I'm going to be late.
- I'll have that, thank you.
- That's mine.
- See you later.
- Hey!
- See you.
- Bye.
- Kate?
- Yeah?
What did I do with that list?
I've got seven sheep dippings
to check this morning.
- You filed it.
- Thank you.
See you lunchtime.
No, you won't!
Sally's coming up
from York, remember?
Well, if I don't see her,
give her my love.
Where's my toast?!
See you!
Come along, Ventress.
You can move faster than that.
I want this place smarten up.
I'll never find anything again.
Inspector Crossley's not catching me
out. He could be here any minute.
What makes you so certain, sarge.
Because I know the way
his mind works, Bellamy.
And we can't have him thinking
standards have dropped
since he was a wet-behind-the-ears
constable like you.
Faster, faster.

Hello.
- Are you looking for Nick?
- Constable Rowan.
That's right. He's sheep dipping.
- I'm Kate Rowan.
- Alistair Crossley.
Well, it's certainly an
unusual police house.
I'm between surgeries,
I think that's the phrase.
- If you'll excuse me.
- Of course.
The needs of the
patient comes first.
I'll catch up with your husband
in Ashfordly, I'm sure.
Yes, you probably will.
And, er, if I am ever taken
ill in Aidensfield,
I'm sure I couldn't
be in better hands.
- Hello, Mrs. Bannaghan.
- Hello.
- I'll leave you to it, then.
- Bye-bye.
Right, Mr. Hasworth,
come on through.
CLOCK TICKING
So, where is he, then?
- Perhaps he's not coming.
- He'll come.
And for ten things right,
he'll find 11 things wrong.
I know him.
SHEEP BLEATING
Cheers, thank you.
I appreciate that things
are done differently
out in the sticks, Sergeant.
But charming as Kate
Rowan might be,
I do not expect to walk into
a North Riding police house
and find the equivalent
of a refugee camp.
Rowan assures me it's
only temporary, sir.
The police house at Aidensfield
is not available for its proper use.
It's a melting pot for every German
virus in the neighbourhood,
and it's being used
to run a business.
That's strictly forbidden.
Well, Mrs. Rowan is
the local doctor, sir.
A business is a business.
When I was a constable
you didn't treat the rule book
in quite such a cavalier fashion,
did you, Sergeant?
I'll speak to Rowan, sir.
Ashfordly is now
under direct command
from subdivisional headquarters
in Whitby, Sergeant.
So, if a shakeup is needed
then a shakeup there will be.
While you see it your way ♪

- Knowing that I ♪

Aidensfield Arms. Hang on.
Hello? Yeah, Brian!
You do? Oh, brilliant! When?
Yeah, yeah. I can do Sunday.
Great. Ta-ra. Ta-ra.
Well?
Well, he said he'd phone
today, and he did.
- Huh?
- Brian.
With the club in Whitby.
He came in last week.
- He said I had a great voice.
- Oh, him!
I don't know as it was your voice
He wants me to sing
in his club on Sunday!
I told you he was serious.
Look, you can't just go and
I mean, there's more to
singing than just singing.
He's only after one thing, him.
Oh Thanks a bunch!
Mobility is the key to policing now.
That means the end of
old-fashioned beat-pounding
and the introduction of an
up-to-date car patrol system.
So, you're Constable
Rowan, I take it.
- A pity you couldn't be here earlier.
- Sir?
Inspector Crossley will be

- From now on, Ashfordly comes under
direct command from subdivisional
headquarters in Whitby.
Sergeant Blaketon has been trying
to get you on the radio, Rowan.
It's a big sheep dipping day.
For scab, up on the Moors.
I was out of range.
- Always a good excuse.
- No, sir.
New equipment should
soon sort that out.
We can put a man
into space, after all.
BELLAMY SCOFFS
Anyway
the Chief Constable has decided
it's time the command structure
was brought up to date.
So I shall always be paying my
visits at short notice, if any.
I think that's the best way to
find out what's really going on.
Now, the changes in the towns will
be mirrored in the countryside, too.
Sergeant Blaketon has
maps of the larger areas
to be patrolled by rural officers.
Your area, Rowan, will now stretch
to the outskirts of Whitby.
That's all for now. Thank you, men.
- Sergeant Blaketon.
- Thank you, sir.
- Men.
- ALL: Thank you, sir.
Oh, by the way, there won't be
any passengers on my division.
Rowan?
I called in at Aidensfield
this morning
and was rather surprised
to find myself
in the middle of a doctor's surgery.
- It can get a bit chaotic.
- That's putting it mildly.
Now, I expect you to
sort it out, and fast.
Yes, sir.
You wouldn't have got away
with that in the Met, Rowan.
- Don't think you will here.
- No, sir.
That's all.
There he is, Clive.
There's our Mr. Greengrass.
WHISPERS: Come on.
TRUCK ENGINE TURNS OVER
Doesn't look like he's
sitting on a small fortune.
I've got a nose for these things.
I'm sure it's full.
I don't mind charging, you know,
if it's been spilt on t'forecourt
if you're not satisfied.
That's four and six.
Don't say you left your
money at home again.
I'll be back.
ENGINE TURNS OVER
A lot of old furniture.
It looks like rubbish.
Maybe antiques.
Greengrass will be
a mattress merchant.
There'll be wads of money
all over the place.

