All language subtitles for The Royal s03e03 Doing The Rounds

I need someone in my life. I need a girl
to hold me tight.

Someone to make me feel, make me feel
alright.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Somebody help me now.

Don't somebody tell me what I've done
wrong.

Because her hair glows like the sun And
her

eyes can light the skies When she walks,

she moves so fine Like a flamingo
Crimson dress

that clings so tight Reached and out of
sight

When she walks by

Look at the state of that.

Sorry, but did you see the legs on that?

Are you OK? No, I'm not. Have you seen
what this idiot's done to my car?

Well, if you'd signalled.

Don't give me that. This is your fault.
I've got a witness.

Shut up, you clown. There's no need for
this. You don't tell me to shut up.

Gentlemen,

break it. Break it up, boy.

Gordon. Who's Dr Geoffrey Goodwin?

Ah, yes.

Look, I'm sorry.

I tried to call you last night after I
saw him.

Why would you bother to do that when
you've already offered him the job?

Well, to try and explain.

Gordon, you're the senior partner. You
can appoint who you like.

Look, it's not like that, Jill.

That's what's happened.

Again? Look, the harsh reality is we've
been rushed off our feet since David's

death. We had to get someone.

Dr Goodwin has GP and anaesthetic
experience, and he can start straight

Right, so why bother asking for my
opinion, eh?

You know, I honestly thought that I
meant more to you as a colleague and as

friend, but obviously not.

Oh, come on, Jill, please.

I've got patients to see.

Why have you got a dolly, Dr Omrod?

It's my daughter's.

She says it's ill. I want her to go to
the hospital.

Can you put it somewhere, please?

I'll ask Mr Bridget if she's got a bed
for you.

It's a doll, Lizzie.

Just put it in the drawer.

You all right, mate?

Yeah, well, I wasn't until I walked into
a fifth.

Well, at least you did it in the right
place.

Come on, let's get you into casualty.

I'll be all right in a minute. There's
no point in taking any chances.

Look, see, you're right outside the
Royal.

You wanted to see me, Major? Yes.

Sit down.

Dr Cheriton's mother is visiting the
hospital today.

I offered to send his belongings back to
her, but she wanted to collect them

herself.

I'd like you to help her.

I'm on duty.

Mr Rose doesn't have a list, only
outpatients, and we'll cover casualty

I'd still rather not.

I understand that.

But I think you're the right person for
the job.

Thank you, Daphne.

Yeah, well, I'm going to be late for
work.

You'll probably get a day off.

You're in a bit of a mess.

Really, is it that bad?

Do you have a mirror?

The staff nurse will be down to see you
in a minute.

She'll clean up your cuts and might lend
you to x -ray to see if anything's

broken.

Well,

you're lucky your mirror isn't.

If you could just get me something
antiseptic, I can do this myself.

It's not self -service.

You're the suspected concussion case,
are you?

Yes. But I'd like to think of myself
more as your new doctor.

Geoff Goodwin.

Pleased to meet you, Major.

Good morning, Mr Peacock.

Pocock. Hmm?

Oh, quite so.

Pocock, how do we feel today?

You were rummaging in my guts half of
yesterday.

How do you think I feel?

Grateful, I should hope.

You've probably done for me.

Poppycock. Mr. Pocock.

Hey -o. Sister Bridget said you needed
something collecting from your house.

right, keep your voice down.

I'll make this own brew.

Not for me, for the church.

Parish supper.

The bottles are all at my house.

Five crates.

They need running to Bishop Macy Church
Hall.

So how do I get into the house? The
neighbours have got a key.

Right.

Well, today's a bit awkward, I can't...
You can keep a crate for yourself.

Ah, well, that's all I can do.

You never guess who I just met in
casualty. Our new doctor.

How did you know that?

I saw him first.

The handoff.

Several members of staff have approached
me about the possibility of a permanent

memorial to David.

It sounds like you want to put up a
statue to him.

But I was thinking that we might name a
ward after him.

It doesn't sound very David.

