0:00:02 > 0:00:03Do you know the way to the veterinary college?
0:00:03 > 0:00:05This is my first day.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I've got a James Herriot for you, Professor Legge.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12You've made quite an impression on your first morning.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You've met Professor Gunnell.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Since you have been so kind to grace us with your presence.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22I understand you've also made the acquaintance of Professor Richie.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25And who are you to lecture me about horses?
0:00:25 > 0:00:29The name's Whirly. The idiot's called McAloon. I just ignore him.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Auntie. This is James Herriot.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35We thought he could stay here.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38I'd like to say I don't bite.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40But often I do.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Rrar.- Oh.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Hello, there, did you see where the delivery cart went?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49- Hello, I'm Jenny Muirhead. - You've made an enemy of me.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Don't count on qualifying as a vet from this college.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58I came here to cure sick animals, not to kill them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I hope you continue to impress, Mr Herriot.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04We're going to be pals. Good friends.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Would you.... Careful!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49- Hello, Phoebe.- Oh, morning, James. Morning, Cleo.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55- I've brought Whirly's bridesmaid's dress.- You'd best come in then.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Everything OK?
0:02:09 > 0:02:15- Just wedding nerves. - James. Oh, how delightful.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17You've found a friend on your walk.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I told you walking Cleo wouldn't be a hardship.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Here's mama.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32This way.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37You must be excited about the big day.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Phoebe. Getting married can't be that bad.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51It's just so dreadful at the farm right now, Whirly.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- Yesterday, two cows slipped their calves.- Two on the same day?
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Desmond took control of everything. He knew exactly what to do.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05But nothing he does is good enough for my father.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Come on, let's got upstairs,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10you can help me get into my bridesmaid's dress.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- Two, that's favouritism. - Indeed it is, Mr McAloon.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20This young man needs building up.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25(I think the two of you are a match made in heaven.)
0:03:27 > 0:03:30WHIRLY: Prepare yourselves.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You look delightful, darling.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37In your own special way.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43You do, Whirly.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Do take that monstrosity off, old girl.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48I prefer you in your usual boys' clothes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Darling.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53The dress is lovely, Phoebe.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56McAloon's just saying that to annoy Whirly.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It's his favourite hobby.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06This is an utterly fine model.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You really needn't be embarrassed about Mrs Munro.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- She's a very attractive woman. - What's this I hear?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Whirly's Aunt Elspeth has her eyes set on young James, here.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Positively smitten.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47(Whirly. Whirly!)
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Miss Tyson.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I have a special task for you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56A cancer-ridden sow is being delivered today.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I want you to remove the tumours and dissect them.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I'm expecting the delivery any minute now in the courtyard. So...
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Thank you, Professor Gunnell.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28Gentlemen. Professor Richie has an important announcement to make.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You'll all be aware of Mr Stokes. No finer vet in this country.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34However, recently, he's been incapcitated with gout
0:05:34 > 0:05:37and he's asked us to look after his patients.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39This is a unique opportunity.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It will help bring much needed funds to the college.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And may well be the start of a regular service in the area.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50You will be doing the rounds in pairs. So, get yourself a partner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Preferably one you can trust.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58If you do a good job, you will gain valuable experience
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and a share of the fees.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Proctor and Faraday, you have a heifer with mastitis.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Muirhead and Skinner, a sow with dropsy.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11And we've a case of bovine farcy.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Ah, Campbell and Fraser, very good.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16McAloon and Herriot,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20you have a sheep which has had an altercation with a bicycle.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21ALL LAUGH
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Just our luck.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Whereabouts is this sheep, Professor Richie?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's the Swinney farm on Fenwick Moor.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Then surely we must have a car?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Well, Mr Stokes has kindly left us his.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35You'll find it outside in the courtyard.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Thank you. And good luck to you all.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Where'd Miss Tyson go? I thought this would be perfect for her.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I felt her dissection skills could do with brushing up.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55And I have the perfect specimen coming in today.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Excellent.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Where are you two off to?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05We, dear Whirly, are off for a drive in the country.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Fenwick Moor.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10James, you were right about Phoebe cheering up.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13She's worried because two of her father's heifers
0:07:13 > 0:07:15aborted their calves yesterday.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Two.- I know. It's very odd.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's going to make things really hard for them on the farm.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38One scabby sheep.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40No pun intended, but you do know
0:07:40 > 0:07:42that this job is largely about pulling the wool?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44That's a bit cynical. Even for you, McAloon.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50No one wants to pay us, so you need to look every inch the expert,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53even if you haven't a clue. Which, in your case, is bang on the money.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Right.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06That way.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Where we going?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Just a short detour.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Whirly said there's a problem at Phoebe's farm.- Oh!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You're such a soft touch, Herriot.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Let's just see the damned sheep and get back to the pub.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It could be a bit more exciting than a sheep
0:08:20 > 0:08:22that's been hit by a bicycle.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27A dairy herd. 30 beasts.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- That's not the kind of excitement I'm after.- If there's a problem,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33there could be money in it for us.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38James Herriot, you have said the magic word.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Yeah. Thought so.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02It doesn't look good.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Indeed.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Looks nearly full term.- Hmm.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Who the hell are you? You're trespassing.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Mr Murdoch, we're from the Glasgow Veterinary College.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17I'm James Herriot.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22We've heard you've had some trouble with your cows.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Phoebe's friend, Whirly Tyson, told us.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Two of your cows have slipped their calves.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- My daughter has no business...- For a reasonable fee, Mr Murdoch, we can...
