♪♪

There he is! My boy!Hello Mum.

You're too young
to be getting married,

you should still be at home
with your mammy.

He'd be an old man

before he get wed
if it was up to you. [laughs]

-Hello, son.
-Hello, dad.

Let me take those.

You all right there, pa?Aye... just a bit sore.

They've got him
working all hours
plating ships at the dock.

You'd think
we're already at war
the rate they're building.

It won't come to that,

but I'm happy
to do my bit all the same.

Aye. You did that
the first time around.

You sure you don't want to
join us tonight, pa?

Well...Och, your father's got
no time for all that carry on.

Have you, dear?Er... no.

No, I suppose not.I'll carry these inside for you.

[woman] It might be James'
last night as a single man--

but don't drink too much.[chuckles]

More importantly,
don't let James drink too much.[dog barking]

I want him walking Helen
down that aisle tomorrow,
not staggering.

[Tristan] You can lead
a horse to water, Mrs H.,

but you can't make it guzzle
six pints of Sharpe's brew.

[Mrs Hall] If you pour it down
his bloomin' neck, you can.

[whining]

Oh, don't be so fussy, Clancy.
It's just for one night.

Mr Mulligan will be back
to pick you up tomorrow evening.

[Siegfried]
What're you doing? It's only
five and twenty to six.

Finished for the day.

Already?

Plenty of bread.

The Harris' cat
that needed spaying?

Done.And there's milk too.

What about
Mulligan's hell hound, Clancy?

Oh, the usual vomiting
but there's something
on his chest too.

I've administered digoxin,

but we'll keep him overnight,
see how he responds.

Well make sure he's locked away,
or he'll chew the place
to pieces.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Look, I know this must be hard
for you both,

but your days of
molly-coddling me are over.

I'm a fully-functioning
member of society now.

You'll just have to find
someone else to mother-hen.

Ah Jim! Perfect timing.

Mrs Hall's got your first
tipple of the evening.

Parents get settled in
all right?

Yes, they're staying
at the Falcon Inn again.

You know James,
this wedding business is really
rather inconsiderate of you.

Oh, is it, Siegfried?

Yes, it damned well is.

And then there's this honeymoon
you're drifting gaily off on.

You can't begrudge the boy
a holiday.

A week in North Riding?
Lovely.

It's not lovely,
it's bloody awful.

A whole week!

And I'm here,
running around disappearing
halfway up my own backside!

Oh, only halfway?
We should've booked in for two.

I'm sorry, Helen, but spring
is our busiest time of year.

I didn't mean to land you
in it like this.

No, he's only had it
booked in for six months.

Exactly, you don't plan ahead.

You go belting in
without a care in the world.

Now hang on a minute,
it was you who--

Marriage is a serious step,
it shouldn't be undertaken
without serious thought.

May I remind you
of the old saying,

"Marry in haste,
repent at leisure."

Well--
Um...

Oh, not you two.
I meant people. Other people.

You'll probably be fine.

Are we sure,
we don't want him to say
a few words at the service?

[chuckles]

Even if he does rather
leave me in the lurch.

We are keeping it
small tomorrow, Mrs H,

but if you did want
to bring Gerald along...

Lord, no. We just walk
our dogs together.

I completely understand
that you want to keep it
to your nearest and dearest.

And sorry to you too, Siegfried.

Oh, nothing to apologize for.

I wouldn't want any of them
to get the wrong idea.

Them?

Um, hadn't we better eat?
We're due at the Drovers
in what? An hour?

Don't you mean, them.

So many lovely things.

Almost too much choice.

Ring?

Safely stowed in my--

Oh, my God.

Ah... just joking!
It's just a joke!

Can I check?

[gasps] Almost offended.

Your life wouldn't be
worth living. Do we
understand one another?

♪♪

Thanks, Triss.

Ohh. Let's eat.

Thank you, Mrs H.

The first time I ever saw you,

I was so distracted,
I got off the bus in
the middle of nowhere.

Alton Cross.

I remember wondering
what you were up to.

I never imagined for a second
this is where we'd end up.

Yes, you did.

Yes. Yes. I did.

♪♪

I'd better hop on.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Count on it.

♪♪

Still time to change your mind.

Not for anything in the world.

Gentlemen.

I'm sure you are aware of
the growing tensions in Europe.

University-educated men
like yourselves would likely
come into the army as officers.

It would be nice being the one
giving orders for a change.

Are the RAF
looking for recruits?

There will be officers
from the other branches
visiting here soon, I'm sure.

You're wasting your time
with these two I'm afraid.

Oh, hang on a minute.
I'm perfectly capable--

Reserved occupation.
Vet.

