Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:42,433 --> 00:00:44,666
-Morning, Mrs Hall.
-Morning, sir.
2
00:00:44,766 --> 00:00:47,566
-It's a lovely morning.
-Ah, cows are sitting down.
3
00:00:47,633 --> 00:00:51,300
That means we'll have rain
sometime today. Quite soon,
I shouldn't wonder.
4
00:00:51,366 --> 00:00:52,500
Really?
5
00:00:52,566 --> 00:00:54,066
-Scrambled eggs.
-Pardon?
6
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,100
-For breakfast.
-Oh. I'll eat anything.
7
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,566
They're my favourite,
scrambled eggs.
8
00:01:00,633 --> 00:01:02,166
Mr Farnon not down yet?
9
00:01:02,233 --> 00:01:06,000
He's gone through to
Lord Hulton to do the
post-mortem on that horse.
10
00:01:06,466 --> 00:01:07,466
The one you shot.
11
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,300
Oh, that.
12
00:01:11,166 --> 00:01:12,433
Yes.
13
00:01:34,866 --> 00:01:36,300
You call that clean, eh?
14
00:01:36,433 --> 00:01:37,833
I haven't done that yet,
Mr Soames.
15
00:01:37,966 --> 00:01:39,933
Well, get a move on, will you?
We haven't got all day.
16
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,400
And just remember
17
00:01:41,766 --> 00:01:44,066
there's lots of people
on the dole
know about horses,
18
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:46,166
who would jump
at your soft job.
19
00:01:50,466 --> 00:01:51,466
By hell.
20
00:01:52,633 --> 00:01:55,933
I can't wait for Lord Hulton
to get back from Scarborough.
21
00:01:56,166 --> 00:01:58,433
He'll be down on that Herriot
like a tonne of bricks.
22
00:01:58,666 --> 00:02:00,733
-If he were wrong.
-He was wrong!
23
00:02:01,866 --> 00:02:04,200
I've forgotten more about
horses than he'll ever know.
24
00:02:10,566 --> 00:02:13,466
What did I tell thee?
Here comes rain.
25
00:02:15,366 --> 00:02:17,166
Is there something wrong
with your eggs?
26
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,600
No, no, it's fine.
27
00:02:18,866 --> 00:02:19,866
It's just, um...
28
00:02:21,033 --> 00:02:22,366
I don't really seem
very hungry.
29
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
(CAR HORN HONKING)
30
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,566
Hello, Penelope.
How's that baby,
Mrs Walburton?
31
00:03:05,633 --> 00:03:08,033
-Oh, she's fine, thank you.
-Well done, you.
32
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:23,366
-Morning.
-Morning, James.
33
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,100
-Coffee still hot?
-Yes, just made.
Shall I, er...
34
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:29,533
No, I can manage.
35
00:03:30,533 --> 00:03:32,900
I wonder if I
could have the sugar,
please, James.
36
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:37,533
Thank you.
37
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,500
No, I'll have it black.
38
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:56,600
-You've been over
to Lord Hulton's, then?
-Yes, all done.
39
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,500
How did it go?
40
00:04:01,566 --> 00:04:05,200
All right.
Straightforward enough.
41
00:04:10,966 --> 00:04:14,466
Classical torsion, several
loops of bowel involved,
black and tympanitic.
42
00:04:14,566 --> 00:04:16,133
You did well,
James, well.
43
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,700
Oh, good.
44
00:04:17,766 --> 00:04:19,566
(LAUGHS)
Had you sweating a bit there,
didn't I?
45
00:04:19,633 --> 00:04:20,700
Yes, you could say that.
46
00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:22,366
Well, you can stop
sweating now.
47
00:04:22,866 --> 00:04:25,400
Damn good thing you put
the poor beggar
out of his misery.
48
00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:27,066
You've got
nothing to worry about.
49
00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:29,400
It's more than I can say
for that wretched man Soames.
50
00:04:29,466 --> 00:04:30,666
He was there, was he?
51
00:04:30,766 --> 00:04:33,200
He was there trying to mix you
a bottle. I soon put a stop
to that.
52
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,633
I asked him how he thought
Lord Hulton was going to feel
when he found out
53
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,733
how long he kept his favourite
hunter suffering
before calling us in.
54
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,666
-Gave him something
to chew on, I can tell you.
-Yes, I can imagine!
55
00:04:42,733 --> 00:04:44,233
Are you ready?
56
00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:45,933
Yes.
57
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,866
Let's go have a look
at the day book,
and see if we can't find you
58
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,566
a few trouble-free
cases this time.
59
00:04:54,033 --> 00:04:55,033
Ah, yes, I know.
60
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,333
Handshaw's farm.
Course, you won't know
who that is, will you?
61
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,700
Er, no.
62
00:05:00,766 --> 00:05:02,300
I'll write it down for you.
63
00:05:02,433 --> 00:05:07,433
Um... One of his cows
has had milk fever.
64
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,400
I've given her a couple
of injections, but according
to old Handshaw,
65
00:05:11,466 --> 00:05:12,766
she still won't
get off her backside.
66
00:05:12,866 --> 00:05:14,566
-Have a look at her for me,
will you?
-Right.
67
00:05:15,033 --> 00:05:19,033
You get there on
the Borton Road,
third turn to the left,
68
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:21,033
just after the cock hatch.
69
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:22,300
All right?
70
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,833
-How's that look to you?
-Thanks.
71
00:05:25,900 --> 00:05:28,766
Do me a favour
while you're out,
will you, James?
72
00:05:29,133 --> 00:05:30,133
Yes, of course.
73
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,833
I have my brother arriving
today, he's been at
veterinary college.
74
00:05:32,900 --> 00:05:34,000
His term finished yesterday.
75
00:05:34,066 --> 00:05:35,833
His train's due in at midday.
Would you mind picking him up?
76
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,600
Yes, of course.
How will I recognise him?
77
00:05:37,766 --> 00:05:40,633
You shouldn't have any trouble
there, he looks rather
like me, I suppose.
78
00:05:40,866 --> 00:05:42,666
Except he's a fresh-faced kid.
79
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:48,266
Rings under his eyes.
Bit like a debauched choirboy.
(CHUCKLES)
80
00:05:48,700 --> 00:05:51,333
-His name's Tristan,
by the way.
-Tristan?
81
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:52,500
-Yeah.
-Really?
82
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,833
Father was dotty
about Wagner.
83
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:57,433
Quite partial to a bit of
Wagner myself.
84
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200
But you weren't
subjected to it, were you?
Morning, noon and night.
85
00:06:01,833 --> 00:06:04,633
Or stuck with a ridiculous
name like Siegfried.
86
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,700
Still... Thank you.
87
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:08,733
I suppose it
could have been worse.
88
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:12,200