0:09:32 > 0:09:37I am not spending a fortune for you to tell me what I already know.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Now, excuse me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Oh, well, time is money, let's move on swiftly.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51It looks like you could do with some veterinary help, Mr Murdoch.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54That calf's nearly full term, do you know what happened?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57James, you're never going to persuade him, let's leave.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59James!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01There, lass.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Have you not finished yet?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Almost, Mr Murdoch.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- I thought I told you two to sod off. - What do you think's wrong, Mr...?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Murray.- Ah, Desmond. James Herriot.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23A couple of the cows have slipped their calves. Happens all the time.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's mother nature. This'll see them all right.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- Well, there you have it, then. - Are you a vet, sir?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Yes.- Can I ask where you trained?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I've learnt with these.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I've been fixing animals since you were in short trousers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42How many years have you been tending to animals?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- What's in the bottle?- It's cow medicine.- What's that exactly?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Yeah, I've just about had my fill of you.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Come on, give me a hand here, man, come on.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00There, lady. Shh, shh, shh.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Come on, James.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02COW GROANS
0:11:11 > 0:11:17- My turn to drive, old boy. - Would you mind?- Tch.- Thank you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:25- That man, Desmond, doesn't have a clue.- Well, he can join the club.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You see his face when I asked him what was in this thing?
0:11:28 > 0:11:29Tad blank, I agree.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36God, what a complete waste of our time. Thank you, Whirly Tyson!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Whirly, are you still here?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Yes, never was any pig.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Gunnell's made a complete fool out of me.- Of course he has.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04What a fool. He shouldn't be allowed to treat women differently.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Honestly, Whirly, the way you stand up to people...
0:12:10 > 0:12:15..this country needs people like you who fight for what they believe in.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Thank you, Jenny.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Just through here.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28We call her Lilian.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34She was our daughter's little lamb.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37She lives in Canada now.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Saskatchewan.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42We haven't heard from her in years.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Lilian's the only living thing we have to remind us of her.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Clearly a much-loved, family animal, Mrs Swinney.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54She's a lot more than that.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Indeed she is.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Now, if you wouldn't mind standing outside for a while,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Mr and Mrs Swinney, my colleague, vet Herriot,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09and I would like to examine Lilian properly.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Yes, of course, you must be prepared...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16..if she is...very badly injured...
0:13:17 > 0:13:20..it will be best to put her to sleep.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Thank you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Are you mad?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36They're getting sentimental over a sheep. It's a surrogate daughter!
0:13:36 > 0:13:38This could be an excellent money-spinner for us.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Robert McAloon, we are not letting an animal suffer to make money.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Who says she's going to suffer?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh, for God's sake, Herriot, you need the cash more than I do.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Take notes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Investigation commencing, 11:58.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I suppose you're enjoying having a laugh at my expense.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17How dare you speak to me like that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- You said the pig was being delivered first thing.- Did I?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Well, perhaps I was wrong. - Yes, deliberately.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Because you wanted me to miss out on the experience
0:14:27 > 0:14:28all the other students were getting.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Miss Tyson, I have never heard the like.- Don't give me that, you liar.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35I know exactly what you've done.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Miss Tyson. You're running amok.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Apologise to Professor Gunnell immediately.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Damned if I will, you're just as bad as he is, this college.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48It's just one big, old boys' club.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Professor Gunnell wanted to give you badly needed practical help.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You've no cause to impune his integrity.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Now, please go.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09No sign of any broken bones.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Might just be shock, she may recover in her own time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18We won't get paid a fee for that diagnosis.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Can't we think of something more...
