0:00:02 > 0:00:04- James? Still here? - Jenny!
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- What are you reading that for? - Professor Richie gave it to me.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11You fought in the war, Professor?
0:00:11 > 0:00:16Swept up in a great patriotic fervour. I was naive, Mr Herriot.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18The prerogative of youth.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Typical. Pacifist claptrap.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Thanks for nothing, Jenny.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27She doesn't believe in the emancipation of women.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Given her father owns half of Scotland she doesn't need to believe.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33- You went to the Murdochs' farm? - I did.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- After you heard about my diagnosis. - It was my duty to inform them.
0:00:37 > 0:00:38You did it to thwart me.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41A ridiculous accusation.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Is there something wrong, Professor?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Perhaps you need a holiday.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Mrs Munro.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I swear, I... I saw a sheep.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56No, no! It must be...the shock of the fresh air Mrs M.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Maybe you should... You should've stayed indoors.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04No. The world will just have to continue to come to me.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Doing anything next Friday?
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Actually, I have an engagement.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Well, it's more of a fundraising event really.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And, given your new interest in politics,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16perhaps you might find it quite stimulating.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56ALARM CLOCK RINGS
0:01:56 > 0:01:58JAMES GROANS
0:02:22 > 0:02:24James, here's your wages, sir.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Thank you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I hope it's worth it, James, working day and night.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Falling asleep in your exam because you only slept a few hours all week?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50That's just what Jenny says.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And she's not helping.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Showing you off to all her posh friends until late into the night.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Sorry. Not my business.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Whirly, if I fail it won't be from lack of sleep.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11It'll more than likely just show I'm not a good enough vet.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Oh, come on. You have a fantastic way with animals.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Apart from cows, maybe. And horses, obviously, are a weak point.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24But it's the academic stuff.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I don't seem to have a brain that holds on to it.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I mean, I put all the information in.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Then when I go to look for it...
0:03:33 > 0:03:37James, it's like Professor Richie says,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40there is such a thing as too much academic theory.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But there's definitely no such thing as too much hands on experience.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49Fine. Try telling that to Gunnell. He's the one marking the papers.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Hmm.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53What?
0:03:56 > 0:04:01You've plenty to worry about with this misconduct hearing today.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Don't worry about me.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I'm going in there with a very good plan of attack.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13See, that's what worries me. Attack.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Whirly, for once, why don't you just bite your tongue?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Gentlemen.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27My concern is for the wider implications
0:04:27 > 0:04:30of the actions of Miss Tyson.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34My own distress
0:04:34 > 0:04:39must be subsumed by a greater concern for...
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Perhaps firstly, professor, we might establish what actually happened.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49She tried to poison me. Me! The Vice Principal of the college!
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Professor Richie,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54you accept we must take a very serious view of such an offence?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I do. If an offence has been committed.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Do you have anything to say?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Only this, professors,
0:05:03 > 0:05:08that I see here not only a panel made up solely of men...
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Yes. Your professors.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Your superiors.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I find this liberal approach beyond galling.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20..but also see no representative here from the student body.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22If I am to be tried by a jury,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I insist it contain at least one of my peers.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29She insists! Well, I call that communism, gentlemen.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I rather think it's democracy.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I think it will be a very progressive step.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And the students would see this is no kangaroo court,
0:05:39 > 0:05:40no lynch mob.
0:05:40 > 0:05:47Very well then, gentlemen. Those for Miss Tyson's proposal?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Jenny, I think you'll waltz through the exams.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I most probably won't.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06And the thing is, unlike McAloon...
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Or me.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12My point is my family can't afford to pay an extra year for me
0:06:12 > 0:06:14to resit my exams, so...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Ooh, hello, boy!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Mother! Father! - Darling!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I didn't think you were back till next week!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yes. Obviously, Rome has its delights, poppet.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28But it does tend to be so full of Italians.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, you are a real corker aren't you?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32This is James. He's almost as potty about dogs as you are.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36You're terribly privileged, James.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Freda is very particular who she favours.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I don't think I've seen a more perfect example.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Five generations of Muirheads have bred Gordon Setters.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Anyway, I think we should let Jennifer
0:06:46 > 0:06:48and her young friend give us a tour of the place.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Love to, Father, but I'm afraid we have an exam to sit in -
0:06:51 > 0:06:54heavens, in five minutes!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59But perhaps afterwards James could come over and see the kennels.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Kennels?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04I'm afraid your father has people arriving on important business.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Another time. - How about tomorrow?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10If that's all right? Because I would love to see a proper pedigree kennel.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12See what I mean?
