All Creatures Great and Small: 7x10

Old Dogs, New Tricks

Siegfried takes a close friend to task for wasting his own talents as a veterinary surgeon. Ewan Ross — « the best horse man north of the Humber » has let his career slide gently into the whiskey bottle after the death of his wife. But Siegfried is determined to make use of his considerable skills. A valuable racehorse with a strangulated hernia could provide Siegfried with not only a way of striking back at « vets in Bentleys », but also putting Ewan on the straight and narrow. James, meanwhile, is strangely reluctant to take on responsibility for Mrs. Pumphrey’s beloved Tricky-Woo when she announces that she is off to France. But Siegfried caves in under the persuasive skills of Mrs. Pumphrey and Tricky-Woo moves into Skeldale.
