00:30So, I was about 30 miles south of Tobruk, dunes as far as the eye could see.
00:42Not the place you want to find yourself in a bind, let me tell you.
00:46And then, all of a sudden I feel it, the stab of a pistol in my back.
00:52You're kidding.
00:53Sadly not.
00:54My blood froze.
00:55What did you do?
00:58Nothing else to do.
00:59Turn around and face the enemy.
01:02And there he was, tall, mean, slobbering, he was only the bloody camel with my whip
01:10in his mouth, giving me a good prod.
01:11Tristan!
01:12I thought we were having a real one for once.
01:14That was a real one, honest to God.
01:16He wanted to get back to camp for breakfast.
01:18Gobbler, we called him.
01:20Hungriest camel in all of Tobruk.
01:22Look at this, quietest baby in all of Darabin.
01:25Should have picked you up from the bus stop more often.
01:29Uncle Tristan, happy to be of service.
01:35Are you stocking up for me, Mrs. H?
01:37You shouldn't have.
01:38Bars off, thank you.
01:39You have to make that stretch for all of us.
01:41And Mr. Carmody.
01:42Carmody's back?
01:43You didn't say anything.
01:44Well, I couldn't get a word in round the camels.
01:46See, we've gone to fetch you from the station.
01:49Before I forget, Mr. Crabtree were on earlier about a cow off its food.
01:53It wasn't urgent, was it?
01:55He said it could wait till morning.
01:57Well, it did sound concerned.
01:59Do I get to take a look now?
02:01Fancy lending a hand?
02:03Afraid not.
02:04I'd rather stay here.
02:05Put a face to the bowtie.
02:23Mr. Harriet.
02:24Thanks for coming.
02:25Mr. Crabtree.
02:27Hey, your herd's looking promising.
02:28Aye, building up again.
02:29Slowly but surely.
02:30Had some good healthy calves this year.
02:32That's excellent news.
02:35Down, boy.
02:36Down.
02:38See you got yourself a dog.
02:40Yeah, don't mind, Shep.
02:41He's a softie.
02:42Just has a taste for putting the wind up for it.
02:44Cheeky wee joker, eh?
02:46See, but a cow needs him.
02:48Rose?
02:49She won't eat.
02:50Can't work out why.
02:52It might be an oat, but I didn't want to leave it too long.
02:56Oh, don't worry.
02:57We'll get to the bottom of it.
03:01Pop them on the pile.
03:04Oh, and there's your clean shirts from last time.
03:06Up in your room.
03:07Yes, I saw.
03:11Also couldn't help but notice both beds were made up.
03:14Yes.
03:17Mr. Farnon didn't think you'd mind sharing with Mr. Carmody.
03:24Speak of the devil.
03:26Oh, here he is.
03:28How were your journey?
03:29Long.
03:30I'm very glad to be back, Mrs. Hall.
03:32How's Doncaster treating you?
03:33Yeah, not too shabbily.
03:34Putting the new recruits through their paces.
03:36Tristan Farnon, Richard Carmody.
03:38The famous Tristan Farnon.
03:40How do you do?
03:41Hello.
03:42My replacement we meet at last.
03:44Technically, I was James' replacement.
03:47Well, either way, congratulations on sticking it out with my brother.
03:51Many have tried, few survive.
03:53Can't see why that would be the case.
03:56Mr. Farnon's taught me a great deal.
03:57It's been extremely stimulating.
03:59Richard's just finished his finals in London.
04:02Ah, yes.
04:03Heard all about you Royal College chaps.
04:05I trust the celebrations were suitably debauched, eh?
04:08Not for me.
04:11Right, well, um...
04:12Well, we can remedy that later, I expect, in the drovers.
04:16If it's all the same, I've things to attend to here.
04:17Such as?
04:19I managed to get my hands on the bacteria I told you about from the university lab.
04:22Did you?
04:23Perhaps we could culture them together.
04:25I'd be delighted.
04:33Omnia probate, quad bonum tenete.
04:38Prove all things, hold fast that which is good.
04:44Hey, you could have warned me.
04:47Secretes multiplied, spawned a mini killjoy.
04:50Oh, give over.
04:52Reminder to keep the mind open.