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Well, you'd better dash.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Good to meet you, John.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20We'll see you later.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Ma'am.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What a charming young man.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13Some of my fellow professors were against the intake of women
0:08:13 > 0:08:15here at the college.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17But I...
0:08:17 > 0:08:23I think we have to be forward looking.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Quite. I'm often told equality is the coming thing.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Although, I think the call for equality with men
0:08:30 > 0:08:31does set the bar rather low.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Your daughter, Lady Muirhead,
0:08:34 > 0:08:38could do no more to prove those naysayers wrong.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39Certainly, from her letters
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Jennifer does seem terribly settled here.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47And I'm sure, as you say, this will go some way to helping
0:08:47 > 0:08:50those students without her advantages.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Splendid.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59As Vice Principal of the college, I thank you both
0:08:59 > 0:09:05for this generous beginning to the New Legge Scholarship Fund.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10And I hope we shall see you and your colleagues at our gathering tomorrow.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm sure we will find it, uh, stimulating.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Of course, Mother loves that I'm going to become a vet.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Father's very supportive,
0:09:20 > 0:09:26- although he's very busy these days with his work in...in politics.- Oh.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29But Mother says as long as I pass,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33he'll be satisfied I'm doing the right thing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37You see, that's what I don't understand.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43That someone like Whirly, who's brilliant in her exam work,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45is taking the risk of being thrown out of college.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Isn't she saying she didn't put anything in Gunnell's grog?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Of course she is. How could she say any different?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57WHISPERS: It doesn't change the fact that she did.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Meanwhile, yours truly has to pedal twice as fast
0:10:03 > 0:10:06just to keep up with either of you two.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10All the more reason to get down to some serious revision for the practical exam.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Absolutely.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15More often than not Mrs Munro has the house full,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17but she's been rather down lately.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So, it should be pretty quiet.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Mrs Munro?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:10:33 > 0:10:37James! Darling! Isn't it marvellous?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Oskar is back again to teach the joys of art
0:10:40 > 0:10:43to the boys of St Aloysius College.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Oskar Konstandt.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What a fine study such a beauty would make.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's very nice to meet you.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Mr Konstandt, pleasure to...
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Thank you. - You're already a great friend.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05James, I think perhaps I should leave you with your...friends.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Really? No...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I'll see you tomorrow at the kennels. So, good night.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Good night!
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Mr McAloon. Please, a glass also.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Ooh, no, no, no, no.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23No giggle water for me tonight, I'm afraid. But thank you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Please, to seal the hello.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Just one very, very small... erm, whatever it is.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Then I must get back to my books.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34To friends!
0:11:34 > 0:11:35To friends!
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- L'chaim! - L'chaim!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45JAMES HICCOUGHS
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Here come the hiccoughs.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06HE BELCHES
0:12:08 > 0:12:09James Herriot!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17HE SNORES
0:12:23 > 0:12:25ALARM CLOCK RINGS
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Good morning!
0:12:53 > 0:12:54It's a lovely morning, isn't it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56HE GROANS
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm just not sure, Oskar, on the whole,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06is very good for Aunt Elspeth.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Really? He's terrific fun. You saw how he dragged Mrs M
0:13:09 > 0:13:11out of her misery mood ten seconds after he got here.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Yes. But then, as usual, he'll pack up his easel and paints and leave.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18She'll be back where she was, or worse.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Breakfast, Mr Herriot?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Can't.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Got to go and see Jenny. And the Muirhead dogs.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37HE GROANS
0:13:42 > 0:13:46The two loves of his life in one breathless afternoon jaunt.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Looks like you've been forgotten, Whirly.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53You see, this always happens.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55ANGRY VOICES AND SCREAMING
0:13:57 > 0:14:00McAloon, do something!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Mrs Munro?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Get out of here! You insensitive brute!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09You think if Oskar go this time he will come back? Nein!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13See what I mean?
