00:00Midland
00:06Midland
00:08Don't you?
00:10Flatbottom if you've got it
00:16What the hell do you think you're doing?
00:18Helping
00:20No you're not, you can't
00:22I said you wanted help with the war?
00:24Aye, not with the putting
00:26Sorting's all you're good for
00:28Big, small, Midland
00:30Funny shaped ones
00:32You start off sorting, then picking
00:34After three or four years you get to the putting
00:36Aye, then you get to the putting
00:38Three or four years?
00:39Listen, form is a way of life
00:41It's in us bones
00:43You've got to live it to know it, at least who have lived it
00:45It's in us bones
00:47Is that my voice you was meant to be doing then?
00:49Your cheeky so-and-so
00:51Come on, you've been promoted to picking
00:53Aye, our picking
00:54Have you been to the stable to check on Joan and the Littlin?
00:56That's exactly where I'm off to next
00:58Good luck, James
01:00I think I can manage to pick up a few rocks
01:02The stones, they're not rocks you're picking up, they're stones
01:06Stones
01:07Make sure you give a plenty of-
01:08Plenty of hair, I know
01:12Rounded Midland
01:14Right, rounded
01:16Middle
01:17Here we go
01:18This one looks about right
01:20Perfect
01:21Are you kidding me?
01:25Come and see this
01:29Come on, Rosie
01:30Can we take the baby to see the pony?
01:32Come on, Jimmy lad
01:33Let's go
01:37I saw that, Dad
01:38Aye, I've got neighbours to think of
01:40Be a bloody laughing stock
01:42Come on
01:45Morning, Alice
01:48Taff
01:51Isn't she adorable?
01:53She's getting cheeky
01:55Maybe that's what we should call her
01:57I still think we should call her Coco
01:59Coco and Candy
02:00Folk will think we're running a blooming sweet shop
02:02Ah, Candy, her grandmother
02:04Still can't believe it
02:05It's all down hill from now on, lass
02:07This came for you
02:09It's from nursing college
02:26You got in?
02:28I got in
02:30She got in!
02:37Thank you, Mrs Hall
02:43Very good
02:51Mr Farnham, I have a little request
02:53Oh?
02:54Yes, I'd like to request a leave
02:56To go to Edward's
02:58Mary's first birthday's coming up
03:00Weekend after next
03:02I see
03:05Would that be alright?
03:06Yes, of course
03:08I'll be sure to make you a couple of pies
03:10Hopefully that'll see you through
03:12I coped perfectly well before when you weren't here
03:13I won't need your pies
03:15Mrs H, I'm in dire straits
03:17I'm going riding with Charlotte later
03:19I've fished down my breeches and, well, look
03:22Who?
03:23Possibly not the beautiful Yorkshire view she had in mind
03:26Would you like me to put a stitch in them?
03:28That's possible
03:29Of course it is
03:30Thank you
03:31Also, do either of you have the foggiest idea about playing croquet?
03:34I believe when one plays on horseback it's known as polo
03:36No, it's for tomorrow
03:38The general's croquet lunch
03:39Well, you'll excel at half of that
03:41I'd like him to think I'm not a complete Neanderthal
03:44I'll say what I can think of
03:45You're a wonder
03:47Have me moments
03:48And this man fought a war?
03:49Won a war
03:51James?
03:52Cutting it a little fine this morning, don't you think?
03:54But you're just finishing your breakfast
03:56To be early is to be on time
03:57To be on time is to be late
03:59Cup of tea
04:00Please
04:01Out of the question
04:02Our work appointments call
04:03Onwards to work we go
04:04Mrs. Stokes and Hilda?
04:14Here
04:15Where's the goat?
04:16Oh, well, she's lame
04:18And you came all the way here to tell me that without her?
04:21It's not quite as simple as that, Mr. Farnham
04:31Oh, what on?
04:32If you want me to look at her, you'll have to help me catch her
04:35All right, you are
04:37Come here
04:38Come here at once
04:39Oh, heavens
04:40Lame
04:42That's not lame
04:44I could have sworn her I saw her this morning with a dodgy leg
04:47James?