We can't just walk in.

Reflections of my life
We're still looking for our house.
Nick needs a bit of pushing
but I'm up to that.
So, what's your news?
I've decided to take the plunge.
I'm leaving the hospital.
General practice? Where?
Still in York.
Four practices pooling resources.
We're moving into a
brand-new health centre.
New equipment, our own X-ray.
You lucky thing!
Proper facilities for clinics.
A pharmacy, you name it.
And you're here to gloat.
Sounds terrific. Here's to it.
How committed are
you to Aidensfield?
Eh?
I always thought you
came back as much
because you're bloody-
minded as anything.
Show them you could take
on a country practice.
Oh, come on, Sal.
There was more to it than that.
It's what we both wanted.
Now you've proved it, what next?
A house with enough
room for a surgery.
Seriously, Kate.
My partners in York want another GP.
- A woman.
- I'm not looking for a job.
We were talking about
you the other night.
They'd like you to join.
Yes, well, I'm very flattered,
but I've hardly established
myself in Aidensfield.
Do you remember how we used
to sit up till four in the morning,
planning how we'd bring general
practice out of the dark ages?
- Just the two of us.
- I remember the hangovers.
They're serious about
offering you the job.
Sally, I'm not even thinking
about moving.
It's my turn.
I said it was temporary, Sarge.
Doesn't sound very
temporary to me, Rowan.
Nor to Inspector Crossley.
KNOCKING
- Well?
- Greengrass on the phone for Nick.
Greengrass!
Well, I suppose we should be grateful
he didn't call into the police house
and drop off a dead rabbit while
Inspector Crossley was there.
He says he's been burgled.
Oh, not again.
Rowan, sort him out.

Well, how would you feel if
you had this hanging over you?
Are you going to come to court?
Of course I'll be there.
"I mean, what's going
to happen, Oscar?"
Joan, I don't know
what's going to happen.
The important thing
is that Graham copes.
If only you'd put a stop to
this when I asked you to.
"We're not helping him by
rowing about it either, Joan."
Don't you shout at me!
Well, don't shout at me and
tell me I'm shouting at you!
Well, you are.
Oh, forget it.
LINE GOES DEAD
You've taken your time
getting here, haven't you?
They could be halfway
to the A1 by now.
Well, I'm hardly equipped
for hot pursuit.
I sometimes wonder what
you are equipped for.
If you just tell me
what's been stolen
- As a matter of fact, nowt.
- Well, you said you'd been robbed.
No, I didn't.
I said I'd been burgled.
They would've had a lot of it if it
hadn't been for Alfred, wouldn't they?
- There were two of them, you say.
- Ah, a man and a woman.
- What sort of car?
- Sort of green.
- Or blue.
- Dark or light?
Well, it were it were
sort of brownish.
- Brownish blue?
- Yeah.
Or green.
- Make?
- I don't know!
I were trying to stop myself being
smashed to bits at the time, wasn't I?
I don't suppose you got a
look at the licence plate?
Pfft! You don't half want
your job doing for you.
It were a Triumph!
Or an Hillman.
Can we have a receipt, please.
Yeah, sure.
They want a receipt.
Three shillings.
I said I was sorry, Gina.
I only meant it wasn't just your
voice he was interested in.
That's charming, isn't it?
From me own uncle.
I think you've got a lovely voice.
- There you go. Ta-ra now.

I'm not trying to stop you, Gina.
Good, cause I'm a free agent.

Oi, oi, oi! What's going on?
Oh, the cavalry's arrived.
Late, as usual.
Constable, arrest this man.
He's completely mad.
I've been doing your
job again, haven't I?
These two are my flamin' burglars.
Constable, we are Inland
Revenue collectors,
investigating irregularities
in Mr. Greengrass' tax.
He's driven us off the road,
threatened us and severely
damaged this car.
Inland Revenue!
Even I've never thought of that one.
- Hang on a minute.