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Whirly...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17You cause nothing but trouble, Oskar.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It would be marvellous if you could come.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Much more fun for me.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40It's a sort of fundraising event for father's political friends.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42As long as I don't have to drink anything.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46What was that dangerous looking blue stuff?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Something called Schnapps.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Oskar says it's good for the soul but I don't think it is.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57You didn't seem to think very much of him. When he went to kiss your hand...
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There are some types one ought to be wary of.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03He didn't look very trustworthy to me.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- I'm sure if you got to know Oskar, I think...- Sometimes these foreigners
0:15:08 > 0:15:10will do anything to stay in the country.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I hope Mrs Munro doesn't fall for his charming manner
0:15:13 > 0:15:15and then regret it later.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Now, James. Be warned.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Mother is a dear, but she'll talk all day about her dogs
0:15:21 > 0:15:22if we let her.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26That's fine by me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Even before the Muirhead kennel was founded
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Gordon Setters had remained for one hundred years
0:15:33 > 0:15:36pure and unmixed with any blood.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And that's important?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Absolutely, it is. That's quite a pedigree to protect.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48I see you're unimpressed. Let's go and meet Ruaridh.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50And look at the dogs.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56BARKING
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Are you all right there, lad?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He thinks he's died and gone to heaven.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09This is just how it was when I decided to become a vet.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11This is exactly what I dreamed of.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Not about movie stars or becoming rich and famous?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Sir.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20They're all obviously very happy and healthy animals.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24It's about taking the best from successive litters and breeding out imperfections.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Imperfections of size, of temperament, and of line.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Camphorated oil. Have you had fever to deal with?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We had some mild signs, one or two dogs.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44But, with treatment, it receded.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I envy you. Working here all day with these dogs.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I would work here for no wages at all. I really would.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55James, I think we should go.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Unless you want Ruaridh to make you up a bed in the corner?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Jenny, is that part of the kennels?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12That's where we keep the animals that are waiting to be collected.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Collected?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Our standards are necessarily very high here, James.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21There are some dogs, in many respects very fine dogs,
0:17:21 > 0:17:25that don't quite make the grade.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Isn't that right, Mother?
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Yes, darling.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Do you ever think about the future, Jenny?
0:17:38 > 0:17:43What you'll be doing in, say, ten years?
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I will be an extremely accomplished veterinary surgeon with two,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51possibly three, very beautiful children,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and a completely devoted husband.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Probably some rich and handsome chap with a title.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Not necessarily titled.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Or rich.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I hope you will have no complaints
0:18:08 > 0:18:12about your student representative, Miss Tyson.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Except for their punctuality.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Oh! Whirly, is this about you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Please, Miss Muirhead. Take a seat.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28I will not deny there is
0:18:28 > 0:18:32an antipathy between Professor Gunnell and me.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And there is a history to that bad feeling.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39A history of unfair treatment and discrimination based on my sex.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Do we really have to listen to this bilge?
0:18:43 > 0:18:49Miss Muirhead, do you suffer from my supposed chauvinism?
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Well...
0:18:53 > 0:18:55..No.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And you deny adding a toxic substance to Professor Gunnell's port?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I do.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09That's a nasty bite.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13You really should have had one of us look at this sooner, Oskar.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Cleo is very protective.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I did not know if you feel like Miss Whirly
0:19:19 > 0:19:22there is not sympathy for me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Well, Whirly is not one to hide her feelings.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30I was angry, ja. But for not what you think.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I am telling Elspeth I love her.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39And you argued because of that?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I want her come away with me.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44America.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Oskar actually asked Aunt Elspeth to go with him to America?!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55He was almost in tears. You were wide of the mark.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57He's the one with the romantic heart.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59And she's saying no?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01You think I owe him an apology?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Yes, I'd say so.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08So, um, what about this misconduct hearing?
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Are you in or out?
0:20:09 > 0:20:13The jury's weighing it up. But one thing's in my favour.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Jenny Muirhead's in there fighting my corner.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24And what do you have to say Miss Muirhead?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26As a fellow student?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31I'm afraid this is a little awkward.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Why awkward?
0:20:33 > 0:20:41Well, because I happen to have been told, by a close friend of Whirly's,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45that she actually did put something in Professor Gunnell's port.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We have no choice.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I feel really awful about this.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Oskar is very impulsive, but I didn't think
0:20:57 > 0:21:00he was actually serious about the two of us leaving for America.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Obviously he is.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05"I have much sorrow because you cannot open your heart to me,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07"mein liebe."
