00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Oh, thank you, Jimmy.
00:41It wouldn't do to forget Triggy's birthday.
00:44Tell your mum and Rosie I said bye.
01:00Oh, my God.
01:30Oh, my God.
01:48What are you doing?
01:58Bloody car wouldn't start.
02:00Wherever you left it?
02:01Up at the Marshams.
02:03I thought Ronnie Marsham died.
02:05Mrs. Marsham was hosting a bridge game.
02:09Till this time in the morning?
02:10An all-night bridge session is nothing out of the ordinary.
02:13Sorry?
02:15Did you not have called someone to pick you up?
02:18I had to leave in something of a hurry.
02:21Where's your other shoe?
02:22I mislaid it.
02:27At a bridge game?
02:31Get in.
02:39It does sound Triggy's birthday, Marred.
02:40Don't leave it on the sink, then.
02:42Five miles done, and not a bit of it between the drover's snug and the drover's bar.
03:02And all before you've had your breakfast.
03:05Could you not sleep?
03:06Military training, Mrs. H.
03:08Discipline body, discipline mind.
03:10Is that bacon?
03:12Think you can make it the rest of the way now?
03:14Could have got here quick.
03:15I'm walking.
03:16What have you done to yourself?
03:18Why have you only got one shoe?
03:19Bridge.
03:21Nothing one of your restorative breakfasts couldn't fix, Mrs. Hall?
03:25I've got to go and look for Mrs. Pumphrey now.
03:27Mrs. Pumphrey?
03:29I've just had Sister Rose on the telephone.
03:31She reckons you're due there, half an hour ago.
03:34Sister Rose?
03:36Nice knowing you, old chap.
03:37I don't have an appointment with her.
03:39I'm worried about one of her rescue dogs.
03:42Said she called yesterday.
03:43Who did she speak to?
03:44Is there any more marmalade?
03:47We can't afford to get on the wrong side of Sister Rose.
03:50Every time she re-homes a dog, she tells the new owners to bring it here.
03:54We've lost enough business lately.
03:56Off you go to Sister Rose, I'll deal with Tricky.
03:58Why do I get Sister Rose?
03:59Don't mind for it if you can't organise yourself.
04:09That's my bacon.
04:10I don't need the voxel.
04:23There you go.
04:23Sorry, excuse me.
04:26Don't mind me, Mr. Herriot.
04:51You turn up whenever you fancy.
04:53I'm only late for my shift.
04:54Sorry, Sister Rose.
04:55And my dogs are used to being abandoned, so why worry?
04:58There was a mix-up with the appointments, but I'm here now.
05:01Shall we take a look at this dog?
05:03Uh-uh.
05:04You've heard of ladies first, haven't you?
05:06Of course.
05:08Sorry.
05:09After you.
05:11Your poor, poor wife.
05:12Even one unwanted dog is too many.
05:21Push now.
05:22Clive.
05:24Clive.
05:25Done.
05:25You think people want to adopt a badly behaved boy?
05:27I'm not telling you something else.
05:34I have not received the flea powder I requested.
05:36Three years I've been with you.
05:39I shouldn't have to chase it up.
05:40Again, I can only apologise.
05:43What seems to be the trouble?
05:45It's Geoffrey here.
05:47He hasn't been right for the last few days.
05:50Up all last night, vomiting.
05:51He does look weak.
05:53Where did you find him?
05:54Side of the road.
05:55On my way to the hospital.
05:57Curl up on a bit of muck.
05:59Soon as I saw him, I knew it was a Geoffrey.
06:01You certainly have a way with names.
06:03I like my dogs to have real ones.
06:05Like people.
06:07Did their new owners keep them?
06:09Why would you ever change a good name like Geoffrey?
06:12No reason at all.
06:15Can I have a look at you, Geoffrey?
06:21All right.
06:22All right.
06:23I know you learned not to trust.
06:26But Mr. Herriot means no harm.
06:29Now, there could be a few things causing it.
06:32He might have gastritis.
06:36We'll try stomach powders first.
06:39What if it's not gastritis?
06:41He might have swallowed something.
06:42I couldn't feel anything inside.
06:44But I can't be absolutely sure.
