0:00:13 > 0:00:16ANDY SHOUTS COMMANDS
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'Well, I'm not really a people person at all, like.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27'The only thing about a horse - if a horse misbehaves,
0:00:27 > 0:00:30'you can straighten him up. You can't do that with a human.'
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Come on, come on. Come on, Tom. Yup! Come on!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Yup!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39HE LAUGHS
0:01:04 > 0:01:05DOGS BARK
0:01:09 > 0:01:11MONITOR BEEPS
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I don't think anybody'd ever forget the first day it goes on.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You were...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48mesmerised wi it, like.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53HORN SOUNDS
0:02:13 > 0:02:18My challenge in life now is to teach the boys as much as I can.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Don't want any oul sadness, there's no point.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26That day will likely come at some stage,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but I'm not ready for it yet.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I would say his daddy taught him how to ride.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40But you watch Andy watching him jump, and just see Andy doing this...
0:02:40 > 0:02:41He kind of does it for you.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Watch, watch this.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Aye...
0:02:53 > 0:02:56That's a really good pony, there. I think.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Kick on, Bob!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You need to let her reins go, Bob!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Go on.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Push on, Bob! - Legs, Bob, both legs, come on!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21SHE CLICKS HER TONGUE
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Right, you move out the way, Andy.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I can't get out the way...!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Let her go.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Let her go.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Don't you turn around!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Take her down and on round back.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Right, go back round, Bob, and do it again.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41That's better.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Right, go over there, and go out over.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And come down around.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Caught me up.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52HE SHOUTS
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Push on, Bob!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05That's all right, huh?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Three years ago, that pony going up the field,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14that'd be worth five or six thousand.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Maybe more.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And now how much is it worth?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Maybe worth 1,500.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25It's not fair. It shouldn't be sold, that type of pony.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30Ireland's lost its really good ponies and its really good breeding.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32At the minute.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35And in ten years' time, all that, really -
0:04:35 > 0:04:39that's one of the best-bred Connemara ponies in Ireland,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42too, you know? That's all going to be gone, you know?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Keep up, Judith!
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Get it?- Yeah!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50How do you keep up with him?!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54I don't, I'm normally on a horse. And it's hard, then.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Back here!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- He's got some stamina.- Aye.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00But he'll be for nothing later on.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01But he enjoys this.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Maybe I'll have the dream I had as a youngster.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I had ponies and footered about, and...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I had to work hard, too, but I enjoyed every minute.
0:05:20 > 0:05:27Up on that mountain wi horses from when you were a nipper.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33£100,000 a year job, or to ride them horses, no contest.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34You know?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38I don't know whether my kids will appreciate it, or whether or not...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41And maybe I'm just still trying to relive my childhood, I don't know.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46But while I'm about, I'll try and keep on doing that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48You know?
0:06:09 > 0:06:1012.9.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- 12.9?- Yeah.- That's all right. - All right, Andrew?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Huh?- You've lost weight?
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Aye.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I showed him these lumps in my neck, and he thought it was nothing,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30but he would get me checked up.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32And I went private and got them looked at,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and it turned out to be a tumour.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38And they're into the back of my skull,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41at the base of my skull, in there, so, aye...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The shit hit the fan for a wee while, there, you know what I mean?!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So it did.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52He's got cancer in his liver and he's got cancer on his third vertebra.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Apparently, wherever he's got it on his neck,
0:06:56 > 0:07:01there's a strong chance that if he bangs his head or falls over
0:07:01 > 0:07:06or slips, he'll break his neck, in effect.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Oul son.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15If you think, "I'm going to die of cancer," you will die of cancer.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Now, now.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27And that is what has kept him going. The hunting, the way of life.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30And this...