No, perhaps not.

I plan to endow a scholarship to his old
college.

Perhaps any money you raise could go
there.

Well, certainly.

Come in.

This is Staff Nurse Taylor.

Mrs. Cheriton.

How is the friend of David's? I don't
know if he's dead.

I don't remember him mentioning any
nurses.

Meryl will take you over to David's flat
in the nurse's home.

Shall we go?

I'd like to get this over with as
quickly as possible.

How did this happen, Dr Goodwin?

Please call me Jeff. We're going to be
working together.

Sorry, yeah.

Oh, basically, I got into a fight.

Really? On your way to work?

I like to make an early start.

Well, you've had a wasted journey, I'm
afraid. You might have a concussion,

which means that you're not in any fit
state to do any work today. No, no, no.

I'll be fine.

I don't need to remind you how
unpredictable head injuries can be.

I have no headache, no vomiting, no
numbness, no neck pain, no lack of

I wasn't actually unconscious.

And my coordination's, well, no worse
than usual. So if you won't discharge

I will.

I would strongly advise against that.

You know what lousy patients' doctors
make. I'll be fine.

I'm wasting my time, aren't I?

So, is she like that with everyone?

Or is this something I say?

She's never so hoity -toity.

No, I've been. No boyfriend.

No fun.

Unlike you.

You'll have to find out.

Jess!

Welcome to the Royal. Thank you.

I hadn't planned on arriving on a
trolley. No, no, no, no. I heard about

adventure this morning. Is that going to
be a problem? No, I'm raving to go.

Excellent. Well, we've got a huge
backlog of routine house calls, so I

we'd start by letting you work through
them. Give you a chance to get to know

Elthamby. Right.

Well, I might need to borrow a map.

Ah, yes. Well, that's where Ken comes
in.

He's volunteered to show you around. He
knows the town as well as anyone. In

fact, he seems to be related to half the
people who live here.

Any questions?

No.

Can't wait to get started.

Good man.

He met Dr Goodwin in a pub for half an
hour last night and he offered him a

Jill, this is not my department.

You'll have to take it up with Gordon.

Yes, I'm aware of that. I just thought
that if you could speak to Gordon, there

might be some chance that he'd take some
notice.

Has Dr Goodwin signed a contract yet?

No, we haven't even discussed it.

But she'll have to take up his
references.

So it's not too late to reverse the
decision?

Technically, no.

Good, thank you. That's all I need to
know.

Look, look, hang on, hang on, hang on.

I realise Gordon could have handled the
appointment better, but he's been under

a great deal of pressure.

Yes, I know.

I do realise that, probably better than
anyone, but I think it has affected his

judgement.

The only reason for appointing Dr
Goodwin is because he was able to start

immediately, and that makes life easier
for Gordon.

That's being really rather harsh.

Yes, I know. I'm sorry.

And you're right. This is something I
need to sort out for myself.

I left the car here.

Er, you did lock it, didn't you?

No. And the keys were in the ignition. I
can't believe it.

My suitcase, my doctor's bag were in it,
everything.

Hang on, it was Alan that brought you
in?

Well, it's probably in the car park,
then.

You enjoying your new job, Doctor?

It really is quite a struggle for you to
breathe, isn't it?

It's almost enough to make me want to
give up the cigarettes.

Yes, well... Look, I think you'd be a
lot better off if we got you into

hospital.

Why don't I just make arrangements with
your housekeeper?

All right?

How is he?

It's, um... It's definitely pneumonia.

Oh. I haven't told him.

He's so weak.

Yes, I can see.

Look, I think we ought to get Father
Carroll to hospital straight away.

May I use your phone? Yes, yes.

I saw your car, but I thought you'd have
locked it.

Yeah, well, that might have been a good
idea.

I suppose I'd better call the police.

Well, um, there is somewhere we could
try first.

My brother -in -law, Martin.

More like your brother breaking the law.

Hey, that's all in the past now. But if
a car's been stolen within 20 miles of

Elzenby, He'll hear about it. Now, you
could go to the police, and that would

take all day. One phone call from Martin
could sort you out.

