CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
Across Yorkshire's moors and dales,
2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,655
the world's most famous vet
set the benchmark for animal care,
3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,895
and James Herriot's legacy lives on.
4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,495
His former trainee, Peter Wright...
5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,135
All my life,
I've enjoyed doing this.
6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,575
...has been a Yorkshire vet
for over 40 years.
7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,095
I'm getting the impression
you wouldn't take me on
8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,495
as an assistant, is that right?
Probably.
9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,895
Peter's old partner,
Julian Norton...
10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,655
With a gloved hand and a lubricated
finger, I'm well-equipped.
11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,695
...now runs two practices...
Come on, young man.
12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,055
...one of them in the town
where Herriot worked,
13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,575
surrounded by the North Yorkshire
landscape he loved.
14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,655
Look at that - what a sheep.
15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,135
And in the foothills
of the Pennines...
16
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,935
I'm armed and ready.
17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,295
...a new generation
of town and country vets...
18
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,575
This is the closest tojames Bond
I think I'm ever getting.
19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,535
...also uphold the Herriot ethos.
20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,975
Another day in paradise.
The teams are united...
21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,815
We can probably knock this off
ourselves, do you think? Pfft!
22
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,735
...never taking their eyes
off the ball...
23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,695
CHEERING
Howzat!
24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,055
...as they help
animals of all shapes...
25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,695
I didn't think
I'd be hugging a turkey.
26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,095
MAN EXCLAIMS
..s izes...
27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,455
More like pulling a calf out.
28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,015
...types...
Nearly done.
29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,735
Nearly done, Bertie.
..and temperaments.
30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,015
VET GRUNTS
He bit me.
31
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,055
It's definitely not glamourous...
32
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,015
Penile amputations
still make me squirm a little bit.
33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,655
...but it's varied.
WOMAN MIMICS BRAYING
34
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,535
LAUGHTER
You ought to know better.
35
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,415
It's rarely easy.
MAN STRAINS
36
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,015
But they continue
the Herriot tradition...
37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,295
Ooh.
..treating all creatures...
38
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,895
That's it. There we go. There we go.
39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,295
. .great. . .
Aww, Merlin .
40
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,055
MAN: Come on!
..and small.
41
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,695
HE CHUCKLES
42
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,575
The Yorkshire countryside
provides the groundwork
43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,775
for a complete school education.
44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,815
An inspiration
for poets and novelists.
45
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,255
It's a work of art...
rich in history...
46
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,335
...with some simple maths covered
in the sheer variety of shapes.
47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,055
But when night falls,
48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,535
it isn't always home time
for a Yorkshire vet.
49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,775
And in H uddersfield,
50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,135
after another long day
at the animal hospital,
51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,055
Matt's had to hit the road
on a freezing cold night.
52
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,415
It's minus two out there tonight,
53
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,055
and I've had a call
to a calving cow at Andrew's farm.
54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,735
He's just said
something's not right,
55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,255
and he's really quite worried.
56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,335
When he sounds concerned,
then it makes me think that
57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,615
things could be a bit of disaster
that needs sorting.
58
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,175
So, as with any calving,
59
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,055
we always want to get there
as quick as we can
60
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,055
because time is of the essence.
61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,895
For Andrew,
it's a been a worrying day,
62
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:00,335
keeping a watchful eye
on the expectant mum.
63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,935
I noticed she were a bit distressed
64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,375
at twelve o'clock-ish.
65
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,335
Fetched her into here
at quarter to four,
66
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,735
had a quick feel
and couldn't feel anything.
67
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,655
I decided I better cut my losses
and make a decision quickly.
68
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,975
All right, Andrew,
how are you getting on?
69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,775
Thank you.
Thank you for coming so quick.
70
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,695
No worries. Right, this the lady?
71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,255
Yeah. Shall we get her haltered up,
have a feel, see what's going on?
72
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,295
She's just not happy with herself,
is she? Oh, she's not.
73
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,095
She's bloody not happy with herself.
No way.
74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,015
The first challenge
is to restrain the stressed cow.
75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,535
Come on, babes.
COW MOOS
76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,375
Keep her in there.
Come on, baby.
77
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,175
MATT STRAINS
Come on. Ah! Don't even...
78
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,135
Don't even think about it.
Hey, hey, hey.
79
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,095
There, there. Perfect.
Stop being a muppet.
80
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,575
We're helping you.
81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,255
Don't even think of kicking.
Relax. Relax.
82
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,575
Stop winding yoursen up, baby.
83
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,935
Relax, relax.
COW MOOS
84
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,495
Right, we're on. We're on.
Good girl. Come on.
85
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,775
You're doing very well. Good lass.
86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,015
ANDREW CH UCKLES
Is she?
87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,375
He says. Let's have you in here.
88
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,335
I'll just pull that tight.
Right, three, two, one, pull.
89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,095
BREATHLESSLY: There we go. Lovely.
Right...
90
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,175
Right, let's have a feel.
Relax, lass.
91
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,935
It's tight in there - I know it is.
92
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,775
You know, she's opening up.
I can get my arm in now.
93
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:41,215
I think we might be coming out
the back end there, which is good.
94
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,375
I mean, compare it to what you felt,
like, a couple of hours...
95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,135
Right, then,
let's get this calf out.
96
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,135
So, last couple of hours,
her cervix, which needs to open up,
97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,015
has massively dilated,
and hopefully, it's open enough
98
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,655
that we can get that calf out
the regular way and alive.
99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,015
STRAINING: I'm just getting...
the ropes.
100
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,935
Just getting through all these bags
101
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,015
and fluids just so
I can get properly to the calf here.
102
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,295
Good lass, good lass, good lass.
103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,335
Everything's feeling OK.
Everything's in the right position.
104
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,175
But not gonna speak too soon
because at the end of the clay,
105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,255
something's not just quite right
for me to be here to start with.
106
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,415
Just get these feet engaged,
107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,215
and let's just put
a bit of pressure on.
108
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,415
A little bit of pressure.
109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,055
Right, let's just wrap it round here
110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,375
cos we can give a bit more pull,
can't we? With this.
111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,735
Right, let's give it some pull.