04:54Might take a bit of getting used to, but he's not a killjoy.
04:58He chose bacteria over booze.
05:01Honestly, why do I feel like I'm about to spend my precious time off in a library?
05:05It won't be that bad.
05:06Easy for you to say.
05:07You don't have to share a room with the man.
05:21I can rule out traumatic reticulitis.
05:24She isn't wired.
05:26Any changes to her diet recently?
05:28No, she's had the same as always.
05:31She usually eats like a horse.
05:34Well, a cow with an appetite, anyway.
05:36Well, that could be her answer.
05:38If her eyes are bigger than her belly, it could be indigestion from overfeeding.
05:46So not so serious?
05:47Well, nothing a dose of linseed oil won't clear up.
05:50Start her on a couple of ounces.
05:53She should be much brighter by the morning.
05:55Fingers crossed.
05:57Thank you, Miss Harriet.
06:08When did cribbage become all the rage?
06:10I had to find something you couldn't cheat at.
06:12A rot.
06:13You can play next. I'm about to thrash Richard.
06:15No, thanks. All Greek to me.
06:17Why don't you fetch another game?
06:19Perhaps, or even better,
06:21we could venture across the square for a nightcap.
06:24Escape the clutches of the pipe and slippers.
06:27I'll hand you on me rounds, I'm afraid.
06:31Early start.
06:33Jim, you'll be wanting his feed.
06:35Prepare three for the run.
06:37Siegfried?
06:38Yes?
06:39Muggins!
06:40What? To play Muggins rules, you must declare Muggins rules.
06:42Muggins rules are always in play with experienced opponents.
06:44It's just me, then.
06:45Clearly miscounted your points. You missed two.
06:47Enjoy yourself.
06:48I was distracted by Tristan.
06:50Which means they're mine.
06:51Oh, you wretch.
06:52I demand a replay.
06:53That's against the rules.
06:54I don't care.
06:55Cheat.
07:01It's all right. It's all right.
07:03It's only me. Don't bark.
07:05Don't bark.
07:06Siegfried will have my guts forgotten.
07:10Good.
07:11Night, night. Sleep well.
07:13Oh!
07:16Great.
07:17Put that there.
07:31Oh!
07:32Wrong bed!
07:33Shh, shh, shh.
07:34You...
07:35You're in the cupboard.
07:37Does it look like it?
07:38I couldn't see you in the dark.
07:39Why are we shouting in the middle of the night?
07:43He has commandeered my bed.
07:45It was mine before.
07:46It's in my room and in my house.
07:47Oh, for God's sake, why haven't you sorted this out before?
07:50He vanished off to the pub.
07:52I've been stuck in military bunks for months.
07:54I've earned the sweet embrace of my own bed.
07:56No, it's logical I have it since I work here covering the night calls.
08:00How's that logical?
08:01If you'll be out at night, you'll be barely in it.
08:03Says the man rolling in at one in the morning.
08:05Well...
08:06Enough!
08:09What do you suggest, Mr Farman?
08:11You're grown men.
08:13I suggest you resolve it amongst yourselves.
08:17Quietly.
08:41SNORING
08:49Oh!
08:50Tristan was happy enough when he shared with James.
08:53Well, he was still a student then.
08:55And Richard's so amenable, once you get to know him.
08:59Might Tristan be feeling a bit left out?
09:05No, no, that's not it.
09:08Right.
09:09Anyway, I told them to sort it out themselves.
09:39MUSIC CONTINUES
09:58Do excuse me, Matron, could you repeat that?
10:02And you're absolutely sure?
10:05Oh.
10:07Sorry about the racket last night, Mrs H.
10:09Not to worry.
10:11I got back to sleep soon enough.
10:13I should apologise too.
10:15I'm sorry Tristan almost crushed me to death,
10:17thus causing the entire house to wake up.
10:19Richard, you ought to go up to the manor fast as you can.
10:21Well, is it tricky?
10:22No, it's a snake.
10:23That's an exotic addition for Mrs Bumfrey.
10:25Smuggled in from abroad, apparently, by one of the soldiers.
10:28The house has been requisitioned.
10:30There's an armoured convalescent to him.
10:32What's wrong with the snake?
10:33Nothing. It's on the loose.
10:35Goodness.