Yeah, well, I don't care what he says.
My doctor's back's been stolen. I have

report it to the police.

Things are a bit different round here.

Ken has his own way of doing things, but
they usually work.

Oh, yeah?

What happens when they don't?

We all keep our heads down.

You can use the phone in reception.

Can I ask you something?

Why couldn't anyone from the hospital go
to the funeral?

I wanted it to be the job of the family.

There are lots of people that work here.

They take this patient too.

They would have liked a chance to say
goodbye.

Well, I hate big funerals.

We had one when my husband died and I
said never again.

It's a bit grim, isn't it?

My brother works at the Westminster.

David could have had a job there.

I don't know what got into him.

He liked it here.

I suspect the novelty would have worn
off.

David got bored very quickly, even when
he was a child.

After all, what was there to keep him
here?

Are you comfortable there, Father?

I've done a good job.

I should think so, too, an important
guest like yourself.

That's enough, you're all blarney.

And I think you should know I'm here to
keep an eye on you.

I hear you've been working a lot of
overtime and missing math.

We've been very busy here.

I always began to think you had a
boyfriend.

No, Father.

You see what you've done now?

Better?

About as good as I'm going to be. again.

It's about Dr. Goodwin.

Yeah. Well, if she could phone me as
soon as possible, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you. Bye -bye.

Lizzie, if Dr. Hayden calls from
Newcastle General, will you put her

through? Yes, Doctor.

How are your rounds going?

Yeah, well, a bit of a problem with my
car, unfortunately. I haven't actually

started them yet.

Really?

Don't let me stop you.

Lizzie, Dr Goodwin needs a doctor's bag.
Is it all right if he takes the one

from Dr Cheriton's room?

I don't see why not.

I'll show him where. OK.

This'll be your room, so you'd better
make yourself at home.

There's Dr Cheriton's bag.

Oh, right, thanks.

We'll clear out his bits and pieces.

Dr. Amaral told you, did he?

Yeah. He's obviously going to be a tough
act to follow.

Yeah.

Well, I'd better get going.

How are you going to do your rounds if
you don't have a car?

Oh, your dad said he'd give me a lift.

Oh, yeah.

Why, is there something I should know?

My dad, he... Well, sometimes he has
reasons of his own for doing things.

He's got his fingers in more... that
he's got fingers.

Do you want to keep this picture?

Oh, I hadn't seen this one.

Isn't she lovely?

Yes. Who is she?

Madeline.

David's fiancée.

I didn't know he was engaged.

Oh, well, they had a silly round just
before he came up here.

I'm sure it would have all blown over.

She's very pretty.

Yes, I always hoped.

Well, for a lot of things, really.

This isn't very good.

I'm going to need another suitcase.

I'll see if I can find some boxes.

Yes.

Yes, boxes would be a good idea.

It's just a routine check -up to see how
you're getting on.

You weren't feeling too well and had a
bit of a rash.

That's right, Doctor.

But I'm not getting any younger, am I?

And how have you been since you last saw
the Doctor?

Better?

Worse? About the same?

Not so good.

Shall I answer that for you? Oh, thanks,
Doctor.

Hello?

Dr Goodwin?

It's Lizzie from the hospital.

There's an emergency at Birmingham Hall.
They need you there straight away.

And your father knows where that is?

OK, Lizzie. We're on our way.

I'm sorry, Mr Alton. There's an
emergency I've got to go to.

I'll try and come back later in the
week.

There's no rush.

I'm not going anywhere.

Like I said, it's probably just my age.

Everything else all right, is it?

Digestion, waterworks?

I think so.

Well, you don't sound completely sure.

Any trouble passing water?

I don't seem to pass so much now.

Right. Well, we should take a look at
whether anything needs doing about that

next time I see you.

It was good to meet you.

Looks like a nice place.

Ah.

Dr Goodwin, do you mind if I nip off for
ten minutes? I only have an errand to

run. Of course not, Ken. I'll see you
back here.