0:07:31 > 0:07:35..desire to see the boys carry on, I suppose.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Is this your favourite horse, Andy? - Aye.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52He's not a bad 'un, anyway. You know what I mean?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You sell horses, you couldn't say - every one's favourite.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58But I suppose there's a certain amount of chance that he could be,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00for he's been the longest about the yard.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Joe, tell me about your dad.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07There's not a lot to tell, really.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10He's just been into horses all his life,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13and he likes hunting, and that's...
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and he likes racing.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17So, he used to ride in the races as well, like, but...
0:08:21 > 0:08:25He's just completely mad about horses, and that's just it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27What would you like to learn from him?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Just to be as good as him, really.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Should be really good.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41This horse is going to Armagh, this black horse.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44He doesn't need to be made a fool o'.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48But he needs a really good, sharp, blow out.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52When you're in a race, try and not cover any extra ground.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Run the inside as much as possible,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58keep yoursel out of danger, because when you're out hunting,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00and you're out racing, that wee bit of ground there
0:09:00 > 0:09:03from your shoulder blade to your head, that's your neck,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and you must always look after it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09So you must.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'd like him to ride point-to-point,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31for I hink he's got the talent for it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34And he'll never be any more than fucking nine stone,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37so he'll never hae any bother wi weight, nor damn all.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39He's going to be like his Granda Hamilton,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40- just to fly, like, you know?- Aye.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52If them pair's going to lovey-dove, they can go among the rocks
0:09:52 > 0:09:53somewhere oot the fucking road,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56instead of standing in the middle of the galloping bit.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58What's going to take place now?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I'll go back, I'm tired now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You were up the inside again, so you were.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Weren't ye?- Yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Mm-hm.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Slapping at him like you think you're riding a cow.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Hmm?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I didn't hit him twice!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33What did we talk about on the road down, Joe?
0:10:33 > 0:10:38The whole point of us coming here was skill in the horses.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41If you were having to hit them to get home, that gives me
0:10:41 > 0:10:42a false sense...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Unless that horse can win that being hung on,
0:10:45 > 0:10:46he's not ready to run.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49You know, if you get somebody that turns around and hits them
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and asks them to go up to them - waste of time.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02He was going grand, and it's just he's tried to skite on me,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04and then I hit him. I didn't hit, cos he couldn't go well,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I hit him cos he tried to skite across him.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Do you think he's very hard on you sometimes?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Riding to his standard's the hardest thing.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Coming in, Joe?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Everybody thinks their own's special, you know?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Everybody that's breeding horses dreams they're breeding
0:11:48 > 0:11:51a Gold Cup winner, a Cheltenham Gold Cup winner,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53and the National Hunt Badges, and...
0:11:56 > 0:11:59We're all dreamers, that's in the horse business.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Because if you let reality get into it, and sound thinking about it,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05you wudna hae fuck all to do with the horses at all, you wouldn't.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07You wouldn't be keeping them,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10because it doesn't go that way, you know?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm going through a hard time,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19because the chemo fucks up your temper and it makes it even worse,
0:12:19 > 0:12:20and I'm short enough as it is.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22And you just want everything to be perfect,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and everything's not perfect, and that's just the way it is.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I'm not able to do it myself, and... Aye.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50- He's 53 today?- Uh-huh.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51- 53.- What have you got him?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54We've got... We've got him a boxer puppy!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Do you really need any more animals? - No, not really.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I should have waited for those two boys,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04cos they'll flipping fanny around.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Go on ahead, Bob.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21You are the worst driver.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Joe!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Right, put the lid on it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31BOB GIGGLES
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It's not going to jump out or fly out, or ocht?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40No, no.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41What the f...?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Oh, my God.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Where did you get that?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Huh?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We've left that off.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58My oul friend.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Will you be my friend, friend?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Huh?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Them's the most wonderful dog I ever had, the boxer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07They're stupid bastards, but they're nice dogs.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I think there's a hell of a lot for Joe to do.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Um...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23as a cub, you know. I think there's a lot for him to do.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27But, you see, Andy - when Andy was about Joe's age,
0:14:27 > 0:14:32he ended up basically milking cows, a herd of cows,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35for a long time, on his own.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37So, Andy doesn't see anything unusual in it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41I think it's - sometimes I think it's a bit too much for Joe.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Come on. Good boy.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Come on.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Come on. SHE CLICKS HER TONGUE
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Come on.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Where's his feed bowl?