10:36Yes, it caused quite a stir out there.
10:38I can imagine.
10:39The Matron didn't know who else to turn to.
10:41Well, I'm delighted she turned to us.
10:43I adore snakes.
10:46Ever seen one in the wild?
10:48Only the odd adder. You?
10:50Yeah, Cairo's teeming with them.
10:53Let's go and find the rascal, then.
10:55I'm afraid I have a full list in surgery.
10:57Let me know how you get on.
10:59Hmm.
11:01It's a big house.
11:02Might be something of a snake in a haystack.
11:06Triss will help.
11:09Will I?
11:10Well, it sounds like you're familiar with snakes.
11:12Only in a very loose, general sense.
11:14Also, he doesn't work here anymore.
11:15Yes, I don't work here anymore. There is that.
11:17I wouldn't call it work. More of a favour.
11:19Give you two the chance to get to know each other better, won't it?
11:22I think we've got a good grasp of that already, thanks to the close quarters.
11:25I couldn't possibly impose.
11:27You wouldn't be, would he, Tristan?
11:33Not at all, Mrs H.
11:36Happy to help.
11:57Did you manage to get a good look at it?
11:59Thankfully not.
12:00I'm only going off what the lads have told me.
12:02Which is?
12:03That it slithers about the ward, under the beds and such.
12:07By the time anyone's dared to try and catch it,
12:09it's made itself scarce.
12:11Makes me come over all peculiar, even thinking about it.
12:14I don't suppose you've gleaned a description of its size or markings?
12:17No, I haven't.
12:18I haven't.
12:19I haven't.
12:20I haven't.
12:21I haven't.
12:22I haven't.
12:23I haven't.
12:24I haven't.
12:25I haven't.
12:27And any drawing of its size or markings?
12:29I'm rushed off me feet, Love.
12:30Snake-sized, it's the best I can do.
12:32Snakes come in a very wide variety of sizes and species
12:35Leave it with us.
12:37We'll give the place a thorough sweep.
12:39You'll be out of your hair in no time.
12:42If that thing gets anywhere near my hair, you'll know about it.
12:49Right, I propose we attempt to think like a snake.
12:53For goodness' sake.
12:54Now, where would we choose to hide?
12:56Warm and secluded, no doubt.
12:59Best of luck with that.
13:00I'll see you later.
13:01You can't wriggle out of it now.
13:03We promised to find the snake.
13:05There isn't one.
13:06She's only got the lad's word for it,
13:08which means she's having her leg pulled.
13:10Ingest.
13:14Where are you going?
13:15Find somewhere warm and secluded.
13:18Have a nap.
13:19Enjoy the wild goose chase.
13:26Where are all the beds?
13:57Hello, Mrs. Pumphrey.
13:59Mr. Farnon, how wonderful to see you.
14:03You're quite well, I hope.
14:05Oh, fighting fit, yeah. Thank you.
14:07I'm relieved to hear it.
14:13Looking for something?
14:15I've lost a painting I'm very fond of.
14:18It's a landscape of the Moors rendered in oils.
14:21They must have moved it.
14:23Don't they need to ask permission for that?
14:25Unfortunately not.
14:27Every time my backs turn,
14:29something's been moved or rearranged.
14:32Must be a challenge,
14:34sharing your house with strangers.
14:36It's a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things,
14:39but I did try to take up the matter with Matron yesterday.
14:43She barely paid me any heed at all.
14:45Preoccupied with the snake, I should imagine.
14:50The snake.
14:52There's a snake.
14:56Well, that's debatable.
15:13Hello there.
15:26Hello.
15:28Hello there. Sorry to disturb.
15:30Are you looking for someone?
15:32Yes. Well, no, not a person exactly.
15:36Don't suppose you've seen a snake?
15:38No.
15:40Sure?
15:41I think I'd remember.
15:43It'd definitely liven the place up a bit.
15:45Quite.
15:47So you've palled up with Tricky?
15:49He's anyone's for food.
15:51He's good company, though.
15:54Dickens fan, are you?
15:56It's like wading through treacle.
15:59I thought I was the only person who felt that way.
16:01I was as old as this bleeding house.
16:04What would be more to your taste?
16:06Can't beat a good swashbuckler.
