WEBVTT 02:30.755 --> 02:33.965 This is a tale about an unprejudiced heart 02:34.050 --> 02:37.100 and how it changed our valley forever. 02:37.429 --> 02:39.689 There was a time not so long ago 02:39.764 --> 02:44.184 when pigs were afforded no respect except by other pigs. 02:44.269 --> 02:49.199 They lived their whole lives in a cruel and sunless world. 03:03.622 --> 03:08.412 In those days, pigs believed that the sooner they grew large and fat, 03:08.501 --> 03:11.331 the sooner they'd be taken into pig paradise. 03:11.922 --> 03:13.042 Get up! 03:13.131 --> 03:17.551 A place so wonderful, that no pig had ever thought to come back. 03:18.303 --> 03:19.553 Yeah! 03:27.854 --> 03:29.984 Good-bye, Mom. 03:31.191 --> 03:33.101 So when the day came for their parents 03:33.193 --> 03:36.023 to go to that other world of endless pleasures, 03:36.238 --> 03:38.828 it was not a time for young pigs to be sad, 03:38.907 --> 03:43.207 just another step towards the day when they, too, would make the journey. 03:59.177 --> 04:01.637 Perhaps it was because he was alone. 04:01.721 --> 04:04.681 Perhaps his sadness made him easier to catch. 04:04.766 --> 04:08.766 Whatever the reason, of the thousands of animals in the piggery that day, 04:08.853 --> 04:11.023 only one was chosen. 04:11.106 --> 04:13.236 - How's this one, Harry? - Just right for the purpose. 04:13.316 --> 04:15.276 - How much do I owe you? - It's a runt, Harry. 04:15.360 --> 04:17.200 Just a worthless, little runt. 04:33.420 --> 04:36.180 You're too modest, Esme Hoggett. 04:36.256 --> 04:40.596 Nine out of 10 first prizes for jams and jellies is more than a matter of luck. 04:40.677 --> 04:42.347 Well, luck still plays its part. 04:42.429 --> 04:46.439 Our berries were wickedly good this year, and our water is very tasty, too. 04:46.516 --> 04:48.476 Of course, we don't use the town water. 04:53.064 --> 04:56.484 Arthur Hoggett!

Church. 15:26.405 --> 15:28.535 When embarking on an audacious crime, 15:29.033 --> 15:31.203 a duck needs a willing accomplice. 15:31.285 --> 15:36.705 A creature who is reliable, beyond suspicion and above all, extremely gullible. 15:37.208 --> 15:38.878 Hey!

Where are we going? 15:54.475 --> 15:57.185 Now the duck knew exactly what he had to do. 15:57.269 --> 16:01.699 The alarm clock had to go. His very life depended on it. 16:01.774 --> 16:02.774 Do you see it? 16:03.401 --> 16:04.651 Yes. 16:04.735 --> 16:06.195 Good. 16:06.737 --> 16:09.327 So I go through the kitchen, across the living room. 16:09.407 --> 16:11.657 - Good, good. Yeah. - Into the bedroom. 16:11.742 --> 16:14.412 Get the mechanical rooster and bring it out to you. 16:14.745 --> 16:17.375 - What about that cat? - But quietly bring it out to you. 16:17.456 --> 16:19.796 - Excellent. - I don't think I can do it. 16:19.875 --> 16:22.915 It's against the rules. Only dogs and cats allowed in the house. 16:23.004 --> 16:25.834 I like that rule. It's a good rule, but this is bigger than rules. 16:25.923 --> 16:27.503 This is life and death. 16:27.591 --> 16:29.251 - It is? - Follow me. 16:31.595 --> 16:34.515 Hello!

