[sheep bleating]

[birds chirping]

You two gonna lend a hand or what?

Oh, must've nodded off.

We had two call outs last night.

After a full day's lambing. Again.

[Richard] It's a poor do.

Lamlos con't stop conning just because you're wealry.

Come on. Let's be having you.

-Sorry. -It's good practice.

Sleepless nights.

Although, to get to the baby part,

We do halve to spene time together, conscious.

| know, and we will.

I'm actually cooking up a plan to make sure of it.

Ooh.

[serene music playing]

[sheep bleating]

He comes highly recommended.

Top scholar in his year by all accounts.

It's only a placement,

but we'll finally have a new assistant.

-Perfect. -Isn't it?

Hmm. You'll have all your work, plus nights,

plus teaching this student what's what.

[Richard] Aye.

Yeah, but once I've trained him up

I'll have someone to delegate to.

Which means more time for Helen and I.

Til Slegtiried! lin PACKING aner five minutes.

Yeah. Like he always does.

But he won't be Siegfried's assistant.

He'll be mine.

Oh, your own little James to boss around.

[James] Exactly, and that's the difference.

Although | see myself as more of a mentor.

[Richard] A what?

A guide.

Oh, aye.

[whimsical music playing]

[bell tolling]

No signs!

[Siegfried] Herriot!

Yes?

Mrs Hall's making Tristan's bed up.

Says we're expecting someone.

Because we are expecting someone.

The student we agreed to host?

Well, he's not having Tristan's room.

He isn't?

You didn't say not to offer board.

[Siegfried] | didn't think | needed to.

rll have a ring rouncl, see iif | can find somewhere.

Where is the boy anyway? Is he late?

-| don't believe so. -If he had anything about him,

he'd be early.

Mr Carmody's rather beholden to the train from London.

That's his name, is it?

-Richard Carmody, yes. -Richard Carmody. From London.

He won't last.

Right, I'm going to the Chapmans to see Teasel.

[doorbell ringing]

Oh, Uncle Herriot, thank goodness!

It's the most dire emergency.

Cedric is my new foster.

His Daddy's away with the army.

| don't wish to embarrass him,

Out, erin, it's something of an antitsocial mealacly.

Not showing signs of aggression, is he?

Oh, no, no, no, no, on the contrary,

he's as gentle as they come.

Aren't you? [chuckles]

A tad excitable though, which does tend

to exacerbate things.

Ane winatt things are we talking about exacthy?

He suffers from an excess, of...

-Of? -[doorbell ringing]

Mind if | get that?

[door opens]

-Hello, hope I'm in the right-- -Mr Carmody?

-Yes. -I'm afraid | got somewhat

-lost-- -James Herriot, come in.

Come in, come in!

Right here.

Right this way.

Mirs Pumpnrey, I'd like you to meet Richare Carnnochy,

our brilliant new veterinary student.

Delighted to make your acquaintance.

How do you do?

Well, this is all proving rather cosy, isn't it?

Mrs Pumphrey was just about to tell me

-what's ailing Cedric here. -Yes.

Now, | know it's not his fault.

it's perfectly natural, lout Ne closes seem to sutier

really quite terribly from...

From?

From...

[farts]

Flatulence.

[serene music playing]

-[Teasel wheezes] -Shh, shh, all right, Teasel.

That's a wineeze cerialnlly, Kloes iit worsen with exercise?

Been giving her all the rest | can,

but | can't afford not to work her.

It's heaves, I'm afraid.

Thought so, you can see she's having trouble.

It's taking twice the effort to breathe.

The air goes in, but the lungs have lost elasticity

ene's forced to use her aloclominal muscles

to push it back out again.

What's brought it on?

A sensitivity to mould or dust usually.

Soaking tine hay lpefore she can help.

I'll give her arsenical expectorant

for her drinking water.

That should ease things.

But will it cure her?

Well--

It's just she's Tom's, is Teasel.

| Know he's always been very fond of her.

I'd hate for my grandson to come back home and...

you know.

He's away with the army.

She's young and strong,

| can't see why she wouldn't recover.

I'll do my damnedest to help in any case.

Thanks.

[Anne] We keep telling her take another lac! on.

Won't listen.

Too much like replacing Tom she reckons.

She's done well to cope on her own.

There's work here for three at least.

Doesn't help with that lot training next door.

