01:00sounds like the carburetor
01:09yes I'm aware of that
01:11..she's not cooperating
01:14try again tomorrow
01:19Give this to Audrey
01:23is there any message
01:25she'll know what it's for
01:30Maggie asked me to give you this.
01:38Oh, thank you.
01:40Aren't you going to open it?
01:44I'll do it later.
01:47Ingredients have been on the ground and I'll have a christening cake once icing.
01:50Is Mr. Bosworth aware of these clandestine dealings?
01:52I can assure you everything is strictly above board.
01:56I've just called in a favour, that's all.
01:58Someone's traiped mud off through the hallway.
02:00Swept it twice today.
02:02Here, let me do it. You've got cake to make.
02:04I might retire to my office before someone tidies me away.
02:08I'll be working on my speech if anyone needs me.
02:12Speech?
02:24Oh, your parents not with you?
02:25Oh, they're just getting settled at the B&B in there. I'll bring them over.
02:27Oh.
02:28You don't see me going to all this trouble for your dad, do you?
02:30Oh, that's different. I hardly ever see him.
02:33I'm just the girl that dragged you away from Glasgow.
02:36Corrupted me. Lured me to the dark side.
02:40I bet they were excited to see you.
02:42They're not interested in me. It's you and Jimmy they've come to see.
02:46Oh, talk of his lordship.
02:49Did you tell Siegfried he could write a speech?
02:52He said it was part of his godparent duties.
02:55I'll talk to him.
02:56And say what?
02:57Tell him to keep it brief.
02:59Siegfried, we're talking about.
03:05Carmen in!
03:06Carmen!
03:11He's still not back from his exam.
03:12Yes, yes.
03:14Darragh, B2 to 97.
03:16Mr Biggins.
03:18How's that nanny goat doing?
03:22Really?
03:23We should have seen a marked improvement by now.
03:26Yes, I understand. I'll be with you as soon as I can.
03:30Problem?
03:31Bad case of lumpy jaw. He's had me out there twice already.
03:34You'll have to go for me, I'm afraid.
03:36Why?
03:37Because I'm likely to end up doing a stretch in Wormwood Scrubs
03:40if I have to spend another second in that man's company.
03:42If it was any other time, Siegfried, but with my parents.
03:45Well, that's a convenient excuse, don't you think?
03:52Everything all right?
03:54Biggins.
03:56Has he mentioned the gates yet?
03:58You know he's got seven gates.
04:00Seven?
04:01One after each of the deadly sins, no doubt.
04:03He's run me ragged with his constant vacillation, but not this time.
04:07I meant to ask, how are you getting along with the speech for the christening?
04:12Oh, I'm rather pleased with it, actually.
04:15And how long is it exactly?
04:18This is the beginning of Jimmy's spiritual journey, James.
04:22I take my role as godparent very seriously.
04:27As do I.
04:29But I shan't be doing his speech.
04:31And for that we'll be eternally grateful.
04:34Right, I should fetch my parents.
04:36They're chomping at the bit to see Jimmy.
04:49Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
04:53Thank you, sir.
05:18Can I help you?
05:19Telegram for Mr Farnon?
05:21But Mr Farnon?
05:40Is that them?
05:41No, you're all right.
05:51Come on.
05:52Come on.
06:19You want to get that carburetor seen to?
06:23I see you still haven't got round to fixing that gate.
06:25Helps keep undesirables out.
06:28As opposed to keeping them in.
06:30I think you'd better take me straight to your goat, Mr Biggins.
06:33Does this mean I'll get my money back, on account of you misdiagnosing, like?
06:37I'm perfectly confident in my diagnosis.
06:39It's funny how it always ends up with me having to part with my hard-earned cash.
06:50All right.
06:53All right. All right.
07:01Are you absolutely sure you administered the sulfanilamide as prescribed?
07:04Aye.
07:06Exactly as you said.
07:08Then we'll need to increase the dose.
07:11Sounds expensive.
07:14Would you get her some fresh straw, please? She'll need somewhere comfortable to sleep.
07:18Oh, David.
07:22Don't worry, old thing.
07:25Soon I'll have you grazing again.
07:28There we are.
07:31Oh, come and give your granny a big hug.
07:36It's lovely to see you both.
07:39He's gotten so big since we last saw him.
07:42Aye, he's a bonnie wee thing.
07:44He's a bit grisly tonight.
07:46Tearing a bit.
