Dalby is burning through her cash reserves and winter hay pile. The throat injections failed to stave off the illness and Mrs. Tom finds two of the stirks (older calves) dead and a few more are severely ill. Dalby, things aren’t looking too good for her herd and James is running out of ideas.
#Band of brothers episode 3 summary free#
He asks Helen if she’s free the next evening to go out on a date!!! FINALLY!! James’ initial plan was to take her to the Drovers, but for once Tristan had decent advice and advised him to take her to the Renniston as it’s fancier and makes a better impression. Hall posted is at least a delay on the job Mama Herriot accepted on James’ behalf. On the way back from the Dalbys, James stops by the Alderson house to talk to Helen. The hens so far are alive and uninjured, they just need to start laying some eggs for future Skeldale House breakfasts. Hall rightfully calls out Siegfried for being far too harsh on Tristan. Her butler drops off Tricki Woo for Uncle Herriot to dogsit. Pumphrey, on the other hand, has a ton of money and went to see the action. He has to settle for listening to the matches on the radio. Tristan is disappointed he’s broke and can’t go to London to watch the big cricket tournament. There is more to this storyline, but first, let’s talk about what’s going on outside the Dalbys.


James on the other hand doesn’t want to give her too much false hope if he can’t turn around the infection. Dalby insists she will try everything she can to hold onto the herd and the farm. A bad winter or continued sickness could wipe the Dalbys out. This prescription is expensive and risky at the same time: protein cakes are costly and farmers depend on reserving hay to survive the winter months. Dalby move the herd indoors and feed them hay and protein cakes. James’ initial diagnosis for the herd is parasitic bronchitis, which is a result of eating contaminated pasture grass. Some UK folks were not happy about Tom showing up and Samuel West’s clapback tweets are eloquent and awesome. It’s also appreciated that rural England is less monoethnic than one would expect - something I wrote about last year during season 1.

This shows how the farmers of Yorkshire have a tight-knit community that can band together. Dalby because “his grandparents and the Dalbys were really good friends.” His grandparents are the Chapmans ( IMDB confirms) who we all remember from the season 1 finale. Tom, who is taking on farm work as the Dalby boys are far too young to lift 75-pound hay bales, says he’s offered to help Mrs. Dalby calls on James to evaluate their herd as a few of the cows are sick. Bill left behind a wife Patricia and two children to keep the family farm going. The episode begins with the procession to the church. All of Darrowby come to his funeral in their somber finest.