We're grateful to them, but it's not easy.

More to come I'm afraid.

Things are about to get a great deal more difficult

by all accounts.

Mrs Pumphrey, you said it was an emergency.

It is.

My community tea party's just around the corner.

The aim is to raise everyone's spirits,

not bombard them with noxious gas.

Perhaps one could keep the dog outside?

Banish him from the bosom of his foster family?

| couldn't countenance such cruelty.

Do you allways treat your aninalls like people?

[Tricki snarls]

Yes, Tricki, | quite agree. He's not like Uncle Herriot.

| suggest we reduce Cedric's protein intake,

and try him on an antacid.

Should clear things up in no time.

Oh, how marvellous.

That's so kind of you, Uncle Herriot,

we're very grateful.

Aine! to youl too, | suppose, Mr Carclomy.

| thought we'd never discover the trouble.

Yes, she's not one to be candid about delicate matters.

The animals are the easy part, of course.

It's the people who cause all the bother.

ANn, tals is Mirs lrlalll, our housekeeper extraordinaire.

Hello. Richard Carmody.

How do you do. Make yourself at home.

You're very welcome.

If you'd be kind enough to show me

where to put my things, | shall get myself settled in.

Mrs Micklethwaite has a room for you.

Very clean, very particular, just across tine square.

There @ imisuncerstancling, wit Mr Famon—=

Who's just got back.

After you.

Mr Carmody, | presume?

You presume right.

-Final year, RVC? -Yes.

Specialising in equine science.

Standards must be slipping.

-|'m not sure | understand. -You were late.

| was not.

| arrived (in Darrowoy an hour ahead of schedule,

only to discover the street signs

nal loeen rennovec! to discourage enemy invaciers.

It took a little extra time to locate Skeldale House,

through no taulkt of my own, andl yet | arrived at 3:00 sharp,

as arranged with Mr Herriot.

| stand corrected.

Farnon, Siegfried, don't ask.

It's a pleasure, sir.

Cup of tea?

Siegfried barked, but didn't bite.

All went rather well.

So far so good.

-Carmody? -[Carmody] Hello again.

And this must be Mrs Herriot, how do you do?

How do you do?

Thought | should familiarise myself

with the animals in for observation.

Oh, we can do that together, tomorrow.

[Siegfried] | don't mind showing him now.

-[James] No need. -You sure?

Quite sure. I'll catch you up.

It's his first night.

Ane! || ann Supposed tto his mentor. Should only take an hour or so.

Tell you what, shall we just stay in?

I'm dead on me feet anyway.

We can make up for it on Saturday?

Saturday's Mrs Pumphrey's tea party.

Not if we make our excuses?

| could send my assistant instead.

-Oh! -See, has it's perks.

And everyone will be out.

Well, when you put it that way.

Be worth it once he learns, | promise.

Let's hope he's a quick learner.

[Audrey] It's only been a few days,

lout It's hIGe to have another lac! about the place.

But he'll take some getting to know | think.

Do you reckon he'll stick?

He seems very confident.

[barks]

-Young. -[laughs]

We'll see.

Well, I'm looking forward to meeting him

-at Mrs Pumphrey's do. -Yes.

But, erm...

before we go, I...

| wanted to... [Sighs]

What?

Never mind. It'll Keep.

All right. 'Til later then.

See you at the manor.

Or, you could try saying it?

Wiattever's loeen Sating alwely ait you.

You can tell?

‘Course | can.

| Know you, Audrey.

If you're giving me the elbow, I'd rather have it straight.

-I'm not giving you the elbow. -No?

No.

Absolutely.

Yes.

| thought perhaps we could get to grips

-with the dispensary later. -[Siegfried] Oh.

I've just offered to take him to Chapman's.

I'm following up with Teasel. Heaves.

Also known as pulmonary emphysema.

Sounds like an interesting case.

Weill start tinere then. No to trouble yourself.

I'm afraid you're due at Pumphrey Manor.

Cedric's flatulence hasn't abated.

Ventos regere non possum.

Sed vela aptare possum.

-One can't control the wind. -The wind.

-Very good. -[laughs]

[laughter]

-[sighs] -[kettle whistling]

[lively music playing]

[clears throat]

[birds chirping]

| did everything you said, to the letter.

How does that sound?

Encouraging.

It worked? Wetting her hay and that?