16:08How about you?
16:09Scientific periodicals, mostly.
16:12Well, each to their own.
16:15Yes.
16:17Anyway, I should go.
16:19This snake you're after,
16:22could it be venomous or whatever?
16:25Depends on the species.
16:27Quite a few types, however.
16:29Approximately 4,000 worldwide.
16:31And did you know they're the second largest group of reptiles after lizards?
16:35Oh, Natron.
16:36Mrs. Pomfrey.
16:38Any luck finding that painting you're after?
16:40Not yet, no, but more worryingly,
16:42Mr. Farnham's just told me about our unusual encounter.
16:46But more worryingly, Mr. Farnham's just told me about our uninvited guest.
16:53Nothing to report as yet, but we're leaving no stone unturned.
16:57You didn't think I should know?
16:59I didn't know you were here.
17:00Well, I am, as is Tricky,
17:03who I imagine looks quite tasty to a reptile on the prowl.
17:08He could be in danger.
17:10We can't just have people coming and going willy-nilly.
17:12This is a hospital.
17:13It's Tricky's home.
17:15Just at the minute, it isn't.
17:17Ah, now, I should just...
17:19And if you wouldn't mind looking for my painting, Natron,
17:24I'd be extremely grateful.
17:26Mrs. Pomfrey, I'm trying to make the best of being overworked and understaffed.
17:31The painting will have to wait.
17:36We should really fetch Tricky, um, just to be on the safe side.
17:40We could split up, take a ward each.
17:43Yes, good thinking.
17:45Um, you'd better start with the library.
17:48Unless you have any objection, Natron.
17:52Not at all. Be my guest.
18:02Oh!
18:03Oh, you wee scoundrel.
18:05They never got you in again.
18:06Oh, shame to admit it.
18:10Rose has improved, I hope.
18:12I gave her that linseed oil, like you said, but she's not too clever still.
18:16Morning.
18:18Hello, Mr. Ugly.
18:20Mr. Harriet.
18:21It's a stoppage.
18:23You can tell a mile off.
18:25Still thanking your lucky stars, I'll bet.
18:28Feeling any better?
18:31I'm grand, thank you.
18:33So that's the trouble, then? A stoppage?
18:36Oh, there could be some kind of obstruction, yes.
18:39With digestive troubles that are often notoriously difficult to diagnose.
18:42She just needs a right good gallop.
18:45My father swore by it.
18:47Best way with a stoppage.
18:49Well, don't let us hold you up.
18:51Cheerio.
18:58I'll try a lavage first.
19:00If there's something blocking her up, it'll get things moving along.
19:03So, no galloping, then?
19:05No galloping.
19:06He means well, but it's an old wave still.
19:08It's not veterinary advice.
19:12So my mate Ronald's inside the tank, minding his own business,
19:16when he hears this rattling sound.
19:19No.
19:20Yeah. Damn thing's only got inside and made itself at home.
19:23A rattlesnake in a tank? Their venom's deadly.
19:25He should have seen them come jumping out.
19:27I've never known men move so fast.
19:31Sounds like you've had quite the adventure over there.
19:33I never had a mind to travel before,
19:35but it's certainly opened my eyes.
19:38What was the best part?
19:40I couldn't get enough of the heat.
19:42And the food.
19:44Some of the sights were out of this world.
19:47But the best part...
19:49was probably this.
19:52My ticket back here.
19:54To see my girlfriend and my family.
19:57Don't get me wrong, I accepted my lot.
19:59I did my duty. You have to.
20:02But the truth is,
20:04everyone out there is just...
20:06counting the days...
20:08till it's time to come home.
20:15If you don't mind me asking,
20:17how did you come to be injured?
20:24Lieutenant Farnham. Good to meet you.
20:26And you, sir. Private Harry Tucker.
20:28Sorry if Mr. Carmely's bombarded you with questions.
20:32Weren't you taking it easy?
20:34Yes, I was. But Mrs. Pumphrey wants Tricky back.
20:38He'd clearly rather stay with Harry.
20:40You'll keep an eye on him, won't you?
20:42Of course. Fine.
20:44Good. Yes.
20:46But you're telling Mrs. Pumphrey, and believe me,
20:48she's not in a pleasant mood.