Oh, thank goodness you're here.

My husband went out to do something
rather than lie looks.

And he just went.

You mean collapsed?

I thought he tripped over a root.

But then when he didn't get up, I
started to worry. And that was half an

ago. Has Lord Furminger ever had any
heart trouble?

Oh, yes.

For years.

Terrible angina.

He sees the Lord Lieutenant's physician.

You know Tom Warrington?

No, I've not had the pleasure.

He's awfully good.

I would have called him. He's always in
Scotland at this time of year for the

salmon. Or is it Hampshire for the
trout?

I'm sorry, I really ought to see your
husband as quickly as possible. Oh, yes,

of course.

So where is he?

There.

Where? On the island.

Oh, of course.

Silly question, but do you have a boat?

Well, how else would Gerald have got a
cross?

He couldn't swim out, could he?

No.

Looks like I might have to.

You could always punt.

Oxford, you stand at the front and
Cambridge at the back.

Or is it the other way round?

I've no idea.

Haven't you got a paddle?

No, you push it with the pole.

Right. Well, while I do that, it might
be helpful if you called an ambulance.

Maybe I'll walk from here.

Hello?

I'm looking for someone to let me into
Mr. Pocock's house next door.

I'm from the Royal.

He asked me to come and collect
something for him.

Suit yourself.

Lord Firminger, I'm Dr. Goodwin.

It's your heart problem again, is it?

Damn, they caught me on the heart.

Well, let's have a listen.

Well, it could be water on the lungs.

Sorry. Just a joke.

Let's have a listen.

Okay.

I need to get you into hospital.

Okay?

Is there something you need?

I'd like her to be here with me.

She won't come to the hospital unless I
ask.

I'll call her straight away.

You can tell her there's no rush.

I don't want her to worry.

That's great.

One, two, three.

You got it? Yeah.

Is he going to be all right?

I hope so.

Now, if you could go with him in the
ambulance and tell the doctor in

about your husband's heart problems.

Aren't you coming?

No, there's another patient I have to
visit.

If the bloke who's driving me ever comes
back.

It's awful, isn't it? One simply can't
find a reliable chauffeur these days.

No, one simply can't.

I brought you a change of clothes.

Thank you.

I'm terribly impressed, you know.

Old Tom Warrington would never have
jumped to the lake, and we pay him a

in fees.

Well, it's all part of the service.

Your carriage awaits.

You didn't have the whole hospital.

Are you sure she really needs all these
boxes?

No, but I need to get away from there.

Why? What's wrong?

I can't believe David's mother's a woman
like her.

Holland, get a doctor.

Have you ever fainted like this before,
Mrs Cheriton?

No, I don't make a habit of it.

It's a bit of a mystery.

Look, I think it might be best if we
admit you for observation.

Come on.

Alan will help you through to the ward.

Oh, it's all right. I can walk.

Let's not take any chances. Hello.

I'm Samantha Beaumont.

David was a very special friend to all
of us.

Oh, how kind.

Is she going to be all right?

Should be.

I can't see anything wrong with her at
all.

I've been with him nearly 35 years.

Made his breakfast and his dinner every
day.

I hope he'll have a few more years, yes.

I hope so, too.

He's been putting his papers and things
in order.

He's sat at another bedside.

I don't think he's... No, he doesn't.

Don't always hope.

What's going on? I've been waiting half
an hour. Well, I've got patients to see.

I want to go back to Fred Alton.

Why so, Doc? It's just a hunch.
Something wasn't right there.

It's probably nothing, but I don't want
to take any chances.

I was hoping that you could give me a
hand with something.

I've only seen two patients so far
today, Ken.

We get this little job all done, we'll
whip around the rest of them in no time,

innit? Is there anything I can ever do
for you?

Yeah, you'll hear from me.

I'm going to regret this, aren't I?

He's going, Doctor. You're nearly there.

Morning, Ken.

How do you go?

Cleaning windows, are we?