07:47Oh, it's too early for that.
07:49He'll be wanting a feed, poor mate.
07:52If I give him any more milk, he'll burst. Aye?
07:55Nonsense. He's a growing boy.
07:59He's like you, son. He's got a big appetite.
08:02Does your mummy not feed you?
08:05A perfect timing, Mrs H.
08:08Mr and Mrs Harriet.
08:10I trust you had a pleasant journey?
08:12Aye. No complaints.
08:15Do you need a hand?
08:19What time is the christening tomorrow?
08:21Midday.
08:23Oh, I can't wait.
08:24Is everything alright, Audrey?
08:26Of course.
08:30The scones are fresh out the oven.
08:34Tea?
08:35Yes, please.
08:39Oh, it's lovely.
08:41Well, it's very tasty.
08:44You want to hold on to this one, son?
08:47Oh, I can't take the credit, I'm afraid.
08:49It's all Audrey's handiwork.
08:54The flowers are all down to Helen.
08:56Picked them fresh for you this morning.
09:06What's that there?
09:07Stimulant injection.
09:09Won't give her the boost she needs.
09:10Nay, she just needs some iodine.
09:12We've been through this, Mr Biggins.
09:14Iodine is of no use to your goat.
09:16Yeah, you and your newfangled powders.
09:18Some kind of commission, are you?
09:19I wouldn't be a competent veterinary surgeon
09:21if I prescribed something as antiquated as iodine.
09:23Expensive things, them injections.
09:25How much is that going to cost me?
09:26I honestly don't know.
09:27Oh, you'll know, alright?
09:28When you get a pen in your hand,
09:29send me that big bill, won't you?
09:32Alright, alright.
09:37There we are.
09:39Right.
09:40Right.
09:41All we can do now is pray.
09:43You're going to charge me for that as well?
09:46Take this, and if it doesn't work, I won't charge you.
09:49How does that sound?
09:51I suppose.
09:54Now, perhaps you'd be so good as to help me with the gate.
09:56You're joking, aren't you?
09:57You'd probably think it's a death trap.
10:02My mother swore blind
10:04by Mrs Winslow's soothing syrup.
10:07Later proven to contain dangerous levels of morphine.
10:13One last kiss from Granny before we go.
10:17He's looking tired.
10:18Oh, don't let that face fool you.
10:20I'll have us up till the early hours.
10:22Routine's the key.
10:23James used to go down like clockwork.
10:25Not so much as a peep out of him until morning.
10:28Don't listen to her.
10:29If I set her lungs on him, it could wake the dead.
10:32Why don't you come round after breakfast?
10:34We'll take Jimmy for a walk round Derby.
10:36I would like that.
10:38Goodnight, son.
10:41Goodnight.
10:43See you tomorrow.
10:44Goodnight.
10:45Night.
10:49That wasn't so bad, was it?
11:07Ah.
11:09How are Mr Biggins?
11:10Insufferable, as ever.
11:13All I want to do is pour myself a whisky and lie in a hot bath.
11:16Mr Farnham...
11:17Are we still playing host to the Scottish contingent?
11:19A telegram arrived.
11:21It's addressed to you.
11:25I see.
11:28James and Ellen are putting Jimmy to bed,
11:30so you won't be disturbed.
11:31Thank you, Mrs Hall.
12:01He's coming home.
12:20He's coming home.
12:26What is it? Is it...?
12:31Home tomorrow.
12:34Is that it?
12:35Well, Tristan's never been one for detail.
12:39When is he back?
12:40Your guess is as good as mine.
13:01If you're looking for hidden meaning, I wouldn't bother.
13:05Right, I've checked the train timetable.
13:07There's only that one connection from London.
13:09He could be on today.
13:10Right.
13:13It's got to be a good sign if he was able to send it himself.
13:16Yes, I suppose so.
13:18Well, perhaps he's just got a few days' leave.
13:20From Cairo?
13:22Well, it's just like Tristan to show up as we're about to throw a party.
13:28Well, I hope you're right.
13:32Come on.
13:45I don't imagine you got much sleep.
13:47It was a frightful night.
13:50Well, try not to assume the worst.
13:53It's easier said than done.
13:55It was the same when he was a child,
13:57up trees, riding his bicycle without brakes.
14:00Never thought for his own safety.
14:02He's resilient.
14:03Always has been.
14:04Where are my plastic...
