00:00The End
00:52Water!
01:05Water!
01:07Water!
01:09Water!
01:25Water, about a mile back.
01:27Horse through him, got a broken leg, been out all night.
01:30Walter?
01:31Shepard man, friend of mine.
01:34Well, are you coming or not?
01:36Of course we're coming.
01:59Well, we're too far from Wellingham and our German friend.
02:05What vet?
02:07What vet?
02:08A vet.
02:09Did my sheep?
02:11A vet.
02:12Where is the vet?
02:12North or south.
02:13Where is he?
02:14Manor.
02:17Manor?
02:18A manor house.
02:19A manor house, is that it?
02:20A manor house?
02:24Sloot.
02:26Sloot.
02:28Spence.
02:53Has he gone?
02:55Who?
02:56Our big husky commissar.
02:57Oh, yes.
02:59He prowled round the stables for a bit and then off he went.
03:02We must teach the people.
03:03You're probably the only vet in the country.
03:06Don't put your daughter on the stage, Mrs. Millen.
03:09Make her a vet.
03:11What's he going to do anyway?
03:12Round everybody up and force them here to be lectured?
03:15He's persuasive enough.
03:18Bit intense, I thought.
03:20That's passion.
03:21That's what?
03:22He'll appeal to the women.
03:24Well, you should know.
03:26Greg.
03:27Hey, you watch it.
03:29Short for Gregory, I suppose.
03:49Hello.
03:51Oh.
03:52Is this, uh, Sloot Spence?
03:55Sloot and Spence, yes.
03:56Ah.
03:57I'm Charles Vaughan.
03:59Oh.
03:59Philip Hurst.
04:00Are you ill?
04:01No.
04:03How do you do?
04:04How do you do?
04:05I gather you're a vet.
04:06Oh, well, more human than animal nowadays, I'm afraid.
04:08Ah.
04:09Well, we have a man with a broken leg about three miles south.
04:12We don't move him.
04:13Oh.
04:13I'll go and tell Janet.
04:15Um, she's the vet.
04:17Oh.
04:27All right, Charles?
04:27Come on, sir.
04:28Yep, right.
04:37Oh.
04:43Oh.
04:44Oh.
04:45Oh.
04:46Oh.
04:47Oh.
04:50Oh.
04:52Oh.
04:53of horses. Mind you, I've raided a few Colleen surgeries. Not as much danger from
04:59dogs in the country. Well, not then anyway. Are the drugs you used the same
05:05that doctors used? Oh, yes. Why? Oh, I was just thinking about a friend we had who went
05:11into Birmingham once for antibiotics. We never thought of vets. What happened to
05:16him? He died.
05:25All right to watch? Yes, of course. Come in.
05:31Incredible, isn't it? This was Janet's practice before. Oh, I see. I was just thinking about
05:36Paul. No need to go into cities. Aye, well we learn. At a rough guess I'd say you're about
05:44as useful as a doctor. Sorry, I didn't mean. I know.
05:54Oh, you must get about a lot. Yes, I do. Do you go far? As far as I have to.
05:59As far as
06:00I can. Because there's brucellosis about 60 miles south of here. How many? Well, we think it's
06:06run its course now and about 20 cows died but a friend of ours went down with it. How long?
06:09Sorry? Well, how long has he had it? About a week. Fever? To begin with. How old is he?
06:15Well, she's about... About my age. She'll be all right. Behind you in the cupboard there's
06:21some wire.
06:22There. That's it. Can you place it over his face? Now don't worry. We're giving you an
06:30anaesthetic. We'll be fast asleep in no time. Place it each side. Jenny, if you can open
06:36that thing over there and get a large pad of cotton wool. Where's Hubert? Oh, Philip's
06:43teaching him about horses. He used to be a breeder. That's right. Good practice for you two.
06:48Now put the pad over the wire netting. That's it. Charles, there's a pair of scissors in that
06:54drawer.
06:58Can you just try his leg from the thigh, will you? This one? Yes, that's right. But gently.
07:04He's got a fracture of the femur. Do you know that a doctor wasn't allowed to practice on
07:11animals but a vet could on humans? Good heavens. You see, a vet was trained as an applied scientist.
07:18A doctor was constructed not to think of anything else alive except humans. In our situation,
07:23vets are infinitely more valuable. We're used to disinfectants, controlling the environment.