112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,455
At the moment,
everything's engaged fine.
113
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,375
Just get a little bit of tension on
114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,655
and hopefully,
we'll have a live calf.
115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:48,975
Let's just see.
116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,655
MATT GRUNTS
117
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,255
COW MOOS
118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,895
Working as a Yorkshire vet
for over 40 years
119
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,935
means that many of Peter's
regular clients...
120
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,815
...have become good friends.
121
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,095
Morning, Mr Bird.
All right, Peter?
122
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,215
...like Graham Bird, near Thirsk...
123
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,255
Must be used to bigger bottoms,
are you?
124
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,135
Much bigger bottoms
that I can get my arms into.
125
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,935
GRAHAM EXHALES
126
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,015
...with whom laughter
has always been guaranteed.
127
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,415
PETER: Come on, nurse.
I feel like Florence Nightingale.
128
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,135
LAUGHTER
129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,255
But today, Peter's come to see
12-year-old pony Betsy,
130
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,495
and Graham and his family
are in a much more sombre mood.
131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,095
I've had a call from Mrs Bird
132
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,735
to say that there's something
was protruding and bleeding.
133
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,095
So, I'm not certain what's going on,
134
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,295
so I'm gonna have to have a look
and see.
135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,055
Hello, Graham.
How are you, Peter?
136
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,415
I'm very well, thanks. Are you?
I'm very good.
137
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,335
There's a pony that's the problem.
It is.
138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,695
What's it called?
Betsy. Betsy.
139
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,895
Whoa! Crikey.
That's horrible, in't it? Mm.
140
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,415
Absolutely horrible.
141
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,895
Has that grown quite quickly?
Yeah.
142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,575
Yeah.
Three clays.
143
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,775
It's a sarcoid, and there's actually
another one behind it underneath.
144
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,535
You can feel it there.
145
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,815
If you put your hand...
No, I don't want to touch it.
146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,935
PETER SIGHS
147
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,855
It's much worse than I expected.
Oh, clear me.
148
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,295
Right. It is
quite a nasty skin tumour, that.
149
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,575
A thing called a sarcoid.
150
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,935
It's an ulcerated sarcoid.
151
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,295
They do grow quickly, that type,
and they burst out,
152
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,135
and they never go away.
153
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,215
But you can't just cut these off
154
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,575
because if you cut them off,
they come back again.
155
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,095
So we have to deprive that of its
blood supply with elastic bands,
156
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,415
so that's what we'll do.
157
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,455
Need some of them and them.
158
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,415
This is quite nasty.
It's grown very quickly.
159
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,095
I can see
it's quite an aggressive one,
160
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,455
so it's not going to be easy.
161
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,815
Ancl it's complicated by the fact
that there's another one
162
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,215
that's growing almost behind it.
163
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,495
It's a bit of a mess, really, so
it's a bit of a challenge, this one.
164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,815
Right, Betsy. just going to give her
a sedative now.
165
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,735
I think what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna put her to sleep to do it.
166
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,935
I'll be able to get at them better.
GRAHAM: Right.
167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,055
'When I come to the Birds',
it's always very light-hearted.'
168
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,455
I've known the family for some time,
169
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,055
and it's fair to say
I do take a bit of stick off Graham,
170
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,455
but when an animal's ill, it's a
different kettle of fish altogether.
171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,815
Nice and gentle. Take the water.
172
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,135
Come on.
GRAHAM CLICKS TEETH
173
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,415
Graham looks after his animals
very, very well.
174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,855
They mean the world to him,
175
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,895
and I'm gonna do my best
to try and get this pony sorted out
176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,455
for him and the family.
177
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,975
So, there's a lot at stake here.
178
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,015
Coming up...
COW MOOS
179
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,815
MATT: Keep going.
180
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,295
...Matt's on the ropes,
trying to deliver the calf.
181
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,935
So, I'm just easing...
the head out through the canal.
182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,375
An abandoned kitten...
183
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,455
Hey, little cat.
..shocks Rohin.
184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,655
They are honestly one of
the most bizarre X-rays I've seen.
185
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,695
And Julian gets back to work...
186
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,495
Already, I can bend it to that much.
187
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,695
...but gets little sympathy.
WOMAN: Oh, wow (!)
188
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,015
Don't be sarcastic, India.
LAUGHTER
189
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,855
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
On a freezing cold night
190
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,935
near Huddersfield,
Matt's trying to save a calf.
191
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,175
MATT: just keep going. Keep going.
192
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,415
But even with farmers
Andrew andjamie lending a hand,
193
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,775
it's a real struggle.
194
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,935
So, I'm just easing...
the head out...
195
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,655
...through the canal.
196
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,255
We've got some good tension
on these legs.
197
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,815
Right, what I'm gonna do is...
just pause there a minute.
198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,215
I'm gonna get some thicker ropes
199
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,255
to spread that weight
across those legs a bit more.
200
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,015
ANDREW: Yeah,
if it spreads the load a bit more.
201
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,775
Right, just drop me a little bit
of slack off on these now. Yeah.
202
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,975
So, what we're gonna do is...
203
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,495
...gonna attach these on.
204
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,735
Always tricky
to just get that head rope on.
205
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,935
We need it behind the ears...
206
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,175
...and in the right position to pull.
Right, OK. Let's go.
207
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,375
COW MOOS,
GRUNTING
208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,175
MATT GRUNTS
209
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,375
That's it.
She's coming. She's coming.
210
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,895
We've got that head there.
211
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,535
Come on, lass, give us a push.
Help us out here, love.
212
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,495
Yes!
213
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,055
Yes!
ANDREW: It's alive!
214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,495
Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull.
Pull, pull, pull.
215
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,695
Good girl!
216
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,095
Well clone.
Right, let's get the things off.
217
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,735
Let's give it a check.
218
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,935
That's it.
Make sure all its things are clear.
219
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,015
Right, I'll lift it up, Andrew.
220
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,015
You give its chest a rub
and get any crap out of it.
221
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,295
All right, here you go -
give its chest a rub.
222
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,335
That's it. That's it. Well clone.
223
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,055
That's a bloody big calf.
She's clone well there, hasn't she?
