0:02:21 > 0:02:24Pity the Pottage twins can't join.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Are Katie and Tom poorly, then?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30They've both got a nasty bout of chicken pox.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17I could hear your choir in the village, Mr Pringle.
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Thanks, Pat. They've all been working very hard learning a song.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Ah! Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle!
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Lucy's covered in spots!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Ah! Spots!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Oh! Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle! So is Bill Thompson.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Oh!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It looks like a case of black river fever to me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Ah! Oh!
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- It's not black river fever, Sarah. - It's probably chicken pox.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Dr Gilbertson told me Tom and Katie Pottage have got it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Chicken pox is highly contagious.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- I think I should send the children home immediately.- HURRAH!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'll phone your parents right away.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03HURRAH!
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Morning, Mrs Goggins.- Morning, Pat.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Oh, you haven't caught chicken pox.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- It's all over the village.- Really?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Oh, aye. The poor vicar's got it and Jeff and Charlie Pringle.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And so has little Lucy Selby.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Yes. Julian's come down with it.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35He was miserable when I left today.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38He said his spots were itchy.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Oh! That reminds me.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Ajay's just phoned to say calamine lotion has arrived from Pencaster.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Could you pick it up and drop it off at Dr Gilbertson's please?
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Certainly, Mrs Goggins, it's very good for itchy spots.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Everybody in Greendale will be wanting a bottle.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Come on, Jess. Looks like we've got lots to do today.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Meow!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Oh! There you go, Pat.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- That'll be the last of the calamine lotion.- Thanks, Ajay.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Could you let Dr Gilbertson know Meera's got chicken pox?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Are her spots itchy too?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Yes. And she's got a bad cold.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Tell her we said, "Get well soon!" - Meow!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- I will. Bye, Pat.- Meow!

0:05:53 > 0:05:58Morning, Pat. Yes, she woke up this morning covered in spots.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Poor you.- Meow!
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- The calamine lotion you ordered, Dr Gilbertson.- Oh, thanks. Pat.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11I should deliver them right away but I need to keep an eye on Sarah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Do you mind dropping them off? - No problem, doctor.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Ah, the vicar will need a bottle, and Jeff Pringle and Charlie.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25- Oh, and Bill Thompson too.- And Meera. Ajay says she's very itchy.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh, dear. She'd better have one.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Could you also take a packet of salt to the vicar for me?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35No problem. He's my next call.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Why does the vicar want salt? - To gargle with.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Gargle? With salt?
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Mix it with water. It's for sore throats.- Can you gargle, Sarah?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'm a brilliant gargler.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52SHE SLURPS AND GARGLES
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Goodness me!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01But you have to be careful not to swallow it or you'll be sick.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05That's enough, Sarah. ..Thanks, Pat.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Tell everybody to rub calamine onto their spots
0:07:08 > 0:07:12and gargle with salt water if they've got a sore throat.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17I'll be sure to pass on your good advice, Dr Sarah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27There's the vicar's letter and the parcel
0:07:27 > 0:07:31and a bottle of calamine lotion from the doctor.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Meow!- What is it, Jess?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Meow!- Ah! The salt!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Clever lad.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07I've got to call in and see Jeff and Charlie Pringle.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- They're poorly too.- Oh, Pat...
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- would you give them something from me?- Certainly, Reverend.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21A gardening magazine for Jeff and a comic to cheer up little Charlie.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh, and I've a message from Sarah Gilbertson -
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- "Don't forget to gargle." - I won't, Pat.