Could've been, er, Wotan.
89
00:06:12,266 --> 00:06:16,400
-Or Pogner.
-I'd forgotten
about old Pogner!
90
00:06:16,466 --> 00:06:19,700
-Pogner Farnon.
-Sounds like a south coast
holiday resort.
91
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,166
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
92
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,300
Yes!
93
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,433
Bitch. Bloody lazy bitch.
94
00:07:00,733 --> 00:07:02,700
She's got it into
her today, Arthur.
95
00:07:02,766 --> 00:07:04,666
Yeah, the bitch that she is.
96
00:07:04,733 --> 00:07:09,233
Have you tried
rubbing her tail
between two sticks?
97
00:07:09,933 --> 00:07:13,100
Or setting a strange dog
on her.
That usually does the trick.
98
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:14,166
A strange dog.
99
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:23,433
Good morning.
100
00:07:23,566 --> 00:07:25,466
-What do you want?
-Mr Hanshall?
101
00:07:25,533 --> 00:07:26,533
Handshaw.
102
00:07:27,866 --> 00:07:31,033
Oh, yes, of course.
Sorry! It's his handwriting.
103
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,533
-I said what do you want?
-James Herriot,
Mr Farnon's new assistant.
104
00:07:34,766 --> 00:07:35,800
Where's Mr Farnon?
105
00:07:35,866 --> 00:07:37,833
He's not coming.
He asked me to have
a look at her.
106
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,433
Oh, hell, that's all we need.
107
00:07:52,233 --> 00:07:55,133
This is the lady
in question, is it?
108
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,966
This ear's very wet!
109
00:08:02,233 --> 00:08:03,733
-Well, it will be.
-Oh?
110
00:08:04,133 --> 00:08:05,766
-Water.
-Pardon?
111
00:08:06,566 --> 00:08:08,533
Water. Surely
you've heard of that.
112
00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:10,933
If they'll not get up,
try pouring a bottle
of cold water
113
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,833
down their lughole.
Old trick of my dad's,
were that.
114
00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,766
And we did know about stuff,
me dad.
115
00:08:18,066 --> 00:08:19,066
I see.
116
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:20,900
Did it have any effect?
117
00:08:21,533 --> 00:08:23,600
Oh, it doesn't always work.
118
00:08:29,666 --> 00:08:33,066
Let's not muck about.
Get her tail whipped off
and let's have done with it.
119
00:08:33,533 --> 00:08:34,933
And how is that gonna help,
Mr Handshaw?
120
00:08:35,066 --> 00:08:37,333
Worm in the tail,
it's obviously
what's doing her.
121
00:08:37,566 --> 00:08:41,466
There's no such complaint as
worm in the tail, Mr Handshaw.
That's just a popular myth.
122
00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:45,700
Every cow I've ever seen's
got up damn quick when
she's had her tail off.
123
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,700
Well, she would. Wouldn't you?
124
00:08:49,233 --> 00:08:52,133
The pain must be
quite excruciating.
125
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:55,033
New at this game, are you?
126
00:08:55,466 --> 00:08:56,466
Reasonably.
127
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,766
Aye.
And Scotch, so they tell me.
128
00:09:01,066 --> 00:09:02,166
"Aye"!
129
00:09:02,366 --> 00:09:03,766
That's right!
130
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,633
You could try
shouting down her lughole.
131
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:09,100
What?
132
00:09:10,166 --> 00:09:14,566
Shouting down her lughole.
Haven't you heard of that one,
either?
133
00:09:15,633 --> 00:09:18,700
Well, I suppose anything's
worth a try. Help yourself.
134
00:09:19,033 --> 00:09:20,566
(CHUCKLES)
135
00:09:20,866 --> 00:09:21,866
Thou are the vet.
136
00:09:21,933 --> 00:09:23,300
Cush!
137
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Beg your pardon?
138
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,800
That's what they shout
at cows. Cush.
139
00:09:30,966 --> 00:09:32,366
Cush.
140
00:09:39,166 --> 00:09:40,566
(IN DEEPER VOICE) Cush.
141
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:43,266
Aye, is that best tha can do?
142
00:09:45,366 --> 00:09:48,833
(SHOUTS) Cush!
143
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,133
Come on!
144
00:09:52,533 --> 00:09:55,233
There you go. Go on.
Get down there!
145
00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:03,466
Rock her gently
from side to side,
will you, please?
146
00:10:06,066 --> 00:10:07,300
And again.
147
00:10:09,966 --> 00:10:12,933
Yes. I suspected as much.
148
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,400
-What?
-I'm sorry, Mr Handshaw.
This cow has a broken pelvis.
149
00:10:18,466 --> 00:10:21,100
And damaged nerve
endings as well,
I shouldn't wonder.
150
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:29,533
It probably happened the first
night when she was staggering
around with the milk fever.
151
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
I'm afraid that's one cow
that's never going
to get up again.
152
00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:35,633
Best thing you can do is
get her down to the butcher's
as quickly as possible.
153
00:10:36,533 --> 00:10:39,366
There must be
something you can do.
154
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,000
I'm afraid there isn't,
Mr Handshaw.
155
00:10:41,466 --> 00:10:44,100
If me dad were alive,
he'd have done something.
156
00:10:44,466 --> 00:10:47,733
I hardly think so.
Not with a broken pelvis.
157
00:10:49,433 --> 00:10:52,433
Dad! Hey, Dad!
158
00:10:53,033 --> 00:10:54,866
-Dad!
-What?
159
00:10:55,633 --> 00:10:57,800
Some daft bugger's left
top gate open!
160
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,833
There's cows all over
the meadow and some
in the corn field.
161
00:11:11,366 --> 00:11:12,966
You...
162
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,166
-Tristan Farnon, I presume?
-Yes!
163
00:11:35,233 --> 00:11:40,233
-James Herriot, your brother's
new assistant.
-Oh, hello! Thanks.
164
00:12:07,166 --> 00:12:09,933
-JAMES: You'll have just
finished your exams, then?
-That's right.
165
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,233
-Pathology and parasitology.
-Oh, yes!
166
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:17,100
-Good journey down?
-Slept for most of it.
167
00:12:18,266 --> 00:12:21,166
Oh. Really?
168
00:13:00,033 --> 00:13:03,500
-Bit of a roughish
end of term party last night.
-Ah!
169
00:13:03,566 --> 00:13:05,833
Swinging the lamp
and telling the tale, eh?
170
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:08,100
Mine was with a couple of
girlfriends, actually.
171
00:13:08,566 --> 00:13:09,566
Oh!
172
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,300
Really?
173
00:13:11,433 --> 00:13:12,466
Hey, you! Herriot!
174
00:13:12,533 --> 00:13:14,133
Hello, Mr Handshaw!
175
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,700
I just thought I'd let you
know you'll not be
getting paid
176
00:13:16,766 --> 00:13:18,733
for that professional advice
you gave me.
177
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:20,933
Oh?
178
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,666
That cow will
never get up again, he says.
179
00:13:22,766 --> 00:13:24,600
Get her down to the butcher's,
he says.
180
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:27,933