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I don't argue about the yard any more.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06Always used to argue about the yard, but now I just get on with it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Doesn't get done any quicker if you argue about it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19RICHARD OSMAN SPEAKS ON TV
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- So, the horse tomorrow is... - Knockans Bridge.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Yeah, Knockans Bridge.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32And his mother hasn't won a race yet, so she's not on the wall.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36They don't get on the wall until they win a race.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And who's the owner?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Oh, it's yours!- I'm the owner.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- I'm the owner of all these horses! - You're the owner!
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Then the prize money goes in my name!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49If there is any - which doesn't happen very often.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Two minutes, I need to go and find the colours.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57God knows where these are.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07He is quite nervous.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09He can't do any more, you know?
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's out of your hands, it's out of his control.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I don't think he finds that that easy.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Now, boy!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Whoa, laddie.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Oul son. Behave, now.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Behave! Behave! Behave. Don't kick Mummy.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29We're not expecting to win,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32we're expecting just to make half of this bastard, here,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- it'll probably be...! - LAUGHTER
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- I'd say he's probably the favourite, you know?- I hope you're right!
0:16:39 > 0:16:412-1 the field, 9-2 Knockans.
0:16:41 > 0:16:425-1 Knockans.
0:16:42 > 0:16:445-1 Knockans.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50It's just suck it and see, now, that's all we can do.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53TANNOY: ..Knockans Bridge with Liaison Dangereuse
0:16:53 > 0:16:55as they make their way now towards the third last.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59And on the outside, One Cool Clarkson goes to the third last in front.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03From on the inside as they go it, is Uavtocallimsumtin,
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Witheselegs.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08They're being followed by Neither Nor trying to get into it with Mistissio.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11They go in from Sea Bear, into the second lap.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14At centre, Mr Prestage. Down the hill they go, now.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19They've got one fence left to jump, and in front it's One Cool Clarkson,
0:17:19 > 0:17:23One Cool Clarkson has the advantage, Knockans Bridge in centre,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Neither Nor on Knockans Bridge...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's One Cool Clarkson in front...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Come on, Knockans Bridge!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33It's One Cool Clarkson...
0:17:33 > 0:17:38One Cool Clarkson is going to have a result.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Up to the line, it's going to be One Cool Clarkson.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Second Ballycanal Tom. Knockans Bridge is third, then.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Uavtocallimsumtin and Neither Nor...
0:17:47 > 0:17:48There we are!
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Well done!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Ahh! Ahh!
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- JUDITH: Hey, Andy... - Yeah?- That'll do.- That'll do!
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Fucking brilliant. Excuse my French.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Fucking good ride.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Did all right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06He did in the spaces.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Silly, really, you know. He hasn't won, but he's done really well.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Andy put so much time and effort into them,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24and it's so - and coming to Armagh is one of the...is one of the top
0:18:24 > 0:18:26point-to-points, you know, you won't get...
0:18:26 > 0:18:30There's plenty of horses have run in that race, the five-year-old -
0:18:30 > 0:18:34five and six-year-old geldings' maiden, gone on to run at Cheltenham.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, your ambition with point-to-point
0:18:37 > 0:18:41is to sell them on and see them do well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43And see them on Channel 4 one day.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Yes. Huh? Yes.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Your glasses on!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54There's still plenty of horses oot there yet.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Oh, there are horses, there are plenty o 'em, yet.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59For damn sure.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- RECORDED VOICE:- Breathe in.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Hold your breath.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Right, this is what they call a scout film, Andy.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Yes.- You know that first run when you're on a scanner
0:19:28 > 0:19:32and they run you through the first run, before they start doing the...?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's along the left on that side, there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Yes, that's where your diaphragm should be.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39The right side, it's shoved right up.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It's really getting to the stage of about half now.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Exactly, you're quite right,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47you're about half the volume on that side that you have on that side.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51And that's just due to the sheer size of the liver.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Um... This is the thing in the liver. - That's the growth?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yeah. A big cystic thing.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02So, I think we have to say, from all of that, that things have got worse.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And that we need to think of where we go from here.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Aye.- You've had so much chemotherapy - you haven't...
