[gentle music]

Cranford's giving you a look.

There go and have a
look, go and have a look.

I don't know why.

I saved a cow of his last week.

Poor thing had colic.

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

It says eight o'clock on there.

Quite exciting.

-Hello!
-Hello.

[Usher] Enjoy the film.

Thank you.

[Newsreader] And then
a gasp of amazement

and satisfaction runs
around the world.

The Prime Minister
decides to fly

to a personal meeting with
the German Chancellor,

so after 69 years
of a busy life,

Mr Chamberlain makes his
first trip in a plane.

There's proof of
his determination.

The German Chancellor
regards the situation,

it seems to me, to be one

in which discussions
between him and me-

It'll get sorted.

[Chamberlain] May have
useful consequences.

Are your parents still
coming down to see you?

The day after tomorrow.

They can only stay
the one night.

-Hello.
-She's dead.

Dead?

Aye, she is. Dead.

Not her!

Me cow, you silly beggar!

I am sorry about that.

And I don't think

it was owt to do with
her stomach, neither.

Sorry.

I'm just relieved he wasn't
talking about his wife.

And...
And here's another thing,

you never sent me that salve
you promised me either.

[gentle music]

[Audrey] What do you think?

That it's beyond saving.

I thought I'd get
in for your parents.

They're still
stopping by tomorrow?

Is there any more mustard?

You've got legs.

They're welcome
to stay, you know.

It's no bother making
up another bed.

They've got the inn booked.

They didn't want to impose.

Has your mum got any idea
you're not coming back?

I didn't want to do
it over the phone.

With everything else
going on in the world,

maybe she'll mind less.

What's this?

Oh, just

looking to the future,

making decisions.

I'm still thinking about it.

You're a good vet.

There's only one exam.

I can help you
revise if you like.

-Aw.
-My gallant crew, good morning!

An enjoyable evening with Diana?

Mind your beeswax!

Oh, God, man, you smell
like a tart's handbag!

Parma Violet, if
I'm not mistaken.

I wondered where my
bath salts had gone!

Oh, he had a rough
time of it last night.

-[Audrey] Oh, aye.
-[phone ringing]

I was at the cinema
with Helen...

-[Audrey] I'll get it.
-And Cranford wouldn't stop

going on about
some bloody salve.

I'll do it.

It would have been nice to
have one night out with Helen

that didn't end in disaster.

When are you going to stop
this nonsense and get wed?

-[laughing]
-Why are you laughing?

You're not serious, are you?

But I've no money, no house.

-Where would we live?
-Here, of course.

With Tristan sleeping
in the cupboard?

I wouldn't mind
waking up to Helen...

Sorry, that's inappropriate!
But it's true.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old Time is still a-flying;

And this same flower
that smiles today,

tomorrow will be dying.

I'm not getting married!

-You're getting married?
-I'm not!

Caution, often a virtue,
but you carry it too far.

You need to take a
chance, lash out a little.

Carpe some diem!

Throw off these hesitant
ways and, remember,

there is a tide in
the affairs of men

which taken at the flood-

Yes, Siegfried, all
right, all right.

Stop it.

Who was on the phone?

Mrs Dalby.

She wants you to
look over her stirks.

[humming the "Wedding March"]

[cows mooing]

Why aren't you
off to school yet?

I just wanted to
see about the cows.

Billy Francis Dalby,

if you're not on your
bike this second...

Mum!

You must be proud of him.

Oh, I am that.

Now, I know you told me
not to put them out again,

but we worked through
the hay so fast,

I couldn't afford to
keep feeding them cake.

I can see they've been
suffering with diarrhea.

Yeah.

It seems to have happened
within a few days.

Maybe it's something
they've eaten.

You have any idea
what it might be?

There's a few possibilities.

The most troubling is
it could be salmonella.

Right.

Let's wait until we know
before we start worrying.

I'll take some samples,
get them analyzed,

and by tomorrow, we'll know
what we're dealing with.

I sometimes wonder

maybe we'd be better off
if I'd just listened to you

and sold up whilst we
still had the chance.

You kept the farm for Billy,
to give him hope, a future.