Half an hour later, she's up
on her feet, trotting around
like a 2-year-old.
181
00:13:28,066 --> 00:13:29,833
That's impossible!
182
00:13:29,933 --> 00:13:31,866
Oh, I went down to
the butcher's, all right.
183
00:13:31,933 --> 00:13:34,033
Got myself a fresh
killed sheepskin.
184
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:37,833
I put it on her back and,
whoosh, up she
gets in no time.
185
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,200
What do you think of that,
then, eh?
186
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,733
Old trick of me dad's,
of course.
187
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,100
Now, he knew about stock.
188
00:13:54,933 --> 00:13:56,633
Mrs Hall!
189
00:13:56,766 --> 00:13:59,100
-Hello, Master Tristan!
-How do you do it?
190
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:02,166
-What's that?
-Manage to look younger
every time I see you.
191
00:14:02,266 --> 00:14:04,433
Oh! Get away with you
and your bother!
192
00:14:04,533 --> 00:14:07,233
-Is my brother in?
-No, he won't be back
till tonight.
193
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,066
-The old sheepskin trick, hmm?
-You've heard of it before,
have you?
194
00:14:21,166 --> 00:14:22,166
Oh, yes.
195
00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:25,000
Works like a sort of a poke,
you see?
196
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:27,233
Damned uncomfortable,
I would think.
197
00:14:27,666 --> 00:14:29,700
Well, if a cow is lying there
out of sheer discomfort,
198
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,500
she will sometimes get up
just to be rid of it.
199
00:14:32,733 --> 00:14:35,400
Amazing, isn't it,
how there is often
200
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:38,866
a grain of sense in these
old quack remedies?
201
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,100
-Cheerio.
-Good health.
202
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,133
-It still doesn't make any
kind of sense, though.
-What?
203
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,333
That cow had a broken pelvis.
I definitely heard the bones
creaking.
204
00:14:48,433 --> 00:14:49,433
Oh, yes.
205
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,066
-The cow had recently calved,
hadn't she?
-Yes.
206
00:14:52,133 --> 00:14:53,700
-There you are, then, you see.
-What do you mean?
207
00:14:53,766 --> 00:14:56,633
In some cows,
the pelvic ligaments
208
00:14:56,700 --> 00:15:00,633
don't always tighten up
for a few days and
it can give the same effect.
209
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,100
Oh, I see.
210
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,566
Still and all, I think
it's only fair to warn you.
211
00:15:04,633 --> 00:15:05,633
What's that?
212
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,166
That cow's about to become
a celebrity,
if I know old Handshaw.
213
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,233
He's gonna show her off
to every last man
in the district
214
00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,633
as the cow that Mr Herriot
said would never walk again.
215
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:15,733
(SCOFFS)
216
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:21,300
Oh, you're down at last,
are you?
217
00:15:21,366 --> 00:15:23,866
Thought I'd take a bath,
freshen up a bit.
218
00:15:24,433 --> 00:15:25,666
How are you?
219
00:15:26,900 --> 00:15:28,033
Fine.
220
00:15:28,100 --> 00:15:30,033
Do you mind if I, um...
221
00:15:31,366 --> 00:15:32,866
Help yourself.
222
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,866
So... How did the exams go?
223
00:15:41,933 --> 00:15:44,833
Not bad.
I did all right
in parasitology.
224
00:15:45,033 --> 00:15:46,033
And pathology?
225
00:15:47,333 --> 00:15:50,733
I didn't do quite so well
in pathology.
Didn't get it.
226
00:15:51,833 --> 00:15:54,700
-You failed pathology?
-Right.
227
00:15:55,566 --> 00:15:57,100
Still, that's pretty good,
you know?
228
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,400
-Pretty good?
-Getting parasitology.
229
00:15:59,866 --> 00:16:01,100
And pathology's a very
tough subject.
230
00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:04,800
-Oh, it was tough!
-You can sit it
-again at Christmas.
231
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,166
-There is always Christmas.
-Yeah!
232
00:16:07,233 --> 00:16:10,766
-And you think
that's pretty good, do you?
-Well...
233
00:16:11,166 --> 00:16:12,766
-Yes.
-I don't think
it's pretty good.
234
00:16:13,033 --> 00:16:16,600
I think it's awful.
(SHOUTING) A damn disgrace!
235
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:19,900
Just what the hell have you
been doing all this term?
236
00:16:19,966 --> 00:16:22,400
Boozing, I suppose.
Chasing women, I suppose.
Spending my money!
237
00:16:22,466 --> 00:16:26,333
And now you have the nerve
to come in here and tell me
that you failed pathology.
238
00:16:27,433 --> 00:16:28,866
Well, I've had enough
this time.
239
00:16:28,933 --> 00:16:31,066
I'm sick of you, you see?
Sick!
240
00:16:31,133 --> 00:16:33,033
I'm not going to go on working
my fingers to the bone
241
00:16:33,100 --> 00:16:34,833
just to keep you there idling
away your time.
242
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:36,300
-(STUTTERS)
-Shut up!
243
00:16:36,366 --> 00:16:39,300
You're sacked! Do you hear me?
You're sacked!
244
00:16:39,433 --> 00:16:42,133
Go on, get out of here!
I don't want to see you
around here any more!
245
00:16:42,366 --> 00:16:44,233
Get out! (SPITS)
246
00:16:54,866 --> 00:16:56,933
Parasite!
247
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,500
Oh, it's all right, dogs.
Calm down, calm down.
248
00:17:15,833 --> 00:17:17,233
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
249
00:17:18,366 --> 00:17:19,400
Come in.
250
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:26,066
-Oh, hello, James.
-Er, no, I won't, thanks.
251
00:17:29,133 --> 00:17:32,266
I'm sorry about
the way things have
worked out.
252
00:17:32,333 --> 00:17:33,466
(SIGHS) Could've been worse.
253
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,000
It's bad enough,
though, isn't it?
254
00:17:35,966 --> 00:17:37,600
-What are you gonna do?
-Do?
255
00:17:37,666 --> 00:17:39,100
Well, now that he's kicked
you out.
256
00:17:39,366 --> 00:17:41,333
I mean, for a start,
where are you
going to sleep tonight?
257
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,533
-Well, here. Where else?
-But he sacked you!
258
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,300
Oh, he's always doing that!
259
00:17:45,366 --> 00:17:47,400
Always forgets immediately
afterwards.
260
00:17:47,866 --> 00:17:48,866
Oh, I see.
261
00:17:50,533 --> 00:17:52,600
That was the tricky part,
of course,
262
00:17:52,966 --> 00:17:55,000
getting him to swallow
that bit
about parasitology.
263
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,833
Parasitology, but you said you
passed in parasitology!
264
00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:01,200
No, I didn't. You did.
What I said was
I'd done all right.
265
00:18:01,766 --> 00:18:03,200
You flunked that one as well?
266
00:18:03,266 --> 00:18:08,100
Oh, yes. Still, as you
said yourself,
there's always Christmas, eh?
267
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:11,400
Yes.