20:50Tricky?
20:52He went that way.
20:54Nice to meet you.
20:58I'm sorry.
21:08Carmely!
21:18There! There!
21:20Gotcha!
21:23Why is he so feisty all of a sudden?
21:25He's bonded with Harry.
21:27Seems to be a great comfort.
21:29That's why I wanted him to stay.
21:31Harry's got him hooked on tidbits, more like.
21:33Have you got a decent hold?
21:35Yes. He's not a great Dane.
21:49I were hoping to bit your brains, Mr. Bosworth.
21:52I'm in need of a mattress.
21:54I don't suppose you've got one to spare in donations?
21:58But only if you're sure it's spare.
22:00I'd hate to take something I shouldn't.
22:04Oh, thank you very much.
22:06That'll be James.
22:08Now, is there any chance someone could bring it round today?
22:11Hello there, wee man.
22:13Hello.
22:15Look who it is. Mummy's coming.
22:17Yes, she is.
22:19Hello.
22:21Good morning.
22:23Morning, Jane.
22:25Sid Crabtree's got a cow with a blockage, I think.
22:27I'm going to have to head up after lunch.
22:29Did you flush her out?
22:31Twice. No change.
22:33Oh, well, it's time yet.
22:35Like watch pups are cows.
22:37I know, but Sid can't afford to lose another animal.
22:39I want to get it right.
22:41What makes you think you won't?
22:43The postman said I should give her a gallop.
22:46Mr. Oakley? Aye.
22:48Well, he thrives off telling folk what to do.
22:50I know, but Sid was quite anxious.
22:52He's starting to think I'm not being thorough.
22:54Well, give the cow a gallop, then.
22:56You'd try it?
22:58Well, if it's what he wants, he'd put his mind at rest.
23:00It's his cow.
23:02It could be rather satisfying to prove Oakley wrong.
23:05Especially when it doesn't make any difference.
23:07Oh, two birds, one stone.
23:09Eh?
23:11It's two birds, one stone.
23:13LAUGHTER
23:23No, it's no good.
23:25Stuck fast.
23:27We might have to try and shin out of the window.
23:29Locked, I believe.
23:31No sign of a key.
23:39Well, let's hope someone passes by.
23:41Who?
23:43This is hardly a thoroughfare.
23:45Mrs. Pumphrey's already looking for Tricky.
23:47She won't rest till she finds him.
23:53Yeah.
24:01You know, it was rude of you to interrupt my conversation with Harry.
24:05You asked him outright how he was injured.
24:08What's wrong with that?
24:10Everything.
24:12He might not want to relive what happened.
24:14But I asked and he was quite happy.
24:16Well, why don't we try?
24:18Just sit in quietly for a moment, hmm?
24:23Oh...
24:28Mr. Farnham?
24:30About that snake...
24:32Oh, for the last time, it doesn't exist!
24:35You might want to reconsider that hypothesis,
24:38as he seems rather determined to prove you otherwise.
24:44Mm-hm.
24:46Mm-hm.
24:57Good old Mr. Bosworth.
24:59Much more comfy.
25:01Any sign of James?
25:03Not since before. Why?
25:05He's been struggling with the Crabtree's cow.
25:08He seemed a bit out of sorts about it.
25:10Well, I don't mind having Jimmy, if you want to go.
25:14No, I can't give you another job.
25:16Jimmy's not a job.
25:18He is my favourite.
25:20I insist.
25:22Well, let me give you a hand shifting this upstairs first.
25:25No, don't you worry.
25:27I won't be shifting it.
25:29Perhaps I've Mr. Farnham made himself useful.
25:33Mm-hm.
25:35Isn't he?
25:40What a magnificent specimen.
25:43Mm-hm. Breathtaking.
25:46Led us on quite the merry dance, haven't you, Mr. Python?
25:50We'll be safe and warm in here.
25:52That's it.
25:55Make sure we can't get out.
26:06I'm beginning to understand why you didn't want to look for him.
26:10I put it down to laziness, but it was something else entirely.
26:13Makes perfect sense now.
26:15The last thing I am, Carmody, is lazy.
26:17You're a paedophobic.
26:19Petrified of snakes.
26:21I'm not petrified of anything.
