Even for you, McAloon. 102 00:07:45,745 --> 00:07:48,664 No one wants to pay us, so you need to look every inch the expert, 103 00:07:48,665 --> 00:07:51,905 even if you haven't a clue. Which, in your case, is bang on the money. 104 00:08:00,225 --> 00:08:01,425 Right. 105 00:08:03,025 --> 00:08:04,944 That way. 106 00:08:04,945 --> 00:08:07,264 Where we going? 107 00:08:07,265 --> 00:08:08,665 Just a short detour. 108 00:08:09,745 --> 00:08:12,264 Whirly said there's a problem at Phoebe's farm.

So he says. 237 00:17:22,465 --> 00:17:25,824 It's true and he suffered terrible shell-shock. 238 00:17:25,825 --> 00:17:28,504 That injury, you think he made it up? 239 00:17:28,505 --> 00:17:31,544 He became a recluse, for God's sake. It was Phoebe who saved his life. 240 00:17:31,545 --> 00:17:34,224 Well, I wouldn't trust a thing the man says. 241 00:17:34,225 --> 00:17:36,145 You don't know what you're talking about. 242 00:17:36,146 --> 00:17:37,744 He's well-respected by farmers. 243 00:17:37,745 --> 00:17:39,703 Well, his own future father-in-law didn't seem 244 00:17:39,704 --> 00:17:40,825 to respect him very much. 245 00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:43,824 Old Murdoch doesn't think anyone's any good, apart from himself. 246 00:17:43,825 --> 00:17:45,665 He's a bully, just like Gunnell. 247 00:17:59,025 --> 00:18:01,065 It looks like snake oil to me. 248 00:18:04,265 --> 00:18:06,264 I suspect a home-made brew of ingredients, 249 00:18:06,265 --> 00:18:08,585 easily purchased on every high street in the land. 250 00:18:12,905 --> 00:18:15,025 (Knew he was a quack.) 251 00:18:17,785 --> 00:18:20,344 A Mr Desmond Murray at the Murdoch's farm 252 00:18:20,345 --> 00:18:23,264 is pretending to be a vet, professor. Uh-huh. 253 00:18:23,265 --> 00:18:26,344 There are a lot of men who call themselves vets 254 00:18:26,345 --> 00:18:29,064 who don't have the scientific qualifications. 255 00:18:29,065 --> 00:18:31,585 But they often have good instincts and experience. 256 00:18:36,705 --> 00:18:40,184 Apparently he looked after animals in the Great War. 257 00:18:40,185 --> 00:18:43,984 I wish we'd stop calling that imperialist disaster "great". 258 00:18:43,985 --> 00:18:47,944 It was the ugliest, least great event you could ever imagine. 259 00:18:47,945 --> 00:18:50,305 A scar on this country's history. 260 00:18:52,025 --> 00:18:53,825 You fought in the War, professor? 261 00:18:55,945 --> 00:19:00,864 Swept up in a great, patriotic fervour.

He'll give you a scientific opinion. 270 00:19:30,545 --> 00:19:34,384 And after you do, why not spend the rest of the evening 271 00:19:34,385 --> 00:19:36,985 reading about the "Great War", as you call it? 272 00:19:38,465 --> 00:19:40,624 You need to know your history, Mr Herriot. 273 00:19:40,625 --> 00:19:42,945 To see why, in this country and the rest of Europe, 274 00:19:42,946 --> 00:19:45,865 there are very dark forces on the rise. 275 00:19:52,105 --> 00:19:53,905 Oh, Professor Richie? 276 00:19:55,065 --> 00:19:58,464 You know I'm a good friend of Whirly Tyson. 277 00:19:58,465 --> 00:20:00,903 Do you think Professor Gunnell's trying to get rid of her 278 00:20:00,904 --> 00:20:03,025 from this college? I can't believe that for a moment. 279 00:20:06,185 --> 00:20:09,545 Maybe we should try and see things from Whirly's point of view? 280 00:20:11,185 --> 00:20:13,504 Miss Tyson must learn to marshal an argument. 281 00:20:13,505 --> 00:20:15,665 Not charge about like a raging bull. 282 00:20:42,425 --> 00:20:45,384 You see the silvery deposit?