Like fathers.

They have
a more important role to play.

Now then, gentlemen,
I think we have got
some business to attend to.

Come along,
look lively!

Best man buys
the first round?
[chuckles]

[Jenny] One last look?Ahh!

Spoil sport.

You are going to be all right?

Don't worry about me.

[Dad] Er, don't wait up.

Look after James.Don't you misbehave either!

Right, you two be careful
up on that roof.

And you...steady with my ale.

Can I have your room?
Since you're not coming back
this time.

My bed'll barely be cold
before you're in it.

Well what'd you expect?
It's way more comfy.

'Course you can.
I'll be back here every day.

Hey, nothing's going to change.

Just because I'm getting
married, it won't be
any different.

You know, Mum would be so proud
of you. Everything you've
done for us.

Don't--you'll set me off.

I love you to
your ruddy bones.

Even if you are
an annoying little tyke.

Less of the little now.

Aye. Less of the little.

[Richard] Now then lad, I'm
under strict orders to make sure

you don't get
in trouble, so, um...

...go steady on that ale.

Tom, sort out James, will you?

Same again, Maggie.A shot of Dunville's
coming up.

Something stronger?

No, no more Tom, look,
I've plenty left here.

It's empty!

Which is plenty enough for me!

He's empty!

A yard of ale, if you
wouldn't mind please, Maggie.

I'll bring it over.

Arthur, shelf in stock room.

Thanks, Arthur.

I still don't see
what he's got that I haven't.

That tells a story of its own.

Ah, just in time, big brother.

Um, how much is that, Maggie?

But Tristan, you're
a fully functioning member
of society now.

Yes, I am a tiny bit short.Go on.

[chuckles]

It's a hell of a thing.

One cow we sold turned
out to have tuberculosis.

Me whole herd might be infected.
It's the waiting.

I can barely sleep
for worrying about it.

Losing your herd
is a terrible thing
to contemplate.

It's not me herd,
it's the infected milk
that might come from it.

People will be drinking that!
We need to know.

Sorry, I shouldn't be spoiling
your fun like this.

No, it's fine.Have a good one, lad.

No...No, I can't.

Can't?Wh-- I shouldn't.

Come on. Come on!

[cheering]

Ooh! Blimey. It smells
like a brewery in here.

[Tristan] No, Maggie,
you're a married woman.

Uh, Jess, it's just you!

Breakfast will be on the table
in five minutes.

Okay.

Where's James? I hope
you didn't lose him
last night?

I confess the details
are a little hazy.

[grunts]

[sighs]

No, no, no...the ring!
[sighs]

Oh, God.

♪♪ [Tristan, singing]

[Mrs H] You certainly
seem in a better state
than your brother.

The exuberance of youth is
no match for the resilience
of experience.

Yours, I believe?
I found them covered in mud.

I--I may've had a slight
tumble on my way home.

I found them in the pantry.

I was in need of cheese.

You took your clothes off
for a slice of cheddar?

I was not entirely
compos mentis.

And I found this in the pocket.

I thought it prudent to relieve
Tristan of the responsibility.

He left it on the table last
night, I doubt he even realized.

Breakfast will just be a minute.
The rat's yours, I presume?

Ah...Yes!
I do now recall.

Do you?

Not particularly, no.

And what about James?
His bed don't look like
it's been slept in.

Here he is, the worst man.

He did come home with you?

Ring all safe and sound?

Mm-hmm. Yep.

How're you getting on
with your prize?

Prize? What prize?
What are you talking about?

Siegfried got himself
embroiled in a drinking
contest. We all did, actually.

Would you both please--

[Siegfried]
I don't remember any contest.

Oh it wasn't,
you drank us under the table.

Did I?

Where's James?

Oh, God!

What is it?!

You better take the Rover,
it'll be quicker!

Ahhh...

Keys! Where are the keys?!

On the hook, where they live.

Live! Yes, yes!

[mooing]

[door opens]

Got a brew for you.

Thank you.

Get cracking, shall we?

[William]
Don't want you late to church.

No. [muttering]

[William] I said you shouldn't
the night before your wedding.

But you wouldn't take no
for an answer, insisted on
coming back, no matter what.

Well, we don't like
to let our clients down.

You said, you wanted to
get started first thing
this morning.

I'm sorry, started on what?[chuckling] Oh, dear me,

you were three sheets
to the wind, weren't you, lad?

The testing. The TB testing.TB testing?

The cows? Me herd?I see, of course.

Aye. We picked up
your equipment on the way.

I would've brought you
in the house, but you
insisted on the barn.

Couldn't shift you
for love nor money.

Oh, I wouldn't want
to impose on you.