Recueing her exposure to allergens decreased

the chronic inflammation of the lungs.

That means she's on the mend.

Tom'll be pleased to hear that, won't he?

He will. Thanks, Mr Farnon. It means the world.

Close the damn gate!

Sorry!

Keep your hair on, fella.

What about you?

you see yourselir joining their illustrious ranks?

Never, if | have anything to do with it.

Really?

Our new PM believes suffering lies ahead.

-Ugh! -[dog snoring]

-Oh, Cedric! -[barks]

Ooh. Cedric!

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry, Uncle Herriot.

Oh, Inn atiraicl he’s proving to be something of a hanelful.

Tricki and | haven't slept a wink

because of his bounding and whining.

| Ihave never known 2 clog and clingy.

Yes, listen, I'm talking about you!

And how about his wind?

The frequency has reduced a little,

however the magnitude has not.

I've decided to move my party alfresco,

to be on the safe side.

And his diet?

Suitably meagre as instructed.

Well?

He's the picture of health.

I'm not quite sure what else to suggest.

Where was he just now?

Out for his daily walk with Francois.

Once might not be enough.

He's not the lapdog you're used to.

Increasing lhis exercise sinoule calm hin clown & loft,

You'll be coming of course?

[Helen] | thought you were gonna send Carmody?

[Janes] | arn, out sine wouldnt let me off the hook.

Mrs Pumphrey's like a boa constrictor.

The more you struggle, the tighter the grip.

Should ask her for some tips.

Before you say it.

-Not another plan. -It's a good one.

James, if we can't have any time together,

I'd rather stop here.

Get my never-ending list of jobs done.

Listen, listen.

We go to the party, do a quick circuit.

As soon as the coast is clear,

we sneak off without saying goodbye.

Enjoy the whole afternoon at home, alone.

All right. But I'll be holding you to that.

| certainly hope so.

Glad to hear it.

Oh, that's all right.

I've been through them all with Mr Farnon.

Do you drive, Carmody?

‘Never got arouinel to It. -Wei'll have to see aloout that,

Will we?

Can't see us having the time to teach him.

An impressive chap like Cannody? Duck to water,

his studies to return to,

and no doubt he intends to join up--

That's just it. He doesn't.

He means to serve as a vet. At home.

You know, | nasity winen || saiicl he wouldnt last,

| think he suits us very well indeed.

Excellent work finding him James, truly.

[lively music playing]

Last one to the manor's a rotten egg!

[car engine revving]

How did | become Tristan?

Don't talk daft.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Teasel neighing]

[indistinct chatter]

[children laughing]

Oh, there's Gerald. Excuse me a minute.

Come on.

Sooner we've shown our faces, Sooner we can go, remember?

[trumpets playing]

[woman] Thanks very much.

Ane co your parents live in London, Mr Cannocy?

Occasionally. They're mostly abroad.

Can't bear to be in one place for long.

So you're well-travelled too?

Only as far as boareling school ane! college.

Well, if it isn't Cedric.

| should check on how he's bearing up.

Don't forget your gas mask lad.

Audrey keeps me aloreast of alll your goings on.

| expect our goings on are more eventful

than your average day at the bank.

You'd be surprised.

Really?

Might go and see about some cake.

Hello there, boy.

Still knocking everyone for six, is he?

His odour makes me long to return to France.

France has just been invaded old chap.

Exactement.

Gosh.

Well, what's Mr Herriot treating him with?

Walking.

Just walking?

Lots of walking.

[Carmody] Hmm. | wonder what good that'll do.

Plenty for his behaviour, actually.

-Interesting. -[barks]

And what about his digestion?

There's nothing wrong with his digestion.

But wouldn't lis persistent gas SUGGESIOMMEMMISELg

[Gerald] ...that's when we realised.

It wasn't Lacy Miiclelletnoras emptying her account,

it was her butler.

-PUr Goalt, Wig), loole! as lorass. “Never! The lutiler did it?

The butler did it, only he didn't,

‘cos three of us grabbed him before he could leg it.

[both laughing]

Oh, that tale tickles Audrey.

Well, | hope you tell it often.

It's been a difficult time for her.

Oh?

-Well you Know about, erm-- -Oh, her situation, yes.

But she made the right decision, | reckon.

Oh, undoubtedly, yes.

I've seen the weight lift off her shoulders

with every passing week.