224
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,175
Let's sit it up.
That's it. That's it, that's it.
225
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,935
Give its chest a rub. There we go.
226
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,775
Good girl.
227
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,055
I don't feel like
it's minus two any more, do you?
228
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,055
LAUGHTER
229
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,615
Oh, I'm pleased.
Not as pleased as I am.
230
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,215
Oh, man, well clone.
231
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,935
That's a right calf, in't it, that?
232
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,575
Mum seems all right
at this minute in time.
233
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,255
I'm gonna put my hand inside mum,
make sure everything feels OK.
234
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,615
I've got an antibiotic tablet
I'm gonna put in
235
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,415
to stop any infection getting in,
some anti-inflammatories,
236
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,135
and then we'll leave
these two to it.
237
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,415
That feels fine in there.
238
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,255
Come on, lass. Well clone.
She has clone very, very well.
239
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,455
Come on, you. Three, two, one. Oh.
240
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,095
There we go. Well clone. Good lass.
241
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,815
Right, go on, lass.
You get licking your baby.
242
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,335
One thing any vet
or any farmer'll tell you,
243
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,935
that as uncomfortable as it is
getting out and about
244
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,895
in the minus temperatures,
snow, rain, sleet, hail,
245
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,375
when you have an outcome
with a live mum, a live calf
246
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,255
and a mum that starts
licking its calf straight away,
247
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,015
it makes it all worth it.
248
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,655
There's no better sight than that.
249
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,535
As a Yorkshire vet,
250
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:48,255
Julian's seen plenty of newborns
trying to take their first steps.
251
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,895
I always like to try and get
my operation bit clone
252
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,295
before the calf's stood up.
253
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,855
While sometimes,
an unfortunate injury...
254
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,135
She does look a bit sad,
doesn't she? She does.
255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,215
Whoops. Come on, this way.
256
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,335
...means he has to perform
complex surgery...
257
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,415
What I'm gonna do next
is cut into the joint,
258
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,735
and this is not very easy.
259
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,575
...to get a pet back on all fours.
260
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,415
Aria! How are you doing?
WOMAN: Come on, Aria.
261
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,015
Are you all right?
Are you a happy dog?
262
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,055
Yeah.
Much happier now, yeah? Yeah.
263
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,375
She's using that leg
remarkably well.
264
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,055
But a recent mountain bike accident
265
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,975
meantjulian needed an operation
on his own serious knee injury...
266
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,615
Whoops.
267
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,015
...and after a couple of weeks
of being the patient,
268
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,895
he's decided to see if he can be of
any use back at the Thirsk practice.
269
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,775
Here he comes, Speedy Gonzales (!)
270
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,655
Oh, hello.
You all right?
271
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:45,455
How are you?
Erm, slow.
272
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,815
But getting there, yeah.
273
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,775
Like all good things,
I get there eventually.
274
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,055
Did you need to get out the house?
Is that why you're here?
275
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,495
Well, I've come to help.
276
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,055
Anne says it's been desperately busy
without me,
277
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,855
so I feel really bad that I've
kind of messed it up for everybody.
278
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,655
I'm all right.
279
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,455
Already, I can bend it to that much,
and I can also go like this.
280
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,015
Oh, WOW U)
281
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,575
Don't be sarcastic, India.
LAUGHTER
282
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,455
Don't keep bending it!
283
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,375
Well, no, it...
Don't bend it.
284
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,735
It's mobilisation.
285
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,975
Keen to make up for his absence,
286
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,655
Julian's mobilising his skills
in the kitchen.
287
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,575
So, this is an important job
of making drinks.
288
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,335
I'm finding the pace of life
for me...
289
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,175
at the moment, it feels
a little bit like semi-retirement
290
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,575
cos everything is very slow.
291
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,815
Erm... I can't do anything
in a hurry or at pace, so...
292
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,375
...making two cups of tea
and a cup of coffee is...
293
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,135
...quite a busy morning for me.
294
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,015
After making the drinks...
Coffee?
295
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,935
...julian's next helpful job
will be a spot of cleaning.
296
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,935
I've spilt on the floor.
297
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,735
It's gonna be a challenge
to get down and clean it up.
298
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,735
Oh, it's all right. if I go down
on this good leg like that...
299
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,055
Yep, that's easier than I expected!
300
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,695
With renewed confidence, he's just
about ready for his first patients.
301
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,975
Go, get down. There's a good girl.
302
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,895
Pam has brought in her two
toy terriers for a nail trim.
303
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,295
Hi, Pam. You all right?
Here he is. Hello.
304
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,655
The walking injured.
Injured solider. I know.
305
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,015
PAM CH UCKLES
It's been a bit of a disaster.
306
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,815
So, are you all right
just to steady her there? Yeah.
307
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,535
It's relatively simple.
I can manage it with my incapacity.
308
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,095
Erm...
Are you sure?
309
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,135
Yeah, no, it's good, yeah.
I'm perched quite nicely.
310
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,655
You don't want a cushion there
or anything in case you rock off?
311
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,935
No.
THEY CHUCKLE
312
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,055
Little clogs aren't always easy
to do their nails, are they?
313
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,615
With little clogs like this,
it can pull them and avulse them.
314
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,095
DOG YELPS
Oi. Oopsie daisy.
315
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,495
Oi!
Are you all right?
316
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,975
The other challenge
is when they're black... Yeah.
317
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,335
...you can't see where their...
You can't see the quick.
318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,335
...the blood vessels are, so
that makes it more of a challenge.
319
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,535
You've just got to exercise
a bit more caution. Yeah.
320
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,175
But this is probably...
For a first-day-back job,
321
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,535
it's probably
about as good as it gets. Yeah.
322
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,295
I think I've just about
coped all right.
323
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,455
Good. Oh!
DOG YELPS
324
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,135
There we are, clone!
That's it, clone!
325
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,095
They were very well behaved.
326
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,415
I know some little clogs don't
like their nails being clipped,
327
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,975
but they were model patients today,
328
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,535
which was probably just as well
for a recuperating vet.
329
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,935
Not far from Thirsk,
330
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,295
Peter's facing a much bigger
challenge with Graham's pony.