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I can't just pack up and sail off to the other side of the world.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12"I have hope for us, but there is not hope for us
0:21:12 > 0:21:17"unless, I think, you can forget this man in your past.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20"Please say yes. Ihnen Oskar."
0:21:20 > 0:21:23He shouldn't talk about Charles in that way. How can I forget him?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Doesn't mean you need to forget.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Just let yourself find the happiness I'm sure Charles would have wanted for you.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Darling, you don't find such a happiness twice in a lifetime.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42I can't just leave everything behind and start all over again.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Can I?
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Here's to the future.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51To the future.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I could ask Mother, if you like,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03about whether there might be a position at the kennels.
0:22:03 > 0:22:09- Really?- What? It's all you've talked about since you saw the place.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Am I that easy to read?
0:22:10 > 0:22:15Yes. It's one of the things I like about you.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Actually, I don't think your mother would want me there,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20but thanks very much for asking.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I told them about Whirly.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30The professors? I told them that she put something in Gunnell's drink.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31What!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Why would you do that?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36They asked me. What was I supposed to do? Lie?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Yes.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Well, now what's going to happen? - I don't know.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46They'll probably send a stiff letter to her parents
0:22:46 > 0:22:48and tell her to behave herself.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51James.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55The person responsible for Whirly Tyson's problems is Whirly Tyson.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Wow.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Now, James.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You must promise not to spend all evening looking like
0:23:26 > 0:23:29you'd rather be at home studying for the exams.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Absolutely. Enjoy yourself.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Jennifer, shall we tell him about the kennels now,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- or do you think he will get overly excited?- Possibly.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39What! Sorry, pardon?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44James.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49How would like to see Freda and the other dogs every day?
0:23:49 > 0:23:50I beg your pardon?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54How would you like to come and work at the kennels?
0:23:54 > 0:23:59For you and...Ruaridh?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Yes, exactly. Join our little family.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Don't get carried away. You'll be helping out, not running the place.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Well...I think that would be the bee's knees!
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Good. You can start tomorrow.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18I'm sorry?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Or you can spend the next three years mucking out the stables.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I...don't know what to say.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Well, you must think on it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Ma'am.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41APPLAUSE And we all know many a man has arrived at Westminster roaring
0:24:41 > 0:24:47like a lion, only to succumb to the smoking room, the bar, the lobby.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So often, the best club in the country quickly robs
0:24:53 > 0:24:57a people's champion of his vitality and fighting power.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Our friend in Rome, Mr Mussolini,
0:25:01 > 0:25:07represents the first emergence of the modern man to power.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10We must pay him no less a tribute than to say,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14"Here at last is a man."
0:25:14 > 0:25:15CROWD: Here, here.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20And in this country we cry out for a leader,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24and that leader has emerged in the person of our own Oswald Mosley.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30He needs your support and also your money.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36The wheels of history are turning in Europe. Be ready.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Be glad.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42APPLAUSE
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Are you not reminded, James, why you and I prefer the company of animals?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Professor Richie.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Lady Muirhead was suggesting, and I think it's a marvellous idea,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25that the College run a course on animal eugenics.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I think it's a very bad idea.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Isn't eugenics just the study of breeding?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Surely that can only be a good thing?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'm left to wonder, given her husband's rousing speech
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and her obvious passion for the subject, whether this interest
0:26:40 > 0:26:45in controlled breeding is confined to the animal kingdom?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Surely the improvement of the population should be of great
0:26:49 > 0:26:53concern to anyone with the best interests of the country in mind.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Or do we think the noble qualities we so admire in our horses,
0:26:57 > 0:27:02cattle and dogs by selection should not be encouraged in ourselves?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Simply by spurring on the strong to reproduce,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08or deterring the weaker willed.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13And I wonder Lady Muirhead, who will decide what names
0:27:13 > 0:27:16should go on the list of undesirables?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I'm glad we can be friends.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I'm really sorry, Oskar.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Oskar forgive. And forget.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36To life.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37To life.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47I'll probably never learn. I've been so awful to James about Jenny.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I've got her all wrong too.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Perhaps not so wrong. Her father is Lord Muirhead, ja?