That's not Heskin Fell?Aye, that it be.

Now, shall we get started?

There they are. I'll get
the lads together.

It won't take long
to round them up.

Once they're in the crush
it should be easy enough.

Unless you're worried
it'll be cutting it fine?

We should be all right.

[cow mooing]

♪♪

[Jenny] What's that face?

[Richard] Bloody typical.

A decent breakfast on the day
that you're leaving us.

I heard you come in last night,
along with half the county.

It were very dark,
hard to see where I were going.

I said I'd do breakfast
this morning.

Hmm. Saying and doing
are two different things.

What happened?

Happened? Nothing happened.
I'm going to muck out
Candy and Joan.

Love, sit--sit yourself down.

I'm fine, dad,
I'd rather keep busy.

Hmm.Hmm.

Jim? Jim?

Seven, eight.

What you sayin' there,
Mister Herriot?

All good so far,
Mr Henry, no sign of TB
in the half we've done.

Thank the good lord for that.

[cow mooing]Let's have
the next one through then.

It is kind of ya to come up
so fast, Mister Herriot.

I'm sorry
to hear about your son.

You go over and over
it, don't you?

Wondering if you might have
done something different, but...

they weren't testin' it
same way back then.

Come on, Wilfred,
get another through.

Come on!
Stubborn beggar won't shift.

I saw that recruiting officer
got stuck into you too
last night?

Aye. He did that.

Though Wilf
didn't take much persuading.

I was under the impression
farming was
a reserved occupation.

Oh it is...
for the older folk.

But there's nothing stopping
these young lads

from signing up, if that's
what they want to do.

I'm proud of him
for standing up.

[cow mooing]

So you should be.
James!

Triss, what are you doing here?

I think I would be neglecting
my best man duties

if I didn't ask you
the same question.

Mr Henry needed
his cows testing.

[scoffs]
I'm getting an eerie
sense of deja-vu,

only last time it was Helen
hiding up in the Dales
having second thoughts.

I'm not having second thoughts.

I told him it could wait
'til after his wedding.

Jim, you're getting married
in two hours' time!

If any of these cows
have tuberculosis
and we don't pick it up,

it could spread through the rest
of the herd and into the milk.

We're here now,
and we've a job to do.

We'll get it done.

younger then, you see.

Still, the years haven't

That's Sergeant Maurice Oliver.
Has his own practice now.

[sighing] I haven't seen
all this stuff for years.

Evelyn boxed it all up
before she died...

She was very practical.

She knew that I was
perhaps a bit lacking
in that respect.

There's a lot more boxes
up there.

Oh! Yes, I had to get
a day's extension to my
leave so we could marry.

We didn't even have
the time to buy a ring.

I tied a knot
in a length of twine.

Very practical.
Evelyn would approve.
Hmm.

You've forgotten
where you put it, haven't you?

No. Absolutely not.

something one of these days.

Let me. You'll be absolutely
reeking when you
walk down the aisle.

I've time for

Well, it's hardly putting

To keep your mind off it?Because I like to be busy.

Why don't you stop?

What're you up to?

Nothing, I'm not
up to anything.

And what're you hiding

No one's hiding.

out of place.

The wedding in't
till this afternoon.

Ah, we know.

We're a right to worry,
though, haven't we?
Y'know, after last time.

You have got form.

I called off one wedding.

It happened once,
that doesn't mean I've got form.

I love James.
I'm marrying James.
Today, this afternoon.

And nothing's going to get
in t'way of that.

At least
I think it won't.

You think?

Helen?

I've just got so much
running through me mind.

Y'know, I mean...

what about the chickens?

The chickens?

What about them?

And then there's the cows.

What're you talking about, lass?
The chickens are fine.

[Jenny]
I'll be milking the cows.

And then I think
what it might be
like to be married--

Oh, what you...
James in't... bad.

Dad!

All right then, he's good.

No father could wish
for more for his daughter.

But I'm telling you,
I'm not going through all that
bloody nonsense again,

I'm just not!

Oh.

You're having me on.
She's having me on.
Very funny.

I'll go and see to the pigs.

You're gonna give me
a bloody heart attack
one day, you!

[laughing]

You can pack it in an' all.

I thought farmers and vets
were protected?

They are. We are.
Reserved occupations.

But Wilfred
was able to volunteer.
Maybe we could too.

Looking after animals
keeps food on plates.

Doubtless you'll protect
more people by preventing
TB spread then you ever would

with a gun in your hand.

It's a shame for the women
of the world, though...

I mean, I would look good
in a uniform.

Right, this looks
like the last one, come on.

Confirm cow number seventy-six.