07:28We hardly ever referred our patients. Not like doctors. And as far as emergencies go, we can
07:34do almost anything provided... I should stand back if I were you. Provided we have the anaesthetic.
07:40Now breathe deeply. Come on. Deeply. Finish the trousers when he's under. Keep breathing. Keep breathing.
07:53Fluethane. Pardon? Fluethane. Before, we used it in conjunction with oxygen.
08:01Oh, I see. Hence the wire and the cotton wool, no oxygen. We ran out of oxygen ages ago.
08:06What happens when you run out of fluethane? Well, suppose we'll just have to get used to it.
08:11Pain is something we'd largely got rid of. But we managed before anaesthetics.
08:15Thank you. Not very well. Oh, come on. Trafalgar chaps got their legs shot off.
08:20They cried out, oh, had me leg shot off. Got slugged on rum or whatever it was.
08:24Old sore bones lopped off the legs, slapped hot tar on the stump and that was it. Cheers. Cheers.
08:33There are substitute anaesthetics.
08:35Like a synthesis of pethidine.
08:38How on earth did you know about that?
08:40Ah, we've met people. Yeah.
08:43That's aspirin. From Willowbark.
08:49And there's a fellow we met called Bill Sheridan.
08:52He's an expert on homeopathic medicine.
08:55You see, it's quite apparent to me that we've enough skill and inventiveness to really get things moving again.
09:01All it needs is organising, a federation of communities.
09:06Sorry.
09:07I'm sorry. It's a private joke.
09:11Look, what about tonight?
09:13We've got beds and we can feed you.
09:19And hot baths. It's a back boiler.
09:23You warm enough?
09:25Yeah, I'll do.
09:28Here, who's going to look after you, O'Shea?
09:33You off.
09:35I'm talking more than telling you I'm getting a bit fed up with charging around all over the place.
09:40I'll ask her about you, Shane.
09:42She'll get somebody.
09:47Dessert?
09:49Dessert, yeah.
09:51No.
09:52I went out like a light.
09:55It's a bit now, though.
10:13Some people can do everything, can't they?
10:16Women even know.
10:18Behaving as if they had money.
10:20As if they were old barris.
10:24Can't make it out.
10:25No.
10:26It's funny, isn't it?
10:28Damn funny.
10:47Oh, well.
10:49They've even got bath salts.
10:51It's going to ruin our surviving technique.
10:53Oh, it's just for one night.
10:55They've seen nice people.
10:57Hmm? Yes. Yes.
11:00If...
11:01If Greg really thought about me and wanted me...
11:05Look, Jen.
11:11Don't let all this fool you.
11:13These people can't live like this forever.
11:16They depend on other people swapping food for treatment.
11:20But what happens if the population falls?
11:22Or...
11:23Will they fall ill themselves?
11:25Where's the support, eh?
11:29Greg...
11:29Greg...
11:30Greg...
11:30knew this.
11:31And if it seems...
11:33he's been neglecting you, then it's for all our sakes, all right?
11:37Hmm.
11:37Mm-hmm.
11:45Poncey smells.
11:49How can you do this?
11:56This is one of our stills.
11:58For drinking?
12:00I'm afraid not.
12:01It's a substitute for petrol.
12:03Every now and then we take the car out when we've got enough.
12:06And we keep the grass down.
12:07But it's a long, slow process.
12:10I find you have to go further afield each time for veterinary supplies.
12:12Exactly.
12:15You know...
12:16You have a fair-sized community living here.
12:19People could come to watch and learn.
12:22Eventually they could go out and form their own groups.
12:24You could...
12:24You could test them before they went, examine them.
12:27The National School of Veterinary Medicine.
12:29You probably are the only vets in the country.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Well, in our experience, most people who come here aren't really interested in what we can do.
12:36They're in the way of development, aren't they?
12:38You and your kind are few and far between, you know.
12:40They're gonna have to be organised, aren't they?
12:42Always have bosses.
12:43That's right.
12:44It pleases with democracy.
12:45Survival comes first.
12:48Well...
12:48Yeah, it's quite extraordinary.
12:50Only this morning I was listening to exactly the same words.
12:54That's the pony club I used to help with.
12:56We got to Horse of the Year show in 73.
12:59Mounted games.
13:01That's our police dogs we used to look after.
13:04Who's that?
13:06The boy.
13:07Oh, that was my son.
13:09He was away during the death.
13:11So was my husband.
13:13He was up in Edinburgh on a business trip.
13:15I never saw either of them again.