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Yes.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Read.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04And James has gone to one
0:28:04 > 0:28:06of this man's fund-raisers tonight.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Really? And you know the place where this is to happen?
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I would like to meet this man.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13What is it, James?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18It's just Freda. She's not her usual self at all.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21She's probably tired. It has been a rather long evening.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25It's a private function.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Whirly! What are you doing here?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34It wasn't actually my idea.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Lord Muirhead. - Who the hell are you?
0:28:36 > 0:28:40I am Oskar Konstandt and I come with a message for you
0:28:40 > 0:28:44from all the lawyers, doctors, writers,
0:28:44 > 0:28:49composers, artists, journalists, teachers
0:28:49 > 0:28:55of the once great city of Berlin,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59who can no longer go about their lives
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- because they are Jews. - OSKAR SPITS
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Oskar!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Disgraceful!
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Actually, I thought it was rather eloquent.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Come on, Freda, get up.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27What is it? Something serious?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29What's the matter, girl?
0:29:31 > 0:29:36There is something wrong with her. See this discharge coming from her eyes?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Her breathing is pretty laboured.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42The fever Ruaridh treated at the kennels, are you certain it was dealt with?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45He assured me it was.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48We'd better take her inside. Professor Richie will know what to do.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I think not. We must call Professor Gunnell.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06James, darling, you couldn't ask your woman to get me a top up, could you?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08It's all right, Mrs M. I'll do that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13It's parainfluenza.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I've given the animal something to reduce the temperature
0:30:16 > 0:30:20and we should see an improvement by the morning.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Thank you so much.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23At your service.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26You're sure she's going to be all right?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Let's see where we are in the morning. And remember James,
0:30:30 > 0:30:34we must not upset our golden goose.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51We owe you a very big thank you.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52No, no, no, no.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I just saw there was something not right with her.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Well, that's the intuitive feel for dogs the Muirhead kennel needs.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Well, you can tell your mother that I'll be in to see Freda
0:31:02 > 0:31:04first thing in the morning.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- You mean for the first day in your new job?- Mmm-hmm.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14I hope your father's happy now.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Whirly?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19I've just been to the police station. Oskar's under arrest.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Sleep well.
0:31:29 > 0:31:35Oskar. O-S-K-A-R.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Oskar Konstandt.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Yes... Well, I've already said this to the other officer.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I'm sure you are.... Very busy.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48But can't somebody just tell me what's happening?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Professor Gunnell may see the Muirhead family
0:31:56 > 0:31:59as some great financial nosebag, James.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02But I find them uncomfortable patrons for the college.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I could see how much you disagreed with them on politics. The thing is...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Most profoundly.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13And James, politics is more than about bar-room banter after a few pints.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Sometimes it's about people's lives. You should be wary of those people.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21The thing... The thing is, Professor Richie,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Lady Muirhead has offered me a job at the kennels.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30And so... I've accepted her offer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33And how will that work with your studies?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37I thought that if both you and her were able to work together, I might do both.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41No. Try to ride two horses and you'll get nowhere. You need to choose.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45But it is a great opportunity, don't you think, professor?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I think you'll regret it. But you've made your choice.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Now remember you've an oral exam later if you still feel the college has anything to offer you, James.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I can't believe you're actually working for these people, James!
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Whirly, I just want to help animals. I don't care about the politics.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Really? Maybe if you talked to Oskar, you and Jenny,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I think he'd tell you otherwise.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17I think you're jealous that I got this job
0:33:17 > 0:33:21and I don't think you should blame Jenny for whatever happens to you.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Why would I do that? James?
0:33:30 > 0:33:34I told her about what you did to Gunnell. She had no choice.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59I've got a plan to spring Oskar out of chokey.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01You want in on it?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08You know, I knew a girl once called Whirly Tyson.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13She never stood for moping about.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Seriously McAloon. No pep talks please.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Not from a man who thinks the back of a lecture is a good place
0:34:20 > 0:34:22to catch up on his sleep.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26What am I supposed I do?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29The Whirly I know wouldn't give up on herself so easily.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33This Whirly Tyson will take a swing at you if you don't give it a rest.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39There you are. Good to see you again.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Now. Let me get this straight. They're trying to throw you out.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Trying to end your career before it's even started
0:34:48 > 0:34:51and you won't even go and see Legge and tell him what an arse he's being?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04DOGS BARK
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Hey!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Stop fighting! This is my first day!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Thank you. Come on.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29You're terrible, Ruaridh.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33They're my best.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Consider this scenario.