331
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,335
That's it.
332
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,855
As the whole family watches on,
333
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,215
he needs to remove
two nasty skin tumours.
334
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,175
Sometimes they can be
just left alone,
335
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,895
but this has become much more
malignant and aggressive.
336
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,135
It will never heal again, so
it's going to be an ongoing problem
337
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,855
unless we do something with it.
338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,615
She'll go in a minute.
That's it, she's going.
339
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,975
It's all right, don't worry.
340
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,935
That's it, that's lovely.
Oh, that was nice. Yeah.
341
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,335
Oh, God. I'm gonna have to
band them separately.
342
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:27,695
This is probably
worse than I thought
343
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,815
because we've got several other
nodular ones here.
344
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,575
Looks raw, doesn't it, Peter?
Mm.
345
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,455
Oh, it looks really painful, that,
doesn't it?
346
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,975
It's horrible. Horrible.
347
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,575
Right, let's get on.
348
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,295
What I'm gonna do now
is just grab hold of that...
349
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,535
...so I can try and then get that
as low possible. Right at the base.
350
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,375
These are elastic bands
351
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,055
that will deprive this mass
of its blood supply.
352
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,695
Because if you just try and cut
these off, they grow back again.
353
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,015
Big, isn't it?
It is big, yeah.
354
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,455
I'm gonna get another one
round there, if I can, Graham. Yep.
355
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,415
Just not happy-
356
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,855
How come they're round
the, like, er, udder?
357
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,095
Just common place, inside the thigh.
Is it? Yeah.
358
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,735
Always this sort of area.
359
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,015
That's it.
That's better.
360
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,975
I need more banding on here, though.
361
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,495
The more bands I get on, the more
we strangulate the blood supply.
362
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,535
Pretty good, that.
Mm.
363
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,175
Are you impressed, Mr Bird?
Well...
364
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,975
THEY CHUCKLE
365
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:40,735
Put you off broccoli!
366
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,735
THEY LAUGH
367
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,335
That's it.
368
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,775
Now, we won't have long
before she starts to come round.
369
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,135
OK, you check her eyes, Dolly,
see if she opens up.
370
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,895
Keep checking,
cos she'll stand on Peter.
371
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,175
She won't be long.
372
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,415
That's... Now, then.
Oh, there's another one behind.
373
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,695
That one won't be long
before it ulcerates either.
374
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,775
Well, it might not now, might it?
No, no. If this does its job.
375
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,655
He's got another littl'un what
we didn't know it had at the front
376
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:12,975
before it develops big.
377
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,335
She's wagging her tail now.
Right.
378
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:18,055
She might start to feel stuff soon,
mightn't she? Yeah.
379
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,095
CHUCKLING: So we'd better hurry up!
I know.
380
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,415
It's like Mission Impossible,
isn't it?
381
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,695
You're not clone out of time,
the clock's ticking.
382
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,615
Her eyes are open!
383
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,495
HORSE PUFFS
Oh, nope. She's had enough of this.
384
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,535
Oh, there she goes!
There she goes. Oh!
385
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,375
Whoa, just in time!
Yeah!
386
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,535
Just like Tom Cruise!
387
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,535
Whoa. She's stepping.
just step careful.
388
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,015
Lovely. That worked quite nicely,
didn't it?
389
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,895
Yeah, just in time, Peter.
That's it, he's clone!
390
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,215
That's fantastic,
although I say it myself.
391
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,695
LAUGHTER
392
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,415
Well, I'm very happy
with how that's gone,
393
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,215
and I'm fairly confident now
for that to heal very nicely.
394
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,575
They're gonna take some time
to drop off.
395
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,535
You can give any written guarantees,
you've just got to do your best,
396
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,495
but I'm hopeful
that these will behave themselves.
397
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,535
Come on.
398
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,735
Oh, she's eating.
399
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,495
Doesn't look any worse for it,
does she?
400
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,895
Must feel a lot more comfortable
with them gone, wouldn't ya?
401
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,535
Keep me informed
as to how these are.
402
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,815
But just keep up the good work,
and we'll see you soon.
403
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,855
Thank you very much, Peter.
Looking forward to your letter.
404
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,215
Bye!
It'll be in the post.
405
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,415
Akeady?
PETER LAUGHS
406
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,255
Right, in the shade with her, eh?
On you get. Come on, lass.
407
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,255
At one of the Huddersfield
practice's smaller surgeries,
408
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,855
the majority of patients,
like at most practices,
409
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,135
come from loving homes.
410
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,735
But some aren't so fortunate.
411
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,335
Hey, little cat.
You're very friendly, aren't you?
412
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,935
Do you wanna come out?
413
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,735
Rohin is hoping he can help a kitten
who's had to face the world alone.
414
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,015
Just knowing
what she's been through.
415
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,415
Had an awful start in life,
416
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,375
been found on the street,
virtually collapsed.
417
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,775
For her to be this friendly and
this affectionate towards people,
418
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,215
it's a real testament
to her temperament, isn't it?
419
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,975
The little stray has already
won the hearts of the team.
420
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,375
Oh, she's cute. Right, you go
in here and have a little snooze.
421
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,735
But there's a big problem
for the young patient.
422
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,615
There's a really firm area
in her tummy.
423
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,575
We don't know what it is, but
it definitely shouldn't be there.
424
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,975
We've taken some x-rays to try and
get an idea what we're dealing with.
425
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,095
They are honestly one of the most
bizarre x-rays I've seen.
426
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:42,935
There just seems to be
a huge structure,
427
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,495
some kind of foreign body,
428
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,335
taking up almost the entire space
within the abdomen.
429
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:50,655
And unfortunately,
that does make it life-threatening
430
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,015
from the sheer size
of what we're dealing with.
431
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,575
The only way we're gonna
be able to help this little cat now
432
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,175
is if we do an operation.
There's no other option.
433
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,935
Nurses Beth and jade
have been caring for the kitten
434
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,695
since she was brought in.
435
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,415
She got found a couple of days ago.
436
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,255
She's a lovely cat,
very, very affectionate.
437
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,615
So, hopefully,
we can make her better today.
438
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,975
I do quite like her, I'm not gonna
lie. I'm quite attached to her now.