-I'll get it, Siegfried.
-God, no, you won't.

Hello, yes?

Oh, Mrs Pumphrey...

00:18:37,133 --> 00:18:41,433
Tricki-woo's gone what?
Flop Bot again? I see.
273
00:18:41,866 --> 00:18:44,466
Ah, well, I'll send someone
out to see him.
274
00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:46,566
Goodbye.
275
00:18:47,766 --> 00:18:50,100
Mrs Pumphrey.
Tricki-woo's started
276
00:18:50,166 --> 00:18:52,300
-going Flop Bot again.
-Tricki-who?

00:18:52,366 --> 00:18:54,633
-Woo.
-Flop Bot?
278
00:18:55,466 --> 00:18:57,400
-For you.
-What?
279
00:18:57,466 --> 00:18:58,866
The blasted telephone.
280
00:18:59,433 --> 00:19:01,266
-I hear no telephone.
-Of course you don't.
I just answered it!
281
00:19:01,333 --> 00:19:04,100
How many times have I got
to tell you, it is your job
282
00:19:04,266 --> 00:19:07,100
to take the early morning
calls? Your job!
283
00:19:07,366 --> 00:19:10,900

get out of that damn bed?

She's a widow,
worth a fortune.
Her old man was a beer baron.
287
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Had breweries
all over Yorkshire
till he popped off.

-Who's Tricki-woo?
-Her Pekinese.
289
00:19:23,933 --> 00:19:28,066
-Oh, I see! I've never heard
of that condition it had.
-Oh, yeah.
290

-Flop Bot.
-(SNIGGERS) Yeah, that's it.

-That's one of
Mrs Pumphrey's own.
-Oh, yes?
292

The woman feeds her dog
all the wrong things, and
as a result he's overweight

and subject to impacted
anal glands.
294
00:19:40,366 --> 00:19:44,966
Every so often, the condition
becomes acute and he simply
flops down in mid-walk

-Leave that now
and come along.

Tricki-woo's exercise,

will throw our rings for us

than that, Hodgekin!

-Let me help you.
-Oh, thank you.

thank heavens
you've come so quickly.

my poor darling's
been going through.

he'll be all right, now?

been passionately
fond of the Scots.

He met an Aberdeen terrier
when he was on holiday
in Scarborough once,

-and they absolutely
adored one another!