0:20:11 > 0:20:18Do you remember, in 2011, they gave you the chemo that had the bottle?
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- How would you feel about that? - I'll do whatever you think, Melanie.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I don't want to crawl about,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29and people taking you by the hand and carrying you about,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and shifting you about, I don't want to be a nuisance.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35You know?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38It's soul-destroying for the boys, too.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41You just go with a bang, that's that.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43So, aye.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49But the problem is, you know,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I know about half the people
0:20:51 > 0:20:54doesn't think there's anything wrong with me,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56because I fought it, arsed about,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00and don't realise how bad I am, you know?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Me da's not going to be there forever.
0:21:14 > 0:21:21I have to be able to do it all before he goes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28How does Bob feel about your dad?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32He's never remembered it to be anything but the cancer, like.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40That annoys me as well,
0:21:40 > 0:21:43he's never really got a chance to see Daddy before it was,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46before he did have cancer, and that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48What was he like before?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51He was still a bit cross, but he wasn't as bad,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and you could have a laugh with him.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56He was just more fun. Me, I enjoyed it a lot more.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03I sounds weird, like, even hearing the word "cancer",
0:22:03 > 0:22:09it just brings it back to Da, like, it just brings me back to Daddy.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Aye...
0:22:50 > 0:22:51So it is...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11You're more than good for coming down,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13you're more than good for coming down,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15don't feel you have to come over.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- No, I'll come over.- All right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Joe, which horse are you riding today?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22That black and white horse, me da's horse.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Have you been given a promotion? - Aye!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Is Andy not riding today?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30No, he's not feeling great today, so he's not going to bother.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33DOGS BARK
0:23:33 > 0:23:35No, he's not well.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36This last run of chemo -
0:23:36 > 0:23:40he always has a rough time after the steroids finish.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And hopefully he'll come back...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44And hopefully he'll come back into form,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46but he's having - he's getting it tight.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50To an extent, he's better getting up,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54because when he lies in bed he has too long...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Too much time to think about things.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Ho, ho!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12HORN SOUNDS
0:24:27 > 0:24:31When was the last time the Mid-Antrim Hunt caught a fox?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh, I don't know!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35That's a long...
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Don't often catch anything now, you know.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Not often.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44You know?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50That's a very tricky question, because...
0:24:51 > 0:24:55..for farmers, you want to let on you're doing good,
0:24:55 > 0:24:59and, for animal welfares, you want to let on you're not!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01HE LAUGHS
0:25:05 > 0:25:06How are they...?
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Don't talk.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Just...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22HE CALLS
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Hounds are away. Hounds away!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- What's happened?- Hounds is all up.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Come on, ahead, here.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Come on, ahead!
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Kick on!
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Keep going - keep going straight across.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Go on, kick on!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Come on, push on!
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- Fucking machine.- Huh? - Fucking machine.- Ah, yeah!
0:26:02 > 0:26:04HE CHUCKLES
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- Right, I'd better go on. - Right, run on.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- What did he call Liquorice? - A fucking machine.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That's some horse.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I think you'll have a tough job getting him back off Joe.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Ah!
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- I'll probably not need him back. - HE COUGHS
0:26:21 > 0:26:22HE LAUGHS
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Don't say that.- You know?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I try to keep up, and try to keep bouncing for the boys,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36but it's getting tougher.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I'll maybe go and still take the intravenous stuff.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I don't think I'll take any more tablets.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51I'd rather have six weeks half-decent health...