Oh, we spent all that
money on cake as well.

We need to wait for the results

and then we'll deal with it.

So let's stop all this
talk about moving on.

Your life is here.

This is where you belong.

Thanks, James.

Don't forget to stop by
the house for a brew.

Well, you see here, Mr
Thomas, what I'm saying is

they call themselves vets,

and they're all right with
cattle and that class of thing,

but they're no use with cats
and dogs, you mark my words.

What you need is
some of my shampoos.

Oh, that will see him
right as rain in a minute,

won't it, Rex?

Won't it, my sweetheart?

You're starting early.

Do I detect a note of
judgment in your tone, Maggie?

Far be it from me.

-[barking]
-Oh, wheesht, Rex.

You'll give yourself
a sore throat.

-[dramatic music]
-Rex!

Come here, Rex!

Rex!

Oh!

[Driver] He came out of nowhere!

[Tristan] It's all right.

I'll take care of him.

What are you doing?

-[Tristan] I know.
-[yelping]

He needs a vet, Mrs Donovan.

Rex.

My boy!

I've no doubt Mrs Donovan's
shampoos are marvelous

for cleaning a dog's fur,

but they'll do nothing
to mend a broken hip.

If you'd like to
wait, Mr Thomas,

then I'm sure Mr Farnon will
be with you in a minute.

-Thank you.
-Siegfried, hit by a car.

Hold on!
Hold on!

What are you going to do to him?

Mrs Donovan, perhaps you
should wait in the living room.

I am not leaving my dog!

[Siegfried] What
happened exactly?

Oh, he bolted and
then a car came.

-Chloroform.
-There's no need.

-Has he gone?
-No, he hasn't!

That's my dog!

[melancholic music]

Massive internal
hemorrhaging, I think.

I can feel damage
to the pelvic bone.

Nothing we could have done.

I'm so sorry, Mrs Donovan.

-Hi, James.
-Afternoon, Jenny.

-Hello.
-Hello.

What is it?

Oh, nothing.

There was just some
pollen in the air.

[gentle music]

That's it, Candy.
Good girl.

Jenny, you're not jinking
off school, are you?

I said she could.

She don't want to
miss the birth.

It's all Pythagoras and his
blooming triangles anyway.

How's that supposed to
help me milk the cows?

Speaking of which, you
might make yourself useful.

I'll leave you pair to it.

I was always trying to
skip school at her age.

Really?

I always had you down as a
bit of a goody-two-shoes.

I'll try not to take
offense at that.

Shall we have a look
at you, then, Candy,

to see how your foal's doing?

Many more calls today?

You're my last.

I've got to get a sample from
the Dalbys over to Harrogate.

It could be salmonella.

Oh, that's the last
thing Phyllis needs.

When will you get the results?

Should be a day.
It's a fair drive.

If you're able to get away,

it'd be nice to
have some company.

There's a few things I need
to finish on the farm first.

I'm happy to wait.

I thought we could have
dinner with my folks tomorrow.

Together?
All of us?

Well, I'd like to introduce
you to them since you are...

Well, we are...

You know.
And I met your dad.

-I even wore his shoes.
-Right.

I must check I've got
a clean frock, then.
For tomorrow.

Do you think he suffered at all?

I'm certain he didn't.

You can leave him
here if you'd prefer.

Oh, no.

My Rex will have
a proper burial.

There's a spot down by my boat
under a tree.

He used to like it.

Sounds perfect.

Shall I carry him over for you?

Aye, well...

I suppose that's
all right, then.

-Did you have him long?
-Eight years all in.

He must have seen a lot
of the world with you.

I'm sure he had
a wonderful life.

What would you know
about our life?

No, no, I'm not saying
I do, I just imagine.

Whenever I saw him out
and about with you,

he always looked happy.

You know where you
are with a dog.

They're loyal.

They don't judge you
for who or what you are.

[dog whining]

Sounds like Rex was
very important to you.

Maybe you should think
about getting another.

Getting another?

A dog's not a toy or a trinket
you replace once it's broke.

It's a living thing.