Perhaps it's time we sought out

something a little stronger than tea?

Um, excuse me, Mr Farnon.

| should see where Audrey got to.

Righto.

You!

The lady said we could help us selves.

We've met.

Large animals and roads do not mix.

Which is why we have gates.

Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir.

Where are you from?

Hulme. Manchester.

So a fish out of water then?

Don't many teles as a plumbers apprentice, Sir.

Well, youre welcome lnere, Of course, YOu are.

But you must tine waly we clo things.

| trust you'll spread the word on that?

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct]

No sign of infection? Or parasites?

No. Which ts way lin certain it's a behavioural prolblenn.

My diagnosis is not a matter for debate.

What are we debating?

Something that'll wait?

[Carmody] Mr Herriot thinks Cedric's flatulence

is all in his head.

| suspect it's more gut related.

What do you think?

Well, considering who he lives with,

I'd say it's his gut.

Then you'd be wrong.

He's in a new place, with a new owner.

: a el ee ~ — pecause he’s anxious.

-Anxiety can lead to gas. -As can rich food.

Speaking of food, Inn tamished. Why con't we leave then tto it?

Cedric's on a strict diet.

Strict has always been an elastic concept

to Mrs Pumphrey.

-James-- -Just a minute.

She has form for spoiling her pets, but--

You sail yourselii loouine to be overindulging Cediric.

Look, | Know you're trying to impress,

loutt t's if you deter to my experience on this.

perience tells me you malgint oe in the doghouse, James.

[barks]

Look, I've been rushed off me feet too.

-I'm just as tired as you are. -| Know. | Know.

| haven't got time to stand around listening

-to some petty argument. -| really am sorry.

We'll go now, like we planned.

No thanks. I've gone off the idea.

-Helen-- -I'll make my own way home.

You cain argue aloout tlatulencs to your heart's content.

I'm going.

[tender music playing]

-[whimpers] -[James] Stay there, boy.

I'll be back.

There you are!

All this meakkes my garden look like a postage stamp.

I'm sure it's still lovely.

| should like to show it to you.

Did you and Mr Farnon get along all right?

Very well.

You came up a bit.

More interesting things to talk about than me surely?

You know, l= | uncerstane! why you didnt come to me first.

About what?

What you told me earlier.

‘Sounded like Mr Farnon known eloout iit for some time.

Well, | didn't go to him,

it-- it were more he happened upon me, uh...

filling in the forms and such.

Weeks ago?

| Suppose so, yes.

But, | didn't want to bother you with something

that might not be granted.

| wasn't ready to tell anyone.

Although, | did sort of end up mentioning it to Helen.

And, | can't be sure,

but | expect she might've told James.

[Mrs Hall clears throat]

Uncle Herriot.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'm enjoying the party. Very much.

Hmm.

| couldn't help noticing Mrs Herriot

making herself scarce.

My fault.

Here.

Drink up.

Gin?

One can't get through these things

-without a little pick-me-up. -Thank you.

Now. What exactly did you do?

Lost sight of my priorities.

Sonne nowannace feel second loest tto Cedric.

Cedric? [scoffs]

She left. She's gone home.

Thought I'd give her a chance to cool off.

Oh, no, no, no. You'll do no such thing.

Cedric should be the least of your worries.

You must follow her.

At once!

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm sure.

You needed an ear. They provided it.

I'm glad they were able to.

Thing is, with Robert. He'd stew.

Say summer ine winen it wasn't,

-So if I've upset you-- -You haven't.

‘Course you haven't.

I'm nothing like him, Audrey.

Oh, gosh, | know, but--

You'd rather have it straight, same as me.

| would.

All right.

| do wish you'd told me first.

But only because I'd like you to Know,

that you can come to me.

-[tender music playing] -About anything.

Because | never want you to feel

the way you did witin your husband, ever again.

Alone, or afraid.

Thank you.

Not that I'm getting any ideas or anything.

But you aren't on your own anymore.

You've got my ear too now.

If you want it.

| do.

Right then.

Is it time for tea?

Not just yet.

[serene music playing]

[Teasel neighing]

Easy.

That's it.

[Siegfried] Come on. We to act quickly.

We'll never get it out whilst she's still attached.

Looks broken, it shouldn't be too hard to separate.

-Bone saw? -Good idea.