Flop Bot, he's been in a
very happy mood today,

-because of his win.

you know.
332
00:22:18,533 --> 00:22:20,400
The bookmaker in town
loves him.
333
00:22:20,966 --> 00:22:21,966
Yes, I can imagine.
334
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:26,900
-Mind you, he has disappointed
me about the summer house.
-Oh, yes?
335
00:22:26,966 --> 00:22:31,133
Well, you see, I had it built
specially so we could
sit out together
336
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,800
on warm summer afternoons,
337
00:22:32,866 --> 00:22:35,633
but he's taken the most
violent dislike to it.
338
00:22:35,833 --> 00:22:41,366
-Oh, dear. Really?
-Yesterday he called it
"that bloody hut."
339
00:22:41,766 --> 00:22:45,400
-Good grief!
-I can't think where he picks
up such language.
340
00:22:45,833 --> 00:22:47,366
-Unless, of course,
it's from Hodgekin.
-Ah.
341
00:22:47,433 --> 00:22:49,766
He doesn't care what he
comes out with.
342
00:22:50,066 --> 00:22:51,966
He is a bit overweight,
you know, Mrs Pumphrey.
343
00:22:52,333 --> 00:22:54,500
-Hodgekin?
-No, Tricki-woo.
344
00:22:55,166 --> 00:22:58,800
Oh, yes,
I know, but, well, I mean,
what can one do?
345
00:22:59,133 --> 00:23:01,900
I mean, he does get so bored
with chicken.
346
00:23:01,966 --> 00:23:05,100
He was telling his pen friend
only the other day.
347
00:23:05,666 --> 00:23:08,033
His pen friend?
348
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:11,200
Oh, yes!
He has a pen friend!
349
00:23:11,666 --> 00:23:16,633
It all started when he wrote
a letter to The Doggy Times,
sending a donation.
350
00:23:16,700 --> 00:23:20,633
-Oh, yes?
-He told the editor that
although he was descended from
351
00:23:20,733 --> 00:23:23,066
a long line
of Chinese emperors,
352
00:23:23,266 --> 00:23:26,400
he decided to come down anyway
and mingle with
the ordinary dogs.
353
00:23:27,566 --> 00:23:31,800
-So, would the editor please
find him a pen friend?
-Really?
354
00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:35,366
And he got the most beautiful
letter back from the editor,
355
00:23:35,466 --> 00:23:37,800
saying that he would see
what he could do.
356
00:23:37,933 --> 00:23:39,700
Bonzo Fotheringham.
357
00:23:39,933 --> 00:23:40,966
I beg your pardon?
358
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:42,966
-That's his name.
-The editor?
359
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:48,166
No. His pen friend.
He's a lonely Dalmatian.
360
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,633
-Oh, I see.
-Tricki always sends
him a hamper at Christmastime
361
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,433
-from Fortnum's.
-Bonzo Fotheringham?
362
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,133
No, the editor!
363
00:23:58,733 --> 00:23:59,800
Ah.
364
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,700
(RINGS DOORBELL)
365
00:24:13,933 --> 00:24:16,133
-Hasn't Siegfried
surfaced yet?
-Just about.
366
00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,166
-In a pretty vile humour,
I'm afraid.
-Oh?
367
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,866
He was up most of the night
over at Whiteley's place
with one of the cows.
368
00:24:22,966 --> 00:24:24,466
Seems to blame you for it.
369
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:25,700
Me?
370
00:24:26,033 --> 00:24:27,333
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
371
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,233
Nigel, leave that
for a moment.
372
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,066
-Now, today is market day,
right?
-Right.
373
00:24:38,366 --> 00:24:40,033
All the bills went
out on Wednesday,
374
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,233
and everyone will be
queuing up shortly
to give us their money.
375
00:24:42,300 --> 00:24:44,733
I want you to devote
the entire day
to taking it from them.
376
00:24:44,833 --> 00:24:46,100
-All right?
-Right?
377
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,666
Take the money,
give them a receipt.
Then write their names
378
00:24:48,766 --> 00:24:50,700
down in the receipt book.
Do you think you
can manage that
379
00:24:50,866 --> 00:24:52,633
without making
a bloody hash of it?
380
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:54,600
I think I might just
be able to cope.
381
00:24:54,866 --> 00:24:57,833
Then get on with it.
You'll find the receipt book
over there on the desk.
382
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:59,966
Er...
383
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,200
Morning.
384
00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:05,200
-Morning, James.
-Bit of a late night, then?
385
00:25:05,266 --> 00:25:07,033
Eh, you could say that.
386
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:09,333
I got to bed just before dawn.
387
00:25:10,133 --> 00:25:12,000
Thanks largely to you,
I might add.
388
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:13,600
Me?
389
00:25:13,666 --> 00:25:15,766
One of the Whiteley's cows
has a mild impaction.
390
00:25:15,833 --> 00:25:17,700
He's been messing about
with it himself for weeks.
391
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:20,233
Then, suddenly at 4:00
in the morning,
he decides to call us in.
392
00:25:20,366 --> 00:25:21,866
I'm afraid I can't see
the connection.
393
00:25:21,933 --> 00:25:23,533
I haven't been near
the Whiteleys for weeks.
394
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,900
But you were there last.
That's when the damage
was done, wasn't it?
395
00:25:26,966 --> 00:25:28,466
When I pointed out
what time it was,
396
00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:30,733
he came back at me
by saying that you said
397
00:25:31,033 --> 00:25:34,500
we would turn out
at any time of the day
or night.
398
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:37,000
I understood that that was
our policy, Siegfried.
399
00:25:37,066 --> 00:25:40,566
All I'm saying, James, is that
you're spoiling these chaps.
400
00:25:40,633 --> 00:25:44,266
If I didn't turn out, I'd be
worried sick in case
the animal died on me.
401
00:25:44,500 --> 00:25:45,966
Well, it did die, my dear boy.
402
00:25:46,033 --> 00:25:47,800
Perhaps they'll call us
in a little bit earlier.
403
00:25:47,866 --> 00:25:51,133
There's nothing like
a dead animal for bringing
people to their senses.
404
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,800
I'll try and remember
that, Siegfried.
405
00:25:52,866 --> 00:25:53,866
SIEGFRIED: Hi, Mrs Hall.
406
00:25:54,933 --> 00:25:56,900
-For me?
-It's got your name on it.
407
00:25:56,966 --> 00:25:58,566
It's not your birthday,
is it, lad?
408
00:25:58,633 --> 00:26:00,733
Not that I'm aware of, no.
409
00:26:05,566 --> 00:26:06,866
Oh-ho!
410
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,566
-Stilton. My very favourite.
-Ah.
411
00:26:11,366 --> 00:26:14,233
A certain good lady
of this parish was on
the telephone yesterday,
412
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:16,600
inquiring after your
gastronomic inclinations.
413
00:26:16,666 --> 00:26:19,533
-Oh?
-She said her dog
wanted to know.
414
00:26:23,366 --> 00:26:27,000
MRS PUMPHREY:
"Dear Uncle Herriot, just
a small token of appreciation
415
00:26:27,066 --> 00:26:28,966
"for services rendered.