0:15:21 > 0:15:23complicated?
0:15:25 > 0:15:26- More expensive.- No.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Listless, not eating, no eye response.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Surely I can find something in the college library with those symptoms.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I'm sorry, can't cheat the old couple.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Look at this plate. The sheep eats better than you, old man.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55The Swinney's clearly aren't short of a bob or two.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57KNOCK ON DOOR
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Mr and Mrs Swinney.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05The good news is there are no obvious signs of internal injuries.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It may be, er, psychological.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Vet Herriot and I shall return to our surgery
0:16:12 > 0:16:15and consult with the specialist in this area.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Don't worry, we'll do everything we can to save her.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Thank you, Mr McAloon.- Cheers.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Ah.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41You should apologise, Whirly.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I'm sick of apologising to Gunnell for what he's done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- The man hates me and I hate him. - But what you said to Richie?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Not my finest hour, I agree.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You know Richie wouldn't tolerate discrimination,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00he's hardly the old boys' club type.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- We went to the Murdochs' farm, like you asked.- And?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Phoebe's future husband was there.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- I didn't think very much of him. - Desmond?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I told you, he's a lovely chap. Phoebe adores him.- Ay, he's a fake.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21James, he was responsible
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- for looking after horses in the Great War.- So he says.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27It's true and he suffered terrible shell-shock.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30That injury, you think he made it up?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33He became a recluse, for God's sake. It was Phoebe who saved his life.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Well, I wouldn't trust a thing the man says.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37You don't know what you're talking about.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39He's well-respected by farmers.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Well, his own future father-in-law didn't seem
0:17:41 > 0:17:42to respect him very much.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Old Murdoch doesn't think anyone's any good, apart from himself.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47He's a bully, just like Gunnell.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It looks like snake oil to me.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I suspect a home-made brew of ingredients,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10easily purchased on every high street in the land.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16(Knew he was a quack.)
0:18:19 > 0:18:21A Mr Desmond Murray at the Murdoch's farm
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- is pretending to be a vet, professor.- Uh-huh.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27There are a lot of men who call themselves vets
0:18:27 > 0:18:30who don't have the scientific qualifications.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33But they often have good instincts and experience.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Apparently he looked after animals in the Great War.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45I wish we'd stop calling that imperialist disaster "great".
0:18:45 > 0:18:49It was the ugliest, least great event you could ever imagine.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51A scar on this country's history.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You fought in the War, professor?
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Swept up in a great, patriotic fervour. I was naive, Mr Herriot.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04The prerogative of youth.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07If this Mr Murray's experience was anything like my own,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09he has my profound sympathy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14He has been badly injured.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Part of his face has been...
0:19:19 > 0:19:20shot away.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Imagine having to live with that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32Now, give that tincture to Mr Gakhal. He'll give you a scientific opinion.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35And after you do, why not spend the rest of the evening
0:19:35 > 0:19:38reading about the "Great War", as you call it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42You need to know your history, Mr Herriot.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44To see why, in this country and the rest of Europe,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47there are very dark forces on the rise.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Oh, Professor Richie?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00You know I'm a good friend of Whirly Tyson.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Do you think Professor Gunnell's trying to get rid of her
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- from this college? - I can't believe that for a moment.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Maybe we should try and see things from Whirly's point of view?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Miss Tyson must learn to marshal an argument.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Not charge about like a raging bull.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- You see the silvery deposit?- Uh-huh.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51- That tells us there's arsenic in the mixture.- Arsenic.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55That's lethal.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- Isn't it?- No, not always.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59If the dosage is very, very tiny.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Most of the liquid is a mixture of beer and linseed oil.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I do not think that this will be helping the cows at all.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11In fact, it could very well be harming them.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23Yes, yes! James! I found a treatment that fits the sheep's symptoms.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- James? Did you hear me?- Uh-huh.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Your financial worries are over.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32We can keep Lilian living in sheepy luxury and watch the fees roll in.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Lilian wins, the Swinneys win and, more importantly, we win.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I'm sorry, McAloon, you'll have to deal with the Swinneys yourself.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Please yourself. If your prefer to be on the breadline then so be it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47See you back at Mrs M's.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53James?