Not the boss. Not the boss's wife. 16:46.402 --> 16:49.192 Oh, come on. Humans don't eat cats. Why? 16:49.280 --> 16:51.370 - Well, they're... - They're indispensable. They catch mice. 16:51.449 --> 16:53.409 Humans don't eat roosters. Why? 16:53.492 --> 16:55.822 They make eggs with the hens and wake everyone up in the morning. 16:55.911 --> 16:57.531 I tried it with the hens, it didn't work. 16:57.621 --> 17:00.541 So I turned to crowing and Io! I discover my gift. 17:00.624 --> 17:05.044 But no sooner do I become indispensable, then they bring in a machine to do the job! 17:05.129 --> 17:08.639 The treachery of it! A mechanical rooster! 17:08.966 --> 17:11.426 - Oh, dear me. - Oh, dear you? 17:14.263 --> 17:16.553 I suppose the life of an anorexic duck 17:16.640 --> 17:19.860 doesn't amount to much in the broad scheme of things. 17:20.394 --> 17:23.644 But, Pig, I'm all I've got. 17:24.857 --> 17:26.817 Why do you need me to do it? 17:26.942 --> 17:28.562 I'm allergic to cats. 17:28.652 --> 17:29.692 Oh. 17:29.779 --> 17:31.239 They make me sneeze. 17:32.323 --> 17:33.493 Ah. 17:35.493 --> 17:38.453 Don't worry.

I was trying to loosen things up a little. 22:28.494 --> 22:33.244 But, no. Today proves that it doesn't work. From now on, we'll all respect the rules. 22:33.332 --> 22:37.872 To each creature its own destiny and every animal in its proper place. 22:37.961 --> 22:42.381 And a pig's proper place is under the old cart, not in the barn 22:42.466 --> 22:45.636 and absolutely never in the house. 22:45.719 --> 22:48.639 - Is that understood? - Yes, sir. 22:48.806 --> 22:51.646 Now, Pig, regarding the company you keep. 22:52.309 --> 22:55.729 Being young, it's hard to discriminate, so I'll make it easy for you. 22:56.146 --> 23:01.106 I forbid you to talk to or consort with that duck ever. 23:01.902 --> 23:03.522 Do I make myself clear? 23:05.489 --> 23:07.249 What's consort? 23:07.825 --> 23:11.825 It means, young man, that you must not go anywhere near that duck. 23:11.912 --> 23:15.662 And as for the fugitive duck, when he shows himself, let him know this, 23:15.749 --> 23:20.339 being a duck he must behave like a duck. No more of this crowing and nonsense. 23:20.963 --> 23:23.463 He should accept what he is and be thankful for it. 23:23.549 --> 23:26.429 - That goes for all of us. - Here, here! 23:27.678 --> 23:30.848 Rex continued long into the night. 23:31.056 --> 23:33.476 Elsewhere, there was more talk. 23:33.559 --> 23:36.019 The subject was Christmas dinner 23:36.186 --> 23:41.646 and whether that year the main course would be roast pork or Duck a l'Orange. 23:42.943 --> 23:45.023 And pork is a nice, sweet meat. 23:45.112 --> 23:48.442 Then there's the crackling.

I'd never be able to fly like you can. 40:04.006 --> 40:08.596 Pigs aren't built to fly, dear, but speed isn't the thing, it's attitude. 40:08.678 --> 40:11.018 They just have to know who's boss. 40:23.401 --> 40:24.861 Out you go. 40:39.292 --> 40:41.252 Mmm. 41:09.739 --> 41:10.909 Get them up, Pig. 41:12.074 --> 41:14.034 He wants you to drive them out of the yard. 41:14.577 --> 41:17.327 - Away to me, Pig. - Remember, you have to dominate them. 41:17.413 --> 41:20.453 Do that and they'll do anything you want. Go. Go. 41:43.689 --> 41:45.529 This is ridiculous, Mom. 41:45.608 --> 41:47.698 Nonsense. It's only your first try. 41:47.777 --> 41:51.157 But you're treating them like equals. They're sheep. They're inferior. 41:51.239 --> 41:53.449 - Oh! No, they're not. - Of course they are! 41:53.533 --> 41:55.073 We are their masters, Babe. 41:55.159 --> 41:57.419 Let them doubt it for a second and they'll walk all over you. 41:57.495 --> 41:58.955 Fly, get that pig out of there. 41:59.121 --> 42:02.041 Make them feel inferior. Abuse them. Insult them. 42:02.124 --> 42:03.664 - Fly! - But they'll laugh at me. 42:03.751 --> 42:07.921 Then bite them. Be ruthless. Whatever it takes. Bend them to your will. 42:08.005 --> 42:10.005 - Enough! - Go on!