Inland Revenue is
exactly who they are.
How do?
I like the look of this one.
Aiming a bit high, aren't we?
I asked for a selection.
It will give us an idea of
what places are going for.
Too much.
If that village hall
doesn't work out,
you'll have to think about
renting a shop or something.
That Inspector Crossley
wasn't joking.
And neither was Blaketon,
once he'd finished with him.
I'm surprised the Inspector
was being difficult.
He was absolutely charming to me.
Are you sure Blaketon
wasn't playing him up?
Believe me, that Crossley
comes fully played-up.
We'll sort something out.
Tea's up.
It'll take more than a cup of tea.
I've been having a
talk with Mostyn

Then we could come

Now, Mr. Greengrass,
you are not denying that the sale
of land to the Ministry of Defence
resulted in a profit of £25,000.
25,000?!
Where did you get a fairy
story like that from?
I have the MoD documents
in front of me.
If we regard this money as income,
you will pay income tax
on the first £2,000
and surtax on the remaining £23,000.
If we regard it as capital gains,
you will pay eight and three in
the pound on the whole sum.
HE MUMBLES
I-I-I'm not really with you.
There will be a bill for
between ten and £12,000.
It's daylight robbery, is that.
There is also the question
of interest on the unpaid tax.
Then there's the fact that
you've paid no income tax
since April 1953.
I-I know, but I've earned nowt.
We believe you've earned money
in various ways, Mr. Greengrass.
Trapping and selling animals.
Rabbits, hares, fish, game.
I I know. That's poaching.
I mean, you can't tax somebody
for doing something that's illegal.
I mean I mean
it's not really right.
Tax is due on all income.
Even when acquired
by nefarious means.
You can't get money out of a
man as can't pay, can you?
We think you can.
The courts don't look very
favourably on noncompliance.
Prison sentences are not uncommon.
STUTTERS: Prison?
You may be wise to avail yourself
of the services of an accountant,
Mr. Greengrass.
We are going to be seeing
a lot more of each other.
Good day.
PHONE RINGS
Dr. Rowan.
Kate, I got a message to ring you.
Yes, I got a letter from James
Radcliffe this morning.
I hardly know the man.
"Well, I might have
mentioned you to him."
Obviously, somebody else
you've been talking to.
I just said you might be
looking for something.
I'm not looking for a job.
"But he's not talking
about a new job, Kate,"
"just a slightly different one."
And Whitby's not
that far for you, is it?
No.
No, I hadn't thought
of it like that.
Yeah.
All right, I'll think again.
See you, Sally. Bye-bye.
What we need here is the truth.
HE STUTTERS
You see, it's not as
simple as that, is it?
Mr. Greengrass, this
is costing you money.
How much?
Well, the trouble is,
apart from the tax you'll pay
on your wee windfall
the unpaid income tax
will be charged at a sum
that you can't really argue with,
because you earned it, shall we say,
not entirely within the law.
They're a lot of thieves.
I once advised a greengrocer
who paid no tax at all in 25 years.
I told him that if he wasn't
considering changing his name
and getting on a boat to Australia,
that I'd work out what the Inland
Revenue might accept as an offer.
It was going to be a tidy amount.
Anyway, he phoned
me six weeks later,
told me he no longer
required my services.
Sounded a long way away.
He was somewhere in
the Northern Territory.
Do you think they'll give
us a discount for cash?
BOTH LAUGH
No, I reckon we've got it made.
Cos with Blaketon in Ashfordly,
this Crossley fella in Whitby
and a couple of hundred
square miles in between,
they'll never know where we are.
Word is, when Crossley
was a constable,
Blaketon used to give
him a hard time.
- And now he's his inspector.
- Exactly.
I wonder how his son
went on in court today.
I don't know.
I hope they didn't
give him a hard time.
This income tax looks as if
it's getting Claude down.
Serves him right.
He never pays his bills.
Should have been
locked up years ago.
I think we ought to invite
him to Whitby with us.
Might bring him out of himself.
If you want him, you ask him.
You okay to come to Whitby?
I might need police
protection, you know.
You can have it any
time you want, Gina.
Now, come on, it's been ages
since we had a day out.
I think it's a great idea.
I'd hate to miss Gina's debut.
I'd have put money on you saying
we should be out looking for houses.
Oh, we should.
Irresponsibility wins, though.
What are you up to?
- Up to?
- Yeah.
Oh, I see.
You only want a day out at the
seaside if you have to twist my arm.
So twist my arm then.
Anything else?
Yeah.