"Yours affectionately,
Tricki-woo.
417
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,233
"PS. I've told Bonzo
Fotheringham what gentle
hands you have
418
00:26:36,866 --> 00:26:40,500
"and he says that if
ever he's afflicted
by Flop Bot himself,
419
00:26:40,933 --> 00:26:42,566
"he'll certainly be in touch."
420
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,300
-Now, isn't that sweet?
-Do you mind?
421
00:26:45,733 --> 00:26:47,400

00:26:52,333 --> 00:26:56,300
Hello, Mr Herriot!
Darling, it's Uncle Herriot
on the phone.

JAMES: I just wanted to saythank you very much
for the Stilton.

00:26:59,133 --> 00:27:02,266
Oh, how nice. Just hold on
and I'll get him.
427
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:05,000
Hello?
428
00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:07,233
Hello?
429
00:27:07,300 --> 00:27:09,266
Here he is.
He's listening now.
430
00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:11,900
Who's listening, Mrs Pumphrey?
431
00:27:11,966 --> 00:27:16,066
Tricki-woo, of course!
I thought you said you wanted
to thank him for the cheese.
432
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:17,700
Well, yes, I did.
433
00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:20,400
Go on, then, Uncle Herriot.
Tricki's waiting.
434
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,733
Hello, Tricki.
Uncle Herriot here.
435
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,500
I just want to say
thank you very much
for the cheese.
436
00:27:29,566 --> 00:27:31,533
It was very sweet of you.
437
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,833
Well, I have to be going now.
Don't forget,
438
00:27:35,033 --> 00:27:38,500
less sweet biscuits
and more protein.
There's a good dog.
439
00:27:38,966 --> 00:27:40,033
Bye.
440
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,233

00:28:00,533 --> 00:28:02,000
-Mr Dean?
-Aye.
442
00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:06,300
You're the vet, are you?
443
00:28:06,366 --> 00:28:08,233
James Herriot, yes.
444
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:09,833
Come in, lad.
445
00:28:17,733 --> 00:28:19,100
Am I interrupting your dinner?
446
00:28:19,166 --> 00:28:21,100
Nae, I'd just finished.
447
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:23,500
Bit of a tip, I'm afraid.
448
00:28:23,566 --> 00:28:25,466
I'm on me own now, do you see.
449
00:28:26,466 --> 00:28:28,733
Since we put her
in the ground last year.
450
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:31,433
It can't be easy managing
on the pension these days.
451
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,500
Nae. It's the young'uns I feel
sorry for. The ones
with kids to bring up.
452
00:28:36,933 --> 00:28:38,400
This is the patient, is it?
453
00:28:38,466 --> 00:28:40,100
Aye. He's the one.
454
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:44,833
(WHISPERING) It's all right.
455
00:28:46,300 --> 00:28:47,366
He's getting on a bit,
isn't he?
456
00:28:47,433 --> 00:28:50,133
Oh, aye.
Nearly 14 now, you know.
457
00:28:50,866 --> 00:28:52,533
Wonderful dog for
his age, though.
458
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,333
Been galloping about
just like a pup
up to this last week.
459
00:28:57,333 --> 00:28:59,300
Never bit once in his life!
460
00:28:59,366 --> 00:29:01,200
Lets the kids do whatever
they want with him.
461
00:29:03,333 --> 00:29:05,433
He's all I've got left now,
is our Bob.
462
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,933
You will be able
to put him right,
won't you, Mr Herriot?
463
00:29:12,866 --> 00:29:14,133
Is he off his food at all?
464
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:17,033
Clean off. And that isn't him,
isn't that.
465
00:29:17,266 --> 00:29:18,633
Hmm.
466
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:21,933
There's some swelling
in the abdomen here.
467
00:29:23,133 --> 00:29:25,466
Let's just see if we can
turn him over, shall we?
468
00:29:26,433 --> 00:29:28,533
-Come on, old boy.
-It's all right, lad.
469
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,500
-Come on. Easy.
-That's it.
There's a good dog.
470
00:29:31,566 --> 00:29:33,800
He's going to make you better.
471
00:29:34,733 --> 00:29:36,600
You can put him right,
can't you?
472
00:29:38,233 --> 00:29:40,366
You see that swelling there,
Mr Dean?
473
00:29:40,900 --> 00:29:42,300
Aye.
474
00:29:42,366 --> 00:29:44,500
That's caused
by an internal growth.
475
00:29:46,033 --> 00:29:48,066
-Cancer?
-Yes.
476
00:29:48,633 --> 00:29:50,600
Is there owt you can do?
477
00:29:50,933 --> 00:29:52,900
I only wish there were.
478
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:55,633
He's going to die, then.
479
00:29:57,233 --> 00:30:00,033
We can't just leave him
to die, can we, Mr Dean?
480
00:30:01,833 --> 00:30:04,500
He's in distress now,
but it's going to
get a lot worse.
481
00:30:05,533 --> 00:30:09,500
What I mean is, wouldn't it be
kinder simply just to put him
to sleep?
482
00:30:09,566 --> 00:30:11,300
After all, he's had
a good, long innings.
483
00:30:17,700 --> 00:30:19,833
You've got the stuff you use
with you?
484
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Yes.
485
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,800
Then, will you do it now?
486
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,200
Please?
487
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:36,766
It is, um, quite painless,
you know, Mr Dean.
488
00:30:37,866 --> 00:30:39,900
It's just an overdose
of anaesthetic.
489
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,833
It's just like...
490
00:30:46,466 --> 00:30:48,100
It's just like going to sleep.
491
00:30:57,966 --> 00:30:59,600
Come on, old boy.
492
00:31:13,066 --> 00:31:14,433
Is that it?
493
00:31:14,966 --> 00:31:16,033
Yes.
494
00:31:17,033 --> 00:31:18,366
Thank you.
495
00:31:19,133 --> 00:31:20,800
What do I owe you?
496
00:31:20,866 --> 00:31:21,866