I just asked them nicely. 44:24.433 --> 44:26.973 We don't ask sheep, dear. We tell them what to do. 44:27.061 --> 44:29.431 But I did, Mom. They were really friendly. 44:30.064 --> 44:34.484 Maybe Rex might be a little more friendly if I had a talk with him. 44:34.568 --> 44:37.948 No, no, no. I think you better leave that to me. 45:02.763 --> 45:04.013 Rex? 45:07.226 --> 45:11.816 I know it was hard for you today watching all that happening, 45:12.314 --> 45:14.644 but surely it's not worth all this misery. 45:15.693 --> 45:19.443 Please, dear, not on such a beautiful night. 45:19.530 --> 45:22.330 You put these ideas into his head! 45:22.867 --> 45:25.077 Two-faced traitorous... 45:34.295 --> 45:37.505 Get down! Down, Rex. Fly! 45:39.008 --> 45:40.008 Rex! 46:01.030 --> 46:04.540 A dark cloud had descended on the valley, 46:04.617 --> 46:07.747 and the pig felt that the troubles were all his fault. 46:07.828 --> 46:12.088 But he was certain that he knew how to put things right again. 46:14.210 --> 46:15.720 Excuse me, sir. 46:16.754 --> 46:20.134 But I think all this trouble... 46:27.306 --> 46:30.806 Well, it's not distemper. Can't be rabies. 46:31.393 --> 46:33.433 Must be the hormones. 46:33.521 --> 46:37.061 What about Hoggett's notion, the dog being jealous of the wee pig? 46:37.149 --> 46:38.489 I don't see that myself. 46:39.068 --> 46:41.568 No. So what should we do? 46:41.737 --> 46:46.197 Well, you can keep him locked up or snip, snip. I can do it Tuesday. 46:47.868 --> 46:49.868 - No. - Or Wednesday. 46:49.954 --> 46:52.954 Hoggett doesn't want the dog operated on. He's a breeding dog. 46:53.874 --> 46:58.834 Well, now, I can sedate him, of course, but he'll be useless as a working dog. 47:08.973 --> 47:10.893 I'll give you some pills to put in his food. 47:10.975 --> 47:12.265 Good dog. 47:42.631 --> 47:45.671 A pig doing the work of a sheepdog? 47:45.759 --> 47:49.309 With Rex out of action and Fly injured from the fight, 47:49.388 --> 47:50.888 Farmer Hoggett had no choice. 47:50.973 --> 47:54.143 Maa! Maa! The boss has to give you some medicine. 47:54.226 --> 47:57.936 Oh, dear, I thought so! It's horrible stuff, that. 47:58.022 --> 47:59.732 I know, but it's for the best. 47:59.857 --> 48:02.857 Oh, our young 'un, if you say so. 48:18.167 --> 48:19.627 Shoo! Shoo! 48:20.544 --> 48:22.754 When the thought first came to him, 48:22.838 --> 48:25.758 Farmer Hoggett dismissed it as mere whimsy, 48:25.841 --> 48:30.471 but like most of his harebrained ideas, it wouldn't go away. 48:37.102 --> 48:39.562 - What are they doing? - It's a sheepdog trial. 48:39.647 --> 48:42.197 So it's like a competition for sheepdogs? 48:42.524 --> 48:45.154 And their bosses. It's like an obstacle course. 48:45.235 --> 48:47.445 How do they decide who wins? 48:47.696 --> 48:49.196 Well, it's time and mistakes. 48:49.365 --> 48:53.615 You get points for how quick you are and they take points off for every mistake. 48:53.702 --> 48:57.452 Every time a sheep goes the wrong way, that's a mistake and you lose points. 48:57.998 --> 48:59.338 Looks like fun! 48:59.917 --> 49:02.757 For a sheepdog, there's no prouder moment. 49:02.836 --> 49:04.126 You know, Rex and I used to... 49:07.716 --> 49:08.926 Never mind. 49:13.806 --> 49:15.306 Was Rex a champion? 49:15.391 --> 49:19.061 He had the makings of the greatest champion there ever was, 49:19.144 --> 49:20.524 but it wasn't to be. 49:20.604 --> 49:25.314 - What happened? - A while back when Rex was in his prime, 49:25.401 --> 49:28.901 the winter rains brought a great flood to the valley. 