No, no, no. There's a patient at the
hospital who lives here. He's worried

his gutters. I thought I'd have a deco.

Have you got Dr Goodwin with you?

Dr Goodwin?

Lizzie told me that you were driving him
round this morning.

Oh, yeah, I am.

Then where is he, then?

Have you tried Firminger Hall? I dropped
him off there earlier on.

I'll try him there, then.

That's what you're looking for? Aye.
Well, there's plenty more inside.

Right, we'll kick the lock.

Yes,

I'll open the van for you.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have left you alone in
David's flat.

I don't see what difference that would
have made.

I could have helped you more quickly.

How are you feeling now?

A little better.

But that doctor, he obviously thinks
it's all in my head.

But I'm being hysterical.

He wouldn't have kept you in if he
thought that.

Would you like me to finish packing
things up at the flat?

Get rid of the whole lot.

I don't want to see any of it again.

The photos and everything.

I've lost my husband.

I've lost my only child.

I don't need any of their belongings to
remind me.

You wouldn't understand.

Yeah, I do.

Any change?

No, no.

OK. Well, I won't disturb him, though.

They're like an old married couple.

There's always been gossip like that in
the town.

That's because people have evil minds
and tongues to match.

Well, that was just an observation,
sister, not a criticism.

Father Carl's a good man.

I know.

As far as I'm concerned, loving Martha
Hook doesn't make him a bad one.

That depends on whether loving Martha
Hook means what the town gossips think

does. That's well, I'm sorry. It was
just a... It was just a casual remark.

I'll, uh... I'll look in on him later.

Take another one.

They're going off like flaming owiches.

I'll tell you something else as well.

That's not beer.

That's ginger beer.

Oh, that's disgusting.

As a doctor, I would say we have a duty
to the people of Bishop Macy not to

deliver this stuff.

They've got much in it for you, isn't
there?

Hey, but cheer up. There's one crate
that's not broken.

Get a few tanners back from the bowl.

Martha?

Father O 'Connell's with him, giving the
sacrament.

Can't she be there too?

Oh, no.

It wouldn't be right.

I'll... Wait here now.

He doesn't need me.

Have you lost weight recently?

I couldn't say.

Those trousers look a bit loose.

What did you buy them to go into?

Nothing used to fit.

Tender there, is it?

Yes, it is.

I'm going to have to do another
examination.

Now... It won't be much fun for me and
even less for you, but it will be easier

to do with you lying down.

So, if you could get onto your bed for
me.

I'm sorry.

I'll miss him.

He was good company.

He was?

I'll break the news to Mother Hook.

No, I'll do that.

What will happen to Anna?

I suppose she'll have to move.

They'll need the help for the new
priest.

That's very tough on her.

She was with me for such a long time.

That sort of selfless devotion should...
I don't know.

She seemed happy with it.

I mean, it's not so different, then, you
admit, with Elmerod.

I'm sorry, Doctor.

No, no, it's... It just hadn't occurred
to me that I was a loyal, devoted type.

Probably me just avoiding the issue.

Royal!

No, Doctor, you can't do an operation
this afternoon.

Mr Rose wouldn't have a list.

Can you contact him?

Okay, then I will. And whatever happens,
I'm going to need an ambulance.

Thanks.

That's my ball.

Oh, would you like me to put it back in
the bunker for you, Mr. Rose?

You're a member?

No, certainly I'm not.

I'm Jeff Goodwin.

Your new anesthetist at the Royal? In
that case, I shall make your

next Tuesday morning at 0900 hours
sharp. I have absolutely no reason to

until then.

No, but I need you, Mr. Rose.

I have an elderly male patient with
uremia and prosthetic cancer.

He has a vastly distended bladder.

Then use a catheter, man. Didn't they
teach you anything at medical school?

Yes, well, I've tried.

I can't catheterize the patient because
of the blockage caused by the cancer.

Now, he's going to need a TUR or a
cystotomy at once, in my opinion.

Your opinion had better be right.

or your career as my gasman will be as
miserable as it is brief.

It's my gloves.