13:19And that must have been taken just before.
13:21Well, you can see from the notice there.
13:23We had an outbreak of foot and mouth.
13:25That really saved us, because it meant that people had to stay away.
13:27So when I heard the news on the radio, I had plenty of time to disinfect the approaches to the
13:32house.
13:33To Mrs Millen with love for pony club.
13:39Oh, look.
13:41I'm boring you.
13:42How about another drink?
13:44Jenny?
13:47What is it?
13:50What was his name, your son?
13:52Why?
13:53Your son's name.
13:55Why?
13:57Was it John?
13:59We have a boy called John.
14:01John Millen.
14:03He's nine now.
14:05We found him.
14:06Where?
14:07Not here.
14:08Down south.
14:09He was down south.
14:11He said he'd been staying with his granny, and she died.
14:14I went to look for him.
14:16I found my mother, but John had gone.
14:19He's fair, round-faced.
14:21He's got a mole on his back.
14:23Yes.
14:25He's alive.
14:26He's at a place called Chalamet.
14:28It's where we left to come up here.
14:31He's being looked after.
14:32There's a very nice woman there called Pet who looks after him,
14:35and she's very warm-hearted and lovely.
14:39And she...
14:41Oh, John.
14:47My son's there too, Paul.
14:51He's still only a baby.
14:55You went to a prep school, John.
14:58Oh, that's right.
14:59That's right.
15:01Oh, Janet.
15:05I was going to tell Charles.
15:13Jenny.
15:14It's John's mother.
15:15Jenny's Greg.
15:16It's John's mother.
15:17Greg was here.
15:17He was here.
15:18Janet Millen.

19:57well all right so he's got some good ideas
19:59but he's not going to change the world overnight
20:02and even if he's your friend
20:04well it's not as important as Janet
20:06finding her son
20:08surely
20:16he's the father of my child
20:19my husband
20:20but
20:21I thought he said the girl was Swedish

21:54I'll keep a look out for Charles.
21:57He's bound to come back here with or without Greg.
21:59Anyway, we've got Hubert riding shotgun till tomorrow night.
22:02Hubert's a good shot, aren't you, Hubert?
22:04What can manage?
22:05Charles has given you the rendezvous, that place by the river.
22:08He's promised to meet up with us tomorrow night.
22:10That's not even two days.
22:12It's not that, it's just that...
22:16Anyway, Philip, thank you very much for everything.
22:27Poor girl.
22:28A baby one end of the earth.
22:30A man.
22:33Goodbye, my love.
22:34Oh, don't say goodbye. I'll see you soon.
22:36Yes, with my son.
22:39He might not seem very much like me.
22:41It won't make me love you any the less.
22:43We'll have a big reunion.
22:44I've still got those fireworks.
22:46They'll be damned.
22:47No, they won't. I'll put them in the airing cupboard.
22:49Check the reservoir supply.
22:50I will.
22:51And watch Walter's toes.
22:52If they turn the slightest shade, slacking off the splints.
22:54Don't worry.
22:55Don't forget the generator.
22:57Get off.
22:58Bye.
23:00Bye.
23:35Come on.
23:35Come on.
23:35Come on.
23:48Come on.
23:55Hey, how are we doing?
23:57All right.
24:00What are you doing?
24:01We're building a house.
24:03Who far?
24:04Us.
24:05John and me.
24:06What's wrong with the one you got?
24:10We're playing mothers and fathers.
24:24No luck?
24:27Dead in the door now.
24:29Is the battery all right?
24:32I checked it with a hydrometer.
24:34Seems okay.
24:40Seems ages since they left.
24:43They'll be back.
25:00Down, Jerry.
25:01Down, Jerry.
25:12Stay down.
25:13Follow.
25:13Go.
25:14Go.
25:18Lead in the door
25:21Go.
25:21Down, down, down.
25:33Come on.
25:35Stay down.
25:35Oh, no.
25:39Go.
25:39No.
25:39Go.
25:40Go.
25:40All right.
25:40Go.
25:40Go.