06:48You don't have an x-ray machine yet?
06:49There are other vets I can go to, you know.
06:52I've been discussing it with my business partner.
06:55We're ironing out the details.
06:56The hospital have just got a new one.
06:57The old one is for sale.
07:00Oh, well, I could certainly take a look.
07:02It's a x-ray machine.
07:04What, you want it to match your wallpaper?
07:06No, no, not at all.
07:08Good.
07:10When shall I say you'll be picking it up?
07:12Tricky, Tricky, come on.
07:32Yes, come on.
07:33Come on.
07:34Birthday boy.
07:36Tricky, come on.
07:37Oh, Tricky, what on earth is the matter?
07:41Morning, Mrs. Plumfrey.
07:42Oh, Uncle Farnon is here at last.
07:47Everything will be well.
07:49I brought him a little present.
07:51Bless you.
07:53It's not in the diet plan, but as it's his birthday.
07:57Tricky.
07:58Birthday bacon.
07:59Oh, yes, I see.
08:03You come for Uncle Farnon.
08:06It's me you've taken against.
08:08This does not sound like the happiest of birthday celebrations.
08:11He refuses to follow any of my instructions.
08:14He won't come.
08:15He won't sit.
08:16He won't roll over.
08:18Oh?
08:18Why is he being like this?
08:23Do you suppose I've said something to offend him?
08:27Surely not.
08:27Tricky.
08:30He can drift into unsavoury moods from time to time, but this is altogether different.
08:35Tricky.
08:38Look, perhaps he's simply grown tired of me.
08:41One does have to wonder if...
08:42Oh!
08:43Well, perhaps he can't hear you.
08:46What?
08:47Can't hear?
08:48Tricky.
08:51I don't think he can hear a thing.
08:53He came because of the smell of the bacon, not because I called him.
08:56Oh.
08:57Tricky.
09:00Uncle Farnon will take care of it.
09:05Uncle Farnon will take care of it.
09:11Yes, this man is infected.
09:14Bring him in for a good clean.
09:15Oh, sweet boy.
09:18Oh.
09:20I feel like I've been hit by a tractor.
09:23Oh, you just did more chance with a tractor.
09:25She has this way of making you do things, whether you want to or not.
09:30Walkies, James.
09:31Good boy, James.
09:35I think she sold me an x-ray machine.
09:38What?
09:39I mean, I've agreed to go and see it.
09:42James?
09:43It's not like I hadn't been thinking about it.
09:46The benefits would be enormous.
09:48And also, Sister Rose told you to do it.
09:52Sorry.
09:52She's my new hero, though.
09:55I bet she don't take any messing about from her patients.
09:58We've got to think about the future.
10:01I've worked in a modern practice.
10:03The one in Glasgow.
10:04That's how we should be thinking.
10:06Well, what will Siegfried do?
10:09Siegfried may be happy to let things slide.
10:13I'm not.
10:15Well, I look forward to his reaction.
10:17Although we'll probably hear it from the farm.
10:20He can say what he likes.
10:22I can't actually stand up for myself, you know.
10:31You've got a bad back or something?
10:35Me?
10:36Aye.
10:37I was wondering if that's what's stopped you.
10:40Getting a brush and sweeping up this mud you've walked in.
10:44Well, I've not walked it in.
10:46Well, it's not me.
10:49So unless bloody cows are wearing size tens and treading it in,
10:53it's you.
10:54It's not my mud.
10:56And it's not mine, neither.
10:58I'll brush it.
11:00No, he'll not.
11:02He will.
11:05It makes no sense.
11:15It must be Siegfried.
11:19You're a braver soul than me.
11:21I've been putting this off ever since I got back.
11:24As I said, military discipline.
11:26You learn to keep things organised.
11:27You know, some of these are no longer strictly legal.
11:35Are you bored?
11:38Being on leave?
11:40What?
11:42Comfortable bed?
11:43Home-cooked meals?
11:45Yeah, dreadfully bored.
11:47It's just you haven't sat still for five minutes.
11:49Wanting to be on the go all the time.
11:51When my Edward came home injured, he said the worst thing,
11:55we're not having anything to distract him.