26:26I just avoid them at all costs.
26:29How does one manage that in Egypt?
26:31With great difficulty.
26:33Anyway, don't tell me you're an expert, are you?
26:35Nothing of the kind.
26:37This is the first python I've seen in the flesh.
26:40Read lots about them, though.
26:43Well...
26:46Catching it, that was...
26:48That was brave.
27:00She's no better, but she's no worse either, and that's a good sign.
27:04What now, then?
27:06Well, the lavage is still making its way through her system.
27:09Let's wait a little longer before we do anything else.
27:13She'll come, right? You'll see.
27:15I'm glad she's in your hands, Mr Harriot.
27:19I've been wondering, erm...
27:22Might not be my place to ask, though.
27:24Go on.
27:26I hope it wasn't anything too serious.
27:29Whatever it was that got you sent home.
27:32Oh, erm...
27:34It was brucellosis, actually.
27:36Not from here?
27:38Could have been.
27:40Sorry, I didn't know.
27:43It's not your fault.
27:45It was just a fever every now and then.
27:47Nothing of any consequence, really.
27:49Unless you happen to be flying planes, of course.
27:52Anything doing?
27:54Not yet.
27:56While I finish my round,
27:58I'm ready and willing to gallop her for you.
28:01No charge.
28:04It's up to you.
28:06She's OK, Mr Clubshoe.
28:11All right, yeah. Go on. Let's give it a go.
28:20Mrs Pumphrey's taking her time.
28:24She'll find us.
28:26As long as she hasn't been speaking to the matron again,
28:29got herself thrown out.
28:31Why would she do that?
28:33She hasn't been making herself very popular.
28:36Not happy sharing the place.
28:44And she might not be the only one who's been territorial.
28:50Am I about to find out I've done something wrong again?
28:54I meant me.
28:57Perhaps I overreacted very slightly
29:01about the room.
29:04I apologise.
29:09And I apologise for taking your bed without asking.
29:12Harry told me a little about how eager he was to return home.
29:17I must admit, I'd only considered the logic of the matter before,
29:20not the feelings you might have about it.
29:22As I said, slight overreaction.
29:26I'm in your way. I'll find somewhere else.
29:29I did intend to offer, but...
29:31I confess, I've grown rather fond of the place.
29:35Skeldale tends to have that effect on people.
29:39It does.
29:44My parents...
29:47spent most of the year abroad.
29:49So I grew up in boarding school.
29:52It's been novel to put roots down somewhere.
30:00Then you'll stay.
30:02And we'll share.
30:05Only if you're sure.
30:07I'm sure.
30:12That's if we ever manage to escape, of course.
30:15Yes, I've had an idea about that.
30:17Oh, really?
30:19An ingenious plan? Come on then, let's hear it.
30:23Help!
30:27Help!
30:29Help!
30:44That'll do it. Mark my words.
30:46Reckon we'll let James be the judge of that.
30:49Well, have a look. I'm not wrong.
30:57Easy. Easy.
31:05No, it can't be. Has it made it worse?
31:08No, no.
31:10She actually sounds surprisingly good.
31:13There now. What did I tell you?
31:22I promise you it was the timing, not Mr Oakley.
31:25He must have galloped to us at the precise moment the lavage took effect.
31:28You're all right, Mr Elliott. I know you put the effort in.
31:31She's on the main day anyway, and that's what matters.
31:35I reckon things turned out for the best, don't you?
31:37The galloping?
31:38Brucellosis.
31:40We're both lucky in a way.
31:42Lucky?
31:43They've had some good care of it.
31:45See you next time, Mr Crabtree.
31:47See you next time.
31:50Don't! Get away with you! Get away!
31:56God, you've frightened the life out of me. I'm sorry.
32:00Are you all right?
32:02The ship lifts the pounce on people.
32:05I should have expected it. It's silly, really.
32:08I didn't mean to scare him.
32:10Where's Jimmy, anyway? Is he with his Auntie Jenny?
32:13With his all.
32:15So you could take me to the drovers on the way home, if you like.
32:17I can, can't I?
32:19I reckon you've earned a breather.
32:21I'm fine.
32:22Good for you.
32:24I've had Jimmy, laundry and Tristan's bed to contend with,
32:27so I'm having a drink.