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Still here?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Jenny.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04- What are you reading that for? - Professor Richie gave it to me.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Typical.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08Pacifist claptrap.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13We've millions of dead soldiers and he feels sorry for the Germans!
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Maybe he's trying to recruit you.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- To what?- To the Bolshevik cause.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28I don't think Professor Richie has that much regard for me.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Unlike a certain landlady we could mention.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Jenny, I swear McAloon's making the whole thing up.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I haven't gone anywhere near Mrs Munro.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Have you gone anywhere near any other women?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I've had a girlfriend.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48In fact, I've had more than one.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52JENNY LAUGHS
0:22:54 > 0:22:57That doesn't surprise me at all, James.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07All Quiet On The Western Front.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13(Whirly. Whirly.)
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Ah, Whirly, are you doing anything tomorrow?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20No, I'm afraid she's going to be at the college
0:23:20 > 0:23:22waiting for phantom carcasses.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Hm-hm-hm-ha. Would you accompany me to the Murdochs' farm?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30It's just I'm a little wary of Mr Murdoch's temper.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Don't worry, James, I'll protect you.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Ah, you're a pal. Goodnight, you two.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44So, have you chosen an escort for Phoebe's wedding?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I haven't decided yet.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Could be Camaron, could be Faraday, could be James.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Oh, no, it won't be James.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Your aunt told me she's going to ask him out for dinner on Saturday.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58James isn't interested in Aunt Elspeth.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Well, ask him yourself, Whirly. All that spluttering denial..
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Don't you think Mr Herriot protested too much?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09(Do you know, I think he might be after her money.)
0:24:09 > 0:24:11God knows he needs it.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I, therefore, offer myself.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Why the hell not?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43What?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Oh, Mrs Munro!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Ummm.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Sorry, Mrs Munro.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54James, darling. Pass me my robe.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Er.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01James!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Thank you, James. You're so delightful.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- Phh, ha.- Good for you, young James. Didn't know you had it in you.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Chucking us out here. - Can't keep Lilian the sheep waiting.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51You monster.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56Darling Whirly, try not to harangue Farmer Murdoch like you did Gunnell.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- You'll just end up with egg on your face.- Gunnell set me up.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Old Gunnell isn't going to waste his time sending you
0:26:01 > 0:26:02on a wild goose chase.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05That's exactly what he did. This isn't a game.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Eugh. Another TT, Tyson Tantrum.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I don't know what I was thinking of last night,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15I won't be taking you to Phoebe's wedding, I'd sooner take Gunnell.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21You asked for that.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Hello, Mr Murdoch.- Tyson.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44If you've come to see our Phoebe, go away inside.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46The last thing I need is an interfering student
0:26:46 > 0:26:48from the vet college.
0:26:48 > 0:26:54- This so-called cure, Mr Murdoch... It's got arsenic in it.- Eh?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57As if I'm going to poison my own father-in-law's herd.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00We've had it tested in the college lab.
0:27:00 > 0:27:07Well? Tell him what's in it. Come on, Desmond, we're all waiting.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Tell him what's in it, man!
0:27:12 > 0:27:13You don't know, do you?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- It's a secret. It's good medicine. - I think you'd better go.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Destroying my herd!- Father, what's going on?- You tell her, you bastard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- No!- Phoebe, stop it. No!- Tell her what you have done to us all.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32That man said there was poison in the bottle.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37There can't have been poison in it, I've used it for years on horses.
0:27:37 > 0:27:44You, just stay away from us and you never go near our Phoebe again.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And to think...
0:27:48 > 0:27:50I was going to let you run my farm.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, you have proven yourself unfit!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58And the wedding's off.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01It's not your place to cancel the wedding, Mr Murdoch.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- I will do what I want. - Desmond, I'm coming with you.
0:28:04 > 0:28:09Aye, fine, go on, run away with a man that ruined your mother and me.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Don't leave us, Phoebe. I cannot cope without you.- I'm sorry, mother.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- I can't live without him. - Let her go.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22You're making me choose, father. I don't want this.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23I can't take you from your own family.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26You're my family now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Come on.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Remember, Phoebe, you're no daughter of mine now.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- There may be a lot longer in the old girl yet.- You're a marvel, son.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06With this, the three of you can while away the days together.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Tincture of ergot.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Put it in her milk. With a drop of whisky.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Of course, I'll need to check up on her regularly.- Oh, certainly.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22I don't think Mr Stokes would understand all this effort
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- to keep a sheep alive. - Stokes'll be shown the door.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28You have our total faith, Mr McAloon.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Right.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Let's say half a crown for today's visit, sixpence for the medicine
0:29:34 > 0:29:37and I'll only charge you two shillings for my last visit.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40My assistant's very cheap.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I can't believe she's left her family.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Because of my meddling.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Where do you think they've gone?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Desmond's got a place at Carbeth.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- What a mess. I'll have to go back. - Why? To cause more havoc?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06You couldn't help yourself, could you?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Sometimes, James, you're like a dog with a bone.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Well, I can't walk away now.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Has anyone ever told you how annoying you are?