11:59Distract him?
12:01Mm.
12:04From remembering, I suppose.
12:10Well, truth be told, Mrs Hall,
12:12Well, it is a relief to see my brother
12:18making someone else's life a misery.
12:20I know what James is going through.
12:21I'm not going to stand around and do nothing.
12:24I can see Siegfried's handwriting hasn't got me better.
12:31Boric acid.
12:32Oh, boric acid.
12:33Hello, can I...
12:52Mrs Hall, we seem to be out of coffee.
13:11Do you...
13:12Is this yours?
13:15One shoe looks rather like another to me.
13:17What was that lady doing with it?
13:19Why has she thrown it at me?
13:20If only she'd stayed, we could have asked her.
13:35Siegfried.
13:37Remember I was talking to you
13:38about bringing in some modern equipment?
13:40What have I done with the other one?
13:42And we discussed x-ray machines?
13:43Ah, yes, marvellous things.
13:45Well, an opportunity has arisen.
13:46Where on God's earth is it?
13:48And I felt it too good to refuse.
13:49I'll be having it delivered this week.
13:52Which one of you is the culprit?
13:54So that's all good with you, is it?
13:56What?
13:57Yes, you don't need to trouble me with every little thing.
14:02X-ray machine?
14:04I bet that's not cheap.
14:05I didn't hear Siegfried argue.
14:08And I'm sure he gave it his full and careful consideration.
14:11It's for the good of the practice.
14:13Whether he knows it or not.
14:19It's here.
14:30Is it supposed to be this big?
14:33Are you ready, stress?
14:34Well, I mean, I know that I'm made of muscle, Jim,
14:37but even for me, er...
14:38What's the matter between us?
14:39Don't bother.
14:39Okay.
14:42Take off the car, would you?
14:46Right.
14:46No chance.

23:22uh
23:23all right
23:24put your hand in there
23:26what this hand
23:29either hand is fine
23:30why don't your hand
23:31i'll be operating it
23:32well i can operate it
23:33how hard can it be
23:34it's my machine
23:35and these are my hands
23:36fighting hands
23:37hands that are required to protect the free world
23:39but these hands are paying for this thing
23:40is it safe
23:45well next day it's not going to do much harm
23:47get on with it
24:17it could be the fuse
24:28where on earth did you get it
24:32little quarter please
24:33so now we're broken so is the machine
24:35here we are
24:35hey let that be light
24:38oh i take it all back the man's an electrical wizard
24:41it's clearly too much for a domestic circuit
24:44we'll have to rewire a new board
24:45why don't we send out to someone who knows what they're doing
24:47oh no of course we've no money left
24:49we must probably have left since every invoice and receipt gets snuffed into the nearest vans
24:53which works perfectly well unlike that
24:55again you said they were marvelous things
24:58oh they are
24:58but if you ask me properly
25:00i might have suggested not buying the first one you saw
25:02nothing to see here jude
25:10nothing to see here jude
25:10why are the electrics off
25:25why are the electrics off
25:39nothing to do with me
25:40james walking out like that
25:47nothing to do with you either
25:50did i stake the practice on a defunct x-ray machine
25:53an x-ray machine
25:56exciting
25:58it's useless
25:58a blind mole rat would have more chance of seeing through things
26:02well that's frustrating
26:04i imagine it could be of great benefit to the practice
26:07i'm sure you told him so
26:09mrs hall i have my ways
26:11i do them because they work
26:13you're very lucky
26:15to have someone who puts up with your ways
26:17it's all very well
26:18people coming in and out
26:19telling me what to do
26:20i'm here
26:21i'm the only one who bloody well has been
26:24i know
26:31it's not been easy for you these last few years
26:35but it might be wise not to get on the wrong side of everyone you meet
26:40i beg your pardon
26:42don't talk about a blind mole rat
26:43digging his tunnel in a temper
26:46no idea it's falling in behind him
26:49god help anyone who happens to be in the way
26:51did you just call me a mole rat
26:53this is a village
26:54and if you go around upsetting people
26:55they can make it difficult for you
26:57they can make things difficult for me
27:00i don't know what you mean
27:01mr jubb
27:02the green grocer
27:03it's not so much him as his sister
27:06oh good grief
27:07no she's one of your
27:08successors
