All Creatures Great and Small1978

James:
Hello, Mrs. Pumphery.

Mrs. Pumphrey:
Oh, Mr. Herriot, thank heavens you've come.

James:
Flop-bot again?

Mrs. Pumphrey:
Tricki's rear end simply refuses to relinquish contact with the ground.

James:
Ah, same problem. And the same cause I expect.

Mrs. Pumphrey:
Well, I'm sure I haven't been neglectful. He's exercised regularly. Hodgekin takes him for a turn round the garden at least three times a day.

James:
Like that, you mean? [looking towards gardener with dog in his arms]

Mrs. Pumphrey:
Well... yes.

James:
It won't do Mrs. Pumphrey. If Tricki-Woo is to benefit he must be allowed to walk on his own legs. Hmm?