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Yes.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28You.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Ah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33God knows how many of them are still to abort.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Come on, farmer's daughter, lead the way.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42COW GROANS
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Feel the swelling on that.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- Could it be caused by poisoning? - It's almost like arthritis.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- Whirly, she's sweating. - Yes, just like Murdoch.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06James, let's take some swaps back to the lab,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09see if they can come up with anything.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I want to see this lab of yours. There's no poison in here.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20That's exactly what's in there. You really don't know what you're doing.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- How dare you? - You're a danger to those animals.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Ah! Mother nature!
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Let me show you the test.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Believe me, sir, this substance is arsenic.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37But I paid good money for it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40When I give it horses, they always look healthier.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43That's because a little arsenic will strengthen them.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Give them a shiny coat, if used once or twice.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Any more than that makes them sick.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And more than that...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52..will kill them dead.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Mr Murray?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Desmond, you should get home to Phoebe.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10And tell her I poisoned her father's herd?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14From what I hear, she loves you very much.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18She's the light of my life, Mr Herriot.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19I'm nothing without her.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22But what's she going to think of me now?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31JAMES SIGHS
0:32:33 > 0:32:36LAUGHTER
0:32:39 > 0:32:42So you've spent all this time on one sheep?
0:32:43 > 0:32:48Professor Richie, um, well, i-it's, er,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51it's a very important sheep to the family.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54And, er, they're grateful to the college for all the attention
0:32:54 > 0:32:56that I've given her.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- It.- Yes, I've heard from Mr Stokes.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01The Swinneys don't want his services.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Well, apparently, you're very expensive, Mr McAloon?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Five shillings for two visits. But worth every penny(!)
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- It's a very complicated case. - And what was the ailment exactly?
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Um.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Er, a psychological breakdown.- Ah.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26I despair of you, McAloon.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It seemed to reassure the Swinneys.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I shall expect a large donation to the college library.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Pfff.- Oh, that's unless you want me
0:33:37 > 0:33:41to apprise Professor Legge of your money-making schemes?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44No, sir.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45No.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54We got them from the Murdochs' farm. It must be Bang's bacillus.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Sweating, swollen joints, calves aborting early.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59And I believe Mr Murdoch's got it as well.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Well, from your description of the symptoms, it seems most likely.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- I knew it.- Give me time to do the tests.- Thanks, Jagdeep.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Donald, I'll have to forego our drinks later.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18She's in here.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Yes.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Hmm.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36COW GROANS
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Aah.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Bang's bacillus.- Eh? - No doubt about it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50You'll have to separate the sweating cows from the rest of the herd
0:34:50 > 0:34:52and slaughter them.
0:34:52 > 0:34:59Are you mad, man? I can't kill live, healthy animals. They're in calf.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- I'll lose everything.- I've given you my best advice, Mr Murdoch.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- If you act fast, you may save some. - And if I don't?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10There's no known cure, I'm afraid.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13It'll spread to the rest of the herd.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16They'll be no calves, no milk for at least two years.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21It'll be the end of your farm.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29That'll be five shillings.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Ah, James!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Mr McAloon has told me of your great liking of fine food.
0:35:36 > 0:35:44So, I intend to treat you to lunch at Regano's restaurant on Saturday.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49Oh, ha-ha-ha. Thank you, but I couldn't, Mrs Munro.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Oh, am I hearing things?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58An invitation to the best restaurant in Glasgow turned down flat?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01How could you, James?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Er.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I don't have anything to wear.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09I have kept my husband's wardrobe all these years.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12You shall have one of his dress suits.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- Go on, James, fatten yourself up at Aunt Elspeth's expense.- Yes.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You don't have to worry about Whirly and me,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20we'll make our own entertainment, won't we, Whirly?
0:36:20 > 0:36:21If we have to.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33Thank you, Mrs Munro. I will accept your invitation to lunch.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I think blue would suit you, James. Bring out the colour of your eyes.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42TELEPHONE RINGS
0:36:42 > 0:36:44Hello?