No, no! Keep the pressure on.

Oh. Sorry! Erm, how about a sedative?

-[Siegfried] Think, Carmody. -[Teasel grunting]

Pulmonary emphysema?

He's why I'm here actually.

tS Rot Cedric’s satting. t's who he were chasing.

Soldiers.

He were excited to see 'em.

Makes sense. His daddy's a soldier.

When he dropped him off,

did he leave any toys or blankets?

A smnalll tew, lout they were unsanitary.

Did you keep 'em?

Francois? Francois!

[tender music playing]

Almost there, brace yourselves.

This'll hurt her.

On my count, one, two, three--

-That's it, good girl. -[sighs]

No worse than you'd expect.

Lucky girl.

Right, let's flush it for splinters.

Give her a tetanus anti toxin. Close her up sharpoish.

Yup, all of that.

Run up to the cottage. Find Mrs Chapman.

James and | can do the rest.

Hmm! Goodness knows when that'll be.

Think they all ran off on some emergency.

Heavens, he's dedicated.

He is.

You'd rather see more of him?

We've got all these plans.

| don't know if we'll achieve any of them before...

you know.

He might have to leave.

When | point it out to him,

he acts like we've got all the time in the world.

-It's... -Infuriating?

Mmm.

My husband Charles was infuriating.

Winen we loouginit tiiis house, Ine bursting with plans.

The first was to fill the place with dogs.

-[chuckles] -Utter chaos.

He was an animal lover too?

Pottier than me. He had quite a menagerie.

He bought me my first Pekinese.

Tricki's great-great-grandmother.

Ah! That's lovely.

That's why he's so dear to me.

Charles died young.

Very suddenly.

I'm so sorry.

| was left here with a lot of dogs.

And grand ideas.

Your instinct is absolutely right.

Time is precious.

But forgive quickly, dear girl.

Especially now.

[serene music playing]

[Slegiriedl] You to keep € Glose eye on wounel.

But if it heals properly, and there's no nerve damage,

| can't see any reason

why she shouldn't make a full recovery.

[laughs]

| can't tell you how thankful | am, Mr Farnon.

And how sorry.

-For what? -[sighs]

Gate needed fixing.

And with Tom away

I've not been facing up to things.

Teasel's born the brunt of it.

I'm sure that's not the case.

But | do know how hard it can be,

to ask for help.

Don't want help. | want my son.

Back home and safe.

How are we supposed to just...

Carry on without them?

Haven't a damn clue.

We talke comtiort ig we do have, | suppose.

-There's also whiskey. -[chuckles]

You're such an idiot.

You cain inave [nln as your assistant if you like.

two Of US, working together as 2 tea,

made today a success.

A little lively cleloatte with Carmody is no substitute

jor your skill ancl experience. | know. | see that now.

I've been a bit selfish.

The fact is, if | am called up,

| won't be here for the next Teasel.

And neither will Triss.

And | will need help.

Which is way you welcomed! Carmody with open ans.

-After a fashion. -It's very galling.

-you thrust yourself upon me. -[chuckles]

So, this is where you all slunked off to.

Hello.

There was an emergency first.

And now we're slinking off home.

Excuse us.

Mrs Hall, there's a slight chance

| put my foot in it with Gerald.

Yes.

You did, but you didn't.

All turned out rather nicely.

Well, I'm relieved to hear it.

We might try and catch the pictures.

Hang on, let me check something.

Mr Farnon, | was hoping we could go over

the finer points of today's procedure?

Of course!

| trust it was educational?

I'll say.

Although, | couldn't help noticing

you didn't use tissue forceps.

I've loeen taugint that's the proper wely,

more precise, and sterile.

-Proper? -Yes, perhaps the Babcock,

or Allis forceps would've helped.

Balocock ancl Allis are only found iin ttextloooks.

No vet carries them.

[whimsical music playing]

It was just a thought.

Carmody, clo you want to complete this placenent?

Very much so, yes.

Then may | suggest you try keeping

some of your thoughts to yourself.

Unless you tinoug)ht of buying me anotner drink of Course.

-Same again? -That's more like it.

Might not be as alone as we think.

Don't tell me we're expecting someone?

Sort of.

I'm fairly certain it won't be just the two of us.

More like three.

Three?

You know, I've been tired all the time.

We might be getting our little James

a bit sooner than expected.