14:05Oh, thank you.
14:10Would you like me to come with you?
14:13I think it best I do this by myself.
14:20I will never utter a crossword to that boy again if he comes home in one piece.
14:28Oh, not today.
14:30Not today.
14:57Come on.
15:02Come on.
15:05Not now.
15:27Come on.
15:57Come on.
16:05To be early is to be on time.
16:07To be on time is to be late.
16:10And to be late is unacceptable.
16:20You've drummed that into me enough times.
16:24Aren't you going to say something?
16:27No.
16:53Can I help you?
16:54Oh, I'm sorry.
16:56The surgery was closed today.
16:57Oh, I'm sure my son can help you.
16:59He's a partner here.
17:00James Herriot, MRCVS.
17:04Graduated top of his class at Glasgow University.
17:07Oh, I don't like to interrupt him.
17:09Oh, nonsense. He'll be glad to help.
17:11Shall we?
17:20Just don't talk to them about football.
17:23Or Mrs Winslow's soothing syrup.
17:27Morning.
17:28We're almost ready to go.
17:29Morning.
17:30James.
17:33Making friends, I see.
17:34Oh, I'm sorry, Mr Herriot.
17:36Your mother insisted.
17:37The animals always come first.
17:39Isn't that right, James?
17:41Indeed it is.
17:44Do you mind?
17:45I'll have to catch you up.
17:46No, of course not.
17:47How about we start at the Victory Garden?
17:49Great.
17:50You can give me some tips for my radishes.
17:54See you later, then.
17:56Sorry.
18:00And who do we have here, then?
18:02This is Lucy.
18:04She's a fine-looking dog.
18:06Eh?
18:08Yes.
18:12Well, what seems to be the problem?
18:14She's obsessed with Emmeline.
18:17Emmeline?
18:18It's got to the point where she won't leave home without her.
18:26Oh.
18:30This is what she does?
18:32Well, let's get her inside.
18:34See if we can't get to the bottom of it.
18:37Oh, erm...
18:42OK.
18:44All right.
18:46Oh.
18:55Is that you, Mr Farnham?
19:04Which one were you looking for?
19:06Get over here.
19:11I've been setting this up since Cairo.
19:15Oh.
19:21And everything's intact.
19:23No bones broken.
19:24Not a hair out of place.
19:25Well, go on. Tell her about your promotion.
19:28He's only been put in charge of training new veterinary recruits in Doncaster.
19:31It's just lecturing, not all the training.
19:34You know me, Mrs H.
19:36Never one to boast about my achievements.
19:38Is that for me?
19:40Just a little treat I've been saving for you.
19:42Oh, life doesn't get any better.
19:44Oh, is Jim here?
19:46Er, I think so.
19:48James Herriot, get out here!
19:52James!
19:55I tried confiscating it, but she went and took a chunk out my hand.
19:59And that's the first time she's ever turned like that.
20:02Well, that wouldn't do at all.
20:04See? That's what she does.
20:06Well, you're lucky she didn't try and nip you, too.
20:09James Herriot, get out here!
20:10I think...
20:11I think what we have here is a case of overstimulation.
20:13Is it serious?
20:14That's nothing to worry about.
20:15Well, toys can be great for dogs.
20:17Sometimes they can form unhealthy attachments.
20:20So, what do you suggest?
20:22Well, I think a period of enforced separation might be in order.
20:27Well, she won't like that at all.
20:29Don't worry.
20:30Emily's just going on a little adventure.
20:33Keep her distracted with plenty of walks.
20:35Maybe they'll treat her, too.
20:37Pop back in a couple of days, and we'll see how she's getting on.
20:39Yes, I will do.
20:40Thank you, Mr. Herriot.
20:42Mind you go, Lucy.
20:46Cheerio.
20:49What's all this I hear about Jimmy stealing my thunder?
20:52What's all this groaning on your top lip?
21:00Well, it's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?
21:02Ah!
21:08So?
21:10How are you?
21:12Exhausted.
21:14Never met so many hardened drinkers in all my life.
21:17You back for good?
21:18I'm in Doncaster three days a week until I'm redeployed.
21:21But it's still Yorkshire.
21:23Just.
21:25The rest of the time is my own.
21:26I'm a man of leisure.
21:27Excellent.
21:28We could do with another pair of hands.
21:29Last time I checked, I actually don't work for you anymore.
21:33Yes, quite right.