49:28.988 --> 49:32.498 Rex and the boss got most of the flock onto the high ground. 49:32.574 --> 49:35.534 Then Rex went back to look for the strays. 49:35.619 --> 49:39.919 He found them. They'd been stranded by the rising water. 49:40.749 --> 49:45.679 He tried to herd them across to safety, but they wouldn't budge. 49:45.754 --> 49:49.214 Too afraid and too stupid to save their own skins. 49:49.883 --> 49:52.763 It was freezing cold and the water kept rising. 49:53.137 --> 49:56.307 Rex stayed with them right through the night. 49:57.391 --> 50:00.181 By morning, the sheep were drowned. 50:00.686 --> 50:04.316 And when they found Rex, he was barely alive. 50:04.398 --> 50:05.988 Oh, Mom! 50:06.066 --> 50:09.196 Two weeks rest in front of the fire saw him back on his feet, 50:09.278 --> 50:12.448 but his hearing was never the same again. 50:12.823 --> 50:16.993 He'd never want anyone to know, but he's almost totally deaf. 50:17.578 --> 50:22.418 - Is that why he's so, you know, angry? - That's not the half of it. 50:22.666 --> 50:26.336 All this was barely a month before the Grand National Challenge. 50:26.628 --> 50:30.598 He tried his best, but he couldn't hear the boss's calls, and it slowed him up. 50:30.674 --> 50:33.844 The cold truth is that, but for the stupidity of sheep, 50:34.386 --> 50:37.636 Rex would've been the champion of champions. 50:42.311 --> 50:43.561 Good dog. 51:10.297 --> 51:12.797 That's it, all right. Good. 51:14.343 --> 51:16.173 Here we go. All right. 51:16.845 --> 51:19.435 Now, through here like this. 51:19.515 --> 51:22.265 And then, big hook to the left. Big hook. 51:22.434 --> 51:25.184 Big hook. Through this gate here. 51:26.647 --> 51:27.857 It was at that time 51:27.940 --> 51:30.860 that Mrs. Hoggett began to worry about her husband. 51:32.111 --> 51:35.611 But Farmer Hoggett knew that little ideas 51:35.697 --> 51:39.577 that tickled and nagged and refused to go away 51:39.660 --> 51:40.870 should never be ignored 51:41.537 --> 51:45.247 for in them lie the seeds of destiny. 51:45.833 --> 51:49.163 Close the gate like that, and you're done. 52:09.398 --> 52:14.408 Mom. Mom! Mom! Can we start work early today? 52:14.903 --> 52:17.283 Oh, dear, it's not even dawn yet. 52:17.364 --> 52:20.704 You can go to work when the rooster crows. 52:20.784 --> 52:22.164 Go back to sleep. 52:33.380 --> 52:34.680 Excuse me. 52:35.757 --> 52:36.847 Hello, sir. 52:37.926 --> 52:40.016 Excuse me, but it's nearly dawn and... 52:41.346 --> 52:43.056 - What? - Sorry to disturb you, 52:43.140 --> 52:45.270 but it's nearly dawn, and I wondered if you'd mind 52:45.350 --> 52:47.610 crowing just a few minutes early this morning. 52:47.686 --> 52:49.726 - Get out of here! - But, well, see I... 52:49.813 --> 52:51.483 - Get lost! - Okay. 52:54.902 --> 52:57.192 Whoa! 53:43.200 --> 53:47.580 Now the pig understood why the sheep called all dogs wolves. 53:47.663 --> 53:50.873 And he was filled with a deep and terrible rage. 54:20.112 --> 54:23.612 Maa! Maa! Are you all right? 54:24.324 --> 54:27.154 - Hello, young 'un. - Oh, Maa, can you get up? 54:27.828 --> 54:30.038 I don't reckon. 54:30.580 --> 54:34.510 It's over, Maa. The wolves have gone far away. 54:35.210 --> 54:38.380 I'll get the boss up here to look after you. 54:38.463 --> 54:41.423 You'll be all right. You'll be all right! 54:43.677 --> 54:46.887 Oh, Maa!