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Yes, he is.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Mr McAloon, telephone call for you.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Uh!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04That does sound serious, Mr Swinney. I understand completely.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Lilian is most definitely special.
0:37:09 > 0:37:15You have my word. As a vet. I will be leaving immediately.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Seems like the old girl's taken a turn for the worse.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26You don't fancy being a charm and helping me investigate, do you?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I get to drive?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Obviously much iller than I thought.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Still, we've had a few more hours of her company. Thanks to you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I don't think I have to explain what's best here.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14She'll suffer no pain. I promise you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I shall administer a very generous dose.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Just to make sure.
0:38:21 > 0:38:27Mr McAloon, we're not wanting Lilian sent to the knacker's yard.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34If it's all the same to you, we want to have her cremated.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43MRS SWINNEY SOBS
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Desmond?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You can't stay here. It's not right.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Well, we can't afford to put me up in a fancy hotel, can we?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35I can't do this to your father.
0:39:35 > 0:39:41- He took me in and I've poisoned his livestock. Some thanks.- You didn't.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You were making them better.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46All I've got is this shack.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52My reputation's been trashed. All I can give you is a life of misery.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I'm not having you talk such rubbish. We've got each other.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Get it into your head, woman, I don't want you.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Don't speak to me like that, Desmond.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08The only reason I was with was to get the farm from your father.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15- No.- I was using you. And now, you're no use to me, understand?
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Get yourself back to your family. I don't love you. I never have.
0:40:41 > 0:40:42Phoebe!
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- He's thrown me out, Whirly.- What?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Desmond doesn't want to go through with the wedding.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- He said he didn't love me. - Well, that can't be true.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56He was only after me for my father's farm.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02- Phoebe, he told me he adores you. - He lied to you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Like he's lied to me all this time.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12You can stay here tonight. I'll get you a wee drink.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33- Miss Tyson. You were right. It's Bang's bacillus.- I knew it.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37And the arsenic? It was making them worse, yes?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40There is arsenic in the medicine and it would've made them ill
0:41:40 > 0:41:45eventually, but it didn't give them swollen joints.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49And it wasn't making the cows abort.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54You made a mistake, James. It happens.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56What about Desmond and Phoebe?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- What have I done? - We will have to tell the Murdochs.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- Oh, no need for that.- Sorry?
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Well, fortunately for the Murdochs, I was able to diagnose
0:42:08 > 0:42:10the problem last night.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11- You went to the Murdochs' farm? - I did.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Yes, after you heard about my diagnosis!
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Miss Tyson, a man of my experience understands all too well
0:42:20 > 0:42:22the dangers of Bang's bacillus.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26It was my duty to inform them at the earliest opportunity.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29You cannot take risks here.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I recommended he slaughter the infected cows.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39You did it to thwart me.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43To thwart you?
0:42:45 > 0:42:46A ridiculous accusation.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33And you witnessed it all, Donald?
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Professor Gunnell could hardly have been more accommodating.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41I've tried very hard to reach out to Miss Tyson.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45Alas, she's thrown it back in my face.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48There's no doubt she's a headstrong, young woman,
0:43:48 > 0:43:51but perhaps there's justification for her anger.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54What are you suggesting, professor?
0:43:54 > 0:43:57It can't be easy being in a minority of two in the college.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01And, you've said yourself, you don't want women in your classes.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Desmond?
0:44:24 > 0:44:26- Desmond, it's James.- Leave me alone.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30You didn't kill those calves.
0:44:34 > 0:44:35Desmond?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Did you hear me? You're not responsible.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43They would have aborted whatever you gave them.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46It's a disease called Bang's bacillus.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- It's a very serious... - Yup, I know what it is.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56But you said I poisoned the cows. You proved it.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58You would have poisoned them eventually.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Just stick to farming, Desmond. That's what you know.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06And then maybe you'll leave the vetting to the vets.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08We just have to hope you get it right?
0:45:08 > 0:45:10I jumped to conclusions.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26You know, this is the...this is the coward's way out.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Cos Phoebe needs you, the whole family needs you.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32And, yes, I made a mistake, but you're the one
0:45:32 > 0:45:35that helped me make it, cos you only said the things
0:45:35 > 0:45:38you thought Mr Murdoch wanted to hear,
0:45:38 > 0:45:40not what you believed yourself.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42You know, you'd hardly believe it but...