21:34My mistake.
21:36Let me grab these for you.
21:37Yeah, it's good.
21:38You can fill me in on what's been happening around here.
21:40That's exactly as you left it.
21:42With the addition of wee Jimmy, of course.
21:44Well, that's not good enough.
21:45I want salacious scandal.
21:46Come on.
21:49So what did they have you doing out there?
21:51Field support, mainly.
21:52Making sure the animals were fit for duty.
21:54Horses, mules, the odd camel.
21:56The unsung heroes, eh?
22:03Well, it would appear we have an interloper.
22:06That's Hamish.
22:08With very questionable taste in bow ties.
22:10That would be Carmody.
22:12He's in London finishing off his final exams.
22:14Be back in a week or two.
22:15The pretender to my throne.
22:17I can't wait to meet him.
22:19Did Siegfried not mention him in his letters?
22:21No, he told me he'd hired a new assistant.
22:23Did Siegfried not mention him in his letters?
22:25No, he told me he'd hired a new assistant.
22:26He neglected to tell me he was now sleeping in my bed.
22:29Tristan, there's someone who wants to meet you.
22:34I think he was just grateful for the distraction.
22:37He's missed you.
22:40We all have.
22:42I'll leave you to it, shall I?
22:47How was the walk?
22:48Oh, we had a smashing time.
22:50Fresh air's the key.
22:51He loved having his pram pushed by his granny.
22:53Didn't you?
22:54Eh?
22:55And the Victory Garden.
22:56Oh, lovely.
22:58It's a wonder how she finds the time.
23:00With wee Jimmy to care for her.
23:02I know.
23:03I know.
23:04I know.
23:05I know.
23:06I know.
23:07I know.
23:08I know.
23:09I know.
23:10With wee Jimmy to care for.
23:13Where were you?
23:16I got caught up in something here.
23:21I don't believe it.
23:23This isn't a mirage, Helen.
23:24It really is me.
23:25Older, wiser, more handsome than ever.
23:30Mr and Mrs Heriot.
23:31Looking younger by the day.
23:32It's lovely to see you.
23:34Aye.
23:35Back where you belong.
23:37And this is young Jimmy, I take it.
23:40He's excited to meet his Uncle Tristan.
23:43May I?
23:50Hello.
23:53Are you waiting for him to reply?
23:55No.
23:56I'm just trying to work out who he looks like.
23:59Well, he's a handsome young thing.
24:01So I'm guessing he's got his mother's genes.
24:03Sorry to break up the party, but we're due at the church soon.
24:07Is it that time already?
24:09I need to get Jimmy his gown.
24:11Oh, don't you worry.
24:13We'll keep the becker talking.
24:16Are you sure you're not too tired from your journey?
24:18What?
24:19Miss you renounce the devil?
24:20Not a chance.
24:22Sacred occasion, Tristan.
24:23That doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun.
24:26Shall we?
24:33Yes.
24:49Dearly beloved, you have brought the child here today to be baptised.
24:55That our Lord Jesus Christ would receive him and release him from sin.
24:59To sanctify him with the Holy Ghost.
25:03To give him the kingdom of heaven and everlasting life.
25:08Now, can I please ask the family to gather at the font?
25:30Did they throw you out?
25:31It was quite the scandal.
25:33How many times did you fall in love?
25:34Oh, just once, Layla.
25:36My Arabian camel.
25:38She was exotic, feisty.
25:39She did have a tendency to get the hands up.
25:41Tristan.
25:43Sorry, Vicar.
25:45Could I ask the godparents to step forward?
25:50Do thou, in the name of this child, renounce the devil and all of his works?
25:55I renounce them all.
25:58Will you then obediently keep God's holy will and the commandments
26:03and walk in the same all the days of thy life?
26:06I will, by God's help.
26:09Would one of the godparents take Jimmy?
26:18Almighty ever-living God,
26:21sanctify this water to the mystical washing away of sin.
26:26Grant that this child receives the fullness of thy grace.
26:31Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
26:34Amen.
26:36Would you please name the child?
26:38James Alexander.
26:40Right, young man.
26:42It's your turn.
26:51Is he good with water?
26:53Only if there's ducks.
26:56I baptize thee in the name of the Father,
27:02the Son,
27:05and the Holy Ghost.
27:07Amen.
27:08Amen.
27:11Well, I thought that went rather well.
