What did I do with that list?

I've got seven sheep dippings to check this morning.

- You filed it. - Thank you.

See you lunchtime.

No, you won't!

Sally's coming up from York, remember?

Well, if I don't see her, give her my love.

Where's my toast?!

See you!

Come along, Ventress. You can move faster than that.

I want this place smarten up.

I'll never find anything again.

Inspector Crossley's not catching me out. He could be here any minute.

What makes you so certain, sarge.

Because I know the way his mind works, Bellamy.

And we can't have him thinking standards have dropped

since he was a wet-behind-the-ears constable like you.

Hello.

- Are you looking for Nick? - Constable Rowan.

That's right. He's sheep dipping.

- I'm Kate Rowan. - Alistair Crossley.

Well, it's certainly an unusual police house.

I'm between surgeries, I think that's the phrase.

- If you'll excuse me. - Of course.

The needs of the patient comes first.

I'll catch up with your husband in Ashfordly, I'm sure.

Yes, you probably will.

And, er, if I am ever taken ill in Aidensfield,

I'm sure I couldn't be in better hands.

- Hello, Mrs. Bannaghan. - Hello.

- I'll leave you to it, then. - Bye-bye.

Right, Mr. Hasworth, come on through.

CLOCK TICKING

So, where is he, then?

- Perhaps he's not coming. - He'll come.

And for ten things right, he'll find 11 things wrong.

I know him.

SHEEP BLEATING

Cheers, thank you.

I appreciate that things are done differently

out in the sticks, Sergeant.

But charming as Kate Rowan might be,

I do not expect to walk into a North Riding police house

and find the equivalent of a refugee camp.

Rowan assures me it's only temporary, sir.

The police house at Aidensfield is not available for its proper use.

It's a melting pot for every German virus in the neighbourhood,

and it's being used to run a business.

That's strictly forbidden.

Well, Mrs. Rowan is the local doctor, sir.

A business is a business.

When I was a constable

you didn't treat the rule book in quite such a cavalier fashion,

did you, Sergeant?

I'll speak to Rowan, sir.

Ashfordly is now under direct command

from subdivisional headquarters in Whitby, Sergeant.

So, if a shakeup is needed...

...then a shakeup there will be.

Yeah, yeah. I can do Sunday.

Great. Ta-ra. Ta-ra.

Well?

Well, he said he'd phone today, and he did.

- Huh? - Brian.

With the club in Whitby. He came in last week.

- He said I had a great voice. - Oh, him!

I don't know as it was your voice...

He wants me to sing in his club on Sunday!

I told you he was serious.

Look, you can't just go and...

I mean, there's more to singing than just singing.

He's only after one thing, him.

Oh... Thanks a bunch!

Mobility is the key to policing now.

That means the end of old-fashioned beat-pounding

and the introduction of an up-to-date car patrol system.

So, you're Constable Rowan, I take it.

- A pity you couldn't be here earlier. - Sir?

Inspector Crossley will be supervising the station, Rowan,

- from a new... - From now on, Ashfordly comes under

direct command from subdivisional headquarters in Whitby.

Sergeant Blaketon has been trying to get you on the radio, Rowan.

It's a big sheep dipping day. For scab, up on the Moors.

I was out of range.

- Always a good excuse. - No, sir.

New equipment should soon sort that out.

We can put a man into space, after all.

BELLAMY SCOFFS

Anyway...

...the Chief Constable has decided it's time the command structure

was brought up to date.

So I shall always be paying my visits at short notice, if any.

I think that's the best way to find out what's really going on.

Now, the changes in the towns will be mirrored in the countryside, too.

Sergeant Blaketon has maps of the larger areas

to be patrolled by rural officers.

Your area, Rowan, will now stretch to the outskirts of Whitby.

That's all for now. Thank you, men.

- Sergeant Blaketon. - Thank you, sir.

- Men. - ALL: Thank you, sir.

Oh, by the way, there won't be any passengers on my division.

Rowan?

I called in at Aidensfield this morning

and was rather surprised to find myself

in the middle of a doctor's surgery.

- It can get a bit chaotic. - That's putting it mildly.

Now, I expect you to sort it out, and fast.

Yes, sir.

You wouldn't have got away with that in the Met, Rowan.

- Don't think you will here. - No, sir.

That's all.

There he is, Clive. There's our Mr. Greengrass.

WHISPERS: Come on.

Doesn't look like he's sitting on a small fortune.

I've got a nose for these things.

That's four and six.

Don't say you left your money at home again.

Nick needs a bit of pushing but I'm up to that.

So, what's your news?

I've decided to take the plunge. I'm leaving the hospital.

General practice? Where?

Still in York. Four practices pooling resources.

We're moving into a brand-new health centre.

New equipment, our own X-ray.

You lucky thing!

Proper facilities for clinics. A pharmacy, you name it.

And you're here to gloat.

Sounds terrific. Here's to it.

How committed are you to Aidensfield?

Eh?

I always thought you came back as much

because you're bloody- minded as anything.

Show them you could take on a country practice.

Oh, come on, Sal. There was more to it than that.

It's what we both wanted.

Now you've proved it, what next?

A house with enough room for a surgery.

Seriously, Kate.

My partners in York want another GP.

- A woman. - I'm not looking for a job.

We were talking about you the other night.

They'd like you to join.

Yes, well, I'm very flattered,

but I've hardly established myself in Aidensfield.

Do you remember how we used to sit up till four in the morning,

planning how we'd bring general practice out of the dark ages?

- Just the two of us. - I remember the hangovers.

They're serious about offering you the job.

Sally, I'm not even thinking about moving.

It's my turn.

I said it was temporary, Sarge.

Doesn't sound very temporary to me, Rowan.

Nor to Inspector Crossley. KNOCKING

- Well? - Greengrass on the phone for Nick.