They choose you just as
much as you choose them.

I'm sorry I didn't
mean to be insensitive.

I just thought that--

That's the trouble with people,

they're too busy
thinking or not thinking.

Instead of just being.

What is it you're after?

Cos I'm telling you, if it's
money, you'll get none from me.

-I'm not after anything.
-Right.

Well, why are you
doing this, then?

Sure, you hardly know me.

I saw what happened to your
dog and I wanted to help him.

And I suppose, deep down,

it also means I wanted
to help you too.

[gentle music]

It's not just the animals.

Are you soft in the head?

What are you on about?

It doesn't matter.

Something somebody
said to me once.

More than once.

You're a funny man.

Did anyone ever tell you that?

More often than I
care to mention.

Well, you might take
it as a compliment.

There's room enough in
this world for folks

of all kinds of
different stripes.

Who's that fella?

You're all right, he's with me.

That's my boat.

You may lie him there.

My Rex is dead.

He felt nothing.

You wains can help
me lay him to rest.

Dad there's a pie
in the kitchen.

I should be back to get it
in the over but if I'm not--

I'm sure we'll manage love.

-Thank you.
-My pleasure.

Cheerio, Mr Alderson.

Aye.

How old were your parents
when they got married?

Dad said he were barely out

of short trousers
when he asked me mam.

I don't know my
parents got engaged.

Never thought to ask.

No.

You never struck me
as the romantic type.

I am romantic!

Oh, no, I didn't
mean it in a bad way.

I just meant you're not
one for grand gestures

or anything too extravagant.

I like that about you.

My mum thinks if I
stay in this job,

I'll never find a wife.

And Siegfried thinks I should
just get on and marry you!

-Oh! What did you say?
-I laughed.

He said I'd a habit
of being too cautious,

that I don't have the
courage of my convictions

and see dangers
where there are none.

That's how Siegfried
put it anyway.

Do you think your mum
wants you to get married?

I think she wants grandchildren.

You know, there's something
in what Siegfried said.

In what way?

Well, you do
sometimes overthink,

see catastrophe
round every corner.

It's not something I want to do.

Then don't.

Don't?

Overthink.

-Worry less.
-I wish I could.

-Well, you can.
-I can?

Why not?

Just decide to be positive
and take the plunge?

What's the worst
that could happen?

-You'd say no!
-To what?

Asking you to marry me.

[gentle music]

Stop the car.

Helen, I'm fine with
you not being ready.

I just...

I just need a moment.

-But I'm not afraid to say it.
-Say what?

I want to spend the rest
of my life with you.

Here in the Dales.

I'm not afraid either.

You're not?

No.

James, why do you
smell like that?

I ran out of bath salts
so I used Mrs Hall's.

I may have overdone it somewhat.

What? Is it the smell?

Don't worry, it'll be
gone in a couple of days.

It's not the smell.

The ring?
I haven't got a ring!

You see, this is the
problem with not planning!

It's Dad.

I take it you
haven't spoke to him?

Look Dad in the eye.

And don't gabble.

Sometimes when you're
nervous, you gabble.

What do you mean, I gabble?
I don't gabble.

When have I ever...
I hardly ever...

Unless I'm really nervous maybe.

Right.

Something's wrong.

I would have sent for Mr Farnon.

There's summat up
with our Candy.

Come quick, will you?

[groaning]

[dramatic music]

The uterus is twisted.

And that's bad, is it?

Give me your hand.

Now, when it's open like this,

you can put your hand
straight through.

But if I twist it...

Nothing can get through.

That's what's
happening inside Candy.

And we need to unwind it.

-If you can't?
-We'll lose them both, love.

Jenny, go up to the phone
box and call Skeldale House.

We're going to need some help.

[phone ringing]

[gentle music]

Darrowby 2-2-9-7.

[Jenny] It's Jenny.

Oh, Jenny, hello, how are you?

Mr Farnon?

He's just coming, love.

Jenny Alderson.

Jenny?

I'll be out there straight away.

I'll get your jacket.

Is something going on?

Problem with the Aldersons'
horse. James needs my help.

Hold that.