27:14Mrs. Hall will need some time to prepare the lunch,
27:16and then we can move on to the speeches.
27:19There's more than one?
27:20I was talking figuratively, James.
27:22Hang on, hang on.
27:24Isn't it customary to wet the baby's head?
27:26That's the night the baby's born, not just after the christening.
27:28Well, I missed the birth on account of me fighting for my country.
27:32I don't think it's appropriate not to do it.
27:33Don't you want to buy your brother a pint?
27:35You've been away fighting him.
27:36Of course I do, but there's a schedule to stick to.
27:39Another hour ain't gonna work.
27:41I'll have lunch ready for when you get back.
27:43Right, that's settled then.
27:44James, you coming for one?
27:46One.
27:47Mum, I want to get back to the house.
27:48Another time.
27:49You go with Tristan.
27:50I'll take your mum back.
27:51That's very kind of you.
27:53Are you sure?
27:54Just don't let him lead you astray.
27:56I'll be an hour tops.
27:58I'm so sorry, Helen.
27:59I'm sure Tristan didn't mean to come and dare your day.
28:04Right, let's make a start on this spread.
28:07Actually, I'd rather go with James and Tristan.
28:10And when we're still an adult, I can do what I like.
28:19I don't think age shouldn't be in the back.
28:22Absolutely not.
28:24Tris, what are you having?
28:25I'll put your money away, James.
28:26This round's on me.
28:27Five pints of your finest, please, barmaid.
28:30Oh, make that six.
28:32Look at what the cat's dropped in.
28:33Egypt's finest export.
28:35I see the war's done nothing to dampen your spirit.
28:38How have you been?
28:40Surviving.
28:41Just about.
28:43Any word from Arthur?
28:44They've got him stationed out in North Africa.
28:47Libya, I think it was.
28:49Well, it's a shame our paths never crossed.
28:51We could have pined together over...
28:54...Dereby.
28:56Enemy sated at three o'clock.
28:59Is that Biggins?
29:01He's like the Grim Reaper.
29:03Lurking round every corner.
29:05You've only got yourselves to blame.
29:06You should have stopped taking that old rascal's business years ago.
29:11Well, then.
29:13Where is it you were stationed? Cairo, wasn't it?
29:16Indeed.
29:17It was a scene of much heartbreak for many of us.
29:19Aye.
29:20Most a lot of men.
29:22I'm talking about the women.
29:25It can't have been easy, though.
29:27Working in that heat.
29:28That was exhausting.
29:29Yeah, deadly at times.
29:31How did you get through it?
29:34The Cairo cafe, mainly.
29:35Sometimes the turf club, depending on, you know, my mood.
29:39Come on, you must have seen some hardship out there.
29:41You know me, James.
29:42Never one to let a little bloodshed get me down.
29:46Well, that'll be six shillings.
29:48Exactly.
29:53Tristan.
29:56Would you mind? I've left my wallet in my other trousers.
30:08There you go.
30:09Can I help at all?
30:11Oh, no, you're all right.
30:12We're nearly done now.
30:19Well, that was a lovely service.
30:22Oh, thank you.
30:23Jimmy enjoyed it.
30:25Do you want a brew?
30:26Oh, no, no, you carry on as you are.
30:28I'm happy just sitting here.
30:33So this is where you eat all your meals?
30:37Most of the time, yes.
30:39That makes sense.
30:41You don't want to stay cooped up in that cramped attic.
30:43You don't want to stay cooped up in that cramped attic.
30:48Oh, Jimmy's awake.
30:49Oh, shall I get him?
30:51Don't worry, I'll go.
31:05Hello.
31:06Yes.
31:07Yes.
31:09Where should I put these?
31:11Oh, on the table's fine.
31:14Oh.
31:17Did you hear that?
31:21Sounded like scratching.
31:24Did you hear that?
31:26Did you hear that?
31:28Did you?
31:30Oh, what are you doing here on your own?
31:34I need some help here.
31:37Oh.
31:38Oh.
31:39Oh.
31:41Clawed at the door, she was.
31:44Her name was Rosa.
31:45She was a Canadian, stationed at the field hospital.
31:48She were a looker.
31:49We're talking Betty Grable here.
31:51Legs that went on mine.
31:53What happened to her?
31:54Her heart laid with another.
31:56Royal engineer from Cleethorpes.
31:58God's sake, it's hardly a farewell to arms.
32:02Just out of interest, did you do any work over there, Tristan?
