Episode 440 (13th April 1978)

Plot
In Leeds, Matt and Dolly are returning after an abortive afternoon. Matt tells Dolly that he must know what's the matter. Dolly replies that she wonders if she'll be satisfied with the life of a farmer's wife for the rest of her days. Doesn't he want to do anything with his life, she asks? Sam appears at the farm and reveals he's got exactly the same symptoms as he would if he were suffering from brocellosis, which humans can catch. Wilks tries to urge Sam to let himself be admitted to hospital for a check up but Sam says he's never come out again. Wilks tries another tack, asking what Mrs Ratcliffe thinks about it. Sam is immediately wary and gets a bit shirty when Wilks suggests he'll be moving to the village soon. Sam says that would never do. He couldn't possibly go and lodge with Mrs Ratcliffe unless they were wed.