Who killed the old one? 55:59.628 --> 56:01.088 - Wolf! - Wolf. 56:01.171 --> 56:03.421 Is that the only words you half-wits know? 56:03.507 --> 56:06.507 - Wolf! - Are you saying it was a dog? 56:06.593 --> 56:08.173 - Babe! - Where's Babe? 56:08.261 --> 56:10.051 - Was it wolf or Babe? - Wolf! 56:10.138 --> 56:11.808 - Wolf! - Where's Babe! 56:11.890 --> 56:13.310 Wolf! 56:17.604 --> 56:20.894 Farmer Hoggett was carrying something in the crook of one arm. 56:20.982 --> 56:23.482 A kind of black, shiny tube. 56:25.695 --> 56:27.325 Come, Pig. 56:27.489 --> 56:31.079 The pig had a vague memory that shiny tubes produced food 56:31.159 --> 56:34.709 and guessed that some quite unexpected surprise 56:34.788 --> 56:37.748 would come out of the two small round mouths. 56:38.208 --> 56:40.758 - Babe! - Wolf! 56:40.836 --> 56:43.836 - Babe! - Wolf! 56:44.923 --> 56:46.213 Quiet! 56:48.135 --> 56:50.635 Fly decided to speak very slowly, 56:50.720 --> 56:54.600 for it was a cold fact of nature that sheep were stupid, 56:54.683 --> 56:57.393 and no one would ever persuade her otherwise. 56:58.145 --> 57:04.655 Please, please would you be so kind as to tell me what happened? 57:04.776 --> 57:06.026 Quiet! 57:06.194 --> 57:09.824 Please, tell me what happened this morning. 57:11.491 --> 57:13.491 The sheep spoke very slowly 57:13.577 --> 57:16.877 for it was a cold fact of nature that wolves were ignorant, 57:16.955 --> 57:19.295 and nothing would convince them otherwise. 57:19.458 --> 57:22.548 Babe came! He saved us! 57:23.003 --> 57:24.793 The wolves killed Maa. 57:25.338 --> 57:28.048 But Babe drove the wolves away! 57:28.133 --> 57:31.463 Thank you! Thank you!