Nick, before we commit ourselves
to a house we can't really afford

We've got to take
all that into account.

staying in Aidensfield

Why didn't you tell me before?
There wasn't anything to tell
until a couple of days ago.
And not even then, exactly.
So what is this job?
It's not a job.
It's amalgamating practices.
A version of the group practice
Sally's going into in York.
I don't want to work
in a city, Kate.
We wouldn't have
to live in the city.
I don't feel I'm doing the job I
should be doing in Aidensfield.
I need to be a doctor now.
And that means having the same
resources as everyone else.
And that means amalgamation.
Group practice.
We can't finance anything
on that scale.
But this Dr. Radcliffe can?
He's got the biggest
practice in Whitby.
But he can't handle it
all on his own just now.
So it's come at an ideal
time for both of us.
So we don't move to York,
but we do move to Whitby?
I haven't made any decision yet.
I haven't even answered his letter.
I thought I'd talk to
my husband first.

We can't expect either of them
to stay the same forever.

- No, I haven't.
- Have you lost him?

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young,
that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm
When you've found
something going on.
- Well, you could be fitter.
- Yeah.
GRAHAM EXHALES
Well, I'm glad you came up. Thanks.
Look at this view.
Well, sit down.
Your mother and me came
here when we were courting.
I loved your mother very much,
you know.
And she felt the same about me then.
- Yeah, that's history.
- Aye.
My history, hers
yours.
Nah, nowt to do with me.
I don't know why you're bothering.
I'm a failure, right?
School, Mum, you.
And now Sergeant Blaketon's
son's been in court.
When your mother
and me started off
we thought it would
all be like this.
And when things weren't right
we just pretended they would
come right by themselves.
And when they didn't
and the years went by
it was too late.
We didn't know each other any more.
- Was that my fault?
- No.
It was our fault.
I let her down,
we let each other down.
But most of all
we let you down.
And there's nothing
I can do about that.
Except say I'm sorry.
You know, I wasn't born
with sergeant's stripes on
- whatever your mother might say.
- I know, Dad.
Well, we could try again.
We can work it out
And get it straight
or say good night
We can work it out

- Great.
- Brilliant.
- I got this for Alfred.
- Oh, aye?
Not a bad swap.
THEY LAUGH
- Oh, aye.
- 'Ey, Phil, don't worry about it.
- We won't say anything.
- I just hope they don't identify me.
- Ah, they won't.
- Well, mum's the word, eh?
- Aye, all right. Mum's the word.
- George.
- It'll be right.
- I hope so.
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I
am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might
fall apart before too long
We can work it out
Life is very short

For fussing and fighting,

'Ey, he's earned that.
HE LAUGHS
So I will ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I

might fall apart before too long

LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING
I'm reading about you
in the paper, Rowan.
There's an article here
in the Yorkshire Post
about the drowned man.
Mentions you.
And there's another piece.
A journalist seems to think
it humorous about a brawl
in an amusement arcade.
Started by a large fat man
with a smelly lurcher
who appeared to be using the
dog to fiddle one-armed bandits.
Unlikely.
"The owner took exception,
and a disturbance ensued."
"Lurcher and owner disappeared
with two accomplices."
"One of them claimed to be a constable
in the North Riding Constabulary."
Unlikely, in the extreme!
I don't know any constables
who are capable of aiding
and abetting a dog.
Do you, Bellamy?
Good morning.
Ready for inspection,
Sergeant Blaketon?
Ready and waiting, sir.
Now, before we start,
presumably you've heard what
happened in Whitby from Rowan.
- Very sad, sir.
- Mm.
There's also a scurrilous
article in the newspaper
about a fracas in an
amusement arcade.
A fracas, sir?
A man who claimed
to be a police officer.
Really, sir?
I assume no-one else was in
Whitby yesterday afternoon.
Well, I certainly wasn't, sir.
BLAKETON CHUCKLES
Shall we start with the paperwork?
Perhaps we should start with
the custody records, Sergeant.
Right, sir. This way.
Bellamy cup of tea
for the inspector.
Yes, Sarge.
When are you going to
see this Dr. Radcliffe?
Wednesday.
Oh
If we ever felt Aidensfield
wasn't right
there are other villages.
We wouldn't have to
change what we want.
It's not going to be easy
to leave, though, is it?
I promised you a lot of things
- but I never
BOTH: said it would be easy.
You're right, though.
It's beautiful.