32:06Excellent question.
32:07I did my fair share.
32:08There was a capture of Sidi Barani, for one.
32:10Why?
32:11Big lad, was he?
32:13It's on the Egypt-Libya border.
32:15You were part of that campaign?
32:17A small part, yes.
32:18How exactly?
32:20Because from what I can gather,
32:21you spent your time drifting from one bar to another.
32:24A lot's changed since your day, Siegfried.
32:26Is that so?
32:27You lot relied on tin hats and blind faith.
32:29Nowadays, we prefer a more strategic approach.
32:31Isn't that right, James?
32:33Absolutely.
32:34I think you're fine.
32:36Do you know what? Forget it.
32:38If you'll excuse me, I need some air.
32:41Mr Biggins!
32:44How's your goat? Any improvement?
32:46I should go mercy, if anything.
32:48I'll be wanting my money back on that prescription of yours.
32:51Are you sure you're administering it correctly?
32:53You're saying I can't make out instructions, is that it?
32:56I'm saying no such thing.
32:57I just don't understand why it hasn't taken effect.
32:59Because the stuff you give me is bloody useless.
33:03You hear this, Alderson?
33:05Victory's only been after trying to power me off with some fake powders.
33:09Fake powder sounds like my domain.
33:10How can I be of assistance?
33:11Everything's under control.
33:13He's just slandered your name in a pub full of paying customers.
33:16That's Peg, I feel sorry for.
33:18Treating her like some kind of experiment.
33:20Right, that's it.
33:21I insist on having another look.
33:23Hang on a minute.
33:24No trouble at all.
33:25Wait for me.
33:26What are you doing?
33:27I'm coming with you.
33:28There's really no need.
33:29What are you talking about?
33:30He's besmirching our good name.
33:32James, will you pass on my apologies to Mrs. Hall?
33:35Aye, of course.
33:49You know, I encountered my fair share of goats in Egypt.
33:52There's a particular knack with them.
33:54I could give you some pointers.
34:02Oh, God!
34:11Oh, God, keep still.
34:12Why would she come back here?
34:15I don't know, but she's after something.
34:23What is it?
34:24What are you looking for, eh?
34:28Is she after food?
34:29I don't think so.
34:41What?
34:59It's not this, is it?
35:07Oh, this'll for a tie.
35:12What are the symptoms?
35:14Weight loss, difficulty eating, salivating.
35:22Come on, let's have a little look at you.
35:26Oh, yes. She has nodules in the jaw swelling around the neck and face.
35:32Has to be ectomycosis.
35:34In English?
35:36Lumpy jaw, Mr. Biggins.
35:38Which was my original diagnosis.
35:45Can I see the prescription I gave you yesterday?
35:48What for?
35:49Because I can't believe you've administered it correctly.
35:51You calling me a liar?
35:53I was merely asking for confirmation, Mr. Biggins.
35:55All I want is my money back from those dodgy powders of yours.
35:59You should count yourself lucky we're not in Egypt.
36:01They'd have just slapped on some iodine and hoped for the best.
36:04No, no, thankfully we're a little more advanced in our way of thinking here.
36:07You bare-faced cheek of a...
36:09Sorry?
36:10You, making out, I don't know what's best for me animals.
36:12All I'm saying is that...
36:13I think you've said more than enough already, don't you?
36:18Could my brother use your stove to make up her warm compress?
36:22It might help reduce peg swelling.
36:26I'll spawn.
36:32Now, where were we?
36:34You slander in my good name.
36:37Yes.
36:48James told me stories about your dog.
36:50It's Don, isn't it?
36:51Aye.
36:53James tears up every time he's mentioned.
36:56You know, he still waits at the door for James to come home.
36:58Oh.
37:01We both do.
37:06She's treating that toy like it's a baby.
37:09Oh, I remember that feeling.
37:12You never want to let go.
37:16Gives me a pain in my chest just thinking about it.
37:21You're doing a wonderful job.
37:24You know that, don't you?
37:37What is it?
37:38I think her teats might be swollen.
37:41Ellen!
37:42Rene!
37:48What's Lucy doing here?
37:49We found her scratching at the door.
37:52Turns out she left something behind.
37:55Emmeline?
37:56I think it's more than just a toy to her, James.
37:59I think it might be a phantom pregnancy.
38:20You sly old fox.
38:28Ellen's right.
38:29Her mammary glands are definitely swollen.