0:45:45 > 0:45:47..I used to be a brave man once.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54Well, you're all going to need guts because...
0:45:54 > 0:45:57your future father-in-law's been advised to slaughter
0:45:57 > 0:45:58the infected cattle.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Are you feeling all right, Quintin?
0:46:06 > 0:46:08ECHOED RINGING
0:46:15 > 0:46:17MUFFLED LAUGHTER
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Professor Gunnell!
0:46:20 > 0:46:22What are you doing here? This is for women only.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23HE GROANS
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Is there something wrong, professor?
0:46:27 > 0:46:29Uh. Oh.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36HE RETCHES
0:46:39 > 0:46:40Argh.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44COWS MOO
0:46:46 > 0:46:48Mr Murdoch! Don't do it!
0:46:48 > 0:46:52- What are you talking about? - There's another way.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55All we need is to keep the infected cattle separated.
0:46:55 > 0:46:56In time, they'll cure themselves.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59It's just essential they don't infect any other cattle.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01Believe me, I've done this before.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03I just wish I'd spotted the signs earlier.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06But your Professor Gunnell, he said different.
0:47:06 > 0:47:10Professor Gunnell is a pathologist. His speciality's dead animals.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Desmond cares about this farm.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Give me a chance to prove myself.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Phoebe.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49- I need to talk to you.- Why?
0:47:50 > 0:47:51Since you've never loved me.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54I'm sorry.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56I didn't mean a word of it.
0:47:59 > 0:48:00I love you so much.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05I'm going to marry you.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08And we're going to run this farm.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10Together.
0:48:28 > 0:48:29Oh, I do so miss the sun.
0:48:29 > 0:48:34Not that muffled glow Glasgow occasionally offers.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Oh, and this one, Charles in the south of France.
0:48:39 > 0:48:44- Looking so handsome.- Hm. You make a very stylish couple.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Perhaps what you need is a holiday.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49- I mean, I can look after this place. - Oh, no, I couldn't possibly.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53I know it sounds foolish but...
0:48:53 > 0:48:56this place is where I feel closest to Charles.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Wouldn't he want you to go?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Want you to enjoy things?
0:49:02 > 0:49:04No, it would feel like a betrayal.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09No, the world will just have to continue to come to me.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19Five years ago, you promised us this farm.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22- It's time you honoured your word. - I'll decide when you get the farm.
0:49:22 > 0:49:26Look at yourself, Fraser. This place has nearly killed you!
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Give him time, Father.
0:49:30 > 0:49:31Mr Murdoch?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36I think Desmond has an instinct for animals.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39This farm could thrive with him in charge.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Well, you heard the man. It's time to let it go!
0:49:52 > 0:49:54I'll not be far away.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56Son.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Phoebe and I'd be really pleased
0:50:05 > 0:50:07if you'd agree to be guest of honour at our wedding.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11How could I refuse?
0:50:11 > 0:50:16- Thank you.- And do bring your lady friend, James. If you have one.
0:50:31 > 0:50:32Ah, James.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37Whirly and I have been waiting up for you.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Well, the choice is yours.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42- Hm?- For our luncheon date.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Ooh. Oh.
0:50:45 > 0:50:52Er, sorry, Mrs Munro, but I have another engagement for Saturday.
0:50:52 > 0:50:57- I'm to be guest of honour for Phoebe's wedding.- It's back on!
0:50:57 > 0:50:59That's wonderful news.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02In that case, Mr McAloon,
0:51:02 > 0:51:04I shall allow you to accompany me to Regano's.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06Well, no, I was actually going to accompany Whirly to...
0:51:06 > 0:51:10Oh, no, no, I couldn't deprive Aunt Elspeth of a male companion.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14There. Then, you and I very much have a date, Mr McAloon.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Excellent.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25Mrs Munro?
0:51:26 > 0:51:29If I may be so forward as to ask to borrow
0:51:29 > 0:51:34one of your late husband's suits for the wedding?
0:51:34 > 0:51:37I shall look forward to seeing you in it.
0:51:37 > 0:51:38Thank you.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42And if I may use the telephone, please?
0:51:44 > 0:51:45- Oh, if you're brief.- Yes.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52Hello? Jenny?
0:51:53 > 0:51:56Jenny, yeah, it's James.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Herriot. James Herriot.
0:52:00 > 0:52:05Yeah, no, um, I have been invited to a wedding. Yes.
0:52:05 > 0:52:11And, and, and I was hoping that you would agree to come with me.