04:48Tristan?
04:49Mr. Farnham?
04:50Mrs. Hilda, this is not a laughing matter
04:52I need James and Tristan to come out and help me here pronto
05:00Listen, Thomas is Hospital London
05:02Sounds right posh, that, doesn't it?
05:04That's why Florence Nightingale set up the first training school for nurses
05:07Do you hear that, Dad?
05:08Aye
05:10Florence Nightingale?
05:11Ain't that something, eh?
05:13Oh, aye
05:14Ignore him
05:15Probably doesn't even know who Florence Nightingale is
05:17Oh, of course I really do
05:19It says here, your registration date
05:22It's in three weeks' time
05:24Three weeks?
05:26I could call up and see if I can defer
05:30Oh, you can't do that
05:31No, you haven't got a telephone
05:33But you don't want to lose a place, Dad
05:34Well, if it's leaving you in the lurch, I could ask
05:36Maybe they'll keep my spot until next year
05:38No, there's no telling they'll be willing to do that
05:40No, it's all right
05:42There's no need to fret
05:43It gives us plenty of time to get you sorted, eh?
05:45That's us that pad and pen
05:46What for?
05:47A list
05:48We'll write everything down and we'll cross it off as we go
05:50That way we'll be sure not to miss anything
05:57Get off
05:58Get off
05:59Get off
06:00Mrs Stokes, there is no sign of lameness in this goat
06:03But are you sure, Mr Farmer?
06:06Having finally concluded my examination
06:08And bearing in mind her antics in the square
06:10I'm quite sure
06:11Eh, well, I'm sorry to have wasted your time
06:15No time wasted
06:17We're not a charity
06:18See Mrs Hall about my consultation fee
06:20Oh, come on
06:31Thank you all for coming
06:33To my little sister
06:35Off to save lives in the big city
06:38We'll miss you
06:39And London
06:40You're very lucky to have her
06:41Yeah
06:42Congratulations, Jenny
06:43Well, they're not
06:44Thank you for it, mind
06:46Look they like down there
06:48Miserable so-and-sos
06:50Oh, like home from home then
06:53Have you ever been to London, Richard?
06:54Nope
06:55Won't want to either
06:57Especially now it's been bombed out
06:58Thanks for that, Dad
06:59Jenny will be all right
07:00She'll make friends in no time
07:02That was certainly my experience of basic training
07:04Come raggedy with the lads
07:06Going out to the dance halls
07:07Well, there'll be no dance halls
07:08Yes, there was a little place
07:09Called the Blue Lagoon
07:10I used to frequent in my younger days
07:12Would you mind?
07:13Mixed clientele
07:14But something for everyone
07:15If you catch my drift
07:16There'll be no catching of any drifts
07:18Dad, I've been to dances before
07:20Not London dances you haven't
07:21Come on, Richard
07:22You can't keep it locked up forever
07:23I look forward to seeing you
07:25When your roses leaving home
07:28Jenny's not leaving home
07:33What?
07:34Well, you're not, are you?
07:35You're going to nursing college
07:36And then you're coming back
07:37If I haven't given it much thought
07:39Yes, you see
07:41The fledgling spreads its wings
07:42And flies the nest
07:43And all you can do
07:44Is hope it doesn't get plucked
07:45Out of the air
07:46By some passing eagle
07:47Or worse
07:48Come back like my brother
07:49Ow!
07:50You've done a lovely job
07:51With this cake, Alan
07:52Oh, thank you
07:55When are you going to see little Mary?
07:57Wake on Sunday
07:58Oh, bet you can't wait
07:59I can't
08:00I'm really looking forward to seeing her
08:02She'll have changed so much
08:03This cake is nice
08:05This cake is nice
08:06How long are you going for?
08:07None
08:08Till the birthday cake runs out
08:09I should imagine
08:11What will you do without her Siegfried?
08:15Carry on
08:16As I always have
08:31Thank you
08:35I'm very impressed with your riding
08:40You say that like I wasn't clinging on for dear life the entire time
08:44You're still coming to lunch tomorrow, aren't you?