Afternoon, Mr Rose.

I thought this was your afternoon off.
So did I.

Mr Middleditch, this is our new doctor.

Ah. T .J. Middledge, hospital secretary.

Welcome to the Royal.

Thank you.

Could we possibly do the formalities
later? I've got an emergency on my

Yes, of course. There was just one
thing.

The police are trying to find you.

Oh. Well, it's always nice to be wanted.

I'll call them back later, Lizzie.

Oh, and I found this.

It's a letter Dr Cheriton was writing.
I'm not too sure who I should give it

Thank you.

Is Mrs Cheriton still in force at Ward?

Do you want me to say that to her?

No, I think perhaps I'd better.

That Dr Goodwin is a bit different,
isn't he?

If you mean different from a doctor.

I'm inclined to agree.

Oh, what's that smell?

Ginger beer.

Are you sure?

No. There's a message for you from Uncle
Martin.

Why? Here we are.

He said the lad came into his garage and
offered to sell him an MGB roadster.

He's got all the details, but it'll cost
you more than 20 quid.

He's got a nerve, hasn't he?

20 pounds sounds quite good to me.

Do you want to sell me not interested?

No, I'll do it.

In a minute.

I know blood's thicker than water,
Lizzie.

But he's asking for it.

Hello?

Ashfordly Police?

How are you feeling?

Much better.

In fact, I was hoping to catch the four
o 'clock train.

As long as the doctor said it's all
right for you to go.

Shall I get your clothes?

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me. I wonder if you could do
something else for me.

I'd like to see Nurse Taylor before I
go.

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you,
Dr Goodwin.

Did I get it wrong?

It's a very egocentric attitude. No,
you've got it quite right. Your patient

does indeed have a tumor.

Bougie, please, nurse.

Well, let's hope you're better with that
than you are with the sandwich.

Clamp, please, nurse.

Mr. Rose?

For Dr.

Goodwin's mouth, he's under the mistaken
impression that I enjoy background

noise while I'm operating.

I don't suppose you've seen the elusive
Dr Goodwin? Yeah, he got back about 20

minutes ago.

Oh, can I have a word?

Your car is in the operating theatre.

They caught the great train robbers in
less time than it's taken me to get hold

of your new doctor.

I'd better have a word with Mr
Middleditch.

Is he in the operating theatre too?

The only time Mr Middleditch ever went
in there, he fainted.

Only I'm not supposed to tell anyone
that.

I won't say.

Is he in his office?

You can go through.

Oh, and next time you see your dad, tell
him that tip -off was bang on.

Thank you for coming.

It's all right.

But I can't stay long.

Apparently, this is in David's doctor's
bag.

He wrote it to me, but never posted it.

I think you should read it.

There's quite a lot about you in there.

Shall I leave you a moment?

No. I just wanted to see him.

What'll you do now?

I don't know.

Can you wait a bit and I'll walk home
with you?

Martha?

I never kissed him before.

But he knew.

He wanted you here with him today.

And he'll always be with you.

I had no idea you meant so much to him.

Well, I was never quite sure.

That's David for you.

David and I, well, we didn't part on
very good terms when he came up here to

work.

I didn't think he should have accepted
the job.

Sometimes I thought he only did it to
get away from me.

He wasn't like that.

I didn't think so.

But we hadn't spoken since then.

I just hoped I'd find something in the
room.

Something to show me that he didn't hate
me.

He didn't?

There was a brooch. He bought it for
your birthday.

Yes.

Yes, I found it.

He was going to send it with the letter.

He said it was a peace offering.

I helped him choose it.

I want you to have it.

It's a peace offering.

Thank you.

When I was alone in his room, I couldn't
find anything.

I didn't think there was going to be
anything.

You don't know how much this letter
means to me.

I do.

He loved you.

Well, I've got a train to catch.

It was good to meet you.

Perhaps you could write to me sometimes.

I'd like to hear your news.

I'll try.

Don't forget him.

Oh, I met her after a year earlier.

I really was upset, though.