Six.

Seven, seven.

Your herd's
in good shape, Mr Henry.

Thank the Lord for that.

Grand work, Mister Herriot.

That's the last one.
Come on then, let's go.

Are we missing some?

No, no I don't think so...

There's one left to do.

She could be in the bracken
down by the stream.

Wilfred, get down in the gully
and look for a cow.

I'm afraid we really must be
getting going, Mister Henry.

He's right.

I won't have you
missing your wedding.

Thank you for coming up so fast.

Make sure you keep her away
from the rest of the herd

or we'll have to test them
all again.
Will do.

waiting a moment longer.

Thank you, Mister Henry.

There we are, Clancy.
Oh, I'm sorry, that doesn't
taste very nice, does it?

Shouldn't they be back
by now?

My brother is
reliably unreliable.

And what about this one?
Still no luck?

For a dog
with a fondness for vomiting

he's been
decidedly uncooperative.

I've tried linseed oil,
salt water, and now mustard
and then soda crystals.

See if that
doesn't force the issue.

One wonders if a lesson
might've been learned.

What are you implying,
Mrs Hall?

There's no implying,
I'm straight up telling you

sticking your beak in
has created this mess.

I dispute that.

Because of my actions, we know
exactly where the ring is.

It's inside a dog.

Well, if I'd left
it with Tristan,

we wouldn't have a bloody clue
where it was.

At least this way we're sure.For all the good it does us.

I think it's extremely unfair
of you, given the efforts
I've made.

I let Tristan run surgery
entirely by himself and you know
how much I value James.

That doesn't change the fact
he's getting married today

and because of your meddling,
there's no blooming ring,

and he's up in the Dales
instead of here getting
ready for his wedding.

It was James' choice
to go up to Henry's.

Oh, I'm sure
the way you went on last night
had nothing to do with it.

Which one?
That one.

I'm touched you even asked.

I don't know why you're
carrying on like this.

I'd finished.

You know, Herriot has
a much thicker skin than
you give him credit for.

He's only up at that farm
because you made him feel
guilty about going away.

Why're you giving me these?

I need you to run me up
to Heston Grange.

I said I'd help Helen get ready.

And you need to
get over to Henry's
and bring that boy back.

What about Clancy?
I've just given him an emetic,

I can't very well leave him.[Clancy whining]

You really are the most
ridiculous creature.

I hope you're referring
to the dog?

[Mrs H] Did you put
James' suit in the back?

He won't have time
to come back 'ere.

[Siegfried] Yes, yes.

Definite signs of crepitus.
Did you hear the cracking
as the bone moved?

What're you saying,
Mister Herriot?

It's not great.

Mister Henry,
the metacarpus is fractured.

The bone's only staying in place
because these muscles of hers

are holding it there
and it's causing her
a great deal of pain.

Right. If there's nothing
that can be done.

That's the way of it.

No need to delay yourself
any further, Mister Herriot.

Time to get thee wed.

Wilfred, fetch me gun would you?

That's it?

We tried.
Not very hard, from
where I'm standing.

Wilfred!Sorry, pa,

but they're meant
to help. Otherwise
what's the point in them?

I suppose we could try a splint.

It'll keep the weight off
the leg and maybe
give it a chance to heal.

It's a long shot, but
at least then we can say
we've exhausted everything.

What about your wedding?Well, we'll go straight
to the church when we're done.

Helen'll have
to take me as I am.

[Helen] Thanks for
doing this again.

[Mrs Hall] Oh it's my pleasure,
for a mother without daughters,

this is something
I never thought I'd get to do.

Once, let alone twice.

First time were
a bit more rushed.

[laughing]
It were.

Though we managed to turn
you out half decent in the end.

I never wanted a big wedding.

It were Hugh's idea
to invite half the county.

I expect he were obliged.Mm.

I just wanted it to be
Jenny and our parents.

Well, dad.

I wish me mam were here.

She is... in you,
and in your sister.

And in every part of this
house she made your home.

I remember when
me mum did that.

She was so cross with me
and Jenny for fighting,

she thumped the pan down,
sending the soup
all over the place.

[chuckling]
That sounds familiar.

She were raging, but she had
leeks and all sorts dangling
from her hair,

smoke were rising up from
t'pan burning the wood.

Me and Jenny couldn't
stop laughing.

Pretty quick,
she were laughing too.

All three of us

Me Dad thought we'd lost
our minds when he came in.

She wouldn't want
you lookin' back.

Makin' your own mark

Aye.

Were you nervous?

I didn't have time to be,

Robert only had
a few days' leave.

Not just about the wedding.
Everything after.

We were in love.

Definitely not.