38:31So it is a phantom pregnancy.
38:33Oof, I'm impressed.
38:35They get the idea they're going to have pups after they've been in season.
38:38Yet some even get a swelling in the abdomen.
38:40Oh, so she just wanted to be with her pup.
38:43I can't believe you'd do something like that.
38:46She just wanted to be with her pup.
38:48I can't believe you tried to take her baby, James.
38:52She was being aggressive.
38:55I did it for her own safety.
38:57You locked her away in a drawer.
38:59Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on the boy.
39:02Perhaps it's something only a mother can understand.
39:14Where's Biggins?
39:15Tormenting one of his farmhands, probably.
39:17What happened to the compress?
39:18I got a little distracted.
39:21I can't believe he lied to my face.
39:24Just to worm his way out of paying.
39:27Maybe it's time we give him a taste for his own medicine.
39:29Don't you think?
39:33I hope you're not charging me above the hour, Father.
39:36I was just saying to my brother, Mr. Biggins.
39:39All this talk of Egypt.
39:40It's got me thinking.
39:42Do you mind if I check one more thing?
39:44I suppose.
39:47Right, come here. Let's have a look at you.
39:55Yep.
39:56Just as I suspected.
39:58Nile fever.
40:02Nile what?
40:03Fever.
40:04It's mainly prevalent in North Africa.
40:05I'm fairly certain your goat has it.
40:08Well, how?
40:09She's never been to Africa.
40:14Spittle?
40:15Yes.
40:16Come again?
40:17On the back of a postage stamp, no doubt.
40:19You're winding me up.
40:20Your son's in the army, isn't he?
40:23Yeah, Royal Tank Regiment.
40:24Oh, well, that explains it.
40:25It's airborne, you see.
40:26Airborne.
40:28I'm meant to believe that African Spittle is killing my goat.
40:32No, no, she's not dying. Far from it.
40:34A simple injection should sort her out.
40:36I must say, it's a good job you've been using our medicine.
40:39How do you mean?
40:40If not, the injection could cause serious, serious consequences for the animal.
40:44You mean it could kill her?
40:46Within seconds.
40:47But you've nothing to worry about.
40:48She's had the sulfanilamide.
40:49Oh, no, no.
40:50There's been a misunderstanding.
40:51What sort of misunderstanding?
40:52Well, I just...
40:55I just don't think she's been getting enough of the stuff.
40:57Maybe I'll need to increase the dosage.
41:02I always find it easier to administer if you take it out of the packet.
41:11Are you sure you've got everything?
41:18Anyone would think he was trying to get rid of us.
41:21Did Mrs. Hall give you some cake?
41:23Enough to see us through till winter.
41:25One last cuddle for your granny before we go.
41:29Goodbye, sir.
41:30I'll call you soon.
41:32Every Sunday without fail.
41:35Why do I feel like I'm being ganged up on here?
41:37Get used to it.
41:41Oh.
41:54You two seem to be getting on famously now.
41:58Maybe we could invite them to stay for the summer.
42:01Let's not get carried away.
42:09James? Alan?
42:17Looks like the party's over.
42:21I never got to do my speech.
42:28Then do it for me now.
42:30Don't be ridiculous.
42:31I'm being serious.
42:33I want to hear it.
42:44Perhaps an abridged version.
42:46Music to my ears.
43:03I thought I'd start by talking about the Emperor Penguin.
43:06That might be where you lose your audience.
43:09And how fatherhood takes many forms.
43:16But however they manifest,
43:18all fathers, God, surrogate or otherwise,
43:22share one common desire.
43:27To help those under their care become the best version of themselves.
43:34Job done.
43:40The trouble is when they start to forge their own path
43:44and you realise the roles have somehow reversed.
43:50You find yourself needing them
43:53far more than they ever needed you.
44:03And then I thought I'd end on a flourish
44:05with a particularly pertinent quote from Aristotle.
44:08Why do you always have to go back to the Greeks?
44:11I'm sorry if my terms of reference are too highbrow for you.
44:14I just think it'd be nice if you chose a book we'd all read.
44:17Like what, Tristan, The Dandy?
44:21The Greeks built the foundations of Western civilisation.
44:24A first class education and this is what you come out with.
44:26It beggars belief, it really does.
44:28I'm a student of life, not the classroom.
44:30It's nice to see those two getting on so well.
44:33Isn't it just?