Thank you.

[Chamberlain] This morning,

I had another talk

with the German
Chancellor, Herr Hitler.

Here is the paper--

Hello, you.

[Chamberlain] Which
bears his name upon it

-as well as mine.
-Good book?

-[cheering]
-Mm.

[Chamberlain] Some
of you perhaps

have already heard
what it contains

but I would just like
to read it to you.

The British Prime
Minister have had

-a further meeting today--
-Siegfried wait!

[Chamberlain] And are
agreed in recognizing

that the question of
Anglo-German relations

is of the first importance
for the two countries

and for Europe.

We regard the agreement
signed last night

and at the Anglo-German
Naval Agreement

as symbolic of the
desire of our two peoples

never to go to war
with one another again.

[cheering]

Good evening,
Richard, Helen, Jenny.

What's the presentation?

Uterus is still twisted.

It's too late to
carry out a caesarean.

Don't worry, the cavalry's here.

So you're going to try to
turn her over to unwind it?

That's the plan.

I'll take hold of the hooves.

Siegfried, Mr Alderson, when
I say, roll the horse over.

Hopefully it'll untwist
the uterus around the foal.

Tris, give them a
hand if they need it.

-Jenny, love--
-I'm staying.

-Ready?
-Come on, then.

It's all right.

Candy was their mother's horse.

It'll put everything right.

[horse groaning]

I've got hold of the feet.

All right.

Now, roll her.

Stop, stop, hold on.

I'm losing grip of
the foal's hooves.

All right.

I've got them.

Ready?
Go.

Is it working?

Yeah, I can feel it loosening.

It's coming towards me.

The foal's coming.

It's coming.

It's coming!
It's coming.

He's done it!
It's out!

[barking]

Evening.

Thought we'd drop by and
see if you fancied a stroll?

Let me grab my coat.
Come here.

Go on.
Go on, go on.

One more, one more.

Come on, little one.

Go on, little one.

-Yay!
-There we are.

[gentle music]

Our work here is done.

I'll call her Joan.
After mum.

Aye, that'll do.

We'll leave 'em be.

Mother knows what's
best for 'em.

Jenny...

-Jenny.
-But...

Must be going bloomin' soft.

She's...

She's a good girl, is Candy.

Mr Alderson

I'd like to marry your daughter.

Right.

You better come up
to t'house, lad.

[Audrey] Oh it's
good to get out.

And away from that
talk on the radio.

Our illustrious
leaders' trip to Munich?

They all want their
heads banging together.

They should send you over there.

Give me one afternoon
with that man

and his ridiculous mustache,
I'd have it all sorted.

Be a damn sight easier than the
job I've got I can tell you.

[chuckling]

You mustn't repeat that.

My lips are sealed.

I can't help thinking of my boy.

Be just like him to follow
in his father's footsteps

and get himself in trouble.

Your husband fought in the war?

He were a good man.

Kind, affectionate.

But that were before.

He came home without a
scratch on him, not a mark.

Not one that you
could see at any rate.

I saw it happen to
friends of mine.

I got hit and sent home before
it had a chance to ruin me.

I were lucky.

Can't bear the thought
of my Edward...

[Mr Thomas] Hey there's a chance

the whole thing'll
be called off.

There's still hope.

It's been good
weather for t'hay.

Aye, it is.

That's true.

Drop of rain won't
do any ill, mind.

Oh, definitely.

Definitely, just to...

Moisten it.

-No, I'm fine.
-Actually...

Thank you.

I had a wife in a thousand.

I've heard a lot about her.

She certainly sounds it.

Nobody thought she'd settle
for a fella like me you know?

But she did.

One in a thousand, she were.

Bit bloody stubborn, though,

she set her mind to it.

I...

All right, why not?

You know, I can't...

I can't picture her face
the way that I used to.

Time passes.

But I see it in them girls of
mine, I see it in our Jenny.

She has that look when
she gets cross, and

our Helen has her smile.

I see it sometimes when I
catch her looking at you.

Aye.

Mr Alderson, I love Helen.

I'll take care of her.

I doubt that.