27:10i gave her the job in good faith
27:12but honestly how many times do you have to say soft boiled
27:14there is a limit
27:15how long was she here
27:17three and a half days
27:19i know you don't mean to hurt anyone
27:23i know it would upset you to think that you had
27:26but you just don't realise
27:30if people misunderstand me
27:32there's very little i can do about it
27:33mr fan it's not the worst thing in the world
27:36to admit you're wrong
27:37it's almost like you've done it on purpose
27:48i'm not doing it at all
27:51what you should do is get your own house
27:54that way you can tread in as much mud as you like
27:56tough to bits i got to meet sister rose
27:59i should send a nurse's hat to fight the germans
28:02what would have been sewn up in no time
28:05so you got your x-ray machine then
28:06aye and there were some teething problems
28:08but it still doesn't justify the way siegfried spoke to me
28:11in front of clients
28:12when you stood up to him
28:13jenny eggs
28:14she says you struggled to get the thing through the door
28:18and then it blew the electrics
28:21she'll count herself looking
28:23it's only mud you're treading in
28:24if it was his idea
28:26it'd be the best thing ever
28:27but when it comes from me
28:28you know going out buying a whopping great machine
28:30without discussing it
28:31is a very siegfried thing to do
28:32what do you mean by that
28:35i mean one of them
28:38is quite enough
28:39all right get a broom
28:44sweep it up
28:47it is
29:14rather a good investment
29:15you know
29:16well i can't say it
29:17since i can't see it in action
29:19hmm
29:20maybe we could try it
29:23on the inside of your head
29:25find out what actually
29:26happens in there
29:28ah just in time
29:49observe
29:50what did you do
29:55the machine
29:55the machine is now on a separate circuit
29:56with its own fuse board
29:58you learn many different skills in the core
30:00you know
30:00well done
30:01don't know what you'll do with all those lamps now
30:04mr harriot
30:12mr harriot
30:14mr harriot
30:17it's jeffrey
30:19you won't stop vomiting
30:21bring him in
30:22you said the stomach powders were clearing it
30:29he hasn't missed a single dose
30:31perhaps jeffrey doesn't have gastritis after all
30:34well what else could it be
30:36have you checked for any foreign bodies
30:37i couldn't feel one
30:39but his abdomen was very tense
30:41what do you think
30:45hey
30:49no i can't feel anything either
30:54and the muscles are very tense
30:56so he's guarding his abdomen
30:57must be very painful
31:00it was getting better
31:02i'm sorry sister rose
31:03that can happen while the object makes its way through the system to the pulp
31:06helped by the stomach powders no doubt
31:09it's possible yes
31:10the problem is there are other potential explanations
31:13normally we'd risk the surgery if we weren't sure
31:16but jeffrey is so frail
31:18he was clearly fending for himself for some time before you found him
31:21but if he don't operate
31:24and he has swallowed something
31:26we could lose him i'm afraid
31:29thankfully we don't have to guess
31:35tris
31:38all right lad all right
31:40that's it
31:41all right lad
31:43you're all right
31:51bring her across please
31:53all right jeffrey
31:55let's get you x-rayed
31:56afternoon
31:58mr farnham
32:01i'd like to speak to you about your sister
32:03it seems i
32:05beryl
32:05oh
32:06she's here
32:07how
32:08how lucky for me
32:09yes
32:13i wanted to apologise for anything i may have said or done
32:17i've not even heard some of those words before
32:20the way you were treated was wholly inappropriate and the blame was entirely mine
32:26oh
32:28at least you've had the gumption to admit it
32:31right well um
32:36good day to you both
32:38your account's still overdue by the way
32:41so i still can't say for sure if there's a foreign body
32:48it's not a very good image
32:50i need better exposure
32:51our facilities are quite limited
32:52take another x-ray we can develop it at the hospital
32:55i think that would be the best course of action
32:57like i say
32:59i can't operate on a poorly dog if we're not absolutely certain
33:01may i
33:02vomiting for 48 hours or so
33:09subsided after stomach powders
33:11vomiting again for several hours earlier today
33:13and you examined him thoroughly
33:14of course