25:44of course it was a rather silly thing to do hey what was oh to jump up like that Jenny
25:50you're quite right you could have got yourself killed easy as wink still it was very brave of
25:54you Hubert Charles must have confidence to leave us with you hmm well now did I tell you about the
26:01time before the death when I was a shepherd one of my sheep got stuck on a ledge halfway down
26:05the quarry stuck far she was I went down there got a rope I wouldn't hold me in case I
26:12fell I brought
26:13that sheep back up I did but what did you do for handhold well you were carrying the sheep on
26:20your
26:20back how on earth did you hold on feet all the best climbers use their feet didn't you know that
26:27quite true climbing is all balance they are feet anyway you did save my life thank you very much
27:01I'm sorry Jenny
27:07was Hubert
27:07you see I think we got it all wrong
27:19I kept thinking as I was chasing Greg White Cross was fine for a time we learned to be to
27:25be
27:25independent to survive but it's not in the center either geographically or actively there's a lot
27:30going on in the Midlands in the north Janet's place is ideal Chaloner is just a a temporary halt and
27:38you're the kind of doctor that any settlement could do with could be foreman Janet with you at Sloughton Spencer
27:45how many of you are there two adults two children and a baby hmm that's all really a Chaloner anyway
27:52there's
27:53us two as well obviously I'll have to ask Philip of course of course but is it on oh yes
27:59yes why not
28:02well we'd be able to do more reccees more searches and after that we could bring the others down for
28:07in White Cross yes I know I
28:10think it's a good idea it's time I did something positive oh not you oh yes I was rather skeptical
28:16about your friend
28:17Greg I had no right to be not even skeptical about Hubert's ability to shepherd us
28:23what matters is staying together yes
28:32never mind Jenny not long now before you see Paul
28:52how far to go about 50 miles coming far from Seth's place at Linden can we make the four o
29:00'clock call
29:03oh we should get there in time if we hurry
29:17how far to go about 50 miles
29:47Jack oh we thought we'd missed you we're at Linden we're on our way to Chaloner yeah now listen

35:32it's two years
35:32a child grows a lot in two years
35:34he might hardly remember me
35:36oh I can't believe that
35:38it's actually longer than two years
35:39he was at his granny's for a month before they
35:42well before it happened
35:44well he's very normal
35:45very well adjusted really considering
35:47it's remarkable
35:51I'm quite terrified actually
35:53he obviously loved you a great deal
35:56he talked about me
35:57no that's the point he didn't
36:02here we go
36:13he didn't say goodbye to the cows
36:20did you try
36:22yeah I tried
36:23well what did he say
36:25nothing
36:26he didn't seem to care
36:28well maybe he doesn't remember his mother
36:31well we've virtually been his parents
36:33greg and jenny charlie and me
36:36yeah I suppose so
36:38but his mother will be expecting hugs and kisses
36:40no I don't think so
36:42I spoke to her on the eight o'clock call
36:44she's a vet and very businesslike
36:46she's bound to understand
37:27in some day
37:29there's some
37:53Hello, my love.
38:27Hello, John.
38:28It's me.
38:33Your mummy.
38:48Where's Janet?
38:50John's with Hubert and the horses.
38:57A real turn-up.
39:00Do you really think we ought to leave, Chaloner?
39:03Why?
39:04John.
39:05That can't be it, surely.
39:07He's only confused.
39:09No.
39:10He was behaving funny before.
39:13I think something's happened.
39:14What?
39:16I don't know.
39:17Maybe he thinks, you know, as kids do, that his mother deserted him or something.
39:24Well, let's sort out what we're going to do.
39:31Who wants to go back to Chaloner?
39:33Well, I think we ought to stick together.
39:35I'm not going to leave Paul again anyway.
39:42All right, then.
39:43That's settled.
39:44Spend the light at Linden with Seth.
39:46He can pass word back to Chaloner.
39:50Don't worry, Jenny.
39:51We'll leave word for Greg there.
39:54And Janet's place is the best place for this fellow.
40:12Where's John?
40:37Where's my pony?
40:53I know I didn't see him all that much.
40:56Well, he was away at school.
40:58Even when he was at home, he was off on the farms.
41:01Well, he knew all the farmers.
41:03And I was busy with the practice.
41:05But even so, it's as though he resents me.
41:09Jenny, where's John now?
41:10Do you know?
41:11Um, I think he's out exploring with Jack.
41:14And you had the foot and mouth here just before the death?
41:16Yes.
41:18Uh, I tried to take him round, but...
41:22He's sitting in the stable.
41:24He won't shift.
41:34Hello, John.
41:48They've taken your pony, have they?
41:52Tell you what, I've never really seen round the farms.
41:56Your mother was telling me about Sam Higgins' place.
41:58Um, friend of yours, remember?
42:00You used to milk his cars.