She'll be t'one taking
care of you, lad.

With your permission.

What for?

You've already asked
her, haven't you?

I did.

I have.
How did you know?

I told you.

That smile, her mother's smile.

Listen.

There's no point asking
me for my permission, lad.

That lass does exactly
as she chooses.

Like her mother.

Stubborn.

[gentle music]

That were Helen's mother's.

My Joan.

Might you use it?

I'd be honored.

Thank you.

Aye.

Good lad.

[dog whining]

-Morning.
-Morning.

Dad, get in here
before it goes cold!

[Mr Alderson] Coming!

You made breakfast?

Well go on then,
don't just gawp at it.

[Helen] But I've
gotta get the eggs in.

Already done.

Cows milked too, chickens fed.

There's nothing
left for you to do.

Smells good.

Boots off.

I'll not have you making
this into a pig sty.

I've fed Scruff.

I'll check Joan over and put
in some fresh straw for Candy.

Then I'm off to school.

I should do the horses.

I told you, there's
nothing left for you to do.

[gentle music]

Come here.

Thank you.

Leftover stool samples.

Unlike James not to
have cleaned them out.

-Lovely.
-Where is he, by the way?

-Shouldn't he be up by now?
-[Audrey] Yes Mr Cranford--

Didn't get back from the
Aldersons until late last night.

I know you want the
salve, Mr Cranford.

But we are not a
delivery service.

If you'd like to come by-

[Mr Cranford] Get that
bloody salve sent over!

Rude man!

That Cranford?

Need you ask?

I'll drop the salve
round for him later.

Oh, there you are James.
What time do you call this?

Sorry, Siegfried.

Late night, I got
waylaid at the Aldersons.

Ha-ha, really?

Talking to Richard.

Oh, Richard now, is it?

Asking his permission
to marry Helen!

Oh, my goodness!

Congratulations!

Let me give you a kiss.

Well, hang on, she
hasn't said yes yet.

She has!
James, well done!

I got the order of things
a little muddled up.

I've got you to thank
for that, Siegfried.

Yes, well, you took
your time about it.

Mr Farnon.

What?

Oh, all right well done.

-Yes, very good, very moving.
-Drinks later to celebrate?

Let's see how dinner with
my parents goes first.

Are you bringing Helen?

Oh, they're going
to be so pleased.

Another busy day?

A list far too long and varied

to encapsulate in
a few brief words.

He said he had to
come to it himself.

Oh, rubbish.

What happened to doing
as you're damn well told?

Go on.

You better be off to
meet your parents.

Hold on.

I had a phone call from
a lab in Harrogate.

They said they
didn't find anything.

Why are you smiling?
Is that a good thing?

Aye it is.

[dog whining]

There you are.

Come on, then.

What's this?

Come on.

Good boy.

Good boy!

Come on then, you.

Come on.

That's it.

Good boy!

[gentle music]

There's my boy!

Give your ma a kiss.

Let me take that for you, Dad.

Thank you, son.

We'll drop your
things at the inn,

-and then we'll go for a drive.
-Where to?

You'll see.

On a beautiful day like this,
you can see for 20 miles.

But when the weather comes
in, it's a brutal place.

Snow ten foot deep, fog so thick

you can barely see your
hand in front of your face.

I don't like the thought of you

going out in weather like that.

Thank goodness you won't
have to do this much longer.

It's not so bad.

Slipping off in
the dead of night?

Not coming home until morning?

You'll never find a wife
carrying on like that, you know.

It's unnatural.

And those grandkiddies don't
make themselves, you know.

[James] Good to see you, Dad.

Pick the leaves like these,

and don't be pulling
up the meadowsweet,

cos it needs leaf to bloom.

Right.
Look miserable.

Hello, Mrs Donovan.

What's up with this one, then?

He's a stray.

[Mrs Donovan] Where
are you taking him?

Well, with no home to go to,

there's really only one option.

We'll have to put him down.

Got no-one to take care of him.

No-one's going to want
a dog in this state.

Give him to me I'll have him.

Really, he should be checked
over by a qualified vet.

Oh, I'll take care of
him, never you worry.