439
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,375
I'll give her this now, then.
It's...
440
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,295
She's not got much muscle mass
to inject to, she's so skinny.
441
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,095
So, from there to there in her
abdomen, that's all just a mass.
442
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,255
So the vast majority
of the space in her tummy
443
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,495
is taken up by this object,
whatever it is, we still don't know.
444
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,895
But it's literally huge.
445
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,655
It could be something like
a dead mouse that she's ingested.
446
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,495
This feels like a tight balloon
that's, like, ready to pop.
447
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,855
If we waited another few clays,
448
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,735
it would've been disaster,
wouldn't it? Yeah.
449
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,175
It breaks your heart, doesn't it?
450
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,735
To know that she's such a nice cat,
she's such a lovely temperament.
451
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,935
If we get this sorted,
she'll have a great life.
452
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,295
How's it going, jade?
All right.
453
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,015
You ready?
Ready. OK.
454
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,215
It's gotta be clone.
Let's begin.
455
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,175
This little kitten's stomach
is absolutely enormous.
456
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,095
It's should never be this distended.
457
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,655
You know, you very rarely
see anything like this.
458
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,335
It's absolutely
full of material. Ohh...
459
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:15,015
Ancl I'm trying to be really gentle
howl handle it,
460
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,015
because it's so full,
461
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,015
you would worry this could be
at risk of rupturing, even.
462
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,615
The stakes are kind of high with
this one, aren't they, really? Yeah.
463
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,215
Coming up...
464
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,215
How are you getting on?
How did she take to her?
465
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,975
A mum hasn't been grateful to Matt
for saving her calf.
466
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,335
She was, like,
shoving it out of t'way,
467
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,815
so I played safe
and put it behind a gate.
468
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,895
Butjulian is grateful...
469
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,375
There was a big team
that came to rescue me.
470
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,935
...to his saviours.
471
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,855
Loads of people. I brought a cake,
472
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,135
but I don't think it's gonna be
big enough for everybody!
473
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:57,455
LAUGHTER
474
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,095
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY: Near
Huddersfield, it's been two weeks
475
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:03,895
since Matt helped to deliver
a huge calf on Andrew's farm.
476
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,975
That'll keep you going
for a bit now, girls.
477
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,335
It was quite hairy to start with,
478
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,495
but a bit of a persistence and
a few ropes in the right direction,
479
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,015
and we calved her, and everything
went really, really well,
480
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,335
and I was so, so pleased.
481
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,895
But it's always a concern
482
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,415
when you've had to intervene with
a cow calving, because sometimes,
483
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,335
the cow doesn't bond as well
with the calf as you'd like.
484
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:31,335
So, I've come back today
so see how they're getting on,
485
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,095
make sure they've bonded well
and that they've recovered nicely.
486
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,215
Morning, Andrew. You all right?
I'm fine, thank you.
487
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,575
Good stuff. How are you getting on?
Yeah. Brilliant.
488
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,975
Well, how are we doing?
Cow and calf's doing well. Yeah.
489
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,695
Ah, brilliant.
How did she take to her?
490
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,175
I left it with it all night,
491
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,135
she were licking it,
this, that and t'other. Yeah.
492
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,655
Morning after, I come up,
493
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,375
she were, like, shoving it out of
t'way when it were trying to drink,
494
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,095
so I played safe
and put it behind a gate.
495
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,855
After about four clays,
she bonded with it. Yeah.
496
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,575
Ancl same as she's doing now.
She's fantastic.
497
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,415
Ancl the calf's looking really good,
too. So bright. Yeah, yeah.
498
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,575
You know, bit of a shock entry
to the world, but...
499
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,855
ANDREW LAUGHS
500
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,455
...she's looking well, isn't she?
Yeah.
501
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,135
She's got plenty of milk, then,
at least, has she? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
502
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,095
Here, she's a good cow, isn't she?
She's a big lass.
503
00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:20,455
I was thinking, Andy, you know,
504
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,175
it's a good job she was as wide
as she was. She opened really well.
505
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,855
Yeah.
Going from hardly anything
506
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,215
to the width that she was
to get that calf out,
507
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,375
she did bloody well.
Yeah.
508
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,535
Ancl she's not looked back since?
She doesn't look any worse for wear.
509
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,975
Yeah?
No, what about it, she's good.
510
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,535
Grand calf. Good legs on it,
hasn't it? Yeah.
511
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,615
You know, it's gonna be a good...
Yeah. You're gonna be a good size.
512
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,855
HE CHUCKLES
It's not hanging around.
513
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,055
The calf is looking fantastic, she's
really strong, she's growing nicely.
514
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,935
Mum's clone really well with her.
515
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,975
Andrew's put a lot of effort into
making sure they've got a good bond,
516
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,255
and, well, they're both
gonna be here for life now,
517
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,455
which is great news.
518
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:04,375
It's so nice to see
the fruits of your lab our.
519
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,295
One of what is, I think, the most
rewarding visits in veterinary
520
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,655
is a successful calving.
521
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,135
So to see them both doing so well
makes my clay.
522
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,935
While a Yorkshire vet
travels around the countryside
523
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,575
caring for creatures
great and small,
524
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,175
recently, it was one of the vets
who needed help.
525
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,295
Viking Ken,
Viking Ken from Viking Control.
526
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:34,655
Do you read me? Over.
527
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,615
And it was the local mountain rescue
team who rushed to Julian's aid.
528
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,695
There's one party setting off now.
529
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,375
They're going
to the other side of Roseberry,
530
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,655
where we think the casualty is.
531
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,455
SIREN WAILS
532
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,895
In the shadow of the iconic hill
Roseberry Topping,
533
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,575
this army of volunteers
534
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,535
keep an eye out for people
who find themselves in trouble.
535
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,255
And a month after
they rushed to the scene
536
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,775
of his serious
mountain bike accident,
537
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,255
Julian's come to say thanks
to the team.
538
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,895
Hi, Tim. You all right?
Hi, Julian.
539
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,135
You all right?
How you doing?
540
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,775
Nice to see you.
Hey. Yeah.
541
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,415
I brought you a cake
as a thank you in here. Oh.