0:26:52 > 0:26:55..not lying about, fit for nothing, anyway.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Unless... Unless life has a quality...
0:27:00 > 0:27:03..life means nothing, like. Really and truly.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I don't want their last memories of me to be a real grumpy,
0:27:13 > 0:27:17miserable oul bastard that died in misery, like.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43He gets down, you know, and that's understandable, as well.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46But that hard. Cos it's hard...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48you don't know what to say.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52You know, I don't know what to say.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57We don't talk about it that much, to be honest.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But... DOOR OPENS
0:28:02 > 0:28:04..talk of the devil. DOG YAPS
0:28:04 > 0:28:07What are you doing in, you little shit?
0:28:07 > 0:28:08DOG YAPS
0:28:08 > 0:28:11That's a nice way to talk about my present to you, darling.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13HE CHUCKLES
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Look, he's so pleased to see you!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Yes, ha.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18He'd bite your feet and do anything...
0:28:18 > 0:28:19No, look, he's got a ball.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21He's got a ball.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27He's more pleased to see you - more pleased to see you,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29as an oul ball.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Very good...
0:28:42 > 0:28:45She's got more hair than I have!
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I would like two grand for her.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Joe says three.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Aye, Joe says three? Well, if we get three, all the better!
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Is this like the annual outing?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Yeah.- Yes, it's the annual outing, aye.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Them three there's the Northern Ireland equivalent
0:29:02 > 0:29:04of Last Of The Summer Wine.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07LAUGHTER
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Right, there, lads.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Not too bad.- All right.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20That's an ouler beast, there. Not a bad sort.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Now at 100. 100, now at 100, 100 bid.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26At 100... Are you with me?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28250, 250, 300, 300 I'm bid now,
0:29:28 > 0:29:293, bid 3.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31At 3...
0:29:31 > 0:29:34That surgeon says, he says, "You're a miracle man."
0:29:34 > 0:29:37He say, "I just do not know how..."
0:29:37 > 0:29:43He says, "The last time I told you I thought you'd be dead at Christmas."
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Aye.- And that's 26 months ago.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48What?
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Aye.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Good, strong, well-made coat, 100 bid. 100 bid, now at 100...
0:29:53 > 0:29:55300, 300 bid.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Sold at 300.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03There you are, Andrew.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06That's the way it's done.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Did you just buy that horse? - I bought that horse, like a fool.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Joe bought it! His fault, he's away, now.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Could be 17 ponies here, do you know what I mean?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19That's shocking. Oh!
0:30:19 > 0:30:23We have a hard problem, cos we're better buyers than we are sellers.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26What's Judith going to say?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Buy no more that we see, but. All right?
0:30:33 > 0:30:34She's coming up, now, on the...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Oh, aye.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Give me some idea - what, like, would 1,000, 1,500, 2,000?
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Give me some idea.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I need... If it was 1,000, I'd start talking.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52My friend, we'll go looking for it, and we'll come back and talk.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Excellent child's pony. What are we going to say here?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Who'd like start me?
0:30:57 > 0:31:022,000, I'm going to give you 2, 17, 16, 1,500.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05We've got 650, come on, ladies and gentlemen, at 650,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07bidding at 650, 650 bid.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10In at 750, all done, 750.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13This man was getting three grand for this, this is a foal,
0:31:13 > 0:31:14this is a well-bred foal.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Now, if it was today's prices we'd bought it, we could sell it.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20But it's not. You know what I mean?