42:04Let's go and have a look, shall we?
42:11You know what's happened, don't you, John?
42:19It's the foot and mouth, remember?
42:23They probably wiped out all his cattle.
42:26Or they had to be killed.
42:28You know that, don't you, John?
42:29Cattle have to be killed when there's foot and mouth.
42:33Your mother probably had to help.
42:36But you can't blame her for that, can you?
42:42I want to go back.
42:46Yeah, I thought he blamed you for his pet cars being killed.
42:49He wouldn't have known he wasn't here.
42:54Well, shall I take Walter's meal up, or will you?
43:00Janet?
43:01That must be it.
43:03I wrote to his granny saying John mustn't come home
43:05because I didn't want him to see the shooting of the cattle and the burying.
43:09He was due home, you see, the day after the foot and mouth broke out.
43:12Obviously, he thought I didn't want him back.
43:15And his granny probably didn't tell him about the foot and mouth.
43:18She probably didn't.
43:19Well, his granny died.
43:21All he knew was that his mother had forbidden him to come home again.
43:24But Phillips told him about the foot and mouth.
43:26Oh, he doesn't understand.
43:28And he won't listen to me.
43:30He just stares.
43:33I'll talk to him.
43:55It's amazing, isn't it?
43:58It's just the same as it did when you were here.
44:06Remember the old saying, the camera never lies?
44:10Aye, well, it did.
44:12Quite often.
44:16You know, you can be certain of one thing, you get it fixed in your head.
44:22And then you're wrong.
44:27Do you remember Alistair McFadden?
44:31Oh, that man.
44:33Yes.
44:35He frightened you.
44:36Do you remember why?
44:36He would say he was dangerous, like a tiger.
44:40So what did you do?
44:41Run away.
44:43I bet you don't know what happened then.
44:44Yes, I do.
44:46I stayed out all night.
44:48In the tree house.
44:49Oh, no, no, no.
44:49I mean, what happened to Alistair?
44:51He left.
44:52Mm-hmm.
44:52Do you know why?
44:57Because we didn't trust him.
45:00See, we believed that he'd killed you.
45:05And that upset him.
45:07And so he left.
45:10Hubert went after him on his own, like a madman.
45:15Of course, we didn't tell you at the time, because you were too young.
45:18Telling you now, because you've grown up.
45:22He's changed, though, hasn't he, eh, Hubert?
45:25The guy looked after Jenny.
45:29Do you know, Jenny believes that Greg doesn't want to come back to her.
45:33No.
45:34Mm-hmm.
45:35Well, we'll have to convince her, won't we?
45:39People believe some funny things.
45:42Do you know your mummy believes that you don't love her?
45:45And that you think she didn't want you to come back from your grannies?
45:49I know why, of course.
45:52Because there's foot and mouth here.
45:53She didn't want to upset you by seeing your favourite cows destroyed.
45:57She wrote to your granny.
45:59She only had to wait for a couple of weeks, but then the death came, didn't it?
46:03She couldn't telephone or anything.
46:06By the time she got down there, it was too late.
46:08He'd already gone.
46:11It's funny how people believe these things.
46:35It's funny how people think they didn't know shegic.
47:10It was not incredible!
47:15I actually persuaded him.
47:18Oh, I don't know.
47:20My powers, eh?
47:22Look, I, uh...
47:24I don't suppose I could, um...
47:27No, no, no, no. You're too deeply entrenched.
47:31What?
47:33Well, I just thought, you know, if I can persuade John to see the facts, then maybe I...
47:38You know...
47:41What are you talking about?
47:43Well, you know how suspicious you are about Greg.
47:47You know, not wanting him and all that.
47:49Poor old Greg. Oh, shut up!
47:51No, no, no. I know how you feel. No, it's just that, um...
47:55When I do find Greg, which I shall do,
47:59how do I explain to him that his woman doesn't want him anymore?
48:03I mean, she's such a suspicious woman.
48:06This woman, Jenny.
48:09Poor old Greg.
48:11Now, look here, I think...
48:12Oh!
48:16Oh, dear, oh, dear.
48:19Oh, dear.
48:20Oh, dear.
48:21Oh, Jenny, Jenny.
48:29Don't worry, Jenny.
48:32We'll find him.
48:36There.
48:37Oh, dear.
48:39What is white, fluffy in the hand?
48:42Oh, dear Juliet.
49:00All right.
49:11It's is that you can pray to me,