542
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,815
But yeah, I'm a lot better than the
first time I met you and your guys.
543
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,095
A lot better than the last time
you met us, yeah! Yeah, yeah.
544
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:25,935
So, what do you remember of the clay?
545
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,575
I mean, you're out mountain biking,
and then what?
546
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,055
What do you remember of it?
547
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,295
Well, it's a good question.
548
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,695
I remember going over
a bit of a lump and crashing.
549
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,975
And I remember a lot of pain.
And then I couldn't stand up.
550
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,655
And then it became pretty evident
551
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,135
I wasn't gonna get off
unless somebody came to carry me.
552
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,415
So, there was a big team
that came to rescue me.
553
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,375
Yeah, yeah, in order
to be able to carry you out.
554
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,095
We knew we were gonna
need to carry you out.
555
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,295
Ancl some of the people
who were on your rescue are here,
556
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,895
so do you wanna come and meet them?
Actually, I'd love to meet them
557
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,455
and give them my thanks
and gratitude, yeah. Let's do that.
558
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,455
I'm just still going quite slowly,
I'm afraid.
559
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,815
Hello. Crikey, a big team.
LAUGHTER
560
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,455
Loads of people.
I brought a cake,
561
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,735
but I don't think it's gonna be
big enough for everybody!
562
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,135
LAUGHTER
563
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,575
That's very kind of you.
Thank you.
564
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,415
Well, thank you.
No, thank you for rescuing me.
565
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,215
One of the things that was amazing
was you all had come to get me,
566
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,015
and then in the middle of the woods,
567
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,055
I'm getting
a proper doctor's assessment
568
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,415
and a medical examination.
As it started snowing,
569
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,375
and as it's starting to go dark,
but yeah.
570
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,815
Yeah, well it was snowing,
wasn't it? Yeah, yeah.
571
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,535
Some big snowflakes
were coming down.
572
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,815
I'd done a good job of snapping it,
hadn't I?
573
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,495
LAUGHTER
574
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,095
I was just really annoyed
that I'd fallen off.
575
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:37,655
And I felt...
What I remember thinking was,
576
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,455
"What a palaver! All these people's
afternoon's that have been messed up
577
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,815
"just cos of a simple,
silly mistake."
578
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,535
Casualties, when we find them, are
often really apologetic for that,
579
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,335
but most of us are really delighted
to be called away from work
580
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,775
or mowing the lawn or whatever
else it is that we're doing.
581
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,775
It was really nice.
There was absolutely no judgement
582
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,055
as to, you know,
what an idiot this person is.
583
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,215
LAUGHTER
584
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,575
Julian, is there any parallels
585
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,375
between your injury
and your recovery
586
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,375
and how you treat your own animals?
587
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,615
Do you know what, I've had about
five or six "get well" cards,
588
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,735
and they all say, "At least you
don't have to wear a plastic cone!"
589
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,015
Yeah.
LAUGHTER
590
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,015
So, that would be bad, yeah.
591
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,095
It's a lemon drizzle cake.
It's a "thank you", really.
592
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,135
I've felt so grateful
of everything that you all did.
593
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,375
So, yeah, thank you
for saving my life. Thank you.
594
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,375
Well, thanks for coming along
and showing your interest.
595
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,935
Ancl supporting mountain rescue.
Not at all, yeah, and thank you.
596
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,175
Nice to see everybody out
of the danger zone kind of thing.
597
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,135
Cheerio! Thank you, everybody!
Bye, all the best. Cheers. Bye!
598
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,895
I don't know what I would have done
without the mountain rescue team.
599
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,455
I really don't
what I would have done.
600
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,215
I can't say anything more
than how amazing they are.
601
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,255
At the surgery
near Huddersfield...
602
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,775
Oh. Oh, my...
603
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,415
...Rohin and Nurse jade are trying
to save a homeless kitten
604
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,895
with a large lump in her stomach.
605
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,695
It's rock hard. The stomach
is really, really distended.
606
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,335
A lot more full than it should be.
607
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,055
We need to get that material
out of there.
608
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,455
Ancl the only way
is gonna be to cut inside
609
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,375
and remove all the material
bit by bit, whatever it is.
610
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,055
After growing fond
of the little stray,
611
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,415
the team are feeling the pressure.
612
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,895
So, I've just got some warm fluids
now, just to moisten the swabs.
613
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,255
I'll go for it. You ready?
614
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,655
We'll try and keep the hole
as small as we can.
615
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,335
It looks like it's gonna smell.
I think it's gotta be bigger.
616
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,175
I'm wary of creating a big wound,
617
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,015
but it is gonna have to be a big...
big incision to get this out.
618
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,175
Oh, what's that?
Oh, poor cat!
619
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,055
It's got to go even bigger, this,
it's still not coming out.
620
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,175
Oh, it's literally putrid.
621
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,375
I have never seen
anything like that.
622
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,495
It's actually, erm...
Oh, my God, it's just fur!
623
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,015
It's actually adhered
to the stomach wall,
624
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,335
so I'm gonna be really careful
pulling that out.
625
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,695
Ohh!
626
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,015
Oh! Here, put it on there.
Put it in there.
627
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:26,455
We've gotta be super careful now
628
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,015
not to let this
go back in the abdomen.
629
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,735
Eurgh! Oh, I've just smelt it.
Oh, God.
630
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,135
I've never seen anything like
that before. It stinks as well.
631
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,735
It is the most putrid thing
I've ever smelt. Erm...
632
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,095
It could be a dead animal
that's been rotting.
633
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,015
I'm suspicious those could actually
be fly eggs that are attached to it.
634
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,615
I want to be quite rapid
at stitching this up
635
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,455
before any infected material has
a chance of getting in the abdomen.
636
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,535
There's a real risk of infection
if we're not careful here.
637
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,095
If this slips back in,
it's a disaster, really, isn't it?
638
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,095
I can't emphasise enough how much
I'm sweating under this gown.
639
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,775
I think it's a combination
of high-stakes surgery
640
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,895
and very warm room.
641
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,015
Would you like me to mop your brow?
Erm, if you don't mind.
642
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,375
I think.