32:29And I'm not arguing.
32:36Help! Help!
32:38Ricky!
32:40Mrs Pumphrey.
32:43Mrs Pumphrey.
32:45Look at this.
32:46Oh, Tricky.
32:48I could hear you miles away.
32:51Who's being murdered?
32:52No-one.
32:54We were trapped. The handle broke.
32:56Tricky didn't want to leave the ward, so ran in here to hide.
32:59Oh, dear. He does take his duties very seriously.
33:02Maybe he could smell that dreadful snake
33:04and led you as far away from it as possible.
33:09Or the opposite, in fact.
33:13Is it real?
33:14Oh, definitely real.
33:16Oh, Tricky.
33:18I'm so sorry.
33:21Would you like to meet him?
33:26You see, he might look frightening, but he's harmless.
33:30Just a long way from home.
33:32In need of somewhere warm to lurk.
33:34Rather misunderstood, I suppose.
33:36When you put it that way, he doesn't seem so dreadful after all.
33:41Just trying to make sense of where he's ended up, poor thing.
33:46You're quite all right, Mr Farnham.
33:48Fine. Put the lid back on.
33:53You must be exhausted after your ordeal in that room.
33:57Leave Mason to me. I'll give her the good news.
34:00We don't mind saving you the bother.
34:03Don't look so worried. I intend to be civil.
34:07Very wise.
34:09You take care of yourself, Tricky.
34:12Be sure to keep the lid on that box, Mr Carmody.
34:17Goodbye, dear boys.
34:21Come on then, Mr Python.
34:24Let's get you back to the surgery.
34:27Wait, what? He's staying here, isn't he?
34:33Did something else happen?
34:35No.
34:36I wanted to do a good job for Mr Crabtree.
34:39It was frustrating, but we got there in the end.
34:43We don't shut each other out, James.
34:46I'm not.
34:51All right, there was one thing, but it was barely worth mentioning.
34:57Him and Oakley, they both said I was lucky not to have got brucellosis.
35:03Well, you were, I suppose.
35:05Very.
35:07That one visit could have changed everything.
35:12You don't agree?
35:15I'm not sure, to be honest.
35:18Well, you were sent home before you finished your training.
35:21That's fortunate in anyone's book.
35:23The training's as dangerous as the real thing.
35:26Certainly felt that way when my crew was shot down.
35:30Are you ever sad?
35:34I didn't want to frighten you.
35:36In case I flew again.
35:38Still.
35:39It's all right.
35:51Would it help if you told me about it now?
35:59No.
36:05I've made my peace with it.
36:12I'm so sorry, James.
36:16We should go.
36:18Home?
36:19Not just yet.
36:21There's something I want to take care of first.
36:30Mrs. Pumphrey.
36:32They're taking it down to make room for a notice board.
36:35Turns out they put it into storage for safekeeping.
36:38Oh, don't tell me it's the wrong one.
36:40Oh, no, it's perfect.
36:44Caretaker found it, not me.
36:47We've both found ourselves in rather trying circumstances, haven't we?
36:52Not quite what we planned, but we forge ahead as best we can.
36:56You're doing an excellent job for these men.
36:59I'm sorry if I've made things more difficult.
37:04I might have been too brusque before.
37:06But I'm not myself with that snake creeping about.
37:09It puts me right on edge.
37:10Oh, well, you'll be glad to hear that it's been apprehended and removed.
37:14Oh.
37:15I might finally sleep tonight, then.
37:19I'll be sure to give you notice in future.
37:21I didn't mean to be a nuisance.
37:23Mrs Pumphrey.
37:25The lads think the world are tricky.
37:28And it's obvious that you care about them a great deal.
37:31Yes, I do.
37:33I always wanted this house to be a haven for them.
37:36I just didn't quite realise I'd have to move out as part of the bargain.
37:43This is my father's work.
37:46It's a view from the house where I grew up.
37:50Oh, you didn't grow up here, then?
37:52Oh, goodness me, no.
37:55I was such a fish out of water when I first arrived.
37:58But this picture was always a piece of home.
38:02I think I'll take it back to the cottage with me.
38:06I hope it helps you to feel more settled.
38:10I'm sure it will.