He might benefit from
those shampoos of yours.

Maybe he's not as
daft as he looks.

Come on, down you get.
That's it.

Why on earth have
you brought us here?

I've got a few jobs to get
through this afternoon.

I'm sorry.
It won't take long.

-All right there, Jim?
-Afternoon, Phyllis.

These are my parents,
Hannah and James.

Hello.

-Afternoon.
-Hello.

What we saying then, Jim?
Don't keep us waiting.

Thankfully, it's not salmonella.

In fact, the laboratory
couldn't find

anything wrong with them.

Oh.

There must be a mistake,

because I can see
how bad they are,

and they're getting
worse by the day.

There's something
I want to show you.

Come on.

Why don't we take a look?

Come on!

Oh...

Oh!

[James] See this light
coloration around the eyes?

[Billy] It's like
they've got spectacles.

Aye, that's right,
Billy, well spotted.

I noticed it last time I was
here, but I wanted to rule out

everything else to
confirm the diagnosis.

So, what is it?

They're suffering from
copper deficiency.

You can tell by the loss
of pigment in the coat,

particularly around the eyes.

I take it by the smug
look on your face

you know how to fix it.

Certainly, I do.

A simple solution given orally.

It'll have to be
repeated, to make sure

they don't get deficient again.

Other than that, they'll
have a long and happy life.

And it is very expensive?

[James] Cheap as chips.

Yes!

[James] We mix it, and you
administer it yourself.

I'll have some ready for
you to pick up tomorrow.

Good God, Jim,
don't do that to me.

I thought for a minute
there we were beaten.

I don't think you'd
ever be that, Phyllis.

Well, better get back.
Get tea ready for the brood.

-Yeah.
-Thanks, James.

-Cheerio.
-Nice to meet you.

See?

Told you everything
would be all right.

[Billy] Yes, we made it.

It's beautiful up
here, isn't it?

Aye, it is.

I'll drop you at the
inn to freshen up.

Where are you
gallivanting off to now?

I'm bringing someone to
dinner I'd like you to meet.

[gentle music]

[cheering]

[Chamberlain] I want to say

that the settlement of the
Czechoslovakian problem,

which has now been achieved,

is in my view only the prelude

to a larger settlement

in which all Europe
may find peace.

[cheering]

Careful, you'll get messed up.

James' parents'll have us down

as a right bunch
of scruff-backs.

Yeah, well, they need taking in.

Otherwise they'll be
roosting all over the place.

Give 'em here.

-Give 'em here!
-Ready to go?

I'll just go and see if Dad
needs hand with anything first.

Don't worry.

They're going to love you.

Is that...

Do you have something on
the back of your dress.

[gentle music]

Who said I couldn't
do romantic gestures?

Get up, you daft beggar.

Is that...

Is that me mum's?

It is.

James will be back soon.

Drink, anyone?

-Whisky perhaps?
-God, yes!

We won't actually.
We're not big drinkers.

No, neither are we.
Special occasions.

It's a fine place you
have here, Mr Farnon.

James can't speak
highly enough about it.

Ah.

You must be sorry
to be losing him.

What?

[dramatic music]

What are you talking about?

Oh, no, me and my big mouth.

Did you not know?

Hello!

Sorry that took a while.

No trouble at all, son.

Mr Farnon's been
keeping us entertained.

We were just talking about

how sorry he'll be
to see you gone.

Yes, something of a shock.

No doubt we'll find a
replacement easily enough.

Siegfried.

Who's this?

Aren't you going
to introduce us?

Right.
Mum, Dad, this is Helen

my fiancée.

Hello.
How do you do?

It's lovely to meet you both.

Tristan, would you like to come

and set the table for dinner?

Why don't I give you a hand?

[Dad] So, you're
from farming stock?

Aye we've got a place.

It's been in the family
over hundred years

one way or another.

Be hard for you
to leave won't it?

Your dear mother can't be happy.

Oh she died.

A few years ago now.

Oh I'm sorry to hear that.

Aye, love.

Helen helped raise
her little sister

and looked after the farm.

You're a lucky girl you know.
You won't find better.