33:15he had a very tense abdomen
33:17i say operate
33:18the dog is extremely weak
33:21he's been nursed back to full health by sister rose after living wild
33:24i'm not sure he survives the surgery
33:26if he has swallowed something
33:29and we wait for better x-rays he may not make it
33:31but of course it's your decision
33:34james
33:38he's just vomited again
33:40mr herriott
33:43we operate
33:54there you go
33:57a cup of tea
33:59very kind mrs hall
34:00look at me
34:02you think i'd be used to this kind of thing by now
34:04well it's because you care
34:06it's hard being on the other side
34:10i'm not used to feeling helpless
34:13i suppose as a nurse
34:15you can't let yourself get too close
34:17i try to be like that with the dogs
34:20to keep up a wall you know
34:22but sometimes they get by
34:24like that rascal
34:26he's cleared the wall
34:28and how did he manage that
34:31he stayed at the poor creature when i found him
34:36he was at his lowest
34:40but i could see he had a good heart
34:43you know i don't think many people would see what you see
34:47and sometimes he will snap at people and growl
34:51but he is only like that because he was hurt
34:54damaged
34:56he has to learn to trust again
34:59what if he can't
35:05i haven't found one that can't mrs hall
35:08they all want the same thing
35:11a home
35:12and love
35:14and also they need to know they are not the ones in charge
35:19sister rose
35:24he'd swallowed a pebble
35:26oh jeffrey
35:27we've managed to remove it
35:28and how is he now
35:30he's doing well
35:32but he's been through the wars
35:34all we can do now is hope for the best
35:37he seems comfortable
35:45i hope so
35:46he's at a rough time
35:47of course if you've thoroughly examined the dog in the first place
35:50i told you he was guarding his abdomen
35:52there's no way anyone could have known
35:54i might not have operated if you hadn't given a second opinion
36:02well we always need to take a view
36:06maybe once we've ironed out the problems with that new machine there'll be less margin for error
36:12you can wipe that bloody grin off your face
36:16i've never been against new equipment or ideas
36:18i just want to say in which ones and when
36:21sorry
36:23perhaps i should have consulted you properly
36:26perhaps i should have let you
36:28it is an expensive piece of kit
36:34i know
36:35but the war's almost over
36:37the world has changed
36:40we need to change with it
36:41i think we already have
36:43get a broom
37:10this still
37:13your problem is you take this place for bloody granted
37:17not the only one either
37:20jenny's finally applied for nursing college
37:25when did this happen
37:26sent the letter last week
37:28we think it were just the war holding her back
37:31we'll have another sister rose eh
37:33don't tell anyone
37:34she don't want folk knowing in case she don't get in
37:37of course she'll get in
37:38i'll put that fence back
37:41she'd hold for now anyway
37:43what's wrong with you lot
37:46dad are them your boots
37:53grandad said that other boots make the farmer
37:56oh he did did he

39:29we shall have words

39:32i'm afraid that were mrs pumprey on the telephone
39:35oh lord
39:36she wants you to call over
39:38urgent apparently
39:39i told her it would take time to heal
39:40what don't forget jimmy's cart

40:00no it's not about his ears
40:02it's not

40:05tricky isn't as young as he was
40:09time trickles through one's fingers doesn't it
40:12time has a habit of doing that yes
40:14i always thought the tricky would be here long after me
40:16but perhaps i was wrong
40:17i couldn't bear to be left alone
40:19i don't follow
40:21oh i'd like to breed from him
40:23breed from tricky
40:25oh don't you be offended young man
40:29no
40:29no one can replace you
40:31not even your own offspring
40:33mrs pumprey
40:34i don't want to waste a moment longer
40:35you understand that any owner
40:37would want to ensure his dog's breeding partner
40:39was in good health
40:41tricky's fighting fit
40:42and where do you propose to find this pekinese partner
40:46i thought you could help with that

40:49well you're the only uncle i would trust
40:52the only one who remembered his birthday
40:54oh but i wasn't
40:56the delay was simply that

43:19our dispensary
43:22there were former staff in there who didn't know the war was over