Well, what do you think? 58:12.969 --> 58:15.809 That was the police on the telephone. Said there are wild dogs about. 58:15.889 --> 58:18.689 Apparently the Mitchells lost six lambs this morning. 58:19.684 --> 58:21.604 What on earth are you doing with that gun? 58:23.563 --> 58:24.733 Oh... 58:25.941 --> 58:27.311 Nothing. 58:59.891 --> 59:03.221 Now, it's all very simple.

Odd little things only a wife would notice. 59:54.654 --> 59:58.614 Still, I suppose he can't get up to too much mischief in just three days, can he? 59:58.700 --> 01:00:00.210 Of course not. 01:00:12.839 --> 01:00:14.259 Go on. 01:00:17.552 --> 01:00:18.712 Go on! 01:00:32.817 --> 01:00:35.987 Oh.

Shame about the weather. 01:00:37.364 --> 01:00:39.324 Nasty cough! 01:00:41.868 --> 01:00:44.168 It had been a long time since Arthur Hoggett 01:00:44.245 --> 01:00:47.915 had had an animal in whose abilities he had so much faith. 01:00:50.585 --> 01:00:54.385 And with the National Grand Challenge Sheepdog Trials only two days away, 01:00:54.464 --> 01:00:58.254 he wasn't going to let the fact that his animal was a pig deter him. 01:01:00.595 --> 01:01:03.515 He had been worried, for he was a truthful man, 01:01:03.598 --> 01:01:06.648 that the heading might say "Name of dog," 01:01:06.726 --> 01:01:09.066 and then whatever he put would be a lie. 01:01:09.145 --> 01:01:12.775 But as it happened, luck, for the moment, was running with him. 01:01:22.909 --> 01:01:26.289 It's all right, really! I'm just, well... 01:01:26.371 --> 01:01:28.241 Bless you. 01:02:17.338 --> 01:02:19.048 Whoa! 01:02:21.718 --> 01:02:23.348 Oh, no. 01:02:23.428 --> 01:02:25.348 So, what's happening? 01:02:25.472 --> 01:02:27.512 Oh, no. 01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:33.029 Shh.

Hold still. 01:02:41.446 --> 01:02:42.446 Huh? 01:02:47.160 --> 01:02:50.250 There are many perfectly nice cats in the world, 01:02:50.330 --> 01:02:53.050 but every barrel has its bad apples. 01:02:53.124 --> 01:02:55.504 And it is well to heed the old adage, 01:02:55.585 --> 01:02:59.125 "Beware the bad cat bearing a grudge." 01:04:22.797 --> 01:04:25.717 - How are you feeling? - A bit tired. 01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:28.720 You'll need a good sleep to put you in top condition tomorrow. 01:04:28.803 --> 01:04:30.593 Don't stay up too late.