you're here?

I should think so.
He brought me.

-The weather.
-Oh.

00:33:16,633 --> 00:33:18,966
I shouldn't be surprised
if there wasn't a drought.

-Shouldn't you?
-No!

Not at all.

Sorry to keep you waiting,

I'm sure James has been
entertaining you.

It's been riveting.

Ah! Good.
530
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,733

with James. I wonder if you'd
wait for me in the car.

Oh, very well.

Ah, James, you're on call
this evening, aren't you?
534
00:33:49,333 --> 00:33:50,500
Yes.
535
00:33:50,566 --> 00:33:52,433
Yes, well, I shouldn't
be late.
536
00:33:52,533 --> 00:33:54,466
There was just one thing
that came up
while you were out.
537
00:33:54,533 --> 00:33:57,733
Old Sumner rang and
said he'd telephoned
the other night
538
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,733
said you refused to turn out
because it was the middle
of the night. Is that right?
539
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,966
Yes.
540
00:34:02,033 --> 00:34:03,800
It's not like you, that,
James.
541
00:34:03,866 --> 00:34:05,600
He's a good client.
I wouldn't want to lose him.
542
00:34:05,666 --> 00:34:07,400
Oh, it was only
a chronic mastitis.
543
00:34:07,866 --> 00:34:10,433
I thought it was
perfectly safe to leave it
until the following day.
544
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,133

Would that be
such a bad thing?

-What?
-Remember what you said?

"There's nothing like
a dead animal for bringing
them to their senses."

-Yes!

you know?

do her any good,
and then, quite suddenly,
646
00:38:43,500 --> 00:38:44,500
it struck me.
647

-Of course.

-Ah.
649
00:38:49,633 --> 00:38:52,600

-Yes.

by tonight.

half a pound of
Epsom salts in her bran mash.

-He said what?
-Half a pound of Epsom salts

no point getting into a state
about these things.

664
00:39:51,733 --> 00:39:54,866
-James, something terrible's
happened.
-You've been sacked?
665
00:39:55,533 --> 00:39:57,100
-No.
-You're trying to cheer me up.
666
00:39:57,166 --> 00:40:01,666
-It's not funny. I've lost it.
I can't find it anywhere.
-What?
667
00:40:02,066 --> 00:40:04,966
The receipt book. The one
I was listing the bills in
yesterday.
668
00:40:05,033 --> 00:40:07,466
Without it, I have no
blind idea who paid what
and who didn't.
669
00:40:07,533 --> 00:40:09,133
-It must be somewhere!
-No!
670
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,433
It's gone. I've been searching
for hours.
671
00:40:11,733 --> 00:40:12,733
Oh, dear.
672
00:40:13,233 --> 00:40:15,733
Look, it's no joke, James.
You know what this
means, don't you?
673
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,133
Yes! It means I'm not gonna
be the one to murder
you after all.
674
00:40:19,766 --> 00:40:21,133
Siegfried will do
the job for me.
675
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,600
It means all the people
who paid their bills
yesterday
676
00:40:23,666 --> 00:40:25,733
are going to get them again
next month.
677
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Then there'll be
hell to pay.
678
00:40:27,266 --> 00:40:29,566
I believe there is a job
going on the
Leewood Islands.
679
00:40:29,633 --> 00:40:31,133
At least help me look for it!
680
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,100
I'm afraid I can't.
I have an appointment
with Tricki-woo.
681
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:36,533
-It seems he's gone
crack-a-dog.
-Crack-a-dog?
682
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,966
-According to Mrs Pumphrey.
-What the hell's crack-a-dog?
683
00:40:39,033 --> 00:40:41,300
Do you know, I can't wait
to find out.
684
00:40:41,366 --> 00:40:43,466
Ah, that sounds
like Siegfried now.
685
00:40:43,833 --> 00:40:47,100
-(DOOR SLAMS)
-Break it to him gently,
eh, about the receipt book?
686
00:40:49,266 --> 00:40:50,800
Morning, Siegfried!
687
00:40:50,866 --> 00:40:53,533
Morning, James.
Hello, little brother.
688
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:57,000
-Now, then...
-Siegfried?
689
00:40:57,533 --> 00:40:59,200
-Yeah.
-You won't believe this,
690
00:40:59,266 --> 00:41:00,733
but the damnedest thing's
happened.
691
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:01,800
Oh?
692
00:41:32,266 --> 00:41:37,866
(MUMBLING) It should do
because... On the 24th,
there's something...
693
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:42,966
-Mean anything to you?
-No.
694
00:41:43,033 --> 00:41:45,000
-Would you like one?
-Hmm?
695
00:41:45,766 --> 00:41:47,500
Oh, yes. Thank you!
696
00:41:50,866 --> 00:41:52,300
BOTH: Tricki-woo?
697
00:41:52,366 --> 00:41:54,166
(LAUGHING) Yes!
698
00:41:54,333 --> 00:41:55,800
I hope you
remembered to thank him.
699
00:41:56,333 --> 00:41:57,800
Yes, I'll give
Mrs Pumphrey a ring.
700
00:41:59,366 --> 00:42:02,800
You know, my last assistant
did even better than you
out of that dog.
701
00:42:02,866 --> 00:42:04,800
-Oh?
-Oh, yes.
702
00:42:05,566 --> 00:42:09,066
I mean, boxes of kippers
for the post every time Tricki
went to the seaside.
703
00:42:09,133 --> 00:42:11,200
Hampers from Fortnum's
at Christmas.
704
00:42:13,900 --> 00:42:16,633
But then of course,
he was rather
better organised than you are.
705
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:17,833
Oh?
706
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:19,366
I mean, he'd...
707
00:42:19,433 --> 00:42:21,733
He'd never telephone to say
thank you.
708
00:42:21,966 --> 00:42:24,500
He used to write
to the dog personally.
709
00:42:25,066 --> 00:42:26,533
-Really?
-Yeah.
710
00:42:27,366 --> 00:42:29,966
Amazing, isn't it, the lengths
to which some people will go?
711
00:42:30,033 --> 00:42:32,000
Isn't it though?