Oh, it's all right.

It's my fault.

I meant to talk to you, but I didn't
want to miss the chance of recruiting

You see, I feel... Obviously, I feel
he's ideal.

You think so?

And you obviously don't.

Well, he's not made a great impression
so far.

I'm sure there's a very good reason for
his mysterious fight on his way to work

and his reluctance to actually see any
patients.

But what I really want to know is, why
did he leave his last job?

Well, apparently he didn't take to
Newcastle General.

Apparently?

Newcastle General didn't quite take to
him.

His reference arrived second post.

Apparently. If he hadn't resigned, he'd
have been sacked.

He didn't tell me that.

I bet he didn't.

Good job he hasn't signed his contract.

I think he better have a read.

Well, he's come through that remarkably
well. No longer having a bladder

distended to the size of a melon does
have its benefits. And congratulations,

your diagnosis was correct.

However, I want your solemn undertaking
that you will never set foot on the

hallowed turf of my golf club again.

Well, I shouldn't think they'd want me
as a member.

If you can, did you do me a favour? It
was a case of Chateau Torbert riding on

the game. I was two holes down with
three to play.

Do you know who that is?

Lord Firminger. Oh, yes, we're old
friends.

We go boating together.

What on earth are you doing working at
the Royal?

Could I have a word?

That's a very good question.

What are you doing coming to work at the
Royal?

Well, I needed a job.

You had a job at Newcastle General, but
according to your references, you're on

the point of being sacked.

Yeah, well, that is true.

I was working for a consultant there.

Oddly enough, he reminds me of your Mr
Rose.

And we had an argument when he suggested
that, in his opinion, There were

certain people who would never make it
to doctors.

What's wrong with that?

Those people were women, the Irish, and
quite possibly anyone who went to the

sort of school that I went to. So I
disagreed.

Quite forcefully, which probably was a
mistake. I don't know when to keep my

mouth shut.

So why did you come here?

I really do need a job.

I had to borrow some money to get myself
through medical school and I'm still

paying it back. I can't afford to be out
of work.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have
chosen.

Yes. Dr. Wiggering, phone call for you.

Thank you.

Dr. Goodwin, at last.

Well, I hope that I was worth the wait.

So do I.

The Ashfordly police have recovered your
car.

And this.

Oh, thank you.

Well, this was in my car when it was
stolen this morning.

So I understand.

The police have also arrested a young
man who has forged some prescriptions

using your name.

Well, uh, it's been one of those days.

Well, while I have you here, a word
about your appearance.

Oh, uh, no plus fours at work, if you
don't mind.

How was your first day?

Interesting. Good.

We don't like our doctors to be bored.

Or boring, for that matter.

Well, I shall try and keep you on your
toes.

I'm sure you will.

You know my friend Joan Hayden from
Newcastle?

Yes.

How's her on the phone?

And did she give me a clean bill of
health?

Well, she said that you're infuriating
to work with and you're far too full of

yourself.

But on the other hand, you're an
excellent doctor and we'd be mad not to

you a job.

As if you'd still want it.

Well, I like what I've seen so far.

Welcome to the Royal.

Good night, Ken.

Good night. Good night.

Hey, McKay.

Hey then, Dr Goodwin. What can I do for
you?

I just wanted to say thank you for
finding my car.

You know, the police were surprised your
brother -in -law was so helpful.

Well, the truth is Martin's not really a
hopkirk. He doesn't hope for free.

So I told him you'd pay him a reward.

He found your car, thought he could
fleece you for a few bob.

But once I told him about the drugs and
the stolen prescriptions and the fact

that the police were on the way round to
see him, he came over all cooperative.

So poor old Martin finds my car and ends
up with nothing?

No, no, I promised him a creative home
brew so there'd be no hard feelings.

Good night, Doctor.

Night, Ken.

Hi.

Where are you off to?

Well, I've got to collect my car from
Ashfordly.

Do you want a lift?

Can you drive in those shoes?

No, but it's all right. We can get a
taxi and you can drive me home.