08:46Absolutely
08:47Love a croquet lunch
08:48As long as you're no Aunt Emma
08:50What? Is she hopeless?
08:52It's what you call a dull player
08:54Yeah, of course
08:55Of course
08:56No, no one's ever called me Aunt Emma
08:58I rather thought not
09:01So, does General Beauvoir know I'm coming as your, um
09:06Your paramour?
09:08Oh, is that what you are?
09:09Yes
09:10Ah
09:11Although I'm not entirely sure what one is, actually
09:14I don't need my father to approve of my choice of paramour
09:18It's been tried
09:19Not with a vet, I suspect
09:22Once he spends some time with you away from the stables, he'll be fine
09:26Wait till he gets an eye full of me whacking the balls through the posts
09:29Hoops
09:31Oh, precisely
09:34So, Jenny, is there much preparatory reading?
09:36They send a list of books
09:38Mr Farnham could lend you some of his books
09:40Could happen, human anatomy is a bit different
09:43Aye
09:45Where will you be staying?
09:46I'll find out when I get there
09:49What?
09:50Oh, you'll just knock on London's door and say hello, I'm Jenny Alderson, can I keep here for the night?
09:54I'm sure Jenny's thought about it
09:55Oh, aye, sounds like it
09:56They sort the accommodation
09:59At least I think they do
10:01It'll be fine
10:02Stop mithering and eat some more cake
10:05We're worried about you
10:06You don't need to be
10:11Someone should go and check up on the horses
10:13Excuse me
10:14She's no idea what she's getting into
10:24She imagines they'll just roll out the red carpet for her like she's dick-blooming Whittington
10:29Helen
10:30I asked her to make a list
10:35Have a look at the state of that
10:37Welly's socks
10:39Seem sensible so far
10:40Yeah, we're helping her to start with
10:41Keep reading
10:43Knickers times three
10:45Helen, I'm not sure she'll be reading this
10:46Three
10:47Three pairs
10:49Don't know what she thinks she'll be wearing the other four days of the week
10:52Maybe she plans on turning them inside out
10:55Don't
10:56Don't
10:57Sorry
11:01Helen, do you all work it out?
11:05Are you alright?
11:07It's not me we need to be worried about
11:10It's her
11:12She's not ready
11:14Not one bit of it
11:15One bit of it
11:39What are you doing?
11:40Fancy an omelette? Good use of stale bread?
11:42I was about to ask Mrs Hall for some proper lunch before I go out
11:45Man cannot survive on cucumber sandwiches alone
11:48Mrs Hall is outside learning the rules of croquet for your benefit
11:51Not really?
11:52You don't need to bother her every time you want anything
11:54She's not at our beck and call
11:56We could all just share the load a little more
11:58As long as you don't expect me to eat that
12:00How do you like your eggs, sir?
12:01Oh, incinerated
12:03I'm quite capable of preparing a meal
12:05I was in the army, they used to teach you to look after yourself once upon a time
12:07No, it's burning
12:09What if now it's burning? Because you distracted me
12:11Are you sure you don't want me to ask Mrs Hall?
12:13I'm perfectly fine, thank you
12:14Thank you
12:27Mrs Hall?
12:29Let's give this croquet business a quick go, shall we?
12:32Oh, I got you this from the library, no?
12:38Nice
12:43Oh, well then
12:45Have a whirl
12:46Come on
12:47Come on
12:49You're very good
12:51Oh, well then
12:53Here you go
12:57What?
12:58All ready? You've packed everything.
13:21All done. I did the list like you said.
13:23You can check it.
13:24Everything's crossed off.
13:26Ugh. I didn't want you worrying.
13:28Thank you. Writing it all down really helped.
13:31That's what I'm here for.
13:33The only thing was the towels. I wasn't sure which to take.
13:35Oh, I'll sort that out.
13:37Have you been down the stables?
13:39Er, no, not yet.
13:41Well, I'd better go then.
13:52Right, Sam.
13:53Strike!
13:54What?
13:55You went to swing the...