(DOGS BARK)
713
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,866
-Are you all right?
-Shattered.
714
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,600
-Like I've been run over by
a steamroller.
-I'm not surprised.
715
00:42:46,833 --> 00:42:48,566
One of the hardest jobs
in country practice,
716
00:42:49,133 --> 00:42:51,000
putting a cow's calf
back into her.
717
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,200
Like trying to fill
a needle with a sausage.
718
00:42:53,266 --> 00:42:54,600
You can say that again.
719
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,233
You know, I'm sure this sort
of thing isn't good for me.
720
00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:01,466
-It's a great feeling,
somehow.
-What?
721
00:43:02,433 --> 00:43:05,566
That blissful moment when
the whole thing suddenly
slips back inside.
722
00:43:05,633 --> 00:43:07,033
You know you've
finally managed it.
723
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,066
I see nothing remotely
poetic in watching a
724
00:43:10,133 --> 00:43:12,600
cow's engorged
uterus disappearing.
725
00:43:12,933 --> 00:43:15,433
You know why he
sent me on this job with you
in the first place, don't you?
726
00:43:16,433 --> 00:43:19,066
Revenge for losing
that bloody receipt book.
727
00:43:19,166 --> 00:43:21,033
Oh, well.
It's all over now.
728
00:43:28,266 --> 00:43:29,833
(SHEEP BLEATING)
729
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Let's just hope it doesn't
come out again.
730
00:43:36,666 --> 00:43:38,500
Do you think there's
a chance it might?
731
00:43:38,566 --> 00:43:40,933
Oh, yes! Happens quite often.
732
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,833
-But I'm on duty
this afternoon. On my own!
-Oh, well.
733
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:52,000
We'll just have to keep
our fingers crossed
for you, won't we?
734
00:44:19,333 --> 00:44:20,933
-What's his name?
-Bob.
735
00:44:21,533 --> 00:44:22,533
Oh, I see.
736
00:44:23,733 --> 00:44:27,533
Well, when old Bob went,
I vowed I'd never
have another.
737
00:44:27,966 --> 00:44:32,766
But when they brought him
round to me... They couldn't
afford to keep him.
738
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,700
If I hadn't, I reckon we'd
have found him at the bottom
of river in a bag
739
00:44:36,766 --> 00:44:38,833
with a brick, just like
the rest of the litter.
740
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,600
-Well, I'm glad.
-(CHUCKLES)
741

-You're right fond of animals,
aren't you, Mr Herriot?
-It's my job.
742
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,666
Doesn't always follow.

-Thanks for the tea, Mr Dean.
-Thanks for calling to see me.
744

-Any time.
-Right.

-Oh, Mr Herriot?
-Hmm?
746
00:44:58,300 --> 00:45:00,066
Have you smoked
that cigar yet?
747
00:45:01,866 --> 00:45:03,033
Saving it.
748
00:45:03,100 --> 00:45:04,766

-It's all come out?
-Aye. It has.
761
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:03,333
Oh, no! Surely
it's not all come out?

SIEGFRIED: Good morning,
Mrs Pumphrey.
769
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,333
Tricki-woo asked me
to call here
to thank you for your letter.
770
00:46:41,033 --> 00:46:42,066
Oh, that?
771
00:46:42,133 --> 00:46:44,200
Not at all. Thank you
for the cigars.
772
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,466
Just one thing.
Next time you write to him...
773
00:46:47,533 --> 00:46:51,000
Well, you know
you addressed your letter
to "Mr Tricki"?
774
00:46:51,066 --> 00:46:55,633
-Yes?
-I'm afraid he does insist on
"Tricki-woo, Esquire."
775
00:46:56,333 --> 00:46:58,400
-Ah.
-At first he was terribly
affronted
776
00:46:58,466 --> 00:47:01,033
but when he found out it was
from Uncle Herriot,
777
00:47:01,100 --> 00:47:03,600
-he soon recovered
his temper.
-Oh, good.
778
00:47:03,666 --> 00:47:07,000
I can't think why
he should have
these little prejudices.
779
00:47:07,066 --> 00:47:10,600
Do you think
it's because
he's an only dog?
780

-Yes! I suppose
that could well be it, yes.
-Yes.