0:31:20 > 0:31:26Well, now, folks, we won't be doing business now. Unsold, now, at 800.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Afraid not.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Disappointing, Sammy.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- You just couldn't take that money for that kind of quality pony.- No.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I got that foal, like.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47We're flying. Easy to load, easy to sell.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Good luck, all the best.- Thank you.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Bye-bye. Bye.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Andy, so we arrived this morning one horse to sell...- Uh-huh.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- And we're going home with...?- Two.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Buy one get one free.- Uh-huh.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05You couldn't get much closer than getting it free.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06How much did we pay for her?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Ah, you need to learn about horse dealing, son.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Lying in hospital's not good for Andy,
0:32:24 > 0:32:26cos he has too much time to think.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- What sort of form was he in last night?- He was all right.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29He wasn't great, you know.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33As he said, he'd rather be lying in bed at Kenbally,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35which is here, you know?
0:32:36 > 0:32:38How are you feeling?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44You had a hell of a bad night?
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Pain?
0:32:47 > 0:32:48Aye, she's not going to give you any chemo
0:32:48 > 0:32:51until she finds out what's causing the pain.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Mm.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57All right, pet lamb.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00All right, love you more. Bye, bye, bye.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04I think he's had a bit of a bad week - er, bad night.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- What was he saying?- Melanie's just in, his doctor's just in,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11but I think he's had a bad night with the pain.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Hopefully they'll be able to give him something to sort that out, Joe.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I'm sure they will.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I know I need to be here. I don't want to be home,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38the pain that I suffer through the night and stuff, there.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39I know I can't handle that at home.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43So I just have to be, till these people get me sorted again.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47And then I'll be back, like a bull at a gate wanting to go again.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48You know what I mean?
0:33:48 > 0:33:52And I'll drive them mad and I'll see plenty of things that they
0:33:52 > 0:33:55haven't done right, and I'll devour them...
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And if I'm carried down the road tomorrow,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00those fucking things go on, so...
0:34:00 > 0:34:03And they'll have to swing their own tail, you know?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08We started off with three sheep, and...
0:34:08 > 0:34:09we've knocked it up to about 70.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- 75, Bob.- 75.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20There - there's a lamb, there. Joe's caught it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22This wee lamb was born yesterday.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23So he was.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30He's a tip. So, he was born yesterday.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31SHEEP BLEATS
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Better set him down again, his mum's looking for him.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Baa!
0:34:39 > 0:34:40I wouldn't want to die tomorrow, but I can.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44I'm not scared. Not in the slightest.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49And only, I fear... If you want to believe in God, or want to...
0:34:49 > 0:34:54My belief is that - I thank Him, for... That it's me.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58It's not my wife. It's not the boys.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59It's me.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15JOE SINGS TO HIMSELF
0:35:58 > 0:36:03- That's Billy... - HE MUTTERS
0:36:03 > 0:36:06That's the pony, there, the first pony I ever got onto.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09It was a sharp little guy, you know?
0:36:09 > 0:36:10But a good pony.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- He loved to roll, like, you know? - He did?
0:36:12 > 0:36:17If you got into a field, you just - if you didn't happen to slap him
0:36:17 > 0:36:21and keep him up, he was down, and you were off.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Morning!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Mrs Maggie.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- How are you?- OK.- That's good.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52DOGS BARK
0:36:52 > 0:36:57I'd like to thank everybody for supporting us through the year,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00especially the pubs and the people that comes to watch.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02And it's probably the last time you'll see me out on a horse,
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I would think.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I have made it to the end of the season and that'll be it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Hip, hip... - ALL: Hooray!
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- Hip, hip... - Hooray!
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- All right, get up there! - Get up!- Come along.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Hello, you all right there?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Go up there! Into that hedge!
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Uh-huh.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Went in through that hedge, there.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Come on, come on!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Just a hard slap, there.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I mean, if I'm carried down the road in a year's time,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23and they say, "That's the end of the horses," that's fine with me.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27They have to do what they want to do themselves.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30If they're man enough to do that, they'll be grand.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31You know?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41They don't have to try to do me proud, or anything, like.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Just be...
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Don't get jailed, don't get fucking nailed for anything like that,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49and behave yourselves.