It's a cat thing. 01:04:52.160 --> 01:04:53.580 Oh. Well... 01:04:56.539 --> 01:04:58.419 Feeling good about tomorrow, are you? 01:04:58.499 --> 01:05:00.919 Mmm-hmm. It should be all right, I think. 01:05:01.002 --> 01:05:06.882 Look, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm not sure if you realize 01:05:06.966 --> 01:05:11.306 how much the other animals are laughing at you for this sheepdog business. 01:05:11.387 --> 01:05:12.677 Why would they do that? 01:05:12.764 --> 01:05:16.094 Well, they say that you've forgotten that you're a pig. 01:05:16.184 --> 01:05:17.434 Isn't that silly? 01:05:19.187 --> 01:05:22.067 They even say that you don't know what pigs are for. 01:05:22.315 --> 01:05:24.195 What do you mean "what pigs are for"? 01:05:24.275 --> 01:05:27.235 You know, why pigs are here. 01:05:27.654 --> 01:05:29.234 Why are any of us here? 01:05:29.322 --> 01:05:31.902 Well, the cow's here to be milked, 01:05:31.991 --> 01:05:35.111 the dogs are here to help the boss's husband with the sheep 01:05:35.203 --> 01:05:38.083 and I'm here to be beautiful and affectionate to the boss. 01:05:38.164 --> 01:05:39.794 Yes? 01:05:41.167 --> 01:05:45.007 The fact is that pigs don't have a purpose. 01:05:45.088 --> 01:05:48.138 Just like ducks don't have a purpose. 01:05:48.841 --> 01:05:52.671 - I don't... - All right, for your own sake, I'll be blunt. 01:05:52.762 --> 01:05:57.142 Why do the bosses keep ducks? To eat them. 01:05:57.225 --> 01:05:59.815 So why do the bosses keep a pig? 01:06:00.728 --> 01:06:06.148 The fact is that animals that don't seem to have a purpose really do have a purpose. 01:06:06.234 --> 01:06:10.984 The bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all, 01:06:11.072 --> 01:06:13.242 when you come to think about it. 01:06:13.574 --> 01:06:15.404 They eat pigs? 01:06:15.493 --> 01:06:18.453 Pork, they call it. Or bacon. 01:06:19.122 --> 01:06:21.622 They only call them pigs when they're alive. 01:06:21.916 --> 01:06:24.296 But I'm a sheep-pig! 01:06:26.004 --> 01:06:28.924 The boss's husband's just playing a little game with you. 01:06:29.007 --> 01:06:32.847 Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten. 01:06:32.927 --> 01:06:34.807 That's the way the world works. 01:06:36.014 --> 01:06:39.934 Oh! I haven't upset you, have I? 01:07:11.007 --> 01:07:12.427 Mom? 01:07:13.301 --> 01:07:16.171 - Mom! - Good heavens. 01:07:16.262 --> 01:07:19.342 What on earth are you doing out in the rain in the middle of the night? 01:07:19.432 --> 01:07:22.392 You should be looking after yourself with such a big day ahead of you. 01:07:22.477 --> 01:07:24.107 Are pigs for eating? 01:07:24.228 --> 01:07:27.238 - Who told you that? - The cat told me. 01:07:27.315 --> 01:07:30.605 Pigs don't have a purpose except to be eaten by humans. 01:07:31.235 --> 01:07:32.485 Is it true? 01:07:33.780 --> 01:07:36.450 It's true. For many pigs, it's true. 01:07:36.532 --> 01:07:41.322 So my mother and my father and my brothers and my sisters all... 01:07:41.829 --> 01:07:43.209 Probably, dear. 01:07:45.708 --> 01:07:49.008 - Do you want to talk about it? - No, it's all right. 01:07:50.838 --> 01:07:54.048 I understand. I'll be all right. 01:07:57.929 --> 01:08:01.019 Even the boss? 01:08:02.517 --> 01:08:03.857 Yes, dear. 01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:34.050 Babe?

That's going to set Bert back. 01:14:36.577 --> 01:14:39.247 Don't worry, Valda. It's just a little slipup. 01:14:39.330 --> 01:14:42.050 Look, he's doing much better now. 01:14:42.124 --> 01:14:44.164 No, no, no. Too many loose sheep, there. 01:14:44.251 --> 01:14:46.291 And Sweep's usually such a reliable dog. 01:14:51.091 --> 01:14:52.801 Hey. Whoa!

It was clear as a bell. 01:16:03.622 --> 01:16:08.162 Must be another Hoggett. We only have the two dogs, and they certainly 01:16:08.419 --> 01:16:09.629 aren't... 01:16:21.140 --> 01:16:23.150 Wolf! Wolf! 01:16:23.225 --> 01:16:25.475 - Wolf! Wolf! - Wolf!

