This episode makes you think about what jot down of person you are.
Are you a Bosworth or a That Lady Who Paints Her Cows Because She Doesnt Want to Get Fined?
There is no third option.
Mr. Bosworth, the local warden, wants to protect local citizens from running into cows during a blackout.
Theres a war on, Siegfried!!
And Mrs. Hall is a blackout warden!
Its because he loves her, you see.
I cant believe were on season five and I have to keep banging this drum.
Think of what weve survived.
Probably some other people Ive forgotten.
Our other characters are off visiting farms.
Before heading out for the day, James finds Siegfried reading about hemorrhagic septicemia to Jimmy.
Its his favorite, Siegfried says.
He and Richard visit Mr. Dowson, who has a calf that keeps kicking its milk bucket over.
My parents would remove the back seats from our van for long road trips and wed lay out blankets.
At least Jimmy is contained within a vessel, even if it is made of wicker.
James leaves the diaper bag on top of the car and drives off.
This is a lie.
Meaning the calf doesnt kick the bucket over at least one time.
Mr. Dowson is overjoyed.
He has a makeshift tea-towel diaper.
and James tells Helen what happened.
Good job, James!
You could have tried to hide that, but you didnt, and that is great.
Helen responds very kindly, and everyone does a splendid job.
When Doris and Helen meet, they immediately have more chemistry than James and Helen ever have.
Clearly, the show isnt going to go in that direction, but Doris is super-putting out 1940s-gay-lady vibes.
Then it seems like shes maybe closer to Jennys age.
Jenny (who is now wearing asnood) tells Helen shes thinking of moving to London.
She could get a job in a shop.
Helen tells her dad that if you chop Jenny in half, itll say farmer.
Is this an expression in northern England?
With Richard!What?You all are wasting this opportunity.
Jenny and Doris are even in a forest together!
A very gay place to be!
We can, however, have more bonding activities between Mrs. Hall and Siegfried.
Mrs. Hall finds a crying dog by the stream and brings Siegfried out to look at it.
The dog ingested poison, and despite Siegfrieds efforts, it dies.
Then we discover that the dog (Bingo) is Mr. Bosworths!Nooo.
It was already sad, and then we find out Bingo was Bosworths only friend.
Later, Siegfried queries Mrs. Hall as to this potential similarity.
After calling them practically twins (a joke!
), she tells Siegfried that he hasnt given up on life like Bosworth.
Also, he has a chosen family.
This isthe future that liberals want.
Also, who gets the pie out of the oven?
Wearing an apron for some reason, despite not having made the pie.
Siegfried has decided to be more open to change and embrace adaptability.
As we leave our beloved family, Mr. Bosworth knocks and yells at them to put that light out.
The curtains are open again, and Siegfried incurs a fine of one pound.
More than my jobs worth, Mr. Farnon.
They continue bickering while everyone left at the table toasts to things that never change.