Greengrass!

Well, I suppose we should be grateful he didn't call into the police house

and drop off a dead rabbit while Inspector Crossley was there.

Constable, we are Inland Revenue collectors,

investigating irregularities in Mr. Greengrass' tax.

He's driven us off the road,

threatened us and severely damaged this car.

Inland Revenue! Even I've never thought of that one.

Inland Revenue is exactly who they are.

And neither was Blaketon, once he'd finished with him.

I'm surprised the Inspector was being difficult.

He was absolutely charming to me.

Are you sure Blaketon wasn't playing him up?

Now, Mr. Greengrass, you are not denying that the sale

of land to the Ministry of Defence resulted in a profit of £25,000.

25,000?!

Where did you get a fairy story like that from?

I have the MoD documents in front of me.

If we regard this money as income,

you will pay income tax on the first £2,000

and surtax on the remaining £23,000.

If we regard it as capital gains,

you will pay eight and three in the pound on the whole sum.

HE MUMBLES

I-I-I'm not really with you.

There will be a bill for between ten and £12,000.

It's daylight robbery, is that.

There is also the question of interest on the unpaid tax.

Then there's the fact that you've paid no income tax

since April 1953.

I-I know, but... I've earned nowt.

We believe you've earned money in various ways, Mr. Greengrass.

Trapping and selling animals.

Rabbits, hares, fish, game.

I... I know. That's poaching.

I mean, you can't tax somebody for doing something that's illegal.

I mean... I mean... it's not really right.

Tax is due on all income.

Even when acquired by nefarious means.

You can't get money out of a man as can't pay, can you?

We think you can.

The courts don't look very favourably on noncompliance.

Prison sentences are not uncommon.

STUTTERS: Prison?

You may be wise to avail yourself

of the services of an accountant, Mr. Greengrass.

We are going to be seeing a lot more of each other.

Good day.

PHONE RINGS

Dr. Rowan.

Kate, I got a message to ring you.

Yes, I got a letter from James Radcliffe this morning.

I hardly know the man.

"Well, I might have mentioned you to him."

Obviously, somebody else you've been talking to.

I just said you might be looking for something.

I'm not looking for a job.

"But he's not talking about a new job, Kate,"

"just a slightly different one."

And Whitby's not that far for you, is it?

No.

No, I hadn't thought of it like that.

Yeah.

All right, I'll think again. See you, Sally. Bye-bye.

What we need here is the truth.

HE STUTTERS

You see, it's not as simple as that, is it?

Mr. Greengrass, this is costing you money.

How much?

Well, the trouble is,

apart from the tax you'll pay on your wee windfall...

the unpaid income tax will be charged at a sum

that you can't really argue with,

because you earned it, shall we say, not entirely within the law.

They're a lot of thieves.

I once advised a greengrocer who paid no tax at all in 25 years.

I told him that if he wasn't considering changing his name

and getting on a boat to Australia,

that I'd work out what the Inland Revenue might accept as an offer.

It was going to be a tidy amount.

Anyway, he phoned me six weeks later,

told me he no longer required my services.

Sounded a long way away.

He was somewhere in the Northern Territory.

Do you think they'll give us a discount for cash?

BOTH LAUGH No, I reckon we've got it made.

Cos with Blaketon in Ashfordly, this Crossley fella in Whitby

and a couple of hundred square miles in between,

they'll never know where we are.

Word is, when Crossley was a constable,

Blaketon used to give him a hard time.

- And now he's his inspector. - Exactly.

I wonder how his son went on in court today.

I don't know.

I hope they didn't give him a hard time.

This income tax looks as if it's getting Claude down.

Serves him right. He never pays his bills.

Should have been locked up years ago.

I think we ought to invite him to Whitby with us.

Might bring him out of himself.

If you want him, you ask him.

You okay to come to Whitby?

...

I might need police protection, you know.

You can have it any time you want, Gina.

Now, come on, it's been ages since we had a day out.

I think it's a great idea.

I'd hate to miss Gina's debut.

I'd have put money on you saying we should be out looking for houses.

Oh, we should.

Irresponsibility wins, though.

I'm reading about you in the paper, Rowan.

There's an article here in the Yorkshire Post

about the drowned man.

Mentions you.

And there's another piece.

A journalist seems to think it humorous about a brawl

in an amusement arcade.

Started by a large fat man with a smelly lurcher

who appeared to be using the dog to fiddle one-armed bandits.

Unlikely.

"The owner took exception, and a disturbance ensued."

"Lurcher and owner disappeared with two accomplices."

"One of them claimed to be a constable in the North Riding Constabulary."

Unlikely, in the extreme!

I don't know any constables

who are capable of aiding and abetting a dog.

Do you, Bellamy?

Good morning.

Ready for inspection, Sergeant Blaketon?

Ready and waiting, sir.

Now, before we start,

presumably you've heard what happened in Whitby from Rowan.

- Very sad, sir. - Mm.

There's also a scurrilous article in the newspaper

about a fracas in an amusement arcade.

A fracas, sir?

A man who claimed to be a police officer.

Really, sir?

I assume no-one else was in Whitby yesterday afternoon.

Well, I certainly wasn't, sir. BLAKETON CHUCKLES

Shall we start with the paperwork?

Perhaps we should start with the custody records, Sergeant.

Right, sir. This way.

Bellamy... cup of tea for the inspector.

Yes, Sarge.

When are you going to see this Dr. Radcliffe?

Wednesday.

Oh...

If we ever felt Aidensfield wasn't right...

there are other villages.

We wouldn't have to change what we want.

It's not going to be easy to leave, though, is it?

I promised you a lot of things...

- but I never... BOTH: ...said it would be easy.

You're right, though.

It's beautiful.