I'm not sure he will either.

Once you're married,

we'll see if we can't squeeze
a bigger bed into James' room.

Oh, should be able
to manage that.

It'll be a busy house,

but I'm sure we'll all
rub along just fine.

Mum, I want you to know this
hasn't been easy, but...

What?

What hasn't been easy?

I should've told you sooner,

but the truth is I didn't
fully know for a long time.

I'm staying here,

and it's not only
because of Helen.

-What about the job?
-I was tempted, I won't lie.

But thinking about it's
made me realize all the more

how much I love it here.

Every day is different.

I wake up and I have no idea
where the job will take me.

I could be up in the High
Dales wrestling cattle

or helping a dog that's had
its paw caught in a trap.

It's this place, those hills...

James is too modest to
ever say this himself,

but he's made such a difference

to so, so many people
since he arrived.

It's especially true
for me and my family,

and so many others.

That farm you visited
today, the Dalbys,

that's the second time he's
saved their herd this year.

What he does here
really matters.

But what about Bill's place?

You can work normal hours,
it's so modern and new.

That's not what
makes a practice.

It's the people.

I love this place.

It's my home now.

You should be so proud of him.

I certainly am.

And I love him
with all my heart.

So long as you're both happy.

That's all we've
ever wanted for you.

Aye, it's true.

[Dad] Thanks Mrs Hall again
for that grand meal yesterday.

I wish we could convince
you to stay another night.

No, we need to get back and
see about gaining some work.

I'll be back up to visit
you as soon as I can.

Christmas maybe.

Visit?

You don't visit your home.

It's your real home,
and it always will be.

I know, Mum.
I didn't mean that.

-You're my boy.
-Bye, son.

You've made a nice little
life for yourself down here.

Thanks, Dad.

Look after him for us.

I will.

-Bye.
-Bye, love.

Right, let's get
you in that bus.

[gentle music]

[crying]

I love you.

I love you, too.

Oi!
Herriot!

Hey, I want a word with you!

It's about that...

That damn...

salve you sent me!

[Male] To peace!

To Mr Chamberlain!

[Crowd] Mr Chamberlain!

Good man.

Isn't it something?

You don't realize
how much something

weighs on you till it's gone.

I know exactly what you mean.

Now, look here, I think
it grossly unfair of you

to characterize my
support as something

akin to the trials of Atlas.

I only push you because
I know you could achieve

so much more than you do,
and if I didn't push you,

then you damn well wouldn't
do anything useful-

Here he is!

What do you think
of this one, then?

Haven't I made the difference?

And all it took was
some of my shampoos.

I named him Roy.

And to think you were
gonna do away with him.

You were right, Mrs Donovan.

Your shampoos really seem
to have done the trick.

Come here, you.

You needn't think I don't
know what you were up to.

Come on, Roy.

Come on, son.

How is everything?

Can I get you anything else?

Any more drinks?

There was a stray
moping about the place.

I wanted to see if I
could do something for him

and help Mrs Donovan
at the same time.

That sounds very kind of you.

Sorry, Siegfried, you
were saying something

about me never doing
anything useful.

I take it back.

Now you're going to have
to give me some money.

I just bought you a drink.

Don't tell me you've
guzzled it already.

So I can go back to college.

I've decided to
re-sit parasitology.

I think veterinary practice
might be my calling after all.

Tristan, is it
possible that you got

Cranford's salve mixed
up with a stool sample?

Just bumped into him
outside the Falcon Inn.

Said he started to rub
it in before he realized.

No-one gets to be rude to Mrs H.

Quite right, well played.

Good boy.

Siegfried, I know I
should've told you

about the job sooner,
but I meant what I said.

I've learnt so much from you.

Yes, well, I couldn't help
noticing that both of you took

rather a long time
fully to appreciate-

Oh, be quiet.

Here, you pair

to your engagement

and a very happy
future together.

Hear here.

Thank you.

[All] Cheers!

So, Helen, do you
think you'll be able

to go through with it this time?

Tris!

What, I'm only saying
what we're all thinking.

Ow!

[gentle music]