He doesn't know what to do. 01:16:41.160 --> 01:16:43.170 Don't know what we could do to help. 01:16:43.245 --> 01:16:45.705 It's not right to give help to a wolf. 01:16:47.041 --> 01:16:48.951 You wait here, Wolf. 01:16:49.043 --> 01:16:52.583 You'll have to speak up. I'm a little hard of hearing. 01:16:54.006 --> 01:16:56.546 I asked you to wait here, Wolf. 01:16:56.634 --> 01:16:59.424 Do what you're told by an old sheep for a change 01:16:59.511 --> 01:17:01.471 and we'll see what we can do for you. 01:17:03.557 --> 01:17:06.107 Work completed. Restore power. 01:17:08.854 --> 01:17:10.484 Very frustrating, indeed, 01:17:10.564 --> 01:17:12.814 to be sitting up here wondering what's causing all the delay. 01:17:12.900 --> 01:17:15.910 But we have someone on their way to the judges' rooms now. 01:17:15.986 --> 01:17:18.486 We'll tell you what's causing the problem as soon as we find out. 01:17:18.572 --> 01:17:19.902 Perhaps it's a drug test, Eric? 01:17:19.990 --> 01:17:21.160 Yeah, it could be. 01:17:21.241 --> 01:17:24.161 I've never heard of a drug test at a sheepdog contest before. 01:17:24.244 --> 01:17:25.414 Neither have I. 01:17:26.372 --> 01:17:29.372 We've got something here that might be of use to our pig. 01:17:29.458 --> 01:17:31.128 Password! Password! 01:17:32.461 --> 01:17:37.751 Before we gives you anything, Wolf, you'll be making us a solemn promise. 01:17:38.342 --> 01:17:40.002 - Yes? - Treat us civil! 01:17:40.094 --> 01:17:42.594 Yes!

I'll try that, too. I'll try. 01:17:52.856 --> 01:17:54.196 It's preposterous! 01:17:54.274 --> 01:17:56.694 We'd be the laughingstock of every sheepdog organization 01:17:56.777 --> 01:17:58.827 in every civilized country in the world! 01:17:58.904 --> 01:18:00.734 - There's no rule... - We'll see about that 01:18:00.823 --> 01:18:03.283 when the adjudication committee have finished their meeting. 01:18:03.367 --> 01:18:05.037 I mean, what will we have next year, huh? 01:18:05.119 --> 01:18:08.749 A laughing hyena doing show jumping, I suppose? 01:18:08.831 --> 01:18:12.331 But the most important of all, you must promise 01:18:12.418 --> 01:18:16.178 never ever to let this password we be about to give 01:18:16.255 --> 01:18:18.425 to be used against any sheep anywhere. 01:18:18.507 --> 01:18:21.057 I promise you that. I'll make sure the pig knows it, too. 01:18:21.135 --> 01:18:23.975 - We have the promise! - 'Tis for Babe. 01:18:24.054 --> 01:18:26.724 - 'Tis for his sake. - Maa would have wanted it. 01:18:30.477 --> 01:18:33.227 Baa, ram, ewe. 01:18:33.313 --> 01:18:36.103 Baa, ram, ewe. 01:18:36.191 --> 01:18:40.061 To your breed, your fleece, your clan be true. 01:18:40.154 --> 01:18:44.654 Sheep be true. Baa, ram, ewe. 01:18:45.826 --> 01:18:48.076 Is that it? Is that the password? 01:19:05.012 --> 01:19:08.262 Mr. Hoggett, the judges would like me to convey to you 01:19:08.348 --> 01:19:11.768 their disappointment that a man such as yourself, 01:19:11.852 --> 01:19:13.772 with a long and honorable association 01:19:13.854 --> 01:19:16.234 with the work of the National Sheepdog Association, 01:19:16.315 --> 01:19:20.615 should see fit to flout the historic conventions 01:19:20.694 --> 01:19:23.024 which have long ruled our sport. 01:19:23.614 --> 01:19:26.784 However, we find there is no rule, as such, 01:19:26.867 --> 01:19:31.537 which would prevent your animal being entered. 01:19:46.094 --> 01:19:48.804 The committee has ruled. If you wish to proceed, 01:19:48.889 --> 01:19:50.689 there is nothing we can do to stop you. 01:19:53.602 --> 01:19:55.142 What do you wish to do? 01:20:02.569 --> 01:20:05.579 But there appears to be some movement down there now, 01:20:05.656 --> 01:20:12.076 and I expect if there are no further problems, we shall see Hoggett and his dog, Pig. 01:20:12.579 --> 01:20:15.379 - Unusual name.