0:37:16 > 0:37:23A dog, four years old, a fine pedigree. Discharge from the eyes.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28Laboured breathing. Fever. Loss of appetite.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33With those signs, I...
0:37:33 > 0:37:36I would consider...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38parainfluenza.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Good. Good.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45Nothing else? Canine hepatitis? Leptospirosis?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Either might give those signs.- No.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I hadn't considered either of those.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Does Professor Gunnell have the answer
0:37:58 > 0:38:00written on his forehead, Mr Herriot?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02No, Professor.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Could there...? I mean hypothetically,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08could there have been an earlier fever in the animal?
0:38:08 > 0:38:09How long ago?
0:38:09 > 0:38:11A few days ago. But it passed.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14I see you have an idea by the tail, Mr Herriot.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Chase it, wrestle it to the ground, make a diagnosis.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19I'm not exactly sure.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24I think you are. I think there's a fear you do not wish to name.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Veterinary science, in part, is about looking into the eyes
0:38:27 > 0:38:30of the loving owner of an animal and naming that fear.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35We do not flinch from it. Out with it... Now, Mr Herriot!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Distemper?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Exactly so. Distemper.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45The scourge of dogdom. A vile disease.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59First you must test to confirm the diagnosis. Then...
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Aren't you coming too, Professor?
0:39:02 > 0:39:06No. Because I wouldn't get through those grand doors of theirs.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10Then, if it's confirmed, you give her this anti-serum,
0:39:10 > 0:39:12from the blood of a heavily vaccinated dog.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15It's a revolutionary treatment, just discovered.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Inject it into the flank.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Jenny will be there. She'll help.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26You must think on this, James.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30If a love is true, it will survive many a test.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34You mean, like Lady Muirhead's love for her dog? Or...
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Just remember what I said, eh?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It is distemper.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Oh no!
0:39:46 > 0:39:49But we can treat it. We've caught it early enough.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52In a healthy dog, to prevent the disease, we first give it
0:39:52 > 0:39:54the virus and then this anti-serum.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57But because Freda already has the disease,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00we only have to give her the anti-serum.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Mm hm. It's just a sample of blood from another animal.- Another animal?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- A mongrel?- Gosh. I hadn't thought about that.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11About what?
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Ah. Lady Muirhead, I understand your concerns for the bloodline,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18but this is just a transfusion.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22It really won't affect the pedigree, or any future progeny.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Do you expect me to betray generations of Muirheads,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28to destroy their work?
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Well, you won't be betraying anything.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36And surely this is a special case, because you love this dog?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Don't you?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Jenny, would you tell...?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Jenny, you're studying to become a vet.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Why should you even need to think about this?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57It's just not as simple as that.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Yes, it is. If we don't treat her, Freda will die.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04James, I thought you understood.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09The purity of the blood is the essence we have to protect.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Do you really think it's right and fair to make an animal suffer for your obsession?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I think we've heard enough from you, James.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Get away from that animal! Ruaridh!
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Hey, hey!- Jenny!
0:41:24 > 0:41:26James, try to understand!
0:41:26 > 0:41:32You have abused our friendship, James. Now you must leave.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34James, please?
0:41:44 > 0:41:49The misuse of lethal medication is a very grave matter, Miss Tyson.
0:41:49 > 0:41:55It was only fluid extract of ipecac root in glycerin and sugar syrup
0:41:55 > 0:41:58added to Professor Gunnell's port.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01I accept it was not the most mature thing to do.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06So it's hardly lethal, Professor.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09It sits in most medicine cabinets as a prevention for poisoning.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12It's valued for its power to induce vomiting.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Was this your intention?
0:42:17 > 0:42:22I am so sorry I lied.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25It just felt so small a thing.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Principal Legge, in every area of her study,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31she is a credit to the college.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37Be that as it may, I cannot let this matter go unpunished.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Indeed not.
