:23I think that's all right.
35:24Right.
35:28Are we kidnapping a dog?
35:43Looks like it.
35:44Excellent.
35:45It's about the car, Mrs Hall.
35:47What about the rover?
35:48Come back for the bloody rover! Get in!
35:58What are you doing here? Drive!
36:03Get the dogs!
36:04They're after us!
36:05Go! Go!
36:08Drop the gate!
36:10Run!
36:14I think he's going to the gate!
36:16Step on the mrs. H!
36:17Tell you what, face backwards cribbage.
36:20Drop the gate!
36:23Did I mention we weren't able to pay you this week?
36:26Who cares?
36:38Don't you dare tell Siegfried where I hide that.
36:42I know you think I don't understand.
36:48But I do.
36:50Parrots are social animals.
36:54You've been abandoned twice, haven't you Georgie?
37:05First you lost your flock, and then you lost your human.
37:11That's the absolute worst thing to happen to a parrot, I reckon.
37:18Twice.
37:20Pfft!
37:21Cilia!
37:22Ah, there we go, a funny...
37:25Maybe that'll stop people seeing you pulling out your feathers now.
37:28It won't wash with me.
37:29Don't wash with me.
37:39I, um...
37:43I lost my flock too.
37:48Quite a lot actually.
37:49Sometimes right in front of me.
37:54Sometimes right in front of me.
38:00So I do know how it feels.
38:02It feels like your heart died with them.
38:08It feels like your heart died with them.
38:13Pfft!
38:17Oh...
38:18Easy.
38:34He's deteriorating rapidly.
38:37He's gone into shock.
38:38What?
38:39He's had a gastric dilation.
38:40What was that, mate?
38:41The stomach swelled, blocking the blood supply.
38:43Stop the car now!
38:45I need a stomach tube.
38:48My bag!
38:49I've left my bag!
38:50Must be something in the car.
38:52Hurry, Siegfried, I need to deflate it right away.
38:55It's alright, lad, it's alright.
38:57Oh, there's this.
38:59Should do the trick.
39:14There you go.
39:24Easy.
39:31Is he alright?
39:33Once we get him back to Skildale, he might have a chance.
39:35Let's go!
39:45Ow!
39:47What the hell are you using? Bloody vinegar?
39:49Where do you see it still?
39:54I've been thinking, Mrs. Hall.
39:57If you wanted to go to the drovers for an evening of darts,
40:05I'd be happy to join you.
40:08I'll tell Mackey tomorrow.
40:16How's he doing?
40:17He's had a gastric lavage, poor thing.
40:20He's a tough old customer.
40:22Probably in better shape than us, frankly.
40:24I could have handled that young upstart.
40:27I must have told you I was AVC middleweight runner-up 1918.
40:30Isn't runner-up losing?
40:32That's another way of putting it.
40:34You were right about Hensfield, Siegfried.
40:39You wonder how many other dogs this is happening to?
40:42I can't help them all.
40:44But you did right by that one.
40:48They don't ask for much, do they?
40:51Loyal, dependable.
40:54Willing to fight for their pack if required.
40:57When a human betrays that trust, it's heartbreaking.
41:04It makes you want to wring their neck.
41:09I hope the man in question can change.
41:13I'm sure he will.
41:14I'm sure he will.
41:18I'm going to write to Helen.
41:20I want to apologise for my behaviour.
41:23I'm mortified to think I might have made her uncomfortable here.
41:27There were a lot of reasons Helen needed to be at home.
41:31I still think of this as her home.
41:35I hope one day she might too.
41:44Is he better now?
41:45The good news is I don't think there is anything physically wrong with him.
41:56Such a relief.
41:58It's been so quiet round here without him, hasn't it?
42:01I could put a collar on him to help with the feather plucking,
42:04but usually the bird starts again after it's been removed.
42:08I would say your best bet is to just try and help him feel safe and relaxed.
42:12What's the bad news?
42:17Well, George has been through a lot.
42:21Truth is, it's going to take him some time to learn to love people again.
42:27No matter how much you love him.
42:31But we can keep trying, hmm?
42:34Yeah.
42:36Silly arse!
42:38Bugger!
42:39Oh my God.
42:42That's a new one.
42:45Mm-hmm.
42:46Oh.
42:48Oh God.
42:58Oh Mommy!
43:00Jimmy, armchair.
43:19Well, I have seen it all now.
43:20I don't know what's so remarkable. It's a partnership.
43:23Although one partner has the handwriting of a five-year-old.
43:26Is that a nine?
43:26Ah, yes.
43:28Ah, very good, Jimmy.
43:32Jimmy, that's an important document.
43:35Is everything all right, Mrs. Hill?
43:38Right, I want you all on your best behaviour, please.
43:42Everybody, this is Charlotte. Charlotte, everybody.
43:45How wonderful to have you here. Come in, come in.
43:47Sit on the receipts. It doesn't matter.
43:49How did you do, Harriet?
43:51No, wait. Harriet's Monday. So which one is this?
43:55Jim, I'm joking.
43:57I'm kidding.
43:58Can you make paper planes?
44:00Oh, I make fantastic paper planes.
44:02Sit there.
44:03Okay, I'm in here.
44:05Like this one, Jimmy.
44:08Not like that one, I hope.
44:10That was an appalling best plane.
44:11Oh, that was my best.
44:12Look at me.
44:13Yes, get Dad. Good idea.
44:15Get Uncle Triss.
44:16No.
44:17Stop it.
44:18Stop it.
44:19I'll get money if you can hit your father.
44:21Get Uncle Triss.
44:24Stop it.
44:25I'll get you.
44:26I'll get you.
44:26I'll get you.
44:26I'll get you.
44:26I'll get you.
44:27I'll get you.
44:27I'll get you.
44:28I'll get you.
44:28I'll get you.
44:28I'll get you.
44:28I'll get you.
44:28I'll get you.
44:29I'll get you.
44:29I'll get you.
44:29I'll get you.
44:30I'll get you.
44:30I'll get you.
44:30I'll get you.
44:30I'll get you.
44:31I'll get you.
44:31I'll get you.
44:32I'll get you.
44:32I'll get you.
44:32I'll get you.
44:32I'll get you.
44:32I'll get you.
44:33I'll get you.
44:33I'll get you.
44:34I'll get you.