Is that the whole...? Thank you.
643
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,055
So, we're just carefully checking
the rest of the abdomen as well,
644
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,015
make sure there's no other hidden
surprises that could cause an issue.
645
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,815
But it feels OK.
There's a little bit of stuff there,
646
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,015
but I think
that should pass through.
647
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,535
That's fine. Thank you.
Let's close this up.
648
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,335
Right, final stitch there
in the skin.
649
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:37,735
All right.
We'll get her woken up,
650
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,175
and it's all down to her then,
isn't it, to recover.
651
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,615
Mm-hm.
There we go. All clone.
652
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,295
It's gotta be up there with the most
bizarre surgery I've ever clone.
653
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,575
To see that size
of horrible, foreign material
654
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,935
come out of such a small cat,
it's really quite remarkable.
655
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,415
You couldn't write it. All that
nasty material has come out.
656
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,975
I've sweated buckets,
but I'm just pleased it's gone.
657
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,335
We're gonna give her
round-the-clock attention
658
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,055
to see how she recovers from this,
give her plenty of pain relief,
659
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,455
plenty of antibiotics as well.
660
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,735
Ancl if she gets through
the next two clays OK,
661
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,975
without any complication,
662
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,375
hopefully, we can get her rehomed
and have a nice life.
663
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,335
Still to come...
664
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,095
Hello.
Hello, stranger.
665
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,615
You all right?
How are you?
666
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,655
...an unfortunate reminder of his
knee trouble from Julian's patient.
667
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,575
His left knee cap's
slipping in and out a bit.
668
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,215
I've become quite sensitive
about all things patella.
669
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,175
And things aren't comfy
for Peter's client.
670
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,135
You're looking very summery today.
Thong's a little uncomfortable!
671
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,975
But is Betsy better?
672
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:48,000
It's push me, pull me, isn't it?
Yeah! To me, to you.
673
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,815
CHRISTOPHER TIMOTHY:
At the clinic near Huddersfield,
674
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,095
it's been two weeks
since Rohin was shocked
675
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,215
during surgery on a stray kitten.
676
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:58,855
It's literally putrid.
677
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,175
I have never seen
anything like that.
678
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,455
It was a very dramatic operation
679
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,415
with the biggest foreign body
I've ever seen -
680
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,535
it was absolutely enormous.
681
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,255
Today, we're gonna
take the stitches out,
682
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,495
and we'll see how she's healing.
683
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,095
There she is. You've got
a chunky little fat face now.
684
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,535
CHUCKLING
685
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,775
Shall we have a look at you, then?
686
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,215
So... I'd be really interested
to see, Beth, how much she weighs,
687
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:29,855
cos it's been two weeks,
688
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,615
and I honestly can't believe
how much bigger she looks,
689
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,175
she's absolutely...
Yeah.
690
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,775
There we go. So, she's gained
about half a kilo in two weeks.
691
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,135
She's just gone from strength to
strength. Really pleased with that.
692
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,615
With the homeless kitten
winning the hearts of the team,
693
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,615
veterinary care
has turned to foster care.
694
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,255
She's been staying with me. I...
695
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,375
Originally, the plan was
to take her home for the weekend.
696
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,935
But then she sort of
attached herself to me.
697
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,175
So, have you got a name,
698
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,455
seeing as though you've had her
for a couple of weeks?
699
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,375
Yeah, I was trying not to name her
700
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,495
because I didn't want to get too
attached. But she does have a name.
701
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,895
Her name is Minnie Singh.
Oh, love that!
702
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,735
Singh means lion or warrior,
703
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,015
cos she is a bit of a warrior,
I think. Absolutely.
704
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,295
All being well,
we can take all those stitches out.
705
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,295
Good girl, Minnie. Good girl.
Ready?
706
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,375
Oh, that looks brilliant.
Looks good, doesn't it?
707
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,255
Not to compliment my own work.
No, it's really good.
708
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,015
It's quite an extensive wound,
you know,
709
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,375
across the length of her abdomen.
710
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,815
It had to be,
but it's held together perfectly.
711
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,295
I just can't believe
how good she is.
712
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,575
I think I've got them all.
Let me just check.
713
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,135
So, that looks... great.
714
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,655
She looks as good
as she possibly can do,
715
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,655
to be honest with you,
at this point.
716
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,615
It's really, really good to see.
I'm really happy with that.
717
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,935
So, seeing as though you've had her,
and she's all recovered now,
718
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,375
are you gonna keep her?
719
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,615
Honestly, I'm struggling a bit
with that. I'm busy enough as it is.
720
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,895
But she is one special cat.
She really is.
721
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,335
But a few weeks later, back home
with Rohin, his dad and sister...
722
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,135
She likes that.
She likes this.
723
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,015
...Minnie Singh
doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
724
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,895
That's her favourite spot.
725
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,775
Everyone's got quite attached
to her, and next thing you know,
726
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,295
you've bought a velvet collar
and a cactus-shaped scratching post,
727
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,575
and then it's hard to say no
after that.
728
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,935
I've always been a dog person,
729
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,135
so I just never saw myself
wanting to have a cat,
730
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,735
but she's just...
She's not like your typical cat.
731
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,895
She so affectionate.
She's so playful.
732
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,815
She always wants to be next to you,
doesn't she?
733
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,215
So I think that's
how she's won us over.
734
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:42,815
Yeah, I think if the cat leaves now,
there will be a vacuum,
735
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,815
and everybody
would actually miss her a lot.
736
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,175
I must say,
I would as well, actually. Yeah.
737
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,735
So, this is Minnie's special,
custom-made velvet collar.
738
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:52,935
CHUCKLING
739
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,695
There you go.
What do you think of that?
740
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:58,095
I think that is very, very stylish.
741
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,055
She's in paradise now.
She's living the good life.
742
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,695
This was never the plan, but...
743
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,975
I think she's definitely
part of the family now.
744
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,935
TOY SQUEAKS
745
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:21,535
Across Yorkshire, Julian's been
like a lost soul recently.
746
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,855
But five weeks after surgery
on his ruptured patella ligament,
747
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,255
he's hoping to feel back home
at the Wetherby practice.