0:42:39 > 0:42:46What I suggest is that we harness her tireless campaigning skills
0:42:46 > 0:42:50to our advantage. In exchange for a reprieve,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Miss Tyson will commit some of her time
0:42:53 > 0:42:55to raising funds for the college.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:43:21 > 0:43:26You were completely right about the Muirheads, Professor Richie.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29I had the means to save that animal in my hands.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32And she actively stopped you?
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Stood right between me and Freda.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39The worst thing is, Jenny took her side.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43Perhaps you can't blame Jenny for that, James.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47A woman like Lady Muirhead, and her terribly affable husband,
0:43:47 > 0:43:49will always tarnish those they cherish.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Professor? What are you doing?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58We're going to do the only thing appropriate to the situation, James.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02Refuse to take no for an answer.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06I demand to see Lady Muirhead!
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Have you managed to kill the animal yet?
0:44:10 > 0:44:13Did I not make it clear that you are not welcome here?
0:44:13 > 0:44:17Good sense is what isn't welcome here. Reason is not welcome.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Get out! Before I call the police.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Like your husband did to Mr Konstandt?
0:44:21 > 0:44:25That's the world you want, isn't it? Where a uniform solves it all
0:44:25 > 0:44:28and men like Oskar get what they deserve.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32A better world, Professor Richie. And make no mistake, it's coming.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36It's time you two left.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42Lady Muirhead, I never said any of this when Jenny was here.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45But you talk so much of pedigree and of purity...
0:44:45 > 0:44:47You hold your tongue, boy!
0:44:47 > 0:44:51Be very careful. You're on such thin ice here, Mr Herriot.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54But I know what I saw.
0:44:54 > 0:45:01I saw you and this man out there in the kennels, like animals.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04How dare you?!
0:45:04 > 0:45:05Verity...?
0:45:08 > 0:45:09Darling...
0:45:09 > 0:45:13I would be grateful if you could tell Mrs Chesham
0:45:13 > 0:45:16I'll not be dining tonight.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18I shall be staying at the club this evening.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20Wait, Douglas, wait!
0:45:35 > 0:45:39Well, I suppose that's one way of getting access to the patient.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Are you just going to stand there?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Mrs Munro?
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Oskar!
0:46:06 > 0:46:10Astonishing how much of a fuss can be made over a little fracas.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13I am again free man, Elspeth.
0:46:13 > 0:46:18All I had to do was warn the desk sergeant that my father is an MP.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22Which of course isn't true, but it seems if you say something
0:46:22 > 0:46:25with enough confidence that...
0:46:25 > 0:46:29Right, right. Yes, well, I suppose a little animal lust is appropriate.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I know a man in your position is rather busy, Wilfred.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38But it would mean a lot to my husband
0:46:38 > 0:46:42if you were to look into this. We have it on good authority
0:46:42 > 0:46:45there is a question over his refugee status.
0:46:48 > 0:46:54Yes. His name is Konstandt. Oskar Konstandt.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03Another fail! And by a country mile.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09Ah, Quintin! We need to have a word.
0:47:09 > 0:47:15Henry, in your absence and, as Vice-Principal, I made a decision.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Recognising both you and Professor Richie's misgivings
0:47:19 > 0:47:24about the Muirheads, I have refused their offer of a scholarship fund.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Mmm. Interesting.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Because my secretary tells me that Lady Muirhead telephoned
0:47:31 > 0:47:33to cancel the funding.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Henry.
0:47:38 > 0:47:44I appreciate that the Muirheads proved themselves beyond the pale.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46But I just was trying my best
0:47:46 > 0:47:50to keep this college financially viable.
0:47:50 > 0:47:55I know you were. And I applaud your tireless efforts.
0:47:56 > 0:48:02Quintin, I think you should know that Miss Tyson,
0:48:02 > 0:48:08an excellent student, is to remain at the college.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11But the hearing!
0:48:11 > 0:48:15I am persuaded she did nothing more than play a harmless prank on you.
0:48:19 > 0:48:20A prank!
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Do you think we got to her in time, professor?
0:48:33 > 0:48:36We'll see, James. We did all we could.
0:48:39 > 0:48:46I never thought that this job would be so complicated.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Well, you're beginning to see what makes a good vet.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03- Are the results up yet? - Any minute now.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Whirly?
0:49:18 > 0:49:22I have a whole list of things to apologise to you for.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25OK. Start anywhere you like.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34Legge changed his mind. I'm staying.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Whirly, that's great news!