0:52:14 > 0:52:18Oh, that's wonderful. That is just the cat's pyjamas. Y-Yes, yes.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24No, no, you take care and I'll... Hello? Jenny?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Jennifer? Jennifer?
0:52:53 > 0:52:57It's like my Charles, standing there, all over again.
0:52:58 > 0:52:59DOOR OPENS
0:53:01 > 0:53:06Well, look at you! Mr McAloon?
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- Come and have a look at this. - Aunt Elspeth!
0:53:10 > 0:53:11Miss Whirly Tyson!
0:53:11 > 0:53:13Hello!
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Come on, we should go.
0:53:18 > 0:53:19Have fun.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27FIDDLE PLAYS
0:53:38 > 0:53:39Thank you.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful Mr and Mrs Murray!
0:53:43 > 0:53:45ALL CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:53:52 > 0:53:54JENNY: Congratulations.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04KNOCK ON DOOR
0:54:05 > 0:54:08Mrs Munro? Your transport awaits.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15I'm, um, I'm having second thoughts.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18All that fetid air and traffic noise.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23I rather had my heart set on Regano's famous oysters.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33Very well.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Just a ten second walk to the comfort of the car.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49- Hmm.- Here we are.
0:54:57 > 0:54:58Good afternoon.
0:55:01 > 0:55:03Mrs Munro.
0:55:03 > 0:55:04SHEEP BAAS
0:55:05 > 0:55:07I-I-I swear I s-saw a sheep.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11No, no, it must be the, er, shock of the fresh air, Mrs M.
0:55:14 > 0:55:15Th-th-there's something in there.
0:55:15 > 0:55:20Maybe you should, um, you should've stayed indoors.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21Yes, here we are.
0:55:25 > 0:55:26Right.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28No oysters for me, then.
0:55:43 > 0:55:47- You brought Lilian's ashes? - Better than that, Mr Swinney.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50Are you both prepared for the surprise of your lives?
0:55:52 > 0:55:53It's a miracle!
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Rather than prosaic than that, I fear.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00That sedative I gave her must have put her to sleep and, perhaps,
0:56:00 > 0:56:02it's given her body time to heal itself.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05I think that's a veritable spring in her step, don't you think?
0:56:05 > 0:56:07Oh, you're a genius, young sir.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Sadly, the opposite is the case, Mrs Swinney.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12To be honest, I've rather been flying by the seat of my pants.
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Never.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16I think having told you Lilian was dead
0:56:16 > 0:56:18while she was very much alive is evidence enough of that.
0:56:18 > 0:56:22My advice, if you'll take it, is to stick with Mr Stokes.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24I doubt he would have made the same mistake I did.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Ah, come away inside and we'll get you a drink and something to eat.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31And we got a telegram from our daughter.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34- We'll tell you all about it.- Very tempting, though that is, Mr Swinney.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37I have another fish to fry this evening.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40Mr McAloon, thank you so much.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42- Thank you.- Goodbye.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Here, come on, come on.
0:56:47 > 0:56:48Ha-ha-ha-ha.
0:56:57 > 0:56:59FIDDLE CONTINUES TO PLAY
0:56:59 > 0:57:02Come on. This is my favourite.
0:57:15 > 0:57:18On your lonesome again, Whirly?
0:57:18 > 0:57:20You should've taken me up on my offer.
0:57:20 > 0:57:21Be quiet and dance.
0:57:30 > 0:57:34- Doing anything next Friday? - Actually, I have an engagement.
0:57:34 > 0:57:38Well, more of a fundraising event, really.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40And, given your new interest in politics,
0:57:40 > 0:57:42perhaps you might find it quite stimulating.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02- Mother! Father!- Five generations of Muirheads have bred Gordon Setters.
0:58:02 > 0:58:07You've plenty to worry about with this misconduct hearing today.
0:58:07 > 0:58:10She tried to poison me. Me! The vice principal of the college.
0:58:12 > 0:58:13What about this misconduct hearing?
0:58:15 > 0:58:16Are you in or out?
0:58:16 > 0:58:19The jury's weighing it up. But one thing's in my favour.
0:58:19 > 0:58:21Jenny Muirhead's in there, fighting my corner.
0:58:21 > 0:58:25I'm afraid, this is a little awkward.
0:58:25 > 0:58:26Why awkward?
0:58:26 > 0:58:29How would you like to come and work at the kennels?
0:58:29 > 0:58:30DOGS BARK
