James Herriot (Christopher Timothy) returns home from work to discover an attractive woman waiting in the sitting room (Georgina Melville). But any chance he thinks he has of chatting her up is blown out of the water when his boss Siegfried (Robert Hardy) turns up and soon makes it clear that she's his date for the night. It becomes even more obvious when he gives her bum a good squeeze to send her off to the car - something James would never of dared to do to this ice maiden. Cheeky indeed!