0:49:40 > 0:49:44First year exam results. Here are the students who have passed.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- Yes!- No!
0:50:06 > 0:50:10Whirly, my name's not there.
0:50:27 > 0:50:28Jenny.
0:50:30 > 0:50:34I hope next term we can at least be friends.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36I failed my exams. I won't be coming back.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41I'm sorry. You would make a very good vet.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47But even if I was staying, I don't think I'll ever forget
0:50:47 > 0:50:51the look in your eyes when you stood between me and that suffering animal.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55Because some things are more important than dogs, cows and sheep.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01You still don't understand, do you?
0:51:03 > 0:51:04No.
0:51:12 > 0:51:16And I hope I never do.
0:51:16 > 0:51:17Goodbye, Jenny.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Don't you think you're being a little hasty, James?
0:51:36 > 0:51:38My family are not yours.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42They can't afford to keep me here when I fail exams.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I'm sorry. But it's true.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53So, what now?
0:51:55 > 0:51:58You head back home and do what exactly?
0:51:58 > 0:52:02Think about the brief spell of excitement you once had in the big city?
0:52:02 > 0:52:03I'll think of something.
0:52:03 > 0:52:07All the while remembering, as you get older and more and more bitter...
0:52:07 > 0:52:14Something more suited to my abilities.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22Perhaps you should think about doing the same.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26I did actually think about becoming an international playboy,
0:52:26 > 0:52:30but I'm not sure I have the capital to finance it.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Always the jokes, McAloon.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41We're going to miss you around here, James Herriot.
0:52:41 > 0:52:42James...
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Don't you think you should stay? At least until the morning?
0:52:51 > 0:52:58Sorry Mrs Munro, but if I do it this way,
0:52:58 > 0:53:00it's just less painful.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05You must come see us in America.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Not even a goodbye to Whirly?
0:53:11 > 0:53:15You do it for me. I sure she'll understand.
0:53:35 > 0:53:41So, America's a very big place. Where will you actually go?
0:53:41 > 0:53:47I have friend, artist. Not to my taste, too much old-fashioned,
0:53:47 > 0:53:51no heart, no fire. He thinks painting is...
0:53:53 > 0:53:57Anyways. He live in Brooklyn, in New York.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05DOORBELL RINGS Well, that would be something, eh, Mrs M?
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Gentlemen.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20KNOCKING ON DOOR Mrs Munro!
0:54:20 > 0:54:26Mr Konstandt? Mr Oskar Konstandt? We're from the Home Office.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Running out on me, Herriot?
0:54:31 > 0:54:32Whirly.
0:54:34 > 0:54:38What kind of fellow leaves without saying goodbye?
0:54:38 > 0:54:42The kind of fellow who can't pass his first term paper.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47- I failed.- No, you didn't.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49You saw the list.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51Gunnell messed it up.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55He didn't get all the exam papers back to the office.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57He passed you, James.
0:55:00 > 0:55:01You're staying!
0:55:04 > 0:55:06Oskar!
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- You can't do this! - We have a deportation order
0:55:09 > 0:55:12- against Mr Konstandt by authority of the Home Secretary.- Oskar!
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- Please help me!- Oskar! Where are you taking him?
0:55:15 > 0:55:18The arrangement concerning German refugees' status
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- is ratified by His Majesty's Government. - I insist you let this man go!
0:55:21 > 0:55:24I have rights!
0:55:24 > 0:55:27No! Please! Please!
0:55:34 > 0:55:35Oskar!
0:56:21 > 0:56:24I thought I'd find you here. Finish your drinks.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27- I need your help. - Professor, they took Oskar.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30I know. And you're all asking yourselves questions.
0:56:30 > 0:56:34But the answers aren't in here. They're out there in the world.
0:56:34 > 0:56:36And right now we've got a problem.
0:56:36 > 0:56:41Loxodonta Africana, patellar luxation.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43African elephant. Dislocated knee.
0:56:43 > 0:56:44She's at Bill Brothers' Circus.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46Sounds expensive.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51She weighs four tons so we need everyone pulling together. Now!
0:56:51 > 0:56:56Professor Richie, how, exactly, does an elephant dislocate its knee?
0:56:56 > 0:56:59That's a very good question, Mr Herriot.