748
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,775
Here I am.
Aw, nice to have you back.
749
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,175
Back in the fray.
GIGGLING
750
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,695
Yeah, I feel like I've been out
of action for quite a long time.
751
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,095
Aw, bless you, we've missed you,
752
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,895
and the clients
have all missed you as well.
753
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,375
And he might even get some sympathy
754
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,255
from his regular sparring partner,
Nurse Lucy.
755
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,935
Hello.
Hello, stranger.
756
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,455
You all right?
How are you?
757
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,095
Good, yeah.
How's your leg?
758
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,095
All right, yeah. Have you missed me?
I have missed you.
759
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,615
Really?
What you been doing?
760
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:01,415
I've mainly been pottering around
and sitting on the sofa. Hoovering?
761
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,455
That's a right device, that.
Yeah.
762
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,495
The surgeon said
I should be at 90 degrees now.
763
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,855
So I don't like
to go more than...
764
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,655
Anything that hurts,
I don't like to do.
765
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,975
Have you seen pictures of it? No.
Here we are, this is the rescue.
766
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,055
That's, this is me
having fallen off the snow.
767
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,655
Is it snowing?
Snowing, yeah.
768
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,495
Look, that's my knee.
Urgh. Ooh!
769
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,295
So it's quite a big old wound.
770
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,135
Right, now you're back,
let's get some work clone.
771
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,495
Get some work clone.
Consulting, please.
772
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,855
I don't really know
what's in store for me today.
773
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,815
I'm hoping for a nice
gentle morning of consults,
774
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,175
one or two cute puppies,
and maybe some kittens.
775
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,815
I don't really want anything
too challenging,
776
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,775
and I don't want any big, heavy clogs
777
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,655
that need to be either lifted up
or examined on the floor,
778
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,015
cos I think,
if I get down on the floor,
779
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,655
I'll probably
not be able to get up again.
780
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,255
Where's she gone?
There she is!
781
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,815
And just as the vet ordered,
782
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,215
his first patients
are three Pomeranian puppies.
783
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,415
They are gorgeous, aren't they?
They are lovely.
784
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,775
Hello!
Have we got some puppies?
785
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,775
Some cute puppies, by the looks
of it. Like cotton wool balls.
786
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,975
There we go.
Come through.
787
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,775
So, how are these, then?
They're doing really well.
788
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,215
Just checking over at this point,
yep? just a check over, yeah.
789
00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:19,255
So, how old are they?
They're eight weeks.
790
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,855
This is Frankie.
CHUCKLING: Hi, Frankie.
791
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,215
Can you tell them apart?
Yeah, yeah.
792
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,415
Hello!
Are you all right, little one?
793
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,695
WHISPERING: Aw, cute, aren't they?
794
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,935
Quite a few things to check for -
795
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,935
testicles is the important
in young male puppies.
796
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,495
They're both there.
Yeah.
797
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,055
I'm just feeling his kneecap.
798
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,415
His left kneecap's
slipping in and out a bit.
799
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,215
But not that that's
any great a concern,
800
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:46,495
it might very well tighten up.
801
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,895
I've become quite sensitive
about all things patella,
802
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,895
since that's what happened to me...
803
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,695
which is why
I'm hobbling around so much.
804
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,295
I don't think yours
is as big a problem as mine was.
805
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,615
SHE CHUCKLES
That's for sure.
806
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,535
Good, so he passes the test.
807
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,495
Pretty much the first patient back,
808
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,855
and lo and behold,
it's got a patella issue.
809
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,295
It seems that patella is a word
I can't get out of my mind.
810
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,575
Good!
Benny, you pass the test as well.
811
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,175
He looks nice, doesn't he?
SHE CH UCKLES
812
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,935
SHE COOS AFFECTIONATELY
813
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,335
But three very cute,
fluffy puppies to check over
814
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,495
is pretty much
the perfect way back to work.
815
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,295
Too little to jump up, eh?
Too little to jump up, eh?
816
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:35,855
Everybody was well behaved,
817
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,375
and three pretty much
clean bills of health,
818
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,575
so nice first clay back.
819
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:52,455
Near Thirsk,
820
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,975
Peter's just arrived back
at his old friend Graham's.
821
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:57,415
Here's Peter.
822
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:02,815
It's like a welcoming party!
823
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,495
If you don't mind me saying so,
you're looking very summery today.
824
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,215
Well, you're not
the first one to say that.
825
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:10,335
Thong's a little bit uncomfortable!
PETER LAUGHS
826
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,495
But you know...
827
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,135
I wondered why you were
walking like that.
828
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,455
THEY LAUGH
829
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,255
I might not be able
to find it tonight!
830
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,415
Recently, Graham's pony
was feeling uncomfortable,
831
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,575
and Peter treated
some skin tumours on her groin.
832
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,535
Horrible, those sarcoids.
They are horrible things.
833
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,335
But by doing what we've clone,
834
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,575
it gives us a really good chance
at sorting Betsy's problems out.
835
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,175
It's push me, pull me, isn't it?
Yeah. To me, to you.
836
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,695
Come on.
837
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,055
Right, Betsy.
Good lass.
838
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,615
She's a good patient, isn't she?
839
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,375
Yep. Very happy with that.
Very happy.
840
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,375
There we are, Betsy.
Got rid of that nasty thing for you.
841
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,775
Good.
Well, that's the job clone.
842
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,055
I'm pleased with that.
Brand new now!
843
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,695
THEY LAUGH
844
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:03,335
Her recovery was very good.
I'm quite happy.
845
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,655
Graham and his family
really do care about their animals.
846
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,015
Ancl we have lots of banter,
847
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,095
and Graham always
gets the upper hand on that.
848
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,575
I'll have a word with Christine,
see if there's anything else
849
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,775
that she'd like me to put
a rubber band on while I'm here.
850
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,055
My wallet?
THEY LAUGH
851
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,975
But underneath it all,
he's a big softie,
852
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,495
especially where his family
and his animals are concerned.
853
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,175
Well, er, everything's working.
Everything's fine.
854
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:35,975
THEY CHUCKLE
855
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,775
At least she's got up for one.
856
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,775
THEY LAUGH