38:12Come on, darling.
38:22Come on.
38:39There you go.
38:40Sorry I gave you a fright.
38:45Come on, Shep.
38:47Look what James has bought you.
38:49It's juicy and delicious.
38:51Hey, boy.
38:54Do you think I've broken his spirit?
39:12I think his spirit's doing just fine.
39:17I've named him Schrodinger after the thought experiment
39:20because he was existent and non-existent simultaneously.
39:23I see.
39:25A private joke.
39:27Although I definitely preferred the non-existent version.
39:30Which is why I'm putting my foot down.
39:32He's not coming anywhere near the bedroom.
39:34I'd be willing to negotiate on that.
39:39All right.
39:40I suppose you can keep my bed in exchange for no snake.
39:44Done.
39:51What's so funny?
39:54I was pulling your leg in jest.
39:59For entertainment.
40:01He won't be living in our room.
40:03That would be ridiculous.
40:05Well, then I take back what I said about the bed.
40:07Have a look at this.
40:09Could that be the beginnings of scale rot?
40:13We'll have to treat it topically.
40:16Keep him clean and dry until he's recovered.
40:19Mrs. Hall, there you are.
40:21You'll be pleased to hear that peace seems to have broken out.
40:24Unaided.
40:26That's lovely news.
40:27Isn't it?
40:29I only have one question.
40:30How did you end up in the manor together?
40:33Mrs. Hall insisted Tristan helped.
40:36Is that so?
40:39All's well that ends well.
40:42I think I'd better move Vonnell upstairs,
40:44just in case this one gets peckish.
40:47Would you give us a hand?
40:55Sorry.
41:01I'm sorry I made a fuss.
41:03I'm sorry for not being a better referee.
41:07Still,
41:09Mrs. Hall seems to have acquired a mattress.
41:11We'll be queuing out to sleep in the cupboard now.
41:16She didn't need to go through any trouble.
41:17No, I said that.
41:19But she's got this huge soft spot, you see.
41:28I kept it empty for a year.
41:31Your room.
41:35I thought you ought to know.
41:39I'm sorry.
41:52At one point, I thought he was going to throw it around his neck like a scarf.
41:55His face was priceless.
41:58How did the pair of soldiers come?
41:59Luckily, they didn't see the snake.
42:01But Harry was tickled when Tricky gave us the slip.
42:03Who's Harry?
42:04Served in the 5th Tank Regiment.
42:06Injured in North Africa.
42:08I'm sorry to hear that.
42:10It was inspiring hearing about his travels and adventures.
42:14Sounds like an interesting chap.
42:16He was.
42:18He made me wonder if I should follow in his footsteps.
42:22And join a tank regiment?
42:24You couldn't see me driving one?
42:27Richard, it took three people to teach you to drive a car.
42:30I had plenty of strength if I were you.
42:32Stick with the vetting.
42:33That's how you do your bit.
42:36Probably not the best idea I ever had.
42:38I can confidently say it's the worst, my friend.
42:41No offence.
42:45Untaken.
42:54Here's to an undisturbed night.
42:56Thanks to you.
42:58No, I didn't do much.
43:00No.
43:01Just smoothed the waters.
43:03Encouraged a friendship.
43:05Pulled my head out of a large pile of sand.
43:08Thank you for your efforts.
43:18I do like it when the house is full.
43:20And happy.
43:22So do I.
43:24Although, where are we keeping the snake?
43:31Carmody will find a zoo to help us with that.
43:41Oh, Mrs. Hall's an angel.
43:44This bed is utter bliss.
43:46Nice try, but it won't work.
43:49What?
43:51You're trying to fool me into thinking that grass is greener.
43:54But we shook on our deal fair and square.
43:56It was completely underhand and you know it.
43:58If you don't mind, I really do need to get some sleep.
44:05In spite of everything,
44:07I rather enjoyed our escapade.
44:11Yeah, same here.
44:15You could say you've grown on me.
44:18Like bacteria.
44:20Like bacteria.
44:22Exactly.
44:27Good night, Tristan.
44:29Good night, Richard.
44:36I will find a way.
44:39To get my bed back.
44:42I'd expect nothing less.
44:46May the best man win.
44:47Ha ha ha.
45:17You